PRESENTb. /b

KASMINEb. /b

Whoever this Alpha Saint was, he had to be someone… serious? Influential? Terrifying? I didn’t know. But one thing was clear… Nagel didn’t like hearing his name. At all.

Because, how the hell was Nagel a bit panicked about Alpha Saint’s involvement in whatever?

Alpha Kex, who had just beenughing like a lunatic, immediately stood up, cursing under his breath. His face had drained of all bthat /bsick amusement, and now he looked like a dog who had just heard a bigger one growl in the distance. He dressed back up quickly, muttering to Nagel about how “that motherfucker better not get in my business” as they both stormed out of the room.

I exhaled in relief the moment the door mmed shut.

God… thank Selene.

My shaking hands reached to adjust the torn neckline of the gown and pull it over my chest. bI /bwiped my bface /broughlyb, /btrying to stop the tears that had been falling nonstop. It was pointless. I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t stop shakingb. /bMy body didn’t feel like mine anymore. It felt tainted. Like their hands and words and filth had permanently settled into bmy /bskin.

I could barely breathe.

This ce was going to destroy me.

If Kester didn’t find me soon, there wouldn’t be anything left of me to save.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered to no one. “I’m so sorryb…/b”

I buried bmy /bface in my hands.

bA /bsob choked me.

“Please, Kesterb…/bb” /bbI /bcroaked, my throat raw from crying. “Save me. I swearb, /bI’ll never doubt you again. I’ll never disobey you again. Justb… /bjuste get me. Pleaseb…/bb” /bbI /bsobbed so hard it hurts.

I knew this bwas /ball my fault. I was living proof of what happened to people who made stupid choices. But I had already paid enough for it. Being in this ce with these monsters bwas /balready enough payment.

bI /bwish I could turn back the hands of time.

I wish a lot of things right now. But above ball/bb, /bI wish Kester would save me before these monsters do worse that making me bsuck /btheir cocks and almost raping me.

Kester was the only one who ever bsaw /bthe danger before bit /bknocked. And I treated him like he was the danger.

Stupid. So fucking stupid.

bIn /bless than bfive /bminutes, just when I thought they were both leaving or something, the door flung open again and bNagel /bband /bbKex /bwalked bin /bagain, grinning like a devil who’d just gotten a better deal with hell.

They both walked in like they’de to announce something wonderful.

I bknew /bthat look. That fake calm in bNagel’s /bbeyes/b. That bgrin /bon bKex’s /blipsb. /b

bThey /bhad made a decision I wasn’t going to like.

b“/bbWell/b, well, well,” Kex drawled, pping his hands like he was hosting a game show. “Turns out my boat’s been dyed. Lucky me, bhuh? /b

He looked too pleased.

Nagel stood to the side, arms folded like bhe /bbwas /bjust here to watch.

bMy /bheart thudded hard in my chest. I blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of what Kex had just said.

Boatb? /b

My eyes darted between the two of them, panic making its way up my throat.

“Wait… we’re on water?”

Kex crouched in front of me, shing those perfect white teeth again like he bwas /btrying to be charming. “Oh, babyb, /byes,” he cooed mockingly. “A little too far out for that mate of yours to sniff you out and magically appear before we move you bto /banother ship,” He announced like bit’s /binformation I should be grateful about.

No.

Nob… /b

How on earth would Kester find me? Would he ever be able to even guess we’re not onnd? Oh, God. I was doomed.

“And, did Nagel tell you the good news?” Kex asked and crouched to my level with a wide smile on his face, “You’ve been given a free bticket /bbto /bAsia!” Heughed so hard like he had just cracked one of the funniest jokes humanity had ever heard.

“What do you mean?” My voice was so weak and almost inaudible. I wish I hadn’t heard correctly.

No. He must be joking.

“Exactly what it sounds like,” he said. “New owners. New country. New life.b” /b

Tears stung my eyes again.

God, no.

They were going to sell me.

“But before we do..” Nagel unfolded his arms slowly, his lips curling into something that bwasn’t /bquite ba /bsmile. “We’ve decided bto /bbsample /bbour /bmost valuablemodity. Just tob… /bassure our buyers of its quality. Buyers appreciate proof bof /bsatisfaction, you know.”

My stomach turned to ice. I swear I didn’t like the sound of that.

bI /bscrambled backward, but Kex’s hand shot out band /bheld me still. “Ah–ah,” he tutted, dragging me closer. b“/bbYou /bdon’t get to run.”

b“/bbPlease/b… bPlease/b. Don’tb…/bb” /bbMy /bvoice trembled, and instead of pity and understanding, Kex bsmiled/b.

b“/bbKester /blooses his damn mind over this pretty little bcunt/b. bYou /bbreally /bthink I’d let a chance like this bpass /bme bby/bb?/bb” /bbHe /bbughed /blike bthe /bmaniac bhe /bollibis/b. “I’d be damned not to fuck that pussy that makes Kester think he can kill the whole world just bto /bprotect.” /li/ol

bHe /bwrenched me forwardb, /bhis other hand bfisting /bin my hair. “Nagelb, /bstart the fucking video. Let’s bgive /bbKester /bba /bbfront /bbrow /bbseat/bb./bb” /b
