May watched the building in front of her through the tinted glass of Sean's sports car with wide eyes.
The hotel they were heading to looked luxurious but deserted. With dull paint and a neon sign that look outdated.
In the early days of their marriage, Sean often surprised May with romantic getaways like this. Booking a hotel for a few days just to relax and make love, behaving like a newlywed couple.
He doesn't do it anymore. Money and busyness are the reasons he gives. May understands, of course. That's why she felt uneasy about the surprise Sean was giving her even at a hotel as runndown as this one.
"You don't have to book a hotel for me, Sean," May said. "I'm happy enough that you could spend tonight with me. You don't have to waste money."
May turned her face back to Sean and could see that her comment seemed to hurt his feelings.
"Don't underestimate me, May," he said, frowning. "Just because bussiness is bad doesn't mean I'm broke."
May quickly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Sean, I didn't mean to—"
"Don’t worry about it," Sean cut her off abruptly, turning off the car engine. "Come on, let's get out."
Not wanting to make Sean more upset, May complied. She let Sean open the car door for her and lead her towards the hotel entrance.
A muscular security guard in uniform smiled at Sean, nodding, before opening the door for them.
Inside, the atmosphere seemed equally deserted. There was only one receptionist in the lobby, staring at them with a sour expression.
"Did you book the hotel?" May asked Sean.
"Yeah," Sean mumbled, nodding.
They walked past the reception desk and directly entered the elevator. There were many floor it seemed. Sean pressed the top floor button, and the lift began ascending.
When lift arrived, pulling May's waist closer, Sean guided her through the empty hallway with rows of closed doors in either side.
May's eyes widened as she heard moans and groans coming from behind the doors on both sides. It seemed that whoever behind the door were enjoying some
Sean stopped when they arrived at one of the rooms and knocked on the door.
That's when May began to feel her heart beating faster than ever before.
"I thought you booked the hotel, Sean," May whispered to her husband. "Don't you have the key?"
Sean cleared his throat.
"No," he said shortly. "Bruce booked the hotel."
"Bruce?" May's eyebrows immediately furrowed. Before she could ask further, the door opened.
"May!" Bruce exclaimed, arms wide open. "Happy birthday, Baby."
Bruce grabbed May's shoulders and kissed her cheek. Not the kind of kiss appropriate for a birthday celebration with your cousin's wife, but the kind that made May want to push him away and wipe his touch with her hand.
"H-helo, Bruce." Trying to stay calm even though she was starting to feel nervous, May pushed Bruce's chest and only then realized that he was wearing only a bathrobe with a loose tie. "I-I don't understand. What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing?" Bruce answered May's question with a question. "Waiting for the birthday girl, of course. Come in. Come in."
"W-wait a minute—"
May's sentence was cut off when Sean pushed her into the room.
"Don't forget our deal, Bruce," Sean said to his cousin, completely ignoring the confusion on his wife's face.
"Deal?" May asked, shifting her gaze from Bruce to Sean. "What are you talking about? What deal?"
Ignoring May, Sean repeated his words, "Bruce? Did you hear what I said?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah... I remember. Don't hurt her face and use a condom. Anything else?" Bruce asked impatiently.
"No."
"Good. You can wait outside."
Bruce slammed the door in front of Sean's face and locked it tightly. Only then did he turn to May, who stood stiffly inside the room.
"Now, what shall we do first, Sweetheart?" he asked while squinting his eyes.
May stepped back and looked at Bruce. The man was now grinning wide at her. His small closely set eyes turn thin. May was thinking of running away, but Bruce was a big man, with fat piled on top of his muscular body. May didn’t think she would have the chance to escape.
"W-what's really happening?" May asked, her voice starting to tremble. "What deal are you talking about?"
"You'll know in a moment, Darling," he replied, rubbing his beer belly of a stomach. "But first, would you like a drink? I have wine... whiskey... beer?"
May swallowed hard and forced herself to survey the room she had just entered.
There was no window in the room, which was odd for such a luxurious hotel.
The black marble floor and walls covered with black wallpaper made May's heart tighten with fear. Everything in the room looked eerie and dark. The furniture was minimal and black—only a black wooden table, black leather sofa, and a large bed with a black-colored bedspread.
May tried to hold herself back from trembling as she noticed four iron shackles placed at each corner of the bed.
"No, thank you," May replied, turning her gaze back to Bruce. “I don’t want to drink.”
"Are you sure?" Bruce asked, taking a step closer to May. "Alcohol will make what's about to happen easier to swallow."
"What do you mean—" May's sentence halted when she finally realized what was happening. The reality hit May hard, making her feel dizzy. "D-did S-Sean offered you something?"
Bruce's coarse laughter filled the silence in the room.
"You're smarter than I thought," he answered. "For two hundred thousand dollars, I own you tonight, Sweetheart."
"No. I-I'm not a prostitute. I'm not willing to do this."
Everything seemed to spin in May's sight. She knew she needed to get out of the room. Without waiting for Bruce's reply, May walked past Bruce towards the door. Unfortunately, before her hand could reach the doorknob, Bruce grabbed her waist and pulled her back into the room.
"Bruce! Let me go," May struggled, trying to breathe, but her lungs seemed to stop functioning.
Bruce's laughter sounded rough and cruel.
"Trying to escape already?" he asked in a growl. "Oh, no can do, Sweetheart. I've paid Sean a lot of money. You can't leave until I am dome."
"Please, Bruce," May whimpered in the silent room. "Let me go. Don't do this. I don't know what Sean promised you, but I don't want to be here. L-let me go."
Bruce didn't answer. He just pushed her onto the bed and gripped her wrists so she couldn't move.
"Stop, Bruce!” May begged. She couldn't think clearly. Her whole body shook with fear she had never felt before that night. “You are hurting me... Please, stop!"
Bruce laughed. Low and without emotion, killing every last hope she’s been desperately clinging to. He grind himself against her and May could feel how hard Bruce was.
“Keep whining, Baby,” he said in rough voice. “Can’t you tell the more you fight the more excited I get?”
Tears flew down May’s cheek. She struggled harder and fought. She clawed and kicked, which only made Bruce angry.
Bruce grabbed the handcuff before putting them around May’s wrist.
“No. no. Please don’t do this, Bruce,” May begged with tears running down her face. “This isn’t right. I am married to you cousin. Please let me go.”
He didn’t answered, just running his fingers all over May’s body, feeling and touching. Bruce’s rough hand buched May’s dress and ripped her pantties before tossing them aside. Next, he grabbed the top of her dress and roughly pushed the fabric down including her strapless bra.
May struggled hard against her cuff, only stopped when the pain in her wrists was too much to bear. She sobbed when Bruce cupped her breast roughly while sighning.
“For 200 thousand dollars, I expect bigger breasts. How dissapointing,” Bruce said while lowing his gaze down and gave May’s slit a little slap. “Let’s hope Sean doesn’t loosen you too much.”
“N-no, please,” May forced herself to ask for mercy one last time. But when Bruce took his robe, rolled on a condom and then slamed into her, she knew her chance of escaping were over.
“Arg, fuck!” Bruce growled lowly while May screamed in pain.May's body trembled and tears flowed down her face even harder when Bruce started to move.Not only was that Bruce killed everything that feels clean and innocent with every thrust, but he was also hurting her.“S-stop! It hurts… Stop it, Bruce!”May cried and struggled to no avail. Her wrists ached from the grip of the handcuffs while her body ached from Bruce's rought thrusts which continued without pause.As if to deepen her pain, Bruce pulled May's ankles over his shoulders and slammed into her again with all his force."B-bruce! Stop!” May gritted her shaking teeth while trying to hold on. “Please don’t do this. P-please let me go.”Bruce just laughed and seemed to enjoy even more watching her cry like that.May didn’t know is she could hold on any longer. She thought she was about to pass out when Bruce finally slammed into her once more and shuddered.When Bruce finally rolled off of May, she sobbed and she turned her
"I'd think twice before you do that, Pete," Stone warned. "I'll consider it a threat if you keep moving your hand, and I don't like being threatened."Pete’s hand froze, so maybe he wasn't as stupid as he looked. "You might not know me because you're new, but I am the one who runs this part of town," Stone gave the man a sharp look before continuing, "My name is Stone Black. If you decide to work in this area, that means you work for me. You understand? I'm here to discuss the rules that you need to follow and let you know when and how I will be taking my share.""Your share?" The man scratched his belly and let out a snort that sounded like laughter. "Listen, man. I've been in this business for years. As far as I know, America is a free country. That means I don't work for anyone and I don't pay anyone."Stone glanced at the punk-haired man who had opened the door for him earlier. The young man watched what was happening but remained silent. Even as Stone's man started to spread out
When Bruce finally finished, May could barely move. Her whole body ached, and her head spun. It felt like her lungs had stopped working because no matter how hard she tried to breathe, there was no air.The sound of a phone ringing echoed through the room.Bruce jumped out of bed and walked towards the table. Without covering his still naked bulky body, Bruce picked up the phone and answered."Yes?" he said to whoever was on the other end of the line. After waiting for a moment, he replied, "Alright... I understand... I'll do it."After hanging up the phone, Bruce turned back and grinned at May."It must be my lucky day, May," he said while walking back to the bed. "The man who owns this hotel likes you, and he's going to offer your worthless husband a deal he can't refuse. It means you'll probably stay here longer, and I'll have a chance to see you again. More freedom this time without Sean's rules."“What?” May asked with a coa
May blinked several times as she finally regained consciousness. She found herself in a small windowless room with bright lights overhead. Squinting, she turned to the side and saw a small bathroom near the bed she was lying on and a tiny wardrobe next to it.It took a few seconds before May remembered what had just happened to her.Bruce!As the realization hit her, she jerked upright and grew more panicked when she realized she was still wearing nothing under the blanket.Her sudden movement triggered a wave of pain throughout her body, causing her to groan."Thank God she's still alive." A low feminine voice came from the corner of the room. "Welcome back, May."May immediately pulled the blanket to her chest and held it tightly as she turned towards the source of the voice.By the door sat a woman on a chair, smiling broadly at her."W-who are you?" May asked hoarsely."I am the one who is responsible for this place. You can call me Madame Jade," the woman replied with a low seduc
Nikolai has invited Stone to have lunch at a restaurant located in the middle of the Belosokov power district. As a sign of trust and to honor their peace agreement, Stone agreed and came alone.Stone arrived at the restaurant around noon. After handing over the keys to his black Porsche to the valet working in front of the restaurant, he went inside.While buttoning his jacket, Stone told the receptionist who he was there to meet and followed the woman to one of the tables in the corner of the restaurant."Stone," Nikolai said, standing up and extending his hand for a handshake. "Good to see you again."Stone shook Nikolai's hand and sat down. He ordered a glass of water and coffee when the server came to take their order."How have you been, Nikolai?" Stone asked, observing the man. Nikolai looked the same as when he last saw him. Around 40s, the man appeared fit and healthy, with a few hard lines around his brown eyes."I've been well," he answered. "And you? I heard you recently bo
Same as yesterday, May still refuses to eat.Kamila's coaxing only succeeds in getting May to drink juice and milk until Madame Jade arrives late in the evening with an angry face."So you're refusing to eat?" the woman said, her voice louder than usual. "Fine, don't eat then!"She grabbed the dinner tray from the table and threw it across the room.The sound of breaking bowls and plates echoed in the room, causing May to shiver even more. She edged away, clutching the blanket to her chest like a shield against Madame Jade's anger. But Madame Jade roughly pulled the blanket from May and threw it to the floor."Now, get up!" the woman snapped. "Eating or not, you will start working tonight."While May tried to hold back her tears, Madame Jade walked over to the wardrobe in the room and rummaged through its contents. She grabbed one of the lingerie and then threw it at May's face."Put that thing and fix your hair. Apply some makeup to cover your swollen face. I don’t want my customers
Stone was enjoying his dinner at the dining table when his phone buzzed.He pulled his phone out of his pocket while Molly, who was standing beside Angelo, was enthusiastically talking about the discounts she found while shopping at the supermarket today.With one hand, Stone unlocked the phone screen while his other held his fork with a piece of meat on it.A new email notification appeared. From Nikolai, with the subject line reading, 'Who knows, you might change your mind.'Recalling their conversation a week ago during lunch, Stone could guess the contents of the email even before opening it. That guy must have sent pictures of women at his precious brothel.Scrolling through the screen, Stone examined the photos of the young women within. Each with different types and backgrounds, accompanied by bios and other irrelevant information like breast size and height.Stone shook his head and was about to turn off his phone when suddenly something made him stop.On the screen, no bigger
"Please help me, Sir. I beg of you, don’t leave me here," May whispered into the man's ear.Ignoring Madame Jade, who was now screaming for the guards, the man looked at May with his blue eyes for a moment before asking, "Do you want me to get you out of here?"May knew she should be scared. The tattoos covering the man's neck and arms should have told her that the man was dangerous, but the kindness and concern that she saw in his eyes were the anchor that kept her courage intact."Yes," May replied. “Get me out of this place.”From the corner of her eye, she could see two guards now angrily marching towards them."Please," May added, panic gripping her once again. "Don’t leave me. Take me with you.""You won't like what I'm going to do to get you out," the man replied."I don't care," May answered in one breath. "I'll do anything you want. Just— Just don't leave me here."May was willing to take the chance. She
