Darkness, breath, temperature. Emma woke up from unconsciousness. Before her eyes were a dark space, she panicked. Her mind seemed to have lost consciousness, slight dizziness causing her to wince in pain.
Gradually, Emma adjusted to the darkness around her. Her consciousness had begun to recover. She was probably sitting in a large cargo van, like a container used to transport export goods. She could hear the rustle of the wind against the branches of the trees, surrounded by perhaps only this freighter on the road. Emma couldn't move her arms and legs, which were tied so tightly that her wrists hurt. Emma tried to move to the side, and she could feel that she bumped into something soft…but with human body heat. Right! She's not alone here. There are others! "Who are you?" A voice came from the darkness behind her, a gentle voice that seemed to come from a girl. Emma blinked the light of the moon outside, creeping in through the openings. They allowed her to see the figure of the girl sitting behind her. "Who…who are you?" Emma asked.The girl did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a few seconds, then responded timidly. "Lena, are you from A?" "How…how do you know?" Emma is a girl who lives in A City, as Lena said. But how does she know? "Because of your accent. I have a friend who lives in city A, and he has the same accent as you." Lena answered very naturally. Other than her, it seemed that everyone else was unconscious. Emma was the only one who could talk to her. The girl named Lena moved slightly closer to Emma. Emma could smell the scent of jasmine on this girl's body. "Lena, where are you from?" Emma asked softly, wanting more information about Lena. At least it might give her some helpful information. "Me? I live in Telanka*."*Telanka: Unreal city.Emma didn't know where Telanka was, a name so foreign to her. She only knew significant cities in the world, such as New York, Oslo, Paris, and Toronto, ... the city named "Telanka" was the first time Emma had heard of it in seventeen years of her life. Lena was not surprised by Emma's attitude. She explained. "It is a small city near the border of our country, to be more precise, it is near the border with Italy. Telanka is an unremarkable city, but countless streets are busy with freight cars running through the day and night. Emma, I was surprised to hear your accent. A is a city far away from Telanka, and it seems you have been away from city A for a long time." The information Lena said made Emma's whole body soft and powerless. Telanka? Is she in Telanka? Why did all these bad things happen to her? "I met a boy in the subway. He said he had lost his mother, and then I asked a man nearby to help him. But he was gone when I returned to where the boy had sat. I…I was drugged…." Emma said, recalling when the man squeezed her. For a moment, she felt desperate. She was wrong, wrong in trying to be independent, trying to adjust to life outside. Lena smiled softly, and in the darkness, Emma could hear the giggles of a truly desperate woman. Emma doesn't understand. Why is this girl laughing? "You are so lucky, Emma. Not only was I drugged, but I was also raped by them as soon as I was kidnapped. Emma, are you a virgin?" Lena doesn't lie. She still remembered that horrifying moment, the three hungry tiger-like men swarming her body to exhausting her. Lena was no longer a virgin before she was caught…Traffickers like the girls who are virgins. Selling them to prostitutes in Thailand or Cambodia will get very high prices. Traffickers rape women who are not virgins before they are exported to other countries' borders. Lena guessed maybe they wouldn't be sent to Thailand or Cambodia this time. It would be Italy. After being raped by traffickers, Lena overheard their conversation. They have a 'client' waiting in Italy. The girls in this container will be taken to the customer's place and then raped and imprisoned. After this mission is successful, a large amount of money will go to the traffickers, and girls who are not virgins like Lena… will have another hellish gate opened. Emma knew her life was over. She was from a princess living in a castle to, within a few hours, a tool to satisfy the lusts of disgusting men in Italy. Emma's eyes seemed to have filled with tears, a line of water rolling down her pretty cheek. Lena glanced at the despair in Emma's eyes. How pitiful the fate of teenage girls to fall into hell on earth. "Lena, how long have you been here?" "Maybe… twelve hours. Perhaps we have gone out of Telanka, or worse, out of the country and into Italy. I guess we'll be taken to that 'client' mansion shortly." The situation was not very good, and they were locked in a large container truck, buried behind large cardboard boxes. Even if this car is searched, these cartons will hinder their chances. Lena sighed, desperate. "I have been away from home for dozens of hours. Lena, who do you live with?" "I live with my mother and sister, and we have a small house by the river. Every day passed very peacefully. But I am a person who often disobeys my mother, I want to go to another city to be independent, but things are not so simple…as you know, I was kidnapped by them on the way to Pinasta*." *Pinasta: Unreal city. Near Telanka. "And I live with my mother and father, I have a younger brother, but he often goes with my father on business trips. My family…not happy. I wanted to be free but ended up being imprisoned somewhere else. Lena, will my life forever be in an invisible glass cage?" Emma is not much different from Lena and is also very desperate right now. "Do you want to escape?" Escape? Lena, can you do it? "How?"The big container truck was running on a deserted highway. At midnight, the cold mist began to spread everywhere. It affects the driver's vision. But for some reason, this road has only one large container running alone. The gloomy atmosphere made the driver cold, and he wore a black mask covering his entire face. Through the rearview mirror, a large tattoo could be seen on his neck. "Arturo, do you have any cigarettes?" Arturo is a young man with blond hair sitting next to the driver, and he does not wear a mask, so his entire face is fully exposed. The wind blew in from outside, causing his hair to flutter in the wind. The teenager has a high nose and white skin. His body is not too big. Instead, he has the appearance of a young Asian. Arturo took a lighter and a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket in the shape of a horse. He lit it and gave it to the driver, he said. "Drive carefully. The girls behind are worth millions of dollars from that old Italian." The driver didn't
Three o’clock in the morning.The familiar container truck passed the Italian customs checkpoint, officially entering the Italian area quickly. Arturo pushed the customs officer a pile of US dollars, and then they conveniently drove away. Of course, before leaving, the customs officer helped them delete the CCTV containing the image of this container. Arturo doesn’t want to return to that country with this ugly container, and he will, of course, use a fake passport and take a plane to an Asian country to relieve it.Based on the address given by the Italian man’s subordinates, Arturo followed the map and entered a remote suburban area. In the distance, Brown could see a large white mansion standing alone in the middle of wild land.Even though it was three o’clock in the morning, the lights in the mansion were still on, making it more gorgeous than ever. Brown wondered, do the wealthy older men of the underworld all have a life like this? It is estimated that this old Italian man’s ma
"Thank you for helping me untie. I need to get Carla out of this place." Ezra untied Carla and said. Her face still maintains a cold expression. She looks like a professional bodyguard…"Er…Erza…Can you help me get out of here?" Emma was a little awkward, she asked. She didn't have much hope that Erza would agree. After all, they had only met for less than ten minutes. Furthermore, Erza's job is to rescue her owner - Carla, the thirteen-year-old Italian girl.As Emma thought, Erza refused."I am not a good person. My job is to keep Carla safe. Thank you very much for helping me untie. I will repay you in the future, not now." Erza said frankly. Emma also understood and did not insist on wanting Erza to extend her hand to save her.Emma must rely on herself to survive. If she can leave this place, she can go to the authorities to report the case and return to France. Emma wants to go back home, even if it means living in that castle for the rest of her life. She accepts. Even if her mo
"Emma, me and Erza will protect you from danger. If we are locked up here for too long, Mr. Ivan will come and save us. When I get home, I'll tell Ivan you saved Erza and me." Carla said innocently. In her eyes, there was appreciation and excitement for Emma. Emma's fingers held hers tighter. Emma had a feeling that Carla loved her very much.But in reality, what Emma does is help Erza untie and help her so they can defeat the two bodyguards. Apparently, Erza was the one who saved her. Emma said."There is no need for that. After I leave, I will go to the embassy to contact my family and return to France. By then, we will have to be apart." Emma stroked Carla's hair. Carla's footsteps stopped suddenly. Her face stiffened as if she disagreed with Emma's intention. Her gaze seemed to be in turmoil, a disturbance that shouldn't be on a thirteen-year-old.Ezra walked in front. When Carla stopped, she didn't move on either. Erza had guessed something, she explained to Emma."Once we get ou
"I don't know where she is…I lost her 5 minutes ago."The other man had no doubts about Emma's words. He determined she was also a kidnapping victim, so he lowered his guard against Emma. He had a phone, the two of them based on the light inside it to trace the exit to the second floor. The light is just beginning to appear.Somehow, that strange man disappeared behind Emma's back. Once again, Emma was walking alone on a deserted street without anyone. Outside, the sun is getting higher and higher, but not because of that. It can shine everywhere. In the distance, a dark cloud was quietly drawing in.The boundary of the sky is divided into two different extremes. Emma tried to run as fast as she could. Upstairs, she could hear the complicated sounds of the men as if they were fighting. Emma didn't have time to think much. She needed to find the exit in this large white mansion."Emma!"A familiar female voice came from behind Emma. Her footsteps stopped, and she slowly turned back.It
Emma lay on the bed, her blurry eyes slowly opening. The first thing she saw was the white ceiling. She blinked a few times, realizing she was being stabbed in the right wrist by a needle.Where is it?This was a room. Beside her was the standard medical equipment found in a hospital, but this was not a hospital. She could be sure of that. Emma tried to look around, but she found herself not as tired as she was in the morning. Even now, she could feel her life force being very strong.But Emma didn't care about that. She went down to the bed, wearing a white knee-length dress. It was a nightgown covered her body from shoulder to calves, making the skin on this girl's body invisible even an inch.Emma went to the door. She used her strength to push this door open, it was not locked, and it was easy to open.She looked at the corridor in front of her. She completely realized it was like a laboratory. Is it Ivan's? Did he bring her here to recuperate? But why was there not a single perso
Tomorrow morning.Emma got up very early. Inside the room is a wardrobe; inside there are many beautiful clothes, but most are home wear. They are still very new like no one has ever touched them. Emma didn't dare to mess around with other people's things, so she just opened it and quickly closed it.Seven thirty in the morning. Emma was still wearing her dress last night today, the temperature has risen, so she feels a little warmer. She stayed in her room, not knowing what to do, sitting in front of the balcony and looking outside. Opposite her room was a large lake, the surface of which slightly rippled when the wind blew across it. A little further away was a dense forest with trees the size of a ten-story city building. They grow close together, forming a gloomy green color.Since it is summer, winds will inevitably blow from time to time.Emma watched below the courtyard garden of the mansion. A few men in black suits would come in and out every half an hour. There were also thr
Emma held the little girl in her arms and comforted her. Although Carla didn't cry, Emma could see an unspeakable sadness in her words. A two-year-old child who lost his parents is pitiful. But fortunately, Carla also has Ivan, a brother who loves her dearly.Carla felt the warmth in Emma's embrace. It had been a long time since anyone had given her such warmth. Carla wants this moment to last forever.Emma's body had a fragrant jasmine scent that was both sweet and warm. Making Carla want to be near Emma, she shook the teddy bear in her arms. Then put his hand on Emma's face to wipe away the tears. Carla said."My brother said that the situation outside is very chaotic right now. The Monaco villa has been destroyed, causing him a lot of trouble. So we can't bring you back to France right now... You promised to stay here with me..."Carla raised her eyes, looking at Emma's face. She has a lovely face, so it is easy to soften others with her sweet words. On top of that, Ivan said that
