"Argh!"
An empty bucket was thrown at the thin body of a beautiful girl named Samantha Wallach. Her entire body was drenched in mopping water that smelled bad and dusty, and the dust had turned into mud that pooled at the bottom of the bucket. Samantha's neat appearance had turned ugly, and several other employees were watching her mistreatment. They stared at Samantha with pity, while the others seemed satisfied with what Samantha was getting from their employer, Carol White.
"Why hasn't any of your work been completed at all? Why are the garments consumers are still selecting being cleaned up and placed back into the display case on purpose?" a gorgeous-looking woman with long, slightly wavy, reddish-colored hair that looked beautiful. She shouted at Samantha.
Carol White glared at Samantha with her fists clenched, ready to give the servant girl a swift beating. "Because of your behavior, my customers might think that they can't afford to buy clothes in this shop! You know what?! Because of you, I almost lost a customer, and lost money! You bitch! Why don't you just die like your father!" Carol White kicks Samantha in the stomach with so much force that she almost spits out her guts
Samantha Wallach's simple mistake was to clean up the clothes that a customer had carelessly picked up, the customer didn't look like they wanted to buy, they just looked, put and some of the clothes they picked up from the window were even thrown as if they were cheap items that could be bought in an unbranded clothing store.
Samantha never thought that what she was doing was wrong, she didn't want the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of clothes to be ruined by customers that they had just met coming into the store that day. However, what she did was wrong, Carol White, her employer, thought otherwise, and what Samantha had done had angered Carol.
"Forgive me, madam. I didn't mean it like that, I-"
Carol kicked Samantha's leg a few more times just because Samantha said something back. Although it was an apology, it made Carol even angrier, and she continued to vent her frustration by being rude to Samantha.
"Don't you remember how much debt you and your father had accumulated? The whole amount is 1.5 million dollars! You need to act like a decent human being here to pay your debts!" Carol White cursed with her legs still kicking, ignoring Samantha's screams.
Samantha deliberately kept her mouth shut to prevent any sound from escaping and further infuriating the hostess of the house where she worked. However, it's not that Samantha doesn't feel pain every time she's kicked. It's just that she tries not to make a loud noise and be seen as insubordinate.
Carol, who was still unsatisfied, continued kicking while bringing up Samantha's debt. "You must remember that with that much debt, it will take you at least half of your life to repay it by working for me!"
Samantha was holding back the scream because of the pain she was experiencing, but Carol, who didn't like what she saw, Carol grabbed Samantha's right hand and pulled it away from her. Samantha tried to apologize quietly, but Carol ignored her and stepped on Samantha's palm with the heel of her shoe.
Samantha screamed in her heart, her mouth locked, because if she uttered a single word, Carol would be even more cruel to her. Her body shivering with pain, she was sure that all of Carol's kicks and rough treatment would leave bruises that would not disappear in two or three days.
But what could Samantha do? Fight back? Of course, she wouldn't be able to do that. Carol White finally stopped when one last kick hit Samantha in the ribs and left the young woman curled up in a ball, sobbing silently.
Carol was struggling for air and turned to Samantha with pleasure. Samantha had nearly damaged the shop's reputation among clients, and she had had enough of torturing her. "You should be grateful that I spared your life. Therefore, work hard to pay off the debts that continue to mount each year."
Before speaking to Samantha, who was still crouching on the ground, Carol White took a long breath to regain control of her emotions. She then took time to adjust her outfit. "I'm still generous enough to hire you here and feed you well, so work hard, take care of the house, and shop as you should to pay off your huge debts. Otherwise, I'll keep beating you. Do you comprehend? Samantha nodded in response to Carol White's question, and then Carol eventually turned around and left Samantha trembling on the ground.
Trembling with pain and tears streaming down her face, Samantha felt her calves ache, the bones in her legs were about to break, and her skin was chafing under her trousers. Likewise, the skin on her palms was peeling off after being stepped on by Carol earlier.
Even though Carol mistreated Samantha, no one tried to help her. They were all too scared of Carol White and decided to do nothing but ignore Samantha. Samantha wasn't surprised by what was happening to her now, the same treatment she had been getting for the past few years became even worse after Carol White totaled up her late father's debts which were growing yearly. Samantha couldn't rebel, she just wished she could get up before a customer came in and saw her in that horrible appearance that would get her into even more trouble.
With both legs aching from being kicked and trampled by Carol White, Samantha tried to walk away from the backyard, carrying the bucket that had been thrown, and the dirty water splashed on her.
There was no more complaining, it was all too familiar for Samantha, it was as if she no longer had any self-respect, not even crying over herself. She was just a servant and a maid, she deserved this kind of treatment from her employer.
Arriving at the locker room, Samantha immediately took off her wet clothes, her whole body felt very painful, there were a lot of bruises and abrasions left on her body, and all the wounds looked very new, which meant Samantha received all the bad treatment from Carol White many times without stopping.
"A-ah!"
Samantha's scream was caught in her throat when her injured palm accidentally touched the hem of the garment she was opening. It was so painful that it made her thin hand tremble with a stinging sensation that traveled to her shoulder.
Samantha tried her best to endure the pain as she threw her dirty clothes on the floor and walked towards the shower room to clean herself from the dirt and mud stuck in her hair.
But every drop of shower water that touched her skin was so painful and horrible for Samantha that she couldn't even stand up and chose to curl up on her knees, leaning against the wall and letting the water pour down on her head relentlessly. Letting all the dust, dirt, and tears flow down the drain, taking away the sadness and pain she gets almost every day.
Samantha strolled out of the shower to her locker. With a small towel, Samantha wrapped herself up to retrieve her clean clothes from her locker.With the pain radiating throughout her body, Samantha desperately wanted to go home and lie on the bed so that, although not soft and comfortable, she could lie down and get rid of the pain, even if it was only for a moment in sleep. But then she realized she still had to work until eight o'clock tonight.After changing her clothes, treating her wounds with the ointment she had on hand as well as tidying up her appearance, Samantha walked back into the shop, hoping that she wouldn't get into any more trouble with customers as she had earlier because if she didn't, then Carol White would get even angrier at her.However, while Samantha was walking into the store, she accidentally bumped into a man walking backward while chatting with his partner. They collided, making Samantha wince in pain when the man's back accidentally hit her hand. Saman
White & CO is a fashion house owned by Carol White, a very talented fashion designer who made White & CO very famous in the country for the last twenty years and has always been the number one fashion house sought after by fashion activists and has become customer—world celebrity. Not everyone can become a member of this famous fashion house because, apart from the goods they produce being made by hand and in limited forms, the price that must be paid by those who want to become a member of the White & CO fashion house is not tiny. Only thirty-four thousand dollars to register as an exclusive member there and access is not open to everyone, only people who are considered influential and able to raise the name White & CO can get access to become an exclusive member there. At the same time, the rest will only get ordinary members with access, which is also expected. And today, Ananas Stein came to White & CO to buy some clothes for a meeting that was held in a few days, but Ananas' int
Tristan just woke up after Ananas gave him sleeping pills last night. If it wasn't for Ananas, maybe even now Tristan wouldn't have been able to sleep because his heart is a bit longer than he expected.After the incident with Adelia Dauntless, Tristan's heat got worse, making him even more unable to control himself. He almost injured the maids at his house several times because of it. Even since that day, Tristan hadn't eaten anything at all, he was accidentally locked up by Ananas when he was caught nearly killing a servant delivering food for him.If you count it, maybe it's been fourteen days since he was locked in the room by Ananas without food and drink. Only injections and special drugs called suppressants were given to him to calm himself from the heat.Tristan tried to get up because he had successfully spent fourteen days and even lived without a partner. He walked towards the window and opened it. Down there, he saw some gardeners cleaning the yard and tidying up the trees
After bringing Tristan some food and watching the servants clean up his ruined room, Tristan, who felt uncomfortable staying in the room being cleaned, chose to leave the room to calm his mind. He had been baffled for several days, locked in the room on the orders of Ananas, his sister."Where are you going?" asked Delaltrik to Tristan, who walked past him."To get some fresh air, I'm going to go crazy if I stay inside like this," Tristan replied as he continued to walk past Delaltrik.Being cooped up in a room with nothing to do with a very annoying heat cycle would make anyone feel very out of sorts, and getting some fresh air was all Tristan had to do to stay sane. Even though Ananas ordered him to keep a close eye on Tristan and not let him out of the room, taking a short walk to the backyard wouldn't bother anyone. After all, Tristan's heat phase was already over.It was just that although Delaltrik thought it was okay to let Tristan wander around, there was a feeling in his hear
"You what?" Tristan questioned his sister's wishes, which sounded very strange."I'm going to introduce you to a few omegas, and if you get imprinted with one of them, then it will be easy for us to introduce your Mate to the Dauntless family.""Are you out of your mind? I can't even smell the pheromones of any omega, and now you're even saying you want to set me up with some omega? It's the same as killing me!" Tristan protested Ananas' desire.Ananas, who had finished taking Tristan's blood sample, stared at the blood for a while. The pure blood of a young wolf, now their Alpha, looked shining. There was a glint of light that he had never seen from any blood of their race."You have to want to. Because if you refuse, I don't know how to help you get through the next heat phase.""Aren't there suppressants and inhibitors?"Ananas smiled and then put the blood sample into a cooler the nurse had also brought. "Inhibitors or Suppressants are no longer helpful for you. Your body has reje
Meanwhile, at the White & CO boutique, Samantha, who had just closed the last curtain of the shop, winced in pain when her wound started bleeding again. The store was tranquil, even Carol White was no longer there, and she was alone. When it opened the next day, she was asked to clean and mop the entire boutique so it was clean and tidy again.Samantha's palms felt numb as the pain intensified when she accidentally spilled glass cleaner on her hand. It hurts and feels like it's being cut, especially when the wound is exposed to water, so it makes Samantha want to let go of her hand so she would no longer feel the pain, but how could she possibly do that?After cleaning all the glass in the store, mopping the entire floor, and cleaning Carol's room, Samantha decided to head to the locker room. He tried to open the bandage Ananas Stein had put on him that afternoon. Still, she remembered that she didn't have a chance to apply to dress the wound. Because of that, Samantha discouraged he
"Sorry, what do you mean, sir?" Samantha asked, as if she couldn't understand what she had just heard. "Ananas wants you to give her the bag and explain all the functions and whatnot. I don't understand what she wants, but she asked me to take you to her and treat your wound. The blood keeps seeping out of it." Tristan pointed to Samantha's palm, which, without realizing the blood coming from the wound on her palm, was indeed bleeding, and the bandage he had changed earlier in the morning had turned red. "Um, sorry... I'll change the bandage, and please don't give our boutique a bad review, sir." Samantha tried to hide her hand from Tristan. But still, Samantha couldn't hide her bleeding wound. Seeing Samantha's frightened behaviour because of a wound, Tristan sighed deeply. Then he said, "It's better to answer now because I also still have a job, and I don't have time to wait longer here." Tristan said. Hearing that, Samantha, who was not told to go with Tristan to meet Ananas Ste
TabTristan had just lit a cigarette in the backyard of his big manor. His father left the mansion and now lives with several other wolves, including his uncle Douglas, who is mostly out taking care of their other businesses.Before becoming Alpha in the Pack, Tristan was the leader of a subsidiary of a company owned by his family in Haldabera City, a wine-producing city. After his father died and he became the Alpha in the Pack, Tristan was not asked by any teachers. Even now, his other uncle, Vaskal, manages the wine processing factory.Vaskal is his eldest uncle. In the mechanism of the succession to the throne, Vaskal had to be the most influential and most valued person and the most powerful wolf in the Pack. He could become the next leader after his father's death, but his father instead gave the throne to him. A throne that he doesn't even know how to use.And because of that decision, now their Pack is looked down upon by all the house wolves. Of course, it is very worrying, as
