It’s dark.
She fumbled her way to the door.
Turning the lock, she realized that the door was locked from the outside.
Fear and anxiety surged into her heart as she shouted, “Hello? Is there anyone around? Where is this? Why are you keeping me here?”
She smacked the door hard, but she received no responses.
After Jenny and her left the café, she was kidnapped by people in a van. She lost consciousness after that.
When she woke again, she was already in this foreign place. Am I kidnapped?
Hera fearfully curled into herself as she fell to the ground.
I’m just a poor, powerless, and unloved daughter from the Chapman family. Why did they kidnap me? What is their motive?
Right then, the lights in the room turned on.
Then, the metal door unlocked.
A man in black stepped into the room.
There was a pill in his hand, and it looked familiar.
It looks like... The aphrodisiac I bought from the black market!
She hastily moved backward to put a distance between the man and her, then shrieked, “What are you trying to do?”
“Giving you some medicine.” The man’s voice was hoarse.
His face was veiled, and Hera could not see his features clearly.
“No! I don’t want it!” Hera screamed as she ran toward the door in an attempt to escape.
Unfortunately for her, the man was prepared. He grabbed her arm and pinned her against the wall. Then, he pried open her mouth and forced the pill down her throat.
“No! It’ll-” Hera sobbed.
She struggled and tried to spit the pill back out.
However, the man took out a bottle of water and forced her to drink it.
Unable to resist him, she drank mouthfuls of the water.
Even if she wanted to spit the pill out, it was impossible now.
Once he was done, the man flung her off him and threw her onto the ground.
He handled her the same way one would handle a rag.
Hera sprawled on the ground, disheveled. Her clothes were wrinkled, and her hair was in a mess. In her struggle earlier, the water had spilled down the front of her shirt, and now it was sticking to her skin.
Tears escaped her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.
