"Well," a deep voice came from the doorway.
Aurora looked up as a man wearing a bronze mask slowly walked in. His eyes, visible behind the mask, glinted with a dark light—wicked and cold. He exuded a malevolent aura that sent a chill down everyone's spine.
A mask?
Aurora and Abigail exchanged a look.
"Mr. Vesper, these are the new girls I've brought for you." Gina smiled fawningly at the man. "There were originally five virgins, but one of them didn't know her place, so I didn't bring her for your inspection."
"Is that so?"
His gaze swept over the terrified girls in front of him. Each of them felt a chill run down her back, her palms turning inexplicably cold.
His eyes paused on Aurora's face for two seconds before moving on nonchalantly.
Aurora's heart skipped a beat.
Was it her imagination?
It seemed like that man had looked at her for a moment longer than the others.
"Not bad," the man said in a languid tone, his thin lips curving slightly upward. "Are they all here willingly?"
"Of course, of course!" Gina said obsequiously. "I know your rules, Mr. Vesper."
The masked man nodded, his gaze shifting back to the girls. His voice was low.
"Are you all here of your own free will?"
The girls looked at each other, stunned. They had been kidnapped. How could they possibly be here willingly?
"I'll give you one more chance," the man said again, his voice still enthralling. "I don't force women here."
This was their chance!
A spark of excitement lit up in the girls' eyes. Maybe this man didn't know how they'd gotten here and would let them go!
Abigail's heart pounded, and just as she was about to step forward and speak, someone tugged on her sleeve.
Surprised, Abigail turned to see the grave look in Aurora's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Aurora frowned and slowly shook her head, signaling for Abigail not to do anything rash.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
