The bed in the room wasn’t the usual type Rachel Wood had seen before. It was the kind of brick bed that could only be seen in books and television dramas.
The bed was so cold that it made Rachel feel even chillier upon laying on it.
She struggled again, but it didn’t help.
She began to cry silently, knowing she was doomed.
She was about to be violated.
Sebastian Brenand’s parents were going to strip Rachel of her pride and everything along with it.
She would end up like other girls who were kidnapped and sold to places like this.
No! She didn’t want this!
‘Sebastian, where are you? Sebastian!’ Rachel thought frantically.
Then, the three younger men left the room, leaving behind the old man in his eighties.
He didn’t untie her. Instead, he began touching her all over.
He became even more excited as Rachel cried and shook her head.
She wanted to kill him, but she couldn’t.
After the old man finished, the others came in one after another to take their turn.
Rachel truly was going mad, the strong feeling of shame making her want to bite her tongue to kill herself.
However, her mouth was gagged, and she couldn’t do it even if she wanted to.
She secretly made up her mind that she would escape if only to get away from this hellish place.
She couldn’t wait around and not do anything!
***
In the months to come, Sebastian searched high and low for Rachel only to fail at every turn.
Those heart-warming memories from the past appeared particularly delightful in his dreams.
The dreams were so pleasant that he didn’t want to wake up.
On the many nights that he realized he was only dreaming, he would keep his eyes closed and try to resume his dreams.
If it was possible, Sebastian wished he could live in his dreams forever.
He walked over to the couch and sank down weakly, picking up a bottle of red wine from the coffee table that was littered with various other alcohol on it.
He started drinking straight from the bottle, but it didn't bring any relief at all.
The more he drank, the more bitter he felt, further adding to his depression.
Sebastian suddenly burst into tears as he drank. All the emotional turmoil he had been suppressing came to the fore at that moment like a volcanic eruption.
He tossed the bottle against the ground the moment he drained it.
At that moment, the floor he had just cleaned became a mess again.
