Snare of Love novel Chapter 1

Warmth slowly surrounded her from behind and water vapor condensed on her ear. “Are you scared?” Strange breaths that lingered on beside her ear made her shivered and not dared to speak. Dolores Flores sensed that the man had paused, and he continued afterwards. “It’s still not too late to regret.”

Dolores clenched her fists nervously and shook her head. “I don’t regret.” She was in the prime of her life now, yet…

The night was long and excruciating.

The man finally got up and went to the bathroom at the latter half of the night. Dolores dragged her exhausted body and walked out of the room after putting on her clothes.

At the downstairs of the hotel stood the middle-aged woman who introduced her that business. Seeing her walking out, she handed her a black plastic bag and said, “This is your reward.” Almost without any hesitation, Dolores took it over immediately. After taking the money, she sprinted out of the hotel and had even forgotten the pain she felt at her lower body part. She only wanted to reach the hospital as fast as possible.

The sky was not yet bright and the corridor was quiet. Two stretchers were placed in front of the operating room. As the fee was not paid, the casualties on the stretchers were not carried into the operating room.

Dolores’s heart ached very much when she saw that. She choked. “I have money, please save my mom and brother…” She handed the money she was holding to the doctor. The doctor took a glance at it and asked a nurse to count the sum. He then only asked the medical personnel to carry the casualties into the operating room.

Seeing them not carrying her brother inside, Dolores pounced on the doctor. She grabbed his arms and pleaded. “What about my brother? Please save him…”

The doctor sighed. “I’m sorry; it’s already too late to save him…” Too late? As if being struck by lightning, the impact made Dolores blacked out. She felt pain. It felt like someone was twisting a knife stabbed into her chest. She writhed and collapsed onto the ground.

Eight years ago, she was ten. Her father cheated with another woman and abandoned her mother. He then sent her and her mother who was pregnant that time to a foreign strange country.

Her younger brother was born afterwards and he was found to have autism when he was three. They had been living paycheck to paycheck during that time and her brother’s illness had made their life harder. She and her mother had been doing odd jobs to make ends meet, yet a car accident had made her understood how despair looked like when she lost her family in an unfriendly foreign country and without a single penny. She was forced to go against her will and sell herself, yet she was still unable to save her brother.

Not everyone who suffered pain would go hysteric. The pain would only make one feel uncomfortable and difficult to breathe, and even make one feel the sky looked gloomy, yet you have to accept the reality even with a smile, because you still have a mother who was alive, and she needed you.

After treatment, her mother had gradually recovered. Yet upon knowing her brother’s death, she had gone crazy. It was Dolores who hugged her and cried. “Mom, I’m still here, please live for me.”

During the one month period in the hospital, Jessica Lennon often stared into space at the edge of her bed. Dolores knew she had missed her brother. If it was not for her, her mother might already follow her brother to the afterworld. As she had to take care of her mother, she was expelled from school, but the good thing was her mother’s injury had healed.
