I'm betrothed to Hylton Miller from the moment I'm born. For as long as I can remember, he protects and loves me like I'm already his wife. Even if I get a tiny splinter on my hand, he holds it carefully as he gently clips it away. That is, until the young woman his family sponsors offends a client and is about to be sent to Zubania. He drugs me with a glass of wine. When I wake up, I'm in a foreign country and trapped in an illegal factory. Here, I endure inhuman abuse, torment, even humiliation... At my lowest, when despair almost swallows me whole, that sponsored young woman appears before me in a pristine, custom-made white gown. She smiles sweetly and presses the play button on a voice recording. And from the speaker comes the voice I long for every day and night. "It's fine. Alina's the young lady of the Winslet family—they won't do anything to her. But Priscilla? She's different. Worst case, I'll make it up to Alina when she gets back…" In that moment, it feels like someone tears my heart open with their bare hands.

A few days later, Hylton came to find me. He looked much more haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. His suit was wrinkled, and all traces of his former confidence were gone.He asked to meet at a quiet café.Across the small round table, he slid a USB drive in front of me."Lina, I've avenged you." His voice was hoarse, filled with a desperate urge to prove something.I didn't touch the USB. I just looked at him silently."I made sure Priscilla suffered twice the pain she made you suffer."He lowered his head and buried his hands in his hair in anguish. "Lina, give me another chance, please? I know I was a jerk. I know I was blind… Let's start over."I almost laughed out loud."Start over?" I mused.What made him think that tormenting Priscilla could erase everything he had done to me? What made him believe that this twisted "revenge" was what I wanted?He was just using another method to satisfy his pathetic need for control and self-righteous redemption.I picke

Hylton stayed at the hospital with Robert through the night. It wasn't until the next day, when Robert's condition had stabilized a bit, that he finally left.But he didn't go home or to the company. He took the investigation tablet—detailing every bit of the suffering I had endured—and went to find Priscilla.That report didn't just cover the details of my captivity. It laid out, in even greater detail, the one who had orchestrated it all—Priscilla.She was the one who had pushed me into the living hell of Zubania.The evidence was irrefutable.When Hylton found Priscilla, she didn't seem to realize how deep in trouble she was. In fact, she even tried to approach Hylton the way she always had, with just the right touch of worry and grievance on her face."Hylton, you look terrible. Is it because of your dad—"She couldn't finish her sentence, as Hylton raised his hand and slammed the tablet on the coffee table in front of her.The glass surface cracked instantly with a sharp,

Micah Lloyd stepped forward.He was a veteran, quick and capable, and had worked for my dad for years. There was a calm yet intimidating energy about him.He walked up to the Millers, turned his body sideways before gesturing them toward the door. The motion was courteous, but his eyes left no room for refusal.The message was clear—if they didn't leave on their own, Micah and the bodyguards standing behind him would have no hesitation in "escorting" them out.Robert and Emma looked utterly defeated.Emma opened her mouth to say something, her lips trembling. But Robert grabbed her hand.He gave my parents a long look, then glanced at me. His expression was unreadable. After a moment, he turned away in resignation.Hylton was still shielding Priscilla. The handprint on his face was stark, his eyes still full of shock and unwillingness.But when he met my dad's cold gaze and looked at Micah and the several strong, expressionless bodyguards behind Micah, he didn't dare act up aga

The reception room at the villa was tastefully arranged, but the air was thick with silent tension.I sat between my parents, facing the four people on the opposite couch—Robert, Emma, Hylton, and Priscilla.Priscilla shot me a silent, provocative smile. Only now did I get it. When one truly was out of words, all they could do was laugh.We were about to discuss breaking off the engagement, and they brought Priscilla here?Robert cleared his throat, breaking the silence first. He forced a kind smile and said, "Things have gotten messy. Hylton's young, hot-tempered, and a bit impulsive. Every couple has their little fights."Emma chimed in quickly, "Yes, yes. It's all just a misunderstanding. Our friendship has been standing strong for years. It'd be a shame to ruin that over something so small."She turned to me, her gaze carrying a subtle hint of scrutiny. "Lina, dear, if you ever feel wronged, you can always talk to me. How could you just—"Before she could finish, my dad cut

"Lina, what's going on with you?" Hylton asked, furrowing his brows.I didn't answer. I simply stepped back to keep some distance between us.Hylton took a deep breath and adjusted his expression, softening his tone. "I know you got tanned in Zubania, and you're upset. Don't be mad, okay? Just com

I lay on the cold concrete floor, every inch of my body screaming in pain.The men who had just tortured me left with satisfied smiles on their faces, laughing and fastening their pants as they walked away.The air reeked of a nauseating stench, and I retched instinctively, but nothing came up.J

"What's wrong, Lina?" Priscilla lowered her gaze slightly as she felt my stare, the corners of her mouth even curled with a perfectly measured touch of shyness.She was acting as though nothing happened.Emma didn't notice the undercurrent between us and remained cheerful as she tugged at my arm.

My shirt slipped to the carpet.Under the light, my upper body was covered in shocking marks. Old and new scars intertwined. There were lash marks in varying depths and large patches of bruised, purplish skin. They looked like some grotesque totem crawling all over what used to be smooth skin.The
