1. Used as collateral

“Damn! It hurts so much,” she complained as the tip of her index finger touched the corner of her bleeding lips. The girl winced.The wound was not only on the corner of her lips but also on several parts of her face. The girl’s hair was getting messy, her appearance was also messy. One of her hands was holding a black plastic bag.“Damn! I want to get out of this hell,” the girl said again while grumbling on the dark road to her house after buying a drink for her father. “You old Bangka. Why don’t you just die?” The girl was talking to herself, of course, because when her father was there, it was impossible to curse or curse the drunkard, or her body would be destroyed.Taking a deep breath. The girl directed her gaze forward, to the dark road that was only lit by a lamp from a distance.“My fate is really unfortunate,” the girl complained then. “I have to get away from that drunkard. How could a father be so cruel to his child? I’m sick of it!” Helga sneered and then chuckled, laugh

2. Be Mine

“Young Master is inside and waiting, come in, Miss.” The thin man knocked on the dark brown door in front of him. After hearing the answer from inside the room, the man opened the door for Helga and invited her in.Helga didn’t know what all that meant. Still confused, Helga entered the room, as soon as she passed through the door, the man immediately closed it, leaving Helga alone there.Feelings of nervousness and fear immediately gripped Helga. Her attention was only focused forward, on someone sitting on a chair. The cold gaze greeted Helga, the flat expression on his face made the girl only silent.The man rose from his seat without taking his sharp and cold gaze off Helga who could only freeze in place.“Helga Novalie?” The man spelt Helga’s name in full, making the girl swallow her saliva when she heard his voice which was so heavy and cold. “Answer!”“Yes!” Helga answered quickly then her eyes widened.The gaze was intimidating, making Helga only able to stay silent like a sta

3. Just a Substitute

The sharp eagle-like eyes stared at Helga, making the girl feel awkward. She wanted to avoid him, but Zean didn't seem like he would let her go. What made Helga most uncomfortable was that the soap foam covering her naked body disappeared. Helga hoped that Zean would just leave immediately."Clean yourself, I'll wait outside," Zean finally said while standing up straight. "Just five minutes!" After saying that, Zean got out of there, making Helga get out of the bathtub rush to clean herself and grab the towel that was there.Five minutes was not enough for Helga, no matter how fast the girl cleaned herself. It took Helga longer to get out of the bathroom and was greeted by a similar gaze from Zean. But the man approached Helga, paused for a moment and went back to circling Helga's body which was only wearing a towel. The girl gripped her towel tightly when Zean stood right behind her.Once again, Helga held her breath as Zean's breath behind her blew and touched Helga's slender should

4. Status On Paper

Helga woke up from her sleep because the dazzling sunlight disturbed her deep sleep. The girl blinked, glanced in all directions and remembered yesterday's events. The girl raised her left hand, a small diamond ring embedded in her ring finger."It wasn't a dream?" thought the girl.Removing the thick blanket covering her body, Helga got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to clean herself. After finishing her shower and changing clothes, Helga was surprised by Zean who was waiting for her beside the bed."Why are you here?" Helga asked briefly, remembering yesterday's events.Zean's gaze returned to the girl, looking at her from top to bottom. The man got up from his seat and walked past Helga, making the girl speechless in disbelief. Not long after, Zean returned with clothes in his hands."Change!" he ordered coldly.Helga just stared at the clothes in Zean's hands and looked at herself who was only wearing worn knee-length jeans with a grey shirt that was also worn.Because he d

5. Necklace

Helga touched her neck which felt sore. It turned out that Zean was not playing around with his threat. He almost killed her."He must be crazy," said Helga still touching her neck area. The girl's forehead then frowned deeply as she remembered the photo that looked familiar in her mind.But Helga was not sure.Her hand that was still on her neck area made her realize something. The necklace, the girl immediately ran towards the mirror, staring at her red neck."Where's the necklace?" asked the girl in panic.The necklace that wrapped sweetly around her neck was not the necklace that the girl had been guarding for two weeks. For some reason, Helga felt she had to keep the necklace that was entrusted to her by a strange woman two weeks ago.Helga was confused, and suddenly the girl panicked. Running to the dressing room to look for the necklace in the bag containing her belongings. Once she found the shabby bag, Helga opened it, looking for it anxiously. What if the necklace wasn't the

6. Foreign Man

Helga crawled out of bed, and the lights that turned on made her eyes close because of the glare. What surprised Helga even more was Zean, standing in the doorway of her room, then the one on the bed."Who are you?" Helga asked in fear of a man on the bed. The figure who had just touched her neck when Helga was asleep.The strange man laughed without changing his position on the bed. He even supported his head with one hand while looking at Helga."I didn't expect to find a beautiful girl in this house. I thought it was just an illusion but who would have thought it was real," said the man chuckling at Helga's reaction after realizing something was wrong. "Good defence, Miss," he said while blinking one eye.Helga froze in place, disgust spreading throughout her body making her unconsciously wipe one hand on the neck that the strange man had licked."What are you doing here?" asked Zean flatly. Both of his hands were in his pants pockets. Zean's gaze was straight ahead, piercing the s

7. Weird Dinner

Helga took a towel. Her body was shivering from the cold because of Zean’s doing. Even though she had bathed in warm water, her body still trembled, especially when she remembered the man’s rough treatment earlier.When she stepped out of the bathroom, Helga was slightly startled to find Zean sitting on the bed, his gaze fixed on her. She had thought he had already left the room.Trying to ignore him, Helga chose to step into the dressing room. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped it from the outside. Zean pushed the door open, making Helga step aside.“I’ll help you,” the man said, still as cold as always.“No need. I can—” Helga shut her mouth when she saw Zean’s sharp gaze. He was not someone who could be argued with.Zean’s large hand guided Helga to a chair in front of the dressing table, leaving her there. She sat still, unable to refuse whatever Zean was doing. Helga just clutched the towel wrapped around her body to keep it from slipping, because underneath

8. Full of Secret

After dinner, the guests began saying their goodbyes one by one. Some merely nodded at Helga, while the rest didn’t even glance at her. As if her presence was far less important than what had just been discussed at the table.Helga stood beside Zean, politely nodding to each guest who passed. Her stomach wasn’t full, and her heart and mind were still in turmoil.Once the main door closed, Helga turned to walk toward the stairs, but Zean’s voice stopped her.“Wait in the room,” he said softly, yet it didn’t sound like a request.Helga glanced briefly at him, meeting the eyes of the man who now looked much calmer than before. She nodded obediently, though her heart resisted. Then she walked upstairs, her steps light but her thoughts heavy.Once Helga disappeared behind the stairs, Zean turned to one of his friends who hadn’t left yet.The man, Ruben, leaned casually against the living room wall, arms crossed. “So, what exactly are you planning with that girl?”Zean walked slowly to the

9. Be yourself

The sunlight streaming through the gap in the curtains was enough to disturb Zean in his sleep. He moved his hand to block the rays that were quite painful to his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to the side, there was no figure who from that night onwards would share a bed with him. Just as Zean was about to scan around to find Helga’s figure, the person had already opened the door from the outside.“You're awake?” Greeted Helga who already looked neat in that dark green knee-length dress.Zean groaned. He sat on the bed while leaning against the headboard. He spontaneously closed his eyes when Helga audaciously swept aside the large window curtains, even opening the glass sliding door.“It's already noon, Young Master,” Helga welcomed, sounding sarcastic.“Is something wrong with you?” Zean asked in wonder, pushing aside his thick blanket and getting off the bed. “Yesterday, you were tame, like a frightened cat. Now, you are like a lion ready to pounce,” he continued while

10. The Forbidden Portrait

“I’m going to the office now. Never go anywhere without supervision. I haven’t agreed to that proposal about you,” Zean said after his breakfast was finished. “Tonight, I will bring one of my friends from yesterday to assess your qualifications for staying here,” he continued while rising from his seat.“Okay. No problem,” Helga replied.Zean left the dining table without Helga following him. But the girl made sure that Zean had already gone. Because Helga had made a plan today.After her breakfast was finished, Helga asked the servant to clear the table. Starting today, she would become the queen in that house.***That afternoon, the sun hung high, illuminating the entire vast yard of the luxury house where Helga now lived. After Zean left for his office in a jet-black car and a convoy of guards, the house atmosphere returned to silence. Too silent, to the point that the ticking of the clock in the living room was clearly heard.Helga stood on the upstairs balcony, staring at the ya
