C6 Where are they taking me to?

Lilith POV

I was pushed into a particular room in the Vipers' mansion by two muscular men.

I didn't protest but allowed the wickedness of the world to descend on me; besides, what could a Dan girl like me do? a cheap peasant that was sold!

I dragged my bare feet across the marble floor of the small room.

I look around the surrounding area to see which type of cage I have been pushed into.

A small room that had a small bed placed in the corner and a small wardrobe.

The room had only one large window that was located a few meters from the bed.

There is nothing fancy about the room; in fact, if not for the beautiful interior it had, there would have been no difference between this room and the one in my home.

Speaking about my home causes a pain to flash across my mind. I have been holding back the urge to cry for a long time now.

I found my way to the edge of the bed and sat down, allowing the tears to pour down freely.

"How did I end up here?" "I was having a promising life with Jason." I sniff as the liquid of my cartwheel threatens to sip down from my nose.

"I'm sure he might have been forced to do this to me, but what about my mother?" "Was she part of this evil plan from the beginning?" I shake my long, unkempt brown hair, which was already sticking in my face because of my tears.

"I need to meet them and ask my questions; I want to hear their side of the story; how could I be sold for just a million?" "Am I that worthless?"

"But will I be able to?" "I guess I need to plan my escape." I mumbled as I felt a ray of hope.

"CRACK!" I flinched in fear when I heard the sound of the room door opening.

A lady wearing a skimpy black gown walked inside. Her French pink hair was dangling along with the spiral earrings she wore.

Her catwalking steps halted in front of me with a smile plastered on her face.

I stared at her without saying a word; her presence brought an unknown fear, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Hey newbie, I'm Flora Vipers; welcome to the family." She introduced herself in a gentle tone.

"Huh—vipers?" "Can I ask a question?" I proposed.

She walked quietly towards a small sofa that I haven't even taken note of; she sat down on it with her legs crossed together.

"Ask!"Her tone was commanding and distant, unlike the gentle tone she used earlier ago, making me wonder if she is a chameleon.

"How long have you been here?" I ask.

She stared into space for awhile, causing the atmosphere to go dead silent, before her answer finally came.

"Since I was little, I was sold into the vipers organization."

"And you didn't bother to escape?" I asked in surprise, "Who will love to be a slave for a long time?"

"Escape? Ha-ha!" She flapped her short hair backwards while she let out a short laugh before her face turned serious again.

"I will advise you not to dare; it will only make your life more miserable," she said, standing up.

"An emergency came up today, and the boss has instructed me to take you with me somewhere."

"You will get food and an outfit soon; get ready, miss Lilith Vipers." She spoke and hurried out of the room, leaving me stunned to the core.

It hasn't even been 24 hours since I was here, and yet they want to send me somewhere? But where and why at this ungodly hour?

It's past 11 p.m. and she is talking about going out? I thought it was only vampires in fantasy books that walked at night.

"Goddess! Who exactly are these people? Wait a second, she called me a viper? not Peters! "Am I a viper?" The sound of it made me cringe in fear.

A FEW MINUTES LATER..

A plate of fried rice and beef, along with a cup of water, was pushed into the room for me before it shut.

I ran to pick it up and then sat down on the floor to eat. I don't care where the food came from or whether it is poisonous or not.

Besides, I was extremely hungry. i devoured the food like a lion before gulping the water down my throat.

However, the door opened in no time, and two women entered, carrying a grave face and a nylon bag in their hands.

Without any warning, one of them grabbed me from the floor and dragged me towards the bathroom.

"Who are you?" "Let me go!" I yelled at them, but my screams fell on deaf ears, and their grip tightened.

They rough-handled me in the bathroom, pulling my clothes fiercely before bathing me. I tried to protest, but I only got a series of slaps, making me go numb and tired.

After the bathing section, they sat me down on the dressing table. They began to style my hair into a bun. Behind my head before, I was forced to wear a black bra, black pants, and a net gown, leaving my body half exposed.

I gripped my chest, trying to cover my breasts that were exposed to the naked eyes.

Before I could think of anything else, a blindfold was tied around my eyes again and my hands were chained with handcuffs, and I felt my body rise from the stool by the hands of the women, then I felt my bare feet cleaning the floor as I was dragged away. "Where are they taking me to?!"
