Episode 3: A New Beginning
CHARLOTTE’S POV
“You’ll still pay me?” I asked, surprised.
“Yes, your only tasks are cleaning and cooking,” John replied, settling into the couch.
“Thank you so much,” I said, though the weight of my situation still pressed on me.
My mind whispered doubts. What if this is just another trick to get close to me?
I glanced at Davis, who gave me a playful grin. Despite everything, I found myself smiling back. But the unease lingered.
“I’ll show you around,” John said, standing up. As I tried to follow, my legs gave way beneath me. I wasn’t used to these heels.
“Are you okay?” John and Davis asked at the same time.
“I’m fine, just these heels,” I said, slipping them off quickly.
Both men’s eyes lingered on me, making me feel self-conscious. I could only hope this wasn’t the start of something darker.
“Here, take these,” Davis offered me a pair of slippers.
“Thanks,” I said, relieved to slip into something more comfortable.
“Let’s go,” John said, leading the way. I trailed behind, grateful for the distance between us.

But before we reached the kitchen, John stopped. “Davis, stay here. I need to talk to her privately.”
My heart raced. What could he want to say alone?
We entered the kitchen, and I couldn’t help but adjust my gown again. The neckline was too revealing for my comfort.
John glanced back just in time to catch me fidgeting.
“This is the kitchen,” he said, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he didn’t comment.
We moved on to the rest of the house, finally climbing the stairs to the upper floor.
His footsteps echoed, and I was thankful he wasn’t behind me.
“Why did you agree to it?” he asked, stopping mid-step.
“To what?” I asked, confused.
“To be in that club, with all those other girls,” he clarified, not turning around.
“I didn’t,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
We reached the top of the stairs, and he turned to face me. “You seem too... innocent for that world.”
“I didn’t have a choice,” I admitted.
JOHN’S POV
I led her to the chairs near the pool.
The evening lights reflected on the water, casting a serene glow.
“Sit,” I said, patting the chair beside me. She sat down, her gaze distant.
“You’re beautiful,” I said, breaking the silence.
Her eyes widened in surprise. “Huh?”

“I mean it. I wanted to tell you earlier, but Davis beat me to it.”
“Thank you,” she whispered, looking away shyly.
“Is that how you are? Always shy?” I teased.
She nodded, her cheeks flushing slightly. It was endearing.
“So, Charlotte, tell me your story,” I said, leaning in.
She hesitated before speaking. “My life... it's complicated.”
“I’m listening,” I said, giving her my full attention.
She took a deep breath.
“I lost my parents when I was born. My aunt took me in, but she wasn’t kind.
She made me work in a club as a cleaner from a young age. Then one day, she... sold me.”
I frowned, shocked by her words. “I’m so sorry.”
She wiped a tear from her cheek. “It’s okay. That’s how I ended up here.”
I paused for a moment, then asked, “Why do you think I bought you?”
She looked up at me, confusion in her eyes. “I don’t know. There were others—prettier than me.”
“None of them were you,” I said softly. “I saw something special in you.
You didn’t belong in that world. And honestly, you are the most beautiful.”
She blushed, her lips curving into a shy smile. “Thank you, John.”
“Now go rest. Tomorrow is a new day,” I said, standing up to walk her to her room.
As we reached her door, I added, “By the way, those slippers suit you.”
She laughed lightly, and for a moment, the weight of the world seemed to lift.
