I was a purveyor of erotic goods, walking the tightrope of legality, supplying adult toys to overseas scam operations.
One day when the delivery guy called in sick, I personally made the drop-off. I woke up in a basement, trapped in a metal cage meant for poultry.
Thankfully, I had shared my real-time location with my boyfriend of many years before setting out.
My boyfriend came to save me, but I watched in horror as Granger tortured him and his team to death right before my eyes.
With his dying breath, my boyfriend whispered: "Run."
I swallowed my pride and became Granger's obedient lapdog in a remote bamboo village deep in the rainforest.
After my carefully plotted revenge failed a year later, I decided to end my life on December 28th. But on that very day, I met her.

I Was Atoning For My Boyfriend's Death When I Met Her

As night fell, the sky gradually darkened, and Scarlett had gone to wait in Granger's room early.


However, I received last-minute news that Granger wouldn't be returning to the compound tonight.


I jokingly asked the guy who usually had the best inside information.


This time, though, he looked irritated and even snarled at me not to ask questions I shouldn't.


Suspicious, I went to Granger's room to let Scarlett know not to wait up.


Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.


Seeing it was me, the hairpin in Scarlett's hand wobbled and fell to the floor.


Clutching my moderate wound, I sneered with a frown, "You've got some nerve!"


"Granger's out on business today. You'll stay in the room next to mine for now."


After escorting her back to the room, I slammed the door shut and shoved Scarlett hard, giving her a contemptuous look:


"How naive. You think you can kill Granger like this?"
