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

After this incident, Scarlett and I agreed to escape together.


After returning to normal life, we would eat together, go shopping...


As expected, Frost came looking for me soon after. I knew he wanted something from me.


I just didn't expect his ambition to be so great - he actually wanted to replace Granger!


He smiled carelessly: "Just tell me, will you help or not?"


Tomorrow, Granger will be hosting a group of "VIPs" at the nearest hotel, having booked the entire venue.


Regan told me to take advantage of the chaos tomorrow and plant the mini-bombs I had previously hidden in small toys under the floor where they'll be meeting.


Seeing the greed in his eyes, I understood.


He didn't just want Granger's life! He wanted the lives of that whole group!


Including Scarlett and me, I suspect we weren't on his list of those allowed to live either.


But perhaps we... could use the chaos to escape.
