Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Esther looked at the rough mountain roads and started remembering stories she had read in .

These stories were about a young woman who was taken away and forced to marry an older man in a remote mountain village. She had a child with him and then was locked in with the pigs. The sad story made Esther feel very scared.

She worried that the sthing might be happening to her.

The man chuckled when he noticed her shaking. "Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." But his words only made Esther feel more anxious. She knew she was completely at their mercy. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She couldn't escape alone, so she hoped her friends, especially Pearl, would find her soon. She also really missed James at that moment.

She also regretted not staying close to Pearl. If Pearl had gone with her to the restroom, she might not have ended up in this situation.

The van kept going and finally entered a small, isolated village after driving for about five or six hours. It was dawn by then. When they arrived, they took Esther into the village as the sun was coming up. Eventually, they stopped at a house. The man picked Esther up with one arm, since her hands and feet were tied, and carried her into a room.

"Ah!" Esther accidentally hit her head on a doorfrbecause he wasn't being careful, which made her feel dizzy.

Then, she was thrown onto a dirty, cluttered bed with two other young women. She realized she wasn't the only one who had been taken. The other two also seemed to be college students, looking scared and younger than her. One of them started crying. "Please letgo. I'm rich and have a lot of money. I can pay you guys." "Be quiet!" an older woman snapped at her.

Esther looked over and saw the woman, who was probably in her sixties or seventies, looking very strict. "You can't choose what happens to you now that you're here," the woman said with a scary laugh.

That crying woman fell silent, and the older woman nodded, seemingly pleased.

"Soon, men will cto choose their brides from among et you. Don't refuse them, or it will be worse for you," she warned S Esther felt even more afraid.

But the two women beside her were even more panicked. One tried to jump out of bed and run, but she couldn't get far because she was tied up. A gruff-looking man by the door kicked her back down.
