Contrary to his expectations, Justin said, "What do you think this is? You bargained with me on a whim. It's also your fault for being careless. I'm not changing my mind! You became my personal servant for two years.

Laura didn't give up at that point. She still tried to reduce the two years to at least one year. "But, I also need Justin's money. How can I survive if I don't have any money? I still have to make ends meet. If -"

"I'll take care of all your needs. I'll draw up the agreement!" Justin interrupted.

Laura had no more excuses now. She had no choice but to surrender and nod her head in obedience to Justin's orders.

"Alright, I consider the problem solved, it's just a matter of signing the agreement later. Now you better eat, I know you haven't eaten and you're very hungry."

Laura immediately refused to eat. She preferred to mourn in her room. For a moment before she left, she glanced at Justin for a while and then went to the room she was in now with tears on the verge of falling.

Arriving at the door of the room, Laura went straight inside and did not forget to lock the door. Her body slumped down with tears already falling from her eyes. She didn't imagine her fate would be like this. Just because of a file that she soiled, her life was instantly changed. No! It wasn't just a file, it was a very important file.

Unconsciously, Laura became sleepy and started to close her eyes. It wasn't long before she fell asleep there with puffy eyes and very disheveled hair.

....

Laura stared at her surroundings wide-eyed. She screamed hysterically as she saw her family bound and beaten. While her body was being held down by men in suits.

"Mom! No! Stop it! Please don't!" Laura shouted hysterically.

Dor! The gunshot sounded loudly.

Laura's mother with one last smile etched on her frail face. "Laura, go away..."

Not long after, Laura's mother closed her eyes with a lot of blood flowing down her body. Laura turned to her father who was also being beaten. She wanted to approach her father but her hand was held back by the man in the black suit who was holding her. Meanwhile, a man was laughing loudly.

Dor! Once again the gunshots rang out quite loudly.

The gunshots rang out loudly and this time Laura's father was the victim. Her father looked at Laura with a look that told her to leave immediately because everything was up. Laura's brother was dead, and her brother was the first victim of all this.

Laura wanted to follow her father's words. But her hands were held back so she couldn't run away. With all the strength he had left, Laura's father kicked the man in the suit's leg with his free foot as hard as he could. When Laura was released, the girl immediately left the house that was covered in blood and corpses.

"Mom! Father!"

Laura woke up with a lot of sweat on her body. She was having a nightmare, dreaming about her dark past. Laura immediately bent her knees and hugged him. The shadows of the past continued to haunt her until now.

If she could choose her fate, she would rather go with her family at that time. Rather than being haunted by the shadows of the past that always frightened and traumatized her.

Laura closed her eyes and then opened them again. She did that many times to calm herself down. But she couldn't stop the tears from coming. Laura kept trying to stop herself from crying, but she could not. Almost every day, Laura convinced herself that it was all in the past. Yes, it was just a dark past that haunted her until now and she still couldn't forget it.

It's not that she doesn't want to, she really wants to. He really wanted to forget the dark past but always couldn't. Almost every time she slept, the past always came to her, reminding her of it all through a dream. It's as if it's all done to keep Laura from forgetting and remembering and to keep ending up in pain.

Now it was her fate that Laura cared about, her fate that was getting worse and worse. She had to be Justin's personal servant for 2 years? She had promised her parents that she could live a happy life. But it looks like that will all be blocked for the next 2 years.

Laura stepped off the bed to- wait a minute? She was on the bed? Laura just realized that. She had fallen asleep at the door last night, not on the bed. Then who had moved her? There was no way Justin was going to carry her body. Then who was it? Was it the maid at the mansion? Or was it one of Justin's fierce-looking bodyguards? Or was it a demon spirit carrying him?

Oh my! So many plausible and implausible speculations were running through Laura's brain. Laura smiled wryly, because she looked so messed up right now. Anyway, she was grateful to whoever it was who moved her. Because if not, her bones would probably be crumbling right now from sleeping in such an uncomfortable place.

Entering the bathroom, Laura looked at her appearance in the mirror. Once again she looked at her disheveled appearance. Hair was scattered around and sweat soaked her face and neck. Also the puffy eyes that turned into creepy ghost-like eyes. After seeing how messed up she looked, Laura decided to take a shower. She didn't care if she had to shower at dawn like this.
After all, she also took a warm shower.

After taking a shower, Laura couldn't sleep anymore. It was still 3:00 in the morning. So she decided to leave the room and look around the mansion. The mansion was very quiet, of course the servants were resting. When she passed a door that she was sure led to the back garden, Laura rushed to the door. She opened the door and found a beautiful and spacious swimming pool.

Laura sat beside the pool on what looked like a sofa to relax on. She gazed at the beautiful surroundings in awe. This mansion is so spacious and cool.

A sigh escaped Laura's lips. She enjoyed the breeze that hit her body. For some reason, she wanted to sleep, even though she couldn't sleep earlier. Maybe it was the cool breeze that made her want to sleep again. So she chose to sleep there again. It wouldn't be a problem, right?

Slowly her eyes closed and Laura began to fall asleep there.
