A car traveling at fast speeds collided with the concrete road, tripping into potholes. The sky was black, and the driver used the car's light to guide himself towards where he was heading to.
Behind the car seat was a sixteen-year-old girl with her eyes closed as if sleeping, completely unconscious of her surroundings.
An elderly man in his late fifties sat beside the young girl, staring at her with an immersed smile on his face.
Lilith's head sways from one side to the other as the car moves, causing the elderly guy to smile amusingly.
"She's fresh," the old man muttered, moistening his lips as a pervert would.
He was captivated by Lilith's beauty, and the fact that he had purchased her as a virgin delighted him even further.
As he stretched his hands, he reached for a strand of Lilith's hair that had fallen over her face.
Placing the strand of hair behind Lilith's ear, Mr Felix's mind began to wander over all of the things he intended to do to Lilith.
He was buried in his thoughts when Lilith's eyes began to gently open.
She fluttered her long lashes before deciding to properly open her eyes and take in her surroundings.
Lilith recognised she was in a car based on how fast it was driving.
The question on her mind was, 'Why am I here?' She asked herself, but the answer was well out of reach.
She sensed someone's sharp gaze beside her, which drove her to be on high alert.
"My love." Mr Felix began after discovering Lilith was completely awake. "How was your sleep?" He proceeded to question her.
Lilith, who hadn't recuperated herself, began to recall the occurrence that was transparent some hours ago.
She could recollect being with her aunt and uncle when their visitor, Mr Felix, announced that he wanted to marry her.
Lilith, on the other hand, could recall how distraught she was when she heard Mr Felix's statement, and how she choked on her spit, prompting Aunt Kathy to pass her a glass of water.
"Argh!" Lilith immediately yelled at the top of her lungs, terror grabbing her as she realized that the water supplied to her by her Aunt was the sole cause of her unexpected collapse.
"Arrrgh!" Lilith's scream was heard once more as she drew her finger deep into her hair.
Mr Felix's face was immediately covered with a scroll as he stared at her. "What is all this shouting about?" He asked, his brows raised skyward, and his tone revealed how ticked off he was right now.
Lilith quickly switched her gaze to stare at Mr Felix.
She had tried to remain collected, but she couldn't stop herself, so she grabbed Mr Felix's shirt in one rapid motion, and because she aimed incorrectly, her hands landed above his stomach. "You!" She exclaimed, clenching her hand into a ball and sneering at him.
Lilith did not back down, glaring at Mr Felix with a harsh stare even though she could not see him. "You have no right to get married to me without my consent and you hav..."
Before Lilith could finish her statement, the muscular hand of a young man landed above her neck with full force, causing her to collapse on the spot.
Mr Felix smiled as he gave a thumbs up to his security, who had reached out from the front seat and hit Lilith.
"Sir, wouldn't it be wise to restrain her?" The bodyguard's voice cut through the silence from the front seat, his tone carrying an edge of urgency. "This girl has a spirit that will not easily break. Perhaps with her hands bound, she will become more compliant."
The suggestion planted a seed of contemplation in Mr. Felix's mind.
He pondered in silence, his eyes drifting towards the road ahead, weighing the merits of the bodyguard's recommendation.
Finally, he gave a nod, confirming his decision. "Once we reach the house, you are to tie her hands," he said, the words chilling in their precision.
A malevolent grin spread across his face, betraying the sinister intentions hidden beneath his collected facade.
Nonetheless, the car trip continued as it traveled along the darkened road.
After half an hour had passed, the vehicle pulled up beside an old mansion painted gray.
Mr Felix didn't bother giving his bodyguard an order because he was confident that they knew what to do.
One of the bodyguards quickly opened the passenger seat and carried Lilith on his body towards the mansion, where he placed her on Mr Felix's bed.

Lilith smiled as she snuggled into the comfortable mattress beneath her body, trying to recall positive memories from her past.
She recalled all of the fantastic times she'd had with her best friend Morgana Jackson, the only girl who genuinely liked Lilith, and they'd been friends since childhood.
Lilith's eyes remained closed as she recalled the past, but soon... she felt the rough fingers of someone brushing her cheeks.
Lilith immediately shut her enormous eyes wide open and sniffed in, trying to smell her surroundings to determine whether or not they were familiar.
Lilith frowns after sniffing her surroundings. She could tell this wasn't her basement, and the room she was currently in didn't belong to someone she was close to.
She had no idea how long she had been sleeping, but she did know that her eyelids had been closed for quite some time now.
Lilith felt an unsettling look from the edge of the bed and clenched her teeth as she attempted to rise up from the bed but ended up being stocked.
She struggled against the bonds that fastened her wrists to opposite ends of the bed.
Her legs, thankfully, were free, but her furious attempts to yank her hands-free only resulted in the coarse rope digging painfully into her skin. "Let me go, you filthy scumbag!" Lilith bellowed, her voice piercing the air with a mix of fear and defiance.
Mr. Felix's lips curled into a sinister grin. "My dear, blind love," he crooned, his voice smooth as velvet.
Lowering himself to Lilith's level, he rested his hand beneath her chin, forcing her gaze to meet his.
She trembled, attempting to shake off his touch, but her movements were futile, his grip unrelenting.
Lilith's face contorted into a snarl, her teeth clenched with defiance. "What do you want?" she hissed.
Mr. Felix's lips stretched into a lecherous smile, his yellowed teeth on full display. "I've already purchased you, Lilith. You are the one I want," he said, his amusement tinged with arrogance. "You will learn to be a good wife for me, my love."
Lilith's flesh prickled at his words, her body and mind rejecting the twisted reality he was trying to impose upon her. "You cannot buy me," she replied, her voice laced with icy indignation. "I am not a mere commodity to be bartered or bought."
The disgust and fear boiled within her, fueling her struggle against the ropes that held her captive. But despite her valiant efforts, she remained tethered to the bed, her freedom only a distant dream.
"Hahahaha!"
Mr Felix's menacing chuckle echoed throughout the room. "You aren't a commodity." He muttered, pausing for a moment to view the fragile little child on the bed. "I don't just buy commodities, sweetheart. I buy humans, too." He added.
Lilith immediately stopped trying to find an escape route as the man's words sank into her mind.
She shook her head sideways, refusing to trust the man's statement. "My Aunt and uncle can't sell me," Lilith mumbled to herself as she tried to persuade herself to believe something that was not true.
'Is this why they sought to communicate in secret?' She secretly questioned herself, but she was too afraid to answer her damn question.
Lilith was afraid to believe Mr Felix's statement, and Mr Felix was happy to see Lilith's bewildered countenance.
He climbed onto the bed on four, trapped Lilith with his hands, and did not give her enough time to think properly.
Lilith, who had been panicking for a while, suddenly screamed as she realized she had been confined by Mr Felix. "Wh... what do you want from me?" She cried loudly.
Mr Felix smirked. "I want your virginity," he whispered, the words rasping against her eardrum like the caress of a spider's leg.
Lilith could feel the heat of his breath as he leaned in closer to kiss her, the faint aroma of his cologne, and the gnawing fear that rose from the pit of her stomach.
He was disgusting!
"I'll try to be gentle, okay." He whispered, but then Lilith did something unexpected.
