I wake up feeling lighthearted and refreshed. The thick fluffy carpet offered me a good sleep. I was stretching my muscles when I felt someone is heated gaze on me. I turned my head to see a man sitting on the couch.

He looked at me with desire in his eyes and a goofy smile on his face. He examined me from head to toe. His actions made me uncomfortable, so I activated my defense mode and grabbed the knife from under my cushion.

"Do not worry, sweetheart; I am g@y and I am not interested in women 'THAT WAY'. I am just checking out...and you are stunning, darling. Take this and change over there, but please do not touch anything," the man instructed me, defensively showing me his palms. He handed me a white bag with an expensive brand name and pointed with his index finger towards the small bathroom.

I looked inside the bag, which contained a simple knee-length sky-blue dress and another woman's essentials.

I scanned the room, but I could not find the man from last night anywhere. I followed the man's instructions and saunter towards the bathroom to change into the blue dress. I combed my hair neatly and created a braid.

As I strode out of the bathroom, I noticed the room was empty. I stepped out of the room, and the entire suite appeared to be empty. Not a single trace of that man or his bodyguard.

It was an excellent opportunity for me to make a move and flee here. With this in mind, I tiptoed toward the main door.

* Bang!!!!
* Bang!!!!
* Bang!!!!

Three bullets passed by me, each hitting a different target. The first hit near my feet, the second passed between my legs and hit a vase on the floor, making a loud noise of glass shattering, and the third passed beside my left ear and struck the main door.

My face turned pale as paper from fear, and I was glued to the spot, unable to think of what to do next.

"*chuckle* I am told to shoot you on the spot if you try to flee, but take it as a warning-Now, come and eat something before leaving.We have a long way to go," the man extended an offer to me and walked toward the dining table. His voice was unaffected and uninteresting.

He placed his gun back in his waistband and motioned for me to take a seat. I was compelled by his wishes as a good girl.

"oh!! Let me give you a proper introduction, darling. My name is Daniel, and I am Master... I mean Mr. King is third in command. And from now on, you are under my surveillance," he acknowledged me and took the seat next to me. I was listening to him intently while stuffing myself with pasta, bread, and an omelet.

I did not know how long I would have to wait for my next meal, so I am currently eating until I am full.

"And...you looked stunning in this blue dress. Master told me to grab anything, but I have a keen eye for women's necessities, you know," he went on to compliment me and winked, to which I responded with a single fake smile and suppressed the urge to roll my eyes.

The man 'Daniel' was friendly and tried to engage me in small talk, but I was terrified from the previous event, so I just nodded in response.

A few moments later, he stuffed me into a car and drove me to an unknown destination. Hours later, he arrived at what appeared to be a port where we could board a cruise ship.

The cruise was extravagant and luxurious, and it left me speechless, but Daniel pushed me inside and dragged me in a certain direction.

He took me inside a simple chamber. This cottage only allows for a single bed, a few additional items, and a lavatory. Strangely, there are no windows or other forms of ventilation in the chamber.

I was observing my surroundings when I heard an unexpected clicking sound from behind. I looked around and noticed Daniel was not present, and the door was closed.

"Hey! Hey!! Open the door, please!," I banged on the door and asked for Daniel, but he seemed deaf to my request. I twisted the doorknob a few times in an attempt to open the door, but it did not work.

Once again, I was at square one, with no idea what lay ahead of me.

Three days later, Daniel stepped into my chamber, and the door finally opened. I felt weak and depleted of energy after not eating for three days.

"Eat this and collect yourself. We arrived at our destination," he said, handing over a bag of food. I glared at him angrily, but I still grabbed the food bag from him and began eating it.

At first, I opened the juice bottle to quench my thirst. The sweet liquid gave me new life, and now I am taking care of my growling stomach.

I struggled to the door and walked out of the room. I discovered a pair of bodyguards standing outside. They motioned for me to follow, and I took their lead.

I noticed a lot of men and women like me descending from the cruise. The guards nudged me to join them, and I merged into the crowd.

We all walked towards a building while being watched by several guards. A moment later, the image of a majestic red building appeared.

The structure resembled a hostel and was located along the shore. The white sand and the stunning sunset tugged at my heartstrings, making me forget about my fatigue for a brief moment.

But then something caught my eye, and the happiness I was feeling vanished in thin air. ' Training Center' was written in bold and italic letters across the building.

What is it?...a trap. I could not help but question myself.
