What Is Life?

Third Person

Flashback - 2 years ago

Miracle's eyes fluttered open, her mind foggy and her head throbbing. She was met with an unfamiliar ceiling, and her confusion deepened. Where was she? How did she get here? She tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through her head, making her wince.

As she slowly sat up, her gaze fell upon a figure standing in the shadows. His presence was imposing, his eyes gleaming with a sinister intensity that made her heart race. Miracle's eyes locked onto his, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Who are you?" Miracle asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She pulled back, her eyes fixed on the stranger.

The man's smile grew wider, his eyes gleaming with a sadistic pleasure. He revelled in the fear that radiated from her, his gaze drinking in her terror like a parched man quenching his thirst.

"I am Viktor Petrov," he said, his voice low and menacing. "And you, my dear, will fulfill your service to my family."

Miracle's confusion turned to fear as Viktor's gaze seemed to bore into her soul. "What do you mean?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Viktor's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with a cruel delight. "I brought you to gift to my son for his 27th birthday. You will be my son's . You will do his bidding, follow him wherever he goes, and see to all his needs. You will be at his beck and call, his loyal companion... his plaything. Refuse, and I'll make you one of my top sex workers. You'll learn to obey, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Miracle's eyes widened in horror as Viktor's words hung in the air like a threat. She tried to scramble back, but her legs felt heavy, her body trembling with fear. The room seemed to close in around her, and she felt trapped, helpless.

Miracle shook her head, her voice trembling. "No, no, no! I'm not doing that! I'm not doing any of that! You creep!"

Viktor's patience snapped, and he grabbed her by the neck, his grip violent. "You. Will. Do. As. I. Fucking. Say. Or die!" he snarled, his eyes blazing with fury.

Miracle's eyes widened in terror as she struggled to break free. Just as Viktor's grip tightened, a voice intervened.

"Mr. Petrov, please!" Miracle's mother rushed forward, her eyes pleading. "Let me talk to her. I'll make sure she understands her... obligations."

Viktor's grip on Miracle's neck tightened, his eyes glinting with malice. "Very well," he growled, his voice dripping with condescension. "But if she refuses to comply, the consequences will be... severe."

Miracle's mother rushed by her side, her face pale with fear. "My beautiful baby girl, mommy loves you so much. I'm so sorry, but you have to do whatever he says, okay?"

Miracle's eyes filled with tears as she stared at her mother in disbelief. "Mom, what are you talking about? Mommy, no! No, no, no!"

Her mother's eyes welled up with tears as she stroked Miracle's curly hair. "Mommy made some bad deals, sweetheart. And his gentlemen have agreed to cover mommy's debts in exchange for you."
