"Anna." Hero held Anna's hand to stop her. "Hero, all our relationships are over, so don't bother me anymore," Anna growled and tried to remove her hand from Hero. Hero was very stubborn and didn't listen to Anna at all, he just tightened his grip even more. "Anna, come back to me. I apologize for what happened five years ago." "Huh, who do you think would want to go back with an asshole like you, Hero." "Ann..." "Mom!" Harry ran over to Anna and hugged her legs tightly. "Anna, who is this child? "My son, of course." "Mom, who is this person?" "He's our son, Anna?" Hero concluded after looking at Harry's face, which was very similar to hers. "NO!" "Are you my father?"
"Hero, what are you going to do?" Anna took two steps back as Hero approached her with an intimidating look.
"Anna, what do you think I want?"
"I don't know." Anna tried to act calm and keep a straight face. She did not want Hero's behavior to affect her in the slightest.
Hero was infuriated by Anna's behavior. His large body restrained Anna, with one hand on Anna's face and the other on her waist. Anna was only as tall as Hero's shoulders, so how could her strength defeat Hero, who was clearly stronger?
"Hero, don't overreact, or you'll regret it."
Hero laughed satirically against Anna's neck, sending shivers down the woman's spine. This was the first time Anna had ever been in such close contact with a man. But as much as Anna tried to keep her calm, she didn't want Hero to influence her.
"What will I regret?"
Hero looked at Anna, who still kept her calm expression, and lifted his handsome face from Anna's neck.
"Anna, listen. I'm not going to regret what I'm about to do."
Hero's hand on Anna's waist rose to touch her stomach and continued upward until it met Anna's two most sensitive parts. His treatment made Anna gasp in shock, her eyes shaking as she stared at Hero in disbelief.
All this time, Anna had been fighting for her love for Hero, but Hero's response had always been cold, even after years of Anna's attempts. The Hero never loved Anna, and Anna knew it.
Anna believed that Hero's actions were not based on feelings. The man didn't have an ounce of affection for her, and Anna knew it. Hero had disappointed Anna so much that it was painful to be treated so poorly by the person Anna loved.
"Hero..." Anna's voice as Hero started to press there.
"How, Anna? If you like it, honestly, I really hate your flat face. This time, I'm going to make you make a lot of expressions, Anna."
Without waiting for Anna to answer, Hero picked up Anna's body and carried her to the bed. There was a sound of rejection from Anna, as if the deaf Hero did not react and continued to do what he wanted without caring what would happen to their relationship.
Anna woke up with heavy eyes and pain all over her body, especially in her core. Tears just came out of her eyelids; the pain in her body reminded Anna of the incident a few hours before.
Hero didn't listen to her at all, even when Anna resisted. But how could Anna resist when Hero was raping her? Anna was just a weak woman; her strength could not be compared to Hero, who was a man.
Despite the pain, Anna forced herself to get up from the bed. The blanket covering her body slid easily down to her waist. Anna could see that her upper body was covered in a blue and red rash; it was all Hero was doing.
Next to her, Hero was fast asleep with his naked body; Hero seemed utterly unperturbed by all the movements Anna was making. Anna didn't have much time to think about her current situation; she just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.
Retrieving her clothes, whichtered in every corner of the room, Anna gathered them and put them on, then quickly left after ensuring she didn't leave any items or traces behind.
***
Hero struggled on the bed for a while, his hands fumbling at the sides but finding nothing. His eyes opened wide, and he sat up. Hero guessed that Anna had left quietly while he was fast asleep.
One of the habits Hero needed help getting rid of was the difficulty of waking up. She was very insensitive to sounds while asleep, both loud and soft. Anna must have taken advantage of this and left it unnoticed.
Hero ruffled her hair in annoyance and growled Anna's name. "Anna, even after everything I did last night, you just left."
Hero picked up the cell phone and dialed Peter, her assistant. Hero had a bad feeling about Anna. It was almost as if she was walking away from him, and he felt a sense of loss.
"Peter, trace Anna's whereabouts immediately. I need the information right away." Without waiting for Peter to answer, Hero turned off her cell phone.
"I hope you haven't gone, Anna," Hero hoped.
***
Wearing glasses and a black hat, Anna hid her beauty and minimized her presence to avoid attracting the crowd's attention. She carried a large suitcase. Anna wanted to leave the country as soon as possible and go to a place where no one would recognize her.
Anna was curious to know if Hero had awakened from his current sleep, but she was unsure if Hero would realize her departure and come looking for her. After what happened last night, Hero had already made a big wound in Anna's heart; the person who had been meaningful and essential to her had disappointed her.
Half an hour later, her destination plane took off, and away from the country that had left so many memories, Anna returned to her home.
Hero paced back and forth in her office, still maintaining a calm expression, while her heart waited anxiously for news from Peter that never came. Soon, there was a knock at the door.
"Well, where is he now?" Hero asked after seeing the tip of Peter's hair come into view.
Peter bowed slightly to greet the Hero before answering, "He left the country, sir."
"Left the country where?"
"Country M."
"Why did he go there?" Hero confirmed.
"Country M is Miss Anna's home country, sir."
Now that Hero remembered, Anna was not a native of that country. Back then, Hero was uninterested in her and did not remember much about Anna. Although the woman came to see her daily and told her everything, including about herself, Hero never really listened to her and dismissed her as mere wind.
In retrospect, Anna told Hero she was not a native of this land. However, Anna still had the blood of this land from her father, who was an orphan. Both of Anna's parents live in Country M, which means that Anna lives alone in this country.
Hero suddenly regretted why she had never asked about the woman's life or where she lived in country M. But Anna's house in country M, where Anna lived when she was alone in that country, Hero had never visited at all.
"What should I do now? Should I turn the land of M upside down to find you, Anna?" Hero muttered.

"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
