Claire's point of view
As I stared into the blankness lost in thought I felt a touch on my shoulder, it was grandpa, he's been calling me for about a minute and I didn't even hear him... "hey grandpa sorry I didn't know you were beside me". He looked worried and he asked if I had any last words as I looked up and everyone was looking at me, we were in the graveyard for the burial of my parents, I felt like it wasn't real so I didn't say or do much, I only stared into the dug up hole where they would be buried in. My little sister Amy was in tears and she held on to me for words of assurance but I couldn't even say anything, Claire! Grandpa called out to me again, do you have anything to say, any last words, it's time for them to put in the coffin and start burying them.
Then it dawned on me, this is real... I finally replied and told my grandpa I had a few words, I said some words of prayer and talked about a few memories I could muster up without having to shed tears, dad always said big girls don't cry and I promised never to, never to let anyone see me cry but even I am broken and can't keep this up for long, after my speech, grandpa asked Amy if she had any final words too, with teary eyes she answered and said no, she's always looked up to me and only did whatever I told her to do, I'm sure she feels that I had said everything and she didn't need to say any more.
She held on to me and I hugged her, I finally said a few words to her, "it's going to be fine, I'm here for you and I'll always be here for you" she cried more and louder this time and she whispered to me that she knows and let out a faint smile... we watched as they finally laid them in the ground and covered them up, the father said more prayers and we dropped flowers at their gravestones, and just like that it was over, I was now an orphan, it now feels so real and painful but I didn't want Amy to see me cry, I joined grandpa to bid the guests and family friends goodbye, when everyone had left.
We all got in the car and then drove off, grandpa wasn't a man of much words but I could see the pain in his eyes but he still smiles at us, as if assuring us that we would be alright. My parents were the ideal couple and my family was the ideal family, we were wealthy and happy, my dad was my hero and my mum was my role model, I stared out the window of the car as we drove home, it started raining, and I liked the rain but this time seeing it rain hurt so much, all I could do was reminisce about my parents and our time together...
we got home and all I could do was look at our house, it felt weird going inside, weird and empty I muttered to myself, all the workers had already gotten home and the butler came to help me get inside, I wonder why, miss Claire can I get you anything, he asked as we entered the living room, I asked for coffee, and Amy asked for same with some chocolates, Amy has always had a sweet tooth, I do too but I never liked chocolate and I never knew why... we tried to settle in and talk about anything that would lighten our moods. Amy suggested we see a movie, "a horror movie would help and I know just the one" I smiled as she pulled me up the stairs to our movie room, we had snacks and lots of chocolate for Amy, it was fun and i felt a bit dizzy while we were seeing the movie, I haven't been able to sleep for days and this was just what I needed as I dozed off and fell asleep.

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.
