CHAPTER ONE

-

-

Once again, she was utterly disgusted with herself.

But it wasn't as if it was something new to her.

She had been in this job for the past three years. Being a prostitute was something she was already used to; but every time she did it, there was always this sickening feeling inside her.

She was just disgusted with herself.

And she couldn't do anything about it because that's what she was: a whore.

She sighed. Pitying herself wouldn't do her any good. There was no money in pity so she better get it out of her system.

She checked the time on the wall clock. It was already fifteen minutes past midnight. It was time for her to go.

Carefully, she crawled out of the bed, trying not to wake up the sleeping figure beside her. Her knees were slightly trembling as she walked around the room to pick up her clothes.

She was so exhausted. All she wanted at that moment was sleep and she knew she badly needed it; but she also knew that she wouldn't be getting it any time soon.

Her customer for that night was very demanding and he almost used up all her energy. He had made her do stuff that was just too much for her. The man was a complete pervert and she hated his type because he treated women like her like a shit.

But who was she to complain? She was just a whore. She was paid only to satisfy her customers' sexual hungers and nothing else. She had no right to demand for respect.

After she made sure that she had not forgotten anything, especially the payment for her service for that night, she hastily left the motel for another appointment.

But this one was her regular customer. Once a week, he would meet her in one of his condominium units in secret. The guy was particularly careful about meeting her since he was a well-known public figure.

He was the politician, Senator Akira Tonouchi.

She was well aware that it was dangerous for her to be involved with powerful men like him. But she didn't care. All she cared about was that he pays her well and that was enough for her.

When she arrived at the condominium building, she went straight to the back door and took the elevator. The senator had always reminded her never to use the building's main entrance just to be cautious.

Two men in uniform were standing outside her customer's unit. When they saw her approaching, both of them smirked.

She ignored them. They were the senator's bodyguards and they were already expecting for her arrival. As they opened the door for her, she knew that perverted thoughts were already playing inside their stupid heads.

As soon as she got inside, she went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower without bothering to look for her customer. She knew he would just be inside his room, waiting for her.

After she was done with her shower, she just wrapped herself with the towel she found inside the bathroom and went to the bedroom where Senator Tonouchi was waiting for her.

Her seductive smile was already plastered on her face as she entered the room.

The senator turned to her direction when he heard the door of his room opened. He grinned automatically when he saw her.

"How was my girl?" He said as he put down the pieces of papers he was holding on the near table. His eyes were filled with lust as he gazed on her almost naked body.

"I've been good, Tono-chan. I was really looking forward to see you again." She replied sweetly as she walked her way towards him.

The man grinned wider and then he closed their distance.

She let the towel around her dropped on the floor and let the man caress her.

She was about to let out fake moans when her eyes caught a glimpse of a tall figure from outside the balcony.

She was going to let it go, thinking that it was only her imagination, when suddenly, the glass door of the balcony slid open and a man entered the room.

But before she and the senator could react to the intrusion, the man pointed a gun at the senator and shot him straight on the head.

She stood there, frozen on her feet.

She was now looking straight at the dead body sprawled on the floor. Blood was continuously flowing from the hole on his head.

Her eyes wide, she couldn't speak. She was too shocked. It all happened so fast. The man who she was about to have sex with was now dead on the floor, while she was there, standing beside the corpse and drips of blood splattered on her own naked body.

There was no sound when he was shot. It was silent.

With her mind still in shock, she looked up from the dead body to the man who killed her customer.

The killer was still there with her.

And then it felt as if her sanity came rushing back to her head.

She started to scream.

"AAAHH—"

But before she could scream further, the man was quickly in front of her and his rough hands were covering her mouth.

"Hmmmpphh!"

She struggled but she stopped when she felt him pointed his gun at the back of her head.

Her eyes widened in terror.

"Keep quiet or the next bullet will be inside your head." The man whispered in a low, dangerous tone.

Her whole body trembled. And everything around her seemed to be turning black.

But before she finally lost her consciousness, she looked up at the man, who was still holding her close, and then their eyes met...

And his eyes were the color of blood.
