In a dark world where power and greed reign supreme, one woman's quest for freedom becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse. Alicia's life was once filled with dreams of freedom and joy-until her father sold her to a war camp, where she became a pawn of a psychopathic and dangerous Soldier . Used and almost broken, Alicia survives by clinging to a faint hope of freedom that never seems to come until an incident awakens a fire within her. With nothing left to lose, she orchestrates a daring escape, only to find that freedom comes at a price. Alone and lost, Alicia stumbles upon a chilling secret: the war camp is just one piece of a vast human trafficking network run by the infamous Ramon Family, a mafia empire with ties to the darkest corners of the black market. Determined to bring them down, Alicia allies with George Freeman, a detective who claims to be fighting the same enemy. But as Alicia delves deeper into the Ramon Family's twisted world, she begins to suspect that George - her only friend - is not as he seems. Her mission takes a dangerous turn when she infiltrates the Ramon Family as a spy, but gets chosen as the personal assistant to Rendall Ramon, the cold and calculating heir to the empire. Rendall is everything Alicia fears-ruthless, unpredictable, and dangerously perceptive. Yet, as she navigates his world of violence and deceit, she discovers a surprising vulnerability beneath his icy exterior. Torn between her mission and her growing feelings for Rendall, Alicia must decide who she can trust in a world where betrayal is the only constant. With time running out and the lives of countless girls hanging in the balance, Alicia must confront her darkest fears and make an impossible choice: save herself or risk everything to bring the Ramon Family to justice.
Chapter 1 The life of a slave
Clang, Clang, Clang.
That was the sound of the warden's metal bat hitting the iron bars of our cells in his nightly inspection. It was dark in our small cell, but you could see the stars through the hole in the ceiling. It would have been beautiful if not for the dreadful cold that wanted to turn us into popsicles.
I pushed a smelly foot that had come too close to my face and rolled away from the body pile to sit up, resting my back on the cold concrete wall. Due to the cold, we usually slept on each oto gather and keep warmth and not freeze to death, hence the body pile. The cold seemed to increase as I left the warmth of the pile and my cloth made of sack did little to stop my body from shaking from the cold. I would have to go back soon because I couldn't afford to fall sick. This was already a hellhole, falling sick in the midst of all this was a death sentence and the dark cell promised just that.
"Alicia, why are you over there?", asked Jenny as she crawled away from the body pile, and came to my side... yawning as she asked;
"Bad dreams? Or the smell is worse than the cold to you?"
I laughed, or at least I tried, the cold had made my lips hard to move and my teeth were clenched to stop it from chattering. 15 girls all rolled together didn't bring about the best smell, especially when all of us smelled like used toiletries, cum and had forgotten what it felt like to bathe. The mercenaries had weird fetishes and some peed over you after the deed just to gain some sadistic pleasure. But who cares?We were war prisoners.
"Well both, i think Rheena was gangbanged again by the black troupes, she smells like alcohol and saliva." I answered while shaking my head, and sighing. Being used by multiple men was a common thing here, and it was rare to be F*cked by just one person, which was a privilege I, Jenny and one other person enjoyed.
Jenny was my best friend and confidante in this hell hole, we were captured and brought to this camp on the same day and thrown together with Taylor. 3 fresh ladies in a world full of horny and lawless men, the ladies who talked about their first time here, all spoke of the horrors they passed through as they were taken by each Man or beast. Few actually survived the ordeal which was why there were only 20 girls in this cage, the rest died on their first or second day.
On that day, before we were pounced on by those beasts in men's clothing, A soldier walked in and for no reason in particular, stared at us. His name was Arthur, a soldier of a pretty high rank - I never bothered to find out, he just told the soldiers to package the ladies and take us to his room. It was that simple. We were so happy at first to escape the stares and grips of those men that we failed to register the mocking smiles on their faces. It was later we understood that Arthur was a beast among beasts.
I shivered again as I tried to forget what happened after, the pain, the tears and screams. It was too much, so though we weren't gangbanged and soiled, we still went through hell everyday, at least we went through it together. Only on some days like today, were we called individually - Taylor was in his room for tonight.
Jenny shrugged her shoulders.
"It could have been worse, at least she came back in one piece."
After Years of torment, we had made our peace with the situation and just prayed that death would take us, since hell was here, the other side couldn't be worse, right?. I looked up to see the stars, beautiful in the night sky and so far away from the grime and darkness that pervaded this cell.
"The stars are out today, maybe one day we'll join them and look down on this world."
Jenny just stared at the sky, before a pale smile graced her cracked lips.
"Yeah maybe, but I'm sure as hell not gonna be looking down on this place, I'll be far far away."
Then I placed my hands on her hand, and pulled her back to the body pile, in hope that tomorrow would be different, with the faint sounds of dogs barking in the distance...
I opened my eyes to the sunlight pouring through the hole in the ceiling, yawning. I sat up and looked around. The girls were up and looking listless, every day was the same, barely enough food was given to us to eat and we just tried to grab whatever scraps we could get after being raped. But Arthur was different... He made us wait in his room with food in a tray, and after a while he would enter with his black leather belt in his hand. Day after day, being tormented would leave its mark on you, break you and turn you into something unrecognisable.
The cell had some marks on its walls, it was not painted and left bland, like our futures. We all wore black sacks as clothes, the soldiers didn't bother to give us clothes and the one we had, had been torn to pieces. We all laid sprawled in the cell that was just wide enough for us to stretch our legs while we sat.
Clang, clang, clang
This time everyone stormed to the iron bars that caged us in as a Man wearing a black uniform with a long scar running down his face, his left hand on his gun which he used to hit the bars while the right held a tray of food. He slotted it through the wide space between the bars at the middle and left the tray to fall, but it was caught by the girls who tore the food apart. I was part, dragging a piece of stale bread and stuffing it in my mouth as my other hand flew to grab another. That was how it was, they wanted to turn us to animals and the warden watched with a sadistic smile on his face as we fought over food, we ignored him.
After eating, I went to a corner with Jenny, as we sat together, the feeling of something in my stomach giving me some strength, though there wasn't any water again, we were used to it.
"You bitches should behave better tomorrow, the inspector is coming over and I don't want any mistakes or a tattletale, you know what happened last time ", the Warden growled as he brandished his gun. Then he pointed the gun at Rheena and sneered; "You there with the plum ass, get over here, you'll be serving me today." Rheena just stood up, her eyes vacant like she had lost her soul, then she walked to the door. Keys jingled as the Warden took out a bunch of keys, then opened the cell for Rheena to walk out. He waved the gun to warn us not to come closer, not that he needed to, even with the door open what waited for us outside was a tight security that we couldn't hope to escape from. My heart sank as the Warden walked away with his hand mauling Rheena's ass through her sack cloth as if he couldn't wait to ravage her.
I didn't know if Rheena could make it back today, but she always did. I didn't have time to pity her too much, Taylor would soon be back and it'll be my turn to enter the lion's den. Even though I had been in this place for 6 months, being ravaged day and night, I still felt nervous before I went. Jenny said it was me being foolish, but I felt that It was me still clinging on to what little humanity I had left.
"It's been a while, Taylor should have been back," Jenny said as she looked up at the sky - a favourite pastime of hers.
"You're right, but Arthur might have been having one of his 'special' days," I replied, putting emphasis on the word special. Arthur was a beast in bed, but there were times when he was more bestial than normal.
"Do you think she can survive it, he normally calls for the 3 of us on his special days," said Jenny as she frowned at the thought.
"I hope so,". I said, but I didn't know what I feared more, the thought that Taylor might not come back or how things might be if only me and Jenny remained, we barely made it when we were called one by one.
