Last Night

Lyra opened her eyes with a frightened reaction as if she had just had a nightmare. Her eyes caught the view of a luxurious bedroom that still felt foreign to her.

After remembering, she realized that she was not in the luxury penthouse or mansion belonging to her husband, Jonathan. That's right, after she realized again that he shad been sold to a mysterious man named Lucas Schneider, the pain came to the surface again.

"It turned out not to be a dream." She muttered while rubbing the back of her neck. Last night was a very long night and she spent the night having dinner with the man and then drinking more alcohol until she got drunk.

She knew nothing had happened last night, apparently Lucas still hadn't touched her at all even though she was sure she heard the slightly surprising words from the man's mouth that he wanted Lyra to dance a striptease in a special room that had been prepared.

"It turns out he's just like other men, he just wants my body and he'll definitely get it." e muttered irritably. After he recovered from his drunkenness, She began to return to her original personality.

She got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom before she was stopped by three female maids who were waiting for her at the bathroom door.

"Good morning, Miss Lyra?" The three maids greeted her with good morning while smiling formally. They looked very stiff, as if they weren't human.

Their presence in her bedroom, which was supposed to be her personal space, made her feel a little uncomfortable. She is still not used to the noble lifestyle of always being served at all times whatever she wants to do.

The life of a socialite like the one she experienced while being Jonathan's wife was slightly different even though both of them made her treated like a regal woman.

"What are you doing here?"

"We will help you get ready because master is waiting for breakfast in the dining room." Said one of the three maids.

"What? B-but you guys don't have to do that. I can shower and dress up myself!" Lyra felt that she had to refuse them because after all she was independent enough just to clean her body and choose the clothes she would wear today.

"But master asked us to always help you, Miss. That is our duty!"

"But-"

It was really awkward and uncomfortable, strangely she still couldn't refuse them even though she really wanted to. For her, activities in the bathroom in the morning are something she most wants to do alone.

"In that case, okay."

She was forced to accept their help as happened last night when she just arrived at this mansion. After bathing and dressing, a maid accompanied her to the dining room where her master was waiting for her to have breakfast together.

"I'm not a morning person," she said instead of saying good morning like she should. She showed an unhappy expression because she was not used to coming out of her room so early even though she woke up early today.

"In one night you finally showed your true colors." Lucas said while sipping the coffee in his cup. He looked at Lyra with a cold and slightly condescending expression. This upsets Lyra and she is forced to endure it because of her status as a woman who has been hired by a rich man.

"Forgive me!"

"It's okay, sit down! From now on you have to get used to waking up early and doing activities in the morning."

Lyra sat opposite Lucas after a servant pulled a chair for her so she could sit. This nightmare she experienced she felt much worse after she woke up in the morning. Even though yesterday she acted like a poor little cat, now her consciousness had recovered and required her to restore what remaining dignity she had.

"Sorry, Mr. Schneider. But my husband never forces me to get up early. I'm free to wake up whatever time I want."

"Really? Turns out your husband is quite good, isn't he?"

"Yes, he's a good husband. At least he doesn't force three maids to help me bathe and get dressed. I can freely do whatever I want." She said in a high tone. Lugas looked at her with a cynical and cold gaze that made her shudder even though she tried not to show her fear.

"A good husband will not sell his wife at auction. Unless you do it happily."

Lyra tried to hold back her annoyance, she didn't know why yesterday she acted like a kitten who was happily adopted by a human at an auction. She should have guessed that no decent man would hire a woman just for fun.

Lucas glanced at her coldly while cutting the pancakes on the plate with a small knife in his hand. This feeling of being watched made Lyra feel uncomfortable. She couldn't even swallow her food.

"Can you stop looking at me like that?" Very bravely, she immediately asked Lucas to stop looking at her. She showed an expression of resistance that she hoped would make Lucas think 1000 times about treating her like a doll that he could control as he pleased.

"I rented you at a very high price where I could rent 10 women prettier and more attractive than you for the same price. Just because you are Jonathan Smith's wife, I am willing to spend money on that. So, I have rights over you not you."

"I'll only be with you for three months, it's best to just say whatever you want from me so we can spend these three months well."

"So anything you can do for me, hmm?" Lucas smiled. He didn't expect Lyra to be so frank with him. He just didn't know that Lyra was not a woman who would hide what she wanted. If she wants something, she will definitely say it directly.

However, hearing Lucas' question, she felt a little worried. How come? She will live with Lucas for three months and during that time she will be under the power of a mysterious man whose name makes her feel like her childhood trauma is coming back to life.

"I'll do whatever you want! You can ask me to have sex with you whenever you want and in any way you want."

"Is it true?"

"Yeah, isn't that what you want! So, you just have to say what you want!"

"Because that's all you can do, right?"

"W-what?"

"You can only be a sexual object for men, you don't have any skills or talents. You're nothing more than a lowly whore."
