Chapter 2 Stay Obedient

• CELESTE
• I was born without even knowing what my mother looked like. I only know her by name. Selene.
• According to my late father, my mother died when she gave birth to me. And the rest is blurry. When I was five, my father married Jade—my father’s best friend. Jade came from the West family—a well-known family in the business industry.
• Jade has a glamorous life, but her demeanor is rubbish. When my father was alive, she treated me like a princess—because dad was there.
• However, ten years ago, I was fifteen years old, exactly my birthday, I lost my father. He died in a car accident, and that’s also the start of my miserable life.
• Noah, Jade’s son, came into the picture, and he started to treat me like I was his toy. My once-clear world became dark, and I didn’t see any light of hope from that moment. I don’t know if I will be able to escape.
• Sleepless nights, aching bodies, traumatic fear… Jade and Noah made me feel these.
• And I am lost.
• Then here comes another part of the monsters’ family, Noah’s fiancée, Liza.
• “What the hell are you doing?!”
• I got back to my senses when I heard Liza’s voice. I looked up and met her gaze. “I’m sorry,” I mumbled.
• Liza rolled her eyes at me, then pulled me by the arm. “Fucking get your ass off the bed. Stand near us and watch!”
• I did what she said, and I almost fell when my knees weakened. Good thing I grabbed the edge of the bed.
• “Geez, you want to play with this weakling, babe?” Liza’s seductive voice irritates me. I bit my lower lip and pulled myself up.
• Damn, I didn’t even have my lunch. And my body is still screaming in pain. What’s new? I always feel pain every day—physically and emotionally.
• “I thought your meeting would last until the evening. How about Mom? Aren’t you with her?” Noah uttered. He darted his gaze at me, but I looked away.
• I can’t stand seeing those demonic eyes. My hands trembled as my mind started to think about his cruelty, but I managed to calm myself even a little bit.
• I saw Liza lie down on my modest bed and take off her clothes. “Mom is upstairs, and she’s right.”
• “Right, about what?”
• “That you’re playing with Celeste. And if you do not take me here, I will fucking hate you,” Liza replied.
• My eyes widened when she turned her gaze on me. “Don’t even think about closing your eyes, or you’re dead,” she warned.
• I want to laugh at her words.
• Dead?
• They always told me that if I couldn’t do the thing they wanted—every time, they threatened me.
• One simple mistake. Just fucking one! And they started to play with me—torture me like I’m a criminal.
• They’re even worst—they’re demons.
• I even wish to be with those mythical creatures rather than be with cruel humans like them. I close my eyes for a while and open them again. I’m afraid Liza will catch me.
• I remember the book my father gave me when I was seven, and it was all about wolves, vampires, witches, and the like. Every time I read it, it seems like that book comforts me.
• “You are out of focus again, Celeste,” Liza’s stern voice pierced my ears.
• “I… I’m watching,” I replied.
• Liza smirked. “Sure, you will,” she said. “Look how Noah kneads and squeezes my boobies. It’s wonderful, right?” she added.
• I glanced at Noah, and he was grinning demonically while he was massaging his fiancé’s breast.
• “Y-Yes,” I replied.
• “Ahh…” Liza started to moan, which irritated my ears, but I couldn’t do anything. I will stay obedient, even just for today.
• My body is still weak because of Noah’s slaps and punches the other day.
• I forgot to iron his fucking boxer, and he made me his punching bag already.
• I don’t know, but I can still survive even if they throw me and beat me to death. I even blame Him. Why He’s making me taste this kind of life? What did I do in my past life to experience this cruelty?
• Dad always told me to be a good girl—stay humble as I could. And I did. But why?
• “Oh… that’s it, baby….” Liza’s moan cut the fragments of my thoughts.
• I frowned as I watched her close her eyes like an idiot while Noah’s pleasuring her.
• “Oh… suck it, baby,” she said to Noah when the latter went down to her thighs.
• Noah smirked, and I gasped when he glanced at me. I diverted my gaze and darted it into Liza’s face. Her eyes were closed, showing how she was enjoying their thing.
• I clenched my jaw when she suddenly opened her eyes. She bit her lower lip and formed a sly smirk on her lips. “This is so damn good, Celeste. Noah is getting better and better when we’re doing this in front of you,” she said.
• I clenched my fist and glared at her.
