"Welcome to Casa de Lujuria — a place where your hidden desire is unleashed, like a pleasure in paradise," Mist said with a smile on her face.
Carnation dashed to the end of the platform, grabbed the railings, and gazed around the massive hall in excitement. This was most likely the largest hall she had ever seen! She did not even consider Casa de Lujuria to be this huge. She peered beneath the platform and noticed the LED DJ booth between the twin grand staircases; the color of the DJ booth alternates between pink, light blue, and black. A rectangular stage with two circular stages glued on both sides of the rectangular stage can be found at the far end of the hall. There are poles in the middle of the round stages, and white lounges and lumen LED tables are found near the stage.
"Obviously... That's the stage," Mist said, pointing to the stage's location. "The lounges found below are specified for the regular members of the Casa de Lujuria. There is a VIP lounge over there." Mist pointed again, and Carnation's eyes immediately followed. The VIP section and the platform where they are standing are both on the second floor of the hall. However, from where they were standing, she couldn't see a way to the VIP area. There were no other options besides the stairs and the entrance behind her and Mist, because the entire platform was surrounded by walls.
"Come on, I'll show you some more. Let's go!" Mist invited her, holding her hand and pulling her down the staircase. Mist couldn't stop talking about how expensive the nightclub was, and how expensive the things in the nightclub were; what type of materials they were made of, what country they were made in, and who the famous artist had created the piece as they walked around the main floor.
'Maybe she's just really proud of her older brother,' Carnation thought as she continued to follow Mist.
After walking around the main floor, Mist led her to the elevator, which was still found in the main hall. She informed her that Casa de Lujuria has two elevators, one at the reception area that connects to the hotel's lobby and the other that they will use now that connects to the SSL Hotel's underground parking.
"The first elevator was only for the customers with black or pink keycards. While this elevator was only for blue and gold keycard holders. In short, the type of keycard you hold determines which elevator you will use." Mist took out a blue keycard. "To make it clearer... this black and pink keycard is for Casa de Lujuria's customers, while the blue and gold keycard is for Casa de Lujuria's personnel." Mist activated the elevator by touching the blue keycard to the scanner. "This is the elevator you will use when you join the Casa de Lujuria staff."
Mist and her stepped into the elevator, which took them to the third floor—the office floor. They entered a room at the end of the corridor that turned out to be Mist's office. Mist made her sit in the visitors chair when she sat in her chair. She began to explain everything to her, answering all of her questions, and Carnation nearly had a heart attack when she realized what kind of place she had entered.
"Mr. Lust is a member of the Seven Sins Association, which is part of a larger organization called the Underground Society.... And all of our customers in Casa de Lujuria are members of the Underground Society." This was the only thing Mist told her that stayed with her. And she realized only one thing: when she signed the contract, she would receive one hundred thousand pesos.
Carnation placed the paper on the wooden table. She took a deep breath and quickly signed the contract before returning it to Mist.
With a melancholy look, the woman accepted the contract and said, "you can no longer revoke what you have already signed. From today, you are now Mr. Lust's property." Carnation's heart was torn apart by the news. She traded her freedom and pride for the sake of money.
"Here's your signing bonus and keycard." She smiled at Mist and took the white envelope and blue keycard with trembling hands. "Goodluck Carnation," Mist added.

"How did you get this money?" Leonora frowned as she accepted the money.
"I borrowed it from a friend," she lied. Her stepmother didn't say anything and just stared at her. Carnation was nervous; did her stepmother suspect she was lying?
She swallowed hard. "Is there a problem?"
"Which of your friends? Sa said they can't lend you money anymore," her stepmother interrogates her. Doubtful.
"Do you remember my college friend RJ? She gave me the money."
"The name was familiar," her stepmother said as she turned away from her. Carnation sat down on the couch and Leonora counted the money she was holding. "How much will Galel receive?"
"That is One Hundred Thousand Pesos; it is up to you to budget for him. Please tell Galel to wait a little longer; I'll pay him in full by the end of the month."
"You appear to be confident, eh? Have you taken on another part-time job?" The question took Carnation aback, but she quickly recovered.
"Yes, in Makati, at a hotel. They're looking for a dishwasher and an assistant," Carnation replied, breath caught in her throat.
"Is that so? When do you plan to begin? Isn't that going to be a conflict with your part-time job at the gas station?" Carnation works at the Congressional Road gas station when she is not at the cafe or not in the convenience store.
"N-not at all... I'm just an on-call, and I can be called in at any time." However, she intends to leave her part-time jobs at the cafe and at the gas station, as well as her part-time job at a convenience store. She intends to write a resignation letter tomorrow.
"Is there even a job like that? Work anytime you want?" Leonora wondered.
"Yes! There is one. This job of mine... Ahmp, it's just like working as an assistant." Lying is like a virus; it spreads extremely quickly. Carnation's lie grew larger and larger as she sought to conceal the truth.
"Does such a thing exist?"
"There already is." Carnation stood up for the lie, she even smiled to persuade her stepmother.
Leonora went home that night to get new clothes for them to wear in the hospital. When Carnation's stepmother returned, she went home to wash the dirty clothes Leonora had left, and then she rested. This is how they set it up so that someone can keep an eye on her daddy in case he needs to pee, drink, or eat.
Carnation wrote her resignation letter the next day, after hanging the laundry she had left in the washing machine the night before. After that, she took a shower and went to her part-time job. Carnation notified the gas station first, then the café and the convenience store.
"Are you prepared for your physical examination?" Mist asked after Carnation had finished filling out a piece of paper. "Yes." She still smiled at the woman, although she's quite nervous. "Good! All right, stand there and follow me." They walked down the hallway after leaving Mist's office. She was informed that her physical examination would take place on the same floor. Carnation suddenly stopped as they walked to the physical test room and noticed a double wooden door. She approached the door and unconsciously caressed it, mesmerized by the anaconda carving on it. "What are you doing?" Mist's stern question distracted her from her staring contest to the wooden door's carving. Carnation turned to face the woman, and was greeted by Mist raising a brow. "Ah... I was just amazed at the door," she said, returning her gaze to the door. "It's so well made," she added. "Are you not scared
"Sir, we will do the physical test of the new girls today," Barnald told Luca, who was standing in front of the tinted glass wall in his office, staring at the stage below."Is Carnation included?""Yes, sir. She signed a contract and became a niña of Casa de Lujuria yesterday," Barnald replied to his boss who was still turning his back on him.Luca grinned disgustedly at what he had just heard. "And here I thought she'd turn down the offer. After all, a woman is still a woman," Luca pointed.Barnald didn't say anything. He'd believed his boss despised women. He didn't know anything about its past, but he was certain his boss wouldn't instill hatred in women if it hadn't been hurt by a woman back then."By the way, sir, your brother called. He offered to take part in our recruits' physical tests." Luca sipped rum from the glass he was holding. He turned to face his assistant and sim
Accompanied by Rosemary Clooney's sway—the remix version. The three strip dancers looked like pythons as they climbed on the pole of Case de Lujuria's stage. The strength of these three young women's arms is very amazing. They do not fall to the floor no matter what position they take. It was as if they had become one with the slippery and cold poles.Carnation averted his eyes from the stage when, in a smooth gesture, the woman in the middle quickly took off her upper garment. She erotically grinds on the pole as it dances to the loud music. Because of that, the men in the lounge area of the main floor shouted like hungry beasts. They looked like lions in the forest who saw the delicious food and appetizing you tasted.Carnation took a deep breath before turning his back on the stage and headed to the bar counter at the end of the hall, on the right side of the twin imperial staircase when coming from the stage.It's been a week since the day of the phy
"How's your new part time job?" Carnation paused peeling the apple because of her mother's question. She turned to face her and smiled. Today was her day off, so she decided to assist her stepmother in caring for her father."I'm doing great," she said sparingly, trying not to say anything she shouldn't. If she isn't careful with her words, she might say something that makes her stepmother doubt her. Her family should be kept in the dark about the nature of her work. They may despise her or, in the worst-case scenario, abandon her."How about our hotel colleagues? 'Don't they bully you there?" Carnation's lips curled into a smile. She returned her attention to peeling the apple and said, "I've never had an encounter like that, tita. I don't think the people at the hotel are like that." Admittedly, the people at the hotel are fine, for what she remembers. Well, she didn't know everyone yet and she hadn't met the other girls yet."That's good then."After p
"How's it going, dolt? You seem to have a great time, eh? Look at how beautiful your wet hair is, I see you've bathed?" Primus teases their friend Wregan when he enters his office. Luca looked at Wregan. Primus is right. Wregan's appearance obviously screams, "I just got a good f*ck!"'Did this f*cktard ravish Carnation ready?' Luca asked in his mind. Tch! So what? As if he cared if they'd f*ck. He felt irritated yet Luca managed to ignore his feelings. Whatever happens to the two, he must not interfere; after all, it isn't his business. He should be overjoyed because Casa de Lujuria is making money."I'm feeling good, dolt." Wregan smiled back at Primus. He sat down next to Primus, poured himself a drink, and drank it all in one shot."Ahuh? So why are you here? Not satisfied with your virgin flavor of the month?" Primus' teasing Wregan made Luca even more annoyed. Wregan is playing with his niña again
"I'll cover the costs. I will even double the price if you tell me who hit me that night. I need to know her." Luca raised an eyebrow. Sandoval, the old man, is too eager to get Carnation. He even calls him occasionally. Sandoval wants to buy her from him."Mr. Sandoval, I'm afraid I can't assist you. By requesting that favor, you are violating the policy of my nightclub. In fact, I'm not going to sell you my niña. My company's mission is to provide men with comfort, not to engage in human trafficking." Luca was strongly opposed. The old man was well aware that he was Mr. Lust. He was no longer interested in being a VIP member, but Sandoval's focus had shifted to Carnation. He said he wanted to buy the niña that smashed a bottle on his head."No. Mr. Lust, I know you can get her for me. I'd like to have her. What she did to me has left me speechless." The old man's words shook Luca to his core—f*ck! This old man is determined."Mr. Sandoval,
Carnation couldn't help but laugh weakly. She had no idea that Mr. Lust's stubborn assistant had a cute side. Barnald is adorable when he is annoyed; his eyes sparkle and his lips pout."What's funny?" The young man turned to face her. "Are you making fun of me?" he barked, and turned back to face the road. Carnation grins and shakes her head. How cute..."Can you please stop doing that?" He rebuked her."Doing what?""Stop acting cute, will you?" Carnation violently turned her head to face the young man."Hey, you! I'm not acting cute!""Then, what are you doing? Just now—there, you are making cute faces again!" He accused her again, and Carnation's eyes widened at its accusation."You've got a thick face, man! I'm not trying to make a cute face! As if I'm going to do something like that in front of you. I'd rather pretend to be cute in front of Wregan... tch!" She whispered the last line, but the young man could still hear her
Luca addressed his visitor while sitting comfortably in his swivel chair. Barnald informed him that Sandoval had been visiting his office for a few days, and their paths did not cross because he was hiding and avoiding someone he didn't want to see in Casa de Lujuria. He's like a ghost in his own nightclub, always present but unnoticed."I really meant to come here for you, Mr. Lust, you don't respond to my calls. I've been visiting Casa de Lujuria for a few days now to speak with you."“Mr. Sandoval, as far as I recall, our last meeting went well. There's no need for us to talk," Luca replied coldly. He looked down at the briefcase that Sandoval had laid out on top of his solid wood office table. He raised an eyebrow as the old man opened the briefcase, revealing a large amount of money inside.“What’s this?” Luca chuckled. “Are you bribing me Mr. Sandoval? ” He laughed, accusing the old man, which Sandoval did not deny.
