Chapter 1: Betrayed

Susana's POV

I WOKE up because I felt someone lightly slapping my cheek and tapping my shoulder while whispering my name. When I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my attention was the woman with a worried expression. I blinked several times before I decided to get up.

When my head began to ache, I touched it with both hands to calm myself down.

"Can you tell me what's happening? And where am I?" I asked her.

I'm clueless of what's happening right now. I don't even know why I am sleeping in her lap. I coughed because my throat is itchy and dry.

She immediately handed me a bottle of water, which I drank slowly until I regained consciousness. As I looked around, my eyes widened. We weren't the only ones here because I saw four women far from us, they were quiet but there was sadness and fear in their eyes.

I felt cold, that's why I bent down to see the thin clothes I am wearing right now. Why am I wearing this? What place is this? I murmured and tried to feel what kind of vehicle we were riding and I concluded that we were inside the truck.

I felt a soft touch in my shoulder and I slowly looked at the woman behind me. The woman had a worried face and she looked like she knew me. She slightly moved towards me.

"Susana, don't you remember anything? You ran away last night and the boss searched the whole village to find you. They found you unconscious in your apartment."

I frowned at what she said. Unconscious in my apartment? In my mind, a flashback occurred. Suzanne made me smell an intoxicating perfume and I don't know what happened next. My senses tingled again as I tried to remember what had happened that night.

All I remember was my twin forcing me to wear that dress and she asking me to go to the party I didn’t even know and she explained that I need to be quick and be careful. She apologised multiple times that I ignored. I didn’t expect her to do this to me.

What the hell you are thinking, Suzanne! You f*cking traitor! I am your twin and you did this to me?

"Suzanne? Where is she?" I am asking this question to the woman who basically knows me but I don’t know her.

She was surprised by what I asked. "Who is Suzanne, Susana? Is she your sister? Maybe she has already escaped," she answered simply.

My chest started pounding because of the chaos developing in my mind and what was happening around me. Some of the four women beside us looked young and it looked like women trafficking?

What kind of place is this? Today I'm wearing a very thin dress. Only my sensitive part is hidden, but the rest of my body is still visible. I tried to stand up even though I lost my balance now and then. I looked for a possible hole to see where we were heading, but I was disappointed. Because the truck we were riding in was properly sealed. Only the breeze of the cold air conditioner allowed us to breathe properly.

"Susana, sit here, there's nothing we can do." The woman who I still don't know said, "We have to follow them, or we will die."

Who the heck is this woman? Why does she know me? I don’t want to conclude things in my mind but does Suzanne use my identity in this kind of life? Seriously? I sat next to her again and faced her. She seemed confused about my behaviour but she ignored it.

"What's your name?"

She frowned at me because of my sudden question.

"We've been together for a year, Susana. Why do you seem to have forgotten me?" she wondered.

I shook my head and approached her again. She looks nice and we seem to be the same age. But there was sadness and fear in her eyes. She looked surprised when I took her hands and held them tightly.

"Look at me," I spoke softly.

"Why? Did you bump your head last night so you don't remember me, Susana?” She said and averted her gaze but I forced her to look at me.

"Tell me what you see in my face." I insist.

This time she looked at me and stared at my face carefully. She suddenly frowned while observing my whole face.

"You have a white complexion, and you have nice skin. I also love your heart-shaped lips."

"What else?"

“Your eyes are blue."

She was surprised by what she said and took a back away from me. I smiled mischievously at her while she was confused by what I was doing.

"Your eyes are not blue, Susana! Who are you? Can you tell me where my friend is?" As her voice rose, she began to attract attention.

"My name is Susana but the woman you spent a year with this kind of life was Suzanne, my twin. Honestly, I don't even know how she ended up living such a hellish life! I don't know why she did this to me!” I also screamed because of my overwhelming emotions.

Suzanne, why did you do this to me? Why did you betray me? I shouldn't have trusted you. We're twins but you don't seem to like me even though I'm your flesh and blood!

“N-No! You're lying! Susana is my friend! Where the heck did you hide her?" she shouted at me again and spat on me.

"My name is Susana but I'm not the woman you came here with! Honestly, I have no idea how I ended up here. My twin, my twin, betrayed me." I eventually cried out.

How dare she do this to me? But my tears stopped spontaneously when the truck stopped. Everyone started to panic when the truck door opened. Despite the dark surroundings, perhaps it was night, and the armed men were all carrying guns.

"L-Let me leave ... Please..." The woman crawled towards the man and she wailed and clung to the arm of the man at the door.

What we didn't expect was that he shot her in the head which caused the poor woman's death. I was shocked and scared while watching the splash of blood on my body.

"Don't fight or run away because this isn't the only thing you will face. I was able to kill this woman because she was pregnant. In other words, don't try to get pregnant. I Will kill you both.” He threatened us.

I bowed down to avoid the sight of a corpse and trembled while holding the hand of the woman who had just moved away from me. She told me to calm down and not look those people in the eye.

"Get down!” the man shouted again and pulled us down from the truck one by one.

No one fought us, and no one made noise or complained as long as we got off the truck. We looked around and it seemed like we were in a place with high walls. I was depressed because I thought it was possible to escape this place. What did I get into? What did you do to me, Suzanne?

"Come straight to the red door where the Lord is. Do you all understand?” The man who shot the poor woman earlier said, "Don't make noise, and don't reprimand."

Only now did I notice due to the light coming from the light pole. I will not deny that this man is handsome and he looks like a foreigner because of his green eyes. Behind him were five other men not far from his age. Full of desire looking at us, I hugged my body tightly.

"What are you waiting for? Get the f*ck in!” After he said that he suddenly shot us causing us to bow down.

The whole group of us cried, even I was shaking with fear and in tears. Oh my god help us.

"Susana, come on. Just call me by my name Ria," the person named Ria whispered at me.

We proceeded straight to the red door and as soon as we entered, the muscular man stared at us. He has a large body, long hair, and dark skin. The black suit he is wearing and the white gloves on both hands make him very handsome.

I hid behind my hair while he looked at us seriously. There is a part of me that is afraid of that young man because he brings a different presence.

"Just five women? Luke? Five women in exchange for ten million? Are you g*damn serious?” There was anger in his tone when he said that.

Someone suddenly entered this room and that man was the man earlier.

"They are the only women Lopez had," named Luke responded.

“I need a virgin, Luke. Are they virgins? They're not looking like virgins! Especially that stinking bitch!” His voice boomed, making us all flinch.

In particular, he told a stinky girl. I was even shocked because what is the point of our appearances in this place? And why are they looking for a virgin? What will they do to us?

"Those are virgins, except for the woman I killed a while ago because that one was pregnant." He said without showing any regret of what he did.

They no longer felt sorry for the woman and the baby in that woman's womb. My tears fell again but I quickly wiped them away as I looked up because I met that man's eyes.

"Then let's see." When he said that, I was suddenly overwhelmed by fear.

In the middle of this room was a bed. And to that bed he sat in the middle of that bed and he took out something like a lubricant and turned on the light above his head.

What will he do? I looked at Ria in wonder and saw fear on her face. Even my iniquities are trembling in fear.

"You come here b*tch." he said and pointed at the girl next to Ria.

She approached the man trembling and she stopped in front of him. I watched what he did next. He ordered her to lie down on the bed in front of him and simply opened the woman's thigh. The woman screamed because he forced himself to do it.

"R-Ria what is he doing?" I softly whisper to Ria.

She tightened her grip on my arm before looking at me.

“Hymenal check. He will check our hymen to make sure it is still intact. If we were virgins," she said and looked away.

I watched as this man suddenly furrowed his thick eyebrows before shifting his attention away from the woman's femininity. After that, it looked at each of us.

"How old are you?" he asked the girl in front of him but he was looking at us.

“Twenty.” the woman in front of him answered.

“Nineteen.”

“Twenty-five,” Ria answered.

"Twenty-one," the woman behind us answered.

And the last one is me. As soon as he glanced at me, my tongue retreated, and I even hesitated and bent down to avoid his gaze.

"How about you, doll? How old are you?”

"T-twenty-five..." I whispered.

Lying is the most effective—

“She's lying, Lord. She's twenty years old. That's her real age," Luke said to the man.

I became pale because of what he said. How about him? I turned my gaze back to the man earlier and he was looking threateningly at me. I turned pale and wanted to throw up because of the intensity of fear and nervousness I was feeling.

"F*ck you," he whispered.

I only saw one emotion on his face after he checked all of the four women. Disappointed. That's what I see every time he finishes looking at all the girls until I'm the only one left.

"Come here," he ordered me.

But I didn't come closer to him and looked at Ria but surprisingly her face turned red and she couldn't look at me this time.

What is happening to Ria? Why does she seem shy? I didn't immediately approach the man when he called me, but I got stuck where I was standing.

“Doll!” he shouted with irritation.

But I didn't move even a bit. I heard him hissed before he removed his gloves and got the gun above the drawer and pointed it at me. I swallow my own saliva because of the terrible feeling while looking at his blank eyes.

“Luke, take them all out. Take them to their room and leave that doll to me." He even pointed her index finger in my direction.

The girls I was with did nothing but follow Luke. Ria also looked scared and did nothing. Until I was left alone here with this man staring intently at me, in other words at my body.

"Are you deaf?” He is fluent in English, but based on his appearance I know he is half-Filipino.

He isn't just Filipino because of his grey eyes and the shape of his face. As he wanted, I approached him. Since I was avoiding eye contact, I avoided his stare.

"You are not a virgin, Susana. How did you think I wouldn't recognize you because your eyes turned blue, and your complexion became white?" he said which startled me.

Suzanne has brown coloured eyes and dark complexion while I’m opposite to her. I have blue coloured eyes, pale as white complexion and these heart-shaped lips.

Does he know me? a questioning expression appeared on my face.

"Don't act like you don't know me! I know every part of your body! F*ck you for leaving our son, b*tch!” he said with a devilish smile and pulled me by the arm.

I was shocked because of what he did and I tried to push him but I couldn't because he was too strong. He is big and muscular, he is also tall and I'm just 5 '5. It is easy for him to corner me.

"Let's stop pretending that we don't know each other, shall we? How many men have been into you in the two years you've been missing, huh?" he blurted out.

"I don't understand you! Maybe Suzanne is the girl you're talking about!” I dared to shout at him.

But he only gave me a silly look before he forced me to lie on that bed.

"Aaah! Let go of me!" I screamed as his hands forcefully spread over my thighs.

He put both of my hands above my head and simply unbuckled his belt. I turned pale when I saw his big pet. That tremendous m*anhood has a lot of vein and big.

Is he trying to insert that thing in my… I fought back and wiggled my body to avoid his big pet when he tried to rub our sensitive part.

"Aaargh!" he softly groaned.

"Stop resisting me, Susana! We f*cking did this many times!" he growled at me.

"I'm not Suzanne! I-I'm her twin sir! Please don't!” I begged him.

"Stop lying! Our f*cking son!” He stopped for a moment and looked into my eyes.

"You f*cking abandoned him just because you're a slut! Don't f*cking fool me, Susana! Because you'll never fool me again!" he shouted at me, making me close my eyes.

"I'm not the woman you're looking for, Mr. I have a twin. Maybe you're talking about her! Her name is Suzanne! I don't even know you, Mr. Believe me I'm not her! I'm her twin!" I insist.

"Bullsh*t! Stop lying!”

I caught my breath when I felt him enter my hole. I felt like I was stabbed in that part. I couldn't breathe immediately because of the pain at his first entrance.

*G*damn it!" he whispered with regret.

"I-I told you… I’m not her." I murmured before closing my eyes.

I closed my eyes tightly and I was shaking before my vision completely darkened. But before I could open my eyes, I heard one last word he spoke.

"F*ck! Shit! Call the f*cking doctor now!”
