In a small, quiet town, in the middle of a vast expanse of grassland, there lived a girl named Mila. He is an orphan who lives with his cruel stepmother, having lost both his parents in a tragic accident several years ago. His own mother had died some time afterward from an incurable disease. Mila remembers her mother with great love, as someone who was full of affection and always looked after her well.
However, after her mother's death, Mila's life changed drastically. Her stepfather, a hard and cold man, treated her cruelly. He often scolds and punishes Mila unfairly for trivial reasons. Even so, Mila tries to survive and live her life with patience and hope.
One day, when Mila was cleaning their luxurious living room, her stepfather suddenly called her in a loud voice. "Mila, come here now!" he shouted.
Mila went down the stairs carefully, looking at her stepfather worriedly. "Yes, Sir?" he asked in a soft voice.
"Mr. Alex will come to pick you up," said his stepfather without any expression on his face. "He has agreed to buy you from me."
Hearing those words, Mila felt like the world had suddenly collapsed around her. He never imagined that his stepfather would just sell him to someone. He felt abandoned, destroyed, and had nowhere to go.
Not long after, a handsome and dignified middle-aged man entered their house. He is Mr. Alex, a wealthy businessman who is famous for his cruelty towards his workers and the people around him. Mr. Alex looked at Mila with a cold and expressionless gaze, as if he was just looking at a piece of something he had just bought.
"Is this what you said you were going to sell me?" Mr. Alex asked his stepfather in a low voice.
"Yes," answered his stepfather nonchalantly. "She's yours now, Alex. She's just a burden on me."
Hearing those words made Mila feel like a beggar. He never expected his stepfather to sell him like cheap goods. But he was too afraid to go against his stepfather's wishes. Just hope to survive a bad life.
Without waiting for an answer from her stephusband, her stepfather, that shows that
Mr. Alex stepped closer to Mila with steady steps, making her feel smaller and more vulnerable than before. He felt like a sheep ready to be eaten by wolves.
"Mr. Alex," said his stepfather in a gruff tone, "this is Mila, the girl I said I would sell you. She can do anything you ask."
Mila lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Mr. Alex. She felt the man's cold and sharp gaze tracing over her body, making her tremble and fear.
"Stay here, Mila," ordered Mr. Alex in a firm voice. "Starting tomorrow, you will start working for me."
Mila just nodded slightly in response. He felt like he had been kicked and trampled by an inevitable fate. He couldn't deny that his life was in Mr. Alex's hands now, and he had to obey him if he wanted to survive.
The days passed quickly at Mr. Alex's house. Mila is used to heavy household tasks and a tight schedule. Mr. Alex is never satisfied with Mila's work, often giving her harsh reprimands or physical punishment if she makes the slightest mistake.
One day, when Mila was cleaning Mr. Alex's room, she accidentally dropped a bottle of expensive perfume. The bottle shattered into small pieces on the floor, and the sweet scent of luxurious perfume spread through the air.
Mr. Alex heard a commotion from the next room and quickly came over. He looked at the broken perfume bottle on the floor, and his face flushed with anger.
"Mila!" he shouted in a booming voice. "What have you done? This perfume is very precious and cannot be replaced!"
Mila lowered her head, standing in front of Mr. Alex tremblingly. "Sorry, Mr. Alex, I didn't mean to break it. It accidentally fell off the table..."
"There's no forgiveness for mistakes like this!" Mr. Alex interrupted in a rough voice. "You should learn to be more careful and treat my things with respect!"
He didn't care that Mila was just a young girl who had never been given proper teaching or education. For him, Mila is just a tool to serve his desires and selfishness.
After that, Mila felt even worse in Mr. Alex's house. He missed the warmth and affection he once felt from his biological mother. Every day, he prayed for a chance to escape this increasingly miserable life.
Several months passed, and Mila found the opportunity to talk to another maid, Clara, who had worked at Mr. Alex's house longer than her. Clara is a friendly and caring woman, although she is also often the victim of verbal violence from Mr. Alex.
"Mila," Clara said one day while they were both working in the kitchen, "you know, I never chose this life either. But we have to stay strong and find a way to get out of here."
Mila looked at Clara with eyes full of hope. "How can we escape from here, Clara? Mr. Alex is always watching our every move."
Clara nodded seriously. "We have to make a plan. Maybe there is a way to escape while Mr. Alex is not at home. We have to try."
Their plans gradually began to take shape. They steal loose change from Mr. Alex's wallet left on the table, keep snacks from the kitchen for supplies, and find out about a safe exit route. Mila was nervous, but also excited to have the opportunity to be free from bondage in Master Alex's house.
One night, when they were sure Mr. Alex was sleeping, Mila and Clara took a big step. They slipped out of the house carefully, creeping through dark doors and hallways, hoping no one would hear them.
However, bad luck chased them again. When they almost reached the exit fence, Mr. Alex suddenly appeared from behind and caught them with his cold hands.
