Prologue
"Hello, somebody help me, please! Anybody, can you hear me?" I called out, my voice echoing in the confined space.
"Keep your mouth shut and remain calm. No one can hear you," a gruff voice responded.
"Please, where am I? Why am I being tied up? I need to go back to my husband and family," I pleaded with my vision blurry.
The short, bald man gave a long, mocking laugh. "Husband? The same husband who has rejected you and sold you out?"
"Sold? What do you mean sold? He would never do that," I said, my voice shaking.
"You have been sold, and you are going to meet your new owner. So stop screaming and preserve your strength. I will bring you food later." With that, he left.
I sank to the floor as tears flooded my eyes....
Being sold for the second time, here I was, tied up in a container on a ship in the middle of an ocean, heading to an unknown destination.
The only thing I could remember was driving to the office to meet up with Carl for the investors meeting when a car ran into mine, causing my car to somersault.
Because of my negligence and rushing to get to the office, I forgot to wear a seatbelt. I was ejected from the car, landing hard on the ground.
I struggled desperately to rise but was devoid of strength, my whole body throbbing with pain until I became unconscious. Only to wake up and find myself here.
