As someone who has been striving alone in the provincial capital, I finally saved enough money for the down payment on a house. However, my mother and younger brother from my hometown opposed my plan to buy a house. When they came to the provincial capital, I discovered that behind my mother and brother's opposition was actually my brother's girlfriend, who was the one "planning" against me! Is my family really not supposed to be a "brother-savior"? Why do my mother and brother want me to give up on buying a house for myself and instead use my money to help my brother buy a house and get married? It seems that this is all some scheme orchestrated by my brother's girlfriend. My money didn't come easy; it didn't just blow in with the wind! My family isn't made up of people that anyone can bully! Everything changed when I returned to my hometown...
I came from a small county town, and through my own efforts over the years, I had finally managed to establish myself in a big city like Rethuesia.
Although I was already twenty-seven and still unmarried, But I did have a few admirers.
I was not the type of woman who relied on men. This might be because my father passed away when I was young, and my mother favored my younger brother, leaving me to rely on myself to get to where I was today.
So, I had made up my mind to pay the down payment for a house myself in the coming months, right here in Rethuesia, a place where I never imagined I would belong.
I had almost saved enough for the down payment, and now I was just waiting for the property I liked to be listed.
I shared my plan to buy a house in Rethuesia with my mother back home, and at first, she agreed. But who would have thought that a week later, my mother called again.
On the phone, she completely changed her attitude and began to strongly oppose my plan to buy a house here, even breaking down in tears over the phone.
I was very confused, wondering what could have caused my mother's attitude to change so dramatically.
When I went to the train station to pick up my mother and others, who had come to Rethuesia specifically to stop me, I finally understood. It was all orchestrated by my brother's girlfriend!
My father passed away unexpectedly when I was in my first year of high school. My mother, an ordinary laborer little formal education, raised my brother and me on her own.
Since my father's death, I became exceptionally mature. This wasn't just my own assessment, but what the neighbors in our county town praised.
From my first year of high school, I started doing odd jobs in the town to earn some tuition money. Later, I got into a university in Rethuesia and left my hometown. After graduating, I chose to stay in Rethuesia.
I started at the bottom rung of the company ladder, and step by step, I worked my way up to become the department supervisor. This was all achieved through my relentless hard work, earning me the nickname "the relentless worker" at the company.
I didn't care about nicknames; as long as I could make money, that was all that matters. After all, I worked to earn money, not to make friends.
The reason I wanted to buy a house was to bring my mother to live with me. After all, she had spent all those years taking care of me and my brother on her own, which had been incredibly tough for her.
My brother was four years younger than me and now worked at an office in our hometown. This job was stable but his income was rather modest. Because my brother's situation wasn't as good as mine, I wanted to bring my mother to enjoy a more comfortable life with me.
I thought my plan was perfect, but who knew that at this crucial moment, the problem would arise with my mother? This was the one part that should never have gone wrong.
I was at the station to pick up my mother, along with my brother and his girlfriend.
My brother's girlfriend was quite tall, probably around 5'6", and she was quite attractive. But her thin lips made me think that she must be the type of person with a harsh personality.
"Vivian Willis, this is your brother's girlfriend, Jolene Douglas," my mother introduced her with a smile.
I returned the smile and nodded at Jolene, greeting her.
But my brother seemed displeased, saying, "Vivian, what's going on? Jolene came all this way with us, and you're being so cold. What's that supposed to mean?"
As I listened to my brother's complaints, I felt a surge of anger inside. Did he really think I didn't know it was this Jolene who manipulated things, influenced my mother to completely change her attitude towards me buying a house?
And he still expected me to be warm and welcoming to her?

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
