Sold To The Ruthless Young Master

Victoria Addam arrives at Ruthner's residence to settle her father's debts, only to encounter an unexpected proposal from Helio Ruthner. He desires her as his companion, which Victoria naturally declines. Unbeknownst to her, this refusal leads to a drastic turn of events, as Helio assigns her the lowest position in the household, subjecting her to a living nightmare. Helio's behavior raises concerns for Victoria's safety, prompting her to make the difficult decision to escape. She returns to her roots, seeking assistance from those she trusts. However, the harsh reality awaits her - her father had sold her to the Ruthner family, and her boyfriend is involved with her beloved sister. Struggling to cope with these betrayals, Victoria hits rock bottom. To her surprise, Helio approaches her with a proposition for revenge. He offers, "Become my woman, and you'll have the power to avenge them all. Understand, this comes at the cost of a life filled with torment." Feeling disillusioned and desperate, Victoria responds, "Perhaps there's something off about you, and you've already made my life unbearable. But I no longer care – use me, make me your woman, and together we'll face this." This passage recounts Victoria's plight and her surprising acceptance of a dark bargain for redemption and retribution.
