Chapter 63 Where am I? Who are you?
Zinan could only sit quietly, staring at Camilla, still asleep on her bed, her hands and feet bound in chains. He kept thinking about how to end his father's madness, and he was already very tired of the path his father had taken.
It all started when he turned twenty, when his father ordered him to enter an environment he hated. Yes... a school environment, and it was a place where many people would naturally gather.
Not only did he have to enter the school, but he was also tasked with supervising four children younger than himself: Danieru and Leoni, who were sixteen at the time, Hatsu, who was seventeen, and Camilla, who was just about to turn fifteen.
At first, it was just a matter of monitoring and keeping track of what was happening in the neighborhood. He also had to report on each child's activities and the most interesting things in their lives each day.
Everything went smoothly, and he quite enjoyed the job after speaking directly with Camilla. Well... they collided on Camilla's first day at school, and he also saw the sweet, beautiful face of Alistair's daughter.
But... just as he wanted to keep an eye on her for a while longer, the day arrived. Camilla's mother came to school and announced the invitation to Camilla's grand birthday party, and how foolish he was to report such a thing to her father.
Zinan immediately stood up, unable to remember his father's plans to disrupt the event. He was even shocked when all the high-ranking and mid-level executives were ordered to monitor the venue.
In the days that followed, on Camilla's birthday, everyone who had been mobilized worked diligently. What should have been a happy day turned into hell for Camilla, and that day also saw the death of Leoni Malaike.
Everything had been planned from the start, every scene meticulously orchestrated. Leoni was to die, Camilla was to be taken away, Danieru Malaike was to suffer serious injuries, and then the strained relationship between Alistair and Malaike's families.
Zinan took a deep breath. He still remembered when his father sent him to aid Hatsu, and the man's father threatened the Malaike family leader.
And as predicted, Danieru's grandfather quickly agreed to become a puppet for Hatsu and his father, along with the Xrezone family as his backer. And this was all to save Danieru's life, which was already in jeopardy. All of Danieru's memories were erased, and he completely lost all memory and couldn't remember who he was, what he was like, who his relatives or friends were, and even his own name. Danieru had been living a complete lie, all for his own safety.
Zinan thought his father's madness would end, and when he learned that Camilla would be his father's guinea pig, he quickly took the lead. He overheard his father ordering men to destroy Camilla, and he came to replace them.
That night, he raped Camilla, wearing a mask and creating terrible memories for her. He wasn't the only one involved; several people were also ordered to rape Camilla along with him. Every day, Camilla would receive injections of an aphrodisiac that also served as a stamina enhancer during sex.
For five months, Camilla endured terrible things; she was sexually abused almost daily, and he himself participated in it. In the sixth month, he ordered the others to stop; only he could touch her at that time, and this happened because feelings of love had begun to take root in his heart.
As the sixth month approached, he used Camilla as a means of gratifying his lust, and he stopped when he heard the news that she was pregnant. He knew it was his child, but his father cruelly told him that he had succeeded in destroying Camilla.
After Camilla was found pregnant, and when he wanted to keep the child, his father wanted Camilla to die with the child in her womb.
Zinan smiled bitterly. He had begged his father not to do this, but he received no response. His father said that the descendants of the Xrezone family were not worthy of being born to a family that was at odds with Hatsu and his father.
He was completely helpless at the time; Camilla's pregnancy was no longer viable. And just as Camilla was near death, an attack by unknown assailants struck, destroying the mansion they occupied, and her mother became a victim.
Those men came to save Camilla, and they were also members of a mafia group arguably even larger than her father's. He saw with his own eyes the figure of the Golden Snake leader, who appeared half-snake.
That day, he lost three things: his mother, Camilla, and the child in Camilla's womb. His father was cruel, wasn't he? In one day, he lost three joys, and the man who became his father didn't share the regret and pain he felt.
Zinan stopped his reverie and immediately stood in front of the window, staring out. The rain had stopped, and morning had arrived.
"AAAAAA!!!"
Zinan, who had just been enjoying the view, immediately looked back and saw Camilla had woken up from her deep sleep the night before.
“Where am I? Who are you?”
Zinan immediately stepped toward Camilla, smiling when she looked startled. “Long time no see, Camilla. How are you?”
“Zi-zinan? Aren't you... aren't you the gigolo from last night?” Camilla, who hadn't expected this, was even more shocked. How could she be in a different room than hers and Danieru's? And... why was she in a strange room, with a gigolo she had hired several times before. How could all this happen?
Camilla moved her arms, but unfortunately, both of them were already shackled. Camilla looked down at her feet, and at that very moment, she cursed her sleeping habits. She should have been able to wake up when a stranger approached her, even if it took her away from home.
“Let go! I have to go home immediately.” Camilla glared, sensing danger. Fear gripped her, and at that moment, cold sweat poured from her pores.
“I-I beg you... let me go... let me go!” Camilla felt the man's gaze was terrifying now, very different from the gaze she had received when she hired Zinan to satisfy her lust.
“Who-who are you? W-what... what do you want to do to me?” Camilla's face was deathly pale, her body trembling with fear, and let's not forget her eyes were already welling up with tears.
“I won't be rude, I will protect you. Camilla, listen to me carefully.”
Camilla swallowed hard, tears welling up in her eyes. She was crying, so terrified she couldn't react. Her mind flashed back to the kidnapping, the moment she inhaled the scents around her... and then her heart pounded erratically.
“Go away!” Camilla struggled, trying to free herself from the shackles on her hands and feet. She remembered the scent all around her, knowing full well that it was the signature scent of the place that had once been her hell. The scent of forest orchids was quite overpowering.
Zinan, who knew Camilla remember her fear, remained silent. The man stared at her, unsmiling, only to observe Camilla's tears continue to fall.
Why did it hurt? He never thought Camilla would feel this way right now.
"Let go!" Camilla was still crying, her voice trembling and her body trembling.
"Camilla, what's making you so scared?" Zinan asked in a low voice.
"DADDY...DADDY...DADDY..." Camilla closed her eyes, ignoring his words.
"Camilla..." Zinan felt sad as Camilla looked increasingly frightened.
"DANIERU! HELP... HELP ME!" Camilla's voice was loud, she couldn't move her body. She felt as if her bones were no longer functioning, and her tears flowed even more.
Zinan felt even more guilty; Camilla looked so miserable now. He quickly let go of Camilla, doing so to calm her down.
"Daddy...dad...help me. Daddy...I'm scared."
Zinan paused for a moment, then opened the door and left the room. The man closed the door, then leaned back and closed his eyes.
“Danieru!”
Camilla's voice rang out again, and even her moans were echoing. Zinan pounded his chest, feeling all the wailing like a knife cutting deeper into his heart.
“Let go! I want to go home…”
Zinan took a deep breath, gasping for breath. “I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Camilla.”
“Father... sob... I want to go home!”
Zinan's body slumped, he sat in front of the bedroom door and rested his head against it. His eyes were closed, he was enduring the pain that was tearing at his heart. The regret of having hurt Camilla was growing more bitter, and his failure to protect her made his throat feel tight.
“Young Master, is there anything we can do?” asked one of the three men who had just arrived nearby.
Zinan raised his head. “Call the doctor, let them give Camilla a sedative.”
Zinan stood up immediately after saying that. He now needed to calm himself. He really needed to mend his heart properly; now wasn't the time to lament all the sorrow and pain of the past.
He pointed towards the back of the mansion, wanting to think clearly at his mother's grave. Usually, this worked well for him; by talking to his mother, he could make decisions and find the right path that had always been right.
Zinan didn't want things to get chaotic again, so he had to act quickly and make a decision very quickly.
