Chapter 1

During a layover, I was invited to a casino opening.

I never expected to run into my sister Lily in this glittering den of luxury and vice.

A corpulent man had his arm wrapped around her waist. Nearly everyone had gathered around them.

Her fiancé Carter was showing the crowd high-definition videos of Lily on his iPad, playing them on a loop.

"Lily, Zoe's underwear is pure silk. You should consider yourself lucky she only asked you to hand wash them. How dare you refuse?" His tone was contemptuous, his gaze sharp.

"Why should I have to wash her period-stained underwear?" Lily bit her lip, her body trembling with anger.

"I didn't realize you'd grown such a backbone. Maybe I need to break that stubborn spirit of yours. I have twelve videos of you here. In them, you're begging me and calling me 'master', remember?"

Lily clenched her fists so tightly her palms nearly bled.

I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, observing everything happening at the gambling tables below through narrowed eyes.

Since when did these lowlifes dare to bully my sister?
