136:Departure

A girl woke up late in the morning, a sweet ache crept into her bones, and as she tried to sit up, a jolt of pain from her lower body shook her nerves. It was then when she recollected the memories of her last night that flooded into her mind and her head started aching.

Tears pooled up in her eyes when she looked down at the sheets. Her frail body started shaking in guilt, anger, helplessness, and pain.

It took all her effort to get up from the bed but she staggered and was about to fall when a pair of warm hands supported her.

"Had a good rest?"A handsome young man appeared as he supported her, put her on the bed, and sat beside her.

Her adolescent heart started beating again with very vague expectations. The moment those thoughts surfaced, she felt disgusted with herself.

'How can I have such dirty thoughts? Selling myself for money again...'

"Claire!"

Her body quivered, as a hand caressed her soft greenish hair.
