Oni noticed that Chloe was looking at her skeptically.
"You don't seem to believe me, so let me tell you something...", Oni made a dramatic pause before continuing, "Approximately four years ago, I was in a basement, about to be sold to whoever was willing to pay, either to work as a house help or in the field. I prayed to be picked for hard labor because then I won't be close to lecherous masters who might want to use me for their entertainment. I have no idea where I would be now if Sarah and Aiden didn't show up and got us out of that dark place."
Chloe's mouth hung open. She never imagined that Oni had such a past.
"I was in that same basement.", Nala said, shocking Chloe even more.
