"Mother! No!" Monet's voice broke as she watched the men drag her mother away. Left alone, clutching the rusted knife once more, the weight of the world seemed to crash down on her tiny shoulders. The room, already a symbol of their suffering, now felt like a prison of despair.

Suddenly, a sharp kick sent Monet flying, crashing against the metal sheets that formed their home's walls. The impact left her gasping for breath, and her body crumpled on the cold floor.

The leader and his goons watched in surprise as Monet's father, stumbling and furious, rushed toward the fallen child. His drunken rage knew no bounds.

"You little bitch!" he roared, grabbing Monet by her hair and yanking her up. "Where's the food? What have you been doing here all this time?" His fists pounded into Monet's small frame, his kicks landing with a brutality that seemed almost inhuman. His drunkenness made him lose all semblance of restraint as he beat the girl mercilessly.

Just as the drunken man raised his fist for another punch, a strong arm caught his wrist. He turned, stunned, to find the leader's cruel eyes locking onto him.

"What the hell are you doing? I have already given you what I had promised." The drunken man's voice was a venomous whisper, and his gaze was cold and unforgiving.

The drunken man tried to push the leader away, but the leader's grip was ironclad. "Nope, nope! Not so fast, you asshole!" The leader's voice was edged with menace. "You took ten thousand berries from me, promising a mother and an infant. But it seems like you've given me a faulty product."

The leader gestured toward the lifeless body of Monet's mother. "So you better pay me back right now, you bastard!" His voice was dangerous, making Monet's father shiver with fear.

"But... but I already gave her to you. It's not my fault she's dead!" The drunken man stammered, his desperation making him incoherent. His gaze darted to his wife's corpse, then back to the leader. He had already squandered most of the money on gambling and drinking.

"Wait... wait!" he roared in desperation. "The kid, the kid must still be alive!" Stumbling, he grabbed the rusted knife from the floor and, to Monet's horror, began slicing open his dead wife's belly. Blood gushed out, the grotesque scene making even the burly goons sick. But the leader watched with a perverse delight, savoring the unfolding horror.

Monet's world shattered. Her mind froze in shock as the blood pooled around her, staining her small face. Her mother's body was desecrated in the most brutal way; the sight was so horrific that it left Monet paralyzed, unable to comprehend the cruelty before her.

Then, the loud, piercing wail of the newborn filled the room. The cruel man extracted the baby from the cold, dead body of Monet's mother. With shaking hands, he handed the blood-stained infant over to the leader.

"Here... here, the baby is alive. That should cover the money," he said with madness in his eyes. The leader chuckled darkly, his satisfaction evident.

"I have the infant," the leader said, gesturing for one of his goons to take the baby. The goon accepted it reluctantly, but the leader's gaze was not yet satisfied. "But I paid you for both a mother and a child."

Panic washed over the drunken man's face. His eyes darted around desperately before landing on Monet, who was huddled on the floor, her body trembling with fear.

"The girl," the leader said coldly, "take the little bitch. She'll fetch quite a bit if you sell her. She's untainted. I'm sure you can pay me extra if I sell her to you. I'm sure she'll be worth more than this bitch's mother." He kicked the cold corpse, a cruel smirk on his face.

The leader's eyes shifted to Monet with a glint of interest. "How did I miss that?" he thought, observing Monet's fragile form. "Yes, the girl will surely grow into a beauty. She'll fetch a high price at auction."

Monet's heart sank as the leader's gaze settled on her. Her entire world had been ripped apart, and now, the prospect of being sold into a future as bleak as her past seemed almost too much to bear. Her mind raced, trying to find some way out, but the oppressive fear and despair made it hard to think.

As the leader's goon closed in, Monet clutched the rusted knife once more, not as a weapon but as a small semblance of defiance against the relentless cruelty of her world. The room, once filled with the echoes of her mother's final moments, now became a grim stage for her own uncertain future. The leader's cruel laughter echoed in her ears, a haunting reminder of the darkness she faced.

In that moment of horror, Monet felt a cold resolve take root. Though she was a child surrounded by cruelty and despair, she would not let this be the end. She would fight for her survival, for her sister's future, and for a chance at something better, even in the face of unimaginable darkness.

Despite her resolve, Monet was powerless against the goons. One of them casually pried the rusted knife from her trembling hand and tossed it aside before lifting her broken form with brutish ease. Monet could do nothing but cry out in muffled sobs, her small body barely registering the pain of being handled like a ragdoll.

The leader, with a cruel smile, nonchalantly tossed a few crumpled notes and a handful of coins onto the blood-stained floor, where they mingled with the crimson stains of her mother's blood.

"That should be more than enough to cover the girl's price," he said, his voice dripping with malice. He chuckled darkly as he watched the drunken man scramble to gather the money.

The drunken man, his greed outweighing any concern for Monet's fate, immediately dropped to his knees, eagerly snatching up the scattered money. His hands fumbled with the crumpled bills and coins as he stuffed them into his pockets.

"Yes! Yes, this should be more than enough!" he exclaimed, his voice slurred with satisfaction.

The leader's laughter was cold and mocking. "It surely was a pleasure doing business with you," he said, his tone laced with cruel amusement. With a final, contemptuous glance at the scene of devastation, he turned on his heel and made his way towards the door.

His two goons followed, their footsteps heavy and indifferent as they left the shabby house behind. The leader's laughter echoed in the narrow, grimy streets as he headed towards the largest auction house in the city. It was a place where the most depraved nobles gathered—a haven for those with the darkest desires, ready to spend fortunes on the most unspeakable goods.

"You are sure to make me a rich and happy man," the leader cackled as he directed his gaze at Monet, his voice full of twisted delight. The anticipation in his words was palpable as he imagined the profit he would make from the sale of Monet. He reveled in the thought of the high bids and the satisfaction of his buyers—the idea of her suffering turning into his reward.

Monet regained consciousness, her senses dragging her painfully back to reality. Her body felt bruised and battered, each movement causing a fresh wave of agony. She opened her eyes to a world that was both unfamiliar and horrifyingly opulent.

The room was a stark contrast to the grim surroundings of her past life. The walls were draped in rich, deep crimson velvet that cascaded elegantly from the ceiling. The opulence of the room was illuminated by a grand chandelier, its crystal pendants casting a kaleidoscope of light that danced across the polished mahogany floor.

Antique furniture, elaborately carved and gilded, filled the space—its grandeur was both alluring and oppressive. A massive four-poster bed, draped in silk sheets and adorned with heavy, ornate carvings, loomed in one corner of the room. Nearby, a grand mirror with a gold frame reflected the unsettling scene, its surface revealing the stark contrast between Monet's innocence and the room's decadence.

Fear crept into Monet's soul as she absorbed the grandeur of her surroundings. The luxurious decor was a stark reminder of the rumors she had heard—the tales of noblemen buying children for their darkest desires. The realization hit her like a physical blow. She had been sold, her fate sealed by the vile whims of those who wielded power and wealth. The lavish room was a grim testament to the reality of her situation.

A sudden creak drew her attention, and she turned to see the door swinging open. A young woman in her mid-twenties stepped in, her face etched with worry and dread. She wore a simple but elegant maid's uniform, her posture conveying both urgency and deep-seated sorrow. As she closed the door behind her, the quiet click of the latch was a somber reminder of the isolation Monet felt.

The maid hurried to Monet's side, her eyes filled with a deep, compassionate understanding of the grim fate that awaited this little girl. She had seen enough in her time working on this estate to know what was coming.

The nobleman who owned this estate, Lord Reginald, was known for his grotesque predilections. Over the past two years, the maid has witnessed more than fifty young girls disappear after being subjected to unspeakable horrors. Only a few who managed to meet the man's depraved standards were spared and kept as his so-called "prized possessions," while the rest were discarded like broken toys.

As she knelt beside Monet, her heart weighed heavy with regret and sorrow. She had heard whispers of the nobleman's latest acquisition—a child bought for an exorbitant price at the auction. The grim knowledge that Monet was now entangled in this cycle of cruelty was almost too much to bear.

Tears streamed down Monet's face as she looked up at the maid. "Where am I? Where is my sister?" she whispered, her voice breaking with anguish.

The maid's face softened with empathy, though she knew that the truth would offer little comfort. "You're at Lord Reginald's estate," she said, her voice trembling. "He—he bought you from the auction. I'm so sorry." She paused, struggling to find the words to explain the reality that awaited Monet. "Your sister... she's—"

Her voice faltered, the words choked by the horror of the situation. The maid's gaze dropped to the floor, unable to face the full impact of her confession. She reached out, placing a comforting hand on Monet's shoulder, her touch gentle but laden with the weight of the grim reality.

The maid quickly pulled out a small knife concealed inside her dress and addressed Monet. "Child, I cannot truly help you escape from the monster. This is the only way I can help—to spare you from what's coming. The choice is yours to make."

Monet's eyes widened, her heart pounding in her chest. The maid's words sank in, but another thought overpowered her fear. "My sister... what happened to my sister? I cannot leave her behind." Monet's voice trembled, torn between the maid's kindness and her duty to her infant sibling.

She understood the mercy the maid was offering—better to end her life than to be ravaged by a monster. But the idea of her little sister suffering alone in this cruel world made her blood run cold.

The maid sighed, her own eyes welling with tears. "It's always the innocents that suffer," she whispered, a single tear slipping down her cheek. Steeling herself, she knew she couldn't risk her own family to grant this child mercy.

"If you truly want to save your sister, then you must serve the master well. As long as you can keep him satisfied, he will grant you some of your wishes," she said, her face tear-stained and filled with sorrow. "I will leave the knife with you just in case. Hide it under the pillow," she urged, and Monet reluctantly took the knife, concealing it beneath the velvet pillow.

"Take care," the maid whispered. "I must go; no one should be here in your room. I'm sorry this happened to you, little one. Just try to endure. The more you satisfy him, the more fond he will grow of you. If you truly want to walk out of here alive, he is your only option. If not, your only other choice is..." She directed her gaze at the velvet pillow, a silent reminder of the knife hidden beneath it.

Monet's mind raced, the weight of her decisions pressing heavily on her young shoulders. The lavish room around her felt like a prison; each ornate detail was a cruel mockery of her plight.

The chandelier's light seemed dim, unable to chase away the darkness of her new reality. As the maid slipped out of the room, Monet was left alone with her thoughts, her fear, and the cold, hard knife beneath her pillow—a small token of power in a world that had stolen all control from her.

She clutched the pillow, feeling the blade's presence, and took a deep breath. Her thoughts turned to Sugar, the little sister she had vowed to protect. The path ahead was fraught with unimaginable horrors, but for her sister's sake, Monet knew she had to endure. The maid's words echoed in her mind, mingling with her own resolve. She would survive this nightmare, not just for herself, but for the sister who depended on her.

The maid carefully stepped out of the room, her tear-stained face twisting into a cruel smirk as she made her way toward the master's study. Each step she took was calculated, her heart racing with anticipation of the reward awaiting her. Reaching the door, she knocked lightly.

"Come in," a gruff voice sounded from inside. The maid entered, closing the door softly behind her. Sitting behind an ornate mahogany desk was Lord Reginald, a plump man whose opulence was evident in his lavish attire.

His jowls quivered as he shifted, his beady eyes lighting up with a sick smile as the maid approached. His thinning hair was slicked back, and his fingers, adorned with jeweled rings, drummed impatiently on the desk.

"Is it done?" he asked urgently, his voice a raspy whisper of excitement. He struggled to pick himself up, his massive girth making the movement cumbersome. The maid rushed to support him, her hands sliding under his arm to help him stand.

Their closeness was palpable, the way her body pressed against his revealed a relationship far more intimate than that of master and servant. Reginald's plump hands roved over her body, groping and grabbing, eliciting soft moans of pleasure from the maid.

"Yes, Master," she said with a mad glee, her eyes glittering with the same twisted anticipation.

"The girl is ready, and from the looks of it, she will cooperate willingly."

What little Monet didn't know was that the maid was one of Lord Reginald's most loyal servants, sharing in his depraved desires. Her suggestion to manipulate the young girls into offering themselves willingly had been a stroke of malicious genius.

The nobleman detested the crying and whining of the little girls he had to force himself upon, and the maid's plan ensured they would come to him with submission rather than resistance.

Reginald's chubby fingers traced the maid's cheek as he let out a satisfied chuckle. "Excellent. You've done well, my dear. The pleasure of a willing victim is far sweeter than one taken by force."

The maid's eyes glowed with perverse pride. "Thank you, Master. I live to serve you." Her voice dripped with a mixture of devotion and madness, a perfect reflection of the twisted relationship they shared.

Reginald's room was a testament to his depravity. The rich velvet drapes, the plush carpets, and the intricately carved furniture—all spoke of wealth and power, but there was an underlying darkness. The dim light from the chandelier cast eerie shadows, accentuating the grotesque paintings on the walls depicting scenes of debauchery and excess.

As the maid helped Reginald settle back into his chair, she couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. She knew that tonight, Monet's fate would be sealed, and her master's insatiable appetite would be sated once more. The two of them reveled in their shared sickness, each act of cruelty and manipulation drawing them closer together in their depravity.

Reginald's eyes gleamed as he thought of the night ahead. "Prepare the room. I want everything to be perfect."

"Of course, Master," the maid replied, her voice a purr of compliance. She exited the study, her mind already racing with the preparations she needed to make. As she walked through the halls, her smirk grew wider. Little Monet had no idea of the horrors that awaited her, nor the depths of depravity shared by the nobleman and his devoted maid.

In the grand mansion, hidden behind a facade of aristocratic splendor, the true monsters thrived, feeding off the innocence of those unfortunate enough to cross their path. And tonight, Monet would learn just how cruel and twisted the world could be.

Reginald stood in the lavishly decorated bedroom, towering over little Monet, who had been dressed in a beautiful pink frock. The room was opulent, adorned with rich tapestries, intricate woodwork, and a chandelier casting a soft, golden glow. The contrast between the room's luxury and the dark intent of its occupant was stark and unsettling.

Reginald placed his plump hands gently on Monet's shoulders, licking his lips as his eyes filled with depravity. His anticipation was evident in his ragged breath. However, Monet stood strong, her little sister's life flashing before her eyes. If what the maid had said was true, she had a chance to save her sister, even at the cost of her own innocence.

The nobleman was delighted. His maid had done a tremendous job; normally, even girls who were convinced would cry, but this girl stood with a smile on her face, which made his dark desires rile up even more.

"I have a request," Monet gulped, placing her own hand over his plump hands. Her eyes darted to the velvet pillow momentarily, where the small knife was hidden, but then she resolved herself. She knew she had to play this carefully.

"I will do anything... I just... I just want your help saving my sister. Can you do that?" She asked, her voice trembling slightly but still carrying a determined edge.

Reginald's eyes gleamed with a mad grin. "Anything! Anything for you, my love. As long as you satisfy all my desires, I can grant any of your wishes," he said, his voice dripping with perverse delight. His hands moved with practiced ease, undressing Monet slowly. Each movement was deliberate, savoring the moment.

Silent tears fell from Monet's eyes, but she gritted her teeth. She forced herself to endure, to focus on the hope of saving her sister. Reginald's fingers traced around her naked body, exploring with a grotesque fascination. Every touch made her skin crawl, but she remained resolute.

The nobleman's breath quickened as he continued, his excitement palpable. "You're a brave girl, aren't you? So willing to sacrifice for your sister. I admire that," he whispered, his voice husky with lust.

Monet's mind raced, trying to stay strong. She needed to survive this night, to ensure her sister's safety. The maid's words echoed in her mind: satisfy him, and he will grant your wishes. As revolting as it was, she knew this was her only chance.

Reginald's grip tightened, and he pulled her closer, his eyes darkening with desire. Monet closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. She had to endure this for Sugar. For her sister, she would bear the unbearable.
