Chapter 1

[Dear, Dad needs surgery. The cost is....]

Sahra let out a sigh as she read the rest of the message.

How could she not be worried? Her mother had just told her that her father was suffering from kidney failure. As their only child, Sahra was the family's only hope for getting the money they needed.

But Sahra had no idea where she could possibly get such a large amount of money.

After all, she had only recently started working at a company as a cleaner. How could she possibly afford it?

“Where am I supposed to find the money for Dad's surgery?” Sahra cried out inwardly.

Overwhelmed by confusion and panic, Sahra continued walking until she accidentally noticed her boss sitting in his chair.

Yes, she was specifically assigned to clean the CEO's office.

She wanted to approach him and ask for help, but she hesitated.

“Should I really do this?”

Suddenly, Sahra's phone rang again. She quickly checked it, thinking the message was from her mother.

But it wasn't.

The message was from Yuli, her cousin, who had been letting Sahra stay at her home since she arrived in the capital.

[I’m at the police station. My lover’s wife reported me for adultery. Can you prepare the money to get me out of jail?]

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

After reading her cousin's message, Sahra's heart became even more troubled.

Why did all these problems have to come at once?

Sahra owed Yuli a great debt of gratitude. Although she did not approve of the way Yuli lived her life, Yuli had still been kind enough to let her stay in her home without asking for a single penny.

Yuli had even told her about the job opening at the company where Sahra now worked.

Holding back the fear in her heart, Sahra gathered her courage.

She approached Arya, her boss.

Slowly, Sahra walked toward him. Her heart was filled with hesitation, but her feet continued to carry her forward.

“Excuse me, Sir,” Sahra said nervously.

“What is it?” Arya asked.

Sahra hesitated to speak. She had only just started working at the company, and now she was already asking to borrow money. She could only stand there silently.

“Tell me what you want. I don't have much time for something pointless,” Arya said irritably as he watched Sahra standing there like a statue without saying a word.

He was about to get up from his chair.

“I need money for my parent's medical expenses,” Sahra finally said nervously.

She had no choice but to ask her boss for help.

“And? You just started working at this company, and you're already bold enough to ask me for money?” Arya said with a mocking expression.

“I'm sorry, Sir. I know I'm being presumptuous, but my father is sick and needs money for his surgery. Please, Sir. I beg you to help me,” Sahra pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

The innocent girl had no idea that her boss had been looking at her differently all this time.

“All right. I'll give you the money, but only if you're willing to sleep with me,” Arya said seriously.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Sahra was stunned by Arya's words. She stood there speechless.

Her entire body trembled. She had never expected her boss, who she knew was already married, to say something like that.

“I can't do that. Aren't you married, Mr. Arya? It isn't appropriate for you to say something like that to your employee,” Sahra said nervously, trying to gather the courage to speak up.

Arya suddenly burst into laughter. He stood up from his chair, approached Sahra, and whispered into her ear.

“If you don't want to sleep with me, I won't give you a single penny. You only have two choices: sleep with me and get the money, or let your father die. Make your choice.”

His voice was quiet, but his words sent chills down Sahra's spine.

“If you agree to sleep with me, I'll give you as much money as you want,” Arya whispered again.

“I can't possibly sleep with a married man,” Sahra cried out inwardly.

“Answer me, Sahra. I don't have all day to wait for your answer. I still have plenty of work to do,” Arya said, raising his voice at her.

Tears continued to stream down Sahra's cheeks.

She was torn over what decision to make, but she felt as though she had no other choice.

In the end, Sahra reluctantly accepted her boss's demand.

“All right, Sir,” she whispered, tears still falling from her eyes.

Hearing her answer, Arya smiled. He was delighted that Sahra had agreed to sleep with him. Finally, he would be able to satisfy his desires.

His wife was always busy with work and often had to travel out of town, leaving him feeling lonely and deprived of her attention and affection.

Arya was the owner of the company, and he often felt lonely because his wife frequently worked out of town, leaving him longing for her attention and touch.

“Good. That was the right decision, Sahra,” Arya said as he stared at her.

Sahra simply lowered her head.

Arya immediately took out his wallet, pulled out an ATM card, and handed it to Sahra.

“There is money in this account. Take as much as you need. But remember, you have to keep your word. Don't even think about going back on it. Remember, Sahra, I won't just fire you. I can also have you charged with multiple offenses. Do you understand?” Arya said as he handed her the ATM card.

After hearing his threat, Sahra hesitated to take the card. She was confused by what he had just said and continued staring at the ATM card.

Seeing Sahra hesitate, Arya took the card and slipped it into the pocket of her uniform.

“After this, you're coming with me. But I don't want anyone to see us walking together. I want you to wait for me at that intersection over there,” Arya ordered.

Sahra could only nod at his words before walking out of Arya's office.

She was overwhelmed by the decision she had just made.

How could she possibly sleep with a man who already had a wife?

But she felt as though she had no other choice.

“God, forgive me. I'm doing this for the person I love. I don't want to lose my father,” Sahra cried out inwardly, her heart aching.
