Chapter 144: Please... Please don't...

Scarlet bit her lips hard, drawing blood, trying to stay in control of her emotions. However, the urge to have sex with a man became stronger as the minutes passed.

She had never felt this way before, and it was driving her mad with lust. The throbbing pain of her nipples and her moist vagina made her want to tear her clothes apart and expose herself naked in front of everyone, which greatly horrified Scarlet.

"Hah... Hah... You pervert! I'd rather die than become yours!" Scarlet exclaimed through gritted teeth, but her resistance was futile.

Rick Cutler laughed at her statement. "Well then, Miss Scarlet, do tell me how you are going to die since you can't even move your limbs? Ha ha ha!"

"Oh... How pitiful of you, Scarlet! To think that you'd be so foolish and desperate as to even wish for death just to escape the embrace of the man who truly loves you! But don't worry, you won't die today, as I won't let you commit this foolish mistake of rejecting the beautiful fate of becoming Young Master Rick's woman." Cecil added.

"Yes, indeed. It is pointless for you to resist, Miss Scarlet, since the Lotus Blossom Elixir will ensure that you will lose yourself to sexual desires and cravings for a man's touch soon enough. However, there is no need to fret. I will make sure that you enjoy every second of our coupling while fulfilling your body's needs and wants to the fullest," Rick assured her, licking his lips lasciviously.

Scarlet groaned in frustration. She wanted to scream out loud and curse these two scumbags until they dropped dead, but she knew it was useless and would only amuse them more. The drug was already taking its toll on her body, making it harder for her to resist giving into temptation.

She cursed the heavens for letting things turn out like this. She never wanted to be in this position where she would have no choice but to surrender herself to someone else.

It was humiliating.

It was disgusting.

It was degrading.

Everything about her situation made her want to vomit out all the food in her stomach.

She wanted to cry.

But she refused to let them see how powerless and pathetic she felt.

No, she needed to hold on to that last thread of sanity for as long as she could.

As long as she didn't give in to her desires, she wouldn't become a slave to pleasure and end up being treated like some kind of object.

'No... Not yet... Please... Please don't let me give in... Please... Somebody...

"Young Master Rick, please don't leave me behind. I am also yearning for your touch. Will you not give me some attention too?" She pleaded.

Rick chuckled. "Alright then, Cecil, I shall grant your request after satisfying Miss Scarlet here first."

He turned his gaze towards Scarlet, whose breathing was heavy, and sweat covered her forehead from struggling against her urges so hard.

"Now then, Miss Scarlet, let's strip you off of that robe of yours so that I can admire your naked form, which would be like that of a goddess. Hehehe," he said, licking his lips hungrily before taking a step forward.

Scarlet's heart raced faster in anxiety as he approached her. 'No! I won't let him take me! Not like this! He will not touch me with those filthy hands!'

Her desperation increased as she watched Rick walk closer.

Each step he took toward her felt like a dagger piercing through her heart, filling her with dread.

Her mind flashed through many different scenarios, trying to think of a way out of this situation, but none came to mind.

She knew that she had to do something, or else there would be no hope left for her anymore.

Suddenly, she felt relaxed as she remembered something important she had forgotten about.

She had one last card up her sleeve that would allow her to escape this predicament.

She just didn't remember it at first due to how clouded her judgment became because of Cecil's betrayal, making it hard for her to think straight.

"Hah... Hah... You bastards!! I am going to make you regret doing this to me!" Scarlet shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice filled with rage.

At the same time, she used her mind to send a mental message to a special artifact that was an earring in her left ear to activate it.

It was a one-time-use artifact that Scarlet purchased just because she felt it was pretty, and she was glad that she had bought it in a moment of impulse.

The earring glowed faintly as it received her message, then exploded with bright light and disappeared in a flash along with Scarlet herself, making her vanish from that spot.

It was so sudden that Rick and Cecil stared wide-eyed at where Scarlet had disappeared, shocked by what had happened in an instant.
