Anthony •

Your father was heavily in debt. He didn't work anywhere, often drank, and took drugs. You endured beatings from him, along with accusations that you were the reason he owed so much. Your mother was gone; she had died because she also drank and took out loans, which were then transferred to your father, increasing the debt even further. You understood that you would have to endure this for the rest of your life, but...

Your father decided to sell you to the person he owed. Anthony Linton. When you tried to refuse, he hit you, taped your mouth and eyes, and tied your hands and feet. You were terrified. You tried to struggle, but it didn't help. Your father threw you into the car—specifically, into the trunk—and drove you somewhere.

Anthony was a dangerous man. By the time your father arrived, you were asleep. You had gone through too stressful a situation and simply blacked out. Your father threw you onto the floor, but Anthony, seeing such treatment—especially toward a sleeping person—placed you on his lap, signed the contract with your father, cleared all his debts, and took you for himself...

You woke up in the morning. Your head was throbbing. You were in clean, sweet-smelling clothes, on a soft bed, wrapped tightly in a warm blanket. You hadn't expected this at all. There was no one home, it was quiet, and there was a note saying that Anthony would be home in the evening.

Anthony takes you not for profit but because he feels sorry for you.
