After getting dressed Maria waited outside the bathroom and was quickly led to a dining hall.

Hana prepared a hefty meal, while she wasn’t getting good food for quite some time now, she wasn’t starving.

They didn’t need to deal with giving her solid food and she was thankful for that as she relished the luxurious meal.

Even back when she was still heavily dependent on her family, the meals she had were not as luxurious as the one she was having.

A large steak, buttery mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.

It was the type of meal that people usually ordered at restaurants or the type that wealthy people in the US ate frequently.

Moreover, the steak was neither thin nor small, it was really thick and the quality of the meat and it’s cooking were world class.

Not that Maria actually knew what world class steak tasted like but compared to the steaks she ate in her memory, the one she had now was not only delicious because it had been a long time since she had truly proper meal.

It was just that good.

Maria spent a good while eating, she was even served dessert, a chocolate fudge ice cream cake which, upon being served made her realize that the temperature inside the manor was not sweltering.

The air was not too cold, nor was it too thick.

Humidity and temperature were being regulated to suit a very relaxing atmosphere and there was not even a single fly or insect within the home.

Even her wealthy relatives had to deal with flies, whether they were the big black flies that annoy people with their constant buzzing or the small fruit flies that always appear in swarms.

Maria had gotten used to such sights and after going into the jungle, she became even more used to the sight of bugs.

Whether it was the small critter that could make even a grown man squeal, or the spiders that love to hide in your shoes and pockets.

Maria had gotten used to them, she had personally killed a few spiders and black bugs unknowingly after she put on her combat boots. The feeling of wet socks and rocks in boots due to trudging through deep mud made her think that what she got in her boots were just pebbles.

It was only later that she realized that a few bugs were squished to death in her boots as their squished bodies clung to her socks.

But that wasn’t the worst thing she experienced.

Bugs were one thing but they weren’t the only ones to get into boots out in the wild.

Fortunately, Maria’s worst experience was a toad that got squished to death under her feat.

Others had to deal with rats and snakes that bit at their toes.

All those experiences made Maria numb to the sights and sounds of the wild.

But now, the more time she spent relaxed, the more she realized just how bizarre this mansion was.

The campground she had been sleeping in was crawling with various critters, the sound of crickets became a source of entertainment with how loud they were but this manor-

Not only did it provide the most comfortable environment, it also had not a single critter within.

A feat that should be impossible as the jungle was not a sterile environment.

Flies would end up getting in, whether it was through a window opened for a second or a person entering through the doors.

It should have been impossible to keep nature out and that was the key point-

SHOULD HAVE

The norm was not followed, the place was strange and magic was real.

Some would see this as a point of wonder and amazement but for Maria, it only made her even more pressured.

Her fate, she felt that jaws of fate slowly closing in on her but she did not despair.

Instead, as she had already steeled herself to do, Maria just enjoyed whatever it was that came her way.

The atmosphere showed off the power that the man named Richard had. But it also showed just how "good" things would be if she clung to him.

Years ago, Maria would have fought back, she would have desperately pushed away Richard and declared herself as an independent woman. That she would not need a man such as Richard for anything but- 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Where did that lead her?

Getting noticed and taken by Richard may not have been all that bad and soon. As she was enjoying the bottle of wine that had been offered to her, who knows how long ago, Hana came back, took a look at the half empty bottle and said.

"Richard is going to meet with you now"

It was like meeting royalty, but maybe it was the alcohol speaking or something else, but Maria started to have delusions.

As a woman raised in the age of the internet, she was no stranger to crazy tales.

Everyone understood that the dominant CEO, overbearing CEO, obsessive CEO was a trope that was basically just a fever dream of some frustrated author.

After all, few CEOs were actually attractive, one CEO with a good body was bald and old, another one who was not a fatass as a wimp who looked like a lizard and the other who could have been attractive somehow ended up getting wider the more money he made.

Some say that it was an unfortunate reality when you spend most of your life sitting behind a desk managing millions of dollars in funds, investments and other money making matters but no one wants to acknowledge that in stories.

After all, there were two things why a dominant CEO would be liked.

First, they would be likely to desperately wrap themselves around you, using all their money and influence to do so.

Second, they had the money and influence to just do whatever, when a CEO decides to keep their secretary for themselves and show them all the shades of black and white, nobody would question why police stayed silent and why everyone just ignored it.

Because the author can just blame "money = power", which allows one character to do whatever and the other to just enjoy it all.

The dominant CEO was equivalent to the "Yandere" all men obsess over. They won’t question how a small, petite girl could wield a chainsaw like they were leatherface or how a schoolgirl with no combat training or experience could massacre hundreds of well trained soldiers because of "love".

It was a fantasy, but so was magic and right in front of Maria was that very fantasy being put on display.

"Oh? Sorry about this, I should have met with you earlier but I had to calm Cindy down and now I have multiple engagements that I need to deal with. But I can’t really leave you hanging for too long, so forgive me but we will be having our talks in this... inconvenient state"

Richard spoke casually and even seemed to be apologetic as he met Maria’s eyes.

But Maria couldn’t really calm herself down as the moment she entered the room where Richard was, the stench of lust that was a mix of salty, fishy and sweet smells assaulted her nostrils.

Inside the room, various women laid sprawled all over the bed, ground and furniture.

Richard himself was currently thrusting his hips behind a woman who was bound and gagged. Her muffled moans and the twitching of her limbs was truly a sight to behold but what confused Maria was that some of the women, those that were still conscious, seemed to be staring at the woman who was getting pistoned by Richard with envy.

*PLAP* *PLAP* *PLAP* *SLAP* *PLAP* *PLAP*

The sound of flesh striking flesh, the slap and moans created a weird atmosphere.

The woman was obviously fatigued but Richard showed not a sign of exhaustion.

"Take a seat... anywhere will do, you could stand if you want but this will be a long conversation"

Richard spoke, snapping Maria out of her stupor.

She did not get everything that Richard said and this led her to react based on her own ideas.

Without warning, she started to strip, she started with the tube top that showed her shoulders and cleavage.

A zipper ran between her breasts which is what held the top together.

She unzipped it and without any other action, the top fell.

This caught Richard’s attention as he looked at the young woman who started to strip.

He could tell that she was moving out of a misunderstanding and Hana noticed it but he stopped Hana from correcting the woman.

Richard let her do what she wanted as he wanted to see just how far she was willing to go.

The plans he had for the woman were quite big so he wanted to see her resolution and her will.

Maria didn’t wait for Richard to say anything, she moved towards a seat that was directly in front of Richard and the woman he was thrusting into.

She didn’t interfere and only sat on the sofa with her legs raised in an "M" position that revealed the secret garden between her thighs.

Maria’s clothes consisted of a black tube top, a black mini skirt, black lace panties and a pair of black leather boots.

Those were the only clothes that Hana could find that belonged to no one else.

Everyone took care of their clothes, as such, none were willing to let the random woman borrow theirs.

The clothes Maria wore were pieces of clothing that the other witches had grown out of or just hadn’t worn for years.

Cleaning them was easy and Hana could have just used the same method to clean Maria’s clothes but her clothes were covered in stains, tattered and were basically nothing more than rags at that point.

The clothes were incinerated while Nyx was asked to bring Arthuretta out to purchase a few articles of clothing for the new girl.

Hana believed that the clothes were good enough to strike Richard’s fancy, even if the girl doesn’t have talent as a leader or as a witch. She could still get a good position if she could seduce Richard.

What Hana didn’t expect though was for the girl to be extremely decisive.

After she took her position, she started to masturb*te, she played with her own chest, not huge, just a modest size but enough for Richard to wrap his hands around them.

The girl sat there, matching Richard’s thrusts, her moans echoed in the dark room and as Richard ej*culated, she too came and matched his release.

"She’s a freak..."

Richard said as she looked down at Maria, the woman he had just creampied was carried by Hana to the bed, her p*ssy still leaking the juice of life that was pumped in her.

The other women could only look on in regret as Richard stood before Maria.

"Now then miss, how about we have a proper talk?"

Richard asked but the next action taken by Maria left him speechless.

Maria repositioned herself, she was now on her knees atop the sofa, her upper was pushed forward and her face was just under Richard’s d*ck.

She extended her hands and grasped his d*ck but she didn’t shove it in her mouth, instead, Maria pushed it up against her cheeks as she looked up to Richard with a pair of puppy dog eyes.

"..."

Hana could only watch as the woman she thought was going to be a meek victim ended up being a venomous snake.

One of the witches who was supposed to have her turn tried to interfere but Hana stopped her.

"Don’t interrupt Richard"

Seeing as Hana made such a declaration, the witch could do nothing but turn back, though she made sure to have a few words in as she did-

"Virgin bitch... just because Richard won’t fuck you"

But Hana ignored her words, she didn’t stay pure out of failure, she stayed pure out of her own desire.

Still, that didn’t mean that Hana did not have any feelings at all.

Watching such acts still made her curious and while she was satisfied with using her fingers...

’No... I can’t, that would make me just like these damned whores’

Hana calmed herself as she watched Richard use the insurgent girl as a cock sleave. She tried to fight back and match Richard but she was just a normal human.

Even a witch with an enhanced body was turned into an idiot by Richard, much less a regular human who was not in the best of states.
