Opportunity came unexpectedly. Juliet had completely lost his strength due to the persistent fever and fatigue that had been going on for days. He was so tired that he didn’t want to do anything. He only slept, skipping meals except when he had to get up to relieve himself. The sweet scent felt several times stronger every time he lost consciousness and woke up, and now it was making his whole body tingle.
Something’s wrong.
Even in his sleep-addled state, he thought. He was sure he had a serious illness.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a fever so high that he couldn’t even move his body, and he wouldn’t be so sleepy.
“Ugh, uh…”
A small sound escaped from his mouth. He realized that his body was shaking afterward. Ah, not again. He could tell what was happening without even opening his eyes. Dominic’s actions had never stopped just because Juliet was asleep. It was continuing.
Dominic kissed Juliet deeply on the lips and ejaculated inside his stomach. A repetition of mechanical acts. He didn’t feel anything anymore.
Ah, not again.
He vaguely recalled. The sweet scent feels intense. The scent intensified several times when Dominic ejaculated, but he didn’t even realize it. Juliet closed his eyes and shook his pelvis slightly. As he moved, the genitals he was holding in his stomach shook up and down, shooting out the remaining semen. Dominic let out a low laugh at the instinctive action in a semi-conscious state.
Juliet, who had been waiting for him to finish ejaculating, barely held on to his mind, which was about to fall back into a deep sleep, and opened his mouth.
“Dominic.”
A hoarse and cracked voice flowed out. He felt sorry for himself at the pitiful sound, but it wasn’t easy to think of anything more than that. His head, as well as his whole body, sank heavily like a sponge soaked in water.
“I, I don’t feel well…”
Juliet said with a strained voice, doing his best. This was true. Even before his body had deteriorated this much, he had barely eaten anything other than watery soup and water. The only thing he could eat to his heart’s content was Dominic’s semen. It was a disgusting fact, though.
Even if an opportunity came, he wouldn’t be able to escape properly in this state.
Juliet continued with difficulty.
“A doctor… or at least, some medicine…”
“He only listed the words briefly,” he said, before a fit of dry coughs escaped him. Coughing and weakly spitting out air, he soon gasped for breath and heaved his chest. Juliet breathed as shallowly as possible, waiting for Dominic’s reaction.
Dominic watched him without a word. Just as that eerie silence was becoming frightening, Dominic opened his mouth.
“Let’s get out of here.”
What?
Even as he said it, he didn’t really expect it. Dominic letting him go? He had resigned himself to the fact that such a thing would never happen.
He thought he would never be able to get out of this hellish place unless he killed him and buried him secretly. Juliet’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected words he could never have imagined. Although all he could manage was a slight blink.
“You’re going to let me out…? Me? Really?”
He raised his voice in desperation, but it was just an illusion, and in reality, it was just a hoarse, breathy sound. Dominic said to Juliet, who contorted his face as if his throat was splitting.
“Yes, for a little while.”
Juliet was overwhelmed with emotion and lost for words. Finally, he was getting out. Finally getting out. Finally, finally, finally…!
That was the end of his memory.
With elation, Juliet fainted again.
***
The ceiling he saw when he opened his eyes was completely unfamiliar. Juliet, who had lost consciousness, blinked a few times as his vision was blurry, and soon realized that something was wrong with his body.
He could feel a definite change in his surroundings.
Did it happen because he woke up from sleep…?
But it was quite a stretch to think so. He didn’t feel so good right now. His head was still dizzy and his body was heavy, so he couldn’t move at all.
Juliet moved his head and looked around. It wasn’t the dark, dirty space he was used to. It wasn’t the place where Dominic had imprisoned him and raped him endlessly.
Bright sunlight streamed in through the window that took up a large part of the wall. The walls, covered with high-end wallpaper, were filled with colorful oil paintings in large and small frames. The bed he was lying on also smelled nice. And the most surprising thing was that he wasn’t naked. He was completely dumbfounded to see himself lying in silk pajamas. He looked again and again, but the scene in his sight did not change. It was such a cozy and luxurious bedroom.
“Aah…!”
Juliet, who was belatedly surprised and tried to get out of bed, slipped as he was. He reflexively screamed. Fortunately, the soft carpet reduced the impact, but the pain in his broken ankle was enormous.
“Ugh…”
It was certain that he couldn’t use his ankle. His ankle, which had been neglected without proper treatment, had hardened as it was, and even the slightest impact caused him to scream in tremendous pain.
Haa, haa.
He groaned and lay on the floor until the pain subsided. Walking was impossible, but crawling was possible. Juliet gasped for breath and began to crawl on the floor.
It was clear that Dominic had brought him here. Then he had to ask for help before that man came. Quickly, quickly…
Haa, haa.
He was so breathless that he felt dizzy, but the door was still so far away. Juliet stopped moving with a pale face when he realized that he had only moved a couple of steps.
Why… is this happening…?
It wasn’t just his ankle that he couldn’t use. But why was his whole body so weak? He couldn’t put any strength into it, as if all his muscles had melted away. Why, what for?
My… body…
Juliet turned his trembling gaze to his lower body. A wide cloth covered his long legs, which were useless and just sprawled out. Realizing that the pajamas he was wearing were one-piece, he turned his gaze again and looked down at his hands. He was bewildered as he looked at his hands, trembling because he couldn’t give them strength, when he heard someone running in the hallway.
Juliet cowered in horror at the sound of people. But still, his body didn’t move as he wanted. The moment the door opened, he screamed in horror, but the people who came in were not Dominic. The faces he saw for the first time saw Juliet collapsed on the floor, rushed to him, lifted him up, and laid him back on the bed.
What is going on?
After the servants went out again, Juliet lay alone in bed and recalled with a bewildered face.
Those people are probably servants.
…Dominic’s.
He couldn’t grasp any of the situation in front of him, but the servants left Juliet alone and closed the bedroom door as it was. As if they had been ordered to keep silent, they didn’t say a word to ask if he was okay.
However, that confusion and question were soon buried by the sudden dizziness. Juliet closed his eyes again and lost consciousness again.
Like flickering.
He just lay in bed and repeatedly fell asleep and woke up several times. And when he came to his senses again, it was around dusk when the sun had set.
“Ugh…”
Juliet groaned as he tried to turn over. He must have been sleeping all day, but his body was still in terrible condition. Juliet, who barely managed to sit up by squeezing all the strength in his body, was exhausted just by that.
Haa, haa.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound in his ears as he heaved his shoulders and gasped for breath.
…Footsteps.
The only sound he had heard while being imprisoned was his footsteps.
It’s Dominic Miller’s.
Juliet, realizing this, cowered in horror and looked around. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Of course, towards Juliet’s room.
Juliet didn’t know what to do, so he just pulled the blanket up to his neck and trembled inside. He was consumed by fear just by the sound of footsteps. Juliet could only tremble and hope that he would pass by.
Hoping that he wouldn’t come to see him.
But that was a futile wish. The sound of the door opening with a click was heard, and a desperate sigh escaped from Juliet’s mouth. Soon, the sound of frighteningly neat shoe heels echoed in the room. Juliet could only tremble and watch him approaching.
