Veronica then immediately encouraged Lisa to sit at the dining chair inside the VIP room they rented. On the table laid the food they had just ordered, complete with three glasses and a bottle of wine.

Lisa stayed alert as she couldn't get rid of her suspicion, or that she knew so well how rotten the minds of those two were. Who knew if their kindness only served as a disguise, while they tried to trap her? But Lisa found it difficult to refuse them.

First, if she refused their invitation, they would probably find a thousand reasons to complain to the hotel manager even though it had nothing to do with her performance while working as a hotel waitress. Second, if she didn't find out what their true intentions were, Lisa thought things would only get more complicated later.

"Let's have a drink,

" Veronica said, holding out a glass.

Lisa stared at the puddle of red wine that looked dark with her knitted brows. Her hunch told her that there was something wrong with the wine, but she wasn't sure. Before drinking the wine, Lisa looked at Veronica and said,

"Are you sure this wine doesn't have poison in it?

"

Hearing the question just now made Veronica laugh. Then she raised her wine glass and said,

"If you don't believe it, how about I show it to you? Karina, you also show it to Lisa.

"

Karina nodded, the two snakes swiftly drank their wine. Then they looked back at Lisa with reassuring smiles.

"See? Nothing happened, right?

" Veronica said convincingly.

"Don't be too suspicious of us, just relax! Hahaha!

" Karina said, helping her mom to convince Lisa to drink the wine they served her.

For a moment, Lisa stared at them closely as she tried to read their reactions. After a while, she thought they didn't have anything suspicious in particular.

"Okay, just one sip and then I'll go home,

" Lisa said before taking a sip of the wine that was served slowly. She promised that only a sip was enough. She did not want to come home getting drunk.

"Okay, I've just had a sip. Sorry I can't have dinner with you, I still have to work tomorrow,

" Lisa said as she was getting ready to leave room 605.

"Please, don't leave! We don't mean to force you to stay for long, but this food will be a waste if you don't share dinner with us,

" Veronica said, pretending to be nice.

Lisa got up from where she sat and then said goodbye with good manners. Even though she was really reluctant to be polite with the two evil women, she didn't want to leave a bad impression.

When Lisa left room 605, Veronica came face to face with Karina and gave each other a sly grin.

"We will see, no one will help her on the road when the medicine starts to kick in!

" Veronica said with a sly smile on her lips.

"Haha, how stupid! She's just like her father,

" Karina added with an evil chuckle.

The clock showed it was 9 at night. Public transportation in Bekasi was rarely found around this hour near the hotel. In order to save on the monthly expenses that were running low since she had just moved to a boarding house, Lisa finally decided to just walk. Fortunately, the distance from the hotel where she worked to her boarding house was not too far away.

Along with her footsteps, Lisa suddenly felt something was wrong with her. Her head felt very light and dreamy. Her chest began to feel tight, so she decided to stop for a moment then leaned against one of the walls of the building and took a deep breath.

It looked like the wine she sipped earlier was so strong that it made her drunk. But then she wondered— in all her life, she never had shortness of breath when getting drunk. Lisa began to suspect, could it be that the wine she sipped got poisoned or spiked by those two snakes?!

The heat from inside her body was rising, making her face turn bright red. Cold sweat started pouring from behind her scalp which was covered in thick black hair. Suddenly, her eyes felt heavy, and her vision increasingly blurred. Street lights that usually look bright were dim and stretching.

Lisa tried to step forward and continue her journey to the boarding house but the more steps she took, the heavier her body felt. It was as if someone was pulling her from the ground.

Suddenly feeling nauseous, she vomited blood from inside her stomach. This time Lisa realized, the wine served by Veronica must have been mixed with strong drugs!

Lisa growled in annoyance and anger. She felt fooled by those snakes! Why did she feel she was helpless ever since she separated from Oscar? She was not as brave and firm as before.

Remembering that, Lisa immediately groaned in pain, her lips unconsciously writhed for help as she raved incoherently. Without realizing it, she called for Oscar's name when her legs couldn't support her weight.

Shortly after, Lisa began to fall from where she was standing. Amidst her blurry vision, two women seemed to run over to her. Lisa turned towards them, but she couldn't figure out who they were.

"Lisa... You really are stupid and naive! You easily fell into our trap haha!

" Veronica said with a sly laugh while lifting Lisa's chin violently.

"I'm sorry, no one can help you, huh? Where's your white boyfriend? What a mess...

" Karina sneered as she kicked Lisa who was lying on the side of the road.

Hearing the familiar voices made Lisa furious. It turned out that her hunch was right. There was no way someone as bad as Karina and Veronica would suddenly be so good out of nowhere. Lisa became even more angry because she let herself be fooled.

"Ugh, I forgot how many doses I put into the wine. I think… It's twice the recommended dose. But don't worry! Mama and I will take you to a place where you can ask for help!

" Karina said cruelly.

"You damn snake!

" Lisa yelled languidly.

"Ouch, do you still have the energy to say that?

" Karina scoffed as she faced Lisa with a condescending look.

"Karina, we better bring this bitch to that place we have found for her,

" said Veronica as she glanced at Karina.

The daughter then returned her mother's gaze with a sly smile.

"Ah, that's right! I think they have been waiting for her since earlier!

"

Veronica and Karina then dragged Lisa as if she were a plastic bag filled with trash into a small, quiet alleyway. It was said that perverted men who liked to flirt with women roamed around that place.

The two of them then threw Lisa into the narrow alley roughly. Lisa was not strong enough to lift her body that felt heavier than ever. The medicine that was put into the wine just now seemed to be starting to react. Her vision began to blur, pushing her eyelids to close.

"Don't worry, there will be guys you can definitely ask for help to take you home. We'll leave first, okay? Enjoy your beautiful night, Lisa!

" Veronica sneered, patting Karina's shoulder.

Not long after Lisa was thrown into the ground, heavy steps could be heard from the end of the alley.

"Mama, looks like they've come. Let's go from here!

" Karina asked while pulling her mother's arm.

"Okay! Goodbye Lisa Soewandi!

"

The two snakes immediately rushed to leave the narrow, dim alley. However, they didn't really leave the place. Instead, they were looking for a place to hide so that they could see Lisa getting violated by the mobs.

Lisa was helpless, she couldn't even scream, let alone stand up from her place. The drug was so strong, she didn't know what kind of drug was put into the wine she had drunk earlier.

Not long after, the two mobs came and approached Lisa. Their faces looked disgustingly perverted when they saw Lisa down the narrow alley.

"Hmm, it looks like we're going to party tonight. See, she is really beautiful!

" The mob said to his friend.

"Let's have fun tonight!

" His perverted friend replied.

Lisa screamed for help in her heart, but what could she do? All she could do was pray that someone would help her.

'Oh Oscar, if you were still beside me…' Lisa said to herself as tears welled up her hazy eyes.
