My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

When we met again, they seemed numb, like they had gotten used to the life here. They looked up at me and then closed their eyes again, as if I wasn't there. My heart ached instantly. I turned to look at Tiago and asked, "Why are they like this?"

Tiago glanced at her, nonchalant. "This happens to all women who come here. It's nothing surprising."

My breath caught upon hearing that. I looked at him and asked in hushed tones, "Didn't you say that you would take good care of them?"

"Hah!" Tiago sneered and replied, "Letting them stay alive was more than enough. What you'd see otherwise would just be corpses."

I fell speechless for a moment, and despite my anger, I couldn't say a word.

I snapped, "Let them out!"

He didn't speak. He just gave the guards beside him a hand signal.
