Episode 1

All heads seemed bowed, as if trying hard to hide their faces. Moreover, their hands were clenched, making their clothes crumpled because they didn't know how long this would last.

Initially, everything seemed fine, but who knows what happened inside, causing the lioness and snake-like figure to go on a rampage.

"All of you get in and clean this up immediately!" That terrifying voice made them rush in before something worse happened.

"I have to clean myself after getting blood from this poor man!"

Caroline, a beautiful name like her face. But not her life, more precisely... her job as a loan shark. Anyone who can't pay her money should be ready for the consequences.

"Already poor and trying to be stylish. Lots of kids too! I hate kids! Especially babies, but that poor person gives birth to children as if they want to be fed by the wind." Because of her parents' past life, Caroline doesn't want to get married, let alone have a child. At almost 32 years old, Caroline lives only with servants and her abundant wealth.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Caroline asked, an almost 70-year-old woman who always accompanies Caroline in this big house.

"Seafood, Miss. Just like you like." She said.

"Good, I love it."

"You can join us for dinner too, Auntie."

"Thank you, Miss. Miss, I'm already old, I could be gone anytime. Don't you want to get married? Or find someone to accompany you?" Those words stopped the spoon that Caroline was about to enjoy.

"If you're gone, I'll find another." Caroline replied flatly.

"But until when, Miss? I know you actually..."

"I don't like this conversation! And it's disturbing my appetite!" Caroline got up from there, leaving the old woman with a long sigh.

"Husband, children! Screw that! It only troubles me! If I want, I just need to hir3 a gigolo. I don't need protection, I can protect myself by using many weapons! I'm not a weak woman! There are no sincere men in the world! In fact, they want something!" Caroline lay down, she wanted tonight to pass quickly and be replaced by morning. Because tomorrow is payday for those who are due.

"Tomorrow morning is a good day for me. My money will come back, if not, be prepared for the consequences." That evil smile formed and those eyes began to close, but opened again.

"I know you're there. I don't want any disturbances. So don't bother me until tomorrow morning." She said, the old woman looked at her with hope.

"Hopefully, Miss will soon realize that what she thinks is wrong."

That face seemed to wrinkle along with the sound she heard. Disturbed, she finally opened her eyes.

"Shit! Whose crying is that!" She grumbled, throwing off her blanket, but she felt something flowing on her face.

"Sweat? What is this! Why is it so hot!"

"Auntie! Why is the air conditioner off! What's wrong with this morning, and aaaghhhh! Whose crying is that! I'm going to shoot their parents!" But just a few steps away, the beautiful woman froze at what was in front of her. Her sturdy and expensive room, shelves of skincare and her wardrobe full of beautiful clothes disappeared. Replaced by a wooden cupboard that was already worn and moldy.

"What is this! What is this! What is this place, and hah!" Caroline saw her smooth and white hands turn into dull skin.

"What's wrong with my hands! Hah! My face!" She screamed after seeing a small mirror that only showed her face.

"Whose face is this!" She screamed again, when her eyes glanced at the reflection of the mirror. A memory seemed to hit her head.

"Mother!"

"Gracia! Pay your debt! Your child has repeatedly taken cakes without paying!"

"Your husband had an accident and it paralyzed his leg!" The pieces of the incident became clearer and made her freeze.

"No-no! I became a poor person?" She said in disbelief.

She slapped her cheek hoping this was a nightmare, but it was real. When a little boy approached her with tattered clothes and a face wet from crying. "Mother, my little sister fell."
