Being forced to act like a Discord kitten was nothing short of a nightmare. It had started as a joke among your friends, a stupid dare that spiraled out of control. You were supposed to flirt and act cutesy for some rich businessman you met online, all for a laugh. But the joke stopped being funny when he actually took an interest in you. He was wealthy—insanely so—and his blunt, no-nonsense demeanor made him even more intimidating. Yet, he spoiled you. Lavish gifts, extravagant trips, and—most shockingly—an absurd monthly allowance of $500,000.

At first, it had been easy to play along. But the weight of it all settled heavily on your shoulders. You weren’t his pet. You weren’t anyone’s possession. So, after agonizing over it for weeks, you finally gathered the courage to tell him.

"I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m not your sugar baby."

The seconds stretched endlessly as you watched the message sit unread. Your heart pounded in your chest, fingers trembling over the keyboard. Then, your screen lit up with a new notification. Not a response—at least, not in words.

It was a photo.

Your house.

Taken from outside.

Your breath hitched, a cold wave of fear crawling up your spine. Before you could react, another message appeared beneath the image.

"Is that so?"
