The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 53: What Happened To Poppy

“What is it?” Emma asked again when Donny’s disgusting selfie already appeared as wide as Kathy’s computer screen, which was already large from the start.

“Look at this, Emma,” Kathy pointed to an object behind the guy. The object looks a bit blurry. But for Kathy who had sharp eyes, she could recognize that it was Poppy.

Emma’s eyes widened, then she squealed in annoyance “That stupid guy! We have to tell Poppy about this, so she can tell her idiot boyfriend to delete the photo immediately.”

So, it was a photo of Donny taking a picture of his own face or what was usually known as a ‘Selfie’. The man photographed himself up close by sticking his tongue to the side like a pervert. From the photo, it could be seen that Donny was in a room that looked like a quiet large bedroom. Behind him, there could be seen the foot of a bed and a large wardrobe with a mirror.

But the big problem was in the wardrobe mirror behind him. In the mirror reflected the appearance of a fair-skinned girl with flowing black hair and a face that was clearly familiar to those who know her. The reflection was the figure of Poppy who was standing. But, she stood completely naked without a single thread on her body.

Even though in the photo, Poppy’s reflection in the mirror looked a bit blurry, but still it would destroy her self-esteem if any of her acquaintances see such indecent things.

Kathy glared at Emma, ??then shook her head, “We can’t do that, Emma.”

.....

“Huh? Why?” Emma’s brow furrowed as she stared in surprise at Kathy’s horrified face.

Then Kathy pressed the ‘Next’ button on the computer keyboard until the photos slid. At that moment, Emma immediately jumped in surprise with her eyes getting bigger.

The next photo showed several men. They were Donny, Larry, and five other men that Emma and Kathy didn’t know. The seven men were taking pictures in the same room. They were sitting in a long sofa posing coolly. However, on the far right side of the photo, there was some black equipment scattered on the table that also captured the camera’s frame range.

Those were some cameras with all their accessories.

Emma gulped, her eyes quivering.

Suddenly, Kathy pressed the previous button again and the photo shifted again. Now, the screen showed almost the same photo, in the same place, but with one additional guy. The guy had a pretty handsome face with a proportional body decorated with some tattoos. The guy smiled broadly and was wearing only boxer shorts and a grey towel robe. Donny could be seen embracing his arm casually on the handsome guy’s shoulder.

Then, Kathy pressed the button again a few times until they arrived at a photo of Donny’s face together with Lary in another position. They from behind accidentally caught a picture of a scene that seemed to burn Emma’s eyeballs to scorch.

On the far left side of the photo, there was a large bed with two persons sitting on it. The persons were Poppy and the handsome guy in the previous photo. They were both completely naked, sitting with a serious stare straight to the front of the bed as if they were watching something.

“T-this is..” Emma muttered as she looked at the other photos.

Poppy only appeared in two photos. The rest of the fifteen photos were just selfies of Donny and his friends. However, from the photos, Emma could easily conclude. That those bastards were shooting a movie. There was even a photo that showed one of the men carrying a large camera like a news cameraman.

Emma stepped back with weekend knees and fell to sit on the edge of the bed. She covered her mouth with both hands. Her reaction was the same as Kathy’s earlier. She was really surprised as if the ground she was standing on shook violently.

Poppy.. a daughter who really respected and loved her mother. A niece of an elegant lady like Ms Diana. A beautiful, friendly, innocent, and gentle girl who had a beautiful dream that she must achieve. Trapped by a f*cking demon who dragged her into hell and shattered her to pieces.

Kathy stood in front of Emma and hugged her tightly. Kathy’s tears began to flow down her cheeks, “What are we supposed to do, Emma? There’s no way we could leave Poppy like this. You can see it.. Now, it’s clear why Poppy looks so scared and obeys all the words of that asshole Donny. It’s because she’s been chained by him!”

In all her life, no one had ever made Emma this angry. She couldn’t even return Kathy’s hug. She grabbed Kathy by the waist and pushed her gently so that she could let go of her embrace.

“Where did you get the photos from?” Emma asked flatly.

“It was when I was logging into the university’s website, I suddenly remembered Donny who insulted me in public at that time. Then, I idly opened his account and entered his social media. At first, I thought I wanted to prank him a little. But I saw him posted these photos in his account.” Kathy explained.

Emma immediately stood up and walked over to the computer and turned to Kathy, “Can you open it again?”

Kathy nodded. After a few seconds, they were already in Donny’s social media account. Emma saw the date of the post which turned out to be only three days ago.

Then, the two of them checked a little of his social media content. There, Donny was never seen posting a single photo with Poppy. Instead, in his private message column, it turned out that there was a lot of evidence to show he often communicated with many women. There were even some who called him ‘Baby’. And to made matters worse, some sent him their own nude photos at Donny’s request.

“He’s a real asshole. I really want to kill him!” Kathy growled.

“We have to find out about this. Donny must be working with a studio that produces porn films. From there, we can find a way to save Poppy.” Emma said.

“E-emma. I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to save Poppy. But, how do we save her? What can we do?” Kathy said, looking down sadly.

Emma gulped. Of course, she would go find the studio and ruin it. She’s going to kill Donny, the goddamn asshole king who made Poppy’s life miserable. In the same disguise as when she saved Roger, it won’t affect her identity as Emma Hilland. But how to explain it to Kathy?

“I think the only way to save Poppy is to talk to her privately. We have to convince Poppy to call the police for sexual slavery.” Kathy spoke again.

Emma looked at the girl. That was true. Before going directly to the criminals, they should approach the victim first. Because it’s only Kathy who knew the full story, Emma wouldn’t do an attack without knowing anything about Donny and his guys either. Moreover, Emma was in an alone position.

Emma nodded, “You’re right. We have to talk to Poppy. But, could you find any traces of all this? I just wanted to know, who are the people who made Poppy a porn star. So, we can be more careful with them. Because.. we are just a woman. Am I right?” she gave a sad smile. It felt like saying that was like slicing Emma’s own tongue. It’s as if Emma admitted how weak a woman is, so they have to live a life full of caution.

Kathy nodded, “Of course, I’ll look for it, Emma. But I maybe will need some time, because Donny seems to be very careful about his personal data. I feel like.. he’s hiding things on purpose.” she muttered.

***

What exactly eternal love is? Does that mean true love? Love that as white snowflakes slowly fall from the sky.

What exactly eternal love is? Does it mean love that has been formed since a heart was still clean and unstained?

The sound of a little girl’s laughter resounded. Her silky black hair fluttered in the evening breeze. Her crystal clear eyes with jet black irises and a wide sweet smile from both fresh pomegranate lips. The rows of her tiny teeth continued to show. She swayed on a swing, as the evening light shone behind her back. Very beautiful.

The eyes with the dark circles opened. His blue irises were getting dimmer by the day. His face was dull and looked depressed. He looked really bad. His appearance and his life looked pathetic.

The dream came again. Roger’s happiness was only in his dreams. He didn’t have the chance to feel any happy feelings in real life. Unknowingly, tears flowed out from the outer corners of his eyes.

Roger thought sometimes. If he had let the little girl lose her balloon in the first place, would his life still be like this now? Was he still such a pathetic loser now?

Roger hadn’t washed his messy face yet. He immediately put on his glasses and went to sit in the big expensive computer chair his rarely home mother had bought him. A mother who didn’t even have time to cook for her only son. A mother who was too busy to have time to just say ‘I Love You’ to her son or just to peek at his son’s bedroom door in the middle of the night to see if he’s asleep or not.

Roger pressed a key on his computer keyboard which was still in ‘Sleep’ mode. Instantly, the computer screen lit up. He smiled bitterly. Then, bent down by grabbing his hair with both hands.

It was the page of a paid porn site. A porn site that was popular among men like him. There, appeared an hour-long video that had just been posted four hours ago, but the audience had already reached more than six hundred.

With a trembling finger, Roger pressed his mouse button to play the video. As usual, it was a movie containing bed scenes like on other porn sites. But what made it different was, the scene had a very good shot. As if the cameraman and director were the professionals. The only thing that bothering was the face of the actresses and actors were blurred.
