Summary

She was only passing by. But her scent reached him again, driving him mad. Before she could even process what was happening, she was pinned against the wall in front of all the girls. "What the hell are you doing?" she demanded, trying to free herself. He leaned closer, his eyes burning with anger. "Don't you feel ashamed doing this work?" She looked straight into his eyes. "No. Why should I? When people like you aren't ashamed of coming here, why should I?" An undercover cop enters the dark world of illegal brothels with one mission, to expose the network and rescue the girls trapped inside it. But then he meets the brothel's star girl.
