Replying...
Intro. We weren’t kidnapped the way it happens in movies.
There was no dramatic chase, no loud screaming…
Everything was too smooth.
Too quiet.
And that’s what made it terrifying.
A formal invitation. A fake seal. A promise of “exclusive work” in a luxury location.
I remember laughing at it.
I thought: Why would anything happen to me?
Then it did.
I woke up to cold ground, salt-thick air, and waves that never stopped.
My eyes were covered.
When they removed the blindfold, I saw four other girls.
Pale faces.
Swollen eyes from crying.
And wrists marked by ropes like fresh tattoos.
Outside the window…
An island.
Green, beautiful…
and completely wrong.

On the first day, they didn’t treat us like girls.
They treated us like numbers.
A man entered with a tablet.
A woman followed, wearing black gloves.
She pointed at one of us and said, flatly:
“This one… won’t do.”
I didn’t understand.
Then they dragged the girl outside.
She never came back.
Not once.
