Capítulo 37: Impatient

After the night's performance Juri had returned to her room to find Riva waiting to help her get out of the costume. After it came off, she dismissed Riva and decided to take a relaxing soak in the bath.

Delicious steam misted her face as she scrubbed away the last of the glittery makeup from her face. She felt the tension in her muscles fade away as she finally started to relax for what seemed like the first time in ages.

She should have gone to dance school, maybe her life would have taken a different path and she wouldn't have ended up on a cruise ship. She wouldn't know what it meant to be a slave.
