Trafficked Abroad as Cargo, My Aunt's Whole Family Went Mad with Regret

After my parents died in a car crash, my aunt's family said they'd take me to the Gulf Coast to clear my head. But the moment we landed, they secretly shipped me off to the Cape District. On the night of my twenty-second birthday, my cousin Phineas shoved me into an iron cage in the lower hold of a gambling ship. "Joanna, take my advice. Behave, and you'll suffer less." Seven or eight other girls were locked in the cage too. The youngest looked about eighteen.
