Debt Exchange For Her

PENELOPE STEWART

Blondy, bring me another beer! I heard the scream of one of the men who was at the table called, As I walked to the bar, there was Lia, my friend, and my sister.

She gave me a look of compassion while I filled the beer glasses, I placed them on the table perfectly then balanced them on my arm and I walked to the table where the men was.

I placed the four beers on the table and picked up the empty beer bottle without lifting my head.

As I turn, a man hit my butt, I clench my teeth hard but I don't say anything, just keep going.

If I fight with him, it will get worse and Matthew will kill me.

This is how my evening goes until the bar is empty, and then I help Lia clean the tables.

I heard that Matthew owed someone money but I ignored her, help me clean the tables over there, Lia tried to say something else, but I told her to go.

Matthew came down the stairs and approached me.

Penny, I heard that you have a good day today smiling, showing his yellow teeth that are full of silver stone.

" Give me the tips"

I frown in annoyance, That's the tip I have earned tonight, but he seems to follow the thread of my thoughts because his smile becomes darker.

He places his hand on my cheeks, squeezing them tightly, causing me to groan from the pain.

Penny, pretty blondy, remember that You are mine, all of you belong to me even if you pay your damn Father debt, the tips are mine, the salary is mine and everything you got with your damn pretty Barbie face is mine and he let me go.

Wait, I take out of the tips from my pockets that I have earned from the night and put it in his hands.

There will be no food for me today, I sigh.

Matthew counted the tips while smiling, and then he went back to the hole called an office.

"You can't let him do that Penny, Lia protests Let it be Lia.

No! It's not fair Penny, you've worked your ass and understand these damn drunks so he can't take it all.

I owe him a lot of money, Lia.

It's not true, your father owes the money.

Now, I am the money exchange for the debt, you know.

I would go look for your father, I would hit his ass and I would bring him here so that he takes care of his shit, that bastard.

If it were that easy I would have done it, I kept cleaning until Lia came back to talk to me again.

You didn't answer me before about what I told you.

What did you tell me?

Matthew owes money...

Concentrate woman! I laughed, I don't care who Matthew owns money Lia nor neither you should care.

Well, you should care, It seems like a huge amount of money, it's a big problem, he owes a lot of money to very important people.

I shrug, it's not my problem.

What if you owe money to the Black, the Wolves? She screeches.

I turn to her immediately, keep your voice down, Lia!

The last time I saw a man Speaking of them, it was quite struck.

Does Matthew owe the Wolves money?

Yeah, he's in quite a mess, if that's true.

The Wolves run this city, casinos, drugs, gambling, racing, and everything illegal.

They control here and if that were not enough, they also have the local police in their pockets.

I'm just saying maybe No, maybe yes.

Matthew owes the Wolves money, we could finally get rid of Matthew once and for all.

Lia shrinks her shoulders, you could be free Penny, Isn't that what you've always wanted?

His words keep ringing in my ears.

Free, Free!!!!

I have always been someone's prisoner, before it was my father's, but after Matthew, maybe I can be free.

Yeah, Matthew owes the Wolves money, I could be free once and for all.

Although, for what?

My father would find out that I had paid his debt to Matthew and he would come for me, because that's what I am, another pawn on his board.

Lia noticed that I didn't respond to her so she didn't insist any further.

**********************************************

The next day my job continued, I ran around handing out drinks from back and forth, the stupid shorts that Matthew made us wear, It made me feel horrible and I can see it a little in my view.

The low-cut top has the bar logo on it, I do not like it very much either, although it seems that the drunks in the bar like it.

I keep handing out drinks, ignoring the dirty words of the drunks.

When the door bursts open, several men enter and then three at a time, I don't need to think much to know who they are.

The Black is also known as the Wolves.

I hid behind the drunk men in the bar, Lia was pale behind the bar.

Men walk without looking at anyone in particular, expensive clothing, and their bodies are full of tattoos, calling customer attention.

They know who they are and everybody is silent in the bar while they move forward and up the stairs to the second floor where Matthew's office is.

The security men blocked the stairs and told Lia to turn off the music, and she shook slightly.

When the music was off we heard blows and complaints from Matthew.

I smile at that.

I continued sitting at the bar smiling happily before the security guys looked at me with half-closed eyes, they must have noticed my mood changes when I heard how they beat up Matthew, but they didn't do anything to me.

I was sitting at the tables when one of the security bouncers placed on my side, told me to follow him.

I turn to look at Lia, who also has a confused look while they direct us up the stairs, although I also notice there is panic in her eyes.

My body receives a rush of panic, although, after so many years of practice, I calm my body so that it doesn't show that I'm trembling, and my

They also brought two other girls from the other side which I don't remember their names, but I know they also work at the bar.

The further we climbed the stairs, the more we heard the moans of Matthew, one of the Men reached the door and knocked on it.

Then he ushers us in at once and they close the door, leaving us inside, with Matthew all bloody on the floor and the three Wolves standing behind him.

"Choose whoever you want," Matthew exclaims as he slutter's his words and a trickle of blood falls from his mouth to the ground.

The three men walk towards us with a predatory look and look at our bodies, The two girls and Lia tremble at my side side.

One of the guys has blond hair, golden brown eyes, his arms full of tattoos, a tattoo of a wolf on the left side of his neck and piercings on his face.

The girls cry as he approaches them, Lia sobs next to me, and panic sweeps into my body but I don't let it show, my face remains serious, and the blond guy walks in front of me, I raise my cheeks.

His eyes ran over my face curiously, as he looked into my eyes, wondering why I don't have fear.

What he doesn't know is that I'm terrified, on the verge of a heart attack.

The blonde guy turns to look at his companions, without saying a word they manage to communicate, and the black hair guy who looks like the leader, nods.

The bouncer takes out the girls and Lia, she screams as she tries to touch me, but the men prevent it, and they take them out of the room.

The blonde guy laughs while trying to touch my arm but I take a step back, turning away which makes them angry, one of the guys grabs me by the neck from behind, unprepared and they lift me.

Calm down Penny, you're used to pain, you can handle this.

I can handle this!!!

I struggle with the guy while the other two approach me.

A real beauty, he said.

He raised one of his tattooed hands trying to touch my face, I frowned in annoyance while I tried to turn my face away from him, although he held me firmly without letting me move.

"Get your hand off my face,” I growled.

My cold tone surprises them, curiosity shining in their eyes, but he moves his hand away from my face.

I like it, we'll take this one, the blonde guy said.

I started to struggle with the guy and scream when Matthew spoke.

" Penny shut up," he growls while I am still incorporated.

You are the currency to change my debt.

His statement left me cold, frozen.

It just can't be, Not again.

Understanding crosses my mind, I cast my icy eyes toward Matthew, and I stop fighting.

Motherfucker, bastard Matthew but I gave in and let the Men drag me towards the stairs.

Penny!!!! Shit let go of me, you bunch of steroids! Lia screams, trying to hold me.

Could you let go of my neck it was uncomfortable walking like that, I told the bastard holding me.

He looks at me confused but turns back to his boss who came from behind, the blond laughs and responds.

You heard the lady, let her go.

The bastard lets go of my neck, but he keeps pulling my arm.

Lia elbows the guy in the nose that was holding her, and he growls in pain while holding his nose She runs towards me.

Penny!!!

They hold her again, so I look at her, it's okay, Lia.

No, it's not good! she-she tries to sound calm again, but she can't.

When we arrived outside the bar, I got inside a giant truck with the guards, and the Wolves went to another van.

They tie my hands, and my feet, and cover my eyes with a cloth.

I'm screwed.
