2024-11-23 20:07:12Mrs parker’’s eyes darted towards me,her expression a mix of surprise and delight,my heart stopped,this must be a joke,he definitely doesn't mean me I thought,my pulse racing, surely I heard wrong. But the stillness in the room confirmed otherwise.
''Are you certain, Mr Black ?’’ Mrs Parker asked,her voice soft, testing.
He didn't answer,he didn't need to.The silence was his confirmation.with a nod,Mrs Parker clapped her hand ushering the strippers away.Then she turned to me,her smile sharp as a knife.” Come with me” she said, grabbing my arm and leading me out of the room.
She dragged me to a private staff lounge,her grip firm as though I might escape, “ Listen Luna” she started her tone with a mix of sternness and persuasion. “This is a one time thing.Do whatever he asks,and that's it. you're done.”
I am not a stripper boss,I protested, my voice trembling. I'm here to serve drinks,not sex
‘’Nonsense'’ she snapped, cutting me off, “who said anything about sex?he does not want sex, he just wants a massage
“A massage?" I echoed, disbelief dripping in my tone.
“Yes, a massage! He's paying a fortune for this, Luna I'm not letting this slip through my fingers.” She leaned closer, her voice lowering into a conspiratorial whisper. “ Think about it, your rent is due,your mom needs medications,and you've got bills piling up. This could change everything for you.Millions, Luna.Millions !
You owe me luna,and with the look of things, I don't think you're paying anytime soon,if you do what i want, consider your debts paid.She said with a satisfactory smile
Her words settled over me like a weight,My mind spun with all the reasons I should say no and the desperate realities that made it hard to refuse.Finally I exhaled. I'll do it i said
Mrs.parker beamed, wasting no time.She had two staffs dress me in a black lingerie set that fits like a glove,The silky fabric clung to my curves,the lace teasingly revealing my skin,My hair was styled into loose waves,and they applied just enough makeup to make me look effortlessly sultry. A silk robe was draped over me,but it did little to hide how exposed I felt.
“All this for a massage,” I muttered under my breath, staring at my reflection.i really look tempting
Mrs Parker stood behind me, while adjusting and fixing the robe, “ you've been here long enough to know how this works. You've watched the strippers do their thing, don't mess this up”. Her voice softened almost northerly. Romano Black is not a man to be toyed with, for such a man the name is impeccably befitting, I thought.
I know my boss, she'll do anything for the cash,and whatever the pay, i Know too well,she gets the lion's share
Before I could respond, she led me to the door of the room,gave all the instructions, and left me standing there,alone. My heart pounded as doubt crept in,What am I doing? My mom's warning about men echoed in my mind,but the reality of our financial struggles.With a deep breath i pushed the door open.
The room was dimly lit,the faint glow of warm lights casting shadows,he sat on the bed,his posture relaxed and commanding.
“You know what to do”he said,his voice slicing through the silence like a blade.
With trembling hands,I climbed onto the bed and placed them on his shoulders, beginning to knead his tense muscles,beneath his tailored shirt.The scent of his cologne surrounded me, intoxicating and overwhelming.The scent of oddly familiar. I couldn’t quite place it,but I knew I had encountered it before. The familiarity gnawed at me, teasing my mind as I tried to recall where I had smelled it.My heart raced as my slender fingers danced on his broad shoulders.
“That's enough”,he said, and I climbed down from the bed.
“Strip”, he said,his deep voice slicing through the silence like a blade.
I froze his words ringing in my ears.slowly, i untied the silk robe, letting it fall to the ground.The lingerie felt more revealing now then ever,and i wanted nothing more than to dissapear.His dark eyes roamed me, his gaze consuming but unreadable.
I felt like a prey under the eyes of the predator, vulnerable and exposed.My waist, my curves,the slight swell of my breast, nothing escaped his scrutiny.Then he smiled,a slow, wicked curve of his lips that made my stomach flip.
"I said strip," he repeated, his voice colder, cutting through the air like a blade. Panic surged through me as I shook my head, my lips trembling. "Wait... I hope he isn't asking me to go completely naked," I thought, my heartbeat thundering in my chest. Gathering courage, I met his gaze.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that," I said sternly, though my voice wavered slightly. His eyes narrowed, dark and menacing, and I instantly regretted my words. He stared daggers at me, the air between us thick with tension.
"The audacity," I imagined him thinking, as he stood abruptly, towering over me like a giant. I stumbled back instinctively, fear creeping into my every step as he closed the gap between us with deliberate strides.
Grabbing my face firmly yet not harshly, he tilted my chin, forcing me to look directly into his icy, unyielding eyes. His grip was commanding, his touch cold, and the authority in his gaze sent shivers down my spine.
“You dare refuse me? " he growled , his voice low and menacing “ I can end your life right where you stand.
Fear crawled at my chest as the door creaked open. His bodyguard from earlier stopped in.
I flinched,my body jerking as I feared the situation had just gone out of control,and at the same time embarrassed.Mission accomplished boss”, the guard said calmly,as though nothing unusual was happening.
Romano finally released his grip on me,his Cold gaze lingering on mine for a moment,putting on his jacket, soothing it with precision that made it look more menacing.
The guard walked over to a corner of the room and returned with a briefcase.He opened it to reveal neat stack's if dollars that gleaned under the low light,my eyes widened in bewilderment.
“ For the whore" he said flatly, his voice devoid of emotion. As though it was worth nothing more than the stacks of cash.
“Whore I fired back anger boiling in my veins, my shock gave way to unrestricted fury,And I forgot,for a moment, that I was standing before two dangerous men.
“ Who the hell do you think you are"
Who am i, he asked with a smirk,are you sure you want to know that sweetheart.
In my anger, I shoved the briefcase away and it crashed on the floor. The stacks of money scattered around us like Fallen leaves.
‘’ You think you can just trample on anyone”, you're nothing but a pervert.
The guard made a move towards me,but Romano stopped him.
Picking up my robe, attempting to Storm out,but before I could,his hand gripped my arm, pulling me back.
Turning to me he said,watch your tongue Young lady or I'll cut it off,he leaned in, his voice low and venomous, only a whore will sell herself for money. You agreed to my request because you desperately needed the money,You have no dignity.
“Leave us”, he commanded his guard,his tone leaving no room for argument. The guard bowed his head,left the room,and closed the door behind him.

Romano released my hand and moved closer, before I could react,his hands wrapped around my throat,not tight enough to hurt,but firm enough to send shivers down my spine. Then I realized how hopelessly outmatched I was."Let me go," I said, my voice trembling as I clutched his arm with both hands, desperate to loosen his grip."Beg for mercy," he demanded, his cold voice devoid of empathy.I shook my head defiantly, but his grip on my throat tightened, making it harder to breathe. Panic surged through me, and I finally whispered, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."A sinister smile played on his lips. "Good girl," he said, releasing me abruptly as if I were nothing.I stumbled back, gasping for air, my hands rubbing my sore neck. I felt crushed beneath the weight of his cruel dominance, but I refused to let him see me cry. Without another word, I stormed out of the room, holding back the tears threatening to spill.As I made my way down the dimly lit corridors of the club, my vision blurre

The medical personnel rushed in and out of the room, attending to my mother with urgency. I stood frozen by the door, soaked in her blood, but I didn’t care. The beeping of machines and the quick steps of the medical staffs were the only sounds I could hear. My eyes stayed locked on my mother’s still, unconscious form.I refused to leave her side, despite the repeated attempts by my neighbors to console me. They stayed with me for hours, I didn’t want their comfort; I wanted my mother back. But as the hours passed,they went home. Only Mrs. Laura stayed. Just before dawn, as the light of the early morning crept through the hospital’s windows, Mrs. Laura gently approached me. "Luna, you need to eat and rest," she said softly, her voice full of concern. "You’ve been here all night. Your mother’s going to be okay." But I shook my head, my grip tightening on my mother's hand. "No. I’ll stay with her. She needs me.""Your mother would want you to take care of yourself too," she said, he

I backed away until my back hit the wall. Romano followed, his towering frame closing in until there was no escape. My heart raced, and just as I was about to scream, he swiftly clamped his hand over my mouth.“There’s no need for that, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice low and dangerous. His face was inches from mine now, his dark eyes boring into mine. For a moment, I felt as though he was searching for something, his gaze lingering longer than it should have.Something about those eyes,his intense, penetrating stare,a strange sense of familiarity in me, but I couldn’t place it.Then he broke the silence, nodding toward a piece of paper lying on the table nearby. His hand dropped from my mouth as he reached into his jacket and handed me a card. “You might need this,” he said flatly, his tone unreadable.He stepped back. My hands trembled as I cautiously moved to the table. I picked up the paper and unfolded it. What I saw made me gasp. My breath caught as I stared at it, disbelief

They both turned to me, their faces shifting from playful to serious in an instant.“What’s up, Luna?” Lisa asked, her voice soft.I sighed, kicking at the sand as we walked. “It’s about my mom... or, well, the woman I thought was my mom. She told me recently that I’m adopted. She found me on her doorstep with a note and a pendant.”The words felt heavy leaving my mouth, like they were draining the energy from me. I stopped walking, wrapping my arms around myself as if to hold the pieces of me together.Ryan frowned deeply. “Wait, so... she’s not your biological mom? And she never told you until now?.I nodded, my voice trembling. “Yeah. My whole life... It feels like a lie. I don’t even know who I am anymore. Why was I abandoned? Who left me? And why now, of all times, did she decide to tell me?”Lisa reached out and squeezed my hand. “Luna, I can’t imagine how hard this is for you, but your mom the one who raised you,loves you. She’s still your mom. Blood doesn’t define that.”Ryan

I swallowed hard, my fingers fumbling as I unbuckled the belt and slid it free. His gaze bore into me, making it impossible to look away as I crouched to remove his shoes, socks, and then his pants entirely. He stepped out of them without breaking eye contact and moved to sit in the large mahogany chair.“His presence fills the room,” I thought. Every step, every glance, seemed deliberate, as though he was constantly asserting his dominance without needing to say a word.As I stood back, unsure of what to do next, he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Follow me,” he said, rising to his feet and walking toward the bathroom.“No,” I said firmly, shaking my head.He stopped, turning slowly to face me with an amused look. “No?”I nodded. “What do you want from me?”A dark chuckle escaped his lips. “Get in,” he commanded, the weight of his voice pressing down on me.“No,” I repeated, louder this time, standing my ground.He smirked, the amusement in his eyes shifting to some

Mrs. Parker looked up, her eyes widening in shock. “Luna, you’re soaked!” she exclaimed, her voice laced with concern or so it seemed.I didn’t buy her act. “Oh, please, ma’am,” I snapped, “don’t act all innocent. You know exactly what happened. You and that good-for-nothing Romano planned this, didn’t you?”Her expression shifted instantly. The faux concern vanished, replaced by a glare of pure rage. “Watch your tongue, young woman,” she hissed. “How dare you speak to me like that?”I hesitated for a moment, intimidated by her sudden shift in demeanor. But my anger outweighs my fear. “I’m not some toy you can exploit,” I shot back. “I quit.”Before I could take another breath, her hand struck me across the face. The sting of her slap burned, and for a moment, I was too stunned to react.“You ungrateful wretch,” she spat, her voice trembling with fury. “Before you quit, you’ll pay me every single dime you owe me.”Her hand raised again, ready to strike, but this time, it never landed.

After changing into the warm, dry clothes, I emerged from the bathroom, feeling more human. I thanked them profusely, but they only smiled.“If you don’t mind,” Kevin said, “you could work here for the time being, just until you find something else.”The offer caught me off guard. My chest tightened with gratitude. “Thank you. I’ll think about it,” I said, with a cheerful smile .As I left the restaurant, I waved down a cab. Once inside, I glanced at my phone and saw 15 missed calls. My heart sank,it was Mom. There were also several text messages:“Where are you?”“It’s late. Pick up your calls.”“You’re getting me worried!”The guilt weighed heavily as the cab pulled up in front of our house. The lights were still on, and I saw her pacing back and forth through the window.The moment I stepped out, she ran to me, pulling me into a tight embrace. “You had me worried sick!” she exclaimed, stroking my hair and looking me over. “What happened? And what’s with these clothes?”“Mom, let’s

We finished our meals while chatting and laughing. Joey’s laughter made the whole outing feel light and refreshing. Soon after, we headed back to the store together, talking and enjoying each other’s company. It was a simple day, but it left me feeling hopeful and lighter.Stacy was another little bundle of energy who frequented the shop. She always came with her nanny, a kind but slightly overwhelmed woman named Mary. Stacy, with her golden blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes, was a curious five-year-old who had a question for everything.As soon as she walked into the shop one afternoon, she ran straight to me, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny. “Luna! Why are all the clothes here so tiny? Are they for dolls?”I laughed, crouching down to her level. “No, sweetheart, they’re for kids like you. But maybe we should start a doll section, huh?”She gasped dramatically. “Yes! My bunny needs new clothes!”Mary called out from a nearby rack, “Stacy, don’t bother Luna too much!”“It’s oka

Suddenly, a faint noise came from the direction of Sophia’s room. “Daddy!” her small voice called out.Tommy paused, his head snapping in the direction of the sound. After a moment, he turned and strode out of the room, his boots echoing down the hallway.I waited, every second stretching into eternity, until I was sure he was gone. Then, slowly, I eased myself out of the hiding spot, my body shaking from the adrenaline.The woman reappeared moments later, her face pale and tear-streaked. You have to leave,” she whispered urgently, her voice hoarse. Now. Before he comes back.I nodded, my legs barely supporting me as I moved toward the window. Melissa was waiting for me outside, her expression a mix of relief and worry as I climbed out.We need to get out of here, I said, my voice trembling as I recounted everything I’d just witnessed.As we hurried away into the night, I couldn’t shake the image of the woman’s haunted eyes.

The woman’s bitter laugh sent shivers down my spine. “You think you can stop him? You have no idea what you’re dealing with. He’s dangerous, he'll kill you without a second thought.She stared at me, her eyes searching mine as if trying to find any hint of deceit. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourselves into. If you think you can fight him, you’re wrong. He’s too powerful. You’ll just end up like me broken, trapped, and hopeless.That’s why we’re here, I said, finding my voice. We need your help. You’ve seen more than anyone. You can give us the proof we need to bring him down.Her shoulders slumped slightly, but the suspicion in her eyes remained. “Why should I trust you?”Because we’re on your side, Melissa said, her tone softening. “We know the pain he’s caused. Let us help you end it.For a moment, the woman said nothing, her knife still trembling in her hand. Then, with a deep, shuddering breath, she let it fall to the floor.

I stepped forward, assisting Melissa as we carried Malia into the house and laid her gently on the couch. She was visibly intoxicated, her eyes half-open, her lips moving in a drunken mutter.I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of water, returning quickly to sprinkle it on her face. Mom knelt beside her, shaking her vigorously. "Malia! Malia, wake up!" she called desperately.Malia stirred slightly, her voice slurring as she mumbled, "He... he was there... He knows your plans... The truth... will be out..." Her arm weakly pointed at her mother, her words fading into gibberish."Malia, you’re drunk! What happened to you?" her mother demanded, panic thick in her voice. She turned sharply to Melissa, who was catching her breath. "Where did you find her? What happened?"I saw her stumbling out of a club, Melissa explained, her voice calm but tinged with concern. She was falling over herself, drunk and disoriented. I recognized her as Maya's sister and brought her here. I didn’t know w

What do you mean I can't be too sure?" Mom asked, turning back to me with a frown.I mean, you and Rufus go way back, but you haven’t seen each other in years. A lot can change, Mom, I said firmly, folding my arms.Her expression softened slightly, but her tone remained defensive. Luna, I know Rufus. He’s always been kind, honest, and trustworthy. There’s nothing to worry about.Well, I said, trying to choose my words carefully, you should still be cautious. People can change, especially after so long. Just try to keep your distance and watch closely.Mom sighed heavily, shaking her head. Luna, I don’t have time for this. she said, brushing past me.I watched her walk away, frustration building in my chest. She didn’t realize how dangerous this could be. Between Rufus reappearing in her life and Mr. Tommy’s increasingly suspicious behavior, it felt like the walls were closing in.This was overwhelming. I couldn’t involve the police,not yet. But I needed help. After much hesitation, I

That left just Minho and me, standing together in the terminal, trying to make the most of the dwindling moments we had left. We talked quietly, sharing memories, hopes, and promises. Each word felt like a thread tying us together, even as time worked to unravel us.When the boarding announcement came, my chest tightened. I pulled him into the tightest hug I could muster, feeling his warmth one last time. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, his lips lingering as if trying to leave a part of himself behind.I’ll miss you, Luna, he whispered, his voice heavy with emotion.I’ll miss you more, " I replied, my throat constricted with unshed tears.As he turned to walk toward the gate, we kept waving at each other, clinging to the last seconds of connection. He disappeared down the jetway, but I stayed, watching his plane rev into the sky until it was a mere speck. The roar of the engines faded, leaving behind an aching silence. I swallowed hard, determined to hold back my tears.With

My breath hitched. Their conversation seemed casual, but their body language suggested familiarity too much for my comfort. Rufus leaned in close to say something, and my mother laughed lightly, her face lighting up.What was she doing with him? And why did they look so comfortable together?A thousand questions flooded my mind. How did they know each other? Was she involved in whatever dark dealings Rufus was entangled in? The thought was too unsettling to bear.I froze, torn between confronting them or staying hidden. My heart raced, pounding louder with each passing second. As they walked closer to the bridge, I instinctively ducked behind a nearby pillar, peeking out just enough to keep them in view.“Why are you hiding?” Minho’s voice startled me from behind, causing me to jump. He held two bottles of soda in his hands, looking at me with confusion.I grabbed his arm, pulling him into the shadows with me. “Shh!” I whispered urgently, nodding toward the approaching figures.Minho

His smirk returned, he reached for a metal pipe and took a deep drag, exhaling thick, acrid smoke, Then with deliberate cruelty he forced my mouth open with his fingers,and blew the smoke directly into me.I gagged, the bitterness choking me,as the smoke invaded my lungs, almost immediately I felt my body grow weak, my strength draining, My visions blurred, everything dissolving into darkness.I tried to hold on to something,but the overwhelming haze pulled me under,and I lost consciousness.The flash of light burned into my eyes, forcing me awake. I instinctively rubbed them, groaning softly, only to jolt upright when I saw a familiar face, the bodyguard from the club, Romano’s right-hand man. He was pointing a flashlight at me, his expression stern.Don’t you want to go home?” he asked, switching off the light as I raised my hand to block it.I blinked a few times, adjusting to the dimness of dawn. He turned to sit properly in the driver seat, facing forward. My eyes darted to my si

His words struck me like a blow, leaving me speechless.Romano turned back to the door, gripping the knob tightly. His next words were cryptic. “The disappointment was a blessing in disguise,” he muttered.I frowned, confused. “What does that even mean?” I asked, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he opened the door and left without another word.Alone in the house, I sank into a chair, my mind racing. Flashes of everything that had happened ran through my head, and I remembered the hidden photo I’d seen in Rufus’s pocket, the one of Joey’s father. Could Rufus have been involved in his death?I thought about Romano. Who was he, really? Could he be some kind of gang leader? How much did he know?.One thing was certain,Romano was far more than just a branch manager. The questions burned in my mind, but the answers felt just out of reach.The questions weighed heavily on me as I lay down, trying to rest. Romano hadn’t returned, and the emptiness of the house only amplified my unease. What if

I nodded, hiding my fear behind a practiced smile. My hands trembled slightly as I unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his bare chest and rounded belly. He sat on the bed, patting the space beside him, motioning for me to join. I hesitated but eventually sat, keeping as much distance as I could.Rufus’s demeanor shifted, his touches becoming more forward. My skin crawled, but I played along, feigning calmness while my heart raced.Just as his hand grazed my arm again, the door flung open with a loud bang. I jerked in surprise, and Rufus turned sharply. The man who entered looked dangerous, his expression thunderous.He stormed over to us, handing Rufus the same photos Romano had given me earlier. Rufus studied them, and his face darkened with anger. Without warning, he turned to me, his eyes blazing with rage.Youhe spat, grabbing me by the shoulders and pushing me down onto the bed. His hands were around my throat in an instant, choking me as I struggled to breathe.I clawed at his arms,
