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

I fought desperately to stay awake, my mind racing with questions and my body trembling with fear and exhaustion. But whatever the man had administered to me earlier, the vapors still lingering in my system, took their toll. My limbs grew heavy, my vision fading as I struggled to hold on.The masked man’s familiar eyes were the last thing I saw before the darkness claimed me. My thoughts slipped away,my eyes closing as the world around me dissolved into nothingness.I woke up slowly, my head pounding and my body weak, lying on what felt like a soft mattress. The air smelled faintly of antiseptic, mixed with the clean scent of linen. I blinked, my vision adjusting to the dim light of the room. It was small but tidy, with beige walls, a single window covered by heavy curtains, and a wooden chair placed by the bed.I tried to move, but my body felt sluggish. Panic started to rise again as I remembered the events from earlier,the men, the girl, the masked stranger. My heart raced. Where a

This was my mistake, thinking it was Minho orchestrating some grand romantic gesture.My excitement took over, and I quickly rose from the table, clutching the flower. I stepped outside into the cool evening air, scanning for him.But he wasn’t there.The parking area was quiet except for a few cars and the distant hum of traffic. Confused, I looked around, wondering if this was a prank. My mind raced with possibilities, an admirer, maybe? Then, a few meters away, I noticed a shadowy figure holding a similar red rose and a small girl by the hand. He waved at me.Curiosity set in, I decided to approach, my heels clicking against the pavement. As I drew closer, I felt a strange unease, but I shook it off, blaming my overactive imagination. Just as I was about to call out to him, everything went dark.A hand covered my nose and mouth from behind, muffling my scream. The faint scent of chemicals overwhelmed me, and the world blurred before fading into nothingness.I woke up in a dimly lit

I turned around, startled, only to see Stacy running toward me. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she threw her arms around me.Stacy I exclaimed, hugging her tightly. How have you been?.“I’ve missed you so much, Luna," she said, holding on as if she’d never let go.Behind her, Nanny walked in, smiling warmly. Mom and I exchanged surprised looks before Mom asked, “What happened? Where have you been?”Well, Nanny began, “we left the country for a while. That’s why we haven’t been coming to the store.I told Nanny I wanted to buy some accessories,” Stacy chimed in excitedly, but I mostly just wanted to see you, Luna!”I couldn’t help but laugh at her enthusiasm. You’ve grown so much, Stacy, I said, kneeling to her level.Do you think so? she asked, twirling around.Absolutely! So, what kind of accessories are we shopping for today?Everything Stacy declared with a giggle.Nanny chuckled. “She’s been talking about this visit ever since we got back five days ago. I think she missed yo

But she shook her head firmly. Listen, dear, she said, pushing the envelope back toward me, this isn’t payment for taking care of Joey. Your hospitality cannot be paid with some currency notes.It’s just my way of trying to help. Daniel told me you’ve been struggling to find a job, so I spoke with Mr. Antonio. I gave him your contact information. He’ll be in touch soon.Tears welled up in my eyes. Oh, Grandma,” I said, hugging her tightly, “I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain.You’ve already done more than enough, Luna,she replied, wiping her tears. Then her voice broke as she continued, As for Joey, we’ll be leaving the country soon. He needs to be surrounded by family, and it’ll be too hard for both of us to stay here with all the memories. I don’t know when we’ll return, but when we do, you’re always welcome to visit.I nodded, unable to find the words to respond. The thought of leaving them weighed heavily on me.Later that day, I packed my things, getting ready

Can I sleep here tonight? he asked softly, clutching a pillow. It feels lonely in my room.I smiled, patting the space next to me. Of course.He climbed into the bed, snuggling close. “Thanks, Luna. You’re the best.”As his little breaths evened out in sleep, I realized just how much I enjoyed being here. Now I wish I had a baby brother to keep me company.Joey and I had settled into a comfortable routine when his grandma arrived, a few days later. She was a cheerful, beautiful woman with soft gray hair that framed her warm, kind face.As soon as Joey saw her, he ran up to her, throwing his arms around her and planting a kiss on her cheek. Grandma, you look so cool he said, his eyes sparkling with admiration.She chuckled, stroking his hair. Oh, my little boy, I’ve missed you.I walked up with the maid to help carry her bags inside. Joey, ever the polite host, introduced us. Grandma, this is Luna, my friend.Grandma turned to me with a knowing smile. So, this is the famous Luna I’ve h

Hospital? I struggled to piece together what had happened, but my mind felt foggy, the details slipping through my fingers like sand.Why… Why am I here?" I asked, my throat dry and scratchy.Don’t worry, the voice reassured me. You’re going to be okay. Just rest for now.But before I could ask anything more, my body betrayed me, dragging me back into the darkness.When I finally woke up, sitting upright in the hospital bed, Mom rushed over to me, pulling me into a tight hug.Oh, my dear, how are you feeling?” she asked, her voice trembling with relief.I’m fine, Mom,I said softly.The doctor walked in just then, clipboard in hand, giving me a warm smile. Good to see you awake, Luna. You’re doing well. We’ll discharge you today.Today? I repeated, confused. Wait, how long have I been here?Two days later, he said matter-of-factly.Two days? I turned to Mom in shock.She gave me a reassuring smile. Don’t worry, honey. You’re fine now, and that’s all that matters.The doctor excused hi

He was impossible to ignore tall, confident, and dressed in a sharp blue suit that fit him perfectly. His presence alone commanded the room. Heads turned, whispers began, and I wasn’t the only one caught staring.The women in the room were visibly entranced, their smiles widening as if his arrival was the highlight of their night. Even a few men seemed momentarily struck.He moved with a quiet grace, like he knew every eye was on him but didn’t need to acknowledge it. His white hair stood out, crisp and refined, and his piercing, crystal-clear eyes swept across the room. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.Then he raised his hand, and his deep voice rolled out, effortlessly cutting through the noise. “Attention, everyone,” he said.That voice. Smooth, commanding, with just a hint of warmth. It felt like he could have said anything, and I would’ve hung on every word.Wow, you didn’t even need to ask for attention,you already had it, I thought, unable to stop the flutter in my chest.Claud

I glanced at Stacy, who had fallen asleep on the couch, her small figure curled up under a blanket. She looked so peaceful, so unaware of the worry surrounding her.No, Mom, I said, shaking my head. I think we should take her home with us tonight. We’ll report to the police in the morning if her father or nanny doesn’t show up.Mom hesitated but eventually nodded. All right. Let’s do that.Carefully, we carried Stacy to the cab. She didn’t stir as we drove home, her soft breathing the only sound in the quiet of the night.When we got home, she woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. I gave her a bath and dressed her in one of my shirts. The sight of her in it made us both laugh; she looked so tiny. She joined Mom and me for dinner, her energy returning with each bite.Stacy, do you know your home address?” Mom asked gently over dinner.Stacy shook her head. No. I’m at my nanny’s new house so I can spend the weekend with her, but I don’t know how to get there.”Do you know why your dad didn’

I’m so sorry, Luna, but I have to leave now,” Claudia said, pulling her phone from her pocket. She handed it to me. “Here, can I get your contact please? I’d love to keep in touch.”I smiled and quickly typed in my number. “Sure, I’d like that.”With that, Claudia bid me goodbye, and I watched her leave the restaurant. I waved to Pa Kevin and Matilda on my way out, thanking them again for their kindness, and then headed home.Back in my room, I rummaged through my closet and pulled out a beautiful dress my mom had given me for my twentieth birthday. Holding it up against myself, I stood in front of the mirror and twirled, admiring how it hugged my body perfectly.For a moment, I let myself dream. I had signed up for a modeling contest once, right after receiving this dress, but I didn’t make it past the casting call.I sighed, brushing my hand over the fabric. It had been nearly three years since I started chasing the idea of a modeling career, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t for me.
