RIX'S P.O.V
"Come one, strip now, baby."
A man with a trashy attitude said, teasing me.
I just laughed awkwardly to avoid showing my disgusted face on him.
I am now serving elite foreign customers as per Madam Glo's command.
Although she doesn't want to put me here, she doesn't have a choice as we don't have anyone free when the customers arrive. I, myself, don't have a choice since I need money desperately.
These customers come here often when it's the end of the month but except Carla, one of the girls here, there's no other girl who would want to serve them.
That's because they're disgusting…
I wonder how Carla can keep up with them,. they're perverts and corny, to be honest.
Plus, their breath stinks…
"I like seeing new girls here, I'll give you tips!"
My eyes widened when I heard it, that's right! Give me that!
My smile automatically brightens after they give me tips, all those hardships paid off!
"Phew!"
I wiped the sweat on my forehead.
"That's rough!"
I exited the elite room number 5 with lots of sweat, I didn't expect it to be this hard to entertain people, I salute those who can do this everyday!
"How was it?" Madam Glo asks me.
I bumped into her when I walked towards the bar counter.
"It's okay, I received tips!" I am most happy with what I got.
I showed it to her happily.
"That's good! Anyways, I've got another elite customer for you, I think you've served him before."
Really?
"Who is it?"
It hasn't been long since I started to serve elite customers and before, I only served them when Madam Glo assured me that they're safe and kind, who could it be?
"His name is…" Madam Glo tilted her head.
"What's his name?"
"Hmm…"
What's taking her so long?
"I can't tell you his name…"
What?
"Why? Is it that confidential?"
Madam Glo nodded.
"Is that so…" Then, I guess we really have a choice but to just find out later.
"Does he order already?"
I at least want to go there when that customer has already placed an order so I don't have to wait and come back here.
I will just bring his order with me when I go there.
"Yes, he does, Harley!" He called the bartender.
"Give Rix the order of the elite room 2."
"Right away!"
Harley smiled at me.
He's so adorable!
When Harley finished preparing the order, he gave it to me and I went to elite room 2.
I wonder who it was that I served before?
I almost bumped with the customers in elite 5,
"Let's hide!"
I don't want them to see me, and I don't want to see them too!
I hid behind the curtain and waited for them to leave the hallway.
"Ha…" I look like a criminal that's hiding from the cops…
But this is better than bumping into them.
After they left, I walked quite fast so I could reach room 2.
I was sweating big time when I reached the door, I didn't waste no time, I pushed the little buzzer to let the person inside know that I'm here.
Seconds later, the signal lights up and I immediately went inside.
"Hi gentleman here's your-"
I didn't get to finish my sentence when I saw the familiar built inside.
I was stuck on the door while looking at the person in front of me.
Am I seeing it right?
In front of me is a handsome man with huge tits- I mean, huge built.
I can't be mistaken, I know he looked familiar!
I almost jumped when his eyes landed on me, I slowly placed his drinks on the mini table.
"H-here's your drinks…"
I couldn't help but to glance at him, why is he so handsome?
It feels like I'm being pulled by his mesmerizing blue eyes… Is he a royal? Someone with royal blood?
Gosh…
"Are you done?"
I was taken back by his voice, dude has a voice that'll fit those Hollywood stars!
"Ehem, yes I apologize." I tidy everything before I stand beside him, waiting for what he'll request.
We aren't allowed to sit beside the customers unless they told me to.
"Is there anything you need sir?"
I heard him sigh before sitting comfortably.
"None."
Woah, really?
Usually, the customers would request a kiss or whatever but he's not?
I like him already!
"Then, I'll excuse myself for now…" I bowed to him and slowly went to the door but was stopped by him.
"Where are you going?"
Huh?
"I'm going out?"
His eyebrows met.
"Who told you to?"
Whaaat?
"Uhm.." Isn't it you, sir?
"Stand there." He said, then pointed out the corner beside the couch that he's in.
Oh, so he doesn't have any request but he wants me to stay here?
You should've said it earlier sir!
I stood beside him and watched him as he played with his phone. He's spinning it with his big hands.
While we're like this, I can see how firm his body is, does he live in a gym?
Every corner of his body is heaven…
Correction, every corner that I'm seeing, okay?
But he really seems familiar…
Is it possible that we met in my past life? That's possible…
But, isn't he going to drink?
It's been a couple of minutes but he is still not drinking the drink that he ordered.
"Do you want me to open the drink for you, gentleman?"
He didn't respond.
Uhm…Sir? What are we going to do here?
If you don't want me here, you should've just said it so I'll get to assist more elite customers!
Ha…
"Sit."
"..."
Is he talking to me?
"You're bothering me. Sit here."
Mister georgous pointed the couch meter away from him.
I sat there slowly.
I thought he would request something but then he's just there, sitting quietly.
I feel like my ears would be numb when I go outside, all I could here right now is the sound coming from his hand which is still spinning his phone.
Is it my rest day?
Dude, I need to earn money!
But I can't say that to him, unless I want to be fired from my job…
Another couple of minutes have passed but he's still like that…
My soul almost left my body when his phone rang.
Goodness!
"Sì?"
Si? What does that mean?
"Yes. Tell me more about it."
I just sat there, comfortably while listening to him.
"Hire someone, I'm willing to pay."
Pay? Is it a job?
"As soon as possible." That's the last sentence from him before he cut the call.
What is he referring to when he said he's willing to pay and hire someone?
Does he need a maid or what?
Should I ask him?
I need money right now, and I'm willing to be hid maid if he needed one!
I better ask before this opportunity became waste!
"Uh-"
I didn't get to finish talking when he suddenly stood up. He grabbed his jacket and walked towards the door.
Wait! Where is he going?!
I stands up and followed him. I can't loose him right now!
"Wait!"
I called for him. Thankfully, he stopped walking.
He glance at my direction with his darken eyes.
Oh no…
Is he mad? Should I continue asking?
"U-uhm…"
I suddenly felt nervous, I feel like he's emitting a dangerous aura!
"What?" His baritone voice filled the room
"U-uhm, I heard that you need someone t-to hire? I uhm… May I know what k-kind of job is it?"
I finally said it!
I waited for his response but he didn't answer, Instead, he turn around, now, we are finally facing each other.
His gaze is intense, he is looking at me from head to toe without blinking.
I couldn't keep up with this…I can't stand having an eye to eye with him…
What is he thinking?
I feel like he is scanning my soul!
Did I say something wrong?
I just want to have a job!
"Hmm…"
That surprised me!
I glance at him, he is still looking at me.
"I think…You're okay."
R-really?
"I'll get someone to contact you."
He said then left the room.
Wait… Did I just passed a screening?
Is it for real?
That's all?
What's the job though? He didn't tell me…
"Hmm…" What could it be?
I stood there for a couple of minutes before I've decided to clean the room.
Looks like he won't come back, he didn't left anything and even punch out his card.
I look at where he sat, he didn't even drink the wine that he ordered.
Tsk.
How to be rich?
I clean the place and bring the wine on the dressing room.
We'll drink this later! Hehe.
I continued serving customers until the closing time.
"Can we really drink this?" Carla asks.
We're now here in the dressing room to change our outfits as we're about to go home.
"Of course! Let's drink! Everyone!" Charis shouted and opened the drink.
We just laughed at her because she's sulking just earlier and now she's happy.
We drink the wine and almost choked with it when madam Glo comes in.
"What? I won't scold you girls, enjoy the night!"
"Yey!" We celebrate the night by drinking the wine that the elite customer left and some free snacks by madam Glo.
"Hdhekdks!"
"What?" Charis said something but we can't understand.
"She's drunk!" Trixie exclaimed.
"I'm nosh dshunk!"
Haha! She's so funny!
Charis keeps on defending herself even though she is really drunk. We can't even understand what she's talking about!
"Can you go home?" Carla asks her.
Charis didn't respond, she instead clung to Carla.
"Ha…Looks like I need to get her home." Carla sigh.
"Is that okay? I can bring her home." I said.
Carla shook her head.
"It would be a hassle since you don't have a car, I'll take care of her, we'll go now before she passes out."
We helped her carry Charis to her car.
"Take care!"
We all bid our goodbyes to each other before we separate.
I started to walk to the bus station but I'm stopping from time to time because I feel dizzy sometimes.
I'll never drink that again!
We never thought that the wine had that kick! Since it's new, no one had ever tried it before, so we kinda regretted drinking it…
Thankfully, I am not that weak when it comes to alcohol tolerance, I still managed to stand and walk.
Ha…
"My feet are aching…"
Damn these heels!
I forgot to change before I went home…
When I saw the bus stop, I walked faster so I could rest my feet.
When I'm finally sat, I stretch my feet.
"Oh, wow, that's great!"
I will wait here until a bus comes…
I waited for five minutes but the bus didn't come.
"Looks like something happened?"
Usually, buses didn't come this late as it is still morning and it's not a rush hour.
So why is it late?
Buses have schedules here and it's past its schedule…
Where is it? I want to lay down…
Not to mention that my head's started to spin a little.
"Hmm…"
I should keep my eyes closed for now…
***
"..."
"Ye-"
"Then what-"
"Shh!"
"She's waking up!"
Huh?
What's that sound?
"Ack!"
I tried to open my eyes but my head started to ache.
What's happening to me?
-Oh!
I forgot, I had a drink with the girls…
"She's alive?"
"Of course she's alive!"
Wait, who's talking?
I tried to open my eyes again, at first, it's blurry but when it became clear, my eyes widened.
"What the fuck?"
I immediately sat and cover my body using my hands.
"Who are you?!"
In front of me are three men, they're all sitting with a smile on their faces.
"Uhm, Hi?" One of them said,
I look around, this place isn't familiar to me.
What did they do to me?!
"Who are you?! Why am I here?!"
The man on my side scratched his head.
"Well, we kidnapped you."
W-we w-what?!
RIX'S P.O.V"What are you talking about? What do you mean you kidnapped me?"I look at them confused, are they serious right now?The one in front of me met my gaze and said."We have something important to say to you, Miss.""What is it? But can you let go of me first? It's uncomfortable…""Oh yes sure of course!"The guy on my right removed the tie on my wrist."So what are you going to say to me?"I ask them while I am massaging my wrist, it's aching a little because of the rope's friction on it."Maybe we should change location first?'The guy on the left side.We all agreed to him because it is really uncomfortable talking here as we are all seated on the floor.They guided me to a room where everything looks expensive. I feel like we are in a five-star hotel and everything around me might break when I touch it.Just who are they and what do they want from me? Who is in their right mind to kidnap someone just because they want to say something?What if they are bad people and th
RIX's P.O.VWe continue running, even though we're already exhausted, it didn't stop us from keeping our legs moving. Harley runs faster than me but I can tell that he is running slower so I could catch up to him."You…hah…can…" I was about to say that he can leave me and run faster instead but I am having a hard time catching my breath. When we got to the 3rd block, Harley held my hand and pulled me somewhere.What is he doing?!He pulled me to a dark alley and covered my mouth with his left hand.I stood there shocked by what he did. What if that man in a tuxedo sees us here? I looked around and my anxiety grew when I saw that we're in a dead end. How could we escape that man if this is already a dead end?!Oh no, what should we do? A few more steps… he's getting nearer… and nearer… AHHHCK!I knelt and progressed into rapping. "Please kill us! I mean, no! Don't kill us! You won’t get anything good from our bodies!”The old man ruffles his brow. Oh my god, am I not that convincin
"I'm sorry, Apollo.""APOLLO? HA!" his voice has become lower, his lips are now on my ears, and… but… it's scarier. "Who told you?"Huh?What is he trying to ask?"What do you mean?”"Who told you you can call me that?" he asked."What should I call you, then?" I asked, as low as I could. As submissive as I can."Nevermind, I'm not on the names now," he said. He's calmer this time. But not me and my tears. "I told you to stay quiet, and I will do the rest. I told you that clearly, but how dare you mess up everything?"I can't say anything. I was just looking downward, while I sat on his bed, and he was on the side of me, nagging. I took a deep sigh, and bit my lower lip."What have you done to my image, Beatrix? What would they tell me about you? I'm afraid to even come back.""Maybe you should hire a different pretend wife," I said, nearly cracking up, almost bursting into tears.There were a few tears that were escaping, but it's manageable. "I'm sorry, did I hear you right?"
RIX's P.O.V.Last night he left my leg wide open, while facing the door, where maniacs are waiting for a free viewing. Apollo paid me for that fuck, how dare them sneak peak?Those darns!Harley came in after that, and I was already putting my clothes on. He drives away the perverted cooks while entering the storage room, where I’m in.He asked me if I'm alright, but I really am. There's nothing to worry about me, I can take care of myself, and that’s it. I went home, with my pockets fully equipped. People always ask me about being okay. You know, it's not that bad if I experience not being okay because most of my days are like that. It's inevitable, how could I change that fact?I can't change anything. But it's good that there's always a little light in the middle of darkness. There's always stars that shine in the dark galaxy. It's not okay to be in the middle of the storm.But it'll be more not okay if I dwell into it, or try to make myself believe I'm fine when I'm not. I
RIX's P.O.V.I clenched my fist, and bang the table. How dare he!“Rix! What are you doing with the table? Don't take out your anger on the furniture or you'll pay for it,” said Charis, struggling to keep out her laugh, while exchanging laughs and gazes with Harley.“Are you crazy? I'm not furious! Who would make me furious? It’s out of my league and you know that," I said but my brows are still standing ruffled, not bothering to straighten it up. Charis tapped my shoulder, and still teasing me!AISH.“Really, that wasn't my priority right now,” I defended. “If you guys think I like him, you're wrong!” I walked away and served drinks and foods that had been given to me. I don't like him, but he turned me on. Were having sex, no strings attached, but.. but…I feel like I was betrayed.Come to think of it, he was always the one to satisfy me. But me? I never satisfied him. I always did nothing for him. He was the one who was leading the sex.Ahckkk. I closed my eyes aggressively as
RIX's P.O.V.I smirked. He was now on my boat. Instead of doing his favor, I let him chase me. At the edge of the library, there's this mini table and chairs attached to the wall where you can sit, relax and read. Again, its purpose was just to sit, relax, and read. However this isn't what i was about to do today. I wasn't planning to maintain my innocent image in the library. He went beside me, and glared at me. He put my right hand at his dick, opened his zipper using his other hand, and let my hand infiltrate his pants. I smiled at him.“Wait here,” I said. Since he was sitting beside me, I had to come past him to get out of the chairs. I didn’t ask him to stand up and make a way for me. Instead, I sat on his lap, grind on top of it, and went out. Then I smirked and went away.I felt it hardened.Every piece of his reaction is turning me on. Darn, I might be the one to get deeper with my feelings. I shouldn't be!Before I went inside with Apollo, I saw a street resident,
RIX's P.O.V.We’re home. We reached Apollo's condo, and he's escorting me out nonchalantly.He's not talking, but just coldly looking at me. "Leave us, I can manage her," said Apollo to the driver."Alright, sir! got it!" the driver said. It was a long hallway through the elevator. It seems like this is my first time coming here, when in fact, it's not. I've been here.The first time was when he let me meet his family without saying it out loud. without asking me permission. Well, that was actually the same time I was embarrassed because of the damn cake.So what is it this time?We reached his condo. This is the first time I'm gonna be able to appreciate the beauty of his home.He pulled me into the living room, where the l-shaped couch was placed."I was actually planning on bringing you here and letting you live. However, my dad is really suspicious. We're living in the mansion."My eyes widened. "Then why do you have to bring me here?!" I asked. "Just to talk with you. wha
RIX’s P.O.V.I saw him, drunk. Why are tears approaching?I can't stop it. It keeps on streaming down. Am I a fucking asshole?A stupid woman?Why am I doing this to myself?And why am I feeling this?A shit!I tried to look again at the hole. I saw nothing anymore.The girl is gone so I went outside to check if Apollo is awake. But he's not. He probably drank too much alcohol to be awake by now. Going home must've been a nightmare for him.Harley calling… I answered the phone."Do you want to go here?" He asked as soon as I answered. I thought about it for a second. I thought about the things I would reply to. "Is there an exciting event in there?" I asked. "Of course! You know there's always something new you could only see, exclusively in this very club. Besides, your husband must be sleeping by now. "Harley is good at convincing huh? I won't deny it. He must've undergone the practice. "But what if something happened?" I asked."For once, think about no one, but you. Yo
3rd P.O.V.Apollo and Beatrix arrived at Grandma's house in the morning. Donny was already waiting at the door, dressed in his favorite superhero costume."Hey, little man," Apollo said, picking up Donny and giving him a hug."Hi, Dad!" Donny said, grinning from ear to ear.Beatrix smiled at the sight of them. "Are you ready to go visit Charis at the hospital?" she asked Donny.Donny's face fell. "Is Auntie Charis sick?" he asked."She's feeling a little under the weather, but we're going to bring her some flowers and make her feel better," Beatrix explained.Donny perked up at the idea of giving Auntie Charis flowers. "Can I pick the flowers?" he asked."Of course," Apollo said, ruffling his son's hair.They drove to the hospital, with Donny eagerly pointing out every flower he saw on the way. When they arrived, they made their way to Charis's room. She was lying in bed, looking weak and tired."Hey, Charis," Beatrix said, placing the flowers on the bedside table.Charis tried to smi
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix was excited to finally go home after being confined in the hospital for days. Apollo came to visit her every day, and he even brought her favorite flowers and snacks. Beatrix was grateful for his presence, and she felt a sense of comfort every time he was around.As they left the hospital, Apollo suggested they go to the nicest restaurant in town to celebrate Beatrix's homecoming. Beatrix was hesitant at first, feeling that they didn't need to spend so much money, but Apollo insisted.Once they arrived at the restaurant, Beatrix was taken aback by its grandeur. She had never been to a place like this before, and she felt a bit out of place in her casual clothes. However, Apollo reassured her that she looked beautiful and that she deserved to be treated like a queen.They were seated in a private room with a beautiful view of the city. The table was set with the finest silverware and crystal glasses. The waiters were attentive, and the chef personally came to their t
3rd P.O.V.Beatrix felt a knot form in her stomach as she watched Charis walk away with the group of men. She knew she had to talk to her friend, but she also didn't want to make a scene in front of the strangers.Taking a deep breath, she approached Charis once the men had disappeared from sight. "Charis, can we talk?"Charis stopped in her tracks and turned to face Beatrix. "What do you want to talk about?"Beatrix hesitated, unsure of how to broach the subject. "I just wanted to check in on you. Are you okay?"Charis rolled her eyes again. "Of course, I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?"Beatrix frowned. She could tell that something was off about Charis, but she didn't want to push too hard. "Well, you just seemed...distant lately. Is everything going alright with you and Harley?"Charis scoffed. "Harley? He's the least of my problems right now."Beatrix was taken aback by Charis' sudden bitterness towards her husband. "What do you mean?"Charis hesitated before finally speaking. "I just
As soon as Beatrix woke up, the first thing she does is think.Beatrix couldn't get Charis out of her mind. She had been overthinking about her friend's life for days. What could have happened to make Charis run away from the pack of men like that? And why did she choose to disappear into the night instead of seeking help from the people she knew would always have her back?Beatrix had always known Charis to be a strong, independent woman, but lately, she had noticed that her friend had been struggling. Charis seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and Beatrix couldn't help but feel guilty for not noticing sooner.As Beatrix walked along the shore, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the crashing waves. She looked out into the vast ocean and felt a sense of peace wash over her. But even the calming waves couldn't ease her mind.She thought about all the times she and Charis had spent together, laughing, dancing, and having a great time. They had been
Charis paced back and forth outside the reception venue, her hands tightly gripping her dress. She could see Beatrix approaching her with a warm smile on her face."Charis! There you are. Is everything alright?"Charis sighed and turned to face Beatrix. "No, everything's not alright. I'm so mad at you, Beatrix, and I don't even know why."Beatrix's expression turned to one of concern. "Why are you mad at me? Did I do something to upset you?"Charis shook her head. "No, it's not you. It's just... it's just that you have everything, Beatrix. You have the perfect wedding, the perfect husband, the perfect life. And I can't help but feel jealous."Beatrix's smile softened. "Charis, you don't have to be jealous. I'm not perfect, and my life isn't perfect either. And besides, you have Harley. You married the man you love."Charis scowled. "That's just it, Beatrix. Even though I married Harley, it seems like he still likes you. Every time we're together, he can't stop talking about you. It's
3rd P.O.V.The sun was setting on the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the beach. The waves gently lapped against the shore, creating a calming sound that mingled with the soft chatter of the guests. The beach was decorated with simple yet elegant white flowers, accentuated with subtle hints of blue that matched the ocean's hue.Beatrix looked stunning in her white wedding gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. Her dark hair was styled in a loose, flowing braid, adorned with small white flowers that complemented her bouquet. She looked nervous but happy as she stood beside the altar, waiting for Apollo to arrive.Apollo arrived in a sleek black suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and chiseled jawline. He looked confident and composed, a contrast to Beatrix's nervous energy. He walked towards Beatrix with purpose, his gaze fixed on her. When he reached her, he took her hand and smiled softly at her, reassuring her.The ceremony was simple and intimate, offici
3rd P.O.V.Papers were flying around the room, and Mr. Cartier was seething with anger over the report detailing the downfall of his company since Apollo's resignation. He was desperate to do whatever it took to win back his son and bring him back to the company to boost sales.The situation was particularly challenging because Mr. Cartier's company was outdated and struggling to stay afloat. The scattered papers covered the floor as a visual representation of his frustration and disappointment.In his rage, he called for his assistant to fetch him a cup of coffee and urgently contact his wife. He needed her support and presence at that moment.Harold, one of the individuals Mr. Cartier had entrusted with the company's operations, had been a letdown. Despite his frequent travels, including visits to the rural city where Beatrix resided, all Harold seemed to care about was possessing her. He hoped that by achieving this, he could claim victory over Apollo in at least one aspect.Mr.
RIX’s P.O.V.It suddenly became quiet inside the hut, leaving me wondering what had happened or if they had already settled their differences. I clearly heard earlier that Charis wanted to separate from Harley, but now they seemed to have another chance and were probably having a thorough conversation. I couldn't help but smile at the thought.Charis and Harley had been together for four years, the same age as Adonis. It was impressive that they had managed to communicate, confront their feelings, and keep them hidden for so long. Especially for Charis because I know that from the very beginning, he had feelings for Harley and was just keeping it to herself.Charis had been dating other guys to cover up her emotions and hide her true feelings for Harley, but somehow she had managed to keep her feelings intact without getting attached to anyone else.The attachment she had with Harley was deep-rooted and difficult to remove. Suddenly, Harold, Seb, and Michael came into my mind.Yeah
RIX’s P.O.V.I could feel myself breaking down as I made my decision in front of everyone watching me on the app during my lowest point.Do you watch me stand up on my own when the world tries to knock me down?Apparently, I wasn't alone when facing the most challenging moment of my life because my friends were here, witnessing my growth.They offered their help, but I kept refusing it.And if I said I don't feel anything for Apollo anymore, I would be lying. BECAUSE I STILL DO!Honestly, I would like to give it another try.Perhaps my initial decision was influenced by the overwhelming number of eyes watching me.Humans can be foolish.Friends often advise their hurt loved ones to stay away, but those same friends act as if they're listening while secretly still engaging with the person who hurt them— going back to the same place that hurts them.I wanted to avoid falling into that pattern.I'm only human. I'm not a superhuman capable of controlling my emotions to the point of making
