Episode 02

Five years later.

"Selene, you're on table three." The gay manager of a night club that Selene attends shouted loudly. She has been in that career for five years, selling her b*dy for pleasure.

"Yes mother, coming," Selene energetically answered the boss who took care of her for almost those years.

"Hi, sir welcome to Mamang's Nightclub, are you a first time visitor?" Selene began to talk while sitting next to him.

"Yes. Anyway I am with someone, I was just ahead of my boss coming here," the voice of the man in his mid-30's is brusque, he is dressed casually with his black polo shirt and pants. 

Selene nodded. "Anyway, I’m Selene."

He introduced himself to her too, while sitting down beside her. He accepted her simple introduction and said his name is Jericho.

"Good, we have time together. Drinks?”

“Yeah, sure.” 

Selene handed the newly opened beer to the man as she smiled widely. He needs that posture for good customer service. She is a stripper in front of the male audience, sometimes dancing or sometimes showing off , for the VIP’s.

Selene couldn't survive in any job, she always got caught of her past and rejected. She could no longer bear the hunger so she just accept to returned to this place, where Liset pushed her. At first, she could not fully accept that her friend was leading her to be a prostitute. The address she gave did not match the description of the people she told her was.

She just get braver and comply to her fate.

"Are you busy with in life?" Selene spread her thighs and crouched slightly as she moved a little closer to the man in beside her. She did it on purpose to expose her cleavage from healthy breasts. Her voice was also quite loud because of the sounds that were thundering throughout in the bar.

"Ah, I work as a Secretary," he answered.

"Secretary of?"

"By the boss of a company," he answered weakly.

Selene's eyes widened at what her tablemate pointed out, she bit her lip slightly as if she liked that information.

"Your boss is big time, maybe I can meet him, can I?" Now Selene's tone of voice seems to be flirting. She likes the smell of their rich customers, give big tips and are good in bed, too.

Jericho stuttered at what he taught, but after a few moments he also said yes. It's also not a man's inclination to go to bars, if his boss didn't offer him a bonus, he wouldn't do what he was told to do. This meet up with Selene is a set-up.

"Do you want me to take you to my boss now?" Jericho offered. His boss wasn't really coming, because the plan is to bring Selene to him.

…

"Alright, take her to my room."

I didn't follow Jeriko to the bar anymore, I was too exhausted from work, that's why when I found out that he got Selene's trust, I immediately ordered him to go to my Condominium Unit, cause I need to talk to her, privately.

I have been looking for her for a long time, to personally help. I keep asking my friends at our old place for updates if there is any news on Selene, their only answer is, nothing. To be honest, I have lost hope that we can meet face to face and talk properly. I know that scandal brought her so much pain, that even her family disowned her.

That's why when the last private investigator I hired told me that he had found Selene, I immediately gave a signal to Jeriko to help me rescue her. But what saddened me about what happened was her status now, she has become a stripper in a night club.

I heard the click of the Condominium door lock, a signal that they were here.

I hesitated to face them because I didn't want Selene to suddenly go hysterical if she saw me. I kept looking outside my place, the buildings below where my room was located seemed to be ornaments to my eyes, they were flickering with lights. It was dark outside, even half of my receiving area’s place was also dark.

I am gathering the things to say in front of poor Selene, and after I ask for forgiveness I will help her to start over. A decent job will do, I think. Or maybe something more.

"Sir, we are here."

I gave Jeriko instructions on what to do next which he also got, after that he went straight home. I even saw him gesture to Selene, for reasons I couldn't understand.

"You may sit down," I offered her.

…

I placed the imitation bag on the soft sofa of the beautiful and spacious Condo that Jeriko and I went at. I was happy when he agreed to let me meet to his boss, without any payment for the favor. Usually they taste me first before transferring to their rich acquaintances. Well, I am this desperate to find a proper sugar daddy. I'm getting a little tired of the daily routine of my life, get up, go to work, then have s*x for the money. Again and again, I can have s*x every day but I don't want to wake up early and take care of food. I want to be the princess of a big mansion, that's all!

Jeriko said that his boss was still young, that's why I started to get excited and liked him even more.

"How many hard muscles does he have?" I smiled to myself, biting my lower lip.

"So, shall we begin?" I asked.

I was a little observant of him, because since we arrived I still couldn't peak on my client's face. He had been looking at his glass window for a while.

Nothing interesting at all.

He seems to be the shy type, but that's okay unless he was a good fighter in bed. Even with his back turned, it was obvious from his posture that he was only in his mid-30's.

And he also seems to smell good, huh.

"Hmm, okay, if you're still busy, is it okay if I take a shower first? You know, so I'm ready for later."

I just frowned when the man didn't respond to me again. There was a bit of disappointment and fear because I might later go to a psychopath. "Okay, I'll take that as a yes, I'll just find where the shower room is. Go ahead and get drunk on the wine first, so that later you will be very hot and wild. Rawr!"

I was serious about reminding him, I prefer eagerness that will drown me in pleasure when the magical weapon is ready.

Soon I felt the fresh and cold water on my skin. I soaped my whole body properly, wash with feminine liquid and put on a lot of perfume. I am determined to get his as my new sugar daddy.

I didn't have a blower with me so I wipe my still dripping hair with clean towel. I shuffled my feet towards the receiving area where the burly man was still there.

"That one is definitely handsome," I smiled while talking to myself. “Jackpot!”

But all my joy was suddenly cut when I passed a familiar photo on a table displayed in the living room. I even raised it to make sure my suspicion was correct. In shock at what I saw, I even dropped the photo, causing the very frame of it to break and the bruise to be scattered at my feet. I don't care anymore because my hands are shaking more.

“Selene.”

I'm a fool, why didn't I recognize his voice when he invited me to sit earlier? I slowly turned my gaze to the man who now called me. The emotions flowing through my chest have mixed , there is annoyance, anger and fear. I even felt sick in part of my heart, I wanted to feel nauseous from the irritating feeling taking over my system.

"You? What are you doing here?” Well, he was the least expected person I was willing to meet, not just now, but ever.

"Are you okay?" I didn't answer his question, so he attended to me quickly, folded my hand with him and felt if there was any wound. But because of my other emotions towards him, I immediately withdrew my palm at his.

“Drake Sebastian.”

Yes, he is Claire's ex-fiance who I was involved in the s*x scandal five years ago.

But what I can't believe even more is that the girl with him in the photo, Liset my demonic best friend.
