Katie's POV
"What… What is this?" I stammered, as I rubbed my eyes, trying to see what was on the paperwork before me. My hand trembled as I reached towards it, and as soon as I got it, I took it over to my eyes, which widened in shock and fear after I had read it.
It was a contract that would officially make me a sex toy in the club.
"No, please" I whispered, shaking my head as tears rolled down my cheeks. "I don't think I can do this. No, I can't!”
The paper fell down my hands and laid on the floor.
"How dare you!" I heard his loud and cold voice which sent shivers down my spine.
"I apologize, but I can't do it. Give me another punishment or job, I will take it but not this" I said, shakily, my nose started getting so runny that it stained half of my face.
He scoffed, and grabbed my chin which he took upwards to face him. "I gave you an option, but you weren't ready for it" He said, his deep voice resounding.
"I don't have the money," I said, shaking my head. "If I did, I would have paid, I swear. The money is too much that I feel I won't be able to save for it, even after many years"
"I don't care," He sneered. "You shall as I asked, since you don't have the money. Sign the fucking paper"
"I have a reason" I squeaked, closing my eyes tightly.
"What?" He whispered, confused for a while. I gulped audibly and slowly opened my eyes, and it fell on his angry looking face, and when my eyes fell in contact with his sharp glaring eyes, I hurriedly carried it elsewhere.
"Do you have a reason?" He scoffed and I nodded quickly, mumbling a "Yes"
"What is the reason?" He asked.
I wanted to respond but it suddenly felt like there was a lump on my throat. I suddenly became dumbfounded, and numb.
"Aren't you going to talk? Or a cat got your tongue?" He mocked, and laughed.
I only nodded, since it was still hard for me to speak. Although, fresh hot tears were leaving my eyes. I was pained and bitter to the core. I was beginning to regret and hate my existence. I hoped that even the floor would just open up and swallow me up.
"Speak!" He yelled. "What is the reason? You can't just make me curious and turn deaf, I won't have it. You shall not take me for a fool because I'm not"
After he said those words, he brought the sharp edge of the knife to the side of my face, and I shook in fear. Even my teeth began to tremble and clatter so much.
"You aren't still talking, huh?" He smirked, as he took the knife to my neck.
I gulped down heavily, and my throat seemed to sake as a result of that.
"I will speak!" I screamed, and his eyes darted to my face.
"Then speak," He said, as his thick eyebrows went downwards.
"I don't think I will be able to work in the club because… because I don't think I will be able to do what the others do" I said, after hesitating for a long period of time.
His left eyebrow went up when he heard that, and he stared perplexed at me. "What is that supposed to mean? Is that supposed to be the reason?" He growled.
"I… I…" I stammered, dramatically.
"Shut up! I got curious for no reason. Sign the paper, I don't want to talk too much" He said.
"I'm a virgin!" I cried, and he turned to face me. We looked at each other for a while, intently and deeply, without uttering a word. However, he broke the long silence with a mischievous laugh.
When he was done, he faced me, and I saw how different he looked- Daring and infuriated.
"You are a virgin?" He asked, trying to be serious.
"Yes" I whispered, nodding my head. "I have never had sex before"
"So, I'm guessing you have nothing? You are simply useless, you are poor and can't pay, and you are a virgin, how will you satisfy the men now? Why did you have to come into my life and cause such a huge mess? It's impossible for you to leave now," he said.
I just stayed there, hoping for a slight miracle. Probably, something would make me go back in time, and I would avoid him at all cost, and even the so-called expensive clothes that I had stained mistakenly.
He said nothing, all he did was to walk around, and think deeply. I let out a sigh, and looked down. I thought of what might happen to me. I just wanted to leave there. I didn't want to see him because he scares me so much.
"I want to go home badly" I whispered, as I felt coldness on my body.
He quickly faced me, and his eyebrows knitted. His eyes turned angry, and there was a frown slowly occupying his face.
"What did you just say?" He asked, and I pointed at my chest before giving him a reply.
"I didn't say anything"
"You liar!" He spat. "I heard you, but your voice wasn't too clear so I could not get the statement. Anyway, you said something behind my back. What was that?"
I swallowed hard and thought of what to say. Something quietly came to my mind, and I heaved in relief. I slowly carried my gaze to him.
"I wanted to beg you" I whispered.
"Beg me?" He asked, coming closer.
I nodded. "Yes. Please pardon me this last time. Just give me a year and I will pay you"
"A year?" He scoffed.
"Yes, I promise," I nodded.
He smirked, and brought the knife to my face. "How about I kill you instead?"
"Huh?" I muttered, shaking in fear, with my eyes widened open.
Katie's POVMy heart pounded in my chest so much that I feared it would burst and break my rib cage. The knife was just on my skin and any little flutter might cause any injury. Even with my eyes, I saw how sharp and shiny this sharp object before me was."I will sign it" I suddenly said, and he looked at me."You want to sign it?" He asked, his voice giving hints of surprise and perplexity.I nodded quickly, and vehemently. "Yes!" I responded."You said you were a virgin" He said, as an eyebrow scrolled up."Yes, I didn't lie about that," I answered.He smirked, "You are about to give it a try?" He asked."Yes, I will learn, try my best and do a good job, I promise "I uttered in a low and soft tone.He chuckled and clapped his hand, after shoving the knife underneath his armpit. I heaved in relief when the knife moved away from me. I could now breathe and not live in fear, and panic."Good job, girl. I'm sure you will do a great job. Later on, in future, I won't be surprised when you
Cephus' POV."Do you think you can ambush me and get away with it?" I made my voice as menacing as possible and the scared look on my prisoner's face satisfied me a lot."You don't scare me," his voice wavered as he tried to sound strong, but I could tell he was on the verge of breaking."Oh yes? How about this?" I pressed the hot burning iron into his thighs as he screamed at the top of his lungs, for a man trying to sound strong, he sure looked like a sissy in distress.I chuckled evilly, "Where is your base? Where is your boss hiding?" I questioned him for the umpteenth time, but all he let out was a bucket full of sob."I don't know," he looked pathetic and I couldn't stand looking at his face, so I left the place to my right hand man, Arman."Come on, Romeo, come find this fucker for me," I signalled to the computer genius, making him follow me out of the room.He hurriedly fished out his computer and walked with me, "Boss, there is a tracker embedded into his neck, if I could ha
Katie's POV"Thank you," I made sure to fill my voice with enough gratitude as I looked at Cephus. I never thought he would come to save me.He looked pissed, "I can't have damaged goods working in my club now, can I?" His reply made me shiver."Is that all you think of me? A good to be used to bring in profit for yourself?" I was on the verge of crying, but his emotions were shut off that I could barely get a read. One thing was for sure though, he meant every word."Get back to making me money, pet," He grabbed me by the arm, pulling me out of the room into the dance floor where I can continue shaking my ass off to strangers that get off of it.I felt disgusted with myself as I danced for the men and women in the club. The way they looked at me, like I was nothing more than a piece of meat, made my skin crawl. But I had no choice. Cephus owned me now, and I was at his mercy.As I danced, I caught a glimpse of a man in the corner of the room. He was watching me intently, but there wa
Cephus' POV."Give me the strongest drink on the menu," I slapped my hands on the counter, startling the bar tender for the night. The place is mine, so no one dared question my actions.To say I was pissed after Romeo informed me of Felix's moving would be an understatement.I took a swig of the drink and felt the burn down my throat, momentarily easing the anger coursing through my veins. I couldn't believe Felix had the audacity to move without consulting me first. We had a deal, and he knew the consequences if he ever tried to break it. I looked around the bar, taking in the dimly lit room and the hushed conversations of the patrons. This place was my sanctuary, a place where I could escape the chaos of my life and unwind. But tonight, even the comforting atmosphere couldn't calm my nerves. I needed to figure out what to do about Felix.As I pondered my next move, a voice interrupted my thoughts. "Cephus, can we talk?" It was Sophia, my ex-girlfriend. I hadn't seen her in months,
Katie's POVMy eyebrows arched as I tried to apprehend whatever he was saying. I realized he was really drunk at that point, and I couldn't be so nervous, when I noticed that his whole body was against mine, like we were couples.I looked around, and sighed in relief, when I noticed there were only a few people around, and even those there, looked like they weren't concerned about us. Instead, they were all focused on their business or whatever they came for."Freya" I heard Cephus's whisper, and my eyes blinked."Why does he keep saying that?" I whispered to myself, and hissed before slightly pushing him.Even without using enough strength, he fell to the floor, like he was light and loose. I gasped shockingly, and crouched low."Gosh! Why did he drink to this extent" I muttered, releasing a soft, depressing sigh.I wanted to help him and lead him to the sofa at the side, but he was quite heavy, and I was exhausted already. All the dancing and moving that day, made me so tired.I nev
Katie's POVMy eyes blinked, and I tried not to allow the tears to leave my eyes. I couldn't believe he treated me that way, despite helping him. I felt my heartbreak and at that point, I couldn't hold the tears any more, so it started leaving my eyes.I felt like a fool, and I regretted bringing him to my place, and even seeing him at the bar. If only I ignored him and left before he dropped drunk."Asshole" I sniffed, rubbing my itching and runny nose with my hand.The door suddenly opened and when I looked up, I saw Cephus. He was glaring stonily at me, like we were both enemies before birth. I felt flabbergasted to notice his sudden and uncalled presence.He walked closer to me, and I shifted back. I prayed that he wouldn't hurt me, but what was he doing back here anyway. Did he probably hear me when I called him an asshole.My heart kept beating fast as he walked closer. I couldn't even look him in the eye, so I kept dodging it."Look at me" I heard his cold voice order. I slowly
Katie's POVI was still crying, and sobbing loudly, with my body laid down, and my face on the floor, when I heard another knock. I jerked, and slowly looked up at the door, whilst trying to control my heart which was beating very fast.I couldn't even say a word, as I was too scared and nervous. Was it Cephus again? Why won't he just let me be for once? What did I do to deserve this mess! I shouldn't have been born if I knew that my life would be so cruel.The door started shaking as a result of the force and continuous knocking. I sniffled quietly, and slowly stood up, then walked to the wooden door.Touching it with my palm, I stuttered in a whisper. "Who… Who is that?""Open this darn door before I break it down!" I heard a very familiar voice yell, and my eyes blinked fast as I tried to apprehend the person's voice.My eyes widened when I thought of who might have the voice- It was the landlord!"Mr. Landlord?" I stuttered, as my hand reached towards the knob, before opening it.
Cephus' POVThat morning, my eyes slowly opened, and it came in contact with a strange ceiling. I felt my head aching and I groaned, hurtfully.I stood up, and sat on the sofa which I had been lying on, with my eyes looking around. "Where the fuck am I?" I murdered, my eyes slowly squinting.My eyes widened in shock, when I saw a picture hanging on the wall. It was none other than Katie."What the hell" I whispered, as I slowly stood up. "Don't tell me that I am…"I paused and swirled around to understand the whole thing, and that was when I realized where I was- Katie's poorly furnished room which disgusted me to the core."Fuck!" I screamed, and it didn't take long for Katie to appear before me. I was feeling furious, not minding the pure and innocent look she kept on her face. I was glaring hard at her, that she feared that my ears would shoot lasers and bullets to her face."Are you awake?" She asked in a whisper"What is this!" I abruptly yelled, causing shivers to run through he
