“Dad!”

Arielle yelled at her dad, the man was impossible, how could he suggest something like that? Even though she knows she can’t possibly pay off the debt her dad owes Luciano, there was no way she was going to let him have his way with her, her dad was mad for thinking she would marry someone like Luciano, that’s if Luciano would even see her that way, he was more of the model women kind of man, all the ladies he has ever been pictured with are all glamorous model and she won’t fit even if she tries to, oh wait, why was she even thinking it, it won’t happen.

“So? You think I will take your daughter in exchange for my money? Think again, I will let you be for today but you have one week to pay back all the money you owe me or you get what you bargained for, you already know the consequences,”

Luciano said, turned to her and gave a cocky smile before turning to leave, he was followed by his subordinates, she let out a breath that she hadn’t known she had been holding and collapsed to the ground, now that he wasn’t here anymore the reality of just how huge this is began to weigh on her, five million dollars, that’s what her father borrowed, and it had her name on it, well life couldn’t be much worst.

“Dad, how could you lie?”

She asked her dad who wasn’t even paying attention to her, he was looking through the window, probably checking to make sure Luciano was gone, she had two issues right now, first, she had woken up this morning to see that she had called Luciano, she felt stupid, didn’t know how she had thought that was a good idea and now he shows up at her house and her dad wants her to marry him, one thing was sure that Luciano might not be aware of the marriage shit because he clearly was offended when her dad had said it or maybe he was pretending, that wasn’t even the issue right now, far from it, the issue right now was how would she pay back five million dollars? She doesn’t even have a job right now and there was no hope of getting one soon or even getting a good-paying job.

“Can’t you just help me this once? You know all you need to do is doll up a little and he will fall for you, he was already smitten by your appearance,”

Her dad said. Arielle couldn’t even believe he could say all that to her right now, especially when his lies have been exposed but he was so shameless and unapologetic about it.

“Dad! No, I think it is high time I stop calling you that, you are not my father and you don’t even deserve to get called my dad, I freaking don’t want to be dragged into your mess, you borrowed the money, you used it, now you pay for it, whatever you plan on doing, however, you plan on paying it back, don’t include my name, don’t fucking do it because at the end of the day, we are not even related and you have no right to use my name against my will, you are just my mother’s husband,”

She let out, she knew she shouldn’t be saying those words as they were hurtful but she was way past caring about his feelings since he clearly didn’t care about hers.

“Your choices of words are so harsh, I told you before, I didn’t borrow that much, they have a mad interest rate and as the days go by without me paying, the interest keeps increasing, just yesterday it was still three million dollars and today it’s five million, tomorrow it might be ten, those people are evil, I didn’t borrow that much Ariel, and I didn’t know it was Luciano at all,”

He said, but it was hard to believe him now when he had lied so many times.

“I don’t care, I am not to be involved in this in whatever way, I don’t even have a job so I can’t help to pay back, you just have to find a way out of this by yourself, please don’t talk to me,”

“Why are you so selfish? Why are you always so self-centered? You always just think about yourself and no one else, you have what it takes to lift our family off the trench but you choose to do shabby jobs, that’s because you don’t care that we are suffering,”

He yelled at her.

“What? I have what it takes? So you Kwan I should go out and sell myself just so that I can lift you guys from poverty? Like what did I expect from you? Like always you have nothing to say, right mom?”

She asked when she noticed her mom was in the room too.

“He is right in this, if you had just fine as I say, I am sure you would have found a rich man by now and we won’t be indebted neither would we be living in this kind of environment, but you are wasting your asset and beauty away,”

Her mom said and Arielle was just too stunned to speak, yeah, her own mother wanted her to be a trophy to men, wanted her to use her beauty to buy them a good life, she didn’t even feel remorseful or shameful saying those things to her.

“Mom, I am ashamed to call you my mom, you are a disgrace to motherhood, that’s all I have to say to you,”

“Don’t be so disrespectful, you ruined my life, that’s the least you can do, try to fix it, it’s the barest minimum you can do, but you choose not to, I would have been better off if I had aborted you,”

Her mom yelled her usual sermon at her, it didn’t hurt anymore hearing her say those words, Arielle has gotten used to them over the years.

“It’s your usual anthem mom, but I let me tell you this, you would have been as miserable as you are now even if you hadn’t had me, you know why? Because you have no plans, you just want to be dependent on people, a freaking parasite,”

She said and walked off angrily even while her parents were still talking and yelling for her to get back, that was it, she was going to leave this house as soon as she can get a job, she didn’t mind sleeping on an empty floor, so long as she can get an apartment of her own, she was twenty-four and old enough to take her life in her hands and no let anyone dictate for her.

The rest of the week went by in a flash for Arielle, there was nothing much going on in her life, especially not in a good way, she still couldn’t get a job, still wasn’t talking to her parents, they weren’t even trying to talk to her either, and what more, she didn’t even know when Luciano would show up in her face again, God help her when he does, one thing she does know was that she would tell him not to involve her in it even though she highly doubt he would do that.

Right now all she could do was wake up each day and go look for a job and nothing, no one wanted to employ her and she was this close to giving up but the fear of going hungry made her keep stressing herself.

“Arielle? Why are you looking so downcast?”

A neighborhood aunty asked as she walked by, Arielle didn’t have it in her to answer but she always priced herself to be polite especially to the elderly, so she turned and greeted her.

“Good day ma,”

“Good day, my dear, do you have a problem? Maybe I can help, is it boys issues?”

She asked and Arielle wanted to laugh in her face, why would she assume it’s a boy-related issue? If her issues were anything boys-related then it won’t even be a problem in the first place.

“No, ma, it’s not a boy-related problem, I lost my job and am having a hard time finding another one and I need a job so bad right now,”

She lamented. It was really frustrating that even getting odd jobs were hard now, way harder than she had assumed, what more she was looking for a female boss, except she is lesbian, and there is no way she would want to get in her panties, hopefully, she finds one who is not, she seriously would hate to lose another job for the same fucked up reason as then wanting her body in exchange for the job.

“Well, I think I can help you with that, my sister just opened a new club and is looking for new works, I might put out words for you if you want me to,”

She said and Arielle suddenly became more interested in the conversation, maybe there was still hope after and she just mentioned a sister too.

“I will love that please,”

“That’s if you can work in a clubhouse, you know with how pretty you are, men would always crowd you, it will be a good asset for her but the question is can you cope with the stares and attractions?”

She asked dimming Arielle’s joy, she knew there was always a downside and it was once again because of her looks, she was beginning to hate her pretty face, even more, it always got in the way, she has worked in a club once, just a couple of weeks and her experience had been bad, right now she wished there were other choices, but this was the closest to a job opportunity she has had since last week and she wasn’t about to let her face and body get in the way.

“I know, I have worked in a club before, I know it won’t be easy but I will do my best if I get the job,”

She said and the lady nodded.

“Okay then, I will let my sister know and get back to you in the evening, you might be required to start immediately so be on guard,”

She said and Arielle thanked her as she walked off, Arielle walked towards her house, she couldn’t say she was happy but at least she had hope for a new job, when she entered the house, as she had expected, it was empty, she didn’t mind and just went straight to her room to take a bath, she was hungry but she knew there won’t be anything to eat in the house, no point going to the kitchen for food, she lays on her bed and her tired body fell asleep.

Later that evening Ma’am Nichole, the woman she had met earlier came to tell her she got the job, even though it wasn’t the kind of work she wanted, Arielle was still grateful, it was better than nothing and the pay was reasonable too, she was to resume work the next day so she spent the rest of the evening in her room, she was hungry but she knew if she eats with the morning she had, she won’t have anything to eat by morning, so she tied her stomach with a head tie and went to sleep, of course, it was an uncomfortable night due to his hungry she was but she was used to it, it wasn’t her first time anyway…

Yeah?”“I wasn’t! Let’s not talk about that, I can’t pay that money but I have something even better for you but you are not just seeing it!”The rat said and Luciano was sure he was speaking of his daughter again.“I told you not to say nonsense,”He yelled at the man, tempted to beat him up again.“She is very pretty, got the right body, all full, if you get her naked you will know,”The idiot said, he was talking about his daughter naked. He should just kill him, and save the world.“Shut up,”“I am telling you but you are not listening, I know that you are looking for a woman and my daughter easily fits what you

    Arielle paused to catch her breathe, she was so tired that she was almost dropping on her toes, but she couldn’t even take a break, there was still so much she needed to do and still so many people that she hasn’t been attended to, it’s been over a week since she started working here and she couldn’t even tell if she was killing herself or trying to save herself from dying, the job here was so stressful that she was this close to quitting, that’s if they don’t fire her anyway.“Ariel! Why are you still standing there? Get to work!”Her boss yelled, she hated her voice, hated the woman to the core, she honestly didn’t expect to be treated well here but this was worse than all of her expectations, no matter what she does, her boss was never just satisfied.“If you don’t move faster, I am going to cut your pay, I can not be paying you to be this lazy, if you don’t want to work then why not go be a hooker? At least you have the body for that,”She yelled at her and Arielle could only calm

Luciano couldn’t even take the man seriously when he was here trying to make him mad and all he succeeded to do was show just how stupid he was.“This is my problem with you, you act like everyone is below you and forget you are nothing without the family bane, if don decides to push you off, you do realize that you will be nothing right?

Were you both plotting something? Why are you so shocked?”He asked.“No, we were not, we just didn’t see you coming,”Yoey said, answering for the both of them, he looked suspiciously at them trying to figure out what they were up to.“You would have known if you were at alert,”He said after a moment and there was silence in the car.“Are you going or are we gonna stay here?”He asked when the driver didn’t move, and he apologized and started the car.“Sir? The don has been on the phone a few times already, I didn’t wanna disturb you because you said not to,”Yoey revealed and Luciano turned his attention to him.“What does the old man want now?”He asked as he slightly touched

    Three months later. “Luciano? Get your ass in here,”Arielle yelled for her husband as another wave of intense pain hit her, she let out a loud howl as she felt the pain shoot right to her back, she tried to take slow steady breaths like she had been instructed to during the classes for the first mom that she had attended but nothing was working and the moron she married wasn’t coming out. She breathed in and out a couple of times, counting one to eight back and forth, she waited for the pain to subside before trying to call him again. “LUCIANO IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ASS IN HERE THIS MINUTE,’’ She yelled louder this time and the door swung open in seconds to reveal the panicking face of her handsome husband who looked like he saw a ghost when he saw the way she was. “What is going on? Are you okay?”He asked. She knew she should be calm with him and not take out her pain-inflicted anger on him but he sounded so dumb and the look on his face, the sudden surge of pain that erupted in

Earlier today at his cousin Macko’s wedding party, she had caught him watching her a lot of times but she ignored him each time.

Today, she decided to spend the day in the garden, since the gardener was working, she decided to help him and also learn the names of some of the flowers and plants in the garden. That’s how she spent her morning and some part of her afternoon learning the names of flowers and their varieties and also getting mud in her clothes while she helped the gardener who seemed overwhelmed by her presence at first but slowly got used to her and they sort of became friends. She thanked him for having her after they were done and she went back inside. It was almost time for Luciano to return from work so she took her bath and decided to watch tv.

Everything that brings him happiness was related to her and he wanted to be done with everything so that he can focus on making her happy. After what she had told him yesterday, he had Yoey make further research and even questioned Macko and they realized she was Big Sean all along and she was the one that changed the deal they had, according to Macko, he never did anything with hard drugs and only persuaded Don because he genuinely thought they were going to partner with the government of Nigeria.

    Arielle woke up with a startle, at first, she expected to feel the pain of being tied but there was none and when she opened her eyes, she looked around her surrounding for a moment, lost in confusion and trembling with fear, she dreamt of Luciano finding her and bringing her home, she looked around even more and realized she was no longer chained and the room she was in looked clean and she was on a bed. Realization and the memories of the previous day finally crawled into her head. She got off the bed in a haste to make sure she hadn’t dreamt it or imagined it, she opened the door and collided with a hard chest, her heart dropped in fear until she looked up and saw Luciano. “Baby? Where are you going? I didn’t know you were awake already,”He said. She hugged him and held on to him tightly. “I thought it was a dream, I thought I was still there, I was scared,”She cried into his arms which he wrapped around her. “It is not a dream, you are here with me, you, brave woman got yours

Who is this?”he asked as he heard another voice, this time a male. “Hello, she was trying to reach you earlier with my phone but you were not taking your calls, she is sleeping right now, she looks so tired that I can’t bring myself to wake her up.”The voice echo
