Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The stranger

"You are a piece of trash! Where on earth am I going to get the money from now? Did you say you gambled it? How could you?"

That angry voice belongs to my mummy, she and my daddy had been quarreling for the past two hours now and I don't think they would stop any moment soon. My daddy has once again used the money mummy had struggled to save for gambling. I don't know the full details as they won't tell me anything but I overheard her earlier saying they were supposed to use the money to pay for something, I have no idea what it is though. He must have stolen her ATM card somehow and withdrew the money again.

"It's not gamble honey, I invested the money, just wait for a little while, and I will really get it back, big"

I sigh hearing my daddy say that, he's only making matters worse; it would be better if he doesn't say anything. I couldn't bear watching them fight any longer so l stand up to my feet to leave the sitting room. Ayomide and Shola would be back from school soon so need to go and prepare something for them to eat when they come.

"And where are you going?" I hear my mummy's voice ask sharply behind me and I pauses before turning to her.

"To the kitchen, I want to go and prepare food for Ayo and Shola."I reply quickly.

"There's nothing in the kitchen to cook but only small garri. They will make that when they come."

I heave a sigh before saying. "They had the same thing yesterday and a day before, they shouldn't eat that today again, mummy."

"I don't like it either my dear, but what can I do? You guys should manage it first,ehn jowo(please). I will get something later."

"mo ni owo(l have some money)..." I reply in Yoruba dialect. " Let me use it and get some stuffs to prepare." My mummy looks at me with concern.

"Are you sure you have enough? You can just go and meet mama Folake to give you on credit instead, I will pay later."

I bit my bottom lips to prevent myself from crying as tears are already whelming up in my eyes. Just when will this end? Owing money, buying things on credit, fighting and quarreling about the same money... Just.....just when will it all stop? I am already 21 years old and still haven't taken JAMB (Joint Admission Matriculation Board) examination to further my education to a university. After I finished from Secondary school few years ago, my mummy asked me to hold on for a while and do other things first because there is no money to send me to the university. I attended a public secondary school here in Ajegunle, as they couldn't afford to put me in a private school.

My daddy doesn't have any good job other than gambling and drinking, although he claims to invest and not gamble, but what would you call it when he doesn't get anything back in return? 1 know he's my father but he's still part of the problem we have in the family. He never makes things easy but just add to our problems. He used to be different before though but he suddenly changed. Back when I was in Secondary school, he was working as a vulcanizer to support the family but all of a sudden, he turned to a drunk and does no other thing than gambling and causing trouble.

We live in a small house in a ghetto environment here in Ajegunle, in Lagos. Since the houses here are cheaper; we rented a two bedroom flat house here not minding if the place is unsafe and unhealthy. We couldn't afford going to town, that's the place for only the rich. Ajegunle is one of those places in Lagos where you would hear robbery, fights and the roads are really terrible.

My mummy sells secondhand clothes in a small shade at the market and she makes small sales from it but that's not enough to meet all the house needs. To support my family, I do part time jobs like, waitress and salesperson. I do waitress in the morning and salesperson in the evening, while at my free time, I assist my mummy at the market to sell.

My part-time jobs don't pay much but that's all I can do for now with my level of education. I don't want my siblings to face same issues like me, so l am trying to look for a good job or...anything...just anything to make sure they get good education and good life. Ayomide is only 10 years old and Shola is three years older, they are still young and need all the support they can get. I'm still trying hard to find a good job that can at least pay well, but that has been very hard because it's not easy to get a job in this country; even those with good qualifications find it tough to get a good job.

"Kemi! I said you should go and meet her to give you, so you can start cooking." My mummy's voice jolts me back to reality. I could see her still holding my daddy's shirt firmly:I guess she isn't done with him yet.

I sigh, "I have some money mummy, I will buy them with it instead, don't worry." I say before leaving the house. I hope she doesn't kill daddy before I return, I wonder how much he had collected this time.

When I got back, I didn't meet anyone in the house. I haven't been gone for long so where could they possibly have gone? They were both at each other's neck before I left, so where could they have gone all of a sudden?

"Mummy? Daddy?" But there is no answer; the door is even left opened.

I know they're both adults but ľm still having a weird feeling about this. They wouldn't just leave the house like that all of a sudden, where could they have gone? I heave a sigh and walk into the kitchen to start preparing something; I'm sure they only went somewhere and would be back very soon or probably, mummy has dragged daddy out over to the casino he gambles but could they have gone all the way to Dankaka? Because that's where the biggest casino is and that's definitely where he gambles since there's no casino in Ajegunle. The ones functioning before had already been raided by the police.

The rice I am preparing is almost ready; it's just remaining for the water to evaporate a little more and it would be ready in the next fifteen minutes. As I open the fridge to keep the remaining groceries, I start hearing deep loud voices from the sitting room and they definitely don't belong to my parents.

Whose voices could they be? I quickly rush out of the kitchen to see what's going on in the sitting room and my eyes grow wide at the sight.

My parents are on their kneels trembling in fear as three huge men, all in black suits are standing around them with guns to their hands. As I take a step closer to them in confusion, in shock about the present situation, one of them turns to me and points the gun to my head. I freeze on the spot in fear and bow my head.

Oh Jesus! What's going on here? Who are these people?

"And who is she, your daughter?" I hear a husky unfamiliar voice ask and I raise my head to see who it belongs to.

A young man, who should be in his early or mid 30s I think, stands up from the sofa and walks closer; he raise his right hand up, gesturing for the man to lower his gun. The man obeys at once and gives way for him. He walks towards me and dips his hands into his pocket staring at me.

Who is this man? I have never seen him before, he's wearing an exquisite white suit which spares no doubt that he's really rich.

What business does he have with my family? Why is he here with armed men?

"I believe I asked a question." The man says again, his eyes not leaving mine.

"She..She's our daughter." My daddy manages to reply still trembling in fear.

"I see, but there's no resemblance at all, she doesn't even look like you; where did you get your ugly face from? Huh?" The man says laughing.

"Who... Who are you and why are you in our house armed? Have we offended you?"I manage to find my voice.

He looks at me from head to toe, "Oh, my bad. I didn't introduce myself properly.." He smiles before adding on, "Your father owes me money, and I have simply come to collect it."

I shut my eyes in shame as I hear him say that. Great! My daddy has succeeded in bringing trouble to us. How on earth did he end up owing money to someone.. someone like this? It's no doubt that he's dangerous.

I turn to my daddy, "Why did you borrow money daddy? What for?"

My daddy didn't say anything but simply bow his head to the ground in shame. I can hear sniffles and I know its coming from my mummy. ľm sure she's not aware about this either, she must have been shocked too.

"Let me break it down for you darling..." The man says moving closer to me. I take a step back to move away from him but he grabs my waist abruptly and I gasp at him in shock before wiggling out of his hold quickly.

"Why would he grab me like that? But well, I can't simply say anything but frown.

He grins, "Darling, your father came to my casino to gamble, and well, my stupid brother agreed to gamble with him and the result? Your father ran away after he lost to my brother. And you see, my brother could have killed him that day for he's not the patient type but I intervened and that's why your father is still with you today.... "He pauses and turns to my daddy.

Kill? Did he just say kill? Who on earth has my daddy messed with? Oh Jesus!

"Hey! Old man, do I have to do all the talking? Come on, explain to your daughter." He glares at my daddy.

Daddy trembles on his kneels and manage to raise his head.

"K.Kemi, I...I'm really sorry. I went too

gamble at Dankaka some time ago after...after taking the money your mother saved, hoping to win and get more so that we could have enough...but..... but I ended up losing everything and....and..and also ended up owing some amount of money..."

He couldn't finish whatever he has to say before mummy slaps him hard on the face.

"You trash!! I thought you only gambled the money! What? You also owe? What have you done you useless man?"

Mummy's eyes are already tearing up as she stares at daddy in disappointment. I stare at my daddy in disappointment also. How could he gamble the money mummy suffered to save? And....And it was meant for my school?

"Please sir, how much does he owe your brother?" I ask the man.

He smirks, "20,000..."

I raise an eyebrow at him, "Wait, 20,000 naira?"

He stares at me with a disbelief expression before bursting into a loud laughter.

"Hey, old man, you have a funny daughter, she thinks the money you owe is 20,000 naira, how stupid." He continues laughing and I stare at him in puzzle. What's funny? He said 20,000, didn't he?

"Hey darling, it's 20,000 dollars. You can do the little math to know the amount in naira."

Wait, 20,000 dollars? I don't need to do the math to know that would be huge in naira. How did daddy owe such amount of money! I'm sure the money he collected from money is not much, how did he gamble it to this extent?

"That is 8.3 m in naira darling. It's a small amount though but I can't just leave it right?" He smiles at me before going back to sit on the sofa.

I turn to my daddy in bewilderment, "Da.. daddy, how...how could you gamble to the point you owe 8.3 million...."

"Relax darling, you can fight with your father later, but for now, let's discuss how I'm getting the money." The man says turning serious as he cross his right leg over the other.

I sigh before saying in a pleading voice, "Sir, could...could you give us more time? The money is very huge for us and it would take time for us to get it..."I pause when I hear him scoff.

"More time? Darling. your father had pleaded for the same favor and I already did that. I let him be for a whole week, what else do you want me to do? Haven't I been patient enough?" He shrugs.

I bit my lips as 1 didn't know what else to say. We are already struggling enough and my daddy just keeps making life harder. Where on earth are we going to get 8.3 million from now? Even if I and my mummy work from now till five years, our earnings would never be able to raise the money.

These people are dangerous, ľm not sure they would hesitate to kill us if we don't pay up.

"Oh come on darling, it isn't the end of the world, don't have that look on your face." He grins before standing up.

My siblings would soon be back from school, if they meet such scene, it won't be good at all.

"I'm sure your reason for coming here isn't just to get the money because you're very much aware that my family's poor and won't be able to pay the money back any moment from now. So what is it that you want?"

He stares at me for while as if taken aback before turning to my daddy with a smile on his face.

"You have a very smart daughter old man, are you sure she's really your daughter? It's hard to believe since you're stupid." He shrugs and shakes his head before turning to me.

"You're correct; I know very well that your father cannot provide that money, that's why I came with a very nice proposal."

Wait, what proposal?

"I think you should pay the price for your family darling...." He smirks beforegrabbing my waist again, "What do you think?"

Chapter 2: I don't want to come to your world either
"Let...Let me go."I say trying to get out of his hold. Why does he keep grabbing my waist? I hope this isn't like one of those novels where he would ask me to sleep with him? Or...Oh Jesus, I don't even want to think about it. This is reality, he could ask me to dle instead I presume.He lets go of my waist and bursts into laughter, "I haven't even said anything and you're already looking pale." He turns serious again and dips his hands into his pocket before continuing, "You will have to come with me darling, to pay the price."Wait, what?? Come with him to where?"Please.... Please don't take our daughter, I beg of you. Take me instead, please. My mummy pleads in tears. Tears starts to form in my eyes as I watch her crawl on her kneels to where I am standing with the man."Stay where you are woman..." The man says turning to her, "Or I will kill her." He threatens. My mummy stops crawling immediately and covers her mouth with her hands as she continues crying.Different emotions run

Chapter 3: Others?
After a while, mummy stops crying and says I should go get something to eat.I look at her reluctant to stand up but she urges me the more."Please go and eat something Kemi please.""Okay mummy." I stand up and move to the kitchen. I look around and could see that everything is still the way I have left it, that would mean that Shola and Ayo have not served their food yet.This children ehn, why haven't they eaten yet?I serve a small portion for myself and also serve in two other plates so I could give to them. I place them on a tray and walk out of the kitchen. The three of us share a room since there are only two bedrooms in the house, so they will definitely be there."Shola! Are you inside? Please open the door for me o" I say in a loud voice standing at the front of the door because I couldn't open the door considering the tray I am carrying."Okay sister!" I hear Shola's voice from inside before the door opens slightly.She pops her head out a little and looks up at me."Are yo

Chapter 4: Relax darling, I don't bite
Throughout the entire ride, Mr. Black suit didn't say anything to me. He just keeps going through numerous papers and I'm starting to wonder what he is actually reading."Am I going to die?" I suddenly ask him and he stops what he is doing and turns to me."Don't you get chills when you say that? He asks me in bewilderment.I shrug, "Not really."He murmurs, "I see why he came for..."I couldn't get the other things he is saying and I frown. Why do this people keep leaving me in suspense?"You see why he came for what? say it audibly so I can hear you..." I fold my arms across my chest waiting for him to say something.He scoffs, "Why do you think I will do what you say?"I didn't say anything but simply sigh and look away.What was I expecting anyway?"I don't want to scare you but you have to be strong Kemi because even I have no idea what's in for you. My boss has never done something like this before."I hear him say and I turn to look at him. He sips from his drink and heave a si

Chapter 5: His goddamn brother
~Third person POV~"Leave me! Let me go you..." William didn't let her finish before he slaps her hard on the cheek. She loses her balance and falls on the bed. She has guts and it's starting to annoy him. Angrily, he moves on top of her and starts to tear off her clothes. Since she proves to be so bold, he would see how bold she is going to be now. She still struggles with him trying to push him off and he instinctively raises his hand up to hit her again but the sound of his phone ringing tone stops him. He moves off from her, and pulls out the phone from his pocket.The name 'Capo George' displays on his screen and he slides to answer."Yes George, speak.""Consigliere, the underboss wants to see you." A male voice says from the other end of the call.He clenches his fist in anger as he hears him say that."I'm busy with something right now!""He says to come see him quickly, he's got urgent message from the boss for you."'F**king brother!' He curses under his breath and clenches

Chapter 6: Sex slaves?
~Kemi's POV~I am still staying on the bed obediently like he had told me to. It's not like anyone is going to come to my rescue if I scream anyway. I curl myself up hugging my legs as I sit on the bed. I do not want this; I do not want to be involved in this new world where I have no idea what's to become of me. Definitely, this people are involved in criminal activities and it's dangerous.I'm so scared. What he did to me before he left still dawns on me and for a moment I thought he was going to rape me. Maybe he would have if the phone had not rang.Yes, I have never slept with anyone before and I don't want my first time to be with a total stranger. Mummy would always say that a woman's dignity comes first. She would tell me that it is better to remain a virgin than allow a man not worthy takes your virginity. Oh mummy, I wonder how she's doing and I hope things are going well at home. All I have wanted for my life is to be there for my family and have a peaceful life and nothing

Chapter 7: How to seduce men
I have been sitting on the I have been bed like forever waiting for the person to come get me, but no one has come. l guess that's a good thing for me, maybe they forgot about me and this is how I am going to be...The door slides open suddenly and I hear footsteps approaching. I spring up from the bed and see a dark skinned girl walking towards me. She is wearing a short black leather skirt, a vintage crop top with a black leather jacket and black ankle boots. She looks like a badass model. She must be Anna, like George said."Come with me." She says looking at me with a blank expression before turning her back to me. I nod and quickly follow her from behind as we walk out of the room. I heave a sigh of relief as we stand in front of the door, finally out of there.She turns to me, "Let's go""Where are we going?" l ask her as I walk beside her. She glares at me before turning away."Sorry." I murmured as I quietly follow her to the elevator.I get that these people are rich, but can

Chapter 8: A nightmare
~Third person POV~["Mom?" The little boy peeps through the room holding the result sheet in his hand. He tilts his head in to see if she is still there. She didn't say 'Alexlander' like she used to so he squeezes himself through the small opening of the door even though he could have easily opened it wider. He walks into the room looking around if she was inside but there is no one."Mom?" He calls out again moving towards the bathroom door. She would usually sit down on the bed staring at nothing; she has never left that spot, so where could she possibly be? The little boy tries to reach the handle of the bathroom door but it is too high for him. He knocks on the door numerously but he didn't hear anything.He turns around and walks out of the room heading to his father's room, maybe she's there."Father!" He knocks hard on the door but no one answers. As he reaches to knock again, his older brother, William, approaches him. He quickly runs to him."William, I can't find my mother.

Chapter 9: Pain I
~Kemi's POV~"How many years did you say you have been here for?" I ask again as if I didn't just hear him say 10 years. It's hard to believe really. How would someone stay here for such a long time? I have only been here for a day and I already feel like dying out of nervousness. This place is mysterious and I don't even understand how things are done here yet. I definitely know these people are involved in crimes and they only cover it up with their beautiful mansion and lots of money."You heard me Kemi." Mike points out shaking his head at me as he stands up from the chair he was sitting on. I have had a wrong impression about Mike when Lucy brought me yesterday. I thought he was like those scary looking men wearing suits but he is actually nice... I think."If you have been here for that long, that means you enjoy your job?" I ask in disbelief. Who enjoys preparing people for auctioning?He walks over to the window and slides it open to the right before turning to me."How much i

Chapter 10: Pain II
WARNING: VIOLENCE/ SUICIDE SCENE"Shut the f**k up bitch and let's get this done with." He says gripping my arm tightly as he pulls me away from the wall.Before l know it, I feel a sharp pain on my butt and that's when I realize he had smacked me, hard. I shut my eyes and bit my bottom lips to stop myself from crying again.He holds my waist tightly and forcefully arches my back. I wince but didn't struggle; it would only end up hurting me."Now start moving slowly. You get it right, we're good but if you get it wrong, I will smack you hard. You struggle with me; I will strip you naked to smack you barely."I swallow hard as I hear him say all that. Fear grips me as imagine him hitting me again. That would be too painful.I nod in obedience and arch my back and then slowly start to hallow it out, letting my butt move up and down, up and down. Just when I thought I am getting it right, I receive a hard smack on my butt and I scream out in pain."Shut up and do it right b*tch!" He grabs
