Chapter 3

Two days had passed, it didn't feel like the days had changed very quickly, at that time Eleven had just finished washing the dirty dishes in the kitchen, she intended to enter her room before hearing their doorbell ring. Her father who was in the room immediately came out to open the door, he knew who would come that day, but not Eleven.

"Follow me" Her father pulled Eleven's hand and took her to the door and opened it.

"It seems you've been waiting for me to come" The man said, Eleven remembers who the man is, it's the man who came to her house two days ago. But this time he came alone.

"How? I'm sure your boss will like her” Thomas said.

"Yes, but my boss is not someone like you, he loves his family, but my boss will take this girl, he knows what to do with her" The man said, hearing what he said made Eleven widen her eyes. She wasn't sure what they were discussing but she was sure whatever it was, it was something that wasn't good.

"Okay, do whatever your boss wants, she is no longer mine now, take her and never return her to me"

“Daddy! What do you mean?" Eleven said, she was very surprised to hear her father's words.

"Didn't your father tell you? He sold you to my boss, he couldn't pay off his debt, so now, you belong to my boss, come with me” The man said and pulled Eleven's hand away from her father.

Of course Eleven tried to rebel, she didn't want to go with that strange man, she didn't know if her life would be much better or even worse if she left that house. She cried and tried to hold on to her father's hands, but her father instead pushed her body towards the man and when her body was outside the door, her father immediately closed the door and locked it.

The big man forced Eleven's body out of there and took her in a very luxurious black car. She continued to struggle, she tried to get out of the car, but the man took something out of his pocket, a handkerchief that had been treated with a sedative. He covered Eleven's mouth and in a matter of minutes Eleven started to lose consciousness, her body slowly weakened and she stopped fighting again.

That made the man's job easier, he didn't need to do violence to Eleven because she was his boss' property now, so he had to take good care of her until his reached his boss.

Eleven opened her eyes, she was in an empty room, there was only a chair there, she herself was also in a chair in a tied state. She didn't know where she was at that time, only she was there. She started screaming for help with tears on her cheeks, but instead of help coming, it was the same man who took her away from her house.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Eleven said, but the man just smiled and placed a chair in front of Eleven and sat there.

"The decision is not in my hands, my boss hasn't even seen you, he is still on the way here with his wife, I know your father treated you badly, your body is the witness, but my boss is not your father, he is indeed very dangerous but he loves his family" The man said.

"I don't care! My father was also a man who loved his family back then, but look at what he's doing to me now, he's selling me out!!”

“Yeah, you can say whatever you want about your dad, he's such a bastard. I just want to tell you that my boss will arrive soon, don't worry you won't stay in this room, he will take you away and after that believe me your life will change” The man said and left the room, leaving Eleven alone. She kept screaming for help hoping that someone would hear her screams and help her, whoever. But to no avail, no one came to save her. Instead she became very tired and her throat began to feel dry because she kept screaming and crying.

Eleven just lowered her head, she didn't stop crying and kept thinking about what would happen to her, why the world seemed so unfair to her. She always feels hurt, her life is destroyed in minutes and now she has to face a situation she never expected before.

The sound of the door opening, Eleven immediately raised her head, she saw a man in a full body suit enter and sit in front of her.

"Who are you? What do you want from me? Let me go!" Eleven said.

“Aren't you tired of screaming like that? We can talk about it in a low voice. I won't hurt you like what your father did, that's not my way of playing” The man said.

“Then why did you take me away from my father? Why did you bring me to this place?”

"Is he still your father? He abused you and sold you to me, that's mean you are mine”

"No, please don't do anything to me, let me go please, I will do anything for you but please don't do what my father did to me please" Eleven said.

"What's your name?" the man said.

“Eleven"

“Okay, listen to me El, I have a family, I love my wife and my son. Yes my son is about the same age as you. I have no interest in touching you because you are just a young girl, my wife is prettier than you and that is more than enough for me. But, your father owes me a debt, a very high debt, I think with him not working like now, he won't be able to pay it off. When my men said he wanted to sell you, to be honest I wasn't interested, I'm a bookie, I don't play human trafficking, that's not my type. But one of my men, the man who brought you here, he said if your father abused you, he saw it himself because it shows on your body and yes I can see it now too. I didn't buy you, I just helped you, but it's not free” The man said.

"What do you mean?"

"You have to work for me, your job is easy, you just need to take care of my son"

“W-What? But you said he's the same age as me, that means he's mature enough, but why should I take care of him?”

"We don't talk about that now, I came here just to take you to my place, there you will see for yourself, how about it? Are you coming?” the man said.

Eleven was silent, the man's words managed to move Eleven's heart and mind, she felt that maybe this was the first step for her to be free from her life with her father, with the devil who always abused her.

"Time is running El, I'm sure you have no choice to refuse, if you don't want to come with me, I will have to send you back to your father's place and he will definitely get angry and harass you again, that's bad, right?"

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Ah I think you are still confused and want to talk to me a lot, okay I will convince you if I am not your father, that means I will not do what your father did to you, why do I help you because I need someone to look after my son and you came at the right time. That's all, actually I don't want to interfere with your family matters but I was in need of someone and your father offered you to me, something like that”

Eleven fell silent again, she would waste the opportunity if she refused, she could run away from that man's house if something didn't feel right, but at least she didn't return to that hell again.

"And.. who are you?" Eleven said.

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Jake"

"Okay I'm in" Eleven says and Jake just smiles at her.

Eleven only hopes that this time the choice she has chosen won't take her to a worse place than her home. That's the only hope now.
