This is me. Frustrated, broken, and out of ideas!!
What more do I need to do to raise $2M?!!! (*whines in frustration*) “ugh!!!”
****
“Hi Mom”, I walked into the hospital ward and met my mother trying to stand up from her chair. “Let me help you with that” I bent over to help her stand up but then she kept on resisting, “Just let me be, I really don’t need your help” she grunted.
My mom has always blamed me for her misfortune since my birth. She claims I remind her of my father her late ex-boyfriend who got her pregnant and ran away with all her money. Can’t even blame her, cause I’d do worse if it were me.
“Mom, let me help you okay? You really can’t do anything by yourself you need a hand”
“Yeah sure I need a hand but not yours so let me be.” She snapped at me again leaving me confused.
“Oh well I just wanted to let you know that I’ll soon be moving out of the house when I get a job, and I’ll bring a stay-in nanny for you since you do not want me around” I shrugged and moved past her quietly to sit down on the bedside chair.
“Yeah, you should move out I’m tired of your constant nags. I wish Denis were here so he could take care of me I couldn’t care less about you, you know”
Denis is my older brother, 29 years old, and still living in misery with hard drugs in downtown Dallas. He came home whenever he felt like it, ate up all the food, and never bothered to contribute to his mom’s treatment. But somehow, he was always in Mom’s favor and to be honest, I don’t understand why.
“Okay, mom.” I sighed quietly and continued to gaze through the window into thin air when the doctor walked in on us, with a look on his face which didn’t seem to be very happy.
“Hi Miss Jackson, Hi Mrs Jackson. I hope y’all are well today. I didn’t come with very happy news”
Shock started to build on our faces; more because we hadn’t paid the bills yet and we were long overdue at the hospital
“ Well Mrs Jackson, I'm sorry but the hospital will have to discharge you immediately. You have a pending debt of $5000 which is equally long overdue. The hospital has decided to cancel your debt but you must leave at this instant.” Doctor Jake pitifully handed over the discharge letter to me and walked out of the room.
We had less than one hour to vacate the premises.
I didn’t know how I was going to manage the hospital bills. I used to work as a waitress in a small restaurant but I was laid off because the restaurant couldn’t pay staff anymore. I tried looking for other waitress jobs but I guess I wasn’t as qualified. The ones I managed to get interviews for needed me to work 16 hours a day. I mean I didn’t have so many options left but 16 hours? I had my Mom to take care of and I couldn’t afford a nanny yet. I didn’t have 16 hours to give for a job. I was going to figure out all of this. I just needed to be in a better headspace.
“Let me pack up all this stuff Mom and can you please just relax? Thank you”
My mom can barely walk but she never misses a chance to disorganize places she won’t even fix.
We left the hospital and headed back to our small cottage house in the woods.
“What’re we having for lunch honey?” Mom called me honey. She hasn’t called me honey in years! Could this be a start to something good?
“Dunno yet Mom, I’ll just quickly rush over to the grocery store. Maybe I’ll find something there.”
“Alright hon” she answered back.
Walking downtown, all I can think of is how to get at least $1M so Mom’s surgery can kick start.
My mom is suffering from a brain tumor which has affected the way she reasons, sees people, and even her composure. I feel so bad for her. One day we're like two peas in a pod, the next day we're at each others necks. I wish there was more I could do to help, but right now I'm just as helpless.
"Sally! Sally could help", I thought to myself.
Sally was my bestie back in Yale and we did almost everything together down to the silliest of things.
"She's well off now I think she can help me."
Sally Monroe was my best friend in Yale but for some reason, she almost always gets me in trouble, and I end up taking the fall for her crimes. It was just after Summer, fall time for the semester, when the most popular guy in school, Denis Trot had a pool party. Sally came to me and tried to convince me to go with her which I greatly declined; the school will never let us out after 10pm. But she didn’t budge. When it was time for the party she made follow her on grounds that I had to keep watch for security. We went to this party which I didn’t want to attend, she got drunk, just when I tried to take her home, the police raided the place and we got caught. Good grades and a good reputation were all that saved me then. I had to fill in for Sally and plead her case with the Chancellor Ms. Taylor. It wasn’t a very pretty situation back then.
Right after graduation, she left for Missouri forgetting about me and all that we went through and I never texted her again for 6 months. But right now wasn’t the time to play rusty. I needed her help with my mom, I had no choice.
Just then I bumped into someone in front of the grocery store and lost track of myself as I was drowning in thought.
"Oh I'm so sorry sir, I'm so sorry. Let me help you with that." I had bumped into this huge looking guy about six foot two and appts spilled his coffee all over myself (*sighs in frustration*)
"You never really focus Marga!", the little voice in my head snapped back at me.
"No no it's okay I got this. Are you good?", the man asked me, showing a bit of concern with a grin on his face.
"Wish I was", I murmured under my breath.
"pardon?" , he asked looking confused
"Oh nothing, I just said I'm fine, thanks for asking."
"Paul by the way", he said slightly chuckling. And I realized he has such a cute little laugh.
"uhhm, hii, hi Paul, I'm uhmm, I'm Marga", I answered in a rather cheesy tone,ignoring my cracked voice underneath.
"Was nice meeting you Marga although in a very weird way", he chuckled again.
"Same here", I nodded and walked into the store.

ALEX"I want everything to be perfect! From my hair to my outfits, my shoes, my office, my house, everything! I'm a man of perfection and I really do not like lazy people do you understand? I see no reason why you shouldn't do your daily chores because I believe I pay you well. So do we have an agreement?" "Yes sir. Sure sir.", Natalie, my new maid answered. Natalie is the seventh maid I've employed in 3 months. These maids never last. It's either they want to get in my bed, or they steal from me. I don't even get it, cause I pay them so high, their salaries can buy a house in Beverly Hills! "Okay, good.", I answered sternly and walked towards my room. I live in a six-bedroom penthouse in the hills. Dark, cold, and quiet is my aesthetic. I hate loud people but I do hang out at rowdy places, like the club downtown owned by my best friend, Paul Douglas. I hang out there every Friday night after work. There are so many hot chicks in there but none of them have caught my eye. I wo

MARGAAfter Sally hung up, I sluggishly walked towards the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t like what I just saw. I had grown so pale I could barely see my eyes, cracked lips, eye bags, my hair was fizzled. I looked a mess. Just then I remembered the card I found at the grocery store. I was going to return it back instantly.I quickly dashed out of the bathroom, threw my sweatshirt on and grabbed my phone and a $5 bill I found at the back of my pocket. I hurried downstairs and found my Mom at the dining table reading a book “See you later Mom!”, I yelled as I ran to the door.“ where are you off to Honey?”“Uhhh downtown Mom, what’s up?”, I stopped abruptly panting and looking her way “Nothing dear, just be careful”“Kay Mom!!”, I let out a sigh and rushed out the door I’ve been walking for over an hour and I haven’t seen a ride. Well that’s what happens when you live in the hoods right?“Taxi??”, I called out a taxi from 10 meters awayIt stopped in front of

ALEXIt’s Friday evening already. I just got off work and I’m so tired, but I remembered I have to meet up with Paul today, he has something he wants to tell me.“Man I’m so exhausted”, I murmured to myself whilst stepping into the shower. It was so hot, like 31 degrees.I took a quick shower and found something casual to wear. I asked Grace, my nanny to make a quick meal for me while I get dressed. I wanted some bacon with fries and a glass of cranberry juice. Grace has been with me since I was 8 years old. She practically raised me. More like a mom. I lost my dad when I was 14. That was the most challenging time of my life. I watched my mom slowly turn into a sad person. The bliss and joy in our home was lost. Everything became sad and dark. Happiness was never to be mentioned in our home. Every time my mom looked at me all she could do was cry. It got to a point where she casually started locking herself up, skipping meals and taking overdose on her medications. My dad’s death bro

MARGAMy alarm woke me up at 5am but I was too tired to even stand. I ended up snoozing till 8am. It’s not like I had anything to do today and besides my shift isn’t until 10pm. It’s Friday and I’m starting working for the first time at Paul’s bar, as a stripper.I woke up, had breakfast, made some for Mom, and I didn’t care if Denis was hungry or not.I received a mail from Paul asking me to collect my work outfit in 10 mins from the delivery guy.I heard the doorbell ring.“I’ll get it”, I stopped Denis from getting the door. It could be the delivery guy, and I didn’t want them to know what was in the package, or the kindhob I signed up for.I opened the door and saw the cute man and smiled instantly.“Hi miss, please sign here”, he said softly “Oh yeah, yeah sure” I chuckled and asked for a pen which he gave me. “Bye, thanks” he turned around to leave and I got back in the house.Immediately, I ran upstairs to avoid any questions from Mom or Denis.I opened the package and boy!
The Billionaire’s Escort At Paul’s
MARGAI ran till I reached Paul’s bar. It wasn’t very far from midnight cafe.I was so exhausted and it was alteady 9:40pm, I had just 20minutes to get dressed and get to work.I met entered the bar and it was so full of people. Probably some who came to pay for sex, some who came to listen to the live band, some who came for the strippers …like me.I could barely make my way through till I met a lady, a blonde. I asked her to show me the dressing room, which she did. She said her name was Bri and she was the top stripper. I also introduced myself and she was kind enough to help me get dressed and showed me a few moves on the pole in the dressing room so I don’t embarrass myself out there.She dressed me up, did my makeup, and lastly wore my mask. I won’t lie, I looked hot. I almost didn’t recognize myself. Bri had switched up my boring eyes to forest green and she put deep red lipstick on my lips. With my mask on, no one could ever know who this stripper was.I was set for work when

Marga’s POVI looked at him with so much disdain. Did he follow me? Why did Paul assign me to his room? Okay, maybe not an assignment but why did he accept this offer?? Bloody hell!I was going to slam the door in his face and walk away but $10,000 is a lot of money. Still glaring at him I shoved him to the side and got into the room. “Okay, I’ve got 10 minutes with you. Get down, do what you paid for, and let me get the hell out of here”, I told him as I walked towards the bathroom“And why are you going into my bathroom miss?”, he asked me “Well because I have to clean up duhh”, I rolled my eyes not looking back in his direction Was he so dumb? Did he want dirty sex? “Okay, I’m gonna give you $10,000 but I don’t want to sleep with you. Just get out of my face”“Free money? Just like that? You’ve gotta be kidding me”Why was he giving me free money? I didn’t wanna take it but a girl’s got to do what a girls got to do. My mom’s life was at stake here so I had to take it. “No st

The Billionaire’s Escort Lusting for the strange girl
Alex Her voice was so subtle. I could keep talking to her forever for she sounded like an angel. I cleared my voice and spoke up again, trying to re-introduce myself before she freaked out and hung up on me“Hi, it’s Alex from earlier, I got your number from Paul”, I said abruptly On a normal day, I’d never do this but there was just something about her. I wanted to keep talking to her, her grumpiness and pouting made me go crazy, she looked so cute earlier when she tried to be rude to me and it made me want to see her even more. Not that I was attracted to her or anything, I just wanted her in my bed. I wondered how it would feel getting such a stubborn girl under my sheets“Oh, you again. Hi, why do you have my number?”, she asked in a rather odd tone “Well I didn’t catch your name, so I got your number from Paul. I want to see you again. Tomorrow, 6:45 pm, Veta Plaza”, I didn’t want to be soft with her. Soft is not who I am she had to know I wasn’t lusting after her foolishly.

MARGAWhile in the bathroom, I wondered what tonight was going to look like. I had never been to his house, I didn’t know anything about him, not even his name. I slouched into my small size bath tub which was just perfect for me. It wasn’t the coziest or most fancy but at least it made do for my little bath times. I didn’t have to break a sweat on making an impression with what to wear ‘cause he said he’s sending an outfit for me. I didn’t have any proper clothes, I was going to wear any of my rags. A tingly sensation traveled through my body and a hush feeling of excitement brought a coy smile upon my face. For the first time, I think someone was actually interested in me. I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but his gestures were commendable.I rose up from the bath tub, stretching my hand out to my faucet for support to stand upright. I grabbed my towel and ruffled it through my wey my hair hoping to make it dry. I felt like a well plucked chicken after shaving every single strand
The Billionaire’s Escort Reminiscing
ALEXI made it right in time for breakfast. Breakfast for me was usually lonely, with no one to eat with, unless Julia or Paul were around. I’ve asked Grace to join me several times but she doesn’t listen. So now it’s just going to be me on the dining, eating alone. Speaking of Julia, I haven’t seen or heard from her in a while. She’s probably fine. If she were not, she’d be here nagging either about money or sex. I was going to call her to come over but for some reason I was so hesitant about it. And Paul, I could go over to his bar to pay him a visit anytime. I hadn’t seen him in 2 weeks, I wonder how he was. I made my way downstairs and into my dining room. I was greeted with the fine smell of fried bacon and garlic bread which enveloped the room. I liked my bacon medium rare, anything other than that, I made sure not to eat.The dining room exuded an air of refined elegance, with its soft, muted color palette and opulent decor. The walls were adorned with tasteful artwork. I w
The Billionaire’s Escort Waiting for my guest
ALEXAs the first rays of sunlight gently peeked through the curtains, of my room, I wiggled in my cozy bed. I slowly opened my eyes, feeling well-rested and content after a restful night's sleep. The room was covered in a warm, golden light, casting a soft glow over everything it touched.I sat up and stretched, casually feeling stiff and sloppy. I could hear the chirping of birds outside, and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of nearby trees. The air was crisp and fresh, carrying with it the promise of a new day.I knew I didn’t have to go to the office today. I had my assistant Gina cancel all of my meetings. I wanted to stay home today, moreover, I had a guest coming over later. With a warm smile on my face, I got out of bed and made my way to the window, to start my morning routine. I loved to watch the sunrise or at least be in the sun for 15 minutes daily. As I drew back the curtains, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight: the sky painted in hues of pink, orange, and gold a

MARGADon’t forget. 6:45 pm sharp, better be ready. My chauffeur will pick you up. He’ll give you a bag; in it, you’ll find a dress, a pair of shoes, and a clutch purse—and jewelry to match the outfit. Make sure you look stunning. I was awed by his audacity. What made him think I’d even want to go see him? He didn’t even ask me for my schedule or if I’d be free at that time. Such a grumpy man. I stared at his text a little bit longer, a line of sweat rushed down my spine as I felt a tingly sensation hover around my body. Uggh. I better catch some sleep now. I murmured. It was already 5:38 am and I hadn’t slept for a second. Today was going to be a long long day, the earlier to rushed to bed, the better for me. I rose from the dressing table and walked over to my bed, falling like a rock, forgetting to charge my phone which was almost dead.I slept off calmly after all the chaos earlier that night.No! I can’t let you hurt her, she’s only a child. She knows nothing. Do what you wa

ALEX Before I could answer Grace, I got distracted by a call from Paul. Thank God he called, I didn’t know what I was going to say to Grace that would convince her to leave my room. I smiled sheepishly at Grace, watching her glare at me with a look that said “You’re not off the hook”,I dashed out of my office into the lounge to talk to Paul.“Hey dude, what’s up?”, “Hi, yeah man all’s good. Uh have you heard from Marga?”, he askedI was a bit confused. I didn’t know who Marga was, or why Paul would ask me about her/him.“Who’s Marga dude?”, I asked trying to clear up my doubt“The girl from the club two nights ago man. The one you gave $10,000”, he addedPaul didn’t know I gave her $12k instead of $10k and I wanted to keep it that way for some odd reason.“Uh no, I haven’t heard from her, why ask”, “She hasn’t been to work in 2 days, i was starting to get worried, and her number is unreachable”, he stated“Ah don't know man, maybe you should ask the other girls in the club, they sh

Marga Before I could say anything I got interrupted by him “Hi, it’s Alex from earlier, I got your number from Paul”, he answered abruptly It felt odd, why did he have my number and why did he call me ? I wanted to hang up so badly but being rude to someone who just gave me $12,000 not upto 2 hours ago is insane “Oh, you again. Hi, why do you have my number?”, I asked in a firm tone I wanted him to say what he wanted from me quickly. I got up from my bed and starting pacing back and forth, not sure of how to feel. I was nervous and excited at the same time. His voice was the most soothing thing to hear and it made my heart flutter so much.“Well I didn’t catch your name, so I got your number from Paul. I want to see you again. Tomorrow, 6:45 pm, Veta Plaza”, he said, sounding like a grumpy little kid The hell?? What was that ? An order?. I mimicked him mockingly Was he giving me orders because of the money he gave to me? A hot flush of blood ran through my veins and I was s
