Chapter 1

LEILA..The rain never smelt fresh here. Never. It soaked into the old, lined building that looked tired of existence and clung to the air, melding with the stale rot of spilled beer and the acrid tang of burnt cigarettes thrown on the pavement of the alley shrouded in darkness.I strode through it anyway, fingers tightening around the damp bills in my hands. The wetness didn’t bother me. Once dried, it could be used again.I counted the notes slow, doing maths I was never good at. Mom’s hospital bill. Dad’s debt…there’s nothing left.I barely registered the chipped brick of my building, or the termite-infested wooden stair, until I was at the door of my apartment.The moment I creaked the door open, I knew something was wrong.“Thank goodness you’re back.” My father scurried towards me, his breath burning with the pungent smell of cheap beer, his washed black singlet hanging loosely over his alien bony frame. Thanks to years of drug usage.My stomach twisted. But it wasn’t his si...

Chapter 2
Leila..Damien shouldn’t be here. His father was Tony Smith, an American—not Italian. I knew that much, yet here he was standing before me in flesh, cloaked in a name that ignited fear at every nook and cranny of Las Vegas.Leonardo Alvaro.Of every monster in the Alvaro family, Leonardo was the worst. The most brutal. The most feared. There was a saying that you must have committed a grave sin to cross paths with Leonardo.It never sounded like Damien.Damien was the boy who ran late to school because he was helping an old woman cross the road. The boy who returned home covered in dirt because he spent his time searching for a lost puppy that wasn’t even his.The boy who refused to leave my side when I was down with a fever.My breath hitched. The air was thick. Too thick. But this wasn’t the time for this. No. I gulped down my panic. Desperately, I stepped forward.“Damien,” I called his name.Like the name was foreign to him, Damien flinched—faintly but not unnoticed.“Please

Chapter 3
LEILA..A thick gulp went down my throat, the hard slurping sound slipping into my ears. Thousands of words burned on my tongue. I could utter none. Not with Annette’s words echoing at the back of my mind.Squeezing the gown into my hands, I rose to my feet and began heading to the bathroom when Damien’s voice stopped me—midway.“Where are you going?”I turned. “To change. Obviously.”“You can change here,” he said, so casually.My eyes bulged wide. “In front of you?”Damien leaned against the door frame, arm crossed across his chest and a faint smirk tugged at his lips. “We showered together when we were younger.” His voice came out low—lazy.The air in my lungs stilled as the memory hit me. The two of us, years ago, slipping into the shower like it meant nothing. Clothes flying off without a thought. A care. Damien was smaller then—smaller than me. So short for his age that he barely reached my shoulders. His body was small—too small.Now, he was something else.I stared at him

Chapter 4
LEILA..I stood frozen in the center of the stage, my breath caught—trapped in my lungs.Silence unfurled, and the stretch between us widened, yet it felt like it was pulling tighter.“Don’t make me repeat myself.”I wanted to. I knew I had to. Yet, my body disobeyed. “I….I.” My throat worked as I swallowed hard. “I can’t do this, please,” I whispered out, my lips trembling.Damien leaned off the backrest. “You wanted to pay me back, right? To earn your freedom?” He curved his spine, resting his hand on his long legs. “This is your interview, I need to see your body before displaying it to my clients.”I stiffened, and my whole body tucked into itself. The way the words rolled off his lips. Without a care. Like I was a commodity. It stung—especially coming from him. Someone I had looked up to as an elder brother…then.I swung my rounded gaze to him. “Please, let me do another work. I could clean. Bartending. A chef in your house. Be a maid.” My words a gargled mess, lost in desper

Chapter 5
LEILA..His words hung in the air, heavy and stifling.They came his fingers, trailing, from the middle of my collar bone, down the valley between my breasts, his touch like a red metal branding iron—hot against my skin. It was like he was marking me—claiming me.Damien’s gaze remained on me as his fingers continued down until they stopped a few inches above the thong line.He left that place untouched. But, somehow it burned hotter than places he had touched.My breath trembled in my lungs and my logic began to waver, breaking beneath his stare.But I couldn’t—couldn’t do it. Not just because of what he would do to me. But because this was Damien.The boy I grew up with. The boy who used to be caring and soft. Who wouldn’t dare hurt a fly?But that boy was nowhere to be found, no matter how deep I looked into his eyes. The man that stood before was a stranger…a stranger with a familiar face. That was what Damien had become.Accepting his deal was like dining with the devil and we k

Chapter 6
LEILA..I hesitate, my hand hovering over the doorknob. Taking a deep breath that doesn’t quite calm the flutter in my chest, I twist it.The click seems so loud in the quiet place, as I pull further, walking in slowly, counting my steps.My breathe hitches as my eyes widens trying to adjust to everything in sight.Or maybe not because I can’t quite see anything here, except where I’m standing. The room is drenched in red, the first thing I notice of it, the red coating everything like the one I had seen in movies, the red room, I could tell the danger of it.I widen my eyes trying to see past all of this, trying to make out even a shade of what I’ve walked into as my head begins to swim that familiar wave of panic rising with fear as the cold grips my body.It feels so cold in here although I’m covered in a robe but it still does.“Where is this?” I whisper as the sound barely came out, the question hanging in the thick air, making it hard to understand.“I guess you don’t listen

Chapter 7
LEILA..His legs near the bed end, a smirk playing on his lips making a curve, it isn’t just scary, it’s like a punch to the guts that steals everything and the breath in my lungs.He knows exactly how much it’s messing with me, and the worst part is that his eyes are like glass with no emotions behind them at all just a sitting hatred.It send a fresh wave of fear washing over me.I grip the bed, the velvet suddenly feeling too soft way too luxurious for this whole messed up situation.My knuckles feel so white, I don’t need to look with my breath feeling stuck, like there isn’t enough air in this room. The play knife is glinting in his hand like a promise of something terrible about to happen, I can see his pants been stretched tight, his crotch growing harder, my eyes widens but darts away before he catches them but I can see see it in my head.His goes back alittle looking like he was studying me, I just stayed there like a statue while I stared, shaking within, I know I’m do

Chapter 8
LEILA..Right as his lips reach reaches my knee again.BAM BAM BAM. A hard insistent knock echoes through the heavy door. He freezes as I do too, saying a prayer in my heart, he drops the knife which he used.Not minding the knock, I guess no one dares do that except it’s important he continues his act.The ice still melting on the garter pant as it was almost finished, but his countenance has changed this time, like someone had interrupted something he’s really enjoying.Another knock.Louder this time and more demanding as it rings of impatience.His jaw tightens and I see a muscle twitch in his cheek. He lets out this slow controlled breath, like he’s trying to keep a lid on a volcano.Without breaking eye contact, he reaches into his pocket with, smooth and practiced and drops a small cold metal key onto the velvet right next to my cuffed hands.My finger twitch, desperate to grab it but the cuffs hold me as a prisoner, the chain rattling uselessly against the bed-frame.He fin

Chapter 9
LEILA..I waited until i heard the door click shut, the sound echoing in the silence of this place.My head remained tucked beneath the sheet after Gerald had stared at me with such unsettling intent before finally going back to what had brought him here.It felt surreal like i was some figment of his imagination that had momentarily sprung forth and to think it was my first time seeing him again since the agonizing experience which we all share.Damien still sat there, his expression worried as if i had done something wrong or maybe what Gerald had brought to him because i know i heard few words and all and I could tell its all illegal, anything concerning the Alvaros is definitely illegal.He looked at me, a strange intensity in his gaze, before standing up and walking towards me again.“I’m not done here,” he stated, his tone firm.I looked at him, my eyes wide with a fear that clawed at my throat. How wasn’t he done? He had just shifted his mood like a switch had been flicked. M

Chapter 10
LEILA.. I moved closer to the door of my room, the unease in my gut tightening with a hesitant breath, I pushed the door open.The sight that greeted me was jarring.A young woman was sprawled on the floor, her body wracked with sobs, curse escaping her lips in ragged gasps. She looked small and fragile, completely overwhelmed by whatever happened. I ran to her side, dropping to my knees, my hand instinctively reaching out to rub soothing circles on her back with my eyes moving towards the doorway, scanning for any sign of who might have done this, and if someone was close to the door or something.“What happened here?”She didn’t look up rather her gaze was fixed on the rug beneath her, tears streaming down her face, my the pain in my heart deepen, making me remember how vulnerable I was too.“They… they said my father owes the Alvaros…” Her voice was thick with tears, barely audible.“…and I have to serve for it… they said I will be taken to a stripping agency… with time… and I
