The Past

Vanessa Collins"The boss wants to see you".I looked up at Romario before he smirked at me and left the room. The other girls were looking at me but the most concerned was Alexa, who introduced me to this kind of work. I glanced in the mirror once more before getting up and leaving the girls lounge area.My heels clicked on the floor as I made my way down the long hall and stopped at my boss Zed's office door. I knocked and waited until I hear his approval for me to enter. He was seated around his desk one finger in his teeth while his other hand was on his lap."You know why I called you in here?"His voice was rough and always gave me the creeps. I shook my head no as a smirk formed on his lips. My hands played with the hem of my mesh thigh high stockings. 2 years ago I was no one, I had no money, no family, nothing. That was until Alexa and I met. She told me of the work she did and that she was earning so much money. After our conversation she told me t

Chapter One

2 years later Vanessa Collins I end the call before sighing deeply and placing the phone in my pocket. The owner of the house that am staying at have decided to throw me on the streets since I owe two months of rent. Can life get any worse? I don't think so. I couldn't live on the streets especially New York streets. I started walking down the pavement clutching my coat closer to my body. Ever since what happened two years ago I've been struggling. It actually wasn't always so. After Omar offered me a ride when I was being chased, I told him everything that happened with my past and the type of work that I did. He didn't judge me or anything of the sort and I stayed at his place for a few months. We got closer and closer then we end up sleeping together. But then he met in a car accident and died. I was beyond devastated that I cried until I couldn't anymore. T

Chapter Two

VanessaI stood on the outside of a mansion. I asked the driver if he was sure this was the place and he told me it was. The outside, the gardens were well groomed and so beautiful that I think I spent more than a minute just admiring it. The color pallete was white and blue and I noticed a few accents of gold here and there.I pulled my suitcases along with me to the front door. I was glad the driver was too caught up in talking to a passenger in the front seat to notice the smells. I knocked on the door before stepping a few inches back. I looked around the place before my attention was drawn by the sound of a lock clicking.The door opened revealing a tall, black guy. He was dressed casually in Jeans and a white button up shirt and had a small smile plastered on his face."Hello, how may I help you?"His voice was deep but not coarse. I

Chapter Three

VanessaI was awoken by a knock on the door. I groaned lowly before running a hand through my hair and opening it. I was greeted by no other than Mr. Pierce who had a smile on his face."Good morning, seems like you slept well. Julia is waiting for you downstairs""Ok Mr -"My name is Devin", he said before walking away. I close the door and went to the bathroom.After brushing my teeth and setting my hair I left the room and made my way downstairs. I saw Julia looking exceptionally beautiful. I don't usually compliment people so if I do then that must be saying something.They were laughing about something that seemed really funny and when they noticed my presence, Devin crossed his legs and half smiled at me while Julia turned and looked at me."Hello - I didn't quite get your name the last time"

Chapter Four

Vanessa "Nice to meet you vanessa, I'm Akilah and I will show you around and get you sorted for your first day, follow me". She was beyond beautiful. Her dark, smooth chocolate skin and her shiny black hair. She could pass for a model because of her slim figure or a spokesperson because her voice was laced with confidence. I followed her behind the counter and into the kitchen area. I didn't know exactly what would be my job so I dressed casually in dark coloured clothes. There was a guy with a beard at the stove area that looked like the head chef, a girl and two other guys who seem a few years younger than me. "This is Cajito, he was a Italian chef in the past, we have Camille and these are Erin and Nolan". " hello", I said as they waved with a smile. Well not the chef ; he l

Chapter Five

*A week later* Vanessa "Why is the couch like that?", I asked Devin when I noticed a pile of clothes mainly suits scattered all over it. "I'm going to a party tonight, Julia said I should invite you but she wasn't sure whether or not you'd accept", he replied before digging through the clothes perhaps looking for something specific. "I'm not interested in going to any party", was my reply before taking a seat. It will be full of rich and cocky people who thinks they're on top of the world because they got it all. If I was rich, I can't deny that I won't feel as good as them but it's also good to be humble. How much of them helped the poor? I'm not a saint - we're only human and eventually one day we will all die leaving all our riches behind, so why not share it and let the poor feel as good? "I had a fe

Chapter Six

Vanessa It was after six in the night. Devin told me to be ready by seven so I was currently doing my hair. I made it into a bun before placing my small nub earrings in my ear. I decided on another black slippers that I had which had straps that reached my mid - leg. I found my black purse and put some items in it to make it feel heavy - persons do that all the time. I glanced in the mirror once more. Small waist, very visible hips and my cleavage was full on display. I hope I didn't overdressed or dressed inappropriately because I wouldn't live the embarrassment down. I left the room and started going downstairs. I slowed my steps when I noticed another man in a suit standing typing away on his phone. He had about the same height as Devin and he had a darker complexion to him. He was so deep in his phone that he didn't even notice my presence when I neared him. "Hi"

Chapter Seven

Vanessa"I'm glad you came, nice dress by the way"."Thanks", I replied before taking a sip of my cocktail which consisted of lime and also coconut.We came back inside a little earlier and Julia and I have were having a conversation at the side of the room. After what Devin told me about Mordechai I developed this uneasy feeling. All I knew was that I didn't want to get involved with him at all, especially after what he did to my arm. He was rich and one wrong move from me could lead to something I didn't want."So, how is your work coming on?""Its fine", I say before glancing up stairs to see him talking to a woman dressed in a knee length dress. She screamed luxury from her matching accessories to the way her hair was designed."Oh, my husband is here", Julia said before walking off towards a man with a small beard

Chapter Eight

Vanessa"Did you see what the boss drove here this morning?", Akilah asked as we both cleaned the standing fridge together. I did see what the boss drove and I was puzzled because he didn't seem too rich and plus, this business is slow."I saw, wonder where he got the money from", I replied before going into the store room for the box juices and a few bottles of water. "Must have borrowed it from the bank", she said before helping me to stock the fridge."I don't see why thou. I mean - if it was me I would continue driving the car I had, then I would borrow the money and expand my business. Perhaps add another storey and serve a variety of different meals, maybe even have a bakery too", I replied before giving her a small smile.During my time working here, her personality was the top thing I admired about her. She was cool and easy to talk and that's a good thing. If persons spend more time smiling and being friendly to others they wouldn't be grumpy."Damn I love the way you think

Chapter Nine

Vanessa"You're joking right?"We all looked at the boss who's face was deadly serious. He shook his head no and that was when all of us sighed. I knew there was something off when he drove a new car to work that day. "So what are we going to do?", Erin shouted feeling the most depressed because he needed the money for his little sister. The boss threw his hands up looking sad as ever but I didn't care. This was all his fault and now the restaurant will be closed down because of bankruptcy.I felt kinda depressed also because finding another job could take weeks especially for a person who doesn't have a degree. I groaned before turning on my heel and leaving the place. Once outside I noticed that everyone else was leaving as the boss sat their with his head in his hands."This shit sucks", Erin said as we all nod in agreement. I felt for him because he has to take care of his little sister who was in a wheelchair. He had been taking care of her since their mom died and even thou per
