SOFIA

The saying that beggars can't be choosers, is a platitude that truly hints at the choicelessness that pleading subjects one to.

Another item in the list of things I hated doing was begging. Especially for things that normally I shouldn't be pleading for.

But life as a bitch can often leave us with no choice but to beg. Just as it's doing now, as I face the reputable CEO of the Wellington Fashion Empire.

He had his hands steepled as he leaned forward in expectancy.

For 8 years, I didn't beg for anything. All my needs were met even before I voiced them. I had everything at my beck and call, but not anymore.

For everything I want. For every need, I had to beg for it. I had to grovel until my pleas were deemed enough.

Alicia loved it when I begged. It gave her utmost satisfaction to see me go down on my knees and plead.
