Who said you could take her....
Adinah wouldn't want her siblings to see her dressed up like this, so she dressed up in her friendly neighbor's house
"Your boyfriend is lucky to have you, even without makeups like some living dolls, you still look gorgeous, but don't you think the cloth is a little to revealing" Mrs Flora her neighbor said raising her upper lips as she sized Adinah up with her eyes
It was a short dress, which had a v opening between her cleavage, with nothing covering it up, her milky curvy legs, was in full view, the dress didn't bother hiding her curvaceous body a bit.
Her kneel length high heeled boot gave her a more die for look, but her paled and sorrowful face didn't do well on her looks
"My...'she spaced out " He likes it this way" she said, as she forced a weak smile on her cheeks
"Okay, that good, I think I would take the dress from you as soon as you are done with it" Mrs Flora said jokingly and Adinah smiled
"I guess I would be leaving now, my ride should be outside now" she said and gave a courtesy as she left her neighbor's house with an heavy heart
'so this was how are once beautiful life would end up' a sigh left her lips as she dragged the dress to cover her legs, but nothing was helping, it was to revealing
The car which would pick her as promised was waiting on the street.
She walked up to the car, as her heart thudded fast and wild.
She entered the car, with only the car driver in it, she didn't bother to greet the driver who gave her an hard stare which she ignored.
As soon as the car started, she stared outside of the car, to distract her from her disturbing thougts, but it wasn't helping, her gaze wondered to the sky which was already getting dark
"Mom, dad, please help me, just this once" she said to the sky, as she took out a locket which she held in her boot and unclasped it, with the picture of her late ma and Pa popping out of it "I know you won't want this to happen to me either, just help me out of this, and I promise to be a good daughter, even with all what you guys had done to me and my siblings, am really willing to forgive you, please I don't want to give my first to that wrench of a man" tears rolled down her once lively face which had turned pale.
The drive went on, till they stopped in front of a building with buzzing sounds of music, and flashy light dancing around it
This is VISCARIA, a place where rich people, come to have fun, gambling by the rich and other immoral stuffs by the rich are done here
She had begged her father to bring her here a long time ago, but he shunned her off, telling her this place wasn't for girls like her, and she should stay at home, but now here she was, a sardonic smile played on her beautiful red lips.
She walked out of the car, with her already sweaty palm as she squeezed on them
"I would walk you up to the room" the driver said
Her heels clicked on the outer floor of VISCARIA, immediately she entered, she felt different gazes on her, which made her really uncomfortable, that she had to start trying to pull her dress to cover her kneels further, but it won't budge from it current place.
*. *. *.
"I can't believe, their would be more beautiful and alluring thing to see today at VISCARIA today" one of the business men who engaged himself in gambling said as he stared lustfully at the lady who just entered the club and got everyone staring "what a lass" the same man said as he licked on his lips lustfully
"A shy one, don't you find her familiar" another man said as he had forgotten he was gambling and continued staring at Adinah, trying to remember where he had seen her before
"Are you still playing, or you could just continue staring, and let me get my money going" a cold domineering voice resounded off the table jolting the men around the gambling table
"W..e are s..orry Mr Brown" they all stuttered, they all needed to get their money back, the man had beaten them six times, and had taken most of their valued stuffs and money, but still the men around the table don't want to give up, in hope to get their money back.
*. *. *
Adinah sat on the bed in the luxurious room, her hands fisted on the bed sheets
'No I can't do this, I can't" she could only pray for a miracle to happen. Suddenly hope came to her again, she was the only one in the room now, since the driver had seen her, she could still easily escape, and make up a lie, that she had being waiting for him for hours, and he didn't come
She quickly stood up and went to the door, trying to open it, only to realize it had being locked from outside, she banged on the door repeatedly, but it won't budge
She was trapped, 'it's over' she taught as she kicked the boots off her legs in frustration.
She looked at the lamp placed on the stool beside the bed intently "I would kill for my freedom" she said as she went ahead and sat calmly on the bed, waiting for the disgusting man.
She had the creaking sound on the door, and the need to save herself from the man rushed in
"Hi honey" the port bellied man walked in with full beared that designed is face.
Adinah felt the urge to puke on the man's face, but she covered the disgust on her face with a smile, which somewhat pleased Felix as he walked up to the girl, licking his lips lustfully
Adinah eyes moved towards the door, with hope that the man didn't lock it.
Her hand stylishly gripped on the glass lamp which was on the stool near her, which went unnoticed by Felix. Immediately he got to her, she let it down on his head
"Ahhhh" he cried out as blood dripped from his bald head.
She quickly moved towards the door, and unlocked it with her unsteady hands, immediately she got out, she saw Felix's men stationed outside the room
They looked at Adinah with questioning eyes, she didn't wait for them to stop her, and made a run out of the corridor, praying she would get to the main club in no time
The guards later realizing what had transferred, started chasing Adinah.
Adinah being a fast runner, got to the club quickly, 'what should she do, if she'd made a run outside now, they would catch her and bring her back here' she thought as she rushed in the midst of the crowd who were dancing
Getting the crowd as her protector, the set of Felix's men, didn't stop their chase even in the midst of the dancing crowds
She saw a circled Billboard on a pole, with "Gambling section playing on it screen"
Without thinking twice, she entered the gambling section
*. *. *
"Fvck" all the men around the table cursed, this was the tenth time Lucius had beat them
"Don't still want to give up" Lucius asked with a smirk tainting his upper lips "I won't mind taking you guys properties to gamble on, but I would not want your wives and poor children to be a thing of the street later on"
The older men around the table where angry, but just wore a fake smile on, it was really unfair, being picked on by a 25 yrs old
"Son of a fvcker" one of the men on the table whispered in gritted teeth, which went unheard by others
"Are you saying something Peterson" Lucius asked the man who had just cursed at him
"No" the man pulled a fake smile "just telling myself how merciful you are" the man replied
"I won't mind hearing the opposite... Lucius was cut off, when the lady, which the men drooled at earlier, ran into the gambling section, as if she was been chased by the wilds
Lucius didn't seemed bothered, and usher for his men to pack up his gambling prize to leave. As he was set to walk out of the gambling section, he felt an arm, tightened around his waist.
Everyone present in the gambling section gasped, as they saw the lady who had entered, hugging the great Lucius.
Even Lucius had shock written all over his face, till anger set in, he angrily unclasped the arms from his waist
"Everyone fvcking one of you out of here" Lucius roared, and in no time, the section was cleared
" How dare you" he clenched on the girls petite arms, which had dared to touch him
" Help me, please" tears dripped down Adinah's cheek.
Her eyes moved towards the gambling section entrance, and she saw the men who where chasing her from earlier walked in
"Please, help me from them" she stared into Lucius sapphire eyes again, in hope he would help her
She knows this man so well Lucius Brown, she knew how cold hearted the man was, but it was better trying, even if this trying would be her Doom
"Mr Brown, we are really sorry, for she ran away from Mr Felix, knowing she owes him a huge amount of debt, and have to pay the price" one of the men explained, and Adinah bit her lips as more tears dripped down her cheeks
"What price" Lucius suddenly asked
"She had made a deal to pay with her body to the master, but want to go back now, after a month of the deal"
" I never made any deal, he forced it on me, why can't your master just die and go ask my father for his payment" her body trembled as she spoke
" We need to take her now" the guards said as the pulled Adinah off Lucius
"Please help me, I promise to be of great benefits to you in the future, I can work as a maid in your house, I would do anything you want, just please" Adinah said as she was dragged off, begging the man, who stood like a statue
"Who said you could take her" Lucius said surprising Adinah, who was immediately let go by the Felix's men
"How much does she owes your boss" Lucius asked
"A fortune" one of Felix's men said
" Hand over the bags" Lucius said as he brought out a cigar from his suit pocket, and lit it up
Lucius men taught they didn't hear their boss correctly "I don't like repeating myself, hand over the bags"
"W.. what bags b.boss" one of Lucius men said in a stuttering voice
"All the bags with you" Lucius said as he puffed out smokes into the air
All the bags, containing great fortunes, was handed to Felix men, whose eyes where wide in shock
"Am sure it would pay off the fortune you mentioned" Lucius said calmly " and before you leave, tell your boss, my regards to his daughter" Lucius said the words politely, with a smile, but it was vivid, the word he said, had an underlying meaning
Adinah slid to the floor as she burst into tears ' she didn't have to sell her body again, she was freed '
Lucius stared at the woman on the floor, and a quick look of disbelief and shock crossed his eyes
The men where gone when she raised her eyes "greater benefits in the future" Lucius mimicked and scoffed, he suddenly lowered himself to her sitting height, he pushed her chin up with his thumb "Don't let me ever see this face again, because if I just get a sniff of your face, I would make your life unbearable" he smirked making Adinah shudder in fear, as she stared into his icy sapphire eyes
He stood up and left
Adinah muttered ' thank you', even though she was sure the man didn't hear her
She raised herself up, and walked out of VISCARIA barefooted
Her mind had never felt this free till now, but something got her worried, why did the man not ask her for anything in return and only asked for her face not to be shown to him again .
