Relinquish

In my world, there is no such thing as love. It is just a lie we whisper into our client’s ear. Love is foreign and hazardous. What I did not expect was to bare my soul to a man who is as egotistical as he is dangerous. His name is Landon. Despite his blackened soul, he tried to save me, but what he didn't expect was my torturous fate to catch up with me. To your father, I'm the escort. To your mother, I'm the whore. To the legal system, I'm the prostitute. In the end, I'm just the other woman. I have no idea if I will continue to survive, if I will ever find my path aside from the gritty streets I know so well. There is a good chance I will wind up in the ditch like most women in my position. Surrendering to my fate is the only choice I have. I must relinquish it all. Relinquish is created by M.N.

Chapter 13

"You have your ways?" I twist my face in question, not sure what the hell that's supposed to mean.

Jayden rolls her eyes and falls back on her bed. "I stole some sandwiches from the college's cafeteria," she states, changing the subject. My mouth instantly waters; I haven't had anything to eat all day.

"You did?" My attention is completely on her, curious where she stuffed the delectable stolen goods. I should be angry that she did it, telling her it's not something she should be doing, but the growl in my stomach couldn't care less right now. Our food rations have been next to none with our lack of money. I'd be a liar if I said the thought of stealing food hasn't crossed my mind.

A loud knock sounds at the door, drawing our attention.

"Shit, you think it's the landlord?" Jayden whispers, sitting up. We stay perfectly still, making sure not to make a sound, waiting for the person behind the door to speak or go away.

"Charlie, you there? It's Chasen."
