Bitter Escape

"We have to sell her", Dahlia said.

"But why?",Ben asked.

"She has brought so much shame into this family", Dahlia responded.

"We're selling her off to the brothel cause she's a real slut and  sluts like her are meant to be in a brothel. Besides, Mrs Smith is going to pay us a huge amount of money", Dahlia added.

Dahlia loves money a lot, she can do anything for money and that includes selling her daughter off.

"But Dahlia she is still our dau..."

"Enough Ben, I have made up my mind already", Dahlia interrupted.

Ben looked at her and shook his head. If Dahlia sell's  Chrisley off, how is he going to keep on taking advantage of Chrisley?.

"Dahlia, she's our daughter we can't do this to her",Ben said.

"Enough Ben, Enough", Dahlia hollered and Ben flinched in fear .

She stared at him angrily.

"One more word from you and am going to slap you",She said and raised her hand threatening to slap him.

She glared at him before leaving for the bathroom.

"That witch",Ben muttered.

Meanwhile, Chrisley has been eavesdropping on their conversation. She was actually on her way to apologize to Dahlia but she got the shock of her life when she got to the entrance of Dahlia's room.

"Oh my goodness, they're planning to sell me off to a brothel",She muttered and covered her mouth with her hands.

She felt her heart shattering into smithereens. How can a parent be this cruel to their child. She felt tears gathering in her eyes.

"No,I can't let them do this to me, I have to find a way to escape from this place. I cannot let them ruin my life. Father has done enough already I can't let mother have her way",She muttered.

She went downstairs quietly heading for the entrance door.

"It's late already, I have no where to go. No,you can do this Chrisley  am sure you're gonna find help once you're out of here",She said confidently.

She opened the entrance door quietly and sneaked out. She took her heels immediately, running as fast as her legs could carry her.

She stopped rut when she noticed she's far away  from home. She sat on the floor trying to catch her breath.

"Jesus",She called panting heavily.

"Looks like we have a meal,a delicious one to be precise",A voice said from behind.

Chrisley looked back and became shocked. Three scary looking boys are standing right in front of her. Fear gripped her immediately.

"Hmm, she's really pretty", The second guy said and squatted in front of her, then he rubbed her cheek with the tip of his fingers.

Chrisley slapped his hand away and the guy stood up.

"Don't you dare touch me again",She said fiercely.

"Oh my gosh, I'm scared of her",the second guy said with sarcasm and the three boys burst  into laughter.

"I love her courage",The third guy said.

"You guys should scram!", Chrisley hollered.

"Not now babe,at least we are gonna have a taste of you before scramming off", The first guy said.

"Tonight is gonna be a red lettered one",the third guy said.

The boys started swirling around her for about two minutes before they stopped.

They started unzipping thier trousers.

Chrisley started moving back in fear.

"They want to gang rape me,no,no,please, please,have mercy on me please don't do this to me",She said with tears streaming down her eyes.

"We don't have mercy on people",one of them said.

Chrisley stood up and made an attempt to run but one of the guys caught her and pushed her on the floor roughly.

"Let's get into business",The second guy said and the trio burst into evil laughter.

                ______________

"We really enjoyed it",The guys said simultaneously and left.

Chrisley stood up and began walking like a zombie. She can't believe she was ganged raped. She couldn't cry because there are no more tears in her eyes.

Why is her life so miserable and unfortunate?. She's wishing the ground could open up and swallow her but that's impossible.

"Jesus,why am I so unfortunate?,why is my life miserable?. What's the essence of me living when I can't at least find peace?, Why am I alive when am so unfortunate?. Everything about me is so useless. Just take me,I don't wanna live, I wanna die so I can find peace",She screamed.

She sighted a car coming from a far and she gave a faint smile.

"Thank you Jesus, I'm coming to right now",She said.

Chrisley stood in the middle of the road and closed her eyes waiting for the car to hit her. The car was just few inches away from her when it stopped. The door opened and a fair lady dressed in a purple wrap dress. The wind blew her brown curly hair which reached her bra length as she walked towards Chrisley.

"Why did you stop the car?, please kill me I wanna die, please just hit me with your car I wanna die", Chrisley yelled as she gripped on the lady's arm.

"Are you insane?",The lady howled.

"Yes,yes I'm insane, please kill me, please kill me,I promise the cops are not going to chase after you, just kill me", Chrisley said.

"Your parents are going..."

"I don't have one, I'm an orphan, so just let me die",Chrisley interrupted.

"My life is so unfortunate", Chrisley said and sat on the floor.

"Stand up, I'll take you to my home", The lady said and Chrisley took a look at her.

How can she take a stranger to her home?, what if this is a set up?.

"Come on, stand up",The lady said stretching out her hand.

Chrisley placed her hand on the lady's hand and the lady pulled her up.

"By the way, I'm Marianne", the lady said with a smile.

They both entered the car.

"Drive", Marianne commanded and the driver ignited the engine before zooming off.

                  *******

The car halted in front of a big and elegant mansion painted in a  white . Marianne and Chrisley alighted from the car. Chrisley started in awe, it's like she's standing in front of paradise. She has never for once seen a mansion as beautiful and big as this.

"What's your name?", Marianne asked.

"Chrisley".

"Nice name, ok Chris let's go in", Marianne said and pulled Chrisley along with her.

Chrisley opened her mouth a gape when they got inside. The interior decoration was white and gold.

"Wow, she's really rich", Chrisley thought.

"What's going on here?", A masculine voice was heard.

Marianne and Chrisley looked in the direction the voice came from.

A good looking handsome guy dressed in a black suit with his hands tucked into his pocket, his black hair which reached half of his neck was styled perfectly and he had this arrogant soft look on his face.

"Wait this is MIGUEL NORMAN or am I seeing something else", Chrisley said.

MIGUEL NORMAN is the CEO of the best selling jewelry company in the world.

"Hey brother, I brought my friend, she's an orphan and as no place to go", Marianne said.

"Can't you just give her some money to rent a house,must you bring her here?", Miguel said.

"No,I felt like bringing her here", Marianne said with a pouted lips.

"She's a stranger "Miguel said solemnly.

"No, she's not,she maybe a stranger to you but not me, this is also my house so I can bring in anyone I like", Marianne half yelled.

"She can't stay here that's final", Miguel said.

Chrisley bit her lips, she doesn't want to leave here,she feels safe here maybe because she has no where to stay.

"Please let me stay here,i know I'm just a stranger and am not worthy enough to stay here but I'm helpless and have no place to go to or stay, please just let me stay here, I'll work as a maid, I promise to serve you loyally, just let me stay please", Chrisley begged.

Miguel felt his heart melting.

"Fine,but as a maid", Miguel said solemnly before walking away.

"Geez, Miguel is something else, I'll take you to the maids quarters", Marianne said and Chrisley gave a faint smile.

She's happy she saw a place to stay even if it's just as a maid.
