"Is it your first time? "

"Please the bakery isn't doing so well. I promise I will pay the moment she's out of surgery " she pleaded.

It was her fifth time this week begging him for money but he turned a deaf ear. But she didn't care how he treated her, all she wanted was the money.

"Last time your brother almost destroyed my office when he found out I gave you a loan for the bakery. Now you are pressuring me again. Please just leave " he shouted.

"He won't find out I promise. I just need the money urgently." Rose promised

"Why don't you go to your brother. He might help you out this time " said the loan shark

"I can't he busy with his finals. please help me " she cried.

" If I give you the money. What do I get in exchange? " a voice asked.

Rose raised her head for the first time and looked at the stranger who had been watching her for a while.

He seemed to be a guest to the loan shark. She didn't notice him when she entered the office.

But since he had offered to help she immediately noticed him.

"I just need the money desperately. I will do anything you ask " She carelessly said.

His eyes scanned her body and a smile appeared on his face.

"You will do just fine. Report here today and get the check " he stood up and handed her a business card.

Feeling grateful she took the card and thanked him. She left the room with a feeling of accomplishment.

Checking the card it had "EDEN ".She breathed in and left the building.

"Did you get the money? " Her coworker at the bakery asked.

"I did. Am getting it today evening "

"WHAT... so fast I thought he was going to let you beg until your knees bled. I just hate that bastard " she cursed.

Rose knew if she told her friend she was going to get the money from another source. Then she wouldn't agree.

"Let me call the hospital to tell them to go ahead with the surgery. Since the money is on the way.

"Hello doctor, you can go ahead with the surgery. I will deposit the last installment tomorrow morning. OK Doctor I will be there " she promised.

The bakery was on the brink of closure since it lacked customers. So she couldn't make enough to cater to her mom's hospital bills and brother's tuition. Part-time jobs always paid less.

"What would be the price I have to pay this time. Last time I became a waitress, then later I was a cleaner. What would it be this time? " she wondered.

In the evening after the bakery was closed. she followed the card's location and got to the club. Where she was directed to the boss's office.

"Ohh she's here " he stood up and welcomed her.

"H..ello s...ir " she stammered

"Don't be shy. You are going to use the money to save your poor mother. You should be proud " he said as he motioned her to seat down.

Taking the seat offered she asked what he wanted her to do. He smiled and looked at her again.

"It's a very small job. My girl is sick and she usually entertains the VIP customers. And today I have a very special one that I can't afford to offend. So..that is where you come in "

She had been listening but when he said the last phrase her insides turned. What was he saying? She looked at him waiting for him to continue.

"You have to entertain him for a while. He's very cold and distant from people so you just have to sit there and look pretty. That's all "

She felt his words weren't trustworthy but she needed the money. She pushed the voice that screamed "NO" behind a wall in her head and nodded.

He thought she would slap him, call him a pervert, and run away. But she didn't which surprised him.

"I will do it. I can act pretty don't worry. But can I get the cheque before I leave? I just want to do the job after being paid " She said.

He smiled "Of course ... He got out his checkbook and filled a page, tore it out, and gave it to her. My men will show you the changing room and take you to the guest," he said.

She looked down at the piece of paper that she was risking her life for. She didn't know if they were traffickers or organ robbers but all she knew was that the piece of paper would help her mom. She followed the men out watching down at the crowd that seed to enjoy the loud music.

After changing into what seemed to be a beggar's outfit since it looked torn she come out.

Looking at the men's reaction when they saw her come out she knew it was the right outfit.

Alfred watched her being taken to the car and smiled. She was desperate to even agree to something she didn't know. He hadn't even got her name yet.

She felt cold in the car. The dress was too skimpy and showed her delicate chest. Feeling uncomfortable she crouched into the seat to gain warmth.

"Did my life turn out like this? having to do night jobs for club entertainers " she sniffed feeling colder.

"We are here. please leave the car " one of the men told her. She came out and realized it was a hotel and a seven-star at that.

She followed them inside.

"Arthur, please today is my birthday you should stay longer" Someone shouted. " My friend is sending a beauty to entertain us so don't go anywhere "

"I agree it is your birthday but I have a business deal to break tomorrow. I have to leave soon " a charming voice said.

Arthur had been friends with Sean since their elementary days. So they were basically like brothers.

Before he could continue someone knocked on the door.

"Come in it's open. It's just the beauty" Sean smiled and moved to the door. He had decided to have no guests and no party since he had to report to the office the next day too. But girls didn't hurt.

She entered the room with her body trembling but with an inner voice now screaming "You can do it"

"Hello " she greeted them.

"Don't bother with that come to join us " Sean invited her. She moved slowly to his side and sat down.

The other guy was staring at her with clear green eyes. But said nothing. She lowered her head and kept silent.

Sean offered her a drink and turned in the music. She took the drink but didn't drink it.

She stared at Sean who seemed to be busy singing his birthday song. He was drunk.

He turned to her and shouted "It's impolite to not drink something offered to you in goodwill "

Thinking he was angry she drank it in one scoop.

He smiled and continued singing.

She felt her head get heavy. Her alcohol tolerance was always bad that she stopped on one glass. So she avoided alcohol but now just because she had to please the guests she drank it. Feeling the room move around.

He had been staring at her for an hour now. Her presence had affected him greatly. He drank more than two cans of alcohol without knowing.

His eyes couldn't leave her sight.

She was slim but with a good body, the dress seemed uncomfortable for her but showed all the right parts of her body. Her lips were so red and her blue eyes screamed innocence. Maybe the alcohol had affected his senses and sight but he wanted to look at her more and more.

"Is it your first time ?" he finally asked after seeing her drink the offered drink.

She turned her face and looked at him " It is my first time. But am not an entertainer "

"I need the money for my mother's surgery," she said with silent sobs.

He watched her and smiled. She was drunk with just one glass. Yet he drank more than one and still felt sober.

She stood up and shouted "YESSss.... I can do anything for my mother. I begged for almost a week at a loan shark office, then became an evening entertainer. Just for the money am not a bad daughter. Am I?" she turned to him and asked

He watched her yell and move where Sean had collapsed and asked the same question.

"What I fool to have drunk alcohol if you knew you couldn't handle it" he sneered at her.

He stood up and dragged his friend to the bedroom. Then returned to find her curled up in the seat with a bottle in her hand.

"Why are you drinking when you can't even withstand a glass " he pulled away the bottle from her clutches.

She screamed and cursed " Why are you telling me what to do stranger? I can drink cause am an adult "

"Where do you stay? I can ask my driver to drop you home " he asked

But she seemed too drunk to answer. So he carried her to the next hotel room he had booked in case he got too drunk.

He dropped her on the bed and went into the shower to freshen up.

She woke up feeling uncomfortable in the dress. Trying to take it off.

He found her struggling with the zip. He came near her and helped her pull it down.

The dress fell exposing her delicate white skin. And when she turned her two soft breasts met with his cold chest.

His heart rate zoned out of its pace and almost stopped. He had been with women before but why was she affecting him this way.

Turning around he blamed the alcohol for his weird feelings.

"Why are running away. Do I disgust you stranger ?" she shouted.

Stopping in his tracks he gave her a look. Her lips were red and so was her face, her body swayed from side to side moving her hips seductively.

"No you don't," he said after turning away again

"Then why don't you look at me? "She moved towards him and jerked him to face her.

"Do you know how long I have spent without a boyfriend, 3 years? I think I disgust men or am not just good with love " she cried.

He watched her drunked show silently. He tried pushing her back to bed to cover her body but failed. His body was heating up with every move she made in front of him. He had never wanted any woman like this.

But she was a stranger and drunk, he couldn't even if he wanted to. Still caught in his thoughts he didn't see her come closer to him.

He felt her lips come in contact with his. Trying to kiss his. His heart gave away.

Pushing her away from shock. She came back with force and jumped on him. Her body landed in his arms. Using her legs and arms to support her, she put her legs around his waist and arms around his head.

Not moving from the shock he felt her slide but he immediately put his arms around her waist to give her firm support.

"See I don't disgust you. If I did you would have thrown me out " she stared at him with her blue innocent eyes.

"Why did you have to drink? You were so shy when sober but now a nuisance when drunk "he stated

She didn't wait for him to add and bent down to taste his lips again. She lightly kissed him and said " it's been so long since I kissed someone. But I like it "

His body was colliding with her half-naked body that he couldn't fight it anymore. He pulled her head towards him and kissed her slowly parting her lips. She didn't object but let him kiss her.

His kisses became hungry and intense that she felt the air being taken out of her lungs.

After what seemed to be a while he let her go so they could breathe.

" I liked it" she whispered earning a smile from him.

Claiming her mouth again he moved towards the bed where they both fell. His towel around his waist moved and fell on the floor.

She moved to give him a gap to unhook her bra finally exposing her well-grown breasts to him.
