She lifted her head and saw an angry muscular man in black staring at them. Behind him were two men also in black wearing dark sunglasses to conceal their identity.
"Mr. Ben?" She called softly, the uncertainty thick in her voice.
"Don't you dare say my name, you vermin!" He growled as he pulled her hair roughly separating her from the little boy.
"Rose!" Jack called, crying.
He doesn't want to lose his sister the same way he lost his father.
"Just look at him. Scared. Helpless. And it's all your fault." he whispered to her ears. He kept his lips close to her ears like a man in the deep endless net of lust.
Her frightened eyes fixed on the innocent boy covered in tears. He was right, this was all her fault. She had brought this beast into their lives.
"Aww... He needs his mummy." Mr. Ben makes a creepy sound to mock the child's innocence. He sounded like he was enjoying their pain. The animal!
"You don't want to end up like your father right?"
Those words broke something inside Rose. She stared with blank empty eyes at the far end of the room. Suddenly she burst out struggling against the man laughing at her pain. A surprising amount of energy filled her as she trashed and clawed at him but everything she did was effortlessly waved away.
"This will be my last warning!" He releases her and she dropped to the ground harshly, unable to find strength needed to support her legs.
"You only have a week to fetch me my money! That's if you love your lives! The next time I come here I promise not to break just your door but your bones as well!"
He snapped his fingers and his men let go of Jack. The boy crawled quickly to his sister.
"Just look at them. Tiny helpless kittens." he laughed along with his men.
They walked out about to leave when the voice halts them.
"Mr. Ben!" Rose called angrily, holding on to her head which had hit the ground hard.
"You want your money right? I promise to give it to you within four days!"
Four days? Is she serious about this? How can she make that money within four days!? Was this courage or just plain stupidity, she wondered... Maybe she hit her head a little bit too much.
"Hmmm." he snorted. "Interesting. Not bad for a little girl like you." he laughed.
"That means I would be expecting my money within four days." he left with his men, mocking as they disappeared along the road. He was sure she was just talking big. He would derive so much pleasure in snapping her bones in just four days from now.
Four days? Did she think at all? How?
But she had to stand up for herself if not this torment wouldn't stop. Mr. Ben would never allow them to have peace in their lives, the same way he had tortured their father that made the old man lean into drinking and gambling all he had!
Now's their turn to pay for what their father couldn't finish. Mr. Ben is just another example of the existence of beasts. He doesn't care if they are too little to even feed by themselves. All he wants is his hell forsaking money!
She didn't believe that word came out of her mouth but she was certainly sure there was a way out of this mess her father created for them.
Although she was broke that doesn't give any idiot the opportunity to step on her.
"Rose," Jack called, still crying. "H- how? How are you going to pay for the money?" The crying boy asked her.
She gulped as she looked down on the broken boy. This is too much for him to handle for his age. She hated herself for feeling so helpless.
She managed to fix a fake smile on her face, "It's going to be okay" she simply replied. She's certainly sure all will be okay.
She taps on him.
"You gotta be," she whispered as warm tears escape from her eyes.
This has to stop!
Lilah!
Immediately, her mind flashed to her. She might be the answer to her problem,
Her old friend.
*********
Longing Hotel, aka Slut delivery.....
Lilah sat on a soft couch comfortably going through the file placed before her. It wasn't easy running this type of business but she had dedicated her life to the business.
Besides, it pays more than just being a simple waiter in the fanciest restaurant.
Gosh! She hated the idea of washing dishes and cleaning people's rubbish.
Hell no! That's not her type of work.....
At least, sitting down and making orders to satisfy their customer's urges was the best she can offer since she got promoted as the boss in charge of delivery.
The phone rang disturbing her silent mood. "What the fuck!" She exclaimed to herself.
"What?!" She screamed at the caller harshly.
"Madam, a lady is here to see you," the other voice on the line said,
"A lady? Who?"
"She said her name's Rosary."
"Let her in immediately!" she commanded flexing her new position. Her voice had softened at the sound of the name Rosary.
It was a great surprise. After all these years? She hardly heard from Rosary after she left for school. What could have happened that she appeared out of the blue?
She positioned herself well on the chair not knowing how to appear before her old friend. She glanced patiently at the door waiting for it to open any minute.
'Click'
The door made silly sounds whenever it opened from the outside. The head of a lady pops in first, peeking to take a view around the little apartment.
"Rose!" She called excitedly. She stood up squealing and embraced her in a warm and welcome hug.
"It's been so long." she said with teary eyes. She saw another shadow and glared at her back and saw she was not alone. Little Jack was with her.
"Oh, you brought Jack too?" she nodded silently. The little boy seemed happy to meet her even though it had been years since he saw her. He still remembered her face.
"Come here, my little prince," she said giving him the same hug she gave his sister.
"You still look pretty as always." Lilah said as she watched Rose.
"You too" Rosary replied finding herself a seat.
"So, tell me what brings you here."
"Lilah, I need your help" Lilah could see the trouble in her eyes. Something must be wrong. She knew Rosary and the girl looked worked up.
Even though she seemed worried, her eyes were still prettier than ever.
But this looks big. Lilah watched her watery eyes seeing the release of teardrops.
"What happened?" Lilah went straight to the point sounding worried. She can't console Rose without knowing what exactly was eating her up so badly. Lilah feared the worse instantly...
"My Dad," she said sadly.
If there's one thing to tear Rosary down was that good-for-nothing father she had.
That bastard never cared about them after the death of their mother, the only thing he cared for was money!
That's the same money that has brought problems into the lives of his children...
"Don't tell me that bastard lay his hands on you?" Lilah asked with her eyes burning in full hatred.
"No, he's dead."
"What!?" Lilah threw her hand over her mouth shocked.
It's had been a long time since they contacted each other. She never knew her friend had been going through hell.
When did she lose her father? The word still ran on her mind when Rosary suddenly ended the silence by saying.
"I want to be one of your delivery whore."
************
Chapter 3..
What!?" Lilah squealed in awe.
It's had been a long time since they contacted each other. She never knew her friend had been going through hell.
When did she lose her father? The word still ran on her mind when Rosary suddenly ended the silence by saying,
"I want to be one of your delivery whore."
"What!? Are you stupid?" Lilah couldn't understand what her friend had just said. She knew Rosary wasn't the type of girl for this type of work. She was too reserved and pure and had always put men on a short leash.
"What are you saying?" Lilah asked again still unable to believe she had heard correctly.
Her eyes widened as she tried to keep her voice down so that the little boy could not hear a word of their conversation. He was playing with some of the toys she used to give the office some color. His attention was solidly on the toys which was a good thing.
"Are you kidding me? You want to be a whore?" Rosary's silence was starting to make her nervous. If the girl didn't speak soon she would lose her mind.
Rosary simply nodded. She had made up her mind before coming. She knew the job and was ready to face the consequences. Delivery girls turn to billionaire, though on rare occasions. If that happens, she can rise up the money to pay off Mr. Ben and the others. She was worried about the others. She knew she could handle Mr. Ben. The monster you knew was way better than those you didn't know existed.
"Rosary, that kind of job is too dirty for a girl like you. You can't do it. I can help you with any other jobs if you want it. But this. I can't touch this. I just can't." Lilah said slowly selecting her words.
"But you have to help me Lilah. I need the job to pay off my father debt. The debtors are relentless. Please I need you to help me on this." the girl begged with watery eyes.
Lilah rested her back on the chair and stared at her friend for some while before asking, "How much is your father's debt?"
"Give or take. 10 grand."
"What?!" Lilah shouted, shocked, making the little boy turn wide eyed.
"Is everything okay aunty Lilah?" Little jack asked staring consciously at the two ladies who sat down facing each other. One with a surprise look on her face and the other with a pale face.
"Nothing my boy just adult stuff. You don't want to hear adult stuff now, do you?" she replies with a smile.
"Big pass" the little boy scoffed returning back to what he was doing. He really liked the office.
Lilah eyes widened in surprise. Why did Mr. Marcus borrow that type of amount to begin with. She knew the answer. Gambling.
She searched Rosary's eyes trying to understand the pains she was going through. It was hell for her all these days after the death of her father. Why would she want to be a whore?
But still Lilah didn't want that life for her friend. She couldn't risk it. Besides since she haven't had any experience about this job it would be difficult to handle the men.
Lilah sighed and said "Okay. 10 G's is a lot of money. You can't get it all in a night with a man. This job is risky and highly dangerous and I'm certain you're a virgin which makes this complicated. So, why risk it?"
"Lilah I really need your help. I have just four days to pay off this debt. Please help me out."
Lilah looked at her friend pitiful. With the way she going about it nothing she said or do would change her mind. It seemed her mind had been made up long before she had come over.
"Are you sure you're ready to do this?" Lilah asked. She wanted to make sure she was doing the right thing as a friend. It was obvious Rosary had considered the risk involved.
"I'll help you." she said smiling at Rosary. Her smile was cracked around the edges. Rosary seemed happy as she stood up to give her friend a hug squeezing hard to her bones tightly.
"Thank you so so much Lilah. What would I have done without you?" Rosary said with teary eyes.
Lilah couldn't breath from the suffocating hug Rosary was giving her. "Rosary, I think that's okay before I die from this."
"Oh sorry" she said as she let go with a laugh.
Lilah drew in breaths as she struggled to regain her composure.
"Now that you're one of us, we have to get you clean and looking good for the weathly clients. Are you still sure you're ready?" Lilah hoped patiently that somehow she might have changed her mind. Even having second thoughts was a welcoming scenario. But all she could see in Rosary's eyes was a fierce unshakeable resolve and a glint of excitement.
"Lilah, I've told you. I'm in for this okay?" She answered smiling unfazed. Inside Rosary was a stormy sea. She felt like she was dying and drowning slowly. She knew she had no choice becoming a delivery whore for just that night would pay big compared to others job she could think of. She could easily get any other job if she wanted to but the time she would need to get that amount of cash was essential. Even if she was to work endlessly for a year she still won't be able to recover the money for the debtors.
Although, she would lose her virginity to a complete stranger she knows absolutely nothing about, she was willing to accept that and any risk and do whatever it took.
Her hands clasped tightly on Lilah hands who still seemed so worried about the decision her friend had chosen to take.
"I'll be fine, I promise. I'll do whatever it takes. Just give me this chance." Rosary pleaded.
Lilah knew she might be able to make up the money within four days if she did the job with her all. Rosary was a stunner compared to most of the girls they had on ground. The billionaire men loved to have young girls that are pure but still she was freaking worried because of Rosary's lack of experience and she was still her friend!
She can do it without hesitating for any other girl but not someone who's this close to her. She felt so restless and powerless at the same time.
If she had up to that money she would had given it to her but her hands were tied at the moment. Shit! She felt like she was suffocating! She bit on her lips and looked into Rosary eyes. She looked like she was fully ready for this.
She sighed. "I'll help you get the money within the four day completely. If that what you want but" she paused and lifted her eyes up as her brain worked fast.
"But...what ?" Rosary asked looking worried.
Lilah chuckled when she saw the looks on her friend face.
"There's no but. Just kidding!" She laughed and Rosary pushed off her hands. "You sneaky fiend!" The girls laughed forgetting about their worries.
They looked at the direction of the boy. He had slept off on one of the counter, making the two friends continue laughing.
...............
A black cab parked in front of a luxurious little villa in the estate.
That was Lilah apartment!
Rosary's mind was blown off by the appearance. It looked nothing like their little mini apartment down at the country side.
"Lilah, is this your house?" Rosary asked looking surprised at the fancy Villa.
"Yes, for the meantime. I'm hoping for new changes in my life."
New changes? She said. If Rosary lived in a villa like this one, she would have be grateful. More than grateful in fact.
Rosary stepped down from the cab along with her brother sleeping in her arms. She pushed him up to her shoulder to make him feel more comfortable while Lilah helped pack her belonging and head towards the villa followed as she followed behind.
Lilah click on the door and it opened. Rosary eyes went wide to the immediate view of the interior. It was simply fascinating!
"Lilah!" her mouth dropped wide.
