2. Mother

I totally forgot about my mother. Yesterday was the day she got discharged and I made my way to Sam who is clearly a stranger to me.

Noah got out of bed immediately and took a shower. His mother is with her older sister taking care of her.

When Noah arrived at his aunt's house his 4 cousins welcome him and guide him to his mother's room.

"Mom"

"Hey, I thought you're still mad at me and don't want to visit me" jokingly said

"I am but you're still my mother," he said coldly

His mother just smiled sadly and let out a silent sigh

"Do you want anything?" his mother asked

"No, I'm just checking on you. I should get going while your sister is not here."

"Yeah. You can visit me anytime you want though. Just let me know so I can prepare something for you"

Noah nodded and made his way out but unfortunately, his aunt just arrived home

"Oh look who's here. Did you visit your mother? You know, I'm taking care of her and we're not rich like you guys so I'm just saying if you have a consci- "before his aunt finish her sentence Noah interrupted her.

"I had already calculated all of her expenses. I also included your service, and I gave you the appropriate amount based on what my bodyguards and I observed. So you don't have to be concerned about my mother's finances because I will take care of it."

Noah went back to his mother's room

"Mom, you know you can stay at my house."

"I don't want to bother you"

"You are not bothering me"

"I know, but I will just distract you from your work. I know that you're still mad at me for what I did and I don't know if I can live with you with this guilt"

"Mom, you can just make up on it. You're just making it worse for me"

His mother didn't answer and looked away. Noah stormed out of the house frustrated.

He is mad at his mom but he still loves her. He just wanted her to make up on him. Like any mother would.

His father had another woman and died in a car accident with that woman, his mother started drinking alcohol after that and Noah was at age of six. His mother would drink until she was drunk enough to slap Noah because he reminded her of his father. She would slap Noah, hit him, and even locked him up in his room for days.

It is the sole reason why Noah started a business with his best friend, Lucas. Noah worked day and night for his dream and even got sick most of the time while still dealing with his mother's lunacy.

Sam did not sleep overnight waiting for Noah to come back. He was on alert as if his master would come any minute.

He grew up with his mother selling him to different people. It started when he was 10. A guy in his suit came into their house talking to his mother. After a while, his mother introduced him and said the guy will be his daddy for a while.

"You can ask me anything you want" as a child who grew up with no dad was delighted to hear those words.

They went shopping for new clothes and toys, and they ate at a fancy restaurant. However, the man did not take him home to his mother, but rather to the man's residence.

"You can live here for a week and make daddy happy" Sam was clueless but he agreed.

Later that night, when Sam was sleeping the guy touched him. He protests at the guy, fighting, yet the guy still forced him to do it.

The guy kissed him while his hands are roaming around his thighs. Sam was shaking like a leaf yet the guy still continued on his way.

For a whole week, Sam was in dazed. He was like a doll being raped and wasn't even moving an inch, unable to think properly.

The guy escort him to his home and gave money to his mother.

"Till we meet again sweetheart," the guy said as he strokes Sam's hair.

Sam told her mother what the so-called "Daddy" did to him. But his mother knew that.

"We can make a fortune off of this, son. Look at this money, we can now buy anything we never thought we could. All you have to do is do what they tell you to do."

Sam thought "they"? He tried to escape but there are nowhere to go. Her mother always catches and chained him up in his room.

Every week there are different people. Women or men, they all do what they want to Sam.

Some tortured him with their fetish, never cared for him, and he was just there, waiting for their order till he went insane. What his mother told him to hurt him the most. "We could have more customers and more money if you were just a girl."

His mother put him in a hospital and just left him there now that he's no use. In Sam's mind, there is another customer in that place.

When Noah tried to help him, he thought "He's the new customer". And so when Noah let him borrow his phone, he was overjoyed because no customer did that to him.

He panicked when nurses tried to get the phone away. "What if he comes back and the phone is not with me," he thought. And he started to overthink things and start being aggressive. He was scared of what the "new customer" might do to him.

He was relieved when Noah did not do anything but his body is always on alert. Like it was a natural thing to do whenever there is a customer.

He stayed up all night to wait for Noah, he was afraid that if he sleeps, Noah will get furious and hit him while doing it.

That's what he thought, however, the sun rises, and still no sign of his customer, Noah.
