BETRAYAL

chapter 4

I walked towards the main door and it was raining. "Take this, you might need it," he said as heed me a red hoodie." Thanks" I said avoiding eye contact.

In a few minutes, I saw madam Judy approaching us. " Hello sir, I hope you had a nice time," she said smiling at him. " oh yes I had the best time, I don't remember the last time I felt so good," he said looking at me.

"Oh nice, am glad you enjoyed it, " madam Judy said excitedly." I believe you both are tired" she added, I looked at her and rolled my eyes. My whole body was in pain. I couldn't even walk properly. I was burning down there. " Yes you may leave now, am looking forward to having more nights with you, "he said kissing my cheek. "now I see how much you enjoyed her company " they both laughed.

I walked slowly, before I could get in the car, Kyla alighted from the car and blindfolded me.

"Am sorry you have to go through this I wish I could help," she said softly." We can escape Kyla, both of us, and seek help from the police. we help the other ladies " I said holding Kyla's hand.

" Jenny we can't, it's very risky. We can never hide from them, we might be killed "she said." We can try right?" I said in a convincing and shaky tone.

"there she's coming, we can talk about this later," she said helped me get in the car. madam Judy joined us and we left.

On our way, she was talking too much. I was too tired, angry, and hurt to listen to her bullshit.

We arrived and Kyla took me to my room. "You should rest now. You might have some other clients tomorrow", she said as she untied the blindfold." I will bring you food" she said as she opened the door.

It has I was too tired to even change. I lay on my bed and slept almost immediately.

"Jenny! Jenny!" I heard someone calling me while tapping my shoulder so hard. I opened my eyes and found Kyla standing beside the bed looking worried.

"W.. What's wrong?" I asked her confused. "Gosh, Jenny I was damn worried. I just left a few minutes ago only to find you unconscious here" she said trying to calm down.

"But I was just asleep not dead, "I said. " but I wish I was dead," I said to myself in a low tone. "Well, Jenny.. am so sorry about what you are going through. if only I could help. but for now, I can't. My hands are tied and I need this job. I know you know how life is out there "she said trying to hold my hand. I stood up and left to my small table at the corner of the room. I was famished but I had no appetite. " please Kyla, lets me escape" if you can't please help me escape, I will come for you and we'll be free, I will try my best to help you all." I tried to convince her. "Jenny I can't, if I had an option I wouldn't be here too, she said.

"Yes you can Kyla, can we try please?" Kyla had an opportunity of helping me but she wouldn't." I thought I can trust you, but it's you are one of them" I said in anger and frustration."Lock the door on your way out," I said angrily without looking at her." Jen... "She tried to talk to me, "I said leave!!" I yelled at her, she immediately left and locked the door. I knelt on the floor hopelessly as I felt a deep gut. "God, why does this have to happen to me? "I asked crying my lungs out, I was in so much pain, bitterness and anger. Should I say that I was also mad at God? I mean how could he allow it to happen to me. He says He is all-knowing and has good plans for us, but why would He allow this shit to happen. Selling my body at the age of 16 and I know He knew it before I was born. I was once a devoted young girl who loved to sing. I was the Christian union representative and I was so dedicated to serving God but he saw it fit for me to end up like this? My faith in God and His existence made no sense.

I cried myself to sleep.

"Hey young lady wakes up we don't have all day" I heard madam Judy yell from afar. I was still sleepy and tired. I woke up and realized I was still on the floor. "We expected you to be up by 8 am. You know the rules, don't you?? It's now 10 am and you're still sleeping. You didn't come here to sleep " madam Judy yelled. "Sorry" I half-whispered "I expect you to be done in 10 minutes" she added. I hurried to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

"Oh you're done, so fast," Kyla said smiling at me but I looked at her blankly as I dressed then I sat on the dressing table ready for my make-up. Lisa assisted me in applying my makeup, she then handed me a simple white, short dress with slits on both sides. I wore it and it perfectly revealed my curves." Perfect" Kyla said. "You look stunning" Lisa added. She then handed me some blue high heels" I don't like this color" I said in disgust. "It's not what you like but what our clients want to see, "Kyla said heading to where my breakfast was. "You have to eat fast before madam Judy comes or else you'll go hungry. about last night, you try to escape first, I spill the beans "she added. "Am not hungry, and yes I was not into escaping " I scoffed staring at myself in the mirror. I couldn't help but smile. A smile of hope…
