CHAPTER 5

wake up to find myself in a room with only a bed and a curtain, nothing else. The room is shabby. At first, I thought that I was dead until I noticed someone standing at the end of the window, maybe, he was watching what was going on outside. I don't know what he looks like except his back. that is the only view that I'm seeing. I pretend that I'm still sleeping so that he will not notice that I'm awake. I still want to sleep for at least four hours. My body aches all over, especially from the fresh wound. I don't know what will become of me. I don't want to die. Even if I'm destined to die young, I won't until I bring my father down. until he is on his knees begging me to forgive him. That is my only goal in this life. I will do anything to survive. I will join the Mafia group if they will allow me to.

"I can see that you are awake." shit he sees through my act. I slowly open my eyes as if I'm just waking up.

"it is good that you are awake. My job here is done at last. let me go and report to the boss."

"Please! No! Don't I beg you?"

"I still have to report"

"just not yet please."

"you are not in a place to give me an order."

"Please, it is not an order. let me rest for hours. I badly needed it. I need my strength. You can just stay here and watch me. please just give me some hours."

He looks at me I can see pity on his face. He is a nice person, I can feel it. I don't know why, I just like I can trust him with my life.

"I will give you two hours."

"thank you. Can you tell me where I am?"

"where a minor like you don't belong." he sits down on a chair that I did not notice before, watching me like a hawk. I couldn't sleep. How can I when someone is watching me like as if I will disappear? I lie down there with my eyes closed. calculating what I will do next but no solution. I don't even know what will happen to me. I know that I will not be killed because if they want, I will not be here today. I opened my eyes and looked at the man. I don't know his name so I will call him man.

"Will he let me go?"

"I don't know and it is not my business."

"Please, I know that you are a nice person. Please can you assure me?"

"There is no assurance here. it is either you live or die. Just the two options and if you live, two things are involved. for the boss's pleasure or our pleasure. And if you are good enough you will join us, the bodyguard. But mind you, all the girls that you see here, they are his sex toys before joining the guards. Some who are not strong died of drug abuse."

"drug?"

"yes, they are injected with Aphrodisiacs, cocaine, name them."

"oh my God!!!"

"I have to report to the boss." before I could respond, he made the call.

"Hello, boss. yes, boss. she's awake. ok, boss." How I wish that I could hear what the boss is saying. I couldn't wait for him to end the call.

"Please tell me, am I safe?"

"I have to take you to the girls" his facial expressions. tells me that it is the worst place for me.

"I'm Mimi. please remember me if I die but I want to live."

"Then live. When you gain his trust to join the guards, come and look for me. I am Gregory. someone is coming to get you.

" thank you, Greg."

" it's nothing"

A lady walked in who was almost naked with two hefty bulky men. Without even introducing themselves, I was jacked out from the bed like a piece of rag without even minding my injuries. I groaned in pain.

''she is human''

''like I care dude So just mind your fucking business!!''

I was dragged out of the room by one of the hefty men to an unknown destination. from stairs to an elevator without even minding that the person they are dragging is wounded and the guy is even holding me on one of the wounds. at last, we arrived in front of a huge giant door with tight security. the door was opened by one of the scary men with tattoos all over his body. I was still looking around the office when one of them pushed me to a kneeling position which made me groan in pain. I know the wound that I got from the bullet will be opened by now. I look at the guy whom I believe was the one who pushed me with so much detest.

"she is here boss." That is one I noticed the man sitting on one of the expensive chairs in the office. He looked as if he ruled the whole world. Ok, he rules his world because this is another world from ours.

"What is your name?" I don't know what they will do to me so I need to be good

"Mimi Brian."

"Age?"

"Fifteen."

"Fifteen? What about your parents?"

"Mom is gone so I have no one."

"Father?"

"Long story but see that is not my problem. Are you going to kill me? I'm also a victim you know? I was raped, beaten, and dumped there to die. I did not decide by myself to go there and play where you guys are killing each other.

" that is the problem you know shit that you don't suppose to know or see."

"just let me go, please. No one will know. I don't even know you even though I do but I have no one to talk to. It is me against the world. Please. I don't want to die. I have a mission to fulfil."

"What mission?"

"my father is Edward Brian." Not wanting to continue the story I stop there. I don't know him so I can not tell him my life story.

"I don't care what your story is. I don't give a damn about it. You are mine now. leaving this place only means death." that is it. I don't know what kind of life I lived in my first life that made this life miserable for me. So according to Greg, I will be one of his whore. Can life get any better?

"take her to the pleasure house. No one should touch her until I'm done with her."

"yes, boss."

I don't know what to feel. Happy that I'm still alive or sad that am being turned into a prostitute at fifteen. Mom, please I don't want this life. I don't think that I will make it alive. If I had known, I could have avoided those couples but I did not do anything wrong I was just looking for something to eat. I only wanted to survive now here I am. I was hauled to a particular building excluded from the main building. The site I saw was despicable as I was pushed from one room to another. There was no bright light there but red lights all over the place no doors nothing just transparent curtains. ladies older and younger than me all over the rooms with clothes barely on them some are lying down naked and lifeless as if they are dead. Some moulded themselves by the corner of their rooms silently as if not to be seen. Some were weeping and some were being used by the men as if they were not human. truly, things have fallen apart for me. I began to sob. If I should survive and leave this place, I will first kill the boss and save those girls, and I will make sure that all those men rot in jail. All of them before facing my father. This is my new plan. come rain or sunshine, I will fulfil it.
