Chapter 4
Lily Pov
“I told you not to go to her house anymore, I told you already, that woman will keep disgracing us and I don’t want that”Dad yelled at me trying so hard not to break down and I sniffed.
“I was left with no choice Dad, I don’t want to become a slave to that monster, I don’t want him to hurt me”
“I don’t want to have anything to do with Maura again, She really hurt me two years ago by leaving me all to myself, I don’t want to have anything to do with her anymore”
“I knew that Dad, I also didn’t want to have anything to do with her, but we are left with no choice Dad”
“Why am I so unfortunate? Why have I been so useless all my life?, Here I am watching my child about to be carted away as a slave without me doing nothing, Why is everything keep falling apart from me?”Dad cried out with tears stung in his eyes and I burst into tears, I walk to him immediately amd pull him into a hug,
“You aren’t misfortune Dad, trust me, you are not”I assure him and she smiled sadly.
“I’m misfortune, if not, then why is this happening to me?”
“Don’t worry Dad, things will be fine”Jason assure him and he nodded.
The Next day…
I prepared the breakfast and saw Dad off as usual before changing into another dress.
After that, I went to the street to gather money for Lucian debt.
“I’m sorry Lily, I won’t be able to borrow you the money, things has not be moving well for me this days”
“Oh… poor Lily, I’m so sorry, I don’t have much on me right now”
“Please come back some other time”
That’s all what the people I went to borrow money from keep repeating every time I went to them.
At the end of the day, I wasn’t able to gather any money for the debt, I went home disappointed as usual.
The Next day…
Our home was as silent as grave yard, everyone of us stayed in his/her room not bothering to go out.
We were grieving in our own thoughts, expecting the unexpected to happen.
And slowly, the time crawl to 7 am, I heard a knock at the door and my heart thump heavily.
I rush out of the room and surprisingly, I met Dad and Jason out of their room as well.
We both walk to the living room and Jason went ahead to open the door, Three men dressed in black entered the room with a straight face.
“Good morning”Dad greeted trembling they ignored his greeting .
“Where’s the collateral, Lucian demands your presence in his mansion immediately”He demanded and I jump onto Dad immediately for protection.
God!
I don’t want them to take me away.
“Please don’t take my daughter away, I promise to pay the debt as soon as possible, Please help me beg him”Dad pleaded and one of them scoff.
“It seems you don’t know whom we are talking about, we are talking about Lucian here”
“I knew but…”
“I said where’s the collateral before we raze down this house”He yelled at us and I quickly entangle myself away from Dad, I walk to them levelly and in a swift motion, one of them threw me on his shoulders and carried me out of the house immediately.
Becky Pov
“Sir, about the girl our boys went to bring down here, I sent her pictures already to our private blog and one of the ministers demands her as her private sex worker”I explained calmly to him and his eyes flashed in anger as soon as I uttered the last statement.
“And who gave you the permission to upload the pictures in the private blog, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m so sorry sir, but that’s according to our protocols when we are about to have a new slave”
“As soon as you leave this place, I want you to delete all her pictures in the blog, I want the lady to myself”
“Sir”I blinked rapidly in shock.
Lucian has never been interested in slaves, he uses ladies of higher class as his sex worker and he have only one which is Bethany.
“But…”
“No buts Becky, Just do as I instructed, Immediately the boys arrive, bring the girl to me”
“Okay sir”I bowed not leaving his presence.
“I’ll like to call it a day”
“Okay sir”I said grudgingly and exit the room.
God!
I can’t believe he will choose that dirty thing over Bethany, why can’t he choose me as his sex worker instead of choosing that girl?
I don’t know why Lucian behaves like this!
Gosh!, I think I have to report to Bethany first before deleting the pictures.
Lily
I couldn’t help but cry seeing Dad with Jason I’m tears as they watch me being carted away.
Dad is the most grievous, he stood there transfixed and terribly shaking until the car drove out the compound.
I lean to the window and burst into tears with pains in my heart, I just couldn’t hear it any longer, the guards watch me with keen interest and they couldn’t help but pity me.
“Young lady, you have to stop crying, you’re not the only one in they car”The list grumpy one among the guards said slightly peeved at me and I smile sadly.
“I’m so sorry sir”I apologized cleaning my tears which continue to fall, I just couldn’t help it, I can’t.
After a long drive, we finally got to the ineffable mansion and I was wowed at the largeness.
The place is so big and beautiful, I just couldn’t help but wowed at the sight of everything.
They were all in gold.
WOW!
This guy must be quite rich.
After the driver parked well, o step down the car and one of the guards grab my hand and led me into the mansion.
A gaps escape my lips when my eyes landed on the gold table in the living room.
I was wowed at the sight of everything, This place is just so beautiful.
He stopped abruptly in front of another guard roaming around the room.
“Is the boss in?”
“Yeah he said…”
“Are you guys back already?”A young lady said walking towards us.
Her long blue hair bouncing behind her as she walk towards us.
She look so beautiful and classy.
“oh oh… She’s finally here, you guys weren’t able to pay the money right?”She asked with a hint of anger in her voice and I nodded.
“Since you’re not able to pay the money, I hope you’re ready to face the consequences”
“Consequences??, What…”
“I am not the one to explain all that to you, let’s go to him”
