Chapter: Chapter 5ENEMIES.Layla's POV.I woke up to a beeping sound and glanced around, confused and lost.'Where was I?' I pondered as I tried to sit up but my head began to ache badly, as if a hammer was being hit on it.I struggled to open my eyes completely as I glanced around, realizing I was in an hospital ward.How did I get in here?Just then, memories of the previous day rushed back to my mind and I froze, my hands trembling in my laps as I remembered that, the doctor had called to inform, that my dad had died, because I didn't bring the surgery money on time.My heart clenched tightly against my chest as I began to struggle to breathe.'No, no. Not my dad.' The tears stung my eyes heavily, rolling down my cheeks before I could stop them.Just then, the door burst open and the doctor walked in, while writing on his notepad."Oh! You are awake, miss. Thank God, the man outside has been so worried and paranoid because you refused to wake up." The doctor told me and I froze.The man outside? Wha

Chapter: Chapter 4PLEASURE.Layla's POV.He suddenly raised his head to look into my eyes and I could see him very clearly now, as I ran my hands into his curly, dark hair.He looked really familiar, like I had seen him before but where? Or was I mistaking him for someone else?"You are so beautiful, too beautiful. I hope you know that?" He suddenly said as he placed a finger on my bottom lip.I felt something whirling in my stomach as my heart melted. I opened my mouth and bit down on his finger gently and he chuckled.I laughed with him, feeling relieved and I had no idea why, perhaps it was the alcohol I sneaked away from Scarlett to drink earlier, so I wouldn't lose my nerves.Perhaps it was already working."So cute, with those cheeks I wanna bite." He continued as he pulled at my cheeks gently with both hands and I giggled, feeling kinda ticklish as his hands trailed down to my neck."Your laugh and smile are so adorable too. You should do them more." He continued and I smiled.He wasn't bad like

Chapter: Chapter 3TO DO THIS.Layla's POV.It was 8pm in the night when we all got ready to storm whatever party was going on at Whitmore's hotel, one of the best in the country, New York.I was trying not to tremble as I walked behind Madam Alena, who was leading me to the supposed client's room.Scarlett had already gone to meet the client she was assigned to.We got in front of a room with golden designs on the door and stopped as Madam Alena turned to face me."Are you a virgin?" She asked and a huge lump formed in my throat as I nodded."Yes I am." I answered and she took in a deep breath."Wow! Are you sure you will be able to do this?" Her voice came out sharp, her expression stern and I knew right there, that she wanted an assurance I wouldn't mess up her business."Yes. Scarlett already taught me some tips." I lied, well not exactly because Scarlett did tell me tips, but not for how to please a client but for how to run, if there was any sign of danger."Good. Don't disappoint and this client

Chapter: Chapter 2I NEED YOUR HELP.Layla's POV.The doctor suddenly paused and I held my breath, my stomach dropping as my palms grew sweaty.What did he want to say? I hope nothing had happened to father.I could almost hear my heart pounding heavily against my chest."I don't think your father's surgery can wait till 24 hours anymore. We barely have 12 hours left now." He told me as my hand holding the phone, began to shake but at the same time, I let out a sigh of relief.It wasn't as bad as i thought."It's getting late now so at least, by morning. You should have the funds ready." The doctor warned before ending the call, while I stood there, trying to think fast.It still hurts seeing my boyfriend and best friend mashed together in a sheet and then realizing that, all these while, I was actually being used but all that matter, didn't matter right now.My dad was more important so I left Jeremy's apartment, ignoring all the sarcastic comments and ache in my heart.'I should be fine once Dad has g

Chapter: Chapter 1UNEXPECTED SITUATION.Layla's POV."He will die, if the treatment doesn't commence soon." The doctor told me as sympathy flashed in his eyes, while I gulped down the saliva that gathered in my mouth, as I tried not to tremble."I know, doctor but I don't have what you are asking, can you please help, then I repay in installments?" I asked as I interlocked my hands in front of him, in a pleading manner.The doctor looked as if he was taking a deep breath, before shaking his head sideways."I am so sorry, miss, but if you want your dad to be saved, then you have to make all necessary payments. That's the office protocol." The doctor told me as he placed a hand on my shoulder, before turning around to leave.I stood there, my legs wobbling as I tried to breathe while his words sank into my brain.My dad, the only one I had left, was going to die if I did not get the money meant for his surgeries, because of some hospital protocol?So now, money is more important than life?My heart tight
