CHAPTER 6CHLOE’S POV The moment my foot stepped out of the mansion, I ran. I didn’t stop. I just kept running and running.After a moment, I bent over, clutching my chest as I tried to catch my breath.“No… no… no…”This can’t be what I’m thinking.“Sebastian Whitmore?” Xavier’s father?No, this must be a dream. It can’t be true.I stood in the middle of the road, confused and questioning myself.“What have I done?”“No. No!”He didn’t recognize me. No, Chloe, calm down.Take a deep breath, then move slowly.I said as I tried calming myself down. But nothing changed. I kept whispering words filled with regret.“No,it can’t be”I dragged my fingers through my hair in frustration, pulling at it as panic filled my chest.Then I ran back home in frustration.The moment I reached the entrance of my house, I started banging the door in fear, like someone was chasing me.“Open the door!” I shouted, tears streaming down my face.It was just 3 a.m. The sun wasn’t even thinking of rising yet.

CHAPTER 5CHLOE’S POVImmediately I got back from school, Vanezza called me and said she needed to talk to me.“Chloe, I have something to say to you.”“Okay, what is it? I’m all ears,” I replied. She hesitated for a moment before speaking again.“Don’t you think… having a thing with the VIPs will be a great idea? I mean, it will bring a lot of money. For me… for you… for the house. We won’t have to struggle anymore. What do you think? I’ve been thinking about it for a while, so I decided to tell you.”My expression hardened immediately.“Oh, no. You should have kept that to yourself,” I replied bluntly. “Mr. Sebastian is the first and the last person I ever vowed to do that with. I will never do it again!. What has come over you? Huh? Isn’t the stripping job enough for us?”My voice rose with anger.Without waiting for her reply, I walked straight into the restroom and slammed the door behind me.The moment I locked it, my tears burst out.I cried quietly, remembering everything tha

CHAPTER 4CHLOE’S POVThe next morning, after the whole shock about the money, Vanezza and I spent some time planning on how I was going to spend it.I woke up early, got dressed for school, and took a few bundles of cash from the bag before leaving the room. For the first time in a long while, I felt a small sense of relief.I could finally pay my tuition in the first week of resumption.This was something I had never experienced before , i had always been the last person in my department to pay my tuition. Sometimes I even had to beg for more time.But this time, I cleared everything.Every last bit of it.After the stressful night, I finally made my way to school.It was the beginning of a new session. Students were everywhere, laughing, greeting each other, and looking refreshed.Almost every face looked bright and well-rested,except mine.Mine looked tired and overworked.We had our first class for the session, and everything was going smoothly until my eyes started getting heav

CHAPTER 3CHLOE’S POV“VANEZZA! VANEZZA!”The moment I pushed the door open, the words burst out of me.My mind was overflowing with things I needed to say. Thoughts, fear, excitement, guilt and everything was tangled inside my chest.“VANEZZA!”She jerked awake like someone had just set off an alarm.“Yes?! Yes?! What happened?”She sat up quickly, looking around the room like someone was chasing us.I quickly grabbed her shoulders.“Calm down. Calm down.”I patted her arm as she tried to steady her breathing.“It’s nothing.”She yawned loudly, clearly annoyed, and tried to lie back down.“Don’t sleep.”“Vanezza!”I quickly opened my bag and pulled out the bundles of cash.“This is money! This is money!!”I spread the bundles across the bed. She rubbed her eyes slowly, still half asleep, trying to focus.Then she froze.Her eyes widened.“Huh?”She picked up one bundle.“Where did you get all this from?” She started counting quickly, her shock growing with every bundle.“This can’t b

CHAPTER 2CHLOE’S POVMy fingers lingered at the hem of my dress. For a minute, guilt washed over me again.Not loud not dramatic.Just quiet.My heart felt heavy.The kind that creeps in when the room gets silent.My chest tightened, why was I hesitating?Was I supposed to suffer day and night instead?Was I supposed to sit back and wait for someone to save me?I had no helpers.No one paying my bills, no one checking if I ate. I was on my own.Survival doesn’t come with pride,it comes with choices. And this was one of them.“Come on,” he said impatiently. “Pull it off.”He stepped closer, his eyes traveling slowly over my body like he was already unwrapping me.His fingers reached for the strap of my dress.“Nah, I can do it myself,” I said quickly, gently removing his hand.He paused for a while,then his expression hardened.“Then be fast about it.” His tone changed, it was sharper now.“Why are you acting sluggish like you’re doing me a favor?” he continued. “You don’t need the

CHAPTER 1CHLOE’S POVThe music was loud enough to drown guilt.The lights were bright enough to hide shame.But nothing could hide the way he was watching me.“Hey, girl. That man over there calls for you.”The club worker pointed toward the VIP section, where the real money sat in leather chairs and expensive suits.I took a slow sip of my drink before turning.“Me?”“Yes. You.”My stomach tightened. It was my first time being called to the VIP section. Curiosity pushed me forward before fear could stop me.When I reached the table, I saw him.He was older, much older. Thick gold watch, Heavy rings. The kind of man who didn’t need to raise his voice to be obeyed.“Hey, baby girl,” he said, gripping my waist and pulling me closer.My breath caught for a second, but I didn’t pull away.I had learned not to.Everything about him screamed money. The watch,the rings. Even the way he sat felt expensive.Being called to his table wasn’t just attention, it was opportunity.I wasn’t stupid
