Chapter: It Felt Like Pain Clara’s POVI remained quiet. Nobody wanted to answer any of my questions. After a few minutes of driving, we pulled up in front of a luxurious mansion. The gates opened automatically, and the car rolled inside. My confusion deepened. If we were going to see the boss, wasn’t this supposed to happen at the strip club?This mansion looked more like a government official’s residence—or maybe even the White House. It was unreal, the design was top notch and the cars parked at the garage made me wonder if this is a place where luxurious cars are sold, the cars are more than twenty, and each of those cars, if I am to do the math correctly, could cost more than fifty thousand dollars each. I stared around, and my mind was clouded with astonishment, I haven't seen anything this perfect and luxurious in my entire life. I didn't even know a place like this could exist here in this city. it totally felt like heaven, a paradise, a dream I could never reach. I began getting nervous not because of

Chapter: Sooner Or Later Clara’s POVI flinched as the slap landed hard on my ass, his grip tightened strongly making me wince in pain. It felt like a bolt of electricity struck me or perhaps a lightning bolt, because the shock was so painful making me wonder if my skin had been peeled off.I moved my hips slowly, reluctantly, as my hands rested on either side of the sofa. My waist swayed, and he let out a breathy gasp.“Ooh.. yeah… that’s it… that’s what I want. You’re good at this,” he grumbled in satisfaction, his head resting on the leather sofa, and his both hands holding my waist softly.But I wasn’t satisfied. Inside, I was burning with anger. The only thing I could think of was ending this hell—ending everything I was doing here. I wasn't comfortable, I was in fear, my body trembled, I was wrestling with an anxiety that's already tearing me from the inside. He grabbed my ass and squeezed it more, gently raising my skirt. I pushed his hands away. I wasn’t a harlot. I was a stripper he forced me to be—

Chapter: Stripping In Private Clara’s POVI walked into the room meant for the strippers and began getting myself ready, changing into sexy dresses that exposed my body more. Tonight is another chance to make another attractive move, creating a better performance that would definitely make my viewers spend even more money on me than before. I can't wait to get over this lifestyle of being a stripper, I had never chose to be like this, I chose to be something better and productive, so I was ready to give out all my best, pouring a fake passion I had to generate that could make my performance more interesting—I wasn't going to slack.A few minutes passed, and it was almost my turn to go on stage. Just as I was about to step out, Derick’s voice echoed behind me.“Hold on a bit—I want to have a word with you.”I turned to him and nodded slowly, still puzzled as to what he wanted to say to me.“The boss wants to see you,” Derick said. I froze, it was as if a shock wave was beneath my skin, threatening to split it way

Chapter: A Night That Was Never Mine Clara's POVI stared at Derick as he walked out the door, and deep inside me, I knew what he said was right. I was indeed a slave, bound to this club to work forever—until I succumbed to death itself. I felt pain, and betrayed. If I had seen what was coming, I wouldn't have gotten into a relationship with Alaric, that later ended up as a nightmare to my life. I feel am not normal anymore, I felt like I was in a cage I can't run out from. I was an orphan, raised without a father or mother. I grew up in an orphanage and eventually went to college. After graduating, I worked at a restaurant, leaving my peaceful life with my little earnings, and that was when I met Alaric—the man who had caused the pain I was drowning in now. We made love, and I never imagined he could be so heartless, to betray me in such a gruesome way. I once suggested finding a high-paying job to help repay the debt faster, but the crime boss Alaric borrowed the money from refused. I was informed that my jackass boy

Chapter: Stuck In A DebtClara’s POV I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply into the warm breeze, mixed with the reek of alcohol. I knew it wasn't my first time strip dancing. I felt my legs heavy, already going numb. I had stripped dance multiple times and had tried to perfect all the moves, pushing myself further to practice ballet so I could be more flexible when dancing on the pole. And yet, I felt I wasn't ready for the performance tonight. Tonight was another session where I would strip dance half-naked in front of men old enough to be my father. It was my job—a responsibility I had to abide by—or else I would face consequences that could lead to death itself. Months back, I was deceived, betrayed, and used by my boyfriend, which later got me into this mess—to work as a stripper in order to pay back a debt I knew nothing of. Alaric, my boyfriend, borrowed a huge sum of money from a crime boss, and now I was the repayment. If I failed to do as the boss said, I would face brutal consequences. Thou

Chapter: Two Thinking Sides Laura's POV "Ain't you the one who was complaining of pain in your ankle and waist, claiming you couldn't walk by yourself?" I asked. Jessica went to her mirror, then sat, looking for some cosmetics to dress her face."Yes, of course, I was the one complaining of all those things," she replied, then scoffed, shifting her gaze to me as she added, "Don't you believe in miracles?""I believe in miracles, but not in your case, you actually blindfolded me," I replied, my voice slightly raised, then sighed."Well, I want to be blunt to you now. I wasn't having any pain in my leg that could make walking difficult for me," Jessica finally confessed."Hold a minute, so all this while you could walk properly but decided to stress me?" I replied with disbelief.Jessica began laughing, and I was already getting infuriated. She had played me, played me in a way I didn't see coming. She just wanted me to spend time with her. She could have just said it bluntly to me before now, though I wouldn't

Chapter: Feeling Forced To CareLaura's POV “No, it's nothing, can you give me some minutes? I want to reply to a text message.” I replied to Jessica, pushing a smile off my lips. I wasn't intend to let her know that it was Caspian who had sent me the message I was about to reply. I'm trying to keep the conversation secret. “What’s wrong with Caspian? He didn’t even bother asking me the reasons why I hadn't come home early today, nor showing any care to asked if something had happened, all he could do was tell me some bullshit talk of him having good news for me. I just hope this news is worth calming me down for the anger boiling inside of me,” I pondered in thought, I felt like exploding. As thoughts of Caspian nonchalant attitude surged more into me, I couldn't control my Dismay and before I knew it, my face began fuming, it was starting to become obvious that I was angry and as soon as I remember I wasn't alone, and my fuming face could attract questions from Jessica which I was trying my possible best to avo

Chapter: Everything Now In The PastLaura's POV Jessica’s hands pushed forward toward my cheek, then she raised my head upwards over her sharp stare, “Everything will be fine, everyone makes mistakes, and I promise you that this isn’t a problem to get yourself disturbed about. You are still married to Caspian; nothing had changed that, so let life keep pushing.”“Yeah, I know, and thanks for the advice,” I replied to Jessica, my head down.“I’m happy you have forgiven me, Laura. At least we could bring back old memories together,” Jessica said, smiling.“Yeah, sure, the old time memories will always ignite, and our friendship will never fail,” I replied to Jessica, and then we hugged each other.Within some hours, it was already night, and Jessica was still feeling some pain in her leg.

Chapter: Cooking Rubbish Laura's POV I picked up the knife, then began sliding on the vegetables, completely puzzled on what to do next.“I think the best way of doing this is to try and follow the steps by step process of making the food online,” I thought to myself, sighing in frustration, then went back into the living room and picked up my phone. Jessica was just seated, staring at the television, while she ate some snacks"Do you want to make some calls?" Jessica asked after seeing me picking my phone from my bag."No, I just want to play some music while cooking, it's fun to listen to music while cooking rubbish," I replied, sneering. Jessica scoffed at my replies then continued what she was watching.I went back to the kitchen, and went through the internet, and just immediately, I saw the video I was looking for. I reacted excitedly."Yes, that's it, let's see how I would make the impossible possible."I picked up my knife, following all the process on the video, and within some minutes, I was done w

Chapter: MemoriesLaura's POV We both walked out of the hospital, and so I waved a taxi, the taxi stopped and then we got inside. The taxi man drove off and after ten to six minutes we reached Jessica's house. I assisted Jessica down from the car because she complained of her having pain in her knees, probably due to the way she fell to the ground when the car brushed her to the side."Sorry, Jessica, we are already home, just a few steps and we would be inside," I encouraged with a grin, making her endure the pain. my hands gripping Jessica's waist as I gently walked her into her house.I sat Jessica on the chair, a soft sofa having a stylish weaving at the side of it's handle."Would you like to drink any water?"

I don't feel like taking any water for now," Jessica replied, pushing a smile off her lips."What I need now is food," she added."Food... Okay, I will go get you some food i

Chapter: Someone To Check Laura's POV "Ooh sorry for squeezing you hard, i was lost in surprise that's why,” I apologized immediately as my hands let go of Michaela arms.“Please can you explain what happened,” I demanded, my fingers intertwined with my other fingers as I became more curious, my face fearful. “Wow, your strength is astonishing, you wanted squeezing me like a meatball,” Michaela said with a nervous laugh, and just as she was about to continue her words without telling me what I had demanded, trying to waste my time, because of this I snapped. “Can you please get to the point and talk already?”I could see how Michaela flinched by the impact of my voice, it was as if she wanted to levitate in fear.“Yes, yes,” Michaela quickly replied then continued after a deep breath. “It all happened in a flash, I was there when the accident happened, it was immediately you left that a bus ran into her.”My eyes widen in disbelief, I could remember when I ghosted Jessica when she tried apologizing to me.
