PREGNANT

I was ashamed of myself for having to have sex for such money but I can’t face my stepmom’s torture or purnishment.

He looked around and said we should have it in his car, so I have a choice? I agreed.

When he wanted to enter me it hurt and that was when he asked if it was my first time.

I nod my head to say yes.

He told me he would be gentle, yes he was gentle but I still felt pain, I never enjoyed the sex because I cried through our sex.

I was hurt inside having sex with a stranger and it was my first sex and it was in a car and I am doing this all because of $70, I felt dirty, I felt like Prostitute at that moment.

He had just one round with me and complained that I didn’t let him enjoy the sex.

He brought out some money from his wallet, he asked me to relax a bit and gave me the sum of $700.

I count the money over and over again and look to his face while he turns on the music by Rihanna in his car.

“ It’s $1000” I said.

“ I know, that’s for you to keep yourself till now as a virgin and don’t do this again, you should be able to use that for something you need for now” he said.

I was happy that I didn’t stop thanking him.

After relaxing, I got out of his car and keep counting the money while he drove off.

I was still counting the money when some guys ran past me they ran back to me and showed me a gun by pulling up their shirt, I opened my eyes wide and began to shiver in fear, they took the money from me and ran away, tears dripped down my face.

I couldn’t go back home with the fear of being punished by my stepmom.

I decided not to go back home, I decided to try and look for a job and maybe I can beg for shelter.

I saw a restaurant, I entered the place and asked for a job.

I was led to the restaurant manager who looked at me from head to toe.

“ You are just the right age that I am looking for, “ she said.

I was so happy and I asked if she would provide me shelter and she told me yes.

“ What’s your name? She asked.

“ Irene James,” I answered.

“ You can call me Claire” she said

She told me she isn’t employing me to work at the restaurant and that she has a better place for me to work.

She was so nice to me that I thought I had found a saviour. I never knew she was going to be the beginning of a new episode of problems in my life.

She fed me, took me shopping but she was the one who chose my type of clothes.

The dresses were just too skimpy and exposing, I don’t know why she got me those dresses until we got to where she was taking me to.

It was when I got there that I know it was a nightclub, when we entered and saw what all the female workers were wearing was when it dawned on me why she had bought me those kind of clothes.

She called a hairdresser to come and help me do my hair. I had so many colours added to my hair and was asked to dress in skimpy dresses. I joined the job and I realised I have to sleep with any man who wishes to have sex with me. I couldn’t do the job and I ran away. Going back to my home was hard because my punishment would be tough because it was almost nightfall.

I became a destitute sleeping around outside stores or outside people’s houses.

I would beg to eat, some passerby will give me some food. This is how I manage my life for three weeks.

I became tired of living my life as a destitute and decided to go back to Claire to start working until I will raise some money and go back to school.

On the day I returned to Claire, I was still begging her when I fainted.

That was all I remembered until I opened my eyes and realised I was in the hospital.

She was seated beside me and holding my hand.

“ Are you alright? She asked.

“ Yes, Thank you “ I replied.

“ The doctor said you are three weeks pregnant,” she said.

“ Excuse me! I asked.

“ Yes, you are three weeks pregnant,” she said.

Tears dripped down my face.

“ No, I don’t want to be a mom now, I don’t want this baby” I said crying.

Claire looked into my eyes and held my hand.

“Calm down,” she says.

“ You don’t understand, “ I said.

“I understand, If you don’t want the baby, I want the baby, be my surrogate for this baby and I will pay you off”she says.

At the sound of money, my face lit up, I know how much I need to live my life and start my life, I want to prove to my stepmom, My dad and my step siblings that I made it without them even though I should be the heiress of my Dad’s business in future.

I know this is one reason my stepmom has found a way I do not have a complete education so that her daughters can inherit all that belongs to my Dad.

I agreed to Claire’s plan, Claire took me home, I met with her husband who agreed that I should have the baby for them.

It was when I started living with them that I realised that they are Mafias and one of the ruthless underworld dons.

Three months later, I went for an ultrasound that showed I was expecting five babies. Claire was happy that she would have five babies at once.

Three months after the ultrasound I began to have the feeling of being a mom. I didn’t want the money anymore but where will I run to with my babies, I can’t possibly raise five kids on my own.

I thought of looking for an orphanage to volunteer to work there, that being a volunteer at the orphanage will help me raise my kids.

I ran away from Claire and found an orphanage to stay but Claire found me, my babies were operated on by me when I fell into labour inside her house.

She let me stay after putting to bed and I began to look for a way to escape with my babies but it wasn’t easy to escape with five kids.
