Loretta

Two months in, and I have gotten used to the rhythm of the club, the heavy bass, the drunken cheers, the smell of sweat mixed with perfume. What I hadn’t gotten used to was how fast nights seemed to disappear. You walked in, changed, painted your face into someone else’s, danced, smiled, collected bills, and before you knew it, it was past two in the morning.

A few weeks since I started at the club, and the shock of being on stage had dulled into something I could handle. I had learned how to move, how to smile at the right moments, and how to collect tips without looking desperate. Some nights were better than others, but I was surviving. I sat in front of the mirror, wiping away my stage makeup with a cotton pad, watching streaks of glitter and foundation smear across my reflection.

My legs sore from the heels, shoulders tight from the hours of moving under hot lights, but it was a good kind of tired. Beside me, Tonia kicked off her heels with a groan. “God, my feet are s

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    YOUR BABIES ARE HERE

    AsherEarlier, as we drove to Loretta’s place, memories kept flashing through my mind. Memories of dropping her off, stealing a kiss in this very car, and picking her up from that same house. Memories that reminded me that Loretta and I were far more than just a boss and secretary, despite what she had claimed.There’s so much more I remember, though my mind still struggles to hold it all. But nothing could have prepared me for the revelation that she had children. She has a man in her life, yet she returned my kiss when I kissed her. The thought made my chest tighten. Part of me wanted to tell her to call her husband or her baby daddy but I stopped myself. I didn’t want to come across as insensitive, or worse, like I had some hidden agenda.As soon as we dropped them off, Richard and I drove straight home in silence. The quiet weighed heavily on me until I finally broke it, my voice sharp with curiosity and suspicion.“What are you hiding from Richard?” I asked. “You know a lot abou

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    DO IT MY WAY

    Loretta “Wait, what did you just say?” Asher stammered, his voice trembling as he tried to process my words. Both he and Richard stared at me, their faces a mixture of shock and disbelief. “You, you have a baby?” Asher asked again, almost as if repeating it slowly would make it more real.“Yes,” I said, my voice breaking as tears started to fall down my cheeks. “Not just one, two. And something is wrong, they are missing.” My words came out in a rush, the panic in my chest making it hard to speak. “My best friend just called me. She said she can’t find them, and the nanny’s phone isn’t going through. She’s looked everywhere, but she can’t find them. I don’t know where they are, and I, I am so scared.”Asher’s eyes widened, and he turned to Richard for confirmation. “You knew about this?” he asked, his voice sharp but filled with confusion. Richard shook his head slowly, looking just as stunned as Asher.I didn’t care right now whether they knew about my babies or not. That wasn’t imp

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    GONE MISSING

    LorettaI could barely focus at work. My mind kept drifting back to Dad. I still hadn’t heard from him, and the worry was eating me alive. Tonia drove me to his place early this morning, and the moment we stepped inside, it became painfully clear he hadn’t been home for a week either.I felt sick, I have two kids depending on me. I can’t afford to hire a private investigator. I was already almost late for work today, and if not for the time, we would have gone straight to the police to report him missing.When I finally got to work, I prayed for a quiet day, the first person I saw outside was Richard. My stomach dropped instantly. God, please, I can’t lose this job.Not now, not with everything else falling apart.“Miss Astor,” he called as I walked toward the mansion. He was standing behind his car, it looked like he had just arrived. “I haven’t heard from you in a while,” he added with that strange smile of his.“I wish it were that simple,” I said. “I haven’t seen Diane. The last t

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    I DON'T REGRET

    LorettaIt’s been two weeks since that incident in Asher’s office, and since then, we barely exchange more than a polite greeting. Everything between us has turned strictly professional, cold, and distant. His grandmother has already flown back to Italy, but not without giving me several sharp warnings to stay far away from her grandson, as if I ever had a choice.These past weeks have been exhausting. One threat after another has been hanging over my head. I still haven’t delivered anything to Diane, and every attempt to record our conversations ends with her dragging my children into it, making it impossible for me to get anything usable. The pressure is suffocating.Asher told me Richard traveled for a business trip, and honestly, that’s the only reason I’m still holding on here. The moment he returns, he plans to expose everything, my secrets, my lies and make sure Asher fires me without hesitation. The thought alone is enough to make my heart race, but there’s nothing else I can

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    SLAMMED THE DOOR

    Loretta I stood in the kitchen, my hands gripping the edge of the counter, staring blankly out of the window. The sunlight streamed in, but it did nothing to lift the heaviness in my chest. Why do I keep falling for him? I asked myself silently, frustration bubbling inside me. Why can’t I resist his touch, his words, the way he looks at me? Just earlier today, I had watched him flirt shamelessly with his physiotherapist, and now, somehow, it was my turn again.This is exactly who Asher Prescott is. A married man who treats women like trophies, like pieces in some game only he can win. He doesn’t love me, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. And yet I let him in every single time. I could feel the sting of my own foolishness, and before I could stop myself, I slapped my hand hard against my cheek. “Loretta,” I muttered to myself, “you should have learned your lesson by now. If you keep letting him, he will only keep using you.”I sighed deeply and turned away from the window, wis

  • The Masked Stripper is my Wife.    CAUGHT IN 4K

    AsherNot long after, a notification flashed on my phone. It was a video but clear enough to show a man I didn’t recognize walking into my compound on the exact day of my accident. I watched as he moved straight to my car, slipped inside, and spent a few minutes doing something I couldn’t make out. Then he stepped back out, walked around the corner of the house, and vanished.He didn’t exit through the gate, he didn’t hesitate. He knew exactly where to go.Whoever he was, he had access to my keys, access to blind spots the cameras couldn’t catch, access that only someone inside the house could have given him.Grandma told me that on that day, the only people home were her, Sarah, Edith, and me. So who would have let this man in? Who trusted him enough or hated me enough to help him? This was no coincidence. This was deliberate, an inside job.“What’s that?” Grandma asked, noticing the look on my face.I locked my phone instantly and forced a calm smile. “Nothing serious. Just a docu
