‎Bright illuminative lights reflected on the stage as the crowd yelled and screamed with every changing light.

‎Blue,green, red , yellow...all reflected on the glass I was holding as the floor vibrated in sync with the speakers blasting music.

‎Friday nights are usually the busiest because people are starting their weekend off. So, all the men you could think of cowered at the stage gawking as the girls moved sultry.

‎"All you Gentlemen....." The announcer's voice echoed through the speakers "let's give it up for ja.....ja....ja..... Jazmine!!!!!!!" The crowd went insane as my eyes lifted staring into the dark corner of the stage.

‎I and every one watched in anticipation as the stage graced a woman all masked up living little to the imagination well that except her face.

‎She was the club's favorite.

‎ I watched as the men threw cash on the stage some sticking it into the side of her panties while some into her bra.

‎She was dancing on the podium and her body moved in sync never missing a beat. He long brown hair covered her face as she twisted her body to the side.

‎ I guess that was what attracted me to her. Her flexibility.

‎ The men seemed to move  closer mesmerized by her subtle  touch. With a smile on her face and seduction laced with every touch, she brushed against their faces with her fingers which brought more cheers. They wanted her close but she never went close that was the rule.

‎ I sat up as her number came to an end. Motioning for my guard, he came to my side immediately.

‎"Sir"

‎I nodded towards the retreating figure of Jazz glad he got the message. He scurried off leaving me with my eyes still glued to her figure lingering within the light.

‎Their conversation didn't take time as I watched her turn towards me then begin to walk in my direction. A bile rose to my throat as she got closer.

‎Why the hell was i nervous?

‎"Oh Mr Emilio it's always a pleasure to see you here" a silky Jersey voice trailed behind me as I sipped my whiskey my eyes never leaving her. I didn't have to look to know who it was.

‎"Madame Ron" my eyes still glued to the scene unfolding below me.

‎"Sir....." She trailed her fingers around my collar "heard you requested Jazmine's service"

‎"Is there a problem?" I raised a brow.

‎"No of course not just shocked to think that you sir have taken a liking to my girl Jazmine" she smiled.

‎"Liking?" I chuckled as I sat up straight "that's what you call your services these days?"

‎"Oh Mr Emilio you never change" she laughed "anyways.... She's waiting in the back...." Madam Ron's sweet smell hit my nose suddenly which made me flinch a little, as she bent so close her bosom was resting perfectly on my shoulders.

‎"Sir there's a problem" my guard cut her off as he came running in

‎"And what may that be?"

‎"A man is trying to cause a scene downstairs"

‎"Go on"

‎"He ran out of cash but refused to leave... He demands we loan him some but sir... He hasn't paid back the ones he borrowed" I sighed as I dropped my glass trashly on the table.

‎This man is as good as dead just when I was about to have a good time, how dare he. No one interrupts my leisure time and goes scot free.

‎I stood up with my guards behind me and walked towards the commotion breathing hard I could feel my hot breath in me.

‎I looked towards Jazmine who looked confused as she watched me walk away. I'm sure my guards will take care of her.

‎The sight before me was pitiful. The man groveling on the floor was old enough to be my father. He was bleeding badly and my guards where still hitting him with no remorse.

‎ "Enough" I said as I stepped forward. The man immediately looked up,got up and ran to me. He held my legs and my guards came to pull him off me.

‎"leave him" I said as I kicked him away myself.d

‎"Sir ..... please.....have....mercy...." The man begged not looking up once. I scoffed as I looked down at him

‎"How much?" I asked my guard Juan.

‎" 5000 dollars" I  then nodded towards the man

‎"You have a family?"

‎"Please don't hurt them.... I beg you..."

‎"Hmm ......... Wrong answer "I kicked him with my shoes hard. I heard a squish.

‎"I do....but.. . I don't....." I kicked him hard and he let out a groan.

‎"You stop at I do....Common now Mr ... you are educated aren't you?"

‎"I have two daughters" the man said and I looked down at him this time with curiosity.

‎"What do you mean?"

‎"I heard you where looking for a wife you can take my youngest" the man said looking hopeful and that made me despise him more.

‎" And you think I'll take your cheap daughter as a wife?" I laughed at this. Who in the world offers their daughter on a platter for $5000

‎"It would be my payment...sir please you have to consider.." he trailed off about how gorgeous she was and sure I would be impressed which made me scoff in disgust. Such an excuse of a father

‎"And if I take her she'll be my payment?" I asked.

‎"No"

‎"No?"

‎"I can't give you my daughter for just $5000 you'll have to pay me more " the man stated. He wasn't looking at the floor anymore his head was held high as he stared into my eyes. Guess his greed feels fed.

‎"I've got to give it to you sir..... You've got balls for a cheap excuse of a man..." he flinched "did I strike a nerve? ". I really wanted to say no but his confidence intrigued me. I really wanted to see this daughter of his. And besides it's no secret that my father has been setting me up for marriage. He claims he doesn't want to die without a grandchild and also, due to my age.

‎"Sir..... "

‎"Ok... Drop your address I'll grace you with my presence and if I like what I see ... Then we'll have a deal and I'll pay you double" he grinned "but...if I hate what I see..i'll kill you and your family! Get him out " with this, his face turned pale but I could care less. I turned and went back to my business.

‎Jazmine.

  • Collateral Damage   Mama

    I pushed through the doors of the hospital as I ran towards my mum's room. Ashely texted me the room number so all I had to do was find the damn floor. After a while, I finally sighted the room and I ran towards it. "Ash....."I stopped dead in my tracks as I came face to face with my dad which made my blood boil. I felt the pain all over especially as I looked him over and saw how good he looked. He looked really good and well. Which made everything worse. How can he look so good while I'm suffering. "Addy ....." My mum's low voice broke me out of my trance. "Mama..." I said as the tears I was trying to hold back betrayed me. I took her shaky hands in mine as I squeezed it lightly. "My love ...oh how ....I've...missed....you" she said slowly and I smiled at that. " I missed you too mama..you'll get better" she smiled and she nodded. Squeezing my hands.The door opened and Ashley walked in with coffee for my dad I guess and she hugged me. " Hey there stranger" she smiled "Oh

  • Collateral Damage   His Toy...

    I looked at him from the corner of my eye as we sat on the dinning table eating pasta silently. Well apart from the slurping sound we both made as we ate . I sighed as I looked down at my plate. This was the worst feeling ever the feeling that you're just a toy. I couldn't pin it as sex toy yet cause he has never asked me for sex not like I wanted him to but I atleast wanted him to look at me like a woman not an object. I pushed his bowl away and wiped his mouth . He walked to me and took my plate not caring if I was done eating or not . He just passed me and walked to the kitchen. I sighed as I pushed myself up. I relaxed my tensed shoulders and made my way to the stairs. "Adeline" Emilio's voice made me stop and turn. He walked towards me slowly making me back up a little.. "Forgive my manners" he said looking at me straight in the eye. "I have a hard time knowing when to shut up" I wanted to say something but I kept quiet was he apologizing? I couldn't quite understand. "I'm

  • Collateral Damage   My husband

    ‎A problem Emilio and I may have might be the fact that I don't shut up. ‎I say my mind irrespective of who you are and what you are especially what. ‎My dad really didn't help me with this side cause I constantly had to be saying my mind if not i would've been walked over and kept to grovel my way up to the top especially in my line of work. ‎Honestly, now that I'm married I really doubt I have the luxury to keep up with my job. ‎I obviously quit waitressing, tutoring and selling, but dancing is my first love. It is something I can't give up especially knowing how good I am at it. ‎ When I'm on stage, it feels like the whole world is on halt and I am the star of the night. Only me and the chairs and pole. Hearing the cheers make things even better because honestly, I love when my dance makes people feel good. ‎Apart from the boners and crazy words I get called, everything else was blissful. ‎Here I was in bed thinking about how the hell I was supposed to leave the house wi

    ‎The car ride was as silent as I predicted. Emilio stared out of the widow and I did same. Bth on opposite sides. ‎When we drove into his street I knew it immediately. The roads where beautiful with flowers at the side and fancy streetlights. ‎Large buildings where coming in view and my heart sunk. So .. this will be my new home. ‎We got to the drive way and the car stopped. The driver rolled down his window and typed something in the intercom and continued with the drive. ‎My mouth dropped as the mansion came in view. It was larger than the largest hotel on my street. Damn ‎The car stopped directly in front of the large door and I swallowed hard before stepping out. ‎ Silently, I followed Emilio into the mansion and I looked around in awe. ‎"Beautiful right?" Emilio said and I snapped out of my day dream. "Yeahh.....it is " I smiled as I looked around the house. ‎White tiles covered the length of the room leading to french doors at the opposite end leading to the backya

    ‎"you look stunning Adeline" Ashley said as we both stared at my reflection. She looked like she was trying hard not to cry for my sake and I squeezed her hands in gratitude. How we ended up here is beyond me. ‎After that dreadful visit, my dad made me understand that it was either this or death. Not like I give a fuck about my dad's life, but my whole family was involved what choice did I have?. ‎To make myself feel better, it's better being a wife than a girl who works three jobs to feed her family. So, I took the deal. And as a plus, my husband to be was literally a Greek god. ‎"Thanks" ‎I was standing in a white slick wedding gown that hugged my side. Revealing all my curves perfectly. I agree I did look pretty but I felt horrible inside so horrible I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. ‎My whole life I never expected to end up here at the age of 25 in a wedding gown getting ready to wed someone I just met once. ‎The painful part was I had nothing to loose

    ‎ "Adeline... Table two" Cassie said as she passed me the tray. Quickly, I took the tray and went to serve it. I tired to smile really nicely as my back was already aching. And my legs felt like burnt wood. ‎"Here's your food enjoy" bowing down nearly killed me as my back cracked. This is exactly why I was coerced into taking this job. Bottom line I hate it. ‎"Looks like your shift is over ma'am" Cassie smiled and I chuckled half-heartedly. ‎"Lucky me" I said and she handed me an envelope. "Thanks" I smiled stuffing it into my bra. The pay is trash but who am I to complain. ‎ ‎Going home was peaceful. The road was very quiet just the way I liked it. The smell of fresh rain made it even better. ‎Everything is better with rain. ‎ I checked my wristwatch and it was 9pm I guess the store would still be opened. I didn't want a detour but I needed to. Sighing, I walked to the store which was longer than I expected. I got to the store thirty minutes past nine. ‎ I pushed the door
