"Is this what I said I wanted?!" The woman's raging voice took me off guard and I was trying to explain myself. Melody was in the bathroom taking a break and I didn't mind helping her deliver an order but it seems I had mixed it up.
"I-I…" I was so confused, I was just a cleaner, sure I was used to getting shouted at but this woman was impossible, "but this is your order ma'am." I was very positive I didn't mix up the tables and give it to the wrong person.
"There's too much salt, the meat is undercooked!" She hissed at all the problems and I was getting irritated, "Eat it yourself!" She dumped the food on me and time froze.
Everyone was in shock and she didn't seem to bat an eyelid at me but my blood was boiling but I couldn't do s thing.
"What is going on here?!" I could hear my boss stump in at the wrong time like an angry elephant, "Miss Donna! You're here tonight?!" He was shocked to see one of the prestigious guests of the famous Euphoria Hotel.
"And it seems you don't want me to ever be here again cause you sent this disgusting witch to poison me!" It was the wild claims and then my boss turned to glare at me daggers but my eyes gave me away. I didn't do anything.
"No, do not take it like that, she made a mistake and she will apologize, Camila?" His glare got worse and I felt like dying there and then.
"I'm sorry." It was barely audible and she snorted at me.
"Another one will be brought for you, on the house." He managed a smile before dragging me away from the scenery, "are you for real?!"
"Do you really believe what she just said about me boss?!" I was shocked to my bone, I guess rich people had the same way of thinking.
"I don't care what she says but she is worth millions, so don't mess anything up or you'll be out of here. Got it?!" I didn't get the chance to speak any further before he left me.
I was covered in steak juice and greens, it was so humiliating and no one deserves anything like this, rich or poor. But the rich always treated us, poor people, like servants. They could use our blood and still not care about what happens to us.
I sniffed back my tears and grabbed my cleaning equipment, going back to the spot the embarrassment happened and began cleaning the mess. I could still hear them whispering and snickering at me.
I locked my eyes to the floor and a tear fell from my eyes as I heard someone call me a loser. A word I was very familiar with, especially in high school. Just because I had no parents, everyone hated me and bullied me.
I was even assaulted and they all thought I was lying because it was a rich school and I got into it via scholarship.
More tears fell to the floor and no matter how many times I wiped, more tears kept falling. I was shattering slowly as my trauma came back to me.
I quickly got to my feet and as I turned, I hit someone who was just behind me. Shit, not another rich person!
"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" I checked his jacket as he stood still like a rock, his eyes were a bit red and he didn't seem stable but he held out a hand telling me to stop.
"You're trying to mess up my date like you did Miss Donna?" I knew that voice from anywhere, Amber. I rolled my eyes as I made sure he was okay, "Just watch where you're going next time, if you weren't so clumsy, you won't be looking like a meal on the menu, thrown into the garbage." She snickered at me and I took a deep breath just to make sure I didn't throw her into a dumpster. Dead.
But the man kept staring at me, jet black hair and piercing hazel blue eyes, I was melting, my knees were knocking and I could feel a bit of heat gather in between my legs. His energy was magnetic and it was pulling me in fast.
"Let's go." His voice was just as deep as his stare and Amber happily skipped away with him. She had bagged a really good one and I'm sure he would give her a lot of money. But that was the last thing I wanted to do, sleep around for money.
After the assault, I barely managed to get a boyfriend.
I went straight to the bathroom to clean myself, I turned on the faucet first and grabbed some soap. My reflection caught my eyes and I had a good look at myself.
I looked horrible. My hair was looking like an old abandoned wig that hadn't been brushed in a year, I had dark circles underneath my eyes and I was starting to break out.
"Camila…" I had no idea when I broke down, this was not the life I wanted and I'm very sure my parents didn't want me either. Maybe if they didn't give me up for adoption when I was a baby, it would have been different. It would have been so different.
I sank to my knees in the corner of the bathroom and cried my eyes out, I would do anything to change my predicament. I couldn't keep living this way, having everyone walk over me, was I cursed or something?
I spent at least 30 minutes crying and when I was done, I was numb. I washed my face and cleaned myself up before going back to my duty. As the cleaner.
It was time to check the rooms and I made sure each one was clean and ready for the next use. I walked lifelessly, doors passing my view till I sighted Amber and that rich man coming out of a room. They passed me by as Amber clung to him, disheveled but smiling stupidly. I guess I had to clean that next.
I stood at the door and exhaled before I opened it. The room still looked neat, the bed looked like an explosion just happened. That's why she was smiling like that. I took the sheets off first and put in new ones. As I arranged a few things, I saw a snake in the corner of my eye.
"Snake!" I yelped, practically jumping on the bed but it didn't move. When I looked closer it wasn't a snake but some kind of latex and an indication that I needed sleep.
I moved closer and grabbed it, a used condom. I held my barf back, I can't believe I just picked that with my bare hands. I was about to dump it until a thought came to me. I stared at the ticket to my freedom long and hard, fighting my conscience.
I had heard so many stories of rich men getting poor girls pregnant and having to take care of them. I never wanted to do such a thing but maybe this was my only chance. I could be a billionaire in just 9 months!
I kept the condom in my pocket and pushed my cleaning equipment out of the room.
"Can you all just shut up?!!"Everywhere went stiff and quiet, the rich man that Camila had come to claim as the father of her baby had finally spoken up, and he was boiling with anger."Mother…just…let me handle it." He was seething with rage and Camila was shifting between her feet, what was he going to do now? He turned to her, the color of his eyes was glistening with irritation, and eventually her gaze fell."You, outside, now." He went ahead of her before eventually following him and when they were close to the gate, he stopped."And what's up with you? You're angrier than that cartoon character, oh what's his name?" It was just at the tip of her tongue before he held his hand out for her to stop her blabbering."Look, I don't have time for this, you came in the middle of an event to accuse me, I know you're not pregnant, and I know you have nothing to do with me. So how much do you want?" He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his checkbook, "just write whatever you
"Because I'm pregnant and it's not your baby! Fuck off!"Konrad's POV"Ah welcome Mr Russell, we are so glad you could make it, please sit." The boss welcomed me into his office, I took a good look at everything. It was neat enough.I took a seat and turned to the boss in the office, "It's my pleasure." I was calm and collected and I wanted it to be over with. I was itching to go back to her euphoria club and spend some time with my favourite sugar baby.I remembered that girl. The one that bumped into me, she looked so beautiful and it was hard to believe she wasn't one of them. Even with her hair in an utter mess, she still glowed. I never got to know her name."So the deal has been discussed and if you just sign here, you'll have full control of the company." He brought out his contract and handed me a pen swiftly. That alerted me.I snapped to one of my men, "Read it.""There isn't a need to do that, it's just as we have discussed." He stammered a little and urged me to sign it bu
Camila's povThat was the best day of my life, the doctor's appointment. I was pregnant, my whole life was about to change for the better. I didn't fight with anyone, in fact, I bought myself a new skull candy and I cleaned all the Ickiness of the famous club away.Occasionally I would puke and my skin got a little pale as the days went by but I was happy irrespective. And no one knew but I think June was starting to have suspicions. I kept my distance from the ugly witches but it baffled me that I didn't know my soon-to-be husband's name yet.How shameless of me.When it was my break, I skipped to the counter, the receptionist knew me well and he had a soft spot for me."You look so happy today, did someone give you a tip?" He smiled as he played with the thing I wanted the most.The register."Kevin, I can see that I won't be here anymore. But I'm going to miss you." I pouted and he looked up at me, his green eyes held mischief and he wanted to know what I was up to. I faked a sad e
Camila's PovIt's been weeks and I've been different. I didn't speak to anyone about what had just happened, I kept it bottled up inside of me and it was eating away my heart slowly. I was so numb and no one cared I didn't care either.I just finished scrubbing the toilets and now I was cleaning the mirrors. I looked at myself, the bags under my eyes were worse, I hadn't gotten proper sleep since that incident.A lady walked in and she took a good look at me before entering one of the stalls. I'm sure she must've seen how miserable I looked. I was done with the mirrors, I worked hard and that gave me a sense of accomplishment. I had also started a small online business, still learning, but I was moving too and I was hoping in a few months, I wouldn't be here.But it was my plan B.I exited the bathroom and went straight to the tables, I was cleaning it one by one till I heard some giggles. I tried to ignore it but it kept getting louder and louder. Curiosity got the best of me and I
Camila's Pov"Am I doing the right thing?" I questioned my morals and values but what else could I have done...this was my only opportunity and I couldn't afford to screw it up. Heck, I'll ask God for forgiveness but even he knows that I've tried and I've suffered a lot.And the way he was looking at me like he could have left Amber and taken me to the room to be slaughtered.My legs wobbled a little as I pushed my cleaning equipment. He was the first one to make me feel a deep sense of attraction, which was strange. I hardly got attracted to Matt, now it was a complete stranger.And he felt different, he didn't insult or bark at me like the other rich people did. I moved to the next room and knocked on the door, I could hear laughing and ululations. The room was clearly occupied and I was leaving till someone pulled the door open.He scanned me before a dirty smirk appeared on his lips, "hey beautiful." I blinked in disgust but kept my face neutral."I'm sorry, I will go and clean an
