Saving Sarah 27. Final performance
Renata drew her shoulders back as she gave her a look of surprise. “Are you kidding me? The hall is filled to the brim, and we have more patrons queuing outside and begging to come in. some are even offering to pay twice the entrance fee... Although just one special guest of honor is yet to arrive, it’s typical of him to be late anyway, but since he already gave me his word that he'll be here, he will be.”Angela’s face fell now. “I do hope he keeps his word. They haven't visited the Burlesque in almost two years now.”“Oh, put your mind at rest, dear child. He's in New York on business and I made him promise to stop by.” Renata placed a reassuring hand on Angela’s arm, while Sarah glanced from one woman to another, having no clue about their discussion. “Don’t worry your head, because in order to make tonight’s show a success, I will need your full concentration, so do not worry too pretty little head, my Cinderella, your Prince Charming is bound to arrive soon. Now you two
Saving Sarah 25. A new Friend
Angela nodded. "Of course. I would rather be here than be anywhere else, girl. Madam Renata is exceptionally kind to all of us," Several ladies fluttered their fingers at Angela as they walked past them and exited the room. "She treats everyone of us like family. That's why we are so loyal to her."Sarah nodded then scanned the half-empty room again. Music, cheers and applauds were coming from somewhere outside the room. "I don't know if I can do this. I mean, I hardly even know anything about showbiz... I don't even know how I'm supposed to fit in." "Don't say that, girl. Every woman knows how to call all sorts of attention to her body. Besides, we all learned, and with enough practice, we were on stage in on time. All you have to do is merge yourself with some avatar of you that you create in your mind then leave the rest to it. So, relax your mind, be willing to put in the wor, kill whatever anxiety you have, snuff out your timidity and modesty, and throw on the cloak of confidenc
Saving Sarah 24. The Burlesque
Renata flounced into the dressing room occupied with more than three dozen different girls busy at their dressing tables in front of their vanity mirrors. Sarah paused after stepping through the curtain watching the activities of several girls busy donning makeups or adjusting their costumes as they prepared for their shows, and they threw curious glances her way but said nothing."What is this place?" Sarah asked, amazed by the colorful room, and how the girls looked radiant and beautiful in their bright and fancy costumes.“Welcome to New York,” Renata beamed at her.Sarah regarded the ladies' skimpy dresses and other costumes that made them look like strippers. "This is not a sort of fancy brothel or a strip club, is it?""I would be offended but I understand that you're only ignorant. Well, this is not a brothel or a strip club, it is more like a Broadway show, only with a unique difference," Renata chuckled. "This is a burlesque. Strictly artistic entertainment." She smiled. "Do
Saving Sarah 23. No one dares the Franchettis
None of the men dared to move. Some even averted their gazes, except Giuliano who just glared at him, quietly seething. Stefano turned around, waiting patiently for a victim stupid enough to dare him, but none stepped forward even after several minutes of uncomfortable silence passed. "Thought as much," he said finally. "Renata, she's all yours!" He gently nudged Sarah towards Renata, who quickly put Sarah beside her protectively.Sarah looked up at Stefano, amazed and stunned by his prowess. How could a man be this fearless? She cleared her throat and swallowed hard as she remembered that she had to return his coat. "Your coat?"Stefano stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Keep it or burn it! Whichever suits you."Sarah raised surprised brows. She knew expensive clothes when she saw one, and this was definitely one from a famous designer who she was partially familiar with. How could he ask her to burn something as expensive as this?"The men will see you off to safety, Rena
Saving Sarah 22. Her saviour
Armo hurried down the stairs, down into the open courtyard. "Don't shoot her God-damn-it!!! I need her alive!!! Go after the others, you sick fucks!" He yelled at his men who were confused on whether to shoot Sarah or risk letting the other women escape. Sarah dauntlessly stood her ground, still boldly shielding the escaping women. When she heard a car start, then zoomed out the front gate with such speed, she knew the women had stolen one of the guests’ cars and had finally escaped even though some of the men tried to shoot at the tires, but failed. When she was sure the women had a good start in case the men decided to give chase, she finally put her arms down in satisfaction, but the metallic taste of Gladys’ blood in her mouth immediately plunged her into sadness and despair. She still couldn’t believe that Anita and Gladys were indeed dead. They were here alive and breathing a minute ago, and dead the next minute. She snapped out of her mood to see Armo advancing towards h
Saving Sarah 21. Blood!
Gladys sat on her buttocks and kicked the rusted grate with both feet, and it burst open with a loud squeak, swinging outward and slamming against the concrete wall. She crawled out into the open and straightened up, inhaling the wonderful night's fresh breeze. When the other women joined her, she said, looking up at the moon in awe. "Beautiful, isn't it? The smell of freedom." She inhaled then exhaled deeply."Yes, which is imminent. Where's the lot?" Sarah asked rather impatiently. There was no time to waste on admiring the moon; they needed to get going.Gladys pointed at the far end of the compound. "Over there! We need to hurry." She strode into the open with the other women, away from the shadows of the building."You will have to take off those damn heels, or you'll give away our cover and location with their sound," Gladys said to Sarah. Sarah was about to take off the shoes when they heard several footsteps approaching. The women all turned around in fright to see armed m
Saving Sarah 5 - A new life
“What do we do?” Fred asked as he paced the living room, one hand on his hip and the other on his head. He was greatly distressed unlike Helen who comfortably sat in the couch, watching him go back and forth.“Do you think she is really serious about becoming a nun?”
Saving Sarah 4 - A father's despair
"I want to be a nun." Declared Sarah.Her father sauntered out of his wine bar, holding a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a burning cigar between the fingers of his other hand. "Another ploy you brought from Chicago to rattle my chains, uh?" He casually asked, putting the cigar between h
Saving Sarah 3 - An impulsive decision
Sarah had been voted as Prom Queen, but she had never spited Helen in any way with her social status, even when Helen didn't want to attend the prom because she had no date, Sarah had fixed her a date with one of the popular guys in school.After high school, she had also insisted Helen go to the s
Saving Sarah 1 - Betrayal
Sarah slowly parked her Mercedes CLK next to the black Chevrolet Camaro in front of the house. She got down the car and smiled, noticing the lights glowing in one of the rooms upstairs; lights meant someone was home and that, also was her fiancé.The thought that she was really going to enjoy surpr
