Chapter 2 Strip!

Before Valerie knew it, three days had passed, she was starting to think Martin had forgotten about her existence because she hadn't heard anything from him these past days. She was always sitting here, she hadn't even taken her bath, all that happened was the door opening and someone throwing in a plate of food for her to eat like she was a prisoner. Valerie didn't have an appetite so she didn't eat, she was now looking so weak and pale and had lost some weight. 

The ringing sound of the key opening the bar door echoed around the dark room and Valerie rolled her eyes a bit, expecting someone to throw in some food as usual but nothing of such happened. Valerie tried looking around but couldn't see anything because the room hadn't changed color since she was locked in here. She was really sensitive to the darkness and was beginning to get afraid. It could be one of the guards coming in to defile her or maybe not in anyways, she just pray not.

"Who's there?" She managed to speak, she was still very scared, her shaking voice showed it all but she was trying her best to look very bold.

There was no reply from the person and she looked around while feeling the dirty ground with her hand, checking if she might see even one thing to defend herself if the worst chose to happen.

"Look at all this untouched food, are you planning to get yourself killed?" An unfamiliar manly voice sounded.

Valerie looked around, trying to be alert, she didn't see anything on the floor so she gripped on her cloth tightly. A sigh was heard and before she knew it, someone was squatting in front of her. A flash light was suddenly turned on and Valerie could see his face now, he was looking a bit familiar and she recalled him standing beside Martin three days ago.

"Did he send you to come get me?" She asked slowly, still gripping her clothes tightly.

Haunter's eyes caught her hands on her cloth and he only just smiled. "No one asked me to come get you".

"Then.. why are you here?" Valerie asked again, maybe he wants to defile her but his face right now, he didn't look like that was any of his plans so she was a bit rest assured.

Haunter's eyes wandered around her untouched food instead. "You've lost weight, if you don't eat something you might die and your family.." he said softly, his eyes didn't leave the untouched food. 

"I won't die," she muttered.

A soft chuckle escaped Haunter's lips. "You'll need food to survive because you haven't started life here yet, luckily Martin hasn't been around but he will come back this evening" he said and Valerie looked at him.

Haunter then took the plate of food which he brought along with him. "It's freshly cooked, eat while it's still hot and drink some water too," he said, pushing the cup of water closer to her.

Valerie kept staring, her hands didn't leave her clothes and Haunter took it as she didn't trust him yet. 

"Also have this flashlight" he forcefully took her hand and placed the flashlight in her palm.

Valerie stared at it but still said nothing and Haunter smiled at her before standing up. "I will come to check up on you later, I hope to see that you'd have eaten the food" and after saying that, the door banged shut and the room was dark again.

Valerie slowly turned on the touch light, she looked at the plate of food in front of her and she opened it carefully, inside it was a colorful dish, looks attractive and the aroma that came from it could touch your heart at the first glance. Since she hadn't eaten for three days straight, she was very hungry.

Haunter's words came to her head again. If she doesn't eat then she might die once she starts the real torture since Martin would be coming back this evening and she don't want to die, she don't want anything that would make that man go back to her house and go after her sister and mother. She took the spoon and began eating as fast as she could.

After eating, Valerie fell asleep and as she was sleeping, she felt a heavy pain in her stomach. Her eyes squinted open and she saw two men in front of her, she sat up immediately. One of the men had just kicked her in the stomach not caring that she was a woman.

"How dare you sleep when Martin ordered for you!" The other one barked at her.

Valerie looked everywhere, the room looked even darker which means it's evening already and Haunter had told her that Martin would be coming this evening. She wasn't done thinking when the man that kicked her earlier grabbed her up by one of her arms. "Gosh you stink a lot, boss is surely going to kill us, let's hand her over to the maids for cleaning" he blocked his nose as he dragged Valerie out of the dark room.

They moved into another unit of the place where Valerie could finally see light then they banged on a door hard. It opened revealing an old woman that looked very ugly, strict and harsh.

"Boss wants her in his condo, you know what to do" he said to the woman.

She nodded and the guard pushed Valerie in, the push was strong enough to make her fall flat on the floor in front of the woman as the door went shut.

"And what do you think you're doing by laying there, do you expect me to pick you up!?" The woman's voice rang and Valerie tried standing up when another kick- this time from the woman, landed on her stomach, making her fall back on the floor.

It was really painful, she almost felt blood leaving her mouth but she managed to stand up, her knees were wobbling and her face looked dirty and pale.

The woman was irritated by staring at her. "Disgusting thing, strip!" She ordered.

"Huh?" Valerie muttered and before her mind could count up to a second, a heavy slap landed on her face.

Valerie could swear that she saw stars after that slap, she could even count them.

"Maybe that should reset your deranged brain now, strip and follow me" the woman scoffed and began leaving.

A teardrop fell from Valerie's eyes but as she recalled her sister and mother, she took off her cloth and followed the woman. The woman opened a curtain where Valerie could see a bathtub and shower. There was soapy water inside the tub.

"Get in" the woman ordered and Valerie climbed into the bathtub.

The woman took a neat pair of body scrub and added soap on it. 

"Give me your hands" she ordered.

Valerie did as told and she began washing all Valerie's body parts thoroughly. She also helped Valerie re-shave her armpit and private part which made her beyond embarrassed but there was nothing she could do about it. When the woman was done, Valerie was given a neat bathrobe and she was taken to the vanity table where the woman helped her into doing a little makeup and styling her hair.

"Stand up!" The woman ordered and Valerie stood up. 

"Take off the robe!"

Valerie did as told and the woman began checking Valerie's body out. She won't lie that the young woman in front of her was blessed in a very sexy body, Martin would surely love it. She went to the wardrobe and brought out a skimpy and silk dress that was looking transparent and not just that, it was really short.

"Put it on," she offered.

Valerie stared at the dress feeling uncomfortable but she didn't want another slap so she collected it and wore it. Indeed it was really short, stopping just after her booty and uncomfortable, her cleavage was exposed, her tummy was exposed too even her private part since the dress was transparent. She wasn't given any underwear which made her feel even irritated at herself. Any other girl would love her sexy look but not Valerie, she wasn't ready for anything yet.

The woman took perfume and body spray then sprayed it on Valerie's body.

"Make sure to make boss Martin happy tonight and don't annoy him or you're dead meat!" The maid scoffed before taking the telephone on the stand.

She called a number and said something but Valerie wasn't listening since she was more worried about herself and what would happen between her and Martin. Would he touch her and would she lose herself like this?

The door opened and some maids came in. 

"Go with them, they'll take you to Martin's room" the woman ordered. Valerie nodded fearfully and followed them. As they were on their way, the maids were feeling pity for her, they knew was a really beautiful woman but her life was already ruined, they were sorry for her.

Their journey ended in front of a luxurious looking door and one of the maids faced her.

"We will leave you here, miss, knock gently and do whatever he asks you to do, he has a short temper so don't annoy him, good luck" she instructed in a polite manner then left.

The other maids followed her and Valerie sucked in some deep breath, her hands were trembling as she stretched it to the door and she mustered up enough courage to knock.

"Come in" his deep voice hasn't changed a bit, even though he was inside, it still gave her shivers.

Her hands trembled as she pushed the door open and there he was, sitting on an armed chair.

He was shirtless and only had his black jeans on and he was smoking too. The image alone looked really sexy, it can turn any girl on but not Valerie because all she felt was fear. He kept smoking, acting like he didn't know someone was standing before him. Valerie didn't know what to do, should she give him a signal that she had arrived already or was he not ready to talk?

Valerie stylishly peeped at him, his image made her heart race in fear, she could already imagine the torturous things he would be doing to her since he was back from wherever he went and she could only just shiver.

What had she signed up for?

Just when she was about to say something, his deep voice echoed around the room.

"Strip!"
