Did She not Just escape Pedro and all the madness that came with him? Only to end up in the hands of a ruthless pimp? Tessa asked herself as she cradled her new friend.

Clarissa pressed her face into Tessa’s shoulder. “I don’t want you to feel pity. I just… wanted you to know.”

Tessa stroked her hair. “You’re incredibly brave. I wish I could help.”

She needed help herself.

As much as she tried to be calm, she was having heart palpitations and hoped clarissa did not notice.

Clarissa lifted her head, eyes glistening. “I know you will if you could. Your energy is just different. It’s a shame you do not know where you are from or who you really are.”

    Tessa's jaw clenched. "So you feed others to the same monster eating you alive?""I do what I have to," Clarissa snapped. "You think I sleep at night? You think I don't hear the screams, or see the blood? I hear it all. I see it. And I keep going because if I stop—if I stop—then there's no money for the medicine, no roof for my daughter, no food. Nothing.""And what about them?" Tessa whispered. "What about girls like Alice?"Clarissa looked away. "They knew the rules.""No pregnancies," Tessa said slowly, as if the words were poison."No attachments. No disobedience. No questions," Clarissa finished grimly. "Alice broke all of them.""That doesn't mean she deserved to die!"Clarissa turned back to her, eyes wide, voice shaking. "You think I don't know that? You think I'm not haunted every night? Don't you dare act like you know what it's like to have your back to a wall with nowhere to go. You've been here for what? A few weeks? I've survived here for three years."Tessa stepped back

    AUTHORS POVThe murmur came from behind the half-open bathroom door. Tessa was simply walking past, a damp rag in hand, ready to wipe down tables after another long shift at the bar before she called it a day, she was exhausted and wanted to catch her breath. But something in the whispering tones—sharp, secretive, poisonous—snagged her attention like a hook in the gut.she had been hearing their chatters the few times she passed by the toilet and tried to ignore it, but it sounded like they were talking about Alicia."Did you hear?" one of the girls said."What did you hear? I have been aloof" another replied."That Alice bitch is dead" the girl who spoke up initially said."Serves her right," one voice said, a high-pitched cackle. "Always parading around like she was better than the rest of us. She wanted to be Sir Ferdinand's favorite.""Pfft," another chimed in. "That's not what I heard. I heard she was messing around with that fat customer who always comes in asking for the red wi

    AUTHORS POVShe jumped, dropping the rag. Her legs obeyed before her mind could, scampering back behind the counter. Her hands shook as she picked up another cloth and resumed wiping, her head bowed low. But her eyes—they stayed sharp, watching every movement from the corner of her vision.The blood. The hair. The way the girl's form had twisted unnaturally under the fabric. She had been alive last night. Breathing. Crying. Pleading.Tessa hated that she had to witness such gruesomeness.She had heard it all.She had done nothing.Sir Ferdinand leaned in toward one of the men, speaking in raspy, too-low tones. The man nodded curtly and walked out through the backdoor.Then Ferdinand turned to Clarissa. "Get one of the girls to replace Alicia. I need strong ones. No crybabies."Clarissa paled. Tessa saw it—the shift in her expression, the slow realization sinking like a stone."Yes, Sir," Clarissa replied, voice neutral.Tessa's chest seized.Alicia. That was her name. Alicia.Tessa's

  • RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE   Hot Flashes

    AUTHORS POVTessa could barely sleep as flashes from last night clouded her subconscious, it was as though she was reliving nightmares.Dawn broke slowly over the horizon, it was something Tessa was thankful for, it arrived like answered prayers, painting the sky in hues of orange as the sun lit up the sky. The bar, though modest, had a certain grim aura about it, sitting half-hidden between rustling palm trees and the old port trail. The early sun streamed through the cracks in the wooden walls, illuminating the dust particles dancing lazily in the air.Tessa stood behind the counter, her hands mechanically scrubbing down the stained surface with a wet rag. The rhythm was calming, the repetitive motion a necessary distraction from the horror of the night before, she wondered if her baby was okay as she had not felt any movement. She'd barely slept, her mind constantly reliving Clarissa's whispered words, the woman's piercing scream, and Sir Ferdinand's predatory grin especially his

Before she could scream an alarm, Ferdinand turned. His face was a mask of anger as he barked “who is there!!”.He barked an order to the other free man in the room, and they both lunged at door, Clarissa pulled Tessa dark corner. The man who comes to check did not see them, There’s nobody here, probably a cat” they heard him say out loud from where they were hiding. He slammed the door, but they continued to hear the young girl screaming her lungs as all four man straddled and ravished her , pushing her at themselves like a piece of fresh meat being ripped by bulldogs. The woman behind the door screamed again, and Tessa’s world narrowed. She spun away, stumbling over a stray crate, and ran to her room. Ferdinand’s laughter chased her into the night. She sprinted back toward the cabin, lungs burning, adrenaline fuel
