CHAPTER 71KateThe loud music blasted around the place, but most of all, it sounded too close to Kate’s head, it made her want to cry or as a headache was fast brewing.She didn’t mind the headache though, for she knew that Gordon didn't care if she was ailing or dying, as long as she brought good money to the table; at least that was what he said to her.A man she walked past spiked her attention because for some odd reason, he just bore too much resemblance with Richie. Their resemblance was so uncanny that it made her pause and stare.She missed him. She knew that, even though she was unwilling to be caught saying something like that.Her mind wandered into, and suddenly she remembered that night she had been ordered for a private dance, the night Gordon had threatened her simply because she complained about being too tired to want to continue dancing,… the night someone had ordered for her but never came even until she slept off.The memory brought a sudden chill down the length

Kate’s heart leapt with joy… so much joy, and her soul was so happy that she almost cried out because again, some set girls in the club here had been sold out again but not her.They’d been sold out like pieces of antiques for mouthwatering prices in order to be used again by their new bosses in order to regenerate the amount of money they had been bought with… and even more.This was the second time this week that this was happening. The second time they were selling a lot of girls off to bring in new ones; The second time that she began to feel like Ashley really had her back but no matter how much she thought of it, she couldn't help but think that this could be Gordon’s doing.That motherfucker would do anything to leave her at his club due to the kind of money she regenerates every time she stepped on that goddamn dance floor, and due to his greed, there was no way he was going to sell off his asset for some amount of money,Kate watched him from where she stood, watched how he g

Chapter 75KateKate gasped in awe, her heart was filled with so much joy, and with it came the feeling of fulfillment that she had always craved for all her life… the feeling of serenity and peace at last.She hugged herself, the smile tugging at her lips refused to falter as she stared at Richie’s handsome face.This was unbelievable! Marvelously so!She couldn’t believe how long had passed during this short time and how it has suddenly become months that Richie has been hospitalized… and now, he is fine!Fine at last, and fine enough to come home.As they strutted out of the hospital, walking side by side, all Kate could think about was finally having a normal life. The thought made her shiver with excitement as she couldn’t wait to begin to live the kind of life that she has always dreamed of…the type that had always kept her awake, crying and wishing that a miracle would occur.And now, a miracle did occur. The fact that Gordon had died had made her feel sad for a brief moment bu

Kate“Crazy people!” Kate muttered dejectedly to herself as she slapped on some makeup on her face even though she knew she didn’t really need it.She simply needed to distract herself from Philip’s disrespect as well as take some more time before she had to face Phillip again, and this was the only way she could achieve that.She didn’t want this dinner anymore; didn’t want to have to sit across Jane and Phillip, eating and chatting when the only thing she wanted was to see them out of the house.In fact, she wasn’t sure she wanted to be getting married to Richie anymore knowing fully well that his grandfather didn’t like her one bit and didn’t even act like he planned on ever accepting her.These thoughts swirled around her head over and over again and made her quite uncomfortable. She was confused.She knew she wanted Richie, but not like this. Not when his grandfather saw her like a walking hazard and especially not when Jane was always around, poking her nose into their business

Kate“Ash—” Kate started saying but immediately hushed when she saw Ashley raise her index finger up to her lips, as if asking her to keep her mouth shut.She did, gulping.Kate still wasn’t sure what Ashley was doing here, especially with her. She feared that she was here for a favor and knew she had nothing to offer right now.Her mind reeled. She needed Richie’s attention right now, needed him to turn around and see the predicament that had befallen her but when she looked in Richie’s direction, she only found him engrossed in a conversation with two middle aged men.Kate shook with fear and uncertainty; uncertain as to whether to raise an alarm or simply act all cool and follow with the silent fear that shook her entire being to the core.She knew what Ashley was, knew that she had killed several people before and couldn’t afford to be the next person on that long list of hers. Not now, not ever.“Does anyone know you’re here?” She asked in a quiet voice, whilst looking into the s
