บททั้งหมดของ A DIRTY AFFAIR : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

GEMMA I opened the dressing room door and walked wobbling to the stage amidst loud and cheering noises. I got to the stage, climbed it and stood at the center of the stage. I closed my eyes nervously, exhaling and inhaling. I opened my eyes and stared at the large crowd cheering at me and waiting for me to start performing.I knew how weird and irritating it felt dancing in front of men old enough to be your father because I've been working in this club as a waitress for a long time and had seen everything that's going on, but here I am, on this stage, about to dance almost naked.This is my first time dancing almost half naked in front of everyone."Just do it. Just one night, if you dance well, you would get enough money to settle your debts once and for all" my best friend's words replayed in my mind.It was hard for her to bring up this suggestion but she had seen how I've been living a miserable life and living from hand to mouth while trying to pay back the debts my father o

GEMMAI got back to the room. I slowly opened the door and peeped inside. When I was sure no one was inside I went in. My bag still laid the same way I left it on the couch. "Thank goodness" I muttered and heaved a sigh of relief. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I had lost this money. I picked up my bag and clutched it to my body tightly.I was about to leave the room when I stumbled upon a body lying on the floor. I could swear my heart literally flew out of my mouth in fear. I covered my mouth with my palm to stop myself from screaming out loud.What's the body doing here? Why didn't I see it when I came in? I kicked the body lying on the floor. It rolled to the other side and I saw it was a man bleeding profusely from the chest. He was shot. He was dead!I staggered back in shock, my whole body trembling at this horrible sight. My hands became sweaty and I paced around, confused on what to do.What happened here?"Leave this room. Now!" My inner voice said and I nodded subconsc

Antonio could see fear in her brown eyes, as she stood up slowly from the ground but he couldn't care less. She killed one of his men and she must pay for her crimes."Why did you kill him?" He asked her.Gemma shook her head negatively. Her body trembled in fear. She couldn't even bring herself to speak."Tell me, who are you working for? Who sent you? Dante?" Antonio asked."I don't…don't know what you're talking about," she said with a shaky voice."Don't lie to me" Antonio screamed, hitting the table hard. "I didn't kill me. Believe me, I'm innocent. I didn't kill him" she cried out, rubbing her palms together, pleading desperately."There's a gun in her bag," Luca said.Antonio raised his eyebrow at her when Luca mentioned the gun."I took it to defend myself. I don't even know how to shoot a gun" she cried."You're the last person to leave the room. How else do you want to explain it?" Antonio asked."I ran off to escape you when you left the room hurriedly and I forgot my bag

GEMMA I kept on tossing restlessly on my bed. Though the bed was big and so comfy, I couldn't sleep as I was worried and scared. I was far away from home, in a stranger's house and was at his mercy. Antonio kept true to his words and sent in so many slutty dresses. Only a few were decent. He got me so many underwear, body lotion and other necessary things he thought I could need.I sat up and went closer to the window. I opened the curtains and stared at the beautiful moon in the sky. It looked so free and happy being up there in the sky and I suddenly wished I was the moon.Gabriella must be so worried about me. I just hope she's treated herself to the bruises Antonio's wicked men gave her. My best friend must be so worried about me but I couldn't even call her to calm her nerves down. Antonio took my phone from me and said he's going to give it back to me at the right time.I never imagined things were going to turn out this way. Hours ago, I was a free young lady working my ass

GEMMA I was sitting helplessly on the bed after I was done crying. Sitting helplessly and staring into empty space.I had always envisioned myself losing my virginity to the man I truly love and the man who loves me back. Had it been I know, I would have allowed Leonardo, my ex boyfriend to sleep with me when he asked for it. But I was too shy and wasn't ready then to have sex with him and felt I made the right decision not allowing him when I found out that he cheated on me with one of my closest friends. Now, it'd have been better if I lost my virginity to Leonardo than this monster.Never in my wildest thought did I think that I was going to lose my virginity like this, being helpless and being tied up and what more? to a total stranger.My life's so miserable. I felt hatred, contempt, scorn growing in my heart towards Antonio."I swear to God, I'd kill him whenever I get the chance" I swore to myself as fresh tears started to roll down my cheeks.I wiped it off immediately w
