RavenI can't believe I am eight months pregnant. For a while, I worked at the club, and it felt amazing. Slowly, I noticed Grayson talking to some of the guys there. He did what I did, ran and hid, so me opening the club and hiring those dancers that Ruth used meant Grayson couldn't hide anymore. I sat and watched him talk to them, something he admitted he didn't do after he left.Many are grateful for the escape from Ruth. Over the months working I learnt a lot from the men. Ruth didn't just use them and lure them in as children. She continued it in their adulthood as well.They had told her their deepest darkest secrets and she held it over them.

She laughs and sits back."I plan to see if you will listen, then go from there. They have tried Aileen, but your attitude has become worse. This is the fourth month of no payment."She sits quietly and I watch her, not moving. I know she expected me to come in with people, but I didn't. If I did she
