(DELANIE POV)
I woke up early and set out on my way to Mama G's club. This woman had sent someone to me with a letter from her. Now i had no option but to go and meet her as she wanted.I understood that i was fast running out of days but i was already planning to bring Melanie to her tonight.
I picked the pocket of a man that just passed me by and i quickly called a cab before he could notice his wallet was gone.
Hell no was i going to walk all the way to Mama G's place.
The cab arrived at Mama G's club and i paid him with the cash i had just stolen. Lots more change was left for me to go back so i was glad i picked that man as my target.
I met those two elephant guards of hers at the back as she wrote in the letter and they accompanied me through the back door, into the club and then in front of her office which only i went in.
There she sat just like a big boss of her own and dressed in a long black dress. There was no table in f
(MELANIE POV):I woke up from my nap only to find my sister just coming in. I rubbed my fingers against my eyes and then looked at my sister again, sitting up at the same time."Where have you been all this time?" I asked her and she shook as if just waking up from a deep thought."Why are you so shaky? Did you steal something again?" I asked her but she only frowned at me."It's not every minute i steal you know." she replied."Really? Then i guess you just got yourself a new wallet right?" I asked her.She hastily looked in her right hand and saw that she was holding a wallet. She laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head while i looked on."Seriously Delanie. When will you ever learn?" i said."It still doesn't mean i steal every minute. This one was from almost an hour ago." she replied.I was about to say something else to Delanie when heard Mr Levinson suddenly called out for me."This conversation is not over." I told my sister, stood up and left the dressing room.I
"Are you done yet?" Delanie asked from outside the uncompleted building."Just hold on a little more." I told her.How much i wish that this torture would be over and we would have our own place or be able to live under rent but here i am in the middle of the night taking a bath in an uncompleted building just to pole dance for the wrong kind of people."I'm done now." I said to Delanie from inside after putting on clothes.I stepped out with the bucket and towel in my hands along with the soap and Delanie met me at the front."We won't be needing those anymore." Delanie said to me.She took the bucket, soap, and towel from my hands and threw them aside into a close up bush."What are you doing?" I asked her, clear surprise showing on my face."Getting you a new job. Surprise! Now let's leave." Delanie said. She grabbed my wrist and started pulling me forward.I yanked my hand out of hers and glared at her. "What new job?!" I asked her."Just come with me and you will see it." Delanie
30I was pushed in and i heard the door being locked behind me. All the ladies minded their own business but I noticed two in particular that seem to look at me with hate in their eyes. However, they said nothing to me and in the next few seconds they pretended i wasn't there. I hadn't a clue what to do but thankfully they seemed to be ldies who take their sleep seriously and the continued making their way to their beds.That way I would be careful not to cause trouble by lying on someone else's bed.When they all settled into their beds i saw that there was no bed let but then... they lay down in twos and there was one free space.The floor looked like it hadn't been swept for weeks and i did not look forward to sleeping on it. I walked up to the lady who was lying down."H... Hello?" I said to her, standing beside her bed.She looked directly at my face in a questioning manner."Can I ...""You aren't about to ask what i think you are about to ask are you?" she interrupted me."I'm s
31(DENVER HALES POV):After much deliberation I deceided to go for it even if i did not want to. Delanie wasn't telling me the truth and i had to know. I was supposed to get her contract from Kyle tonight but how could i take that risk when i had no clue of where she was. I needed to find her quickly before facing Kyle.We had different ways of uncovering truth but that was the only way i could go by in order not to let Delanie see the monster in me. That was why without thinking much further about it i kissed Delanie so I could find out the truth and at the same time not reveal my identity to her.And it worked out well. The kiss revealed everything to me down to the part that Delanie sold off her sister and Melanie signed another contract.I angrily left Delanie standing there on her own. If i had stayed there any longer then i would have torn her to shreds. That little girl has no idea what additional problems she just caused me. Of all the people that Melanie could have signed a
32"My girlfriend is coming over to stay at my place for three days straight. I don,t want her getting the wrong ideas if she sees you with me.Man this guy was impossible. It really didn't take him long to find another girl? I knew he was a player. Maybe even double dating."So you just want to abandon your friend at the time of her need? And it's all because of a recent girlfriend?" I asked him."Not as recent as you'd think her to be Delanie." Kelvin replied."So you've been double dating with Helena? Wow, that's a classic one." I said."Just let me come with you. I promise i will behave." I pleaded, even though it wasn't my thing."I'm sorry Delanie. But my final answer is no. You can't come because i can not risk it." Kelvin said and walked off.You think i would give up? Hell no. I followed him as he kept walking."Why are you following me?" he asked me."I'll keep following you till you change your mind." I replied.Kelvin put on an annoyed face an kept walking but i didn't sto
33My body weakened and it was like shock waves vibrated all round my body as i heard someone call my name. My heart beat faster and faster painfully and i wasn't sure if what i wanted was to turn around or to run out the door.Without turning to look at who it was i quickly calculated what the outcome would be. I would be caught either way so it's better i faced whoever called me but then how come someoine here knew my name?I turned only to see a wealthily dressed Kelvin looking at me with angry eyes."What the hell are you doing here?!" he asked me.I was so much surprised at his new appearance that it took me almost a minute to reply him. He looked even more handsome than minutes ago."Well?!" he yelled again.I shook my head, trying to snap out of it and only then could i speak."I came to save you but it seems you are doing much better here than i would think. What's going on?" I said to Kelvin."Thank you very much for your help. As you can see i am doing fine so if you don't m
34Kelvin looked absolutely speechless as he continued staring at me. I could even hear the person on the other side of the phone yelling hello at him. Kelvin later got back in his sense and continues speaking to whoever it was that he was on a call with but he closed the door and left.Hm. I wonder what's up with him."I guess he was just distracted by the call and got in the wrong room." Mary said."I'll show you to the guest room you'll be staying in." Mary said.Funny she's doing everything. Don't they have maids here? I haven't even seen a single maid since i came in."And here we are." Mary said opening the door to the guest room after we stopped walking."Wow Mary. It's amazing.""I know it is. Well, bye. I have something i have to do." Mary excused herself and now it's just me in the huge room.I fell unto the king sized bed excitedly, flung my smelly old clothes to the side and lay still, smiling at myself but then i remembered i had to think of a way to get Melanie out of th
35Someonne slid curtains open and the moonlight shone into the room i was in."Who are you?" I asked the one who still hadn't come into view. A beast walked out of the darkness of the shadows into the moonlight. I took two steps backward and fell on my butt to the ground. "P...Please don't... Don't harm me." I managed to say.The beast reached out for me with it's claws but i covered my face with my arms. "Go away!" I screamed with all my might. I heard a roar and then foot steps. I opened my eyes and the beast was no longer there. I couldn't help but have images of the best flashing in my head. Long twisted horns, red glaring eyes, fury masculine man like body, black in colour and clawed legs and hands, standing in front of me like a man. But where am i? I don't recognize this place. I got up and went unto the bed.I was weak from the stress and needed rest. I let out a yawn and closed my eyes hoping to shut out tonight's events from my head. I don't have any clue what that beas
