"I love you, you love me, we are a happy family." Lydia said with a smile as she sat next to her brother on the hospital bed, she held his hand and creased it.
Her brother smiled in response and she smiled out tears, she hurriedly wiped it and smile.
"Are you feeling better?" She asked and he nodded, it was actually a lie though. Everyday her brother keeps feeling weak but he lies that he is okay to her just to make her feel better.
"Okay, you know I have to go now, it's night already." She said and he nodded.
She stood up and carried her bag, she kissed his forehead for over ten seconds before pulling away.
"I love you Henry." She muttered and he smiled, Lydia stood up and walked out of the hospital.
Lydia Anderson, a prostitute who is willing to do anything to save her dying brother 'Henry.'
Lydia is twenty twenty two years old while her brother is seventeen. Lydia and Henry are orphans who struggles to survive.
Their parents died in an accident and since then life seems cruel to them.
Lydia started being a prostitute when she discovered her brother had a brain tumor, she started working at a club then she discovered it is an easy way to get money and could easily let her pay for her brother's treatment.
All of Lydia's goal in life was to save her dying brother.
********
Lydia walked into the club and the girls smiled at her.
"Hey Lydia." One of them called and she smiled.
"Any new update?" Lydia asked as she and the girls head to the changing room.
"Nothing much, just heard some big men are coming to the club today." Another one answered as they changed their cloths.
"How rich?"
"Filthy."
"Sweet." Lydia smiled and put on her heels.
"Take this, it's the new pills, works better than others." A girl said and stretched it towards Lydia, she sighed and collect it.
"You do know how to use it right?"
"Yeah, sure." Lydia replied and nodded, the girls all head out and head back to the club.
The music was becoming louder as they got closer, immediately they walked in, men cheered as they all walked to them.
*******
"Easy man, easy." Lydia giggled as she and a man helped walked to his car.
"Am going to make you rich." He said drunkily and Lydia laughed.
They both entered his car and he drove to a hotel, the man booked a room and they head to it.
They got to the room and the man pinned Lydia to the wall, she struggled with him and he gave her a look.
"Will you just calm down? Let's have a drink."
"There is no need for that, let us do what we have to do."
"What? Hold on. If it's slow you will enjoy it." Lydia giggled and pushed him to the bed, Lydia noticed he wouldn't angry easily to what she said so she decided to be gentle and careful.
The man finally ordered the drinks after so much persuading, Lydia successfully drugged him and he slept off.
She sighed in relief and picked all the money she could find from him, she counted it and it wasn't up to a thousand dollars.
"Fuck!" She screamed and hit the table angrily.
"Fuck you!" She yelled at the sleeping man and burst into tears, she cried her eyes out before walking out. She took a taxi back to the club and walked in.
"Lydia." Their boss called and Lydia walked to them.
"Yes boss?"
"You are back early, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Are you sure? There are still some men left if the last one was bad."
"Don't worry, ma'am, I also have to check up on Henry."
"I understand, goodnight."
Only Lydia's boss knows the reason Lydia is into this job, she knows about her sick younger brother who needs money for surgery.
Lydia got into the changing room and changed into her clothes, she carried her bag and walked out, she said goodbye to her boss and exit the club.
She got to the hospital and walked into her brother's ward, she sighed and sat down on the chair next to his bed.
"Henry." She tapped him and he opened his eyes, he smiled on seeing her and she held his hand. Henry slowly lifted his free hand and creased her face, he touch her swollen eyes and frowned.
"Oh, am fine. Don't worry about that." She lied but Henry didn't seem satisfied with the response, he kept looking at her till a tear rolled down his eyes.
"No, no, please don't cry, am okay Henry."
"Am damn serious, nothing happened, please don't cry, you will make me cry." She said as her eyes got clouded with tears.
"Please don't cry." She muttered and he nodded, she wiped his tears and smiled.
"You should rest now, good night."
"Night Lydia." Henry said faintly and she smiled, she held her hand and placed her head on his bed, she cried as she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
**********
THE NEXT DAY
Lydia sat outside Henry's ward as the nurses cleaned him up and changed his clothes, it was never worst like this from the start, the more the treatments and surgery is delayed, the more it gets worst.
The nurses were finally done and Lydia walked into the ward to find him sitting up, she smiled happily and sat beside him on the bed.
"Are you okay?" She asked and he nodded.
"Just say something, anything."
"You... you look beautiful." He said but not too loud and she smiled happily.
"Thanks, are you feeling weak? I should get the doctor?"
"Am fine Lydia."
Lydia nodded and the doctor walked in, he smiled on seeing in the ward.
He did the routine check up on him and turned to Lydia.
"Can I see you outside?"
"Sure." Lydia responded and followed him.
They got out of the ward and the doctor turned to her.
"How fast are you saving up for his surgery?"
"Am trying my best doc."
"Well, you need to try harder cause he has just a few months left."
"What?"
"They are here boss." A guard said and bowed in front of him, he turned to them and the criminals gasped when they saw him.He ignored them and puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose repeatedly."Please sir, we are sorry. We really are sorry, we had no idea the goods were yours, if we had known we wouldn't have touched it, please spare our lives." One of them said and the others cried along, they are four in number and there was no assurance that one of them is going to leave there freely.The boss turned a guard and dropped the weed in his hands."Execute." He ordered and they shot them immediately, he walked past them and walked out of the warehouse.

She asked breathing heavily."Relax woman, we mean no harm." The short man replied and sat down while the three huge men stood behind him."Please sit." The man added and she slowly sat down."We mean no harm like I said earlier, we are here to talk business." "What business? This is a club." "Yeah, I know it's a club." "Okay?" "I will offer you a deal of five hundred million dollars if you or any of your workers can kill a man for me." "What?" "Of course I know you won't want to do it yourself so let's do it this way, I will give you ten million dollars and the person who will do the job five hundred million dollars." "What? Really?" She asked and the man nodded."Who... who is the person going to kill?" "Easy, Logan Griffo." "What? You mean the same Logan Griffo? The ruthless billionaire?" "Yes, sure." "But...
"It's morning Henry." Lydia said happily as her brother opened his eyes, he smiled and rolled his eyes."Morning." He replied and Lydia helped him sit up."Okay, the nurses will be here to clean you up, I have to go now, i might be back a little bit late today before I get back, is that okay?" "Sure." "Okay, bye." She replied and pecked his forehead before walking out. Lydia head straight to their apartment to freshen up, she got there and took her bath then changed her clothes. She walked out of her house and head to the club, she got there and met it empty, she frowned and brought out her ohone to call her boss (Miss Claire) when she noticed her sitting at with a man. She noticed huge men were all standing around the club then she looked outside and noticed the black cars outside. Miss Claire noticed her presence and waved at her, Lydia smiled and walked to her. She got to where they were and she greeted them, Miss Claire gave her a sign telling her to sit.She sat down the s
"What? Of course not." Lydia laughed nervously and he nodded."Whatever it is, just be good." "Sure." She replied and hugged him.They talked and played with each other till it was time for them to sleep, he slept before her and she watched him for a while before falling asleep.The next day, Lydia told Henry she had to leave and will be back at night, Henry only smiled in response and she walked out. She got home and took her bath, she brought out the box that contains the information of Logan Griffo."Okay, this morning, he is suppose to be heading to his company, all I have to do is get him to notice me." She muttered and walked to her little closet.She was about to pick a slutty wear but stopped."If I really want him to notice me, why don't I make a difference?" She muttered and smiled. She picked a baggy jean and a baggy shirt, she put it on and wore Henry's sneakers. She picked up a face cap and smiled.She looked at the information and went through it."If he doesn't notic
"A dollar?" Logan asked surprised."Yes, I want a dollar." "Okay, give her a dollar." He said to his bodyguard."No, I want it from you, from your personally, like from your pocket." "Sir, we should just teach this rascal some lesson so she won't stalk you anymore." "Who the hell are you calling a rascal?" Lydia yelled and stepped on the bodyguard's foot which made him groan in pain."Here." Logan said and stretched a dollar to her, she giggled happily and collected it."Thank you so much Logan, this one dollar will really do a lot." "If I see you around me again, I might be forced to do what am not suppose to.""Sure, have a nice day Logan." She said and waved, she showed her middle finger to the guards and walked out of the restaurant. "Who was that?" The CEO asked and Logan shrugged."I don't know, probably just a stalker." "Well a stalker can become a threat, you should eliminate her soon." "I will next time I see her, lets get back to what we were saying shall we?" "Oh, r
"It's nothing actually, I fell on my way here." "You really need to be careful, why are you dressed like this?" "Hmm, I just felt like cause I love it." She said and Henry chuckled."I know you are lying but I will let it go cause you don't want to talk about it." "Thanks." She replied and smiled."So Henry, starting from tomorrow I might not be coming to see you everyday." "What? Why?" "I will be busy and I will try to make time to come see you." "Are you abandoning me?" "What? No." "It's fine, I was just teasing you, I know you can't abandon me." Henry said and laughed, she sighed in relief and ruffled his hair."You should sleep after eating, it's necessary.""Sure.THE NEXT DAY "So I have to go now." "Yes, I know.""Wait, why did you not tell any of your high school friends? Aren't they worried?" Lydia asked and he sighed."It doesn't matter if they know or not, none of them cares." "But Stella does." "I broke up with her when I found out I had a brain tumor, I can't w
"So where is my office? What do I need to do? Aren't there any rules cause you have been staring at me ever since you have said am hired.""There are no much rules, just three." "Okay? What are the three rules?" "Number one is that you have to respect me and do anything I say cause it's obvious you don't give a damn about anyone, number two is that you have to be with me all the time until i tell you that you can leave. Number three is that you have to live with me." "What? What? And What?""If you can't do any of it then I can't offer you a job." "But you said am hired already and I can't live with you." "Okay, you will stay anytime I ask you to then, is that better?" "Yeah, how much is my pay?" "Name your price." "Three million dollars?" "Deal." He replied and Lydia smiled happily, she thought about it well and decided that she shouldn't dror depend on the money that she supposed to receive for killing him."So what do I need to do first, am I suppose to just chill and do
"You don't get it right? I have to leave now." "Why?" "It's personal, we both have nothing to do so let me go." "I'm not holding you down but you can't leave yet." "Okay, till when?" "11 pm.""What?" Lydia yelled."Don't yell." "I have somewhere I need to be and it's really important." "I said we are living 11 pm." "But we are not doing anything." "11 pm." She said sternly and she sighed before sitting.********It was finally 11 and Lydia sighed in relief, they both stood up and walked out of the office. "You should get here early tomorrow, if you are late you are going to be punished."Lydia just sighed as her thoughts were clouded with what lie to tell Henry."Do you know how to lie?" She suddenly asked him as they walked out of the company and head towards the car."Lie?" Logan asked."Yes, never mind anyway." She said and walked away, she took a taxi and bought some junk food with the little money left with her.She got to the hospital and walked in, she walked into his
