Trouble with love

Her eye widened. What? Does she mean she’s been living this kind of life ever since? She rather dies than be one of them.

” I’m not going to be a prostitute. I’ve got a bright future ahead of me. I don’t belong here”

” Little girl, no one wants to be here. You have to accept it or Viola will make you accept it the hard way. She’s more dangerous than you think. She knows various Mafia Lords and drug lords. She’ll deal with you till you’re broken. I don’t think your young mind can withstand such torture” advised Lola

” No no… I’m not going anywhere with you. I want to go home” she weeps.

They try to make her see reasons but she wasn’t listening. She was fantasizing about her dream that has been crumbled. She still thought she’s dreaming. She squats down refusing to follow them.

Mademoiselle Viola was furious she defied her orders and ordered her to be locked up in a stinky cell. She was there for days without food and water but she endured it. She rather dies than be a prostitute. Viola wasn’t going to let that happen cos her money will be wasted. She couldn’t punish her further because she hasn’t auctioned her yet. She was big cash for her. Still, she found another way to punish her that was when Ava volunteered to talk to her. She took a bowl of soup and trialed to her cell.

” Hello there. I’m Ava. What’s your name? She asked politely in a sweet tone

” Go away. I’m not going to be like you. I’ll not sell my body, my dignity for money. It can’t be my profession” she uttered in a low tone barely hearable cos of thirst and hunger

“Like me? That’s ironic. Should I tell you a story? My father was a politician. he was about to be a senator. Then a gang raided him. Killed him molested me then sold me to Viola. I was about to graduate. I had a dream also but there’s nothing I can do. You’ve to think. There’s more to life than this. One day I’m going to leave here. Avenge my family so what if I have to sacrifice my body. Men are dogs anyway. I have no intention of getting married. I think you should think about it. Don’t you want to find out who sold you and why they did it? I’m curious to know the devil that could ruin such a thing promising future. men aren’t worth it. We see different kinds of men every day. They’re cheats and killers. Our bodies are ours. We shouldn’t worry about how it’s used but why it’s been used. ” She ended what seemed like a sermon to Audrey who wasn’t ready to sell herself

” I can’t. I’m just sixteen. I’m not ready. I don’t belong here” she sobbed

” I know and I’ll try and help you. You won’t spend your entire life here. I promise. Let the way they trample on your body remind you of your dreams. That’s what keeps me going. I don’t know what they did to my siblings. They’re the reason I keep up with all of this. I implore you to do the same. I promise to be there for you as a big sister. ” She whimpered holding her hands

” I am scared . ” she sobs

” I’m here. Viola will try to break you but I’ll be here to restore all that. Just act as she succeeded. Serve the men. You’ll get used to it once you face your first client. ” She coaxed wiping her tears

” I didn’t ask for this. My aunt told me to wait for her. I wouldn’t happen to stay up late. ” She cried as Ava made a mental note of it.

” I’m Audrey Zachery by the way. You’re right. I shouldn’t probably find out who sold me and why. I wasn’t on a lonely road. I was on my way to buy some groceries when I was caught. It doesn’t seem right”

Ava tried to ask more but she didn’t spill cos she doesn’t trust her yet besides Viola might have sent her.

” C’mon you need some food and water and a good bath. ” Ava was five years older than Audrey she felt pity for her. Viola was going to have her gang-raped and she couldn’t allow that. Audrey was very young which made her overprotective of her and perhaps the youngest of them.

” Does it hurt? ” She asked

” Only for the first time. You’ll like it as time goes by. It’s pleasurable and.. you’ll get it soon ” she said shyly seeing her croaked faceProperty © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Viola enters the cell and was glad she could talk to her.

” Now. You need preparation. You need not know the rules and etiquette of being a slut but I call it something else. Just because you sell your body doesn’t make you less important than those pompous ladies out there. They’re prostitutes too. Learn to stand up for yourself. Don’t let anyone belittle what you do and if they do, raise your head high and put them in their place. Do you understand me? I guess it’ll take time to teach you those etiquette” she added checking her out

Audrey felt disgusted listening to her justifying their practice. She should be in college fighting for her dreams. She was led out of the Stinky cell and was taught etiquette as Viola calls them. She was given a tour by Lola and Vanessa and was getting ready for the auction.
