chapter 5

He pulled her with force causing her to yelp in pain, taking the duvet on the bed he covered her body and then pushed her out of the room. "I am being good by covering you, your lucky they won't be the next time. I don't want to see you near my house or anywhere close to me." taking some cash, he threw it at her and shut the door with a loud bang on her face.With shaking legs and hands, she picked up the money and left clutching the duvet on her body.Meanwhile, Laura is beyond happy, her mother was taking her out just the both of them.She ties her blonde hair into a ponytail, her brown eyes stare at the little mirror in her room, and she smiled stretching her beautiful pink lips."Laura hurry up, we don't have all day." She heard her mom yell from downstairs, giving herself one final look at the mirror, she hurriedly went down to meet her mother. Her beautiful yellow flower gown swayed from side to side."Sorry, mom, I didn't mean to waste time. "her mom just smiled and stared at her lovingly."let's go?" she asked her and she nodded in response. Sandra was not at home, she had gone to a party last night and hadn't returned home.They board a taxi, Laura had a broad smile on her face. The smile on her face faltered when the taxi stopped in a creepy environment, the people there look like rogues. She held her mother's hand her eyes kept darting from place to place, she felt uneasy."Mom, what are we doing here?" she asked her mom who didn't bother to answer her question, she just kept pulling her inside a shabby-looking building.They got into the building, Laura's eyes narrowed when she heard the sinful noises coming from the rooms inside the house, she isn't stupid to know what is happening behind these closed doors.Though the building looks shabby outside, the inside is very different. Though the is not much to see except a long corridor with doors on each side. There were eight doors four on each side, the walls were painted pink.Before she could ask her mom why they were there, a sharp voice was heard accompanied by the clicking sound of hills.The woman had a doll face, it was evident that she had done plastic surgery on her face, her boobs were huge, and her hips were just the right size. She looked like an hourglass."Pauline you're finally here, I've been waiting for you like forever." she hugs her mother kissing both sides of her cheeks...The woman then turned to Laura, her eyes scanned her from top to bottom. Opening her pink lips she said "not bad, she is truly a beauty. You never cease to amaze." Laura's stepmother smiled showing off her pearly white teeth."Of course she is, I always keep to my end of the bargain." she chuckled at the end of the sentence."Yeah, let's see her quality" the woman pulled Laura to her side, before Laura could register what was happening in her mind, her skirt was pulled down followed by her underwear."Wait stop that!" she cried out, luckily they were in a room."Mom please make her stop." Pauline just ignored her, turning deaf ears to her cry and call.The woman inserted her index finger into her sex, she hummed in approval. Virgin, nice. You just earned yourself a bonus." she pulled out her finger and clean it with a tissue.She flicked her fingers and a bulky looking man walked with a briefcase, he gave it to Pauline whose eyes beamed when she saw it."Twenty million as discussed, here is your bonus." she tossed a brown envelope to her. After making sure the money was complete, Pauline woke up to leave."Mom, please don't leave me here, I thought we were okay" she cried out following her mother after pulling up her underwear and skirt.Pauline ignored her, she shook hands with the woman and opened the door to leave after saying "I hate you with everything in me, your going to stay here forever, enjoy your new life Laura." she left.Laura dashed through the door, she ran as fast as she could. Pauline was surprised when she ran passed her. Tears streamed down her cheeks and her fragile heart pounded in her chest but she didn't stop running.She turned to look at the distance between her and the building but to her surprise, five men were chasing her. It didn't take time for them to get a hold of her and pull her back inside the building, she was locked in a room with no light.Alexander just finished his business for the day, his client paid him handsomely for the cocaine he sold. He was on his way home when he received a call from Dexter,"Hello Dexter, any news?" he asked the man on the other side of the phone."Boss, she has been sold." at first Alex didn't understand what Dexter was talking about until it hit him like a rock on the head."To whom? I will kill any man who dares to touch her before I do." he snarled"She was sold to lady Poppy. I think she is going to be auctioned and not being used as a prostitute in the brothel." Dexter said, he stood outside the building looking at the window of a room where he could see a small figure who has coiled herself into a ball and is crying."How sure are you?" Alex asked, he loosen the tie on his neck, and ran his hand through his ink-black hair."Poppy just twitted 'Big sale tomorrow, we have a special I think Laura is the special." Alex could feel his blood boil out of anger."Keep an eye on her, I can't go there today because I am out of time but I am on my way, I will be there by tomorrow." Alex disconnected the call, he rushed to his hotel room and packed his bags, and left.Meanwhile, inside the dark room, Laura had coiled herself into a ball, her pale cheeks were stained with tears.She was tired of screaming and banging on the door, she felt weak and tired, and her blonde hair was everywhere on her face.A lady with a great figure entered the room with a tray of food late in the evening, she had a smirk on her face."Eat up Princess, tomorrow is your big day." Lifting her heavy head, Laura looked at her pleadingly, her eyes were begging her to save her."Please help me get out of here, I don't want to be here." a fresh batch of warm tears spilled out of her brown eyes."Help you? your lucky you are not going to live here as a prostitute like the others but then let's pray the person who buys you is a good person with compassion." she laughed at the end of her sentence.Laura couldn't believe her ears, she is going to be sold again to another person. Her world is crumbling right in front of her and she can do nothing about it."Please help me get out of here let me go" she held her legs begging for mercy."Listen to me bitch, lady Poppy doesn't pity, you are going to stay here for as long as she wants you to." The girl left after dropping the tray of food. Laura stared at the tray of food with no appetite, her heart grew cold, and her eyes held no tears to shed, she looked lifeless and abandoned."If only you didn't die," she muttered holding a locket chain on her neck, her eyes looked distant...
