Elena’s POV “Stop being a wet blanket and have some fun!” Ruby half shouted into my ears. After I had college down and ruby said she couldn’t reach Henry, I became worried again.While I stood quietly at a corner, Katrina danced to get heart content. That girl was on fire. As usual we were welcomed by the dark lights of the club, the loud music, and the almost naked bodies that were littered all over the place. I took in a deep breath and smiled. So as I moved towards the dance floor and looked around me. I am not oblivious of the fact that, I am surrounded by people I have never seen. I Love how anonymous the club is. You don’t need to know anyone. You just need to have fun.The club was once my forte. It was a place I always go often, whenever the problems were getting to my head. I always went with Claire. Ruby tapped my arm and spoke some words. I didn’t get to hear her because of the music. Then she leaned in and shouted.“What other drink Will you have?!”The first thing

Katrina’s POVBefore I could scream, rough hands clamped over my mouth and pulled me into darkness.“Somebody help!” I screamed. I was not ready yet. I don’t know the plans or anything. Hercules, Henry somebody should help. The car was dark. No light. Why was it this dark? I knew I was going to be the one, who would do this but taking me and thrusting me in the middle of danger was not part of the plan. Now I know the difference, saying something and doing it are absolutely two different things. I thrashed and kicked with all my might, but the grip was relentless, the cloth over my mouth stifling my cries. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I was carried away from everything familiar.“Stop moving Katarina or I will blow your brains out” this deep voice said from beside me. I stilled immediately. Fear filled me up. There was something about that voice that made me so scared. Russian mafia men were known not to bluff, especially with the way Hercules had said it. Especially if it was Di

Meanwhile, back at home, a lot was going on. Especially for Sabrina, the nosy, gossipy maid.“Wait what? I didn’t get that” Sabrina sat up straight. That was a lie. Sabrina heard what he had said. Sabrina just didn’t want to believe him. Her heart raced as she awaited her fate. The manager took in a deep breath.“I’ m sorry Sabrina we just have to let you go” he said as he looked away.“WHAT!” “I’m sorry Sabrina” he stood up and went to the small office window, staring out in the open. “Sir please I need this job, I have already apologized for the incidence. It’s been over, since 2 weeks” she begged. He finally walked back to his seat, he loosened his tie and cleared his throat “We know about that and that is why, we gave you a little raise on your salary” he glanced at the envelope and back at her. As she sat there, she kept pinching myself. In hopes that this was some nightmare but the more the pain came, the more the real it seemed.God! The debtors, mum’s health, the rent. Sab

Elena’s mother, Elaine on the other hand was as restless as a child. Despite all her mother’s pleading to be calm and wait for the police, she still went to meet with Lucas, her ex-husband.Lucas had specifically asked the maid to direct her to his room. Elaine got into the bathroom. She decided to take a quick shower, so as to evade any awkward moment with Lucas. As she got in, she eyed the bathtub. Her legs were so tired and she badly wanted a massage.“I’ll make it snappy” she said to herself as she took off her towel and got into the tub. And just as she wanted, the hot tub was soothing to her skin. She sunk in deeper and let out a long sigh. Elaine stayed in the tub and didn’t know when she slept off. She was awoken by a loud bang. She jerked up, splashing water all over the bathroom. She ran for the door. It was Lucas. Her heart began to beat so loud, she hoped he didn’t hear. He jerked his head and their eyes met. In that split second, she wanted to disappear. “There you ar

The moon shone brightly that might as they prepared to leave for the club.Everyone had strapped on and they headed for the underground club. This time Henry didn’t need an invitation. Hercules was the invitation. After few traffic stops, they were in the underground club. The prominent mafia men in the club raised an eyebrow as soon as they saw Hercules in the club.“What is he doing here?” They asked amongst themselves.“Maybe he wants to buy just like us? Maybe he is now a convert” one of them said.Henry saw a man stare intently at them as they took their Seat. The man walked to someone and whispered to him. Henry turned to Hercules. Hercules nodded.Immediately the lights went off and some of the place was elevated and turned to a podium.The voice this time was that of a man.“Good evening everyone. You are welcome to this month’s Auction. We will beginning by showing the exhibits” the voice said.The podium gave way for a glass like tube to come up. The light was on inside
