Chapter 11. Sherry’s POV – Contract
Here, this is the contract that you need to sign! Right at the end!”
A woman clad in nothing but a leather bikini came to us after like half an hour.
Sarah was still holding onto me. She had been rolling her eyes over at me constantly for the past thirty minutes.
“I had no idea Sherry the mess you were getting into was so deep. I was tossing my guesses between a psycho lover or a
passionate stalker who liked playing with their games. But this is a psychopath mafia you got yourself girl! I don’t even know if I could call him human!”
She didn’t need to tell me that he was a red flag. The darkest crimson to be precise. But I was going through the contract nevertheless. I had no idea what ‘job’ was being offered.
“Seriously? Why are you even looking at that…’
She started with a high pitch but her voice subsided as she saw him come near. She literally slid behind me.
“So, what do you think?”
He asked me with a wink!
“I don’t understand what this is all about? Are you offering to buy me? Like a slave?” Sarah hadn’t had the chance to glance at the papers. I could hear her choke on her own breath at the words I uttered.
This man was after my body all along. But he didn’t want an one night stand, he wanted a toy
in his possession.
“Not quite!”
He chuckled.
This is not what slavery was like as a baby girl. You can trust me! I have a very close perspective on that subject! ”
I dunno what his words did to me but I think it created a black hole in my pit. My soul was getting sick in the area around my navel.
I don’t know what was with him but no other man ever gave me butterflies. “I need people around to do errands. I would like your addition to the list. I do not believe in free labor so everybody working here is contracted. You basically do whatever I tell you to for ten years. In return I offer you a six figure and look after your father’s needs!
He crossed his leg and sat beside me. Sarah was pulling at the back of my collar so much that it was choking me.
“So you are paying me a six figure to sleep with you, shoot people …”
“On the contrary you will be required to do everything but those. I have specially trained, qualified forces at my service for that. You are but a naive novice. You need to learn the trade before dreaming of scaling those heights!”
I was too stunned to speak.
He not only belittled me but also glorified indecency and crime at the same time. Sarah was constantly writing ” NO… NO… NO” , in capital letters with her fingers on my back.
“I will go to Sherizad. Remember this contract is null and void if you choose to walk out today without signing the paper. Take your time. Talk to your friend. I will send some food and drinks. My girls will be attending you from here onwards!”
He straightened his suit and walked out. He
looked awfully like a business man walking out of their boardroom.
“SHERIZAD NO! You are not even thinking of signing that! It’s bond labor. In an organized criminal’s den… you know… ”
Sarah leapt at me the moment we were alone. Do you think they will just let us go after knowing about their secrets?”
I raised my brow.
“Besides, who under the heavens will pay me a six figure Sarah? Even if I sell myself I would not get that. I will put a clause in here … “.
I pointed at the third column.
They will not be able to force me with their illegal affairs. Other than that I would clean his poop if that meant my father got a chance at living. I am sick and tired of living as the ‘ Dump yard girl ‘ Sarah.
Perhaps this is my ticket out of there!”
Was I tearing up?
I didn’t know but my speech was surely emotional.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Sarah finally let go of her grip on me. “Give it another thought girl!
I looked at the two women, again, barely clad, walking in with trays of refreshments.
“You got some wine?”
The audacity. The girl Sarah was lecturing me a moment ago, now she was already enjoying the hospitality.
“Sure! ”
The girl smiled and clapped three times. A little boy ran inside with a wine jar.
I was shocked. What was a child doing in a place like that?
“Here you go!
He was full of life . Bubbling. Almost like a fresh air, his smile swiped away all the gloom around with a quick swish. “You want me to pour it for you?
“How old are you?”
I snatched the jar from his hand as I asked the question.
“Ten, I am turning ten this month!”
He smiled with all his teeth out.
“How can you make a ten year old do this?” I turned towards the women standing there. It was disturbing.
“Oh no! They make me do nothing. I was freezing to death in the northern mountains. No food, no clothes, no families. Boss brought me back, wrapped in his own overcoat. They have been feeding me, clothing me and I can do whatever I want! ”
He looked so proud of his achievement. “What about school?
Don’t you go to school? ”
I asked.
The boy paused for a moment, looked at the women, then the three of them broke into a terrible laugh.
“What is so funny? A child his age must go to school. What you have done for him is no excuse for him missing out on education!” The boy walked up to me, sassy.
He picked up his collar.
Deepened his voice.
“No school was built that could hold me sister!”
I was left blinking. Several times in one moment.
