One Night Only

LILLIE

After getting out of that crazy guy’s car, I got into my house as fast as I could, locking the door behind me, so he wouldn’t follow me and try to get in. Just thinking about it gave me the creeps.

That man did not give me confidence, but the truth is that I was very intrigued to know more about him, maybe the crazy one was another one for thinking that way. I had arrived home on time, they still hadn’t brought my niece and I had time to prepare something to eat. But before doing so, I send a message to Mika to let her know that I was already at home, we had arranged to meet here, I wanted her to know about my work at the club and my mother’s situation.

Half an hour later I had already prepared something to eat for my dear niece and I had also saved something for Alex. Sandy had already been brought in and was in her room doing homework, she was a very dedicated and obedient girl.

Minutes later, the doorbell rings and I go over to make sure it is my friend and not those guys. Verifying that it is Mika, I open the door. She greets me with a big bear hug. I invite her in and we head to the living room so we can be comfortable and have a good chat.

“So you’re going back to Dark side? “Mika asks.

He means Julie’s club.

“Yes. “I nod. “I need the money badly.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I understand you. But since you told me about your mother, do you think you’ll be able to raise the money soon?

I snort just remembering that I only have less than a week to raise so much money that I don’t even have a quarter of it.

“I still don’t know.

“You have to think well how to get it, I will help you, we will ask for support, and I will also give you what I have saved. It’s not much, but it must be worth something.

I smile when I hear her words, she always supports me, she never leaves me swimming alone in my problems. That’s why I value her friendship so much.

“Thank you, you were the best. “I take her hand to squeeze it a little.

” I know” she replies with a silly arrogance.

I guffaw at her sass, she’s always like that.

“I have something else important to tell you. “I change my countenance to a serious one, she puts all her attention on me. “It’s about that guy” she wrinkles her nose in bewilderment. “The mafioso.

Her eyes widen with astonishment.

“You mean the Devil!” she says in alarm.

“Yes” I affirm.

“What did that guy do to you, did he approach you again? “He asks me quickly. “Tell me you didn’t see him again.

I take a breath before speaking, I know this is going to bother him.

“He came back. “I say, and she takes her hand to her mouth to cover a scream. “Calm down, this time he didn’t force me to do anything. “I try to reassure her with my words but they don’t work. “He didn’t kidnap me or anything, he just wanted to talk to me and propose something…

She doesn’t let me go on.

“What?” she says annoyed. “You had to see yourself denied. As much as he is a dangerous mafioso, you can’t let him pull you around at his whim, you would be giving him the reason that he always comes out on top.

I deny, I signal him to stop and let me talk.

“I didn’t do it for that reason, I just didn’t want to end up like last time or worse. “I say. “You don’t know how terrified I was to think that he would hurt me. If I had refused and put up resistance, maybe now I would have fulfilled his wish.

I get a lump in my throat just thinking about what he told me he wanted to do with me.

“And what did he want then?” he asks.

“He came to offer me a deal.

“What kind of deal?” she sounds worried.

I salivate before I dare to answer.

“He offered me… “I pause for a moment, Mika’s eyes kept looking at me,” he offered me sex in exchange for money.

I manage to say it, but my friend’s gaze opens wider and seemed to spark with anger.

“What the hell! – she jumps to her feet. “He wants you to be his whore!” she screams uncontrollably.

I stand up to make her lower her voice, as Sandy might hear her.

I stand up to get her to lower her voice, as Sandy might hear her.

“Shhh!” I say with my finger to her lips, “Sandy is in her room, she might hear.

She takes a deep breath as she stops in the middle of the room, as she had been spinning around like crazy.

“I hope you didn’t accept” she says and looks at me.

“Don’t you know me. “I answer irritated.

“Sorry” he grabs my shoulders and looks at me “It’s just that with the situation you’re going through with your mom, I thought that…

I interrupt her and sit down from her grip to move away.

“I may be needed, but listen well” he pointed a finger at her. “I would never come my body, let alone my dignity. I thought you knew me.

I fold my arms indignantly. She approaches me.

“I’m a fool for believing you would be able to, but I didn’t think so because of that, but because I know what your family means to you and that’s why I hesitated. Please believe me.

He was right, even I came to doubt me, a few minutes after he proposed me that absurd deal. I was capable of doing anything for my family, or so I thought until I denied his proposal. Maybe again he was thinking about me, about my condition and not about those I loved. But I wasn’t going to let any man, let alone that guy, take the most valuable thing of my person, my virginity and my dignity.
