“You and your brother have been a liability to me ever since your parents died. I've done enough but I can't do anymore than this.
You should have stayed at that job and at least brought some money home for me” Her aunt retorted and Josephine silently cried looking at the two hefty men in ther room.
“Aunt I promise I'll go out there and find another job right now. Mary has promised to help me so please don't do this to me because my brother has just me” Josephine pleaded again.
“Even if you find a job, they'll just pay you peanuts but these men here have given me enough money just for a virgin so think of it Josephine Darling.
You can get to work at their club and earn instant money every day and you can even take care of your brother's hospital bills” Her aunt said with a smile on her face.
“No aunt, I don't want to do this. I've been paying for my brother's bills all alone and I'll find another way to do it but not through this way”Josephine answered.
“But Josephine Darling, you can even be a rich man's mistress if luck shines on you. I actually don't care because the club will save me the stress of accommodating you and providing meals for you” her Aunt replied.
"Does she even have a heart?" Josephine looked at her in astonishment but she summoned courage and grabbed her leg pleading
“No aunt please don't do this to me. I will pay for the accommodation and meals everyday please” Josephine pleaded but her aunt pretended like she never heard her.
“Take her away”Her aunt shouted and Josephine screamed.
“No Please don't do this to me, Please I beg of you, Please” I
Josephine screamed and shouted as one of the men carried her over his shoulder then her aunt even hurried to open the door for them.
Josephine still begged as they put me in the van but at some point the men got tired of her constant shouts so they hit her with something on her head which made her pass out because the last thing she saw was darkness, absolute darkness.

“Mum you have been behaving strangely lately tell me what's wrong with you and why does your face look like you haven't been sleeping?” Sharon asked Esther worriedly as they were both in the sitting room.
Esther only shook her head without saying anything but she was speaking in her mind
“I'm so scared, so scared” Last night Felix came to her room and tried having sex with her. She didn't know how he got into the room because it was locked and when she refused he began to hit her.
That was the first time he ever raised his hands on her and her whole body was filled with bruises that's why she wore a long garment
"He was like an entirely different person last night" Esther muttered Inwardly.
“Mom tell me honestly what is wrong?” Sharon probed knowing there's something wrong with her mother. Ever since that strange man her father refers to as his his brother walked into their house, her mother has been acting strangely.
Esther looked around and was about to talk to Sharon when Felix suddenly came out of the kitchen then he smiled at her shocked expression and did a shut-your-mouth sign followed by a killing sign and Esther hurriedly shut her mouth again.
Not quite long, the doorbell sounded and when a maid opened the door, it turned out to be a very angry looking Fyneface and few police force then Esther shook with fear silently gasping at Fyneface.
“Call Mr Badmus and Mrs Kate right now” Fyneface ordered and
Immediately they came down with Mrs Kate wondering what was going on until one of the police men came forward and said,
“Mrs Kate, you are under arrest for the murder of Mr and Mrs Fyneface's unborn baby” Everyone was shocked most especially Mrs Kate then Felix smiled observing Fyneface while Esther breathe in relief.
“It was only your baby but very soon your wife will follow” Felix thought viciously.
******************************
Fiona walked out of her room yawning and she looked like she didn't have a wink of sleep last night so she walked to Newstyle's room in her pyjamas and even though her appearance looked messy, she was still cute.
She walked into the room and was surprised to find it empty beause Newstyle was always the last person to wake up so when she turned and wanted to go to the playroom, she heard voices coming from the sitting room.
Entering the sitting room, she was surprised to see Newstyle and Felicia arguing.
“Sister in-law, I already told you that brother went for an impromptu meeting but he'll be back soon so please wait for him” Fiona heard Newstyle say to Felicia.
“Let me go, he wouldn't go out without informing me so something must be wrong somewhere. He didn't even wait for me to wake up before leaving” Felicia complained trying to bypass Newstyle then Fiona frowned.
"Where did cousin go this morning? I thought he was on leave to take care of cousin in-law" Fiona said but then she thought of something.
"What if he saw the messages on my phone? Did he somehow find out about Paschal and I?" Fiona thought as she silently gasped because Fyneface may not approve of their relationship.
“Sister in-law you have not fully recovered yet please stay at home and brother will be here soon” Newstyle's voice brought her out of her reverie then she walked into the sitting room and suddenly hugged Felicia and Newstyle did a please save me expression to her.
"Does he know where cousin is? I want to know if he truly found out about I and Paschal but I have to help Newstyle distract Felicia but what should I do now?" Fiona thought.
“Cousin in-law please come with me” Fiona said pulling her out of the room then Newstyle followed her confused and they stopped in front of a room then fiona opened the door.
As soon as they entered, Felicia's eyes sparkled with excitement and Newstyle silently thanked her as she had successfully distracted her. Felicia picked one of the dolls and laughed excitedly.
“So many kitties” she said excitedly.
"I don't think she has truly fully recovered because she's behaving differently right now, like a kid" Newstyle said but Fiona glared at him.
"At least my credit card was still useful but you're going to pay for every single penny you spent on this dolls" Fiona assured him.
***************************
Esther watched happily as the police led Mrs Kate away then she smiled with relief knowing that she wasn't the one that they arrested.
As she turned, she noticed Felix saying something into his phone.
"What is this devil up to now?"she thought silently. meanwhile Felix didn't even notice her as he was too busy saying something into his phone.
"He's overprotective of that bitch and seem to love her a lot so make sure you don't get caught when you execute the plan-" Felix said as he sent a voice note carefully then he smiled and walked away not noticing Esther who was observing him.
Meanwhile the police officers bundled Mrs Kate into their van without at least hearing what it was she was saying.
“Do you really think I can do this to Felicia?” Mrs Kate asked Fyneface sadly when they were all in the police van but Fyneface ignored her question and turned to look at the sergeant.
“Remove the handcuffs or have you forgotten?”Fyneface asked and the sergeant nodded and hurriedly removed the handcuffs then Mrs Kate looked at them confused until Fyneface knelt down and held her hands.
“Ma, I know you would never do that to Felicia because she's just like your daughter but I had to do what I did” Fyneface apologized.
“I don't understand you and what's all this about?” Mrs Kate asked still confused.
“Ma, Esther killed our baby” Fyneface said looking sad and she gasped in shock.
“What!!?” Mrs Kate asked in shock.
“Yes and I know she's working for someone but we don't know who the person is yet. That person wants Felicia dead so I had to take you away from that place because once I finally start my own revenge war none of them will be left out.
All of them there except you are guilty” Fyneface said and Mrs Kate looked at Fyneface feeling so happy that at least Badmus did one good thing for Felicia since her mother died by getting her married to the best man, the one suitable for her just and only for her.
************************
Victor on the other hand walked into the club dejectedly.
"It was just a waste of time and energy going to the office when I know I couldn't get any work done. I mean I just spent the whole day in office browsing and searching for Josephine on social media.
I searched and saw many but none... None of them is my Jose" Victor chuckled at his thoughts.
"Did I just call her my Jose? Is this feeling what they call love? I can't believe I actually taunted and made a mockery of Fyneface at the hospital and I even told him I would never fall in love but where's that Victor now?
The one that never believed in love because the Victor standing in front of this club right now has fallen helpless and hopelessly into that deep shit called love.
Just one sight, Just one moment of being close to her was all it took. Just her perfect body that fits right in my arms, her innocent beauty was all it took for me to fall pretty hard for her" Victor said as he walked in and immediately proceeded directly to the bar and ordered a lot of drinks because he knows he will be wasted in the club that night so he even wrote down the name of his chauffeur for the bartender incase he wouldn't be able to make it and they were about to close because he intends to forget this hollow and shallow pain caused by the empty space in his heart.
"I need only this one night to forget about her but I know tomorrow I'll remember her and miss her as much as I do right now. Where are you Josephine? My sassy little seductress” Victor lamented.
************
Meanwhile Josephine was bundled to the club unconsciously but after some hours of sleeping, she opened her eyes slowly and looked around the room.
"Ouch, my head feels so heavy. Where am I?" Josephine asked as she slowly sat up then she remembered all that has happened. "Aunt is so evil but that cash she got from selling me to this club will surely finish someday and I'll wait patiently for the day she will come to me crying and begging for mercy.
"I feel like that day isn't too far but if I don't find a way to escape from this club right now, I fear that day may never come" Josephine said to herself then she stood up and gasped when she noticed that her clothes has been changed to a skimpy slutty dress and it has holes all over showing the sexy lingerie she was wearing.
"Who changed my clothes?" Josephine asked with a frown in horror at the thought that one of those men may have seen her nakedness.
She looked up in fear as the door suddenly opened and a lady about her age or a little bit older than her walked in then she sighed in relief that it wasn't any of those men.
“Mistress wants to see you now that you are awake” The lady said rudely and walked out indicating she should follow her then Josephine sighed and followed her since she had no choice.
As Josephine walked, she took note of everywhere planning her escape but then she suddenly passed by the bar area then she gasped silently seeing a familiar figure.
"It's that pervert and he might be able to help me" Josephine said as she hurriedly walked towards him and tried talking to him
“Do you remember me sir? please help me out I'm in serious trouble and I need your help to get out of this place now” Josephine pleaded but it seemed like he didn't hear because he ignored her then later shouted at her
“Get away from here bitch” Victor screamed at her then she shudder feeling hurt.
"Doesn't he recognize me anymore or was it because I didn't accept his offer that's why he doesn't want to help me now?" Josephine thought as she wiped off her tears and left there then she ran into that lady who scowled
“Where were you bitch? I actually thought you had escaped” The girl yelled
“No, I won't dare. I only lost my way” Josephine answered.
"I know even if I tried, the bouncers won't let me out"She muttered inwardly and followed the lady to meet the owner of the club who frowned that she was already dressed.
“Why did you dress up bitch!?” The owner of the club asked shouting at Josephine.
“Ma, I don't know who dressed me up like this” Josephine answered feeling a little bit scared.
“Go back to the room because you won't perform with them today as a special guest already paid for you. You have to get ready for tomorrow night” The lady replied and dismissed her then Josephine sighed in relief that she still has until tomorrow to escape.
As she left, she heard the lady say to someone on the phone
"Felix, she's ready for tomorrow” The lady said confidently and Josephine stood in wonder
"Who's Felix? Is he the client she was talking about? Maybe he might turn out to be a nice man. But if I don't find a way to escape tommorow before he comes, I'll beg him to save me" Josephine thought as she walked back into the room
******************
Fyneface in the other hand got back home only for him to be ignored by Felicia. she refused to say anything to him so he wondered what he's done wrong this time.
“Kitty come on, stop being mad at me. I hate it when you ignore me” Fyneface said pleadingly but Felicia ignored him as she just focused on carrying some stuffed kitty doll around then he glared at the doll angrily.
"I'll freeze Newstyle's account for buying this stupid doll that has taken away all my wife's attention.
“Where have you been? and don't lie to me because I know you didn't go to work today” Felicia said to Fyneface
“No but I went for a meeting”
“So how did mum get there? Was mom invited to your meeting?” Felicia asked sarcastically.
“Kitty you know you are Mi Amor” Fyneface said sweetly and Felicia pouted
