The bitch dared to repeat her words, and without a second thought, my shoe went flying across the room hitting her squarely on her face,“Ouch! You little whore!” She yelled before rushing towards me. I didn't wait for her to get to me before I attacked her as well. I knew I was late for work but I was upset as it was. All the anger I had been holding in because of what her father did to me came rushing in.How dare those motherfuckers try to sell me to some old hag? “You crazy bitch! You're the whore!” Literally, I had seen her several times in the club with men old enough to be her father. Useless thing pretending to be a saint in front of her parents. She held my hair like the bitch that she was and pulled it hard causing me to whine. My hand grabbed her by the neck and forced her on her knees. Her hands let go of my hair as I jumped on her and gave her a dirty slap. Our screams alerted the rest of them at home, causing them to run out, including Anna. I didn't want her seeing me

I tried to ignore his gaze filled with rage that I could clearly feel from where I was. I took another bottle of alcohol and poured it on my skin. The scream almost deafened my ears, hands reached out to touch me and I could feel the gaze of Mr Lance more intense, like he was coming for a kill. He asked me earlier not to come to the club but I was very good at doing the opposite of what people wanted. I wasn't going to listen, he wasn't putting food on my table so he wasn't going to tell me to stop my work. He doesn't own me. These are words I kept telling myself as I danced, trying so hard to ignore his gaze. I hated the fact that he was not staring at me with the lustful look like yesterday. And as if enchanted, I stepped down from the bar and swayed my hips left and right, I made my way to his table with a bottle of drink in my hand. His eyes followed me till I stopped right in front of him, a smirk appeared on my lips, “Care for some?” I asked him but he didn't respond. I po

Lance's POVI stood outside the club waiting for her. I won't have her going home so late on her own again. This girl whom the moon goddess had given to me as a mate was just too stubborn. The very first time I noticed this was at the club yesterday, the sweet smell made me snap my head from the dancer I was watching earlier to the girl who came a bit late for her own Performance. My mouth almost hung in shock, how could the moon goddess give me a stripper as a mate? That wasn't what pissed me off, in fact, it was how she danced sexily for other men for money. My mate! I almost ran mad. I thought yesterday was worse until I met her today. That stubborn she-goat! How dare she do that with other hungry-looking men! How do I stop her from doing this with people?I knew all of a sudden that I had to protect her, I knew I couldn't leave Pennsylvania without taking her with me. She was my mate after all. It happened so quickly that I wondered why she hadn't noticed that I was her mate u

Maria J POV My mind could not stop wandering as I thought of the words they had said to me. They were the ones who told the old man about me and also gave out my identity. I knew there was no way they could have known, not when I was always in disguise. I knew they hated me, but was it enough for them to sell me out like that? I'll never do that to them. I thought we were partners. How could they do something so horrible?Crying right there wasn't because I was hurt by them, although they had thrown me to the ground when they caught me, I wasn't so hurt to have shed tears. I cried because I never expected that people I worked with would go to that extent to hurt me. They were monsters, wicked beasts! They sent the old man at me. I was so lost in thought, that I didn't know that I had gotten home. My fingers were clenched on my thighs, my eyes looking ahead of me when I heard him say, “See why you need to stop going there? It's not safe. You need to quit working there” Slowly, my

My mouth always puts me in trouble and today wasn't an exception. I watched James walk into the dressing room with a smirk as he clapped both hands together.“Gossiping during work hours. That's something the boss would love to hear” “Hey, can't you knock? What if we were naked?” Sofia spat in anger as she glared at the boy who casually walked closer like he didn't hear what Sofia had said.“What haven't I seen before?” James asked back, making me raise my brows. Was he serious? Why do I smell trouble from this boy?Seeing him just reminded me of the anger I had felt before I left home, bringing the anger back in. “I'll report you to Boss. You don't know privacy. I'll make sure you get fired for this!” I hissed and James chuckled. “Really? Report me? Go ahead, baby girl. And I'll gladly tell the boss what you three were discussing before I stepped in. Not only were you gossiping during work hours, but you were also speaking about Boss’s beloved wife. You all know how much the Boss
