Episode 1
As I laid on my bed, feeling restless and downcast, my mind took me back to the previous events that happened last night.
My name is Gabriella, I lost my parents at a very tender age, I was raised by my grandmother, she passed on three years ago, and ever since then things hadn’t been the same with me. Things were very hard and feeding became almost impossible. I tried making money the right way, but it seemed harder than I thought.
I was fed up, I decided to meet Rose, my childhood friend, Rose was considered the hottest chic in town, she had two cars and lived in a well furnished mansion, she had everything a woman would ever ask for, and obviously money was not her problem.
I met her on her way going out, and after much pleasantries, she took me into her mansion and demanded to know why I had to visit her so late in the night. I told her my problems, and how things have been difficult with me ever since my grandmother died. She kept quiet for a while, and the first thing she said after a long pause was if I was a virgin. I shook my head in the negative, I mean how would I be a virgin when I had a boyfriend years back, we broke up two years before my grandmother died.
She looked me from head to toe and kept complimenting my beauty, I wasn’t really interested in the compliment, all I wanted was a clue on how to make money just like her. She eventually stopped with the compliment and advised me to use what I have to get what I want. In confusion, I asked her what she meant by that, and she opened up to tell me that she was into pr0stitution. I wasn’t shocked, I expected it, I mean how else would she make so much money if not sleeping around with men.
I told her I was ready for it, I didn’t really care what type of job it was, as long as it put food on my table. She smiled and complimented my courage. She told me she was on her way going out to see one of her clients, and asked if I would like to join her, of course I shook my head in the affirmative.
Episode 2
We walked out of her house and into her car, she drove for a few miles and stopped infront of a boutique, we walked into the boutique, and she she gave me the go ahead to choose whatever dress I liked. I wasn’t really a classy type so I didn’t know what to choose. After a while of thorough searching, I stumbled on a sequence short gown, it was very beautiful and simple. She smiled when she saw the one I choose. I didn’t waste time in changing my clothes in the bathroom, I came out looking all beautiful, she gasped, and complimented me as usual.
Few minutes later, we were out of the boutique and into the car again, I complained to her about how tattered my hair was, but she consoled me not to bother about my hair, that the clients are not after the face but what you have behind you.
We arrived at a big Mansion with tall gates, she horned for few minutes before the big gates were opened. She drove in and was obviously annoyed with the gateman, the gateman apologized and promised never to sleep on duty again. She hissed and dragged me into the house with her. We got into the house and I was mesmerized by what I saw, I never knew heaven was on earth, I had never seen something so fascinating. I was lost in my own world when Rose pinched me, I jolted back to reality and was met with four ladies standing right in front of me.
Rose introduced them to me, and explained that they were all into the same business. They welcomed me one after the other and I responded with a smile on my face. the tall one expressed her gratitude to Rose for bringing me into the circle, she further explained to me how she was going to handle two old men at the same time, but was relieved since I was there to take over one person, I didn’t say a word, I just smiled
