Elisa sneaked out of the house quietly. She was a grown woman, she could have just walked out and no one would stop her, not even the security guards at the gate.
But, she did it to feel naughty. As if she was really not supposed to be going out but she wanted to break the rules. It wasn’t hard to find a casino.
The building was beaming with flashing lights. It was not too big but not small either. Some bikers drove past her and hollered sweet name at her.
She blushed and whipped her hair like a diva. She felt like a diva, utterly and completely in control.
She went to take a seat and as time went by, the game ended at some point. She was owing a man in a black jacket a hundred and twenty six thousand dollars. She owed another man with a lot belly and oily nose, three hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. She was glad that they were only two people she owed this time, there was a time she owed sixteen people money.
Her puse was empty. The euphoria had cleared from her eyes and all she felt was total dread. The middle aged man with pot belly had patience, he could delay his torture but the man in black jacket was on her neck.
He was demanding.
Like a snake, she sneaked away from her seat and dashed for the exit. It as a big city, these men would not find her, she could take a plane out tomorrow if things came to it’s worse but she didn’t have four hundred and seventy nine thousand to give them.
Those Russian mobsters had taken all her money, all of it. She ran past the door and dashed to the right. She was sure she had lost the two men but she she looked behind her shoulders, she saw the black leather jacket man catching up to her.
She wasn’t looking where she was going, she heard a honk, a screech and then boom, she hit a car.. luckily for her, the car saw her first and hit the brakes.
The driver was yelling at her, the black jacket man came and seized her immediately.
“Please I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to run”
The man regarded her ti for a second and pulled her roughly to an alley.
“I need my money” the man stated.
He was a man of few words, he didn’t seem to have any other thing to tell her and she knew that the next time he moved, she was going to be in trouble.
Her back was up against the wall of the alley. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips.
“I need to get money from home”
“Where is home?”
“Fountain’s diamond villa, you know there?”
The man’s single nod told her that he knew the place, who wouldn’t know the never afford to stay there… That was where her lover had bought a million dollar castle for his mother.
She knew that her lover would clear her debts, if she asked him. The man’s eyes shone, shew as impressed with where she lived, it means he wouldn’t have to kill her, he could simply just kidnapped her and get even more money from her family.
She owned nothing.
“You have to give me time, I don’t have it but I know someone who can give it to you”
The man grumbled something and pulled out a knife from his pocket.
“Please please wait, please. How can I buy some time, you can give me some time right?”
The man didn’t move, didn’t even try blink to show that he had heard what she said and was considering. She closed her eyes and spread her legs, with the gesture of the hand, she told him that he could have her.
The man shook his head.
“This is not to pay the bill, it’s to buy me some time” she said.
The man shook his head again.
“Not my type” he told her and the refusal felt like a dirty slap.
She rushed towards him and pounced on him.
“Did you just reject me you dirty piece of shit. Do you know who I am, I gave you one time opportunity to feel what it’s like to be inside a wealthy woman and you__”
She stopped talking when she felt the cold blade on her neck, the man pressed the sharp edge on her flesh, it pinched her and drew blood.
She raised her hand in the air and it shook.
“I apologize, I’ve never been rejected before”
“Back up against the wall”
She did as she was told, one step at a time. She had her back pressed against the wall and she swallowed hard.
The man pulled away his knife, blood stained the steel. She felt the sting in her throat and knew it wasn’t a small cut and this man wasn’t joking either.
“It’s almost dawn, see”
The man didn’t bother to look up.
“I.. if I’m not your type, then I’m certain someone else would be”
“I don’t want to fuck you”
“No, not me. I’m talking about someone else entirely
“Who is that?”
“My daughter. She’s a virgin, at least you can buy some time with it while I… Arrange your money”
The man took a step forward, she thought he was coming to attack her but he observed her face.
“You’re pretty, is she also pretty?”
“My gosh, you’ll collapse when you see her”
The man grumbled something.
“You’re walking away from this because I haven’t had a good fuck in weeks, I’ll take your daughter but you get me my money before the end of today”
“Tomorrow. Give me till tomorrow”
“No. Your daughter isn’t some kind of goddess is she?”
“You’ll be surprised to hear that she might be. I’ll let you decide after you see her but I’m warning you, you might give me an entire year to pay up”
The fat middle aged man walked into the alley, sweating and shouting. Elisa didn’t know that he had been looking for her and he caught sight of her.
He slapped her and the leather jacket man just watched.
“You get me my money!” He yelled pulling her collar and slamming her back on the wall.
“Please, I need some time” she pleaded.
“I don’t have time” the man yelled in her face, his breath smelled like tobacco.
“I have a daughter..”
