She obeyed cos she¡¯s her guardian having lost her father to a brain tumor and her mom ended up in aa cos she couldn¡¯t ept her husband¡¯s death. Ivy jerkins took her in and catered for her. She has been a mother figure to her. She took her in from the age of twelve and they were okay. At the early age of sixteen, she was done with high school and was attending college. Initially, she wanted to be a doctor. So she majored in it. Audrey was in the train station for hours. She wanted to leave but received a call from her aunt to buy her some groceries. She obeyed and went. She walked towards the supermarket and heard footstepsing her way, she freaked out as it was dark already. She turned around and was knocked out. ¡± She¡¯s such a beauty. She¡¯ll be good for business. Look at that ass. They¡¯ll be bigger when she grows up. her boobs are still tender¡± she heard someone say before shepletely lost consciousness. She opened her eyes and heard voices. Annoying and ranging voices probably two people fighting. ¡± I saw him first. You seduced him¡± ¡± Shut your mouth. He said he¡¯s tired of you¡± the other argued. She thought it was from the TV. She opened her eyes and they turned to her. ¡± She¡¯s awake. Now there¡¯ll no client for me. Another hot one. I can barely keep up with Ava¡± Lmented shooting her a disdain look. She rubbed her eyes, looked around, and pounds her head trying toprehend the situation. ¡± Me either. Where does she get them from? She¡¯s still young though¡± replied Vanessa. ¡± Where am I? I have to go home. I have an exam. Have you seen my phone? She said fidgeting as they stare at her like a deranged girl ¡± It seems she was napped¡± scoffed L ¡± No, I think she was bought. Sold out. Kicked out. What a dilemma¡± said Vanessa tssking her tongue ¡± I don¡¯t have time for this. Give me my bag. I have to call my aunt¡± she demanded earning a re from them as if she¡¯s speaking a foreignnguage ¡± The beauty is awake. Good timing. There are lots of clients awaiting your presence. Vanessa and L will give you a tour while Amor will teach you everything you need to know about being a prostitute¡± mademoiselle Vi voiced. Audrey didn¡¯t know what to say. It all seems french to her though she can understand french. She looked at mademoiselle Vi again and giggles assuming it was a joke. ¡± I don¡¯t have time for this. I¡¯m going home. You can keep the bag.¡± She walked out of the room and behold it dawn on her. She was indeed in a brothel. ¡± Once you¡¯re here. You belong to me forever. Your job is to wait on men. Serve them and make sure they¡¯re satisfied. Your body isn¡¯t your dignity anymore but your livelihood. Your career, your profession when you look at it, it reminds you of who you are, a slut, a whore, a prostitute¡± she heard Vi lecturing her. There¡¯s no way this is happening to her. Did she fall prey to illegal immigrants? She didn¡¯t believe it. ¡± Your job is to obey mymand, Audrey. Do you understand me? ¡± I don¡¯t want to be here. I want no part in it. I want to go home. Aunt Ivy will be looking for me. Please let me go¡± she pleaded in tears. ¡± Shut up little girl. You¡¯re mine henceforth failure to obey the rules will result in punishment believe me you don¡¯t want to experience it¡± she concluded and left. ¡± No, please. This isn¡¯t what I want. I have a dream¡± she sat on the floor crying. L and Vanessa consoled her. ¡± There¡¯s no use. No one escapes mademoiselle Vi. If she buys you. You¡¯re hers forever. So are your children if you get to have one. You have to ept it. This is who you are now. Vi will punish you if you don¡¯te for the tour¡± said Vanessa wiping her tears. ¡± I was sold? Is that what you mean? By who? I was knocked out then I found myself here¡± she tried to remember thest thing she heard ¡± You were sold. Most of us are like that. I was napped though. Vi bought L from her boyfriend¡± Vanessamented looking at L who wasn¡¯t pleased she told her about it. Her tears Her eye widened. What? Does she mean she¡¯s been living this kind of life ever since? She rather dies than be one of them. ¡± I¡¯m not going to be a prostitute. I¡¯ve got a bright future ahead of me. I don¡¯t belong here¡± ¡± Little girl, no one wants to be here. You have to ept it or Vi will make you ept it the hard way. She¡¯s more dangerous than you think. She knows various Mafia Lords and drug lords. She¡¯ll deal with you till you¡¯re broken. I don¡¯t think your young mind can withstand such torture¡± advised L ¡± No no¡­ I¡¯m not going anywhere with you. I want to go home¡± she weeps. They try to make her see reasons but she wasn¡¯t listening. She was fantasizing about her dream that has been crumbled. She still thought she¡¯s dreaming. She squats down refusing to follow them. Mademoiselle Vi was furious she defied her orders and ordered her to be locked up in a stinky cell. She was there for days without food and water but she endured it. She rather dies than be a prostitute. Vi wasn¡¯t going to let that happen cos her money will be wasted. She couldn¡¯t punish her further because she hasn¡¯t auctioned her yet. She was big cash for her. Still, she found another way to punish her that was when Ava volunteered to talk to her. She took a bowl of soup and trialed to her cell. ¡± Hello there. I¡¯m Ava. What¡¯s your name? She asked politely in a sweet tone ¡± Go away. I¡¯m not going to be like you. I¡¯ll not sell my body, my dignity for money. It can¡¯t be my profession¡± she uttered in a low tone barely hearable cos of thirst and hunger ¡°Like me? That¡¯s ironic. Should I tell you a story? My father was a politician. he was about to be a senator. Then a gang raided him. Killed him molested me then sold me to Vi. I was about to graduate. I had a dream also but there¡¯s nothing I can do. You¡¯ve to think. There¡¯s more to life than this. One day I¡¯m going to leave here. Avenge my family so what if I have to sacrifice my body. Men are dogs anyway. I have no intention of getting married. I think you should think about it. Don¡¯t you want to find out who sold you and why they did it? I¡¯m curious to know the devil that could ruin such a thing promising future. men aren¡¯t worth it. We see different kinds of men every day. They¡¯re cheats and killers. Our bodies are ours. We shouldn¡¯t worry about how it¡¯s used but why it¡¯s been used. ¡± She ended what seemed like a sermon to Audrey who wasn¡¯t ready to sell herself ¡± I can¡¯t. I¡¯m just sixteen. I¡¯m not ready. I don¡¯t belong here¡± she sobbed ¡± I know and I¡¯ll try and help you. You won¡¯t spend your entire life here. I promise. Let the way they trample on your body remind you of your dreams. That¡¯s what keeps me going. I don¡¯t know what they did to my siblings. They¡¯re the reason I keep up with all of this. I implore you to do the same. I promise to be there for you as a big sister. ¡± She whimpered holding her hands ¡± I am scared . ¡± she sobs ¡± I¡¯m here. Vi will try to break you but I¡¯ll be here to restore all that. Just act as she seeded. Serve the men. You¡¯ll get used to it once you face your first client. ¡± She coaxed wiping her tears ¡± I didn¡¯t ask for this. My aunt told me to wait for her. I wouldn¡¯t happen to stay upte. ¡± She cried as Ava made a mental note of it. ¡± I¡¯m Audrey Zachery by the way. You¡¯re right. I shouldn¡¯t probably find out who sold me and why. I wasn¡¯t on a lonely road. I was on my way to buy some groceries when I was caught. It doesn¡¯t seem right¡± Ava tried to ask more but she didn¡¯t spill cos she doesn¡¯t trust her yet besides Vi might have sent her. ¡± C¡¯mon you need some food and water and a good bath. ¡± Ava was five years older than Audrey she felt pity for her. Vi was going to have her gang-raped and she couldn¡¯t allow that. Audrey was very young which made her overprotective of her and perhaps the youngest of them. ¡± Does it hurt? ¡± She asked ¡± Only for the first time. You¡¯ll like it as time goes by. It¡¯s pleasurable and.. you¡¯ll get it soon ¡± she said shyly seeing her croaked face Vi enters the cell and was d she could talk to her. ¡± Now. You need preparation. You need not know the rules and etiquette of being a slut but I call it something else. Just because you sell your body doesn¡¯t make you less important than those pompousdies out there. They¡¯re prostitutes too. Learn to stand up for yourself. Don¡¯t let anyone belittle what you do and if they do, raise your head high and put them in their ce. Do you understand me? I guess it¡¯ll take time to teach you those etiquette¡± she added checking her outCopyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Audrey felt disgusted listening to her justifying their practice. She should be in college fighting for her dreams. She was led out of the Stinky cell and was taught etiquette as Vi calls them. She was given a tour by L and Vanessa and was getting ready for the auction. The Auction Audrey was taught the etiquette of been a bedmate like Vi calls it. Now it was time for her to learn the rules. Ava was stunned seeing how eager she was to tame her. She always gives newbies especially younger girls time toe to terms with themselves but hers was different. What made it different she wanted to know. She was busy teaching Audrey the rules of the brothel ¡± Audrey, rule one: don¡¯t fall in love as you know it doesn¡¯t end well for bedmates like you. Rule number two; don¡¯t disobey my order. I assure you you¡¯ll regret it. rule number three; don¡¯t leave the brothel. You¡¯ll grow old and die being a slut and if You¡¯re lucky you might be a madam like me which is debatable considering your altitude¡± she sneered ¡± Last rule, never try to escape. Many have tried but none seeded my dear Audrey cos I¡¯ll find you wherever I see you and I¡¯ll put a mark on you to make my im. A mark even the best Medici can¡¯t erase. Do you understand me. ? She raised her brow ¡± Yes mademoiselle Vi¡± she hummed heaven knows she prefers being a prisoner ¡± If you behave well. We¡¯re going to be best friends. You¡¯ve all the qualities. a big hot ass, sexy boobs, an hourss figure, a beautiful smile, and a pretty face with seductive red hair. You¡¯ll make me big money¡± she smiles making her roll her eye in disgust. ¡± Tonight will be your first night and most memorable. The first time is painful but expensive. Focus on the money I use to clean you up since you arrived. You look like a doll now ¡°she said raising her chin checking for ws ¡± You remember what you were taught right?. don¡¯t act like a scared puppy when you get there. Be professional. Show him your talent¡± she went on and on and on till she was done ¡± You¡¯re ready Audrey. I¡¯ll let Ava talk to you¡± she left to begin the auction. Ava enters her room sat in front of her ¡± You look beautiful Audrey. You have to endure it. You have to meet her demands. Trust me okay? ¡± ¡± I¡¯m scared, Ava. What if I run away? What if he¡¯s a drunk? I hate this¡± shementedCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. ¡± Don¡¯t do that. My first time was scary too but I got used to it. You have to think about your aunt and family and your freedom¡± she coaxed hugging her. Audrey exited the room to the auction room. She wore a tube dress that wasn¡¯t covering much of her body with a long coat. She was ashamed standing on the front stage as the auction item. Her coat was taken off as the men and women stare at her agape. She lowered her head ashamed seeing their lustful gaze. The auction began as they started to bid for her first time like an item. Starting with $ 10000 and it continued till someone bids five million. Everyone turned to look his way in gape. Vi was excited. She made a fortune. Audrey was led to the private room to meet her client. She entered the room and saw him sitting by the screen with a cigar in his hands. At least he¡¯s young she sighed. Anonymous claimer Adrian Emerson seated at the VIP table saw how well endowed her figure was and she was young. He could tell she was nervous and ashamed. She¡¯ll be easy for him to tame so he made a bigger bid that no one will dare to challenge after all which man in his right senses will pay five million for a night? His grin widened acknowledging his sess. Now she was in front of him. He took a good look at her and smiled ¡± Don¡¯t be scared little one. I want you. Come here¡± he ordered but she stood there fixed on her feet ¡± Little onee here. I won¡¯t hurt you¡± but she stood there staring at the floor ¡± It seems you¡¯re nervous. Now I¡¯m going to punish you for disobeying me. Strip off your clothes slowly. I want to take my time in viewing your sulent body¡± he announced making her whimper. ¡± Come closer while you¡¯re at it¡± he ordered. Adrian stood up and walked up to her. Took a good look at her and saw her trembling hands. Her body was trembling. He didn¡¯t like what he was seeing. ¡± How old are your little one? He asked caressing her body ¡± Sixteen¡± she whimpered ¡± You are? ¡± Audrey¡± she uttered feeling disgusted by his touch ¡± Interesting¡± he stated raining kisses on her vicles, neck, and cleavage while running his hands on her body. She stood still like a statue separating her mind by thinking about her future and freedom. He was surprised she didn¡¯t respond to his caresses but he went on anyway. Exploring every corner of her body. Yet she didn¡¯t moan. It felt like an insult to him and at the same time, it felt like a challenge. He unclothed her and devoured her body. Suckling her boobs and licking her pu***, kissing her biting her lips to make her cooperate. She didn¡¯t budge. He didn¡¯tin. He undressed and thrust into her roughly. She screamed her lungs out as he closed her mouth with his ravaging her mouth like he was looking for something. Audrey was in so much pain by the time he was done. She could barely open her eyes as she watched him take his shower and got dressed. He came back with a bowl and a towel which he used to clean her up. She felt so powerless against him. The bed sheets were stained with much blood from his roughness. He finished and sat beside her caressing her hair ¡± Do you know why I punished you that way? You disobeyed me. You refused to moan and cooperate. I¡¯m sure you learned your lesson. Here use it to take care of yourself¡± he said handing her a cheque which she ignored. He kissed her before stepping out of the room dropping it on the bed Immediately he came out Ava rushed in and saw her crying. She covered her body and noticed the excess blood on the sheets. ¡± I¡¯m so sorry Audrey. I haven¡¯t seen him before. Was he that rough? You bled a lot¡± she asked hugging her ¡± You¡¯re wrong Ava. There¡¯s no pleasure. He simply devoured me like an ant. Just look at me. I¡¯m so weak. ¡± She snapped wrecking the room ¡± Calm down. It¡¯s over. You won¡¯t see him again. Not anymore¡± she coaxed calming her down taking the check on the bed ¡± It was horrible. I screamed all night. Is that what you endure? I can¡¯t go through it for a second time. I¡¯ll go crazy¡± shemented ¡± Sssh mademoiselle Vi ising. Stay put¡± Vi entered the room and was pleased though surprised to see so much blood but he did pay five million dors for it. ¡± Audrey dear I have good news. Girls get rid of the sheets. That¡¯s Audrey¡¯s past. Mr incredible there has made you his permanent bedmate. He said you¡¯re his. No, no one is allowed to touch you unless him. You are a lucky girl¡± she smiled as the girls left with the sheets ¡± Hell no. He used me like I was a statue. Like I didn¡¯t exist. There¡¯s no way I¡¯m agreeing to it¡± she retorted ¡± How dare you talk back at me¡± snapped vi hitting her twice. ¡± When I say something you say yes ma¡¯am¡± ¡± I¡¯m sorry but anyone but him¡± ¡± I said don¡¯t talk back at me¡± she snapped grabbing her hair forcefully. Ava winked at Audrey to apologize but she didn¡¯t.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. ¡°: It seems I have to teach you a lesson. Thank your stars he¡¯s a vvip, gets dressed, and takes some drugs. You¡¯ll be serving wine henceforth, dancing and ying the piano sometimes. You can¡¯t be idle while you wait on him ¡± she stated and left ¡± I¡¯m sorry Audrey. I didn¡¯t presume this. He must have taken a liking to you¡± ¡± I didn¡¯t say a word to him. I didn¡¯t try to impress him. I hated the way he touched me¡± ¡± I meant your tightness. Your body. That¡¯s what they¡¯re after here. You didn¡¯t hate all of it right? ¡± It was awful. I¡¯m d it over. I need a bath. I fear I have a tear¡± sheined ¡± No, you don¡¯t. C¡¯mon, I¡¯ll help you¡± she helped her limped to the bathroom. Anytime Adrian visited the brothel. Audrey will be his bedmate. It has been four months since the auction and Audrey has gotten used to her new life. She was able to make Adrian help Ava reduce her number of clients which made Vi angry. She and Adrian so bonded. She tolerated his presence till one day Ava dragged her into a room. ¡± Mademoiselle vi is nning to give you to another client. He said he¡¯s ready to pay any amount. It¡¯s our chance to escape¡± ¡± I¡¯m sure Mr. A won¡¯t agree with that. I¡¯ll let him know¡± ¡± No need. I think he likes you and we can use it to our advantage before Vies. She intends to nder your image in front of him.¡± ¡± Why is that? I¡¯m doing my job. Serving a client¡± ¡± No. She¡¯s not happy with that. We need Mr. A¡¯s pass card. You have to get it. Please Audrey we have to be careful¡± ¡± How will I do that? Escapade She took a good look at Ava and tried to understand what she just said. She¡¯s to steal from a client? ¡± He likes you and you know that. Taking the passcard will be easy. Just give him the best fu** and he¡¯ll let his guard down¡± she suggested ¡± There¡¯s no way I¡¯m doing that. I can easily ask for his help¡± ¡± Don¡¯t be naive. He¡¯ll not help you it¡¯s been six months already. you¡¯re a harlot to him. He¡¯s just selfish by trying to keep you all to himself with money. Vi has another client who is ready to pay toy with you. She intends to make Mr. A uninterested in you. ¡± She emphasized ¡± Ok. I¡¯ll get it. When is heing and where¡¯s mademoiselle Vi? ¡± She traveled I think she¡¯s on her way home which means we¡¯ve eight to ten hours to escape¡± ¡± Mr. A is here. Wish me luck. ¡± ¡± Come here. You have to be seductive and sexy to attract his interest. Stop being a statue and indulge him, please. Make him feel wanted and desired. Remember he¡¯s the boss. You owe him¡± ¡± Yes yes. I owe him my ass. I¡¯ll be good¡± she said nonchntly. Ava led her to the dressing room and turn her into a seductress: wearing an off-shoulder mini dress reaching just her thigh hugging it tightly showing her perfect figure. She wrapped her hair in a ponytail leaving some strands falling to her cheeks. Initially, she dressed to kill. ¡± Every clothing look good on you Audrey¡± Lplimented helping her with the makeup and manicure ¡± I am envious of your big ass at such a young age. ¡°Said, Vanessa ¡± What¡¯s good about it? It got me here¡± she retorted making themugh ¡± Ava is the prettiest¡± she added ¡± I don¡¯t think the brothel agree with that,¡± said L chuckling ¡± Or you¡¯re jealous of her beauty¡± she stated ¡± Audrey, he¡¯s waiting for you¡± Ava who has been busy with her pedicure voiced ¡± Okay,¡± she left walking slowly thinking of what to do with him to arouse his interest. ¡± Whatever you¡¯re nning. I¡¯m in¡± said Vanessa who heard them before ¡± Me too,¡± said L ¡± I¡¯m not nning anything. She asked for my help¡± she denied ¡± Cut the crap. I know you have been nning to leave for a long now. You have more clients than anyone here. Vi won¡¯t let you two leave. That¡¯s where wee in. I can talk to some boys to allow you to leave in their truck if you agree of course. We need the passcard too. ¡± Said L mischievously ¡± And I know you¡¯re using that poor girl. She¡¯s a fool to follow you¡± said Vanessa earning a re from her which sent shivers to her spine ¡± Fine. Just pray she gets it. ¡± She hummed leaving them behind. Vi is a terrible person none of the girls liked her. She was certain they won¡¯t rattle her out or else they all go down together. Now it¡¯s up to Audrey to y her part. Adrian was smoking his cigar when she entered with a beautiful smile on her lips. He admitted never has he seen her smiling so brightly. Her perfectly arranged teeth made him smile too. He looked at her from her head to her exposed thighs and long boots. ¡± To what do I owe this treat? He asked licking his lips ¡± To show I missed you so much¡± she stated giving him a light kiss then turned on the home theater. She danced seductively smiling and swaying her hips and ass He got up and walked up to her pinning her against the wall touching her ass. ¡± Not so fast. Let me treat you tonight. ¡± She said holding his tie leading him to the bedroom while rocking his hardness. Adrian felt drugged and followed her steps. She pushed him to the bed stripping him off his clothes while caressing and raining kisses on his vulnerable spot while giving him a blo**** ¡± Damn little one you¡¯re good¡± he moaned having the best time of his life. She did everything he asked and asked for more if he was stopping. She made sure he was worn out. He rolled over and slept off. She was sore but she had to make a move. She took his pass card and was surprised he had plenty. She took all of them as she wasn¡¯t sure why he had many. She got dressed and left the room. Ava grabbed her hands and saw different marks on her body. She was d they won¡¯t have to live that life ever again. No man was worthy to climb them again ¡± You got it. Let¡¯s go. ¡± She took it d the exit door card was insideCopyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡± Did I get the right ones? She asked limping ¡± Yes. You did a great job. You must be sore. I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sure you said your goodbyes¡± she said helping her ¡± I won¡¯t miss him. He¡¯s a horny bastard¡± she cursed They took the exit using the pass card. ¡± Going without us? This way is safer¡± said L who has been there for years ¡± Okay. Vi will be back soon¡± ¡± Yeah but she won¡¯t catch us,¡± said Vanessa confidently showing them a secret door. They opened it and enters one by one. ¡± Girls!!! We¡¯ve got a problem¡± said Audrey pointing to the cameras ¡± We¡¯ll be out of here before they find us or notice we¡¯re escaping¡± eximed L who was imagining her freedom already They pretended to be lovers who lost their way. They were finally out of the secret door and behold there was a giant door with cameras and an off rm. One move from them will rm the whole building and tens of guards will be onto them. ¡± What do we do? Asked Ava confused and dejected ¡± Abort mission. We¡¯re dead if we move to pass this. Vi will hunt us for eternity¡± said Vanessa who wasn¡¯t ready to die ¡± Continue with the n,¡± said Audrey¡± we are not just selling our bodies, we sold our freedom to live. she regards us as ves. We¡¯re going to prove to her that it¡¯s our life and we decide whether to sell it or have it crushed. I don¡¯t know what you girls think. I didn¡¯t sell my body to be a ve. I rather pass these doors and shot to death than go back there when the outside world thinks I¡¯m dead. I¡¯m sorry but I have a sick mother at the hospital who has been in aa for six years now. If after six years she¡¯s still alive, then there¡¯s nothing stopping me from going through that door. ¡± She sighed as they stared at her in utmost surprise. nodding their heads in agreement. They rather pass the door than go back to very. Their minds were made up. Ava swiped the card and the door opened along with a loud disturbing rm for intruders. Four of them went through the door and saw freedom two kilometers away. They made it out and were boarding a van when the guards reached them. They fired but they drove out but one wasn¡¯t so lucky. Vanessa was hit and fell off the van instantly. L revised to go get her but she waved her hands mouthing for them to leave her to her fate. L wasn¡¯t ready to go back to the hell hole, not after the sessful escapade. so she drove off despite Ava and Audrey¡¯s refusal. Freedom was within her reach. She was in tears while driving. Though they fought a lot. She was her only friend. The trio mourned Vanessa and vowed to make her sacrifice worthwhile. One day Vi will pay for taking her life. They abandoned the Van by stealing another one to avoid being tracked. Mademoiselle Vi returned hourster and was told what happened. She med Emerson for being so reckless. Emerson frowned but was impressed and left afterward. Vi paid assassins to find them and bring them dead or alive. They¡¯re her properties she concluded. She was ready to chase them to the end of the world if possible. Hunted The vans was initially found and vi was surprised they were so smart but again L was with them. L stopped to buy gas but noticed they didn¡¯t have money to purchase it then Ava smiled. ¡± I arranged everything. I wasn¡¯t ready to starve. Thanks to Audrey¡¯s incessant tips we won¡¯t have to worry about money¡± she announced opening a bag pack that was filled with money ¡± I took all your cheques. Audrey you¡¯re a life saver¡± said Ava showing them her hand bag which was also loaded ¡± Hmm. You¡¯re very smart Ava¡¯ theymentedughing. They eventually decided what to do with their new found lives. Audrey decided to study hotel management as medicine was an expensive course. L went into fashion designing while Ava studied business administration as they had to invest. Their life were moving smoothly till they noticed Vi was onto them. They started moving from ce to ce which hindered their studies. L been the oldest suggested they change their look after two years of running for their lives sway from Vi. Audrey¡¯s red hair was changed to gold brown , Ava¡¯s blonde hair was turned to grey while L¡¯s ck hair was turned sandy brown. They blend into the society but they still felt ufortable. Ava suggested they should travel to another continent where there were lots of people like them since they were in Asia and vi will find it difficult to find them. So they left Asia to Europe as it was a wide scope. Big enough for them to hide for a few years while they learn to defend themselves should the time arrive. They resumed their studies which was a sess as they had the money. They lived together in a big vi though it seemed like they separated since they lived in different apartments mainly a penthouse. Audrey graduated and started applying for jobs while L bought an apartment for her fashion designing. Ava opened a fabric and wine pany to sustain their living. L made clothing while she sold them. Audrey gives her tips from the client she sees in the hotel and connections also . Few years passed and Ava¡¯spanies were flourishing. L was a fashion designer though they didn¡¯t want to be popr not to attract unnecessary hunt again. They employed an acting CEO and president to cover their tracks while watching their backs. Meanwhile Lucas Hamilton was returning home after years abroad to rece his demised grandfather who willed everything to him though he was handling it from overseas. He hated the fact that he had to resign from being a general to a business man and he med no other person than the anonymous woman that killed his eldest brother . He arrived and decided to lounge in a hotel to decide if he¡¯ll live with his nagging grandma or live alone. The paparazzi were onto him as he alighted the ne. ¡± Mr Hamilton what do you have to say about the rumor that you are a woman killer?. ¡± Mr Hamilton, is it true you were once a general? If yes why did you resign? ¡± Mr Hamilton are you back for real? ¡± Is it true you hate women? Care to highlight on it? Mr Hamilton!!! Mr Hamilton!!! Mr Hamilton!! The reporters continued to bombard him with questions which he didn¡¯t respond to. They wasn¡¯t going to give up .Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. He stopped, removed his sunsses Making thedies drool and ogle. His army uniform was already an answer yet they kept asking stupid questions. ¡± I¡¯m back to stay and stay out of my way . I hate invading of privacy. get the cameras off my face if you don¡¯t want awsuit from me¡± he said callously shutting them up. ¡± Thank you¡± he said nonchntly putting his sses on. He entered the car and ordered them to drive. Women do make the loudest noise he sneered. At his command Luke escorts arrived at the designated hotel. All the staffs were running helter skelter trying to make a first impression as it was the hotel¡¯s best moment to host him. Audrey was on the phone all day answering calls from her Superior . She had never been overworked that way before. The staffs queued to wee him . Politely greeting him which he ignored. Audrey wasn¡¯t surprised, the rich are scary people. They don¡¯t have respect for the poor. But she still did her job following him to his royal suite while the rest staff trailed behind including some of Lucas boys. ¡± Wee to hotel extreme Mr Hamilton. We kept the best for you¡± she said opening the door and he went in checking the room . She felt like strangling him ¡± As for the hostess that will wait on you. Here¡¯s our finest hostess. I rmend dney but your choice Sir¡± she politely as the girls was looking forward to work for him ¡± You¡¯ll do ¡® he said still checking the suite looking for error without paying attention to her ¡± Sir, I¡¯m the hotel manager not an hostess. I can¡¯t wait on you¡± she voiced trying to remain calm. She wouldn¡¯t want him to treat her like Adrian ¡± I see no difference. Whether you¡¯re a teacher or a student at the end you still go for holidays and resume the same time¡± ¡± And I want the best. It seems you know how to¡± he said callously without emotion ¡± I¡¯ll get back to you sir¡± she grimaced ¡± What? Are you reluctant to wait on me? These women thinking everyone likes them. I don¡¯t give a fu** about you. Do your job and stay ten feet away from me. Now your first assignment.
