I was walking back home with that bed sheet wrapped around me, drawing curious gazes from the few early morning walkers on the mostly empty street.


    ” Get in, ” A voice followed after two loud honking, suddenly startling me.


    The car door opened and it was Rose who greeted me from the inside.


    I hesitated as she kept looking at me.


    ” I can’t wait for you forever you know… ” She rolled her eyes as she stared.


    I decided to get in.


    I sat in silence in the back seat as she drove and asionally spared a nce at me, but said nothing.


    ” Is there something that you want to tell me, Rose? ”


    I finally asked because it was really getting very difficult with that nce.


    ” Nothing. I was just trying to figure out what it was about you that drew men. Your face looks so-so, your figure is okay. I mean you arecking in your curves a bit but it isn’t that obvious as for your personality you weigh heavily on the boring scale.”


    The way she was analyzing me without any bias and passing on her judgment to me, one would think that I paid her. What a haughty thing.


    ” Yet it seems like you got the two most dangerous men in the underworld, thinking only about youtely… ”


    She scoffed and turned back towards the road.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Before I could ask her what she meant, we reached the gates of Ryan’s mansion.


    ” Have your breakfast and then get some sleep. I wille to fetch you around the afternoon. Don’t keep me waiting. ”


    She yeeted me and drove away without stopping. It really started to seem like I was in a madhouse.


    I stood up, dusted the soil off my dress before walking inside.


    Ryan had note back home and the boys were also missing as usual.


    I went to the kitchen and prepared myself a sandwich and pulled my phone out to call Sarah again.


    This time around, the call did go through, and strangely enough, I thought that I could even hear her phone ring. Not the ring of the call going through but her ringtone…


    I looked at the phone and then turned around.


    ” Holy f*ck! ”


    The butter knife went flying from my hand in shock as I turned to check where the sound wasing from but instead found Sarah staring into my soul, standing right in front of me.


    ” Where the hell did youe in here from? So early in the morning? Sarah, are you alright? What’s going on? I tried calling you so many times, where were you gone? ”


    She listened to my sprinting and then went around the table and jumped on top of it to sit. Then dangling her feet down she started to smile at me,


    ” Looks like you got yourself afortable home. ”


    She said , now leaning back on the table.


    I strained over her shoulders out of the ss window to check if the guards were still there or not. They were.


    ” How did you get inside Sarah? ”


    I asked her, looking concerned.


    ” Why? Are you afraid I broke into your house? ” Her voice sounded more like a taunt, which was very weird. She was the one more mature one between us two. Whenever I did something stupid or oundish, she was the one to reprimand. She had always been my ‘ go-to’ person.


    ” I am afraid that they might drag you out or worse. And for your correction, this isn’t my house. Just the ce I am staying at for the time being. ”


    ” Doesn’t look like that… ” She jumped off the table and went off of the kitchen, towards the main house as I followed her from behind, stealing a nce back at the guards again.


    ” So, Sherry, show me where you sleep? Do you sleep alone or do you sleep with your man? ”


    I was scratching the back of my head, wondering what this sudden change was in her behavior.


    ” This way. I stay in this one. ”


    I opened my room and showed her in, ” And what man are you implying Sarah? He sleeps with his stripper and probably has a list of other women to follow her. You know why I am here very well.


    Now tell me where you vanished suddenly. I went to your ce. You were even there. ”


    ” Why Sherry, do I need to inform you about my whereabouts? Do you do the same with me? ”


    She was getting on my nerves for the first time in the history of our friendship,


    ” Do you even have any idea what I have been through? I kidnapped Sarah, and almost sold it. The hell they made me see in all those hours, is stilling back in my dreams. ”


    Theter part of my statement wasn’t true.


    The dreams that I was having were not of my harrowing experience at the hands of my traffickers. But it was about Ryan. I was being haunted by a certain forest where I kept revisiting.


    ” What’s such a big deal getting kidnapped and sold to Sherry? You already sold yourself once. How would it hurt if you did it one more time with another? ”


    She picked the jar of dry fruits beside my bed which even I didn’t know was there. It must have been Bellow who kept it there so I could snack on them after waking up.


    “Hhhmmm, this is some exotic bliss that I see over here. ” She eximed, falling back on the bed.


    Then suddenly sat up and looked at me with her eyes, so full of something that I couldn’t understand,


    ” You know what Sherry? I was desperately thinking about my life choicestely. Seems like I should take a clue or two from you.


    I am thinking about giving myself a shot at selling myself as well. “
