     Its been four months of depression and self hatred since Anita left the house and I haven't heard from her or known where she was staying so I decided to move on and stop thinking about her but as it is always said 'blood is thinker than water ' so I still remembered her.
I got back to my business of runz, clubbing, drinking to stupor, smoking, sleeping with men. I made a lot of friends who encouraged me more into the business, at a point I wanted to stop but I couldn't because it was getting late already.
My click of friends, had different class where we all operate in. We created a group called 'CLASSIC MONEY BABES ' on Facebook, Instagram and twitter, we had enough followers which happened to be young girls who never had ambition in life. I brought in two girls named Juliet who was 16years and Nancy who was 18years into my house who happen to need money to further their education desperately, so I introduce them into the runz work, I also trained them on different position to satisfy the men they will be sleeping with and they performed well. So we had slot for meeting the men in different hotels. We never valued our bodies again because it belong to any man that is ready to pay for a night.
Everybody knew me in the community because I was popular,  most young guys and ladies do hail me whenever I drive in the street because I don't walk on foot to anywhere. The nickname I was given was "Ama aka Money " once I hear that I just wind down my car window and spread money for them. I was feeling like a goddess.

      One night I drove into a lonely road and there was no car in front or behind me, by the right and the left side of the road,  there was a thick forest with big trees. I tried to stop and reverse but the car was really on a high speed, I tried to hold the break but the break failed. I was the only in the car. I got to a point and the car halted on its own then a bright light shone from a distance and I could barely see and I used my hands to cover my eyes, all of a sudden the light disappeared and I opened my eyes only to see one year old babies standing in front of my car, they were so many that I couldn't count them, I noticed they were bleeding from their head to their feet and they were all pointing their tiny fingers at me. I couldn't stand their sight so I tried to reverse but the car refused to move so I opened the door and went out of the car, I walked away applying a speed so that they cannot meet up with me but they followed me so I started running and they pursued me, I screamed, cried, shouted for help but none came. As the children were running after me they were saying "You killed us " and I wondered when I killed them. While I was running my leg was hurting me, I was becoming weak till I stumbled on something and fell down. The children surrounded me still saying the same words and their blood was dripping on me, one of them tried strangling me then I forcefully woke up panting like an athlete who just finished a race. I sat up on my bed trying to get the meaning of the dream but nothing seem to make sense. I got up from the bed, entered the bathroom and showered to cool myself.
I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast after dressing up only to find Nancy dishing already cooked sauce into the plates for everybody.

"Good morning Miss Amanda " she greeted immediately she noticed my presence

"Good morning Nancy. How was your night? " I asked

"Fine Ma and yours? " she asked

" Fine too " I lied despite the nightmare.

"What are we having for breakfast? " I asked

"Bread and sauce with tea."

"That sounds great. I was thinking of making White Oat so that we take it with bread " I said

"Don't worry Ma. Atleast for today stay away from the kitchen work " she said and I chuckled

"Where is Juliet? " I asked

"She went to dump the refuse bin " she answered

"OK. Please hurry up and bring the food to the dining because I feel like devouring it here in the kitchen. Let me set the dining table " I said

"OK Ma "

I went to the dining and arrange the table mat for all of us.
Nancy brought my share of the food to the table and immediately I opened the food to inhale the sweet aroma of the sauce, I felt nauseous. I held my stomach.

"Ma'am are you ok? " Nancy asked observing me

I waved my hand because everything inside my stomach was threatening to come out. I ran to the toilet and vomited. Nancy just stood by my side patting my back to stop the vomit.
Later that evening, I went to the clinic for check up and I was told that nothing is wrong with me. I got back to the house feeling so devastated. I entered the sitting room, I met Nancy and Juliet watching African Magic.

"Welcome Ma" they greeted in unison and I nodded

"Miss, what is the result from the test? " Nancy asked reminding me that it was all her idea for me to go for test.

"What else do you expect?  The Doctor said that am fine and nothing is wrong with me. So he didn't give me any prescription "

"OK but Ma'am you haven't eaten since morning. Do you mind us preparing something for you this evening? " Juliet asked

"No don't worry right now I don't have appetite for food, but when am hungry I will tell you girls " I said with much assurance.

I got into my room feeling so weak, I just laid down on the bed starring at the ceiling with so much confusion. I thought of where I was going in life with the way I lived, but there was no one to bring me out of the mess I found myself.
By 12midnight that day, I woke up with an excruciating pain on my stomach, I sat on the bed and started sobbing so that I will not wake the girls, the pain became so serious and I had no choice than to cry aloud and the girls came to my door trying to enter unluckily the door was bolted by me from inside, I managed and stood up I walked slowly down to the door and opened it. I could barely speak because the pains was increasing, so the girls used hot water and massage my stomach through out the night till day break.
As early as 6:30am, I was taken to the hospital and admitted into a particular VIP ward which I paid for. Money cannot stop pains though I was kept in a special ward, the pains didn't disappear.
