~ELIANNA~

I'm Elianna Jones, I lost my mom and dad at a very young age. I had to fend for myself at the very young age of thirteen, I did menial jobs until I ran into my aunt.

She agreed to take me in but agreeing to stay with her was the biggest mistake I made, she made my life hell after a few months. The work she gave to me was endless, and would always abuse me at the slightest provocation.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to run away. I came across an agency, they helped people move to other countries and they'll also provide jobs as well as accommodation.

I was stupid to believe that it was so, I managed to gather some amount of money and paid them. They told us that we were going by road, the day came and they loaded us into a bus.

The journey started and I became worried when they started taking a road to the desert. At that moment, I knew that I was done for.

It was just like what I've always been warned about, we were being trafficked. On the way, some people died and they were thrown away, I was sold to a woman who used girls for prostitution, I tried to run away but I was caught by the same people who sold me.

This time they didn't sell me, they beat me up mercilessly and I had to follow them on all the trips they went on. I would go on without food and water sometimes, imagine traveling in a desert without food or water.

I waited for death but it did not come.

Everything changed when I started getting raped by the men, I couldn't do anything but watch as they violated me.

I got pregnant and gave birth to my first child at eighteen. I gave birth and they didn't know what to do with they child so they sold him off.

They made a lot of sales from the child, so decided to turn it into a business. I became a baby producer, they held other girl too, got them pregnant and sold of the babies, they were running a baby factory.

I couldn't take it anymore, I decided to run away one day, I was with my 7th child when I made that decision.

I gathered all I could and made a run for it, I was in the middle of nowhere, a desert for that matter. I walked for days and my supply of water and food was running low.

I thought I had died when there was a heavy sand storm, I fell unconscious till I finally woke up in a hospital.

I met Dave who accepted me and at that moment I had hope but it was short lived when I went to the hospital that day and the doctors told me about my health condition.

I had cancer and it was at the last stage, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to hurt Dave, I know how it feels to loose a loved one to the cold hands of death told the doctor to lie about it. I knew that I'd be caught when Dave's dad called his friend who was doctor, so I left. He might forget about me soon and move on with his life.

He deserves better than a broken human like me, but I really love him with everything in me, even till my last breath.
