4 years later...........................................................

After me and Ammie finished serving our father's land we parted ways yeah not like we fought or anything she went back to Lagos while I stayed in Abuja.

I still continued my relationship with chief Adams and I work in his company, Adams Empire as his personal assistant and our relationship is not known to anyone in the organization.

The land phone rang and that brought me back to life I picked and it was from the boss's office my presence was needed. His office is right beside mine so I got there in no time.

I knocked and he told me to come inside.

"My dear Zoe, how are you doing?" He asked giving me that beautiful smile that shows his dimple.

"I'm fine boss" I said smiling.

"Come on we are alone call me Adams I've been correcting for the past four years" he said rubbing his forehead in frustration.

"Ok Adams so you requested for my presence andddd here I am" I said smiling.

"Yeah I've been getting good reports about you a lot of people has commended and attested to you being hardworking and that alone makes me proud" he said as he twirled in his seat.

"Thank you sir sorry Adams" I said

"You'll get used to it anyways as a result of that I'm going to give you my black card so you can gshopping buy whatever you like it's my money spend it". He stretched out the black card to me and I collected it

"But Adams don't you think this is too much?" I asked

"Too much or too small, I never expected you to be this devoted and hardworking despite our closeness you come to work early and you close late a Yoruba proverb says Omo to ba sise dede o ye ko ni asiko igbadun meaning a child that does his work diligently deserves enjoyment"

"Thank you sir".

"You know, I have a question for you?" He said

"Ok, I'm all ears"

"I've known you for four years and I can say you're industrious and hardworking also very talented I mean since you got to this office buisness has been booming more than usual with your beauty and skills. So my question is why then did you resolve to hookup/ prostitution while you were in school or before then self? You could have gotten a more responsible job" he said and I noticed he was trying not to use words that might hurt me and I appreciate that.

"I know you'll ask this question one day anyways since you really want to know why I'll tell you"

"So I learnt to fend for myself at a very young age from being an house maid, to working at people's shops but then one faithful day I offended my boss so she chased me out from her house cos I stay at her place. It was late at night and there was no where I could go to so I just stayed outside in the cold, then a lady came to meet me".

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing all alone in this cold night" the stranger said I couldn't see her clearly cos it was in the night but from her voice I could depict that she's a female.

"I offended my madam and she chased me out" my fourteen years old self answered her.

"What did you do?"

"I was hungry cos I didn't eat throughout yesterday so I stole from the food she sells so I can eat" I said playing with the edge of my top.

"Wahoo, that's bad but how old are you?" The stranger asked as she came to sit beside me.

"I'm fourteen years old"

"Do you know you're beautiful?" She asked as she rubbed my back

"No I'm not" I answered

"Well you are and a beauty like you shouldn't suffer like this you know what I'll take you home and teach you how to use what you have to get what you want" she dragged my hand so as to help me up but I removed my hand.

"You don't even know my name neither do I know yours so how do you expect me to follow you when I don't even know you". I questioned.

She laughed and said " you can call me Lady B and what's your own name"

"My name is Zoe" I said

"Zoe, what a beautiful name for a beautiful lady. Will you follow me now?" She asked as she stretched her hand I reluctantly accepted

When we got to her place it was a very beautiful apartment she switched on the light I saw her clearly. She's a very beautiful fair woman with a thick body

"Make yourself comfortable this is your new home and anything you want tell me"

"I have a question, what's the meaning of use what you have to get what you want?

"What do you want?" She asked

"I want to go back to school" I said

"And what do you need to go to school"

"Money" I said

"Good now what did I tell you you are"

"You said I'm beautiful"

"You are a very smart girl so you have beauty and you need money so you use your beauty which is what you have to get money which is what you want" she said

"But how?" I asked curiously

"I'll show you very soon" she said and winked.

The next day a handsome young man came around and I was dressed in the cloth Lady B gave me a black crop top and a short pink skirt she also styled my hair. I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror.

"Raymond, how are you doing" she said and hugged him

"I'm fine as always , who is this beauty" he said looking at me as he also licked his lips

"A new fish caught fresh from the ocean" she said and they both laughed. But I'm not a fish

"Hey beautiful what's your name?" He asked as he caressed my cheek

"Zoe" I said

"Raymond I'll leave you two but please take it easy on her it's her first"

First time for what, what are this people trying to do

"Trust me" he said and winked

She nodded and went upstairs leaving me with fine uncle Raymond.

He started rubbing my laps he later told me to remove my cloth which I did obediently.

"Hmmmm, you're more beautiful without clothes on" he said as he massaged my breast I wanted to cry but I couldn't cos I liked it and hated it at the same time.

He pulled off his own clothes too and without wasting much time he inserted his member inside me that made me shout in pain begging him to stop but he didn't as he continued pounding me. After he was done he wore his clothes and gave me #3,500 naira

that was how I started my prostitution journey and I got used to it as time passed by so that was what I used to see myself through both secondary school and university." I said

"Wahoo, I'm really sorry" he said

"It's ok chief at least now you know why I did what I did it might not have been the best decision but it helped me" I said.....
