White Lies

Chapter 11

Lilith's p o v :

My life couldn't have gotten worse. I feel like a fool for believing my father's words at the hospital. Sometimes people can get so convincing that you don't even know they're lying.

He agreed, Mike Jones, the man I love the most, my role model, who I'd do anything for, my father, he is going to work at Kartha's brothel. My heart is burning, its felt too much pain. I don't want it again, but I feel it all over again, thousand times worse than before.

The work my father came for and partly claimed was for me, it was all a lie. The work he had was with Kartha, nothing to do with me, whatsoever.

I was gonna fight with dad and tell him not to do it but the look in his eyes scared me, his eyes had lost all traces of warmth, love and kindness he held in them. His eyes empty with such coldness.

Just his eyes told me enough, that he wouldn't back down from this, no matter what.

Kartha took dad away from me, that too for such disgusting and filthy things, but that wasn't enough for her. She told me to pack every single thing of mine in this home, 'Elliot is coming tomorrow to take you with him' she said 'If you try to run away or do shit, I'll beat the living fuck out of you' she said. And I have no choice but to listen, I just started packing my stuff like I was told to.

I feel numb inside, out, no strength in me to fight back for myself, just pure exhaustion fills me as I keep the last pair of clothes I have in the suitcase and zip it up.

I lay down on the bed. I just realised that Kartha told his name, the man she's selling me to. So Samuel was right after all. It bothers me how he knows Elliot but I don't have it in me to think about it.

I stare at the ceiling, no thoughts in my mind as I stare hard at the ceiling.

The door to my room opens and Kartha steps in, looking at the suitcases and back at me.

"Good, you have packed." she says.

"I am here to teach you how to pleasure a man. You have to listen to anything and everything the man asks for, be it he wants u to lick his dick off after he pee-" I cut her off before she can continue spewing disgusting shit.

"I know very well how to please a man, mother. I am your blood after all." I say calmly, not wanting to anger her and cause her to blow off the steam by hitting me.

"Well, then. But I know you Lilith even if you do know how to please a man, you won't just give it to anyone. But you will do everything Mr.Elliot says, its what he's paying me for so, you better behave, I don't want a single complain." She says, shamelessly. Its as if I'm a kid who doesn't know how to respect elders and she's teaching me how to do it.

I am horrified, but I keep my face blank.

"Elliot is a ruthless bastard. He is a mafia what else would you expect. He is such a disgusting, agonizing, angering jerk, you'll hate him, thats for sure but you will do anything he says and bear his shit. He won't marry you but you are his once you step inside his mansion." She says so calmly and it enrages me, the little hope I had was shattered the moment Kartha said he is a mafia.

"Okay, mother, I'll do exactly that. I'll get some sleep now." I say and turn off the light switch by the bed.

"I won't be there when you leave so, goodbye." She says and leaves.

I wanna cry badly but the tears are stuck, they just stay inside me instead of letting the sourness out, it settles itself on my heart and stays there.
I close my eyes, but.

I don't sleep.
