The Desire Within

Chapter 11

Dexinaiya was rubbing circles around the scars on her leg as she looked at herself in the mirror of her dressing room.

It had been 2 months since the club had opened. It was a booming business thanks to her dad's determination to have it advertised everywhere.

She had became the top requested dancer and the face of the club. Her dad expected this and that gave him a fuck ton of advantages. Receiving money left and right to no end just because of Dexinaiya.

Halfway through her business debut, Dexinaiyas mom decided to become a dancer as well to make some extra bucks. This did not stop her from treating Dex like shit. It was a habit at this point and Dexinaiya was in no position to object.

Who cares though right? What can she do to stop any of it?

The blank stare Dexinaiya had as she looked at herself only reminded her of what she's going through. It haunts her. Follows her.

A knock on her door breaks her daydream as she jumps back to reality. Scanning the door . Dexinaiya hesitates to answer.

" yes, what is it?"

There are multiple giggles from the other side of the door as Dexinaiya steps closer to her locked door.

" Dexinaiya your dad wants you in his office in 5"

Dex furrowed her brows as her dad was mentioned.

'I'm going on stage in 10 , what does he possibly want?'

Turning back around, Dexinaiya fixes her hair before heading to her dad's office.

Last time she was in there it was the day of the photo shoot, and she had acquired more unpleasant injuries due to her "lack of enthusiasm". He wouldn't possibly hurt her now?

Walking into the office , Dex saw her mom and dad talking. Her mom in her dance uniform sitting on the desk while her dad caressed her thigh. They looked " in love", which grossed out Dexinaiya. Internally vomiting.

" ah Dexinaiya, my daughter, come sit"

Dexinaiya walked to one of the seats in front of her dad before looking at her fingers. Her previous scars feeling as though they were starting to burn , she started rubbing them again. The sound of her heart bringing more anxiety as the silence continued. It was beating so fast, could they hear it?

Dexinaiya decided to take a quick glance at her parents. Her mom had turned to look at her with utmost disgust and disapproval and Dex quickly looked away as she felt her face go pale. The silence was killing her. Her body responding in fear giving her the utmost frustration.

" alright, I called you in to remind you of our little talk." her dad started. "You will not disobey me, you will not do anything that will prohibit me getting more money, and I mean anything. And most importantly, I'll always be watching you."

Dexinaiya could feel her body freeze up as her dad kept talking.

Always watching? How?

Dexinaiya hurriedly nodded as she was dismissed from his office. Her mom's smirk evident on her face. Fucking witch.

Heading to the entrance of the stage, Dex waited for her name to be called. Her mind going blank as her music started playing.

" next up gentlemen, The one and only, Dexinaiya!, she will rip your heart out and serve it for dinner!"

Once Dex walked onto that stage , hollers , whistles, and claps began to erupt.

Dexinaiya ignored them all as she focused her attention to her rehearsed movements that have been engraved into her mind.
