TWO YEARS LATER.

  "Vixen! Come over here please, you need to get ready Cecily isn't coming in tonight!"

I let my mouth drop open, this is bullshit!
I was off for the night and now I have to work for some bitch? I walked straight to Tanya not minding the stares I got from the girls.

Wearing a red lingerie I was partially naked and my dark glowing skin seemed to bring out the jealousy in people, it was God's gift to me so I have learned to love it.

Tanya was a pretty lady who held all the girls close to her heart, she joined the Ernesto family at age ten and now she was forty. She taught me everything I knew today and was like a mother to me, much better than my late mother.

I saw Tanya dressing up a newbie and I went and stood at her side.
  "I heard you call me Tanya, what's up?"

Tanya threw me a quick look and went back to powdering the poor girl who looked like she was about to cry.
"You should get ready vixen, after this dollie you're up next."

I scoffed. "Babe please, I am off for tonight and I ain't taking anyone's place."

Tanya didn't look at me this time she just kept working fast with her hands.

"I know you are off girl, I drew the damn roster! The boss wants Cecily to spend the night with him. So go get ready to shake that ass."

I wasn't up for this shit.

"Tanya, what do I get in all these? Roberto should know me well by now. I don't do stuff for free, I am way past that level. If he wants a night with his girl, then I am taking more cut after the dance."

Tanya suppressed a laugh and continued to style the girls hair and whispered lowly. "You amaze me Amara."

She was the only lady in here that knew my real name, everyone called me vixen because that's what I wanted them to call me.

I folded my arm and smiled. "Why?"

"You have such a strong heart. You are the only one who calls the boss by his name and you challenge him, not even Cecily does that. Sure you're not blood related?" She asked quizzically.

I let out a broad grin.  She thought I was cool because I call the boss by his goddam name?

"Y'all need to show these men how to respect you. I don't give two shits about who you are when it comes to what I want."

Tanya just shook her head and motions for me to move to the changing room. "Go on Vixen, wear something flaming, that was the boss orders, he said he wants his men to be alert when they move out tonight."

I paused on my way to the changing room. "What do you mean, move out?" I asked Tanya.

"What? You don't know that the boss has a secret mission tonight?"

  I shook my head in total confusion. No.

"Damn girl! Where do you live? Under the rocks? The boss and his men will be leaving tonight. I don't know where and no one's asking."

"Are we going to be left on our own?" I asked hopefully.

"Oh come on, there's never an alone time here girlie, we are gonna have some men watch us and make sure we're of our best behavior, like we are a bunch of kids." She finished sarcastically.

"Oh." I let out a sigh, which Tanya picked up. I looked up and I knew she had heard the disappointment in my voice.

Yup! She was that good.

Tanya spared me a glance. "What? You seem disappointed, what's wrong?"

I didn't want Tanya to know that I still had plans to leave this place for good, I had to tell her something else.
"I hope Paolo isn't staying back?"

She finished dressing the girl up and ushered her out of the makeup room. "I am sorry  dear, he is. This time he has work to do here."

I nodded.

Paolo had tried to make my life here miserable since day one. I had to defend myself on several occasions from his vicious assault but he wouldn't lay low.
Tanya had pleaded with me to tell Roberto, but I didn't want to cause a rift between the two.

" I will go get ready, see you in five."  Tanya smiled and watched me leave.

An hour later.

    I had finished my work for the night, my outfit was a red corset, thong, gaiters and a sexy bold make up that screamed hot!
I was confident in my moves and I felt accomplished as I had made the crowd happy, mostly the male folks.  I stood in my room and watched from the window as the black cars about six of them drive out of the compound.

If I wanted to leave I had to do it now!

I didn't pack up a suitcase because that would be too risky and it would slow me down. I picked up my swollen purse which contents was all the money I had made for the night.

Here we weren't allowed to save money, we were given food, cloth, jewelries and anything you want, even your freedom although only when you're married to a member of the family, but we weren't allowed to possess cash.

I moved quietly and steadily, I had decided to take the back route but when I got there I saw him and he wasn't alone. I quietly ducked at a corner all the while trying to get the voice of the other occupant since the face wasn't visible.

The two men were deep in conversation, I couldn't hear them clearly and I didn't want to be caught and get in trouble with this man especially when Roberto wasn't home, he was very dangerous and heartless so I stood up from my hiding position and headed for my room, as I turned toward the direction of my room I heard him say.

"What a pity, he left not knowing that he wouldn't be back."

I didn't understand what he meant so I shrugged and left quietly. I couldn't leave today but I will someday.
