Hired

Chapter 10

Eva

I have been so caught up in my own misery, that I haven't thought about the other girls here, 

Why they flirt and dance for the lustful men as if programmed to do so and have no other choice, why they did it with wide smiles on their faces, I wondered what their stories were, are they held captive, like I am?

The more I pondered on it the more I wanted to get out of here, but I will just have to wait until I get my paycheck, that would be enough to sustain me for a day or two until I find another job,

"Stop lazing around Maria." Pink shot at me, before moving towards the back, It's excruciating how it's barely midnight and I am already exhausted,

"Hey.." A voice called and I looked up to see a man waving an empty bottle at me, I sighed and turned to ask one of the girls at the bar for a drink,

She pulled out another bottle and handed it to me and I stalked over to the customer and dropped drink, his eyes then scanned me sly with a cocky smirk tugging at the corner of his lips,

"Non ti vedo intorno."

{I haven't seen you around}

"Thank you.." I replied, not bothering to ponder on the foreign words he had uttered,

"Ah, English lady... " I wish everyone would quit calling me that, "I like English women, they very nice, do you like Italian men? Italian men good...you know." He winked and spanked my bum as I turned to leave,

I quickly turned to him instantly furious, "Look, pal, I don't know the kind of:-" before I could lash out on him, a girl jumped, giggling and swaying her hips on him.

Pink reached out and grabbed arm, pulling my away as the man got throughly distracted by the girl,

"What do you think you're doing?" She hissed at me,

"He was being disrespectful!"

"Maria, such acts would get you in serious trouble around here." She cautioned,

"I don't want to work here anymore." I grumbled and glanced back at the stage where few of the girls were dancing around the pole,

"Egli ottiene sempre i più deboli, lasciando con tutto il lavoro sporco dopo." Pink lamented to herself and I turned to her, "C'mon.." She said and dragged me with her,

I followed her down an empty hall, "Where are we going?" She says nothing as we continued walking down the endless hall and down to what looked like a basement, Until we stopped at a door, she pulled out a key and unlocked it, before opening It wide for me,

"Go in." She ushered,

I stepped into the over stalked basement, She turned on the light revealing a basement filled with labeled boxes and a bed to the side, "Why did you bring me here?"

"You need to learn to adapt to this new life or you get yourself killed." My eyes widened, "If you think these men are dangerous, Russo Val is 10 times worse, you don't want to get on his bad side."

I ran my hand on my face, "You have to tell me how to get out of here?"

"I can't ...You signed the contract so he owns you now."

"What if I call the cops? They can get him arrested and shut this all thing down."

"You'll get shot before you reach the damn phone, don't even think about it.." She adjusted her tight costume, turning towards the mirror, "I need to get back out there, before Russo gets suspicious...You stay here and pull your ass together." She tells me, moving toward the door, she then switches off the light and with that, she left, leaving me in dark.

I stumbled my way to the bed and feeling the soft mattress, I sprawled myself on it and curled tightly to my knees, spraying through the darkness,

It had once again felt like I was in my cell and that scared more than anything else.
