In Love With Narco❤️

Recap: I opened my mouth to express the shock and anger that engulfed me at the same time but I couldn't form syllables let alone words. What I saw...

was shocking, wicked yet comical. “Is this guy joking?" I asked myself. There was a letter in the envelope which stated that all my salary would go into his bank account.

"What! All my earnings goes into your account? How do you want me to survive?", I protested. 

He got mad, “I don't care about you. I only want my money back, and this is the price you pay for having a stupid brother", he snarled. 

He told me to sign the agreement and I didn't hesitate because he had a gun in his hand. He shut the door angrily as he left. My life became a mess from that moment.

      *************

I walk back into the club in so much agony and dejection. Clara calls me as I approach the dressing room and we go to the bar instead.

“Hey girlfriend! Who was the man you ran after earlier? He looks handsome and rich", she wiggles her eyebrows in a tease . I watch her quietly for a while and eventually burst into tears.

“Amanda, What's wrong? Who was that man?" she asks again.

 “It was my boss, he fired me! He thinks I'm a dirty girl and even compared me to a slut". I release a new wave of frustrated tears.

“That's unfair. You may be half naked but that doesn't make you a floozie at all. Besides, if he was a decent man, what was he doing here then?" What she just said makes sense but it doesn't matter. Judging my boss won't make me get my job back.

“I'm really sorry Amanda. If I had the money for your rent, you wouldnt have worked here tonight and your boss wouldn't have fired you. Everything will be okay, just stay positive. You will get a new job soon", Clara stressed. She's always being so optimistic. Her next action surprises me though, she reaches into her small bag and hands me some cash.

“That's your payment, it's twice the amount of your rent fee", she says with a highly contagious smile that slowly creeps up her face.

I contact it, only, mine feels grateful and more genuine as I walk towards the dressing room to change my clothes. I pack up and leave the club.

               ************

 I couldn't get a cab so I had to walk farther to the junction. I noticed someone was following but when I looked back, the person was gone. This kept going for a while and I had no choice but to run. This time, the person reveals himself and runs after me. 

A black benz almost runs me over as I try to cross to the other side of the street and I am forced to halt. The guy behind me immediately takes advantage of the situation. He holds a gun to my waist and instructs me to keep mute. Someone comes out from the back of the car and surprise, no surprise, it is Andrew. He smirks as he walks towards me.

"It's been a while Amanda. How have you been? I'm sure you know why I'm here. I need some money", he quirkes a brow and his brown eyes glints with evil.

“I'm short of cash right now but  I'm going to pay you when I get my salary", I lower my voice.

“How are you going to pay me when you don't even have a job?" I am startled but I try not to show it as I wonder how he got to know that I've been fired.

“Don't be surprised Amanda. My men are monitoring your moves and I know everything that's been happening.I'm here for the cash that was given you at the club", he continues halfheartedly.

“I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have any cash on me."

“ Oh really! Would rather I get it from Clara instead?" He's angry now as he snatches my bag and empties my purse.

 He scowled as he sees the money and grabs my neck angrily, “you know I hate lies. Don't mess with me Amanda", he scoffs as he pushes me to the ground. 

“ I need this money to pay for my rent. I would be thrown out tonight if I don't give my landlady this money." I cry desperately and for once, he looks human as he lifts me up and  holds my hands with tenderness.

“I don't care about you. You had better get a new job and fetch me some money", he whispers and gets into his car. The scoundrel!

 He zooms off leaving me to my despair, and I behold my cellphone, damaged beyond repair. I'm sure it fell sometime during the scuffle with Andrew. At this moment, I feeI jinxed. It feels like life has turned against me. I take a seat at the junction and begin to think of the best explanation that would save me from Madam Rose' trouble tonight.

**********

Seeing Madam Rose standing with my luggage as I approach the gate, sets my heart beating at a terrible pace. I lower my eyes as soon as I behold her scary glare. I know exactly what she wants but regardless, I'll try out my luck.

“Actually.......", she shuts me up by raising her index finger.

" I knew it! I saw this coming. I knew you would come up with an excuse. Sorry to tell you this but someone already paid and moved into your apartment!" she says with an air of finality, throws my luggage to the street and orders me to leave. I grab her hand to plead with her for one more chance but she maintains her resolve.

“Amanda! What else do you want me to do? Everyone in this building pays their rent yearly but I made you an exception and gave you the rare opportunity of paying yours monthly but you still can't afford it. What do you do with your salary anyway?  Buy clothes and jewelleries? Get out of here!", she hammered.

I scan my belongings and as she turns to go, I stop her abruptly when I find out that my credentials are missing............
