“You shouldn’t have turned down the food. It did nothing to you.” She winked... a failed attempt to lighten my mood up. Tessy exhaled as she sat next to me. “Try and see the silver lining here. You won’t be selling your kidney.” An awkward smile tugged at the corner of her lips. Another failed attempt to lighten my mood.
I had tried to see the silver lining, but there was none, as I ended up selling my whole being.
A knock thudded on the door, followed by a louder thud as the door collapsed to the floor.
My eyes widened. The loan shark man strutted into my apartment, his hands dipped into his pocket. Instinctively, I curled up, covering my almost naked body.
The man’s eyes darkened as his eyes raked over me. A smile formed on his lips and he drew closer. Curling his around my wrist, he yanked me off the sofa.
“I thought you gave me a week.” My voice quivered.
“I changed my mind.” His eyes lingered on my cleavages. “You have a beautiful body. How about you pay me in another way?" He pinched my chin and forced my gaze to meet his horny eyes.
A crawling sensation journeyed beneath my skin. His breath against my skin burnt disgust into me.
