LILLIEAfter getting out of that crazy guy's car, I got into my house as fast as I could, locking the door behind me, so he wouldn't follow me and try to get in. Just thinking about it gave me the creeps.That man did not give me confidence, but the truth is that I was very intrigued to know more about him, maybe the crazy one was another one for thinking that way. I had arrived home on time, they still hadn't brought my niece and I had time to prepare something to eat. But before doing so, I send a message to Mika to let her know that I was already at home, we had arranged to meet here, I wanted her to know about my work at the club and my mother's situation.Half an hour later I had already prepared something to eat for my dear niece and I had also saved something for Alex. Sandy had already been brought in and was in her room doing homework, she was a very dedicated and obedient girl.Minutes later, the doorbell rings and I go over to make sure it is my friend and not those guys. V

LILLIEAfter mentally debating with myself on the issue of whether to take the money or not, I accept it. I know I was treading on dangerous ground, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity, he had only asked in return that I stop working at the club, and it was one thing I had wanted to do for a long time, but just because I needed the payment I wouldn't let him.I knew I shouldn't trust that guy, but for that moment I was going to risk it. He couldn't force me to do something I didn't want to do, and he had told me he wasn't going to take me by force, that gave me hope that he wouldn't hurt me.A minute later Julie came in to check whether or not I had accepted the new deal. When I said "yes" she just kept silent for a long moment, as if she was questioning something, but I didn't know what because she didn't tell me anything about it, she just asked me to dance for the last time that night as a farewell. I agreed to dance out of gratitude, she had helped me a lot and the only thing

LillieI'm still trapped in that strong arm, glued to him. Our bodies are sideways to the living room, where my mother and sister are. My gaze goes from him to them; I notice them with an expression of confusion and astonishment. The Devil still won't let go of me. I return my gaze to him to inform him with my eyes to let me go. Without taking his eyes off me he slowly releases me and without putting distance he stays in the same position. His face turns to my family and he smiles again with mock joy."What are you up to?"-Good morning. -He approaches my mother. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. -He takes her hand and chivalrously kisses it. Dante Mancini," he completes his introduction with an exuberant smile. These are for you. -He hands her the beautiful bouquet of orchids."For a moment I thought they were for me."I just squint at her performance.-My pleasure. -My mother breaks out of her astonishment to respond with a friendly smile as well. Elena Watson. They are beautiful

LillieShe left me baffled with all her phony acting. My family bought into all the kindness he showed them. Plus, they freak out about him. On that note, I understand them. I can say that some other time it happened with me too, but I don't have to let that happen again. I can't indulge him in whatever he wants. If I do, he'll think he has the upper hand with me and he'll think he'll have me eating out of his hand. I have to think smart and shrewd. I need to, as all this is confusing me. I can't believe that in the short time he has been gone I am already starting to miss him. It's stupid and senseless, but something in me changes.I have a headache from not having slept very well. My mind kept thinking about him, so I couldn't get to sleep. My sister gave me something for the pain. I meet her in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Today is Sunday, so she's not working, so it's her turn to cook.-Everything all right? -I ask her when I notice she is distracted.-Yes, why shouldn't I be?

Lillie-I insist we should leave," I say as we enter the place my friend dragged me to. I don't like it here.-Stop complaining. -She pulls my arm to move me forward. We're not staying, I'll just check if she's cheating on me and then we'll leave.I snort in annoyance.My friend is getting obsessed with that guy. It's the first time she's done this. She's never gone to the extent of keeping tabs on one of her conquests or boyfriends or whatever they mean to her before.The place is very different from the place we usually work. This is a table dance, but one of those low key ones. Where we work we only dance without taking off our clothes and other girls offer escort service. Sleeping with the clients is not allowed. Here, apparently, it's the opposite. On the dance floor there are half-naked girls and others sitting next to or on top of their clients. They grope them. There are some who even have sex in the aisles, I say this because just now we passed a couple moaning as they moved
