Sophia Rodrigues.

13:00" Black market" Italy.

It's been a day since I found myself in this horrible place, despite not understanding much their language, by the accent I believe I'm in Italy. I don't know how many times I've cried in despair over what happened to me, this environment is horrible, women are sold like objects." Yesterday, when I arrived, I made friends with a woman called Christina, the good thing is that I can speak a little English, and we stayed talking. Unfortunately, she was sold.

There is a woman in this place named Sônia, who seems to be responsible for taking care of the new kidnapped girls. I'm mistreated all the time and just because I'm fat, even the security guards make fun of me for not being like the others, I'm a woman out of standards." I was attacked for not waking up at the same time as the girls, I can't take it anymore, I just want to get out of here.

I am taken out of my thoughts when I feel a slap on my face, I look shocked at Dona Sonia who stares at me with hatred.

''Are you deaf by any chance? I've been calling you for a long time, you fat useless!!

And once again I received another slap, it was so hard that it made me fall to the ground.

'' Get up!!! I want you to go clean the main hall, because tonight you will be sold." He stated and then smiled." If someone wants you, of course. Otherwise, it will be placed in the bag.

My whole body shakes with fear upon hearing this.

''Come on!!!" I am startled and stand up." Go clean!!!

I run away from her and approach Vanessa who is another bad person.

''Here, you fat girl!" He shouted and handed me the broom." You can start cleaning the salon, I want that to shine, understand?

I nodded without being able to say a word, this place only has wicked people, with no love for others.

''Then get out of my way!' I got a strong push and almost fell to the ground.

I walk into the hall and feel my eyes fill with tears.

Breathe Sophia, breathe.

I mentally talk to myself.

I start sweeping the place very carefully so as not to break something and then get beaten up for it.

My dream was to be a model, now everything has turned into a big nightmare. Why does this only happen to me? What did I do to deserve something so terrible?

When I was little I dreamed of being a model, I watched the videos of plus models and fell in love. Since then I started to make an effort, I managed to learn a little English, I'm not so fluent, but I can manage. However, my efforts were in vain, the sweat I shed to get to São Paulo was a huge waste of energy and time, look at the place I find myself.

After I finished sweeping the floor I noticed a presence behind me, as soon as I turned around I came face to face with the owner of the place.

"Is it over yet?" He asked in a gruff tone.

"Y-Yes." I reply in a very low whisper.

''Get out of here before I kill you, girl!" He growled very irritated." It wasn't even supposed to bring an ugly fat woman like you.

I swallow back my tears and walk past him with my head down, whether or not this kills me, I already have a problem with self-esteem, so he and the other girls keep putting me down, I can't take it anymore.

Please, I just want to leave this place.

As soon as I approach Vanessa to return the broom, Dona Sonia approaches me.

''Come with me!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me very hard.

''It hurts.'' I complained about the pain and intentionally tightened his grip on my wrist.

'' Shut up!!

I keep my mouth shut and pray mentally that I don't get killed.

''Here!" I was pushed into a door." I want this room clean.

I see that it is very dirty, there are clothes lying on the floor and a lot of dust.

''You only eat when you finish this!" He dictated his rules and closed the door with me in the room.

I let out a sad sigh, there's no point in crying because nothing will change.

I start to pick up the clothes from the floor and put them on top of the small table, I take the broom and once again I start to sweep the floor.

****

18:00" Black market" Italy.

It took me five hours to finish cleaning this room, there was a lot of dirt and I confess that I stopped many times to rest, I didn't drink water until now, much less eat. I feel like I could pass out at any moment. The door was opened by Emma, ​​I like her for being so kind to me.

''Hi, Dona Sônia sent her back to her room, we should get ready for...." He suddenly shut up and I understood what he meant.

''To start the sale.'' I completed his speech and confirmed by nodding.

''Hurry up, I don't want her to come back and hit you.

I left the broom behind the door and walked out of this horrible room.

''I'm sorry for what they're doing to you, Sophia. You don't deserve this." I could feel the sincerity in his words.

I smile weakly, grateful for the support.

''It's okay, Emma. None of us deserve to go through this, we are not objects, but they treat us this way." She herself agreed with me.

''And still, I'm sorry for what happened to you. They pick on you more because you're...

"Fat." I said the one who didn't have the courage.

''You're not fat, you're hot.'' I end up laughing weakly at that.

''I wish I thought that about myself. She puts her hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me.

''Hurry up!!!!" We were startled when we heard Sônia's scream." You need to get ready!!

We approach her and I see that the other women are wearing a rather vulgar bikini.

''Here you fat girl!'' Vanessa arrived in a black bikini set.

''Go get ready, the clients will arrive in a short time." Dona Sônia pushed me into the room." I want them all ready in half an hour!" He says and leaves the room with Vanessa.

I watch closely the others who have a sad countenance.

No one deserves to go through something as terrible as this, they are monsters kidnapping women and selling them as if they were nothing.
