Chapter 4 our position

Chapter 4

Veronica's POV,

Days passed and Mr. went more and more often. Will at our bar.

Sometimes I just don't go with him whenever he asks. Bye bye I will pass a plate the next day. It always struggles to deliver me. That's why there was gossip in our bar that Mr. Will.

There was a clarification with us the next day after he confessed but he did not agree. He insists on courting me even when I refuse.

I just find it hard to be without him because of the debt I owe him.

"How is your work, Jade?" My friend Joyce asked me.

I'm at school now and on my way to work. I still have time to do assignments in the library first and now Joyce and I have decided to go home.

"I have a story for you." I told Joyce.

I want to talk to my friend about what is happening to me. He is my only friend who knows what I am thinking and doing.

I don't have any other friends besides him and a few of my coworkers.

"Someone likes me at work." My introduction.

"Your co-worker?"

"No. He's a customer of our bar. First, I thought it was his nature to help. He paid mom's hospital bill."

"Is it legit? The one you're talking about is 200,000 pesos?" He said in shock. I nodded.

"He invites me to dinner when he goes to a bar. He buys me something and then brings me home. Then I was surprised the other day, he confessed, he said he likes me."

"Eh, it's normal that someone likes you. You're good looking and not ugly. You're half of it." It's groin.

"Because I can't look at him as a boyfriend. I mean, I'm not against our age, but I just think of him as a father. You know how much I miss a father, right?"

"Wait, you said father. How many years has it been?" It was a shock with a little confusion.

"I think it's the 60's."

"Wow, that's a sign, sis. It's like your grandfather." He immediately disagreed.

"No. If he makes me fall in love with him, it's okay, but I can't like him as much as he likes. I only see him as a father. Then he's rich, sis. We're not a match." I said and smiled j pretended not to see him so as not to be recognized.

Next I removed my bottom and the only thing left was my red silk panties. I just keep dancing until the song ends. I finished my dance with a split before standing up and going downstairs to get dressed.

After I came out, Mr. Will opened the door for me.

"W-Will." I call it by its name.

He smiled and came to me.

"Let's go." He said it and he seemed to drink a lot.

"just wait---"

"I already talked to your Madam." He said with a smile. He held me by the waist and took me into his car.

I don't know where we are going. But I hope it's just dinner.

It held my hand so tightly during the flight that I couldn't take it back.

I immediately frowned when we stopped at a large mansion. Little by little, the nervousness in my heart came to life.

Please, that's not what I thought.

"Take me to the room. I'm a bit drunk. Hiccup!" That's why I just nodded. I asked where Mr.'s room was. Will. His bodyguard pointed to it and helped me climb it.

After we got to his room, I slowly took it down. The bodyguard came out after he landed. I helped him lift his foot and remove his shoes.

I was about to go out when he suddenly pulled me. I'm always on top of him. He smiled.

"ah, I-I'm going home." I said and was about to stand up when he suddenly reversed our position.

"You know how seductive you were earlier? I really like you, Jade." It said.

His face is so close to me that I can taste the wine he drank earlier.

The trepidation in my heart can't stop. My tears are about to fall.

"Just please be my girlfriend. I'm just 54 years old while you're 18. Am I right? Come on, it's just 36 years gap." He said to me while caressing my neck.

"M-Mr. Will. let go of me." Little by little, there is a crack in my voice.

"Not until you said yes. I invested so much for you. You're 'yes' can be your payment then we're even." It was a whisper close to my ear that made my hair stand up.

Fear. Fear overwhelmed my heart. What I was afraid of is happening. He is charging me, my life is in exchange.

"please, Mr. Will." I begged and felt tears welling up in my eyes.

"Shh, don't cry. Just say 'yes', baby." My hair stood up so much when he called me. He wipes my tears.

"it's like pity." Now I'm crying. I couldn't stop crying.

"Shh, it hurts seeing you cry, baby." He whispered in my ear and licked it lightly. I immediately moved away a little because the feeling was disgusting. "Say yes, baby."

I shook my head as I continued to cry.

"Say yes!" I was surprised by his sudden cry. But I still shook my head.

"You don't want it? You want a honeymoon first before dating?" It was angry and suddenly tore the uniform I was wearing.

I struggled but it was so strong that I couldn't push it away.

I'm screaming. Chances are someone will hear. But there is none.

He is now holding my chest while continuing to kiss my neck.

"It seems like a pity, Mr. Will." I'm begging you. "I agree."

It immediately stopped and moved a little away from me. But still running.

"Really?"

I nodded and cried.

I don't like you.

"Sleep here." He said and came to my side hugging me, not caring that my top was torn.

"I can get you out of that place." Will said calmly. I kept my eyes on my shoes because I couldn't look him in the eyes. I can't bear it.

"I'm not doing this for myself, Will. If you don't want to be gossiped about with a girlfriend who works at the club, you can divorce me." I said.

I was hoping that he would let me go, that he would appreciate his image more, that he would understand that I don't love him.

"No, I invested so much for you"

"You're criticizing me? I hope I don't accept your help." I would have interrupted his scolding again.

He always reminds me that he has helped me a lot, that I owe him a lot.

"I will do everything, just to pay you. Please, let me go." Tears welled up in my eyes again.

He immediately came to me and hugged me. He always does this every time I beg him to release me.

"Ok, I will agree that you will still work in that place, but not as a dancer, but as a waiter." He said while hugging me.

The next day, I stopped again near the black car.

"Oh why?" Joyce asked me.

"Ah, Joyce you go first. I'm just going somewhere." I told Joyce because I didn't want her to see me being picked up by a car.

No one knows that I am the girlfriend of Mr. Will. Joyce doesn't even know that Will and I are there, I don't plan to tell her either. I don't want him to wonder who the owner of the car is.

"Huh? Ah, okay. Take care, sis." He said and kissed my cheek. I waited a few minutes before approaching the car parked near me. Will's staff immediately opened the door for me.

I didn't run away anymore because I would only hurt Will if I did that again.

"At the club, Ma'am?" The bodyguard of Mr. Will.

"At my house first." I answered boldly.

Even though our house is close to my school, Mr. Will.

"I'm just going to the club. Don't wait for me, I have something to finish." I said. They nodded before leaving.

I was slightly surprised when mom greeted me when I entered. I came closer and was about to shoot when he suddenly pulled his hand away. I was about to leave when he spoke.

"You're getting better. I guess I made the wrong decision in letting you into the club." It said. I stopped for a moment and just waited for him to say the next thing.

"Do you know why I'm forcing you into the club?"

I can't bring myself to look back because I know that I will hear hurtful words from my mother's mouth again.

"I want you to pay for what your father did to me." She smirked. "I want you to experience what I experienced. I want the man you meet at the club to trust you and leave."

Tears immediately flowed from my eyes.

"It hurts what your father did to me. I thought he would take me with him when he left, but no, he left me. He even left you with me." His voice suddenly cracked so I knew he was crying.

"I don't know why I brought you back to life." He said it so I smiled bitterly at the same time as the tears fell from my eyes one after another.

"I know the man you're in a relationship with now will only rely on you..." he laughed lightly. "...because no one will like and take a girl like you seriously. That's why I'm letting you into the club."

I looked up slightly to stop the tears that were about to fall from my eyes again "Never, in my entire life, have I ever held a grudge against you. I know you only want to ruin my life, that's why you let me into the club. I did it. I put aside being conservative for you, to pay for the my father did to you." I faced him. "Even though I'm not at fault for what happened to you, I'm paying my father's debt to you, for what he did to you."

I forced a smile.

"I didn't want you to bring me back to life. I didn't want to live in the world and even more I didn't want what happened to you before to happen to you. I'm doing everything to make you accept me. I entered a job I didn't want because I wanted to reduce the pain that my father caused you, through my suffering. I just want to experience being loved by a mother. In my whole life, I have never experienced being hugged by you. During the times when I cried and came home with wounds, I have never experienced mother will attend and live with. I have never experienced coming home with food on the table. I am the one who wakes up early to prepare food for us. I tried to train my body to wake up on its own because I have never experienced being woken up by you."

It was quiet on one side while looking at me. I couldn't read any emotion in his eyes.

"I didn't resent all of that because I love you. I hope you love me too, I hope you love me too." I immediately went upstairs to get my things and went to work.

I didn't follow Will and dressed in an animal printed sexy suit with black undergarments to take off later.

While dancing, I was thinking about what my mother told me earlier.

If this is the payment for what father did to you, mother, I am willing to pay it because I love you. I hope...I hope you can accept me too.

I looked up at the person who was just staring at me with no emotion. It alone gulps what it loves to drink.

After I got off, he immediately pulled me to his seat. It gripped my waist tightly while examining the only thing I was wearing.

"What did I tell you?" He said to me in annoyance.

I don't know where I get the strength to smile at him.

"I'm sorry, Will." Just came out of my mouth. It suddenly became silent and just stared at me. I took what he drank earlier and drank it.

"What are you doing?" This is a question. But I didn't answer, instead I asked the waiter for a glass.

"Cheers?" I said with a smile. I could see that he was confused by what I was saying, but he reached for his glass earlier and drank with me.

We just drink until he decides to ask me home. We were behind his car.

I was stunned when I felt a kiss on my lips. I couldn't push it because I didn't have the strength and I knew I would only get hurt if I pushed him.

After a while, I felt a touch on my chest. Then I remembered that the only thing I was wearing now was the undergarments I was wearing earlier. At the same time, his lips ran down my neck.

I immediately came back to my trance and I suddenly pushed him. I immediately fixed my messy hair.

"Y-you promised me." I said while holding my fingers in my hand.

"Hey! Shh I'm sorry, my Jade. I was just carried away. I won't touch you until we're married." He said this and returned to his arrangement of the seat.

I know my whole life will be ruined if I sin against you, Will.
