THE STRANGE ENCOUNTER'S

•••••It was mid summer and living in the countryside,it was extremely hot. El Paso,Texas was the birth place of Emily Ethan.

Born to a family that majorly reared cattle and sold diary products,it wasn't enough to meet up with the society demands and that made Emily take to stripping as a means of survival.At day time,she stacked the dollars,at night time,she was in clubs. As a stripper,she'd earn quite a lot of money and being a famous one,her number of clients and pay increased.

Emily being very beautiful with dyed pink hair,she was tall almost 6ft with a figure worth dying for. While other strippers were known for going under the knives to achieve the perfect Nicki Minaj look, Emily was born with natural curves and thickness that most strippers were jealous of. Emily cared less. All she was all about was,making money and securing that bag. She had a family to look after and siblings that looked up to her.It was midnight and she was getting dressed up in the locker room. Her three close pals,Antoinette,Janelle and Roselyn were both seated in stools,getting their makeup done."I've gotta make more money tonight to pay up my rent. I've got two weeks or they kicking me out." Antoinette said."We gonna make more money,don't worry. We already practiced the routines. It's up to us and afterwards,we stacking that dollar bill." Emily said.

"Yes girl!!" Janelle and Roselyn squealed happily.Antoinette being the lowest paid stripper was always finding it difficult to wow the men in the club. She gets little or no tips and some times,men don't throw up cash at her while she's performing. She stared at her reflection in the mirror while being lost in her thoughts. Thoughts of quitting or just continuing with this kinda lifestyle.She glanced at her friends,watching them giggle and chatter. Unlike them,she was skinny with A-cup sized boobs and a flat ass. The men preferred thicker girls which her friends weren't lacking and she,she felt like an outcast. She sighed and then began filling her brows.

A man in formal clothes moves into the locker room with a mic in his hand."Sweeties,ain't ya ready yet?" He asked,beaming with smiles."I'm done,it's just Antoinette and Emily." Janelle says as she gets up from her stool.The man walks to where Roselyn sat. They shared a brief kiss which disgusted Emily."You girls are gonna be making a whole lot of money. We just spotted some big shots in the club tonight."

He said."I'm guessing it's Akira's lucky day. She's always lucky with the billionaires." Emily said."With that fat ass of yours,you could get lucky." He said.

"Jade. You are the pimp and you know that Akira does the job better than we do." Emily said.Jade knew that she was lying. Everyone knows Emily was the audience favorite and men literally paid higher to watch her strip for them in private.Jade being the club manager was so fond of her and because she pulled more dough and customers,she was paid twice the amount the other strippers received.

"You should be out in the VIP room in the next 20mins,Emi. Some old geezers already paid to have you perform for them." Jade said.Emily drops her makeup brush on the desk.

She wasn't particularly happy about it. She hated private sessions with a few clients because most of them were abusive and that had resulted her into throwing fists at them.She sighed,she would say it's not her fault as it is what she had signed up for from the very beginning. To her,most of these men lacked manners and they were too desperate as most of them saw her as a sex doll.She hated men,especially the ones who couldn't treat women properly.

"I'm done,Jade. Lead me to them." She said.Jade happily moves out of the locker room with her. She was wearing a white furry shaw over lingerie she had on. As she kept following jade,she was lost in her own thoughts. She was contemplating on either leaving El Paso or simply telling Jade to increase her pay.

The thing is,she owes Jade a lot of money and she needs to strip tease a whole year to be able to pay off the debt.It was as a result of her mother being diagnosed with cancer and she had to borrow a lot of money for her chemotherapeutic treatments. Jade being greedy,paid everything off under the condition that she would have to work for him for four years. This is her third year and what she wished for,was to move out of Texas and away from him.

Jade was notorious for molesting the ladies and treating them like trash but because Emily banked more cash for him than the rest,he treated her differently.Emily moves into the cozy place with Jade who was eager to introduce her to the new clients.He trotted to where the old men sat and then,he gives them a bow.

"Thanks for you patience. Can I introduce y'all to the beautiful and amazing... Juice De El Paso." He said,gesturing to Emily.Emily made catwalks to the pole while taking off the shaw. The men leaned into the couch in excitement as they anticipated her performance."Don't forget to throw some money at the feet of the spectacular performer." Jade says,winking at the men.Emily flowed with the music,seductive climbing the pole and connecting with the men. As she strips,they both threw chunks of money at her,clapping in excitement at each movements she made.She swirled on the pole and choreographed to the music. When she was done,the men clapped happily and gave her bundles of $100 dollar bill.

"She's really as good and sexy as you said." One of them says to Jade."I would never lie to a client,dear sir." "What about she spends the weekend with us,hm? We are ready to pay $100,000 to have her all through the weekend and we promise to give her a good time." The second man said,smirking at him.Jade glanced at Emily who was now pulling on her lingerie.

"Well... can you gimme some minutes? Imma talk to her and get back to you." They both nodded and Jade scuttled to where she stood."Emily..." he whispers.Emily turns around to look at him."Yeah?""Those old geezers wanna have you all weekend. They are gonna be dropping $100,000 and you know,we can't fuck shits up."Emily glances at the men who were now drinking from their tumblers and chatting

"I don't think I'm interested. They are rather too old.""They are big shots.""Still,I am not interested." She said while walking to where her shaw laid.

"But you don't have a choice. You work for me." Jade snaps.Emily picks up her shaw and then turns around to look at him."I don't care.

I work for you,yes. But I also have to make my own decisions and no means no." She said.Angered,she walks out of the section and towards the door that led to the backyard of the club. When she got out,she comfortably sits on a pavement. It was her favorite spot and this was where she does all the thinking.

"I wanna leave this horrible place. I can't believe Jade would want me to sleep with those old men. What the hell?! Do I look like Akira?!!" She fumes.

She had hated stripping for Jade because she couldn't get to be herself. This was the first time she had rejected an offer from Jade and she knows,Jade was gonna make things difficult for her here afterwards.'What am I gonna do?' She thought."Sincerely speaking ma'am,this place doesn't suite your talent."

A masculine voice said from behind her.She quickly turns around to see an unfamiliar man standing at the entrance. Ordinarily,no one could come here except the staffs and the strippers."What do you mean?" She asks."Wouldn't it be a fair question if I asked you what you wanna do with your life? I mean,look at you. Thick ass and hips,pretty face,an hourglass figure and good pole dancing skills. Girl,you can make more money in many big strip clubs. Jade is a fucker,he is only exploiting you."

"So watchu want me to do?" She gets up from her sitting position to face the man."I know of a club that is hiring strippers and the pay is very good. Plus,you take 40% of what you earn every night."On hearing what he just said, Emily's face brightened.

"That's... wow!""Yes,wow. I know the manager,a very good friend of mine. If you don't mind, I could talk to him on your behalf."

"That's great..." She walks to where he stood,"... but where is this place?"

"California."She couldn't contain her joy as she squealed in excitement. She had always loved the idea of working in a place farther away. California had been her dream place and she never made plans of visiting there because she had no one living there that could shelter her.

She always heard that things were really expensive over there and that one could go broke due to the taxes."Free accommodation and security. Moreover,you get to do what you want and make your decisions." He grinned. Emily was so overjoyed that she hugged him."Oh thank you,thank you very much." She says."No problem."She breaks from the hug.

"So when do you think is best for me to leave?""Tomorrow Evening..." he takes out a business card from his pocket."... call me. I will disclose to you my location and then,I will fly you down to California."

She collects the card from him and began reading what was written on it."I will definitely give you a call,Mr...?"

"Benson,But you can call me Ben." He said before giving her a sweet smile."Okay Mr Ben,I gotta go. I have got other things to do." She says and then,she stuffs the card into the boobs' cup of her lingerie.

"Tomorrow then?"she nodded with a smile on her face."Of course,tomorrow." She said.She leaves Ben behind as she walks into club thinking,she haven't thought about yet,she was convinced in her heart that this was her moment.She have to leave El Paso and she needs to see the outside world.

She wasn't going to tell Jade about it,after all,this was her chance to be free from his clutches.

•••••The warmth of summer which is then accompanied by fall,reminded Noah of his childhood. Having lost his mother in a ghastly motor accident and growing up with little or no affection from his father,he had lived a life of which he thought,being less emotional,was what makes a man.

Noah Clerkson,CEO of the multi billion dollar Clerkson dynamo industries and Transcorp Merchandise Inc.,he was the most sought after eligible bachelor in all of California and beyond.

Tall,about 6ft5,strong muscular build,an unparalleled handsome face that gave off an ethereal beauty. Black,short wavy hair,thick black well trimmed eyebrows,a long attractive nose connecting to a set of adorable lips. His smile could put one in a dazed state and his deep masculine voice was charming enough to sweep a lady off her feet and visible long eyelashes that were the envy of many women.Being known as a notorious playboy,he was always on the headline news and blogs for his various involvement with ladies of different classes and statuses. Many people thought that he was cold hearted and mean,and his charitable deeds were all an act to hide who he truly was.

Little did they know,he is a lost soul earnestly looking for love."I was told you were looking for me,father."

Noah said as he moves into the big study of his father's bedroom.His father,Mr Fredrick Clerkson,a notable figure and a pioneer of modern technological development.

A tall,old man in his late sixties.He was busy reading a newspaper and was sitting on a swivel chair behind a broad desk."Yes..." he peers at his son through his spectacles.

... have you read the papers of lately?"Jaider stood in front of the desk while holding his father's gaze."Not at all.""I see..."fredrick slams the newspaper on the desk for him to see it,"... Billionaire playboy,Noah Clerkson caught making out with famous runway model Adele E. Adder in his Lamborghini! Really?!!" Fredrick snaps.Noah sighed on remembering what he did last night with the model.

His uncontrollable and unquenchable thirst for sex always had him in one situation or the other."Shit happens,father. I was just carried away besides,Adele and I are dating and..."

"What an unseemly excuse from a blatant liar like yourself! Do you know that by bearing my name,you represent me?!! I made sure the name you luckily bear was at the forefront of industrialization,yet,all you do is put a dent in MY NAME!!!" Noah bows in respect.

"I apologize,father."

"Oh... you are apologizing and then afterwards,you go back to being a breeding horse. You should have told me that you wanted to go about screwing up bitches."

"It's not what you think. It just that...""Shut up you insolent toerag! I should have requested for your abortion if I had known you would only bring disgrace to me!!"On hearing what his father just spouted,Noah lowered his head.

His father was always fond of ridiculing him and putting him down in front of people ever since he was a child. He always got the blame for his mother's death and since he was the only legitimate son, Fredrick had no choice but to make him CEO as he began to age and fade.

Noah on the other hand,never liked his father. He despised him and always wished the old man could just die. If not for him,Transcorp and Clerkson dynamo would have fallen a long time ago. He worked ceaselessly to grow the two companies yet,his father saw him as incompetent,shallow minded and a disgrace which contributed 80% to why he took to sleeping around with many women.

"I am sorry,Father." Noah apologizes again."Get out! Get out of here before I do something harmful to you!!"Noah clenches his fists as he turn around to leave. No matter how much he thinks about it,he was never loved by his father.

*****"You always come to me whenever you are angry or in pains,my love. It always made me think if I was some kinda placebo to you or your solitude." sofia Champagne said. Sofia Champagne...Famous runaway model and one of Nosh's many sex partners.Being rich and famous was Noah's way of familiarizing with women. He didn't have to do much,they came to him with relative ease."Sofia,if you don't feel comfortable with me coming to visit you,I will leave." Noah came visiting sofis after he had that conversation with his father. Angered and bitter,he decided that the only thing he could do to ease him off his bad temperament,was to meet up with one of his many women.Sofia was one of his favorite and most favored. People had suspected and hoped that a blooming relationship would occur between the both of them,but Noah wasn't ready for commitment.Sofia folds her slender arms underneath her bosom. She stood in front of her hotel room door with Noah standing in front of her,dressed up in casual clothes and she was only wearing a robe with nothing underneath.Many times,she had tried to get Noah to date her but he wasn't all too serious with her and she had wished that he could be more open to her like he always was whenever they had sex."I find it insulting,Noah. Do I look like a sex toy to you?" She asked."I pay you well to be my partner in bed whenever I needed it. If you feel that you can't be considerate with that,I might as well take my leave." He said,he was about walking out on her when she quickly grasped his wrist."Noah... you don't have to leave. Come inside,let me give you a good time."Noah gave her a slight nod and they both moved into the room. It was sofia reserved spot after a job she did today. Actually,Noah owns this hotel.She had modeled for a magazine this morning and then decided to retire here after the hectic hours of posing and getting dressed up in designer clothes.She held on to Noah as he mesmerized her with hasty kisses. His deep kisses whenever they french kissed was something that always blew her mind away. On seeing Noah and hearing about his reputation,she had thought he was a no good,rash guy. But the times he had done it with her,to her,he was compassionate.Right now, Noah wasn't taking things slow with her. When he tugged on her robe and then pulls it roughly down her shoulders,she was forced to stop kissing him."Noah...?!""I don't wanna waste much time here..." he scoops her up in his arms and then dumps her on the big bed,"... I have business meetings to attend to. Let's make it snappy." Sofia spreads her legs to look at her delicate petals. Sofia would have sworn that she did see a glint of anger in his eyes and he was trying to suppress it. She had always asked herself if Noah only came to her to relieve himself of his bad moods or should she say she's lucky to be able to offer him solace?Noah unbuttons his shirt and then pulls it off from his body. He unbuckles his belt casually,"Why are you staring at me like that?" He asks.He could see the way sofia was staring at him and her thoughts were readable on her expressive face."You are still worried that I only come to you when I am angry. Isn't that a good thing? Don't I pay you to pleasure me?" He asks in a rather calm voice.Sofia knows that Noah could be extremely aggressive whenever he got angry and she wouldn't want to open a sore wound especially now that she couldn't tell what his mood is like.In front of her,he looked like a calculative predator who was estimating the defensive mechanism of its prey before it attacks. His calm and subtle look could be mistaken for a good feeling,deep down,she knew he would tear her to pieces if she dared spoke out of terms.She gulped. She had no choice. He pays her well for this. All she had to do was to spread her legs.She moves the robe away from her body,showing him her nakedness. Noah's wicked eyes grazed her slender body. Every sharp curve and endearing perfection.He zips down his pants and in a matter of seconds,his manhood sprung freely from his briefs. Sofia could not hide her excitement on seeing his erect masculinity. The hugeness of it caressed her cores and she licked her lips in response to her stimulation.She wanted to touch it,but she feared he might say harsh things to her. Noah practices sadism with her and although his words were cruel,it was only arousing to her whenever he slams his thickness into her."Stay in the doggy position for me." Noah says while stroking his cock.Sofia quickly turns around,her bosom and knees on the bed,her butt up and in front of him.She clenched the sheets as she anticipated the penetration. She stroked her clitoris to stimulate her arousal and when she felt his thick phallus head poking her opening,she squirmed and quivered."My father only sees me as a disgrace and to him,I am a nonentity..." he pushes his cock into her vagina roughly and Sofia whimpered to the feeling of his manhood forcefully splitting her walls apart. He didn't waste anytime,he pulled few inches out and then slams it into her again."... I was the one who made his fucking companies what they are now. Do I look like a joke to him? I should have known..." Noah clutches her thick curly hair and then,he pulls her up."... that ungrateful father of mine would never see me as a prodigy neither would he ever appreciate my worth...""Noah...! Please... have mercy..." Sofia pleaded but Noah only grew more angrier as he kept ramming his cock into her deep passage. He pushes her head down on the bed roughly. Sofia could not withstand the agonizing pain she was feeling. He kept burrowing his shaft into her in a steady,fast and powerful motion that made her whimper and whine."St-Stop... please stop,I cannot bear it anymore." She cried.Noah tightens his hold on her hair. When she wanted to crawl away from him,he held her in place."Do not run away from me,you bitch!!" He yells.Sofia cried and sniffled. It was as though she was being raped by him. She could sense the ferocity in his haggard breathing as he lowered his body downwards to whisper in her ears."You should stop crying,You only look pathetic this way. Oh... you don't like my cock anymore,huh?"She shook her head.He gave off a snickering laughter."You said you like men with manhoods this big...""Don't insult me,Noah! You don't even value my existence!! You are nothing but a scary motherfucker!!! I heard you are a psychopath. I wonder why a demonic man like you could actually be walking amongst good natured people like me!!"Noah pauses as he stares down at Sofia. The anger flashed in his eyes and immediately,he grabs her neck and began strangling her."You called me a psychopath and demonic person,Sofia. How dare you?" He asked,his voice was cold and looming.Sofia began choking and struggling to get his hands off her neck. She was terrified when she saw the ghostly glare on his face."You have the nerve! Is it because I favor you?!!" He yells. "Noa... Noah...!"Noah swiftly takes out a pen from his pocket and in one quick movement,he stabs her in the neck with it. Sofia splattered blood on his body as she retched. Noah releases her neck as he watched her struggle. He smirked.After few minutes of her fighting for dear life,she then dies. Noah glances at the blood stained bed as he moves out of it. He walks to where the telephone stood on the cabinet beside the bed. He dials the reception. It rang for a while and then,the receptionist picks."Come take out the body and clean up this place. I am done with her." He said."Yes sir."He drops the phone call."Since I cannot kill you yet,Father. I will have to wait for the time you would finally fall into my trap and then,I will kill you with my bare hands." He said while staring at his opened palms.*****

That same morning Emily was at the club with the rest of the girls to make accounts. She sat on a couch smoking from a hookah while Jade and some staffs were busy stacking the dough and tying it up with bands.It's only natural that many strippers stole from the money they made and she wasn't left out."Nice job,girls.

Since y'all ain't working tonight,y'all should go have fun." Jade said.The girls grumbled and murmured. Emily didn't concern herself with whatever they were saying and she didn't care.

"It was disrespectful of you not to accept those men offer."

Jade pointed a pen at her.Emily pauses in her smoking,she then places the hose on her thighs."Those men were beyond 50yrs according to what I heard.""Does that matter? As a stripper,you are also supposed to be able to give pleasure.""I don't dig old men. I am not Akira."

Emily blurted out in a nonchalant manner."Hey! What do you mean?!!" An angry Akira spoke.Liu 'Akira' Wang.Emily's colleague and rival and she's more experienced than her."I was just saying"

"Shut yo trap,bitch!

It's not like you don't mess around with the club bouncers!!" Akira yells.Emily chuckles lightly while steering at her."I won't deny it. I am not the one who can't take big penises yet,chooses to fuck with old men with short pens."

She taunted.Something snapped in Akira's head. The girls beside her quickly held her from going to face Emily.Emily crosses her legs as she watched Akira hurl abusive words at her. When she glances at Jade,she saw he was glaring at her.

She got up from the couch she was sitting on."Where do you think you are going?" Jade asked.She shrugged her shoulders.

"Home. Need my beauty sleep and I am tired."

"But we haven't finished the meeting.""Well,I can't wait. After all,Akira wishes to kill me and I want to avoid that. She is acting like a randy animal that was let lose of lately.Akira fumes and exploded like an atomic bomb.

"THAT'S IT. COME SAY IT TO MY FACE!!""Nope." Emily chuckles."I AM GONNA KILL YOU!!!"

Akira yells as she struggles to break free.Emily turns around to leave."You wish..." She glances at her watch and she could see it was two hours to her flight."... see y'all some other time" she says as she walks to the exit.Jade's darted his angry gaze at her back.

'The nerve on that bïtch!' He thought.She made him lose money and she's still proud enough to walk out on him. He leaned back into his chair thinking,'I am definitely going to make her pay.' He smirked.

As expected,California was a big beautiful place. Emily could hardly contain her joy when she made it to big Cali. She was so overjoyed that she'd call her mother and began squealing on the phone that she had arrived safely.

Ben was with her in the car that came to pick them up at the airport and he was pleased to see the expressions on her face.

"I can't believe i am in California!"Emily squealed,throwing her hands happily in the air."You look happy as though you have just accomplished a goal." Ben said.

"Mmhmm... I just did. It has always been on my wishlist to visit California. I would have traveled last month but I had so many things to deal with."Ben folded his arm across his chest."Oh? What's that??"Emily took a glimpse of him and it was at that moment that she got to realize that Ben was actually very attractive.

His looks were charming and he looked like someone who has a lot of money.Platinum dyed hair that was slicked back and it had a parting at the side. Rare amethyst colored eyes that were piercing enough to show off his real intentions.

Long,narrow nose going down to a slightly full lower lip and a well lined upper lip. He had a lean muscular build and his pale translucent skin was an envy.Well... he did pay for her flight ticket and they flew in the first class. Not only that,he was too sweet to her that she felt compelled to ask him out on a date with her but no,she knew she is with him for business and her coming to California was to make more money.

"Jade would definitely freak out if he finds out that I have left El Paso." She said while fiddling with her hair."Pfft. He can't do anything about it. He is just an ordinary wimp compared to who you are about working for."

"Oh..."Emily tilts her head to the side to look at him,"... who is this person that I will be working for?""She's cool,amazing and filthy rich. Emily could hardly believe her ears when Ben said she."She?!!" She asked to be sure she heard correctly.

"Yes,Madam May. Don't worry,she will protect you from any harm and,she's gonna make sure nothing happens to you. She had eyes on you when she saw a video of you pole dancing. She doing this much to bring you here means only one thing,she got good plans for you." He smirked at her.

Emily blushed on seeing his smirk. She quickly looks away from him."That's... nice." She said."Yeah... very nice." Ben said.

*****The car pulled up in front of a skyscraper. Emily and Ben moves out of the eye Emilys admired the building and she wasn't sure this was a night club because it looked like an apartment building.Ben and the bodyguard that was in the car with them approached her."Let's head inside,wanna show you to your new home." Ben said.Emily was taken aback by what he just said."New home?!" She asked.Ben smiled sweetly at her."Yes,Your new home. You also have a roommate. She will be guiding you through out your stay till you can confidently move around Cali." She glanced at the building. She thought that something was familiar about this place. She'd swore that it reminded her of a forgotten past. A past she locked away as she grew older.She waved the thoughts aside as Ben held her hand."Lets get inside,shall we?"She nodded and then they moved in. They got into the elevator,going up to the last floor. When they arrived,she was ushered out by the bodyguard.They walked slowly down the elaborate passage till they got to a door. Ben hits the doorbell with a finger. seconds later,a lady opens the door. "Hi Ben!..." She was all smiles when she saw him. She glances at Emily"... Hi.""Hi." Emily greeted.The lady gave her a sheepish smile. "I'm Ariel Sanders,and I'm guessing you must be my new roomie."Emily glanced at Ben who was checking the watch on his wrist. She returns her gaze to Ariel."Of course." Emily replies."Okay. So I will be leaving the both of you together. Gotta head back to Madam May's mansion. I have a meeting to attend..." Ben held Emilys hand. He lifts it up to meet his lips,he then kisses it."... you will be alright. Ariel will take special care of you. Consider her as a friend and be nice to her." Emily nodded and then,Ben leaves******.
