"Is this what I said I wanted?!

"The woman's raging voice took me off guard and I was trying to explain myself. Susan was in the bathroom taking a break and I didn't mind helping her deliver an order but it seems I had mixed it up.

"I-I…"I was so confused, I was just a cleaner, sure I was used to getting shouted at but this woman was impossible, "but this is your order ma'am."I was very positive I didn't mix up the tables and give it to the wrong person.

"This isn't the drink I ordered and this Champagne is too cheap for me!"She hissed and I was getting irritated, "Drink it yourself!''She poured the drink on me and time froze.

Everyone was in shock and she didn't seem to bat an eyelid at me. My blood was boiling but I couldn't do anything.

"What is going on here?!''I could hear my boss stumble in at the wrong time like an angry elephant, "Miss Susan! You're here tonight?!"He was shocked to see one of the prestigious guests of the famous Executive Club.

"And it seems you don't want me to ever be here again causes you sent this disgusting witch to serve me a cheap Champagne!"It was the wild claims and then my boss turned to glare at me daggers but my eyes gave me away. I didn't do anything.

"No, do not take it like that, she made a mistake and she will apologize, Nesla?"His glare got worse and I felt like dying there and then.

"I'm sorry.

"It was barely audible and she snorted at me.

"Another one will be brought for you, in the house.

"He managed a smile before dragging me away from the scenery, "are you for real?!"

"Do you really believe what she just said about me, boss?!"I was shocked to my bone, I guess rich people had the same way of thinking.

"I don't care what she says but she is worth millions, so don't mess anything up or you'll be out of here. Got it?!

"I didn't get the chance to speak any further before he left me.

I was covered in red liquid and my body smelled of alcohol, it was so humiliating and no one deserves anything like this, rich or poor.

But the rich always treated us, poor people, like servants. They could use our blood and still not care about what happens to us.

I sniffed back my tears and grabbed my cleaning equipment, going back to the spot where the embarrassment happened and began cleaning the mess. I could still hear them whispering and snickering at me.

I locked my eyes to the floor and a tear fell from my eyes as I heard someone call me a loser. A word I was very familiar with, especially in high school. Just because I had no parents, everyone hated me and bullied me.

I was even assaulted and they all thought I was lying because it was a rich school and I got into it via scholarship.

More tears fell to the floor and no matter how many times I wiped, more tears kept falling. I was shattering slowly as my trauma came back to me.

I quickly got to my feet and as I turned, I hit someone who was just behind me. Shit, not another rich person!

"I'm so sorry, are you okay?"I checked his jacket as he stood still like a rock, his eyes were a bit red and he didn't seem stable but he held out a hand telling me to stop.

"You're trying to mess up my date like you did to Miss Susan?

"I knew that voice from anywhere, Caroline. I rolled my eyes as I made sure he was okay, "Just watch where you're going next time, if you weren't so clumsy, you wouldn't be looking like a drunk, dumped into the pit.

"She snickered at me and I took a deep breath just to make sure I didn't throw her into a pit too. Dead.

But the man kept staring at me, jet black hair and piercing hazel blue eyes, I was melting, my knees were knocking and I could feel a bit of heat gather in between my legs. His energy was magnetic and it was pulling me in fast. And I don't know what happened and I started feeling dizzy and the last thing I heard him say was,

"Let's go. And I was on the floor. "when I woke up it was already late in the evening and I stared at my surroundings just to find out I was in a room but it wasn't my room I turned to check my surroundings very well then I saw another person on the bed and when I look closer it was the man I bump into some few hours ago and I was not with my clothes

"Oh no, I can't believe I slept with a stranger, But that was the last thing I wanted to do, sleep around for money.

Feeling guilty and used to going straight to the bathroom to clean myself, I turned on the faucet first and grabbed some soap. My reflection caught my eyes and I had a good look at myself.

I looked horrible. My hair looked like an old abandoned wig that hadn't been brushed in a year, my neck had several love bits and I was starting to break out.

"Tiara…"I had no idea when I broke down, this was not the life I wanted and I'm very sure my parents didn't want me either. Maybe if they didn't have me up for adoption when I was a baby, it would have been different. It would have been so different.

I sank to my knees in the corner of the bathroom and cried my eyes out, I would do anything to change my predicament. I couldn't keep living this way, having everyone walk over me, was I cursed or something?

I spent at least 30 minutes crying and when I was done, I was numb. I washed my face and cleaned myself up before going back to my duty. As the cleaner.

It was time to check the rooms and I made sure each one was clean and ready for the next use. I walked lifelessly, even though I was still feeling the pain in my body, especially my legs. doors passing my view till

I saw Caroline and another rich man coming out of a room. When they were close to me she stopped and looked at me and said in a low voice that only I could hear her. "I hope you enjoyed yourself and they passed me by as Caroline clung to him, disheveled but smiling stupidly. And that was when I came to my senses that she was responsible for me sleeping with that stranger.

What can I do? The deed has already been done. It may be my only ticket to my freedom long and hard, fighting my conscience. I had heard so many stories of rich men getting poor girls pregnant and having to take care of them.

I never wanted to do such a thing but maybe this was my only chance. I could be a billionaire in just 9 months! And it is possible because he didn't use any protection which means I am caring for his Seed in my womb. I guess I need to clean her room next. I stood at the door and exhaled before I opened it. The room still looked neat, the bed looked like an explosion just happened.

That's why she was smiling like that. I took the sheets off first and put in new ones. As I arranged a few things, I saw a snake in the corner of my eye.

"Snake!"I yelped, practically jumping on the bed but it didn't move. When I looked closer it wasn't a snake but some kind of latex and an indication that I needed sleep.

I moved closer and grabbed it, a used condom. I held my barf back, I can't believe I just picked that with my bare hands. I dumped it and pushed my cleaning equipment out of the room.

Tiara's Pov

"My legs wobbled a little as I pushed my cleaning equipment.

He was the first one to make me feel a deep sense of attraction, which was strange, and the only person I have ever slept with.

I hardly got attracted to Mike nor had sex with him, but I had sex today with a stranger.

And he felt different, he didn't insult or bark at me like the other rich people did and I won't lie the sex felt good no wonder Caroline always stuck to him like gum.

I moved to the next room and knocked on the door, I could hear laughing and ululations. The room was occupied and I was leaving when someone pulled the door open.

He scanned me before a dirty smirk appeared on his lips, "hey beautiful."I blinked in disgust but kept my face neutral.

"I'm sorry, I will go and clean another room," I told him politely and I pushed my equipment, I could feel his eyes pierce me from behind and then I heard the door slam.

My heart relaxed and I went to clean the other rooms.

Time had passed and I was just coming out of the bathroom, I had washed my hands. I fixed my hair a little, I still had an hour before my shift ended and I would be back home.

I went ahead to clean the tables and help the waitress take the drinks away and as I wiped, I felt a hand brush against my thighs.

"Hey, beautiful."

I jumped like a cat avoiding water, my heart racing so fast it seemed I would have had a heart attack.

"Did I scare you?"He inched closer to me, his mouth reeking of alcohol but his body emitted the scent of expensive perfume. I took a step back and I realized it was the man that I accidentally disturbed while he was in his room.

"Yes you did, I'm cleaning the tables, please do not get me in trouble."I kept my eyes down and went back to work, he was still staring at me and then he reached his hand into my skirt to caress me, "Are you mad?!"I snapped instantly and he was amused.

"She's feisty."He literally purred and my nose twitched in visible disgust, "how much for a night?"He flashed his card.

"Keep dreaming, even if I'm begging on the streets I'll never sleep with a disgusting creature like you!"I spat with all the disdain in my heart, the memories of my trauma coming to the surface.

"I'll buy you whatever you want, just for tonight.

"He was about to grab me again before my fingers ran across his cheek, the force of the hit sending him to the floor. It was so powerful it froze everyone and almost everything.

That was my best slap yet. It beat the one I gave Mike when I first met him.

But with a slap like that, it attracted the attention of the strippers.

"Are you crazy?!"Caroline was the first one to react, she lifted the man, and he was still dazed and I was still palpitating, "What the hell is your problem? He's just trying to make your miserable life better and don't make it like you're ignorant!"

"That was very uncalled for Tiara."Jane, the calmer one, is sort of like a mother figure to the rest of the girls. But she was supporting this man.

Tears welled up in my eyes and soon my boss came, he saw the slightly unconscious man that the girls were supporting and he saw me who was a mess. He knew in an instant.

"Tiara, my office, now."That was all he had to say and I could already feel myself crying.

I waited in his office for what felt like an eternity, my eyes fixated on an oil painting of a landscape and I wished I could enter the picture to escape the nagging I was about to receive. I wasn't wrong but I was under a contract to make sure the customers are always happy.

And anything was accepted.

The door creaked open and he walked past me, the aura he possessed made me nervous. My eyes were on the floor and my hands were behind my back. I could sense that he sat behind his big desk from the sound of his movements.

"Take."He held out something and when I shifted my gaze, it was a piece of paper and a pen, I moved closer, why? My finger stretched to collect it, "Write your resignation letter there."

"But Boss!"I literally screamed and he squeezed his eyes at the pitch of my voice.

"Tiara I'm tired! I'm tired of you! Two customers in one night?!"He indicated the number with his fingers. My heart was beating wildly as I looked at the paper, and soon I began to cry.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at me and I was sobbing for what felt like an eternity but was only three minutes.

"This is your last shot, your salary I split in half, I don't want a repeat."He warned me but my heart shattered more.

A deduction?!

By half?!

I wanted to speak up but I second-guessed myself, he could tell me to leave if he got more upset so I carried my famished body and my broken soul and walked out of his office.

I sniffed and wiped the tears from my eyes. This job was the reason I kept getting sick but I couldn't leave it because it was so hard to get this one and it paid better than the other ones around.

"Look, here comes little Miss Righteous."I could hear the club girls snickering but my body kept wavering in an unsteady manner, like I would fall.

"Are you okay Tiara?"Jane's motherly touch was able to keep me standing but I didn't want her to be close to me. She was kind but she didn't reprimand the others, so she was just like them.

I respectfully took her hands off my shoulders, it was closing time, and I was going home.

I packed my things, washed my face again, and exited the club. It was extremely late and I moved as fast as my legs could take me.

This was no way for us humans to live, targeted at work, targeted on the streets. Thunder ripped through the air and soon little droplets kissed my skin.

It was raining.

Everyone was rushing to find shelter while those who had umbrellas remained calm. I remained calm as I walked in the rain, it hid my tears and gave me time to reflect on things that have happened.

I didn't want this life anymore.

I stopped at an intersection, and instead of a left turn, I took a right. I went to a nearby bakery and bought some chocolate bread, it was Mike's favorite.

I wanted to surprise him, so I was heading to his apartment.

I was five minutes away as I held my bag close to my chest. I wasn't able to make myself happy today but I can make someone else happy and I can also apologize to him for cheating on him with a stranger. Soon I was at his door and just as I was about to knock I heard something break.

"Mike?!"I thought he was in trouble but I calmed down to listen, I heard moans and grunts, the moans turned into screams really quickly and some woman was telling some man to keep ******* her, "Mike…"

I didn't want to believe it, he could have been watching porn at 100% volume so I grabbed the spare keys under the mat, and gently, slowly opened the door, so barely a sound would be heard.

I opened it with vigor and Mike was not watching a sex movie, he was making one, with a random chick I had never seen before. But he didn't stop until he came inside her, that was when he realized I was standing at the door.

"Jesus! Tiara!!"He looked around, his sin had finally caught up to him. I sniffed back hot tears and looked at the lady bent over for him. She was embarrassed too but I was numb, "Tiara please!"He moved closer to me and I took a huge step back.

"Babe I'm so sorry, you know what's going on between us, I just needed to. I'm so sorry Tiara, it won't ever happen again.

"The only thing between us now was the cute center table I got him for his last birthday. An expensive gift and I worked hours to get that money.

I reached for my bag and brought out the chocolate cake, and I dropped it there. I also removed the promise necklace I wore for him and dropped it beside the bread. I was bleeding tears at that point again.

"Tiara…" he didn't move from his spot, I knew he didn't want me.

"Goodbye, Mike."

And I slammed the door behind me.

Tiara's Pov

It's been weeks and I've been different. I didn't speak to anyone about what had just happened, I kept it bottled up inside of me and it was eating away my heart slowly.

I was so numb and no one cared

I didn't care either.

I just finished scrubbing the toilets and now I was cleaning the mirrors. I looked at myself, the bags under my eyes were worse, and I hadn't gotten proper sleep since that incident.

A lady walked in and she took a good look at me before entering one of the stalls. I'm sure she must've seen how miserable I looked.

I was done with the mirrors, I worked hard and that gave me a sense of accomplishment.

I had also started a small online business, still learning, but I was moving too and I was hoping in a few months, I wouldn't be here.

But it was my plan B.

I exited the bathroom and went straight to the tables, I was cleaning it one by one till I heard some giggles. I tried to ignore it but it kept getting louder and louder.

Curiosity got the best of me and I went into the private room.

"Daddy, so what are you giving us tonight?

Caroline was annoying but this was just plain irritating. She was spread across him as his hand was deep into her crotch. I could have puked there and then.

Not just her but also the other girls and when I took a closer look it was the guy I slept with. I don't know but I felt like my heart had been shattered into pieces and this pain was more than the one I felt when Mike cheated on me.

They clamped around him like a magnet to a metal but Jane was more composed as she sipped on the red wine in front of her.

"We can give you a show, just drop the order

one of them sang and he couldn't help but laugh.

He sounded different when he laughed. He sounded like a good person even though he looked evil.

"Why don't you tell the girl watching us to come in and have a seat."

**** I was busted and why is he talking as if he doesn't know me ever since that day he has never come close to me or does he think am just like the other girls?.

I quickly withdrew and ran as fast as I could away from the entrance.

How the **** did he see me and how come he can't remember what happened between us?

This was not for me, I will never do something like that again. My heart calmed down. After a few minutes, a few of the girls came and surrounded me but I pretended like they weren't there as I cleaned the last table.

"Is there a problem with you Tiara?"Caroline was sick of me and I was sick of her, "what the **** are you doing?"She snatched my napkin away from me and threw it on the floor,

"why were you spying?"

I didn't appreciate her actions and I picked the napkin from the floor.

"I wasn't spying, I was checking if the space was occupied, I'm a cleaner and I'm trying to close early."

"That's a very big lie, he said he saw you standing there, if you need some money you should just ask, and don't forget you have slept with him so why pretend!"

I was getting irritated by these prostitutes.

"I apologize, I need to clean that space so I can close, are you guys done with it? Whatever y'all were doing there."I didn't want to start a fight.

"Stop pretending when you are not different from us! Stop being so useless and get yourself a better life." Caroline pushed me and it was like I had a brain reset.

I hate when I am pushed. It was one of the many triggers to my other personality.

I didn't want to start a fight but after she pushed me, I grabbed her hair and threw her across the table. The other girls were shocked and I was very sure she had broken something.

"What is going on?! Tiara"I rolled my eyes to the side, I swear it felt like my boss was following me around like a haunted spirit.

"She's trying to hurt me!"Everyone gathered to help Caroline up, and as I suspected, she had broken her ankle.

"She pushed me!"I didn't want to be quiet anymore but my boss wasn't having it.

"Just…leave before you regret it!"He was boiling with rage and I was forced to exit the scenario. I hid myself in the bathroom and I almost destroyed it.

I was so angry, everything that had happened, my salary cut, me sleeping with a stranger, Mike, and now this, I wanted everything to burn.

**** it all!

I had to calm down, I sank to my knees and pulled out my phone, my eyes glossed over all the designs I had made, I felt good about myself for some time.

"I won't be like this for long…"I consoled myself, I couldn't cry, there were no tears left, I spent the last of it on Mike and that rich stranger who can't put his Libido in check.

It felt like I was in there for days but it was about a few hours, or should I say less than an hour.

I picked myself up and went back to cleaning, everyone gave me a bad eye except for Jane. She was nonjudgmental and I appreciated her for that.

I was cleaning the floors, the music blaring deep into my skull, making me dizzy, and nauseous.

My cheeks puffed to restrict the vomit about to escape, "the music is too loud…"I thought to myself but after a step, I was falling.

"Tiara…you're sick again…"I could hear her voice and I was being dragged, soon the scenario changed and I was in the bathroom stall, puking my guts out.

I came out eventually and her blue eyes pierced through my soul but I was bitter, "what do you want?"

"Are you sick again?"Jane asked me with tenderness but I didn't want to believe any of that.

"It doesn't matter, no one cares."I pushed myself to the sink, I was washing my face and through the mirror, she was still staring at me, with concern, "You should go back to your friends."

"They're not my friends."

"What do you want from me?"I was tired and dizzy and hurt.

"Something better for you."

"Thanks, I can handle myself."

Finally, it was the weekend, and throughout the week, I had morning spells and I knew it was time to see a doctor.

I waited at the office and I was expecting some good news, something that won't send my life into oblivion.

The tapping of my feet indicated I was far from calm. Eventually, the doctor came in.

"Is everything alright?"I almost jumped on him, my eyes were filled with so much hope and he dropped the file in front of me to read.

"Miss Tiara,

you're pregnant."
