Chapter 41 Their Last Day In The Nightclub 1
MADISON POV
The big day arrived, and I was distressed, nervous, and anxious; a thousand things were going through my head while the hours on the clock seemed to tick by slowly.
I didn't know exactly what to expect from this night; the only certainty I had was that I would be free from this nightmare.
I have endured horrible things here, which I don't even like to remember.
When I was sold by my father and arrived at this place, I was completely disoriented, I didn't know what I was doing, and when I found out I would have to sell my body, I went crazy.
Ma'am Rose gave me a real hard time.
I didn't give in easily, I suffered a lot because of it.
I went days without eating, and I was beaten by her henchmen because I refused to prostitute myself.
I didn't care about the threats she made, the slaps I received, the pain I had to endure.
I just didn't want to lose my dignity, but all of that was in vain.
I realized that if I wanted to stay strong and get out of this mess, I would have to lower my head and do everything she ordered, and that's what I did.
But in the end, everything has its good and bad sides, and the good side in my case was Dimitri.
He made all this suffering bearable; in fact, he was the reason for my happiness and also my sadness.
There were so many comings and goings, and I wonder what destiny holds for both of us?
"So, are you nervous?
Because I'm a nervous wreck," Laura said.
So it's only the two of us, but we need to stay calm, nobody can suspect anything, Laura, we have to act naturally.
I know, I know, but it's incredibly difficult.
What if something goes wrong?
"Nothing bad is going to happen, Laura, shut your mouth.
Cohen guaranteed me he'd get us out of this, and he's going to keep his word. I trust him."
"He's amazing," Laura said with a silly look on her face, which made me laugh.
Speaking of Cohen, I already know everything, you little minx.
Everything?
"He's the one you like, Laura. I saw you two last night and I'd already noticed the way you looked at him, but with so much on my mind, I hadn't put the pieces together yet."
Madi, I...
Don't even try to make excuses, the only thing I want to know is why you didn't tell me?
I was scared, I know it's stupid, but you two were together until recently, and he loves you.
I didn't want you to be mad at me, Madi.
You're kidding, right? I can't believe you thought of that, Laura.
You're the one who made me see my true feelings for him.
But you're my friend, and he, well, you know he likes you, he doesn't even look at me with desire.
Yesterday I even tried, but he didn't want me, and as I told you before, it's just a fantasy of mine, nothing more.
I roll my eyes at the thought of Laura; she's beautiful, and there's no way Cohen wouldn't want to be with her.
I really need to do something about this.
Laura deserves to be happy, and so does Cohen.
He doesn't deserve to suffer because of me; it's not fair after everything he's done.
Later, I couldn't sit still, Cohen hadn't contacted me, and I was already worried.
Cohen told me I didn't need to go to the club tonight, but I convinced her that the girls would be suspicious if I didn't go since I'm feeling better now, and she agreed.
At 6 pm, I started getting ready.
I took a shower to relax, but it didn't help at all.
I was nervous and didn't know what else to do to calm down.
I put on some music to try to release all the tension in my body and danced around the room while trying to put on my makeup.
I looked at the clock, and it was 9 pm.
It was time for us to go.
I could hear my heart racing with anticipation, I clearly visualized the room where I used to sleep; it was here that I smiled, where I cried, and where I met Laura.
But I won't miss it at all, I'm leaving behind all this terribly humiliating past to start a new life.
"Friend, you look beautiful," Laura said looking at me.
Thank you, you look amazing too—I said.
"I had to make an effort, tonight is going to be quite a night," she smiles.
Ma'am Rose accompanied us to the nightclub, and when we arrived we went straight to the stage.
Tonight we were all going to dance together; it almost felt like a farewell.
After the show, most of the girls went to the rooms with their clients.
Laura and I wandered around the club, trying to find any clue, maybe a hidden policeman, but we couldn't find anything.
My anxiety grew even more; even Dimitri wasn't there.
Something was wrong.
It was 2 AM, and I was forced to do two shows.
I didn't want to anymore, but it was necessary.
Ma'am Rose said that today would be the last time because of the trip, little did she know that it really was the last time.
"For God's sake, Madi, where are they?" Laura asks.
"I don't know, Cohen hasn't called today and I haven't seen anyone yet, not even Dimitri.
I'm almost losing hope," I admit to Laura
Mine left a long time ago; something must be wrong, it's not possible otherwise.......
When Laura finishes speaking, several uniformed men enter through the front door and announce:
This is the FBI, you are under arrest Rose Pattinson.
I didn't see exactly when it started, but someone else shot at the police officers, and from then on it was a barrage of gunfire everywhere.
Bingo, there is Cohen.
