Chapter 29: Sold to Save Him

XITO POV

“You will need to drop a deposit, that's the only way we can start the operation." The doctor said, concern gleaming in his eyes as he maintained eye contact with me.

“Please, I will find the money. Don't let him die, he's the only one I have now.” I cried, falling to my knees as I pleaded.

But the doctor didn't say anything as he looked back to my father.

My father has colorectal cancer and I need a million dollars to fund his surgery. But where would I get such a huge amount of money?

I have been taking part-time jobs, but all my efforts were futile as I couldn't even raise a thousand bucks.

“I don't have a say in this but I hope you would be lucky to save him before it kills him.” The doctor whispered, bowing as he walked out.

I would not be able to take it if anything happens to my father. He was the only thing I had and losing him would be loosing half part of my life.

“Please don't give you on me. I'm trying my best and I would do whatever it takes to bring you back.. I don't mind begging on the streets if it would bring her back.

Wiping the tears out of my face, I rose to my feet leaving for the strip club where I work before my dad would wake up. I couldn't even stand the look of pain on his face as it broke my heart.

“I'm sorry, ma'am, I lost track of time, and I won't repeat such mistakes.” I apologized, Madam Sia scoffed at me with her signature scowl settled comfortably on her face as she walked with her heels clicking away on the marble tiles.

I was late again as usual because I always had to see my dad before coming to work, which meant delay.

“Get out." Madam Sia said, and I nodded, happy that she hadn't terminated my employment.

“Xito darling. You look pathetic, I could help relieve all your stress only if you would agree to warm my bed." Nate said he's the owner of the club's younger brother.

I have been refusing his advances for months now and it only seemed to fuel his hate and desire to fuck me. I can't let that happen and leaving this job wasn't an option.

It helped me get more streams of income higher than my day shift jobs.

“ My answer remains a flat No, I won't be your girlfriend Nate! You are too old and I'm like a daughter to you." I said, standing my ground.

" You seem to be enjoying my torture. Get ready for more.” Nate muttered, cursing as he walked away.

I needed to find a job somewhere else; Nate would make good on his claims if I didn't.

“ Ma'am, the guests have arrived, but Lisa was just admitted to the hospital, and she won't be able to dance for them,” Nate said, a mixture of fear and joy.

“Oh no. Who else looks sexy enough to replace her?" My boss asked, and I began to withdraw, crashing into the bar cabinet on my bid to retreat.

“Xito," Nate said, looking at me with a glint of mischief on his face. He has been making life a living hell for me since I rejected his advances.

“ No, I'm not a private dancer. I didn't include that while signing up." I argued.

" You didn't read the contract right?" He asked, and I looked confused on what to say or do next.

He had fucking trapped me and I couldn't leave based on the last line i had just read now..

I was fucking doomed and tied to someone as horrible as him. No wonder I had been warned not to get a job from here. But I hadn't listen and this was what it had caused me.

“I won't be doing something like that and don't bother anymore. I would be taking my leave. You are a disgusting man! How dare you say something like that to me?” I yelled, and he smirked getting up to his feet.

“What do you want to do to me? You can't force me, I have my rights and I would scream until someone walk in and help me.” I threatened, and he started chuckling like I had made the silliest joke ever.

"You wish.”

" Oh you know that's not true. I would report to an higher authority. And you would be rightly punished if you try to do anything stupid." I trailed, and he stopped directly in my front.

His eyes resting on my bosom. I grew conscious immediately and he smirked when he realized I was nervous.

“You are a virgin? Perfect! Wow! Good thing I haven't touched you.

My customers would kill to have you. And that would make my pockets swell tonight.

Aren't you such a useful hot thing?"

This wasn't happening. I need to get back to my father to know how he was faring.

He had been in such a bad state thismirning and it was due to the fact that he haven't gotten a better treatment.

He was on the edge of losing it because I haven't been able to find the amount he needs to get back to me.

Nowhere to loan as I had borrowed from them and I haven't paid back.

I don't even have the money to.

“Fine, I would do whatever you want! But how much would you be paying me?” I.aksed, swallowing knowing that my father would kill himself of he finds out that I had given myself up to bring him back.

So I would never tell him and we would all be fine.

“You are finally reasoning like a matured woman. Your body would drive lots of men crazy. And since you look like you need money a lo

t, 30% of whatever is dropped per night.

Was it that obvious that I needed money?

Because I was sure that I haven't said anything to him.
