"Violet you are next. Come on, you are being called backstage. "

Oh no.

Bella holds my hand and starts leading the way. I follow her silently solely focusing on the heels.

Loud music reaches my ears along with cheers and hoots. My nerves kick in and I start thinking of excuses.

I can pretend to faint.

I can tell them I'm feeling nauseous.

Maybe knock the guards down using the heels and then r---

"Violet, stop zoning out. Go it's your turn. The announcement has been made." saying this Bella pushes me lightly towards the stage.

I stumble at first but soon gain my balance. I go to the center of the stage where the pole is and am immediately blinded by colorful lights. I look at the audience which consists of drunk horny men who are looking at me with lustful eyes.

From the corner of my eyes, I can see Xavier and Jaxson looking at me too, observing me silently.

I have to do this.

The first notes of the music start playing and quickly holds the pole with both my arms and turns my back towards the audience. I close my eyes and start replaying Bella's words.

Sway your hips. Slow and sensual.

I sway my hips along with the slow notes of music.

Look at the audience and maintain eye contact with the first person you see.

I remove my hands from the pole and with a jerk flip my hair to the side. I turn slowly towards the crowd eyeing the audience. And then I come in contact with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.

He is sitting alone on the table looking relaxed with a glass of whiskey in one hand and his other hand resting on the table. His well-ironed suit sticks to his muscles and black hair is set in a messy yet sexy way.

Make that person feel that you are only dancing for him.

I look straight in his eyes and start grinding on the pole. When the notes of the music start fading I wrap my legs around the pole and slowly bend backward with my hands in the air.

The clapping and hooting doubles and can feel a thin layer of sweat form on my skin. My heart is thumping loudly in my chest and I'm sure if it wasn't for the crowd cheering everybody could hear it.

I look at Xavier and Jaxson who are standing with a satisfied smirk on their faces. The man I had performed for stands from his seat and walks towards them while I make a beeline towards the backstage and leave the stage without any delay.

I go and sit in the changing room wearing a robe over the same purple dress I wore for my performance. I don't know why I came here, perhaps because I needed some alone time.

So much is going on right now that I don't think it could go any wors---

"Come on baby girl, Xavier is calling you. You got your first customer for the night waiting for you outside."Jaxson barges in and says with his usual annoying smirk.

And when thought life couldn't be any worse this happens.

I follow Jaxson quietly to what I think is Xavier's office. The red house is extremely big and it took us almost five minutes to come from the changing rooms to here.

I wonder how many girls are working here for Xavier.

We reach the office and Jaxson leaves me alone to face the devil without uttering anything.

Not that I'm complaining.

I reach for the door handle to open the door but it bursts open before I could open it.

I look at the person who opened it and come face to face with the man for whom I danced today. His dark eyes look at me for just a second before he walks past me.

I enter Xavier's office and clear my throat to gain Xavier's attention who is standing by the window looking at the sky. He looks at me for a second and then turns back to the window.

"Hello, Violet. You did an amazing performance today just like a professional pole dancer. You make me extremely happy. No wonder you have been asked for a night on your first day here. " Xavier says and then turns to me with his undivided attention.

"I never allow my girls to go and please before they spend one month here. We usually train them before sending them off. When the client first asked for you I declined straightway after all you are untrained and even a virgin even though he is really important." Xavier sighed.

Relief floods inside me hearing his words. He declined, saying that means I don't have to go. I am safe.

"But when he offered to pay thrice the amount I couldn't resist and I reluctantly agreed. "

Of course this money greedy bastard agreed. How can he say no to dollars?

"If you agreed why am I here? " I asked with gritted teeth.

"Well, there are some rules you need to know. Rules I won't tolerate if broken or else you very well know what will happen. Right, Violet?"

"Y-Yes. "

"Excellent.Now the rules. Any client that comes to the red house is pleased and should not be left without being content. The positions and place will be selected by him and you should accept it without any tantrums. You will stay the night at his place and he will return you here tomorrow morning. You will address him as 'Sir' or 'Master' and not at any condition by his name. And lastly don't forget to take the birth control pills. Nobody will be responsible for your illegitimate child if you come back to being pregnant."

While Xavier spoke tears started pooling in my eyes. The way he is treating me is like I'm his slave.

Maybe now I am.
