The Contracted Stripper

“Oh my God”, Iris screamed.

“It’s me, please don’t kill me”, she lay on the floor trembling, curved like a newborn baby crying.

Iris? Ryan called.

“What are you doing here”?

“Are you trying to steal from me”?

“Get up now”, Ryan said.

“Please don’t kill me, I was bored and only ca….. I said get up”, Ryan shouted.

With that Iris jumped up, with her head bowed, hot tears rolled down her eyes as she kept shaking.

“Follow me”, Ryan said.

Iris followed him quietly into his room, “get on your knees” Ryan ordered.

Iris quickly knelt, “please don’t kill me forgive me”.

Ryan still holding the gun pointed at Iris, and said.

“So you wanted to steal from me right”?

“No no, I would never do such, I… I just wanted to look around the house because I was bo…. bored that’s all, I promise it will never happen again..”

Iris was scared to death seeing Ryan holding a gun, he almost shot her inside the inner room.

What would have happened to her mother, her career she thought.

Her curiosity led her to Ryan’s inner room, she had only come to check if he was in his room, when she saw the inner room door open.

She was surprised to know he had an inner room. She had been to his room before but didn’t notice the door, and that was because the door was a beautiful artwork with no handle or keyhole, no one would have thought that was a door.

So she was surprised to see the door open. When she went into the room, she was speechless….

The room was a treasure trove of memories. Past pictures adorned the walls, capturing moments frozen in time and glimpses into the life of the enigmatic billionaire. Iris marveled at the visual narrative, each frame telling a story of a life lived behind closed doors.

A wine shelf stood as a testament to refined tastes and solitary contemplation. The room emanated an air of solitude, a retreat for Ryan when he sought quiet amid the chaos of his eternal life.

As Iris absorbed the details, her eyes fell upon a side she hadn’t expected: a table adorned with substances that spoke of a darker indulgence. The realization that this was where Ryan indulged in the hard drugs that temporarily whisked him away from his reality hit her with a mixture of shock and concern. Her exploration, however, was cut short when she heard a gunshot.

“Well if you don’t want me to shoot you, what will be your punishment”? Ryan asked.

“Anything.. anything, but please don’t shoot me” Iris begged.

“Anything you say? Ryan mischievously smiled and asked.

“Yes yes…” iris replied

“Alright then, you would birth me a child before we terminate the contract’, Ryan said with a cold face.

Iris’ eyes bulged out immediately.

“What!!!!!!!!”

“Give birth to a child for you”?

“Are you being serious right now? This was not part of the contract, I am not doing it”.

“Looks like you do have a choice here”, Ryan said

“Your death would be so smooth but where is the fun if I kill you alone?

“Let’s say I kill your mother first in your presence before killing you. That would be more fun, don’t you think”? Ryan chuckled, kissing his gun.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Leave my mother out of this, it’s me you want, so don’t you dare touch my mother”?

“I wouldn’t be blabbing if I were you, I am only trying to help you here”. He said.

“Do you know how many girls would jump on this offer”?

“After all your life is up to no good, you are only a stripper nothing more, Ryan said.

“I’m a stripper and so what”?

“You dare speak to me in that manner?” he growled.

“You ungrateful good for nothing, wretched stripper”

“You have no right to judge me, you were only privileged not like it was your right”.

“Don’t get too comfortable, you never can tell what is coming for you, watch your back, ” Iris fired.

“Did I just speak to the most ruthless and feared billionaire in town? Am in for trouble she thought.

Ryan’s mood grew cold and he held Iris’ wrist so tight, I give you 24 hours to make a decision, don’t keep me waiting.

Ryan moved closer to Iris as they shared breaths, he moved his head slightly to her ears, “watch your back too hunny” he whispered, and kissed her neck, sending a cold sensation to her body as her knees grew weak instantly.

“Get out of my room”, he barked.

Iris immediately put herself together and left his room, she got to her room and fell on the bed as she started crying.

Her ringing phone brought her back to reality as she saw the caller ID, Mom.

“She quickly wiped her tears and picked up,

“Hello sweetheart, how are you doing”.

“Am fine Mom, am sorry I haven’t called you, have been busy with my new job”.

“Iris, are you okay?

“You sound off, that is what I am trying to explain Mom. I have just been so choked up”.

“Hope you are fine,

“I am okay sweetheart, Skylar has been taking care of me, she’s here”.

“Ok Mom, give her the phone”.

“Hey Iris, how are you doing”?

“Am fine Sky,”

“Are you sure? yes sky, alright”.

“Iris, mom’s drugs are almost out, she needs replacement”.

“Ohh, ok sky I will send some money to you soon”.

“Please take care of her”.

“I will come to see her soon, bye”.

Hot tears streamed down Iris’s cheeks, as little boils of heat could be seen gathered on her forehead.

Iris was restless, her mother’s drugs were almost out which was not good.

Iris could remember the early hours of a rainy day, she had just gotten back from the club where she stayed, she got home, took a hot bath, and went to bed.

Surprised her mother hadn’t come to wake her up like she normally does, she went to her mother’s room to check on her, only to find her lying helpless on the floor.

“M…. mom, mom wake up

“Please, Mom, wake up

“Iris immediately ran into her room, picked up her phone, and called an ambulance.
