Secret of the Night Woman

"Welcome, Son!" An old man with glasses spread his arms to greet his son. Kendrick left home for 5 years. "You're growing up well and you're getting better looking. Come here, why are you such a stranger in your own home? Don't you miss your father?"

"Don't you make me a stranger in this family?" Kendrick had no intention of even getting close to her father, she still remembered his father's cruel treatment when he sent her first. 5 Years ago Ken had no power against his father until he was forced to leave and did not return for 5 years.

"Do you still have a grudge against your father? Come on, you're like you are now because of your father too. So don't hate me for too long. I'm getting old so don't think too much."

Martin hugged Kendrick and repeatedly patted her on the back. His proud son once let himself down so much that he could throw him out and threatened to hurt his mother if Kendrick did not obey his orders.

Kendrick did not return the arms of his father, his eyes looking for someone else he missed so much.

"Where's my mom?" Kendrick doesn't mind his father's babble. "I came home to see my mother."

Martin sighed, disappointed in Kendrick's indifferent and cold attitude towards him. "You are my son, go see your mother in the room."

Five years separated from his mother only because he was forbidden to go home by his father. Kendrick was still upset every time he remembered that.

"Dad hope you don't find that girl again, Ken." Martin's words stopped Kendrick's footsteps. "Don't deal with women of low caste."

Kendrick clenched his hands, that was the reason why all this time he moved carefully looking for the woman he had smeared first. Kendrick doesn't want her dad to screw things up.

"I'm an adult. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!" ken answered without seeing his father. The two men who had blood relations were like waving war flags together.

Somewhere else.

"What is this place, Bi? Why did we come here?" How many times did Elga ask the same question but not once did Jesica answer it. The woman seemed busy with her flat object.

Jesica takes Elga into a room. "Sit down!" He pointed to the chair right next to the table.

Elga sat down hesitating. Now, he and Jesica were sitting opposite each other.

"I have a new job for you. From tonight you are the woman of the night who must serve the men who want you!" Jesica immediately spoke to the point and then he picked up a piece of paper in the drawer.

Elga gasped to hear it, she knew what Jesica's words meant to make herself look at Jesica questioningly.

"Auntie's not serious, is it? Auntie knows I can't do that." Elga feels alien to Jesica's very different attitude than usual.

"I'm serious and you have to do it or you're gonna pay off all your debt." Jesica gave the paper to Elga.

"What debt does aunt mean?" Elga reads the contents listed there and finds the details of the production during her stay at Jesica's house. "Didn't auntie never bring it up or charge it from me, but why do I have to pay this much now?"

"Whatever it is you know nothing is free in this world and I want you tonight to pay it off or your daughter will be the bet!"

Elga's heart feels deprived of her body, all this time her daughter is the life and reason she remains alive and Elga will not let her daughter in anyone's pressure.

"Don't take my son, Auntie. I'll be in charge of paying off my debts, but give me some time until I can raise a lot of money." Elga spoke with a trembling body.

Jesica. "But you still have to pay for it tonight."

"Auntie knows I don't have that kind of money!"

"Pay with your body, Elga. You can take it from tonight."

Elga gasped half-dead, she did not expect that Jesica would be this hard on her. It turns out he was in the wrong place all along. Only then did he realize for a long time that a trap had been prepared so perfectly to ensnare him.
