THE MAFIA HEIR'S HIDDEN WIFE

Chapter 4

AGATHA

"What is your name?" a woman asked formally when she picked me up inside Sir George's office.

"My name is Agatha," I replied shyly.

"Okay, Agatha. Listen to me carefully," said the woman with me who didn't even introduce herself and started teaching me what to do.

"Here is the menu. Study it well so that you won't get confused when there's an order," she said with a hint of annoyance.

I listened attentively and understood everything she said, until we finished and she told me to change clothes.

I quickly put on the uniform given by the woman who was teaching me and followed her through a narrow hallway. It turned out that the place I entered was not just an ordinary restaurant owned by Ate Crista's friend. I was really surprised to find out that it was actually a gambling den.

I saw many nearly nude women in the spacious room. Alcohol was flowing and there were different kinds of gambling that were new to me, and I knew that from now on, I would also become a part of it.

Many men here wasted a lot of money for their vices. "You animal, you cheated me!" shouted the man at the end of the table, pulling out a gun and pointing it at the person in front of him.

My body trembled, but I chose to remain silent and close my eyes so I wouldn't see the chaos in front of me.

"If you don't have money, get out!" yelled a big man, before he hit the unruly man on the head with his gun, causing him to collapse like a piece of paper on the floor.

The casino where I worked was terrifying, chaotic, and full of violence, but I couldn't do anything to leave and escape from it. My sibling paid a large sum of money to my boss, and that was the contents of the check they gave to Sir George when Ate Crista brought me here and sold me to him.

I never saw that despicable woman again. Until now, I haven't spoken to her because she never came back to visit me, not even once.

My sibling supposedly took millions from Sir George. That's more than twice my two-year salary, and I don't even know when I will finish paying it off. I want to leave this place and find Ate Crista, but there's no other way for me to escape except if I'm already dead.

This is supposedly the fate of women who tried to escape from Sir George's grasp. I'm just thankful that even though I've worked as a waitress for five months, they haven't done anything bad to me because I always obeyed every desire of my boss and never complained.

All I see every day are guns. Life in the casino is meaningless because if someone incurs a debt to Sir George's group, they are just like chickens being slaughtered by my boss's men, who are ready to kill at his command.

I feel extreme fear towards them. I do everything to avoid getting any attention from any of them. I have been groped several times, but I couldn't complain. I'm like a robot, obediently following their every command, and I have nothing else to do except to work, even when there are times that I feel unwell and get sick.

"Boss is calling you in his office, Agatha," Rayza, another waitress here at the casino, said with a frown.

I smiled politely at her and thanked her. With trembling steps, I went to Sir George's office because I didn't want him to be angry and take it out on me. I often receive harsh words from him because I move slowly, which I still find difficult to adjust to since I am naturally reserved, even in speaking.

As much as possible, I avoid going to our boss's office because I don't want to see him. I'm afraid of him after he attempted to violate me multiple times. Fortunately, he would suddenly receive a call or his wife would arrive, so I would be immediately dismissed.

I knocked on the door with trembling hands and a strong sense of nervousness, afraid of what Sir George might do to me. Perhaps when my luck runs out, he would succeed in doing something malicious to me.

"Come in!" Sir George's right-hand man said loudly to me, the man I always see following him.

It's a good thing that he's here, so I breathed a sigh of relief because I felt safe from the clutches of the senior man in front of me.

"Starting today, you will no longer work in the casino, Agatha," Sir George said, surprising me to hear that from him because I know my sister took a large sum of money in exchange for bringing me here.

"You will work in the bar. I will earn more from you there, especially since my clients will surely fight over and cause commotion because of you. You're beautiful, your face and body are fresh."

I felt like I went deaf from what I heard. I didn't expect that he would send me to the bar because I was doing fine working in the casino."Sir-" Sir George immediately raised his right hand, so I fell silent. My eyes were fixed on the gun resting on his table, playing with it.

"Go! I don't want to hear anything from your mouth, Agatha. Maybe you've forgotten that I paid millions for your sister, in exchange for you. Even if you work as a waitress in the casino for the rest of your life, you won't be able to pay me back unless I sell you for a bigger amount, so I can benefit from you as well!"

I was stunned and couldn't speak. Sir George's eyes were sharp and terrifying, with a dark expression on his face. I couldn't do anything but lower my head and agree to what he wanted out of fear that he might hurt me or imprison me, like what he did to his other employees who tried to defy him and escape his grasp.

"Remove that woman in front of me right now, Baldemore, or I might kill her. I would lose the millions I could earn!" Sir George commanded loudly, so his staff quickly dragged me out.

Although it was difficult to walk fast in the high heels I was wearing, I tried to match Baldemore's steps because being dragged was even more painful. He took big steps while holding my arm tightly, not caring how much I struggled.

"Well then, you take care of this woman now. You know what to do!" Baldemore said to Mama Sang, who was with me at the hostel.

Now I felt extreme fear and trembling in my body. I recognized the woman in front of me, whom I encountered in a room filled with thin and few clothes hanging in the corner, with large mirrors surrounded by small lights.

"Alright, leave us," Gayuna said seriously, without a smile, scanning me with her eyes.

"Take off your clothes," she commanded me, and my whole body trembled.

"But-"

I didn't finish what was supposed to be my explanation when she gave me a menacing look.

"I don't want any attitude. You're not a nun, and I don't care if you're still a virgin. I have a lot of work to do, so do what I want right away if you don't want to experience my punishment!" Gayuna shouted and threatened me, causing me to panic.

Although my hands and legs were trembling, I quickly undressed the uniform I was wearing at the casino. "Everything, including my bra and panties!" Gayuna shouted again.

I felt my whole body go cold. This was the first time I undressed in front of other people, and if I didn't do it, Gayuna would surely punish me like she did to Michelle.

She was one of the most feared women in the hostel. She was relentless when it came to punishing, especially since she was partnered with Sir George in running this illegal business.

She was half Japanese and half Filipino. As far as I knew and heard from my fellow women at the hostel, Gayuna was allegedly a member of the Yakuza. She had no mercy, acting as if she wasn't a woman, selling the women she controlled to wealthy guests who visited the house.

They were too greedy for money. They were involved in every kind of evil deed. Here they were, running a club as well inside this building, which I only discovered now because I thought the house itself was the entertainment spot for their animal-like patrons.

I didn't know how many illegal businesses Sir George was running, but now I realized that this huge building was full of different businesses from gambling, drugs, human trafficking, and prostitution, which seemed to be my next destination.
