The Unwanted

Devastation

Maxine's POV

"Oh, get dressed in your black panther suit." Madam Hermei muttered as I arrived at the club.

As I used to do, I just danced in front of the pole. Trying my best to give such a performance they were expecting. I swayed my body seductively, and satisfaction was all over their faces. Which I despise to see the most.

After I danced, I went straight to the dressing room when Madam Hermei stopped me.

"Why?” I asked her.

"Go to VIP room # 5 first." she said.

"Alright,…. "

" Sir Theo doesn't want to be kept waiting for a long time." He said that's why I took their wine to serve them.

When I entered the VIP room it was still the same, there were four of them with a girl next to them. While the other one still raised his eyebrows while looking at his wine.

"Oh, you were the one dancing on the stage earlier. You're here, you're supposed to be next to Theo." The one with the long sleeve said to me.

I was about to refuse when they glared at me while pointing at the man next to whom they called Theo. I had no choice but to follow them.

Even though I hated it, I still sat next to him. But this man ignored me. His gaze was fixed on the wine he was holding.

"Hey Panther girl, drink." I looked at the person who spoke, he was in the opposite direction of us. He was green-haired and was smiling pervertedly.

"Come on." He forcefully handed me the wine so I had no choice but to drink it. Especially this man next to me who was now staring at me. I gulped.

“Come on Jade, drink it." Odette told me, she was one of the waitresses who took another sideline which was spending her night with different people.

I took another glass again and swallowed it. I don't have a high alcohol tolerance so it was expected of me to get drunk easily.

I also felt someone lift me. And because I know I'm already drunk, I don't know who picked me up. Little by little, my vision darkened. But before I lost consciousness, I heard someone speak.

"Now you can have your hotbed rest, Theo.”

Everything had become blurry as I tried to open my eyes. I don't want to sleep, but I had no control over it. I woke up when I felt something caressing my thigh.

"Oh!” I grunted as I was hurt by the sudden tingling in my thigh.

"It hurts."

"Shh, I will pay you later." I was shocked when I heard a male voice. Only then did I feel someone run over me.

"W-who are you? B-let me go." I tried to fight but it was too heavy and I was too dizzy.

“You will like this." He said it in a husky voice while kissing my neck.

"P-like---" I stopped speaking when he suddenly kissed me on the lips.

I tried to struggle but it was like struggling with hulk because it didn't even move.

"Ugh!!! s**t!!!!

There was a sudden moan from my mouth when his lips were kissing my breast. I can't see clearly on this man's face but I know he's smiling upon hearing me moan.

He just continued what he was doing while I stopped my own pleasure in what he was doing.

I was embarrassed when he touched my pubic area. No!

I still have many dreams. Please!

I was afraid, terrified to be exact. I feel hopeless in front of him.

"Please..." I begged him to stop what he was doing with my body.

"Sure." He grinned and his mouth moved on my womanhood.

No!

"P-please, don't. I-I still have a mother to b-support. I-I'm still studying. Please." Now there are tears in my eyes.

I let out sobs and I no longer fought with him as I let him do what he wanted to do with me.

And in seconds, I felt him stop what he is doing.

I feel so small.

He sat on the bed and never uttered a single word.

I had a chance to get up and sit down. I don't care if he sees me naked because I'm just going to sit here with my back against the headboard of the bed and my face buried in my knees. I couldn't help but get the uncomfortable feeling that the person who was in the room with me was staring at me, but I didn't bother to glance back at him. This is too much to bear and I cannot control my tears as they were racing down my face and all I could is cry my heart out.

"Mom!" I called my mother when I saw her upright in her bed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked me when I entered.

"The doctor said we can go out now. I brought some food." I said with a smile to my mother and slightly raised the food I bought from the famous fast food chain. I force myself to be alright when deep down I was hopeless, I just don't want her to see me in my worst situation. Memories from last night keep haunting me, I woke up naked in the bed and alone. As hopeless and hurt I was, I chose to pull myself together and visited my mother.

"Get out of here." she spat her words at me. I was unable to move in my spot. She turned her gaze to the window, her eyes were blank. And it hurt so much, I had no one to embrace when I was at my lowest point, Not even my own mother.

I just smiled and came closer in her direction. No matter what, she still needs to be taken care of.

"Mom, eat now." I gently muttered and raised the spoon to her mouth. My hands were trembling but I had managed to control them.

"I do not want to." She blankly said, eyes devoid of emotions.

“Mom, when.. "

"I don't want to!" She shouted and shoved my hands away, I just had to endure this. It would be alright.

Then, I smile. I forced myself.

"Mom, I'll just leave this food for you here---"

"Take that." She cut me off again.

"I never wanted you." My mother muttered in disgust as I walked towards the door.

Then tears fell from my eyes. I didn't want to live either. I didn't like this life either. But I'm fighting...for you. I'm doing all this for you, so you can accept me too.

Since childhood, my mother has always told me that she doesn't like me, that she never wanted me. I lived my life taking care of my mother and never once experienced being cared for by her.

I used to get spanked countlessly because I was studying instead of working. She didn't want me to have a better future. That's why I joined that club because she forced me to. She wanted me to remember the pain my father left me with my mother. I even used makeup to cover the bruises, every time she hurts me. I do and endure everything because I believe that one day she will accept me too.

I have no doubt that my mother loves me even now. The fact that her love for me was clouded by resentment simply due to the fact that we had both been abandoned by my father was just too terrible for her to bear. But I dont understand her greatest animosity toward me.

“ Max? Are you alright?” Xyna went to me after she had noticed my presence. I was late. I had never been late before. What happened last night was giving me the fear of coming back again, I don't want to work in this place anymore. So I had decided to tell Madam Hemei about my decision, I'm sure she will understand.

“ Yeah, I just need to talk to madam. I'll see you later,” I didn't look at her as I passed before her. I was too embarrassed about what happened to me last night, although no one knows it except me and that monster.

“ Did something happen, Max? What's with the sudden change of mind? How would you be able to pay for your mother’s bill if you will stop?” Madame Hemei confusingly asked me. I was lost for words to answer her. I didn't know where to start or how to tell her about the stranger who paid the bill. Mostly, I couldn't tell her what happened to me last night.

“ I'm sorry, Madam. I...I wanted to focus on my study.” And as much as I want to tell her what happened to me the night before, no one would ever believe me because of the nature of the job that I am in. Hence, this is a better alibi.

“ If that's what you want then, go ahead. I couldn't force you.” She responded.

She is aware that working in this field has never made me feel at ease, but she also understands that I had no choice but to accept the position because of the health condition of my mother.
