shadows of love

I'm ivy, 19 years old. I've been struggling alone after growing up in an ophernage. while I was preparing for a shift Hailey came to visit me, she had once lived in the orphanage too before being adopted. Hailey leaned closer. " My parents are losing their minds over this blind date," she whispered. She brought out a check. Just a few hours of pretending to be me, and I'll cover your rent for two months." I started at the money. It was more than I earned in a month of double shifts . I can't even afford a decent pairs of shoes, Hailey. That's the best part, I've already got your wardrobe handled. An hour later, I stood in the front of a mirror, barely recognising myself. A long red silk dress clung to my curves as Hailey dressed me up. For the first time in nineteen years, I felt like luxury. When I got to the restaurant, my heart was already beating fast. I kept adjusting my dress as I walked in, trying to act normal, even though I could notice people staring at me. My date was already there ,In a black suit waiting. He stood up when he saw me, looking at me a bit longer than necessary before he gestured for me to sit "You're early", he said. I didn't want to keep you waiting,I replied. He smiled a little and said my name is Micky known as Michael, I replied my name is ivy jones . There was a short silence before the waiter came and placed expensive appetizers on the table,things I had only seen In the television shows and picture We started talking. I answered carefully,not trying to say too much. But he kept asking questions which started to piss me off, the date passed in a blur of conversation.when it ended, he walked me out then, he said you don't talk like someone who is interested in me I gave a small smile and waved at him. As I walked back towards my apartment, something felt off. Like I wasn't alone. I heard footsteps behind me. I slowed down a bit,then stopped completely. I turned quickly, but there was no one there. Maybe I was imagining it..... or maybe someone was just walking the same way. I started walking again,faster this time, But I still felt it , someone was there . I didn't see them but I can feel it that someone was following me .so I ran faster to the side of a building and waited a little.i poked my head out to check if I would see someone, but before I could notice someone to react, I felt a heavy hit at the back of my head. I woke up the next day and found myself tied up in a cabin. "Help!" I screamed, my voice cracking. Please, someone help me! Three men stepped into the light, their faces cute and eyes cold. A man was seated his name is vitto. He eyed the red dress I wore, now torn and stained with dirt. Look at this rag he said. You're a businessman daughter, aren't you? What's your father name. I trembled. Please what do you want from me? The password to the phone, sweetheart, he replied. I unlocked it. Let's see who we can call for payout. With shaking fingers, I unlocked the phone. Then he went to contact, but he looked at me immediately. There was only one name listed: st. Jude's home for children. The man paused. Wow so you take care of orphans? I replied, No I'm an orphan. He frowned then let out a harsh laugh. He tossed the phone onto the floor, the screen cracking
