Chapter 16

Angel had lost track of how many days it had been since she was brought to the Black Widow Casino Hotel.

Ever since the incident at the showers, she became wise enough to not disobey any more rules or else be thrown in the dark cell with no food and water.

She entertained or bedded at least 15 clients every single night and it was revolting to her.

A couple of times, Kenna spread rumors that Angel was not good at having sex with clients and most of the time, Angel didn't have to bed with them. She was grateful for that, as it gave her some sort of relief.

However, it was one night that Angel happened to hear Mok's voice over the stereo in one of her clients' room.

"Do you like that?" her customer asked.

"Yeah, I actually met Mok one time," Angel replied, but her client didn't believe her. "Is it all right to let it play?" she asked and he nodded.

While she was being violated, she listened to Mok's singing from the stereo and it gave her comfort.

'One day, I hope he will rescue me,' her thoughts said.

When the client was done with her, Angel was allowed to go. She returned to the girls' wing and discovered Rosie, sleeping in her futon.

Helga was beside her, wiping Rosie's forehead with a damp towel. "Helga, what's wrong with Rosie?" Angel asked.

"She's caught a fever. I had some other girls take over her appointments because I think this won't disappear overnight," Helga answered and Angel came to Rosie's side.

Angel and Helga stayed by her side, but the fever didn't go down, and they called on Rhonda late that night.

"She needs a doctor, I don't think this will be a passing thing," Angel said to the woman, hoping that Rhonda would show mercy.

Rhonda summoned Andro to take Rosie outside of the wing and Angel dared herself to see what was going on.

Rhonda whispered something in Andro's ear and he placed Rosie down on the ground.

Just then, Andro twisted Rosie's neck and a sickening crack was heard and the poor girl fell over, dead.

"NOOOO! NOOOO!" Angel cried out as Andro and Rhonda took Rosie's body away.

Angel wanted to attack Rhonda, but Helga held her back, and Angel broke into rasping sobs.

Angel did not stop crying throughout the remainder of the night. She mourned over the loss of her friend who was hoping to be rescued one day.

Kenna, having enough of Angel's crying, came over to her and says, "Why don't you just shut up?! She was a whore like you and me!"

At that moment, Angel finally snapped. She jumped on Kenna, pushing her to the floor, and began to punch her. The memories of being abused by Omar and of her current situation fueled her anger.

Helga and some of the other girls pulled Angel away from Kenna, just as Rhonda came in. "What the hell happened here?" she demanded and then saw Kenna, her face was black, blue, and bloody.

Rhonda summoned Andro and points to Angel. "Take this one to the cell. No food and no water," she ordered and the muscular man took Angel.

"Just you wait! Justice will come for Rosie!" Angel cried out as she was dragged to the cell.

Andro pushed her into the dark room and locked the door. Angel began to pound and kick at the door, but she was exhausted and stopped.

More tears flowed down her cheeks and she quietly mourned the death of Rosie.

"I swear to you, someone will rescue us, and justice will come for you," Angel said to herself and cried herself to sleep.
