Agony felt like lightning hit her hard and Abi felt all the blood of her body frozen. He did not move, yet she could feel injuries forming on her body.
Her mother was too sick to survive if she could not find the herbs and if she lost this job… forget about the herbs, she would not have food on their table.
Their drunkard father would demand her share too. He had already told her, "who will save you when that wretched woman dies? Either you are going to earn well for me or I will find a way to get more money from you." she had heard that he was visiting the brothel these days. And it was not the woman he sought there but the pimp who bought new girls.
The thought that left her scared since then. She must save her mother. Or run away from there.. Of course, she could run away anytime. She had already packed her things long ago. But whenever she thought of her mother dying alone, her body gave up.
She was sure her father would not even take the trouble to bury the old woman. She had cursed every moment her mother had married that scum. But who was not scum?
All the men around her were the same. Even this man, who was staring at her with a smug look as if he knew he had won was the same.
"You will marry me, after taking me?" she asked like a fool. She would never marry a man who whipped his staff and forced them to their death.
But he could save her from her father. And they could save her mother with his money too. Giving her virginity did not sound so bad now. But the man blinked.
He looked at her as if she had lost her mind and laughed. The laughter made her look like a fool and she felt the rage burning her chest.
He gave her body a long look as he rubbed his cheeks.
"There is no doubt that you would be a good breeding little slave." he nodded with appreciation as his eyes fell on her voluptuous breasts. Despite her being pale and thin, looking almost malnourished, she had big boobs and he could suck them all her life.
"But I have seen better girls than you. If i marry everyone is fuck in this room, i would have half of the girls of the factory as my wife." the thought hit her hard like another blow. She felt bleeding. And her rage took over.
She picked up the nearest tool and threw it in his face to insult her. It must have been the devil that spoke in her ears and spellbound her for a second. For she could not believe that she had injured her boss in her clear mind.
The blood from his forehead broke her daze and she ran before she knew.
"Fuck! You bitch. Do you think you can leave after attacking me? You are not only going to lose your job but I will send you to prison." he announced as he pressed the wound hard. But when he noticed that she was running, he lost his patience and gritted his teeth.
He followed her but the blood was making him dizzy. When he reached the door, she was already descending the stairs and was far away from his reach. His reach.. But not others.
The staff was looking at her with surprise. They knew that their boss takes a long time with a woman. They could not believe that this woman returned so early and she was able to walk on her feet. Most of them were injured and bloodied to even stand.
His rage rose in his chest again when he felt the brunt of the insult he was going to receive from the staff. A few of them were expecting to have a turn with the woman when he was done.
"Ha! That woman had stolen from me and injured me when I caught her red handed. Hold her." The words felt like fire in the room. Spreading in the ears of every single worker, Abi panicked.
"I.. I haven't stolen anything." she shouted hard but it was a mistake to stop and convince them.
They did not care if she was a thief or not. All they cared about was… she had raged their boss and they could gain from the situation. They would surely be awarded a penny if they returned her to their boss.
She had heard the cases of stealing before in the building and only now did she realized, surprisingly, every thief was a woman. How she had cursed those women in the past.
It must be karma that had come to devour her. She ran faster. Picking up the packed goods and throwing them behind her. She knew.. No employee would dare to run behind her.
They would not dare to trample on those precious clothes. Only one of them would be enough to charge their monthly salary.
"You bitch. Do you think you can run away?" he scoffed as more men followed him. She did not know how and she did not have time to stop and look at them.
She could feel her heart burning and her body giving up. Her heart was beating so fast that it would explode. Everything around her was in a blur. Two more rooms and then she would reach the exit of the factory. If she was lucky, she would find someone there.
Someone who would come for help if she shouted. Or just to see the show. But any distraction would be helpful at this moment.
But before she could reach the door, they covered it and blocked her way.
"Bitch! How dare you steal from our boss when he had treated you so well? You are going to suffer the consequences now. Hold her and tie her. Or better tear her clothes and then bring her to the boss. She must learn her lesson."
