Uncovered - Volume 1 Chapter 9 “Keep your head up, keep your heart strong“- 4

“Didn’t you listen, Teresa, go there.” She instructed me.

“What’s happening?” I asked her and she smiled at me.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot. A client is coming so all the Dolls have to be presented there. The client will look at you and he will choose one of you. He will then take you with him for the night and in the morning he will bring you back along with the money promised.” She explained and I nodded my head slowly, walking towards the other girls.

At that point, I felt terrified. They were all giving me dirty looks and some of them were whispering different things to me. I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath and then reopened them to see the door in front of us open.

“He is here.” I heard someone whisper. I heard gasps and whispering along with the sound of heavy footsteps.

“Mr. Alaric here are the Dolls,” Grace told him, but I didn’t hear a reply and, even though, I really wanted to see the face of the man I decided to keep my head down. I just wanted to be invisible right now.

My heart was beating faster by each second that passed and I felt like I couldn’t breathe, especially when a pair of dark brown boots came in view. A large hand pushed m hair away from my face and soon my chin was taken in-between his fingers as he titled m head up to look at him. And that’s exactly the moment I forgot what was happening around me because the only thing I could see was green.

Beautiful green eyes.
