Chapter 0044

ASHANTI’S POV.

“Three days in a week and two days in a row? They are definitely doing this on purpose! Lisa is doing this to get back at me!” I scream at the top of my voice, panting and fuming with rage. I am so close to crying right now. I’ve been called up to serve men again tonight and I don’t know what to do with myself.

“Now this is a call for concern, they can’t keep doing this.” Says Tessa, sitting upright on her bed. I plop on mine and bury my face in my palms, groaning hard.

I abhor going to that lounge to serve men. Delta Kyle has saved me two times already, what are the odds that he’ll be there to save me for the third time?

Zero.

I will be on my own today.

“How about I disguise as you and go? We have almost the same features. If I can just dye my hair black and put on your clothes, we can pull it off.” Tessa suggests. I raise my head from my palms and look at her, shaking my head.

“No. You’ll get caught in the dressing room. And also, since they are doing this on purpose, they’ll all be waiting for me to show up. All eyes will be searching for me. i have no choice but to go there

myself, I don’t want to put us both in trouble.” I rise from the bed, sighing in exasperation. “I need to go now, it’s time for me to go get dressed.”

“Don’t be too sad. Who knows? Maybe Delta Kyle will show up again.”

“I’m sure Delta Kyle has other important things to do with his time, Tessa. I’m too insignificant.”

“But he likes you.”

“Here we go again.” My arms free fall to my side as my shoulders sag. I give her a serious look.

“No, he doesn’t.”

“Let’s bet on that fact. What do you have to lose?” She stretches her palm towards me. I look at the outstretched palm and then at her, wondering if she has lost my mind. I take a step back.

“Nothing! I’m not betting with you. Delta Kyle doesn’t have any romantic feelings for me. Period!”

“Keep denying it.”

“Because it’s not true!” I rush out of the door to get out of the room, but I come to an abrupt halt in my tracks when something pops in my mind. I spin around to look at Tessa once again.

“Are you now ready to accept the fact that Delta has feelings for you?” Her brows are raised. I roll my eyes hard.

“Duli! No! What about the picture, any updates?”

“Nope. My crew and I are still trying to string the letters together. It’s quite difficult.”

“Ah, I see.” I say, nodding my head and the most brilliant idea crosses my mind. A wide smile spreads on my face.

“What?” Tessa is curious. I quickly shake my head and rush out of the bedroom. I can’t tell her. If I do, she’s going to try to talk me out of it because what I intend to do is quite dangerous.

I’m going to steal a cellphone from one of the men today so I can use it to call my father.

If I want to leave this pack someday and find my mum, I have to start from somewhere and it’s here.
