Its Too Late To Forgive

Claire returned to her office in the evening. Bella's appointment letter and ID along with the original ID was kept on her table.

She casually took a glance but her eyes were wide opened. She couldn't believe in what she saw. This was an ID card of a girl whose beauty was beyond what words could describe.

Her pure spotless white skin, her rosy cheeks, lusty pink lips, God's own creation of beautiful eyes that can make anyone sink into them , black silky smooth hair flowing as if they were telling a story. In total her beauty was like of an enchantress. Claire being into this business has seen plenty of beautiful girls but this one was unbeatable.

Then she saw that this ID which was not made by any government agency or by any company plus it was made only 4 years back. It seemed as if it was made for some special purpose.

Then she recollected the looks of 'Bella', whom she meet in the morning. A humble girl, who even though was just 22 years old but my the condition of her face skin, which was full of wrinkles, she looked like in her late 30's. She had yellow dull hair. A hideous scar on her right forehead. Broken skin. Papery thin body.

Claire got goosebumps when she recollected her looks.

Just 4 years. What has happened to this girl in these 4 years that she changed so much!!

She doesn't know why but she really wanted to know more and more about Bella. She reminded her of someone close.

"Bella, What are you?"

Another four months passed since Bella started working in the club LAS DEUX.

When night fell, the city would lit up in thousands of neon lights and another era of pleasure will start.

Even though Bella was slow in her work but she worked very efficiently and Claire was very happy with that. Bella was never distracted from her work and always did what everyone told her to do.

She was always quiet and withdrawn, and she did everything that she was asked, even if it was not her work. She never retorted and never talked back, even if they purposely gave her a tough time.

Bella did everything, from sweeping the toilets, to cleaning the dustbins and disposing the garbage. From cleaning up all the vomiting to all the trash made in the private booths.

She cleaned all the private booths and set them up daily before starting of the club. She made sure that each and every corner is well cleaned.

Before going home, she always opened the thick curtains of these booths so that sunshine can come inside and freshen up the rooms.

Bella returned to her utility room and neatly placed her cleaning supplies there.
