He was also putting on a black trouser with an armani purple shoe on his leg, he complimented everything with a dark shade on. Smith looked exactly like a well refined handsome young man.

Joy : Am so sorry to hear that, what happened.

Oyibo : She died of appendix, no money to treat it when we discovered it early, when it became too late that's when I was introduced to madam edu who brought me into this business and gave me money for her treatment, but unfortunately she was already dead before I could complete the payment for her operation.

Joy : It must have really hurt.

Oyibo : Yeah, but everyone has his or her story, let's go inside already.

They both knocked on the big gate which was opened by one of sambo thugs that guides the building at night.
They both walked to their room at the back of the mansion. The door to the room was locked from the inside when they got there, joy wasted no time and knocked on the door, after some minutes it was opened by a grumbling favor, who felt that her sweet sleep has being disturbed.
Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the shopping bags on joy and oyibo's hands.

**9: 17 **
Outside madam glow's mansion, a lot taxi pulled over and joy and oyibo came out the taxi after paying off the driver. As oyibo was trying to go over and knock on the gate joy called her back.

Oyibo : What's wrong?

Joy : There's something bothering me

Oyibo :what's that?

Joy : Since you knew that Igun was all but lie why did you continue? You could have just run away.

Oyibo smiles) Sincerely speaking have thought of it too, but I think have gotten used to this work plus I can't just leave and start all over again, don't forget I will always be looking over at my back cause madam will surely send sambo after me.

Joy : Am asking you this cause am currently contemplating on leaving and I don't care if sambo is going to come after me or not.

Oyibo :my dear this is not the best option at the moment.

Joy: why's that?

Oyibo : cause at the moment a big fish is coming your way, and this may just be the best leaving card you can get. Trust me on this.

Joy : That's just it, I can't fully trust you cause I don't know why you are doing this for me, a normal person should be jealous of the opportunity I got.

Oyibo ; You shouldn't lose your faith in people just because of what madam glow your aunt did to you.

Joy: Don't tell me about faith just tell me why you are doing this?

Oyibo : (sighs) Tru.....

Okwulaughs) Seems like you two situation is pretty, I can remember you told me the same thing about yourself when you first came to me.

Oyibo : Yes Okwu, can you help me clear her doubt?

Okwu : (to joy) You are not in any covenant with any living or spiritual being, if you were Ajah would have told me.

Oyibo shaken) Are you sure about this?

Okwu : (Frown) What I hate is doubt, I have told you and that's the truth.

At a little villa towards the outskirts of Eden city, madam edu was reclining on a sofa with a glass of red wine on her hand, she was currently watching a documentary on wild life.
The ringing of her phone brought her back from her full concentration on the TV. Checking the caller it was madam glow, she dropped the wine glass on a side stool and picked the call.

Madam edu : Hello.

Madam glow : oyibo and joy hasn't come back since they left today.

Madam edu: I don't know why that's a problem, I mean it just clocked 9 and that's early for our girls.

Madam glow : is not just that, they left since the early hours of the day, I won't be bothered if is just normal work, but you know joy can't still be working for now cause of the coming of smith she needs time to freshen up herself more.

Madam edu: You take business too serious, just calm down they are grown ups already they know best, am busy bye.

Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.
By : Jimi Hendrix

Oyibo : There's a man coming his way next week, she doesn't know whether her charms or personality will be able to make the man fall in love with her. We want something that will be able to help with that aspect of falling in love. Also we want it to be something subtle and not overly active to avoid suspicion.

Okwu : (thinking) That's no problem, it shall be done as you want it.
( He took out a native chalk from his pocket and drew a circle on the ground, he also drew four lines inside the circle, he faced up and started saying some incantations)
Okwu : Ajah, umu ya bia shi, memenime ele iji neme. (Looking at joy) Put any single amount of money in each line.

( Joy opened brought out her purse from one of the shopping bags, opened it and brought #4000 which she placed a #1000 on each of the check.)

Okwu crushed some of the native chalk into his hand, he blew the crushed powder into the moneys and started saying some incantations. All of a sudden a heavy wind started to blow carrying sands, the leaves on the trees started dropping down, but what amazed joy and oyibo was that no matter how the wind blew the money on the ground still remained glued in the circle, the wind didn't affect it at all. Shock and astonishment filled joy and oyibo faces.
Few seconds later the wind suddenly stopped as if it never happened. Okwu laughed and picked up the moneys in the circle, he then stood up and went through the door of the mud house using his back. few minutes later he came out with a black little container in his hand. He went back to joy and oyibo and handed the container to Joy.

Okwu : Whenever you have bath if possible try and rub the stuff inside, do you understand?

Joy: Yes I understand, is that all?

Okwu : No, for it to maintain it's efficacy you must do something.

Joy worried) what's that?

Okwu : When ever your monthly flow of blood comes out, try and place the black container inside for at least ten minutes, and you must try not to ever get pregnant.

Joy: Why?

Okwu : That is what Ajah requested, you know very well that your monthly flow will stop once you get pregnant. If by mistake you got pregnant try to remove the child within one month or the charm will lose it's potency.

Oyibo : We understand okwu she will adhere to your instructions.

Joy ; Are we not there yet, am tired already.

Oyibo : almost there, just keep walking and talk less.

After turning a bend they surprisingly entered a clearing where a mud house stood, different chalk writings were on the walls of the house. Smoke was coming out of the thatched room as if the inside of the building was burning.
Oyibo walked to the little door in the house followed closely by joy and knocked.

Okwu: Welcome!!

They both jerked after hearing the sudden voice from their back and they immediately turned back.

Oyibo : oh okwu, the great fire that consumes and burn any problem, is great seeing you again.

Okwu : you too, come over and sit down.

(He led them to a bamboo chair under a tree in the compound. Joy studied the man before them, she was expecting an old dirty man as seen in movies but the man before her was a dark complexioned man in his mid thirties, putting on a blue long sleeve and a black trouser instead of the normal red skirt of native doctors. In a nutshell he looked pretty clean and shaven.

Okwu: Sorry I can't offer you kola at the moment.

Oyibo : That's no problem at all, we are actually here for a special business.

Okwu: Hmmm go on.

Oyibo : It concerns my friend here, what you did for me I want you to do something similar but more special.

Okwu: How special?

Oyibo : I know you won't believe me and that's why am going to take you to somewhere.

Joy : Where?

Oyibo : If you want to get Mr Smith, you can't only rely on yourself, you will have to take some drastic actions. Haven't you wondered how I get my rich and i influential customers easily.

Joy : I thought you were just being lucky.

Oyibo : In this our work, because of much competition you do not rely only on luck, most of us take other measures to stand out.

Joy : Hmmm.

Oyibo : We are forced to look at other places to get the ability to stand out. We then visit some native doctors for help, that's how I got involved with Okwu the native doctor to Ajah in ukuni village . (showing a red bracelet with black dots on it) He gave me this bracelet to always wear going out for my work.

Joy: This is really interesting.

Oyibo : I will take you there and am sure he will have something for you that will make your job in getting Mr Smith to love you, plus you will also confirm if Igun is really real or not. Are you up to it.

Joy : I made a promise to myself and grandmother to surely succeed in life. All this I will do so as to add value to chinedu my heart, who knows I might use this chance and go to abroad to see him. I'm up to it.

Oyibo : Good, some money was sent to me by madam, let's go and withdraw it so that we can go shopping before going to ukuni.

Joy : why don't we go first, after coming back we shop..

Oyibo : is a bit far I don't think we will come back early.

By : Albert Einstein

Madam glow : hmmm, which girl would be best for him, oyibo would have being the best candidate but due to her recent rude behaviors we can't possibly be congratulating her for it and give her this gold landmine.

Madam edu ; In my opinion I think Joy would be the best choice.

Madam glow laughs) Are you being serious or just joking with me?

Madam edu : I'm being fully serious.

Madam glow : Why did you choose her, I mean she is just a newbie in this.

Madam edu : That makes her the best choice, knowing Smith he doesn't really like people who are always business minded which many our girls has turned into after staying in this job for some time now. Also joy's hole is still well tight cause of few penetration.

Madam glow : You have a few points, but remember Smith is a white man and is not overly concerned about the tightness of the pussy, plus victoria can also fill up, cause she herself has only being here a year ago.

Madam edu : victoria is also a good choice but joy surpasses her in terms of beauty and well defined curves.

Madam glow : But...

.madam edu : (interrupts) Lets just leave it at that let me get to make this decision pls.

Madam glow ; (reluctantly) ok I hear.

** FEW HOURS LATER **

Joy and oyibo were facing madam glow and edu in the sitting room, joy seems to have gain some maturity into her cute face, this did not lessen her beauty in any way but it looked like it blossomed. Her curves and body were well accentuated in the tight red gown she was wearing.

Madam edu ; Joy, how have you being faring?

Joy : As you can see madam am doing great.

Madam edu ; Good the reason we called you too over is because we have some real business for you two, mainly for you joy.

**PRESENT DAY **
After remembering what she and her grandma discussed on the eve of her departure to the city, She took a deep breath and finally took a decision.

*NEXT DAY **
In the same mansion sitting room, but only madam glow, madam edu and Joy were present.

Madam Edu : So have you come to a decision?

Joy: Yes.

Madam edu :Whats your answer then?

Joy : I agree, am ready to work for my own education and any other things.

Madam Glow: That's more like it my beautiful niece.

Joy: Madam glow Am not your niece we have no relation henceforth.

Madam glow smiling mischievously) Yeah that's more like it, I like it better if you are like this. Ok we proceed to the next phase.

After that Madam glow stood up, signaled for joy to follow and went through a door in the left side of the sitting room. Joy looked worriedly at madam edu who assured her by nodding her head, then joy followed suite and went through the door followed closely by madam edu.
The door actually led to a average long way with only another door at the end. Reaching the door madam Glow took out a key and inserted and clicked on it two times which the door gave way and she walked inside. Taking a deep breath joy entered the door followed by madam edu.
Entering the room joy almost ran away out of fear if not of madam edu who was blocking the way to the door. The room was surrounded round with red and white materials, blood could be seen on the materials but it was more evident in the white materials in room.
A statue of a big oracle with protruding teeth was at the center of the room, dried and fresh bloods were all over it. In front of the oracle was a medium size statue of a mermaid holding a little pot on it's head, a average size living snake wrapped itself around the mermaid. Water was constantly sprinkling down from the mermaid head bathing it and the snake and then flows down to God knows where.

By : Abraham Lincoln

That night Joy kept turning on her bed thinking about her next line of action, she was fully aware that any decision she makes will be her next turning point in her life road.
Should she stick to her earlier decision and not prostitute, but that could be risky cause underneath madam edu's voice she could notice some threats in it. If she decides to prostitute would she be able to have the courage to let another man come close and touch her apart from her love chinedu . At long last she finally slept off in the early hours of the next day after concluding on the whole thing.

**FLASHBACK **
(ON THE NIGHT BEFORE JOY LEFT VILLAGE)

Under the mango tree in their compound, mama was discussing with joy while madam glow was inside sleeping.

Mama: joy my daughter do you really want to follow your aunt to the city?

Joy: of course mama.

Mama: Is not like I don't want you to go but you of all people should know the bad relationship her and your mother had when she was still alive . I advice you stay back here find something doing get married and raise your own children. If I was still young I would have personally used my own strength and train you in school.

Joy : I understand your concern mama, but the truth is what my aunty had was between her and my mother it doesn't concern me at all and I believe she has my welfare in her heart. I want to go to school to add more value to me and my future husband, I want him to be proud of me wherever he goes.

Mama : a dog meant to die won't heed to the whistle of the hunter. Since you have made up your mind I have no choice but to bless u. But I must tell you do not ever come back to this village again unless u have fully made it in school and established yourself.

JoyBaffled) I don't know why you said that but I promise you that I will surely become successful before coming back here, I will really surprise you

*continues from flashback *

Chinedu helped her out to unlock the belt and pull the trouser quickly. He also got rid of the boxer he was on. She took a deep breath and used her hand to wrap around his dick and started stroking it. The more she did such the more it hardens, and he moaned softly. Seeing that time was going she helped and pull out her own pant.
He kissed her and slowly laid her on the bed, he tried to penetrate into the holy ground but it was almost like hitting a wall. He tried again adding a little more force, but instead it elicited a painful moan from joy.

Chinedu amazed) Baby are you a virgin?

Joy : Yes and I want you to be the one to take it as a sign of my love and also a promise from me that I will always wait for you?

Chinedu : Are you sure about this? Is gonna be painful.

Joy : Don't worry just do it.

He spat on his palm and rubbed it in his dick, slowly he pushed in accompanied with low painful moans from her. At last his dick was able to enter and he stayed a while to allow her pussy to get used to the stuff in her. Slowly he started to go in out, he later quickened the pace a little after starting to hear pleasurable moans from her instead of the usual painful.
He leant over to suck her boobs while fucking her, that threw her into the sea of pleasures and she moaned louder . Due to the tight pussy walls contracting and massaging his dick he didn't waste time before pouring inside her.

Chinedu : (breathing heavily) I love you baby.

Joy : I love you more.

**BACK TO THE PRESENT **

Madam : You are a virgin.

Joy : ( Deep breath) No am not.

Madam edu ; Then is more easy for you to do it, some of the girls that even came here were once virgins but they didn't put up any issue. Don't worry I promise to help you out and your stay here won't be with any difficulty, I promise to help you get few and influential customers.

Joy: Why do you want to help aren't you in the same business with my aunt.

Madam edu sighed) Cause I was once like you in some ways, taken to the city by my own elder sister to go into this business. But that's all in the past now, what I want you to do is to sleep over the whole thing and make up your mind on where you will stand. Good day.

Joy: There's also something I want to give you as the sign of my love for you.

She kissed him on his lips, caught off guard chinedu took some moments before he started replying to the kiss. Slowly they made their way to the miniature bed in the room. He located for her boobs and started massaging and squeezing it through her clothes.
Joy helped out and removed the blouse she was putting on, it remained only her bra obstructing the big towers. She turned her back to him and he wasted no time in unhooking the bra. She faced him and lo and behind two beautiful erect boobs were looking at him. He grabbed one and began to suck on it. Feeling that the other boob was not being properly treated he switched to the other using his hand to be squeezing the other.
As if to encourage his effort Joy started to moan out in pleasure, she helped and pull his polo and started to help pull out his belt .
