Chapter 2 Sonia

Right as I was about to surrender to my fate, someone barged into the room. With a smile, Sonia entered with several others behind her. “Oh my dear Tiger, you're in such a good mood today. Why didn't you get me when you arrived here?” Tiger had spread my legs and was riding on my body when Sonia came in. So he froze when she entered the room. Sonia was the manager of our bar. She had settled many matters for the bar owner, and the bar owner trusted her. Most of the bar patrons were respectful toward her. However, it was very rare for her to enter the private rooms; she must have heard it from someone, and that was why she was there. Sonia gave me a reassuring look. With her in the room, hope burned anew in me. However, it seemed like Tiger was not interested in entertaining Sonia. He frowned and snapped, “Who do you think you are? You have ruined my mood. Are you going to serve me in her place?” Experienced in similar situations, Sonia remained calm. She chuckled before replying, “Tiger, why would you be mad because of her? Don't assume she's a virgin just because she looks innocent. She already had sex with others, and the other patrons felt that she was too dry and boring.” I knew those words were meant to save me, and I shot her a grateful look in silence. At that moment, I was also glad that the room was sound-proofed. Tiger fell silent as he eyed Sonia coldly, his thoughts were indecipherable. After a long while, he kicked me aside and grinned lustfully at Sonia. “I heard you've retired and haven't slept with anyone for a long while. Sure, you can save her, but you'll have to take her place. If you do that, I'll pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, don't be surprised if I take things up with your boss.” Our boss had to be capable to be able to own a bar like Phoenix; he would have connections in both the authorities and the underworld. I was very sure that Tiger must have thought of that; which was why he dared not cause a ruckus. However, he wanted to salvage his dignity. “Sonia...” I shook my head at the other woman with tearful eyes, but there was nothing I could say. Sonia did not look at me. Instead, a small smile grew on her lips, and she turned to tell the other girls, “Take Erica out.” The girls then helped me up. By then, I was completely weak in the knees, and I was sobbing as I struggled. “Sonia, don't! Please! Don't...” I knew what it meant for me to leave while Sonia stayed. I could not bring myself to be so selfish to let her replace me. “Take her out right away!” Sonia roared. Even then, she did not spare me a glance. “Erica, be sensible and stop struggling. Sonia has been through many things; she'll know how to handle this. Let's leave now and stop troubling her further.” Summer, a coworker with whom I was on good terms, whispered in my ear. She then swiftly helped me out of the room. The door slowly closed behind me, and I tried to look back. All I could see was Tiger's men swarming forward to take off Sonia's clothes. When Sonia was brought back, she was covered in bruises. We all knew what happened in the room. It was nothing but gang rape.
