Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 193

"Of course, that can be done easily. But can you wait a bit? We have very important guests right now and she needs to attend to them. And we do not want to offend them, especially since they will appear in the video, too. How about this? I'll wait until the important guests leave, so you can get the video tomorrow?"

Brooke suggested. He glanced over at Carla and glared at her.

"Fine. Send me the video tomorrow morning. When the guests leave, you'll have the chance and plenty of time before dawn comes," Bonnie agreed since her plan was still intact.

Anyway, Carla was not an innocent woman any longer. She was working as a prostitute now. Bonnie had already won half the battle and she wasn't in a hurry to declare her victory.

'Will Terence accept a whore?' Bonnie thought to herself. A vicious smile appeared on her lips. 'I don't think so. He may be kind but he's not a saint.'

"Yes, of course. You can count on us,"

Brooke promised Bonnie on the phone.

He gave the phone back to his men and smirked at Carla, "See? I'm not the one who wants to harm you." Brooke turned to his men and pointed to Carla, "Take her out! Get her to work now!"

Brooke strode out of the room and left Carla with his men.

Brooke was still disturbed because of Noah's call. 'Mr. Noah might want to protect Carla. I don't want to disobey him. What if he knows about this plan?

'But Miss Bonnie insists on revenging on Carla. And Miss Bonnie is Mr. Noah's younger sister. It is her decision, not mine. So Mr. Noah won't blame on me.

I'd better do as Miss Bonnie bids.' Brooke made up his mind.

Carla watched Brooke leave. Her stomach rumbled and she knew this was going to be bad.

And from the way things have gone, she would be forced to give up her body and dignity by the time the sun rose.

Brooke's men took her out to work as a waitress. She was relieved, in a way. Since her uniform clearly indicated who she was, the customers knew how much to leer and touch her without asking for a lot. They knew how the game was played.

Carla was disgusted at the scene which she was part of and she felt helpless.

She knew this was just the beginning and there was more suffering to come.

The glitz and glamour would continue until dawn. Carla could barely keep her eyes open. She glanced at the clock and realized it was almost two in the morning.

The night hung heavy on Carla and the helplessness, sleeplessness and disgust drove her crazy.

Finally, Carla was able to sneak in some rest. She found an empty armchair, tucked in a hidden corner, where nobody could see her. She was finally off to dreamland when somebody nudged her awake.

Carla jumped up straight but cursed when she got on her feet. "Doesn't anybody here sleep at all?"

It was Erica, the other woman she saw, who woke her up and said, "Go and change your dress."

Carla was able to leave when Erica grabbed her arm to stop her. She pushed a purple dress in her hand and warned Carla, "This is already your fate, Carla. Just accept it and keep quiet." Erica gave her a sympathetic look before she pulled Carla. She led Carla to a small room so she could change. Erica turned to her and said, "Just remember. Don't do anything to offend the guests. Just do what they say, if you don't want to be punished."

Carla inspected the purple dress Erica gave her. The color purple meant she was going to have to do whatever the strange men told her to do. Carla tried to smile but couldn't. She thought she might be safe for a few days but it was only the first night and she just wanted to escape.

'God, where are you? Answer my prayers. All I want is to be safe, ' Carla prayed in her heart, 'I'm not asking for much, God. Why don't you fulfill my wish?'

"You need to get yourself together. You'll only make things worse. Just stick it out for a few more days and you might find a chance to leave soon. And when you leave, you can find a place where nobody knows you and you can start a new life," Erica advised. "Just remember, your life is what counts!"

She knew the helpless and lost expression on Carla's face all too well. She had the same face on her first day in that place.

But Carla could leave one day. She couldn't. This was already her home and she had nowhere else to go and nothing else to do.

She could never go back to the boy she loved and missed so much because she was no longer the girl he knew and loved.

Carla fought back her tears and changed into the purple dress. She took the plate that Erica gave her and dragged herself to the private rooms on the second floor.

Carla stopped and took a deep breath. She held her shoulders high. 'I won't give in. I am the master of my own fate!' Carla told herself.

'If it had to come to the worst, I would rather die than be ruined by them.

I will do this for Terence so he can keep me in his mind his whole life, ' Carla smiled through her tears.

She knew Terence was not going to be able to save her. This was HA City, not JA City and it was going to take time for him to get here.

Besides, HA City was a big city, under the domain of the Hua family. It was going to be a miracle if he could come to her quickly.

"Go inside now! Don't just stand there. Chop-chop!"

One man saw Carla had stood frozen outside the door and shouted at her.

Carla grimaced. She felt so disgusted but she knew she had to endure this for a few more days so she could escape. She opened the door and stepped inside to be greeted by a sea of strange faces. Panic rose up in her.
