EXCERPT
“No need to be scared, Mademoiselle,” the woman
said. Her thick, French accent made Amara feel panicky.
Amara
focused on breathing, swallowed back her fear, and asked the only question she
could think of. “Why now?”
The
woman shook her head, smiling. It was just as warm as it was vile, and it made
Amara’s skin crawl. “My name is Vivienne LaRue, and I am here to offer you a
job. You’ll make a lot of money,” she said, as her eyes darted around the
restaurant with distaste. “A lot more than you’re making here.”
Amara
licked her lips. “And if I don’t want another job?”
Vivienne
raised her penciled, thin eyebrows and twisted her lips. “You made a deal once,
as I’m sure you remember.”
“I
do, but it’s been…”
“Five
years.”
“Right.
Five years.”
“Your
parents still live in the same house, correct? Drive the nice cars…maybe your
mother doesn’t frequent shops as much, but still has her things. She got her
treatment, her medical bills paid. Who do you think made that possible?”
Amara’s throat tightened
as she listened to Vivienne. She knew, of course, that she was telling the
truth. She just hoped there was something she could do to avoid this situation.
When nothing dawned on her, she sagged into the seat behind her.
“Why
now?” she asked again.
“Why
not?”
“I’ve
been saving money.”
“Not
enough.”
“How
do you know?” Amara asked defiantly.
Vivienne
laughed lightly and took out one sheet of paper from her briefcase. She placed
it in the center of the table, facing Amara.
