Chapter 7

Harper rubbed her sore neck as she looked at her reflection in the mirror of the bathroom. She worked as a waitress in a bar and was on the early shift. She had been working since 6 am and was beyond exhausted. She looked up at the clock on the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily it was 11.30 which meant she had half an hour left before she had to go home. Hopefully, she would be able to find someone who could help her out with her mother's issue.

Most of the customers in the bar were rich and had several connections. Harper knew several of them as she had been working in the bar for almost two years. Some of them were extremely friendly and Harper was in high hopes of one of them being able to help her.

"Harper?" "Yes Tina?" "The manager says you should take these to room 206!" "Oh,ok I'm coming". Tina was also a waitress like Harper and they had been friends for quite a while. "So how is it?" "No luck yet" "Oh dear, don't you worry okay? I'm sure one of the people in there should be able to help" "Hmm" "Okay now hurry up, can't keep the customers waiting" "I'll see you later" "Kk"

"Room 206 okay here we go" Harper knocked on the door and gently opened it as soon as she got permission to enter. Last time she had accidentally entered a room where a couple was having their intimate moment,it was a very awkward situation where she would have lost her job if the couple wasn't friendly and she most definitely didn't want that to happen again.

As Harper walked in, she couldn't help but have a feeling that something bad was going to happen. She wanted to step out but had to brace herself 'Come on Harper, you can do this. Remember, you have to save your mother'. She finally reached the place where the customer was seating and when she looked up,she was stunned to see Chloe.

"You? How? What are you doing here?" "Easy there sis, I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to have a little chat" "What do you want from me?!" Harper slowly moved back and was about to leave when someone suddenly blocked her way out "What's this supposed to mean?" "Nothing. I just wanted to have a little chat with you but since you don't want to..." Chloe snapped her fingers and the huge man in front of Harper suddenly placed a handkerchief over her nose causing her to lose consciousness.

A few minutes later Harper opened her eyes only to see herself tied to a bed. She felt someone looming over her and looked up but was shocked.

"M-Mr Martin?!"
