The White ceiling greeted me as I slowly opened my eyelids. Pain is the first thing I felt. I groaned we my burned in pain. I tried to push myself from the bed. Two arms supported my back and my eyes shot up to meet the owner of the arms.
There in the chair next to my bed sat Stark, his eyes hooded with an emotion I can't decipher.
Did he know about my facade.
Is he going to kill me.
Will I have a torturous death.
I pushed out the questions away from my head as I looked at him. I opened my mouth to say something and anything that will help me but he hushed me.
"Slowly sweetheart, take it slowly. Daddy is here right with you" the shock hit me hard as he comforted me. My confusion and insecurity thrown out.
He is still clueless.
He is not going to kill me yet.
Emmylin is safe.
Steven is unharmed.
Suddenly it clicked me. I am supposed to play innocent here. As soon as the thought hit me I started crying hysterically. My body shaking.
"I am so sorry Daddy, I a-am sorry. I-I couldn't fight him back" the tears moistened my cheeks.
"Hey, it's okay" he stroked my back. He took out his handkerchief and dried my tears.
"No it's not okay. I am such a disgrace" I think the Hollywood needs me.
"No, you are daddy's princess, you are never a disgrace. I am proud of you" Stalin continued to comfort me.
"I failed you. How can you be proud of me when I am just a useless slut. I let him take her. I failed you. I failed the Red Street. I failed my home. I failed your business. I failed myself."
"You didn't darling. The men failed me. It might have caused a fall in the business but I am glad you are okay." He patted me.
"How can you be so sweet when I have brought you loss". It was a serious question. Why is he so sweet and lovely now. Is he playing with me.
I saw Agatha enter my room with food. She placed the tray on the table. She took my face in her hands.
"You okay dear?" She asked with pure concern washing over her face.
"Yeah" I croaked out.
"See darling, I don't ever want you blaming yourself for what you haven't done. You need not take the blame for those idiots. Agatha told me how you were muttering sorry to me in your sleep. I hate my angel sad"
I stared at Agatha with surprise. Agatha looked away. She lied for me. She lied for Emmylin.
"Today princess will have her breakfast with her daddy's hand" he took the bowl of soup.
"Today we will go and visit Lillian's grave. Pray for her and will call it a night." I gulped the content in the spoon.
"You need not go for work. If you get bored you can go to the club. You can rest for all you want, I will take care of your absent in the motel"
Lillian was Stalin's one and only sister. She was also a prostitute. The young Stalin and Lillian made a life through prostitution. Lillian died young. I have never seen her. No one knows how she died. No one dares to ask.
We visit her grave once in a month. Agatha once told me that Steven loved her immersely as she was the only family. Lillian, Stalin and Donald, his best friend started prostitution a along back ago. Now Stalin is the one left. There are people who say that Stalin killed both of them for more profit.
As I took the last gulp of the soup, Stalin wiped my mouth. He almost looked like a concerned father. Is it true?Is he really my father? Will I ever find out the truth.
"Call me if you need anything." Stalin stood up from his seat. He walked towards the door.
"I am sorry Daddy" I repeated.
He gave me a weak smile. "No need sweetheart, if anyone is here to be sorry that's me" he exited the door after exchanging a few words with Agatha. I sighed in relief. I moved my blankets away with a satisfied smile.
For once I looked in the mirror without feeling disgusted. I feel happy. I am happy for them.

After visiting Lillian's grave I went straight to the club. The club was full of people. I made my way through the masses of bodies huddled together. The repungent smell of alcohol and sweat hitting my nostrils. Bodies grinding my sides almost making me nauseous.
It was 7 in the evening and drunk and horny teenagers were going wild. The smell of drugs and puke were overwhelming. Somehow I made it to Amy to see here making out with some guy. Upon seeing me she pushed him off her body.
"Okay, buddy your time is up." The guy groaned. Amy stood up and approached me.
"Is everything all right!" Amy's worried voice greeted me.
"Yeah, Stalin haven't identified him. Agatha told that there was no trace of them. So I guess everything is alright"
"Thank fuck, now what are you waiting for, let's just shake our booties" Amy pulled me towards the dance floor. I smiled ridicelously. We entered the dance ground.
We moved our bodies according to the beats of the music. Amy was on killer mode. She swayed her hips with her arms up. It seemed like the music was playing according to her moves. I laughed at her when she started to sing the song in the worst way possible.
Soon we got lost in the music. The symphony took control over our body. The people around us were all lost and going wild. Bodies grinding and moving. Suddenly I felt nauseous. The music no longer entertaining me. It felt like someone is watching me. The feeling remained like an itch. I searched for Amy and ended up seeing her make out with a guy.
I turned around to find any familiar faces. And just like that I found a pair of dark eyes watching me intently. When our eyes me I saw him take a sharp breath. He didn't take his eyes off me. He remained there watching me.
I pushed past the drunk people to get near Steven. What the hell is he doing here? Does he have a death wish? Did they catch Emmylin again? The questions messed up my head. I finally reached near him. I saw the waiter on the desk he was leaning on.
"One tequila shot please" I distracted the waiter. He turned around to get my drink. As soon as he left and returned focus on Steven.
"What are you doing here?" I asked through gritted teeth. But he remained unfazed. He the looked behind me. Before I could turn around he pulled me towards him. His masculine scent engulfing me.
"What the f-" he placed his lips on mine swallowing my words. Shock spread through me as his lips moved against me. For some fucked up reason I didn't protest. I interwined my fingers at the back of his neck drawing him closer.
Then he pushed me off suddenly and the same shock took place along with anger in me. He wiped his lips and stared at me with hooded eyes.
"Who the hell-" he placed his finger on my lips. He inches closer. His hands crept to my thigh.
"People are watching us, be careful"his voice was low. I looked around. He was right. People were watching us. If they see a prostitute having a discussion with a stranger, they will suspect.
Steven tugged on my wrists and walked towards a less crowded area which was left to the bathroom. I followed him like a lost puppy. His hand around mine gentle but firm. His skin against mine felt right for some odd reason. I cherished the warmth.
"What are you doing here? Steven. I thought I made it clear that you should not come here again." I said as we reached. Steven leaned into the wall, I stood before him.
"I-I...dammit" he swear under his breath. What was wrong with him? He became silent once again.
"Tell me" I was getting irritated with the moans from the heavy make out session happening beside us.
"Emily wants to thank you" he said it in a go. Almost in a way one couldn't comprehend. Finally I get it. He is not used to say such things. The way his shoulders are hunched up. His eyes unfocused looking everywhere except me. The way his hand creeps into the the side of his neck.
"Is she? " I am not a sadist but I am really enjoying this. I leaned into him further. His dark orbs confused. I saw emotions swirl around them. Our faces inches apart. Our breaths mingled.
"I am too" he rasped. He snaked his arms around my waist and tugged towards him. Our chest pressed together. Our heartbeats syncing in perfect symphony. Safe in the warmth of our bodies we stare at each other.
"You were that girl" his statement took me by surprise. He saw confusion clouding in my eyes.
"You were the one who saved me. Who took the bullet from my body. You were the girl in the hoodie" when his word sunk in realisation hit me.
"How did you-" before I could complete my question he started again.
"Those eyes" he said the words with so much adoration. "These damn eyes seems to capture my heart every second after that night. They follow my thoughts everywhere. And then I found its owner. "
His fingers traced my face, his touch instigating an unknown emotion in me. His words trapping my heart. I closed my eyes letting myself lost.
"I can't seem to take you off my mind. I don't know why" his voice was low.
"This is wrong" I breathed in trying to control my body.
"It doesn't matter" he took hood of my face and captured my lips. His hands around my body mine entangled in his hair. Our lips moving against each other in perfect symphony. A soft music playing at distant. Our hearts dancing to their own song. At that moment I agreed with him.
It doesn't matter
