Gena is taking care of me, after I got the mug shot, I look like a pulp, they beat the shit of me and didn't even give me a first aid.

It's Gena who takes care of me, she looked worried while cleaning my wounds right now. I am catching my breath and her tears start to fall. The other inmates were looking at me.

"I am not a pusher or a user, they set up the drugs because I steal money from them," I explained and they looked worried on my behalf, who would not? I got beaten by guys too. Just because I ran away, that is how they treat a criminal.

"Those police right there is worst, they saw that it's a woman who is injured, yet they choose to ignore your injuries, I am sorry that you are hurt right now, and we understand that you are living in this cruel society." One of the inmates sympathize my situation and I just smile bitterly.

"There, your bruises are clean." Gena said and patted my head.

"Nichelle Almario, someone bailed you out," the policewoman said bitterly, my brows went up and look around me, how does it happen?

"Uh you've probably mistaken me as a different person," I defend and a guy who is wearing a tuxedo appear.

"I am your attorney and pleas-"

"I won't leave here without Gena." I said and held Gena's hand, I don't know who the hell that guy is, but if they will bail me out, I will use that opportunity for Gena, this is all I can do for her.

"Nichelle, my client won't-" I cut him out and went at the corner of the prison cell.

"No, tell your client that I will rot here with my friend." I said and Gena didn't talk, and she is listening carefully at me, watching the guy who said that he is an attorney of mine.

He took a deep breath and look at the police officers behind him. "Fine," he said in defeated voice, and they open the cell.

I am having a hard time to walk, and the guy who is wearing a tuxedo helped me to walk and give a new set of clothes for me.

"Change your clothes, you look filthy." He said after handing over the clothes, and until now, I am still shocked that how does it happened?

When I went back after changing, Gena was sitting there and looked surprised, and they give me ballpen to sign some papers and my hands are shaking while signing the papers.

"My client wants to talk with you right now, please obey me or you will rot in cell for whole twelve years for the offence of illegal possession of drugs and stealing money from your employer," he explained, and I hop inside the car.

"It's a bad decision to involve your friend here, but you insist." Gena holds my hand and gulp. "I will stay where Nichelle is, she is all I have," Gena said and the guy who helps us just shrug his shoulder.

"Who cares, just do whatever they want, that is all you need to do." I look nervous but I still choose to look firm while I am holding Gena's hand right now.

"We are here," he said, and my eyes widen when I saw the big building, and a guard open the door of car. I walked behind the attorney, and Gena looked amazed at the building.

This is my first time see a place like this, and it looks like most of rich people are here, so this is luxurious life is, it's scary.

He knocked at the door, and slowly open it. And a man who is holding a glass wine was there, looking at the city lights and he look powerful at this spot of building.

"Hi, Nichelle." He smiled at me and offered the sofa. Gena looked at me and I sit at the sofa.

"As you can see, I bailed you out because I have scout around the city, for service associates, but the difference is you are under my control because I bailed you out, but don't worry. Your shift is paid, your tips is all yours." He pointed Gena and the attorney assist Gena out of the room.

"Don't worry, dear Gena, right?" Gena nod and he smile. "You are hired, I just need to discuss a few missions for your friend, I won't harm her like what other people did to her." Gena looks convinced on his words and leave the office.

"I am Adam Avignon, the owner of this establishment, and I know that even you didn't finish your studies, you are capable of reading and writing, right?" I nod and he pour brandy to the glass and give it to me.

"I am eyeing on you, saw your talent," he sounds wicked and amazed on my stealing skills, and that is insane.

"I will educate you, and you can do anything you want here but you have one important job to do," he explained and give the glass of brandy to me.

"Steal anything from rich people, lure them and use your looks to deceive people, take advantage of them, that is your job." Mister Adam said and took a sip at the glass of brandy.

"But what if they catch me stealing money from them, how can I sure that I am safe from the job that you are giving to me," I said, and he smile to me.

"I will train you, every dead spot of this place, well this casino has no dead spot, but you need to sign to this paper, just for the security purposes, if ever you decline my offer, you can read each clause there, if you don't trust my words." I automatically grab the pen and sign it.

My urge, when I heard stealing from rich people, it's tempting and satisfying.

"My nephew tried to contact you, but you didn't respond, and this opportunity came," he said and close the folder and I sip at the glass.

"This casino is fully secured, every corner has a camera, but the visible camera is just for the players, just in case they asked for footage or what, but of course, the welfare of my employees is my top tier and I am just being wise at hiring someone like you, so I can avoid the possibility of you, stealing from us," he added and look at the brandy bottle.

"What you steal from my players is my property, remember that." He stands up and walk around the office.

His idea is insane, he sounds greedy, like the players of this casino has no escape, either they win or lose, he still has sure assets from the players.

"It's also your job to push their limit, until need loan, offer sum of money and make them in debt, because that is how this business works," he looked at me and show his evil smile.

"Is it illegal? How sure I am that you will help me, once that I become in trouble?" I asked and Sir Adam laugh, like already anticipated this question of mine.

"You won't be in trouble, until you are working with us, I assure your safety," he explained and I nod, as if I totally understand all of his rules, but deep inside, I am a bit confused.

"I don't know what to say, or do you have any proof that I won't be in trouble once that I work with you?" I asked again, and he give the paper that he got at the coffee table.

"Your case is dismissed; I clear your name already. That is why you have no choice but to work with me and listen to work that I just gave to you." He explained and take a sip at the glass that contains a brandy.

"Alright, but how about Gena?" I asked and he just shrug his shoulder.

"I believe that my attorney took care of Gena and explain her work here," he tells and look like he is up to something right now.

"Believe me, this is a great opportunity, for you and for all of us, so what do you think? Is there any concerns that I need to explain on your behalf?" I looked at him and trying to compose some questions that I want to ask so bad.

Am I sure about this, I mean this job sounds safe, since he assures it and told the things that I need to hear once that I started to work.

"But what will have happened once that I stop working here?" I asked and he nod, and show another set of paper, it looks like a contract to me.

"Three years' contract, and if you plan to run away, that is impossible to happen, that is why we know that even we hired the worst criminal on this planet, we know how and where they are located and have rights to get all of the money and possession that you have while you are working with us." I smile and I think he finally get my actions after I nod to him.

"So, you are part of my team now?" he asked and I smile sweetly and nod softly.

"You have a lot of things that you need to learn before working with us, so please bear with us." He offered his hand for handshake, and I accept it.

"I swear, you won't regret this, and you can do whatever you want, once you know what is the drill, and how this world works." My heart skips a beat when he said that, and a few plans and ideas came into my mind, but for the mean time, I need to learn a new thing that I am not capable as of now.

"Merina!" after he call someone, the door opens and a woman was there, looking good and firm.

"This is Nichelle, please guide her to her room and tell her a few things that she need to learn, interview her too for some background so we know what we are going to do with her, alright?" the woman bowed her head, and I walk out of the office, walking with Merina.

"Hi, I am Merina and I am the personal trainer of all women here at casino, as you can see. You are the newest project of Mister Adam, and I am looking forward to work with you." I smile and she looked surprised when I smile to her.

"I am Nichelle, actually I just got out of the prison for stealing and illegal drug possession, but I swear I am not associated with any drug-"

"It's fine, and I understand." We walked to the wide hallway, before reaching the double door, it has number and she open it for me, using a key card.

"This is your room." My eyes almost drop; the room is bigger than my house and the bed is big.

"You have your own kitchen, bathroom, laundry area, balcony, living area and a balcony." I am still amazed, is this a room or a whole house, because of the function of each space.

"Is there anything you want to be replace?" I shook my head and smile; this is too much to ask.

"And this is your phone, laptop and there are a few clothes there. I will deliver your clothes and foods tomorrow morning, is there anything that you want to know?" I bite my lips and I feel ashamed that I don't know how to use phone, since I barely know basic knowledge.

"I am not a primary school graduate, I barely read but I know the basic math." She nods and take down note what I just said.

"That is not a problem, we can provide a better education for you, and you will learn in a small spawn of time, so don't worry about it, rest now and give me a second." She gets some syringe but looks bigger and use it to my arms.

"That is a chip, I will explain it to you once you learn basic things, but for now. Rest, and your lesson will start tomorrow." She left the room, and I am on my own here now.

I went to the big bed and roll over like a dog. I can't hide my happiness now. So this is the luxurious life that people are aiming for.

I feel agitated and now, I want to release this.

I look for some clothes, and find a comfortable clothe for my workout, and a pair of shoes that is fit for me. I saw my reflection at the mirror. My dead eye still looks the same, and I tie my hair now.
