Tainted Love by Maniah (english novels to read .TXT) 📕

Vani Pov.

No, I will never do this. Never, I won't.  I can't.

Then what will you do Vani? How will you arrange the money? It's the only way left, do it. Call the number Vani, save your family. Save your home Vani. Call the number. 

No Vani, don't. Don't do this to yourself, don't do this. Do it Vani. Save your family… And I screamed in frustration, I don't know what to think. I closed my eyes and mother's face came in front of them and I made the decision. Vani will become Vanya, I dialled the number and a girl spoke up in English.

"Good morning, this is  Sehgal group of companies, How may I help you?" 

I gulped down the nervousness "I...I am Vanya, Mr Sehgal asked me to call on this number." 

"Miss Vanya from the modelling Agency?" She asked.

"Yes," I replied closing my eyes, clutching the cell phone tightly in my hand.

"Please share your Address ma'am so that a driver can pick you for the scheduled appointments for boutiques and Spa." 

I told her my address "please be ready in 45 minutes, A driver with Mr Sehgal's secretary will pick you up from your house," saying that she ended the call. 

I went to my room and changed my clothes, I don't want to think about anything because if I do that I will lose my courage to go through this. I wore a white salwar suit with dupatta, that's the only piece of cloth I have which is in good condition. After 30 minutes a horn sounded outside and my phone rang. A call to inform me that the car has arrived.

When I went downstairs and saw the car, I was stunned seeing it, A blue Luxurious Car I have only seen in Movies and Tv dramas. I gulped and went towards it, the driver was standing outside, wearing a black suit which has an SGC logo on it, he frowned seeing me but then nodded and opened the door. When I stepped inside, I saw a girl, who was already sitting there. She glanced at me and frowned "you are Vanya?" 

I nodded because words didn't leave my mouth, she nodded but the frown was still visible in her face "please make yourself comfortable." 

I sat down in the seat, anxious and scared, fidgeting my sweaty fingers, and gulped when the car stopped with a halt and driver opened the door for me "step out ma'am," the girl said and I jumped at the voice startled  "are you alright miss?" 

I nodded and stepped out of the car, I looked at the huge glass building and the people around me wearing expensive clothes. They were staring me and I felt conscious about myself. 

"Come ma'am," the girl said and started moving forward. When we entered inside the building my eyes, widened seeing the beauty of it. The interior was starkly white with beautiful paintings hanging on the walls. The floor was glistening that I could see my face in it. People were looking at me with interest as if imagining what a girl like me doing here? 

 " This way miss," The girl with whom I came here said and I followed her, she led me further inside and stopped at the place which was full of clothes, clothes I have seen actresses wear in films. 

"Hello, Leena,"  I hear the girl talking to a woman and like her, the woman was also wearing those expensive clothes. She glanced my way and the woman nodded, she smiled and then came towards me.

"Hello, I am Leena, Mr Sehgal's Assistant and I will help you with everything today. Do you have any preferences for any particular colour or design?" She asked smiling.

I was numb, didn't know what to say or how to answer her question. I understand what she was asking but didn't know how to speak in English so I only shook my head in no. It was the only thing I could manage.

"Alright, come we will start with the spa and after that the accessories and wardrobe,  she took me the fourth floor in the Spa where she started with hair and face. I flinched in pain when she was doing my eyebrows. After that, she moved to hair. She checked my skin type and decided some gold facial when she was done with my face she ordered for the manicure and pedicure. 

" choose a colour for the nail paint ma'am," Leena asked. I didn't reply. I feel like a sacrificial lamb today, who was being worshipped before sacrificed. "It doesn't matter," I replied. 

She just smiled and chooses one herself. I thought it was over. But it was not. I gasped when she asked me to remove my clothes so that she could do body polishing and bikini waxing.

I shook my head to say no but stopped remembering why am here. With shaking hands, I changed into the offered robes and suffered the torture.

After there hours when I looked at myself in the mirror, I could not even recognise the girl standing in front of the mirror. This girl was deceptive like an illusion.

Then Leena took me to the clothes section and chose dresses for me. Dressed in every colour and style. The most embarrassing moment came when she took me to the lingerie section. "What's your size?" She asked checking the lingerie sets.

"Thirty-two," I replied and she nodded passing the lingerie to me "alright, try them out." 

After six hours Leena smiled and informed me that it was finally over.

"If you want something from your house you can pick It up, Mr Sehgal asked for your presence tonight, Miss Vanya." 

I had nothing which I wanted to take with me, the things which I have didn't suit people like Mr Sehgal. I clutched the paper bag which had my salwar suit in it. 

"I'll be waiting for you here, miss, please come soon," she said when the driver stopped the car in front of Sangeeta's building. When I entered Sangeeta's flat she eyed me up and down "wow, you look different. Nice catch."

"Sangeeta, can I keep my clothes here till it's finished? I don't want to take anything with me," I whispered.

"Sure, anyway, your mother called, your phone was switched off and she was crying, something about your uncle asking for money."
