DISVIRGINED BY MY FUCK BOSS

~ NOVA POV ~

I gripped my small bag tight, the one with all my essentials and a flyer I'd picked up on the plane on my other hand.

The flyer had a picture of a city that looked like a dream, lush green trees, busy streets, and huge houses that seemed fit for royalty. "Florida, Miami" was emblazoned across the top in big, bold letters.

I had no idea what to expect, but something about the image drew me in. I felt a spark of excitement and curiosity, and I knew that Miami was where I wanted to be.

As I stood in the queue after the plane stopped. The air outside was filled with hope and the smell of a new start. This place was a dream I'd had all my life, thanks to Sir Thomas. The memory of my escape from the orphanage was still fresh.

I recalled Lila's words as she handed me my bag: "You don't have to leave, Sister Nova. We can talk to Mother Superior Angela and explain that you don't want to be transferred." She spoke out of clear ignorance.

Lila and I had grown up together within the orphanages walls, nurtured by the sisters who portrayed the outside world as a treacherous place.

Which is why she is reluctant to see me go, making me feel like I was abandoning a haven for a den of lions. Despite her efforts to persuade me to stay, I remained resolute.

I longed for a change, yearning for a life beyond the orphanage's walls. The prospect of being adopted into a family that might be harsh and unloving filled me with unease.

The rumors of exploitation and illicit activities that supposedly lurked outside the orphanage's gates only added to my anxiety, making the idea of being adopted into the unknown even more daunting.

The fear of the unknown and the possibility of abuse hung over me like a dark cloud. Stories of girls being mistreated and exploited after adoption sent shivers down my spine.

I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd be trapped in a nightmare if I were adopted into the wrong family. The longing for my parents, who would have shielded me from all this uncertainty, was almost unbearable. But as an orphan, I felt utterly alone, with no safety net to fall back on.

"I know you're scared, Lila," I said calmly, "but I promise I'll be fine. I want to find a better life, free from hardship and suffering.

We don't have parents or anyone to rescue us, so can't you just trust me for once?" My voice was soothing, and Lila responded with a quick nod. I've always had a way of staying calm under pressure.

"I trust you," Lila said, her voice trembling, "but I'm going to miss you so much. What if something bad happens to you? What if you don't come back for me?"

Her words hung in the air, filled with uncertainty. Despite my own weaknesses, I've always been the strong one for Lila.

Lila and I had been each other's support system since childhood, with me being just a year older. I knew my departure would devastate her, but I had no choice.

I'd always dreamed of freedom, independence, and a life beyond the orphanage's walls. My plans were to further my studies, start my own business, and be my own boss. But none of that was possible if I stayed trapped here or got adopted.

"I'll come back for you, hunny bunny," I promised, trying to reassure her.

"And that's a promise I intend to keep. Everything will be fine."

Those were my parting words before I got into the car with Sir Thomas, just as the sisters closed in.

"Hello, hope you enjoyed your fight?"
