Demonic Pornstar System - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Julia Levander
He stood behind a desk, so Kaiden thought he might be the receptionist.

“Morning,” The man spat, letting Kaiden know hospitality was not a strong suit of this establishment.

“Morning. I’m looking to speak with another receptionist working here.”

“Another receptionist?” the man asked back with a tone that suggested Kaiden was speaking a foreign language.

“Yeah?” Kaiden was surprised. Aria said her mother worked here as a receptionist. If her colleague didn’t know her, then just what the hell was going on?

“Let’s clear this thing up. You got a name?”

“Julia Levander.”

The man smirked upon hearing his words. “Thought so. She was fired, or should I say demoted?” He then started chuckling ominously under his breath, letting his ugly, rotting teeth show.

“… Demoted?” Kaiden couldn’t help but feel that something was horribly wrong here.

“Just this morning, the boss had enough of her. She’s one of the working girls now.”

“I still wish to speak with her.”

“Speak?”

“Yeah, I’m not interested in her services.”

He shook his head and had an annoyed tone to his voice as if Kaiden was a pest he wanted to get rid of. “No can do. Pay for an hour or wait until her shift ends. Though she might just pass out in her room after getting high, most of the workers do that.”

“…” Kaiden was shocked at his attitude, while the words he spouted made his heart ache. These people were utterly miserable. “Alright, how much?”

“You’ll be her first customer, so there’s a big premium on her services… or so I would say, but that one is about to get past its expiry date, I’m afraid. I would try to direct your attention to another whore but since you’re not here for that type of a visit I will not do so. She costs $30 for an hour.”

Kaiden couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her price. This woman was selling her soul for such a meager amount? She would make more as a waitress, and that was if she got to keep all of the money he paid for her time, which was entirely unrealistic. She was working under the minimum wage and most likely by quite a bit at that.

“I see…

The ‘receptionist’ then pushed a button, most likely to let her know a customer was coming up so she could make whatever last-minute preparations she needed to.

Kaiden then made his way up the stairs with a grim expression. This place was just pure misery. He knocked on the door as he was instructed to, and a faint “Come in” sounded from the other side.

He took a deep breath, preparing himself mentally, and then opened the door. His heart instantly contorted to a horrible degree.

A woman stood in front of him who was very clearly Aria’s mother. The resemblance was uncanny, but Kaiden felt like he was watching a ‘bad end’ route to Aria’s story when he laid eyes on her mother.

Julia was all skin and bones, so much so that calling her anorexic would be generous. Her long, silvery hair was ragged and started losing its unique color as it was turning grey instead. Her exhausted eyes had big, dark circles under them, and there were no signs of life in them.

Back when the man down below called her an ‘expiring product,’ Kaiden naively thought he meant she was getting on in age, but that was the least of her problems.

This was a dying woman. Her frailty was so pronounced it was hard to imagine she had ever been a vibrant person, let alone someone who could have had children. Her gaunt cheeks and hollowed eyes made her look more like a corpse than a mother.

“Is there an issue? You can still request someone else…” Julia dejectedly murmured under her breath once he was staring at her for way too long. Seeing he was reluctant to leave, she assumed he was here to stay, so the woman reached for her robe and began parting it alongside a heavy sigh.

Kaiden had two routes he could take.

The kind one or the harsh one.

As far as he was concerned, this was a mother who abandoned her children to pursue her drug addiction, so he went with the latter one, no matter how much it hurt him to see a ruined version of Aria be in even more pain than she already was. Kaiden had to get to the bottom of things, and he thought this was the best path he could take.

To that end, he sat down in a chair nearby, making Julia eye him with confusion. Kaiden followed up by speaking in a distant, authoritative tone. “Stop disrobing yourself, I’m not here for pleasure. I just wanted to see the failure of a mother who abandoned her three children.”

Julia’s eyes immediately widened. She took an instinctive step back, but then her spunk returned. “I-I will not be spoken to like that!” she shouted and turned to leave, but then Kaiden raised his voice once again with an even more hostile tone. “I bet you didn’t even know that your actions had forced Aria Levander to sell her virginity so that she could take care of your children, did you?”

Kaiden’s words made the miserable woman freeze in place for a good five seconds before she turned toward him with slow, robotic motions. Julia mutely stared at him with eyes that were entirely disbelieving but also beyond horrified at the same time.

Seeing her reluctance or inability to reply, Kaiden decided to hammer the nail in more. “Like mother, like daughter. Is that what you want? To see your children sell themselves like you do? Well, if the answer is yes, then you’re doing a wonderful job at it.”

This seemed to do the job of getting Julia out of her dazed state of mind. She started hyperventilating while tearing up and stammering, “N-no! No! I-I-I- this can’t be true!”

“But it is. If someone should know the truth, it would be me. After all, she sold her innocence to a porn studio. I was the one who tore her hymen. You can check online if you need concrete evidence.”

Kaiden’s words immediately caused her tears to stop flowing as she growled at him with extreme fury. The woman then lunged at him while forming a fist, aiming for his jaw.

He watched the weak and frail woman’s actions without making a single move. Julia might as well have been moving in slow motion according to his perception, yet he still didn’t move to defend himself.

*Bam*

A mosquito bite’s equal force hit him before the woman lost her balance and fell. He reached out to grab her, which he did while facing very little opposition. She gasped with shock due to her ‘attack’ having no effect, after which she started struggling to free herself, but Kaiden didn’t let her go. He could feel the sharpness of her bones pressing against his legs, and her futile thrashing made her seem even more fragile. Kaiden’s grip tightened, not out of malice but to keep her from spiraling further.
