I WAS LURED TO TURKEY FOR A TEACHING JOB ONLY TO GET THERE AND BE FORCED TO MARRY A HUGE DOG

 I WAS LURED TO TURKEY FOR A TEACHING JOB ONLY TO GET THERE AND BE FORCED TO MARRY A HUGE DOG.


I applied for a job that I found online,I have always been interested in teaching English in a foreign country far from home. I grew up in a broken home so I was always looking for opportunities far from home.

One fateful day I thought my prayers had finally been answered and I was super excited when my application got replied. An interview was ran online and what I believe was the right procedure was followed.

Everything seemed so legit. A few days later I got an email that my application was successful and my plane ticket would be ready in a month's time. They helped get all the right papers to move abroad and everything was operated smoothly and that what made me believe that it was all real.

I got the address of where I'd be staying and I was told I'd be home schooling a group of rich kids from my apartment. I googled the address and everything was legit even the owner of the place was the person I had been communicating with all along.

The salary promised was also very satisfying and I couldn't wait to leave everything that broke me behind and start a new life away from the toxic environment I lived in. More anything I couldn't wait to start earning and sending back money home to my siblings so that they can have a better life than I did.

I was the first child so I have experienced a lot and didn't want that for my siblings at all. The day came and I was ready to fly. I arrived at Johannesburg and took my first flight and at some point we stopped at another airport and took my second flight. Both flights took around 9 to 10 hours to reach my final destination.

When I arrived ,I found my driver waiting. It was evident that I had been hired by a very wealthy family. The car spoke volumes. I received a very weird welcome gift from the driver. It was a plastic bone and a dog leash.

I thought it was just a silly joke and laughed it off. But I noticed how serious,none smiling and cold the driver was towards me. In my head I just thought he is taking his job way too serious so obviously he was being paid well 

In the car I tried making small talks and he didn't bother replying nor look at me or atleast fake a smile. I was sitting at the back of his seat and I could feel the cold shoulder from there. I decided to keep quiet and enjoy the window views of the absolutely amazing surburb.

It was without a doubt the rich people surburb. The houses were huge and beautiful. Upon arrival I was welcomed by a house keeper who led me to my cottage. It was a nice cottage but it had a weird interior.

It was fit for a dog house. I asked the lady and she said they have a dog in the house and it likes it there. I tried to engage more and she went quiet. She bluntly ignored me and left once done with helping me settle.

I expected the boss to come welcome me but three days passed without him coming over and I didn't know what to do with my life there. I was just there being served food and treated like a princess by the house keepers but nothing else for me to do there after.

The place surely had the presence of a pet dog but I had been there for three days and I have never seen it. There were furs of dogs even on the bed but luckily I wasn't allergic to dogs. In fact I loved dogs. On the third night of being there while I was sleeping I felt something sniffing my private part.

I jumped out of bed and ran to switch on the light. There was a huge dog standing next to my bed starring at me. I had never seen a dog that big. It gave me a bored look and then walked away.

I don't know where it disssapeared to but I ran to check if the door was locked and I noticed that it wasn't locked. From there on I couldn't sleep until morning. When the house keeper came to serve me breakfast I asked her about the humongous dog I had seen and she panicked a bit ,she seemed anxious and couldn't wait to leave.

She put my food on the table and went back into the main house. I had my breakfast then went to bath then decided to go to the main house to ask when I would be starting with the work I came over for and to find out about the whereabouts of the person who hired me.

I walked to the main house and before I could even get there, the Gardner told me that I was not allowed into the main house. He told me that if the boss found out that I attempted to go to the main house then I would be in trouble. He seemed anxious so I decided to go back to the cottage.

I was now starting to be uncomfortable and regretting my decision. He had promised a Turkish number he would provide for me so that I can communicate with my friends and colleagues back at home. A week passed and he was still nowhere to be seen.

On the second week, while i was sleeping the sniffing of my private part happend again. This time the heavy dog pressed me down aggressively and forced itself on me. I screamed and yelled for help but no one came through.

In the morning the dog disssapeared once again. I walked to the main house very livid and when I got to the door the person I had been talking to before arriving opened the door before I even knocked. As if he had been expecting me.

He wasn't as friendly as he was on the phone and he definitely gave me the cold shoulder. I angrily explained to him what had happened to me and he told me to get used to it. I couldn't believe my ears. He asked me if I saw any kids who needed home schooling around.

When I said no he then said that dog is the reason you are here and earning good Money. The god is lonely and needs a companion. Without shame he said the dog doesn't find other dogs attractive so it needed a wife and I am the perfect wife.

I was lost for words and I told him that I wasn't going to entertain that ,he should send me back home at once. He laughed and told me to be his guest, pointing at the gate. It was at that very moment that I knew I had been trafficked. I was there to satisfy the sexual desire of a dog.

I was given my tasks on a paper and told to study and understand them. I had to take care of the dog like it was my husband and make sure it is a happy husband to me. The dog was aggressive and unfriendly. I was dragged back to the cottage. I was screaming and Kicking but the guards were too strong.

I know the neighbours heard me screaming because I saw curtain peeps but no one came to rescue me and the police were not called. A month passed and the dog did as it pleased with me almost every night and I had given in because no matter how much I screamed or yelled no one was coming to save me.

A month later I was forced to wear a bride's gown and get married to the dog. I was not well and losing a lot of weight too but no one cared. The dog was gaining a lot of weight compared to when I first saw it. It even looked sick but now it was much much better but I was the sick one.

I would get paid the exact amount I was initially promised before coming over but I didn't need Money for anything because I was always locked inside the cottage like a prisoner. My family got worried because it had now been almost 6 months and they had not heard from me.

They went through my emails and emailed the boss asking about my whereabouts. Apparently they started threatening him when he wasn't replying. I lied to him and told him that if I died in his watch then all his kids would die one by one followed by his wife and everyone close to his heart.

I told him about how it's an African thing and it's a voodoo that no one is immune to. I guess scaring him off worked because within the next three weeks he booked me a flight back home and that's how I made it back alive.

I was immediately taken to the Dr by the airport attendance Because they could see that I wasn't okay at all and it was serious. I was diagnosed with anemia. So each time the dog Slept with me i was losing a lot of blood to it.

I'm just happy to be home and recovering well although I was told I would never be able to carry a foetus to full term. I lost that chance to the dog and it's mean owner. May they know no peace. I tried reporting the case to the police but I was told that I should've opened a case from that side too to make the case move faster.

I gave up on the matter and decided to concentrate on healing.
