Billionaire leveling up

Consequences

“Oh c'mon man” Ajax said. “Are you feeling envious?” he drawled as he squinted his eyes away from the sun.

It was already morning. The sun had come up.

His statement seemed to have angered the guy as he squeezed his hands tightly around his the collar of Ajax shirt.

“cal… calm do… down,” Ajax choked, “I Ca…n't bre…ath.”

The guy was truly strong. Ajax could not breath, he was struggling for air. If this guy continued with this, he would pass out.

His vision was already starting to get dotted as he heard the guy’s voice coming from a far distance. He could hardly make out the words the guy was saying.

He decided to do the one thing he would never do on even his enemy. This was necessary. He looked down to the guys trousers zipper.

In one swift motion, with every strength he could muster, he lifted his knees and hit him where the light doesn't shine.

That action made the hold on his neck to disappear. Ajax fell into a fit of cough while he took deep breaths to fill his lungs.

As soon as he was okay, he glanced at the guy. The guy was on the floor, knees to his cheeks as he doubled up grunting in pain.

“I am so sorry man, I needed to get breath, you were choking me” Ajax said softly.

“I am going to kill you!” the guy grunted out in pain.

Ajax smiled at him. “No you can’t, you’re the one on the floor, I am the one that is walking away” Ajax said smirking at him.

He arranged his collar and was about to walk back into the party when he saw the guy trying to stand up with his side eyes.

Shit!

He knew even though he got into the party, the guy would still follow him. The anger and glint in his eyes was enough for Ajax to see and understand.

He ran into the room looking around in a frenzy. He saw two huge and stout guys standing at a corner and drinking. He rushed towards them.

“How about earning a quick $20,000 each” he said in a rush, eyes glancing to the exit and back to them.

He did not see the men laugh at his words.

He sighted the guy coming in. His eyes swept the room around in search of Ajax

“I need you guys to protect me from that guy.” Ajax said in a frenzy.

“You, offer us $20000, funny. Payment first” one of the guys said folding his arms as he stared at Ajax with an amused scowl.

“Sure, sure”

As soon as Ajax had sent their money, he looked up to search for the guy after his life.

There he was, downing a cup of bourbon. He turned to look at Ajax and they locked eyes.

“There he is” Ajax whispered to his newly acquired guards. Guards who were pleased to work for him. They were beyond happy to receive the money and work.

As soon as the guy started walking towards him, the ‘guards’ went after him and pulled him outside.

WARNING! YOU ARE YET TO SPEND UP TO HALF OF THE MONEY AJAX. YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

The party was still in full force. Few people had fallen asleep or sprawled across the floor, but more than the few were still up drinking, dancing, and chatting.

He sighted Caroline at a distance, she was amongst her friends talking, laughing and drinking. He walked towards them.

“Can I borrow Caroline for a second” he said grinning at them.

“Ajax!” Caroline squealed. She threw her arms around him. “You are the best!”

Okay, yup, you have had more than enough to drink.

Her breath smelled of alcohol. She was wasted. She could not even stand or walk on her own. He lifted her up in bridal style and walked to her room. He dropped her on her bed and tucked her in.

“Happy birthday, Care.” He said “I gotta go home, my grandpa would be looking for me. Sleep tight” he placed a kiss on her head.

He watched as she closed her eyes, long eyelashes resting on her rosy cheeks. As he turned to leave, she held him back.

“Please Ajax, stay”

She had this puppy innocent look on her face. He knew he could not say no even though he had to go out and spend money.

He sighed. “Alright” he muttered as he climbed in. He could just stay till she fell asleep then he would be gone.

As soon as he laid down, Caroline snuggled into his chest. He held her while waiting for her to fall asleep.

***

The scent of bacon wafted into his nose tickling him. He lifted up his hands and squeezed his nose.

Where was he? Heaven? Because wherever he was laying on felt very soft. Softer than his own bed.

Bed!

He flipped his eyes open as his eyes glanced around the unfamiliar place. He was used to waking up to the poster of Chris Brown on either sides of his room. This place was covered in bright colors and glitters.

As his sight came in to focus, he realized he was in Caroline's room.

How did I get here?

Memories of the night came flooding in.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

He was supposed to be out spending money. He could not imagine himself losing his grandpa or Caroline ot anyother thing precious to him.

“Oh, you are up?” Caroline said as she walked in. She stopped at the door without entering.

“What's the time? How long have I been out?” Ajax asked, his heart beating against his chest.

“Two days” Caroline muttered.

“Holy shit!” Ajax exclaimed as it dawned on him he was screwed.

“Just kidding, it’s few minutes past 9pm. You've been out for, wow, more than 12 hours.”

Ajax sighed deeply in relief. He had few hours left.

“ Last night must have really had a toll_” she paused as she saw him pull his shoes to wear. “what's going on?”

“I got to go, my grandpa would be really worrie_”

The sound of his phone ringing drew his attention. He rushed to take it but Caroline beat him to it.

“Don't worry Ajax, I answered, I told him you were staying over at my place. Everything is fine.” She said as she placed the phone in her pocket. She walked slowly towards him biting her lips while staring at him seductively.

He took a step back till he hit the bed and fell back in to it.

“I'm preparing dinner, just wait a little and have it with me.” She whispered in his ears.

“No Caroline. You don't understand. I got to go. He is in danger. Not just him. Many things are. At least I think so. I need to finish something.” He said as he pulled away from her. He grabbed his shoes and his coat from the table.

She stood up and walked to the door. “I'm sorry, Ajax. You are stuck with me. I told you everything was fine.” She slurred as she walked out and shut the door.

“Caroline!” he yelled as he rushed to get the door open.

“Just a few minutes Ajax, dinner would be ready” she yelled from over the door. He heard some shuffling and then a loud music blasted through her speakers.

He sighed to himself. Things were not going how he planned.

About thirty minutes later, Caroline opened the door holding a tray of food smiling.

He was right in front of the door when she opened it. With a scowl on his face, he pulled his phone out of her pocket angrily, causing the test he carrying to fall.

He glared at her for a while and left, leaving Caroline dumbfounded and confused as ever.

THREE HOURS LEFT. DON'T FORGET THE CONSEQUENCES.

“I know alright!” he screamed.

His sudden scream caused passersby to look at him weirdly. He noticed this and whispered a sorry.

As he kept walking, he sighted a man fishing out things from a dumpster and eating.

He felt bad for him and walked up to him and offered to get him proper dinner.

The man hesitated for a while.

“No one has ever offered that to me, are you really sure you want this?” the man asked him.

Ajax nodded at him. “But first of all, we have to get rid of you clothes”

The man hugged him in joy.

He took him to a huge store.

“Listen. You have to pick whatever you want, clothes, food, accessories. Whatever you need and want, I will foot the bill”

“If this is a dream, I never wanna wake up from it” the man muttered and rushed in to pick items.

Ajax understood how the man felt because that was just how he felt when he got the money.

An hour later, the man returned to the counter with giant shopping carts, all filled to the brim.

“$256,820” the lady at the counter said.

Ajax paid for all of them with a smile. The man fell on his knees crying at Ajax feet.

“I know you are an angel sent by God to help me. I promise to be good and join you in heaven when the time comes”

Ajax laughed. “No mate, I'm human.”

Ajax finally transferred over $200,000 to the man to take care of himself, get himself a place to live and enjoy life.

Ajax had less than $500,000 left. He had no idea how to spend it.

He decided to transfer some to Caroline and his grandpa.

As soon as he transferred $200,000 to Caroline, his battery went flat. He had no where to charge it.

He ran around like a mad man searching for a means he could transfer the money. As soon as he was able to turn his phone on, the voice he dreaded so much came up in his head.

TIME UP AJAX. QUEST FAILED. MISSION UNACCOMPLISHED. GET READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES.

Fuck!

He screamed internally. Just then, his phone rang.

He picked it up and slowly raised it to his ears, Dreading whatever news was coming.

“Is this Ajax Ronald?” the unfamiliar voice said through the phone.

“Yes”

“Your grandfather, Mr Vaughn Ronald has been arrested and is being detained in police custody.”
