Chapter 58The agent and his messenger followed Suzy to the reception, and they were well attended to. The agent collects the receipt, saying "you are welcome" and thanking Suzy for coming.Back in the bank manager's office,he continues to make further transactions on Christopher's account."I have also transferred two hundred thousand dollars to the five-star restaurant's bank account. You can ask Suzy for a transaction receipt on your way out, Chris." The manager fondly refers to Christopher as Chris. "Alright, no problem. Thank you for always keeping me happy with your top-notch services."“No need to mention that. We have come a long way together, Chris.” The manager tries to endear Christopher,his seasoned customer, who had quickly risen in status but had also raised the status of the bank with his financial fortune.The two men, Christopher and Mira's father, exchange satisfactory handshakes with the bank manager,who not only exchanges handshakes with gratitude but also rises to
"Ok.kk...ay you.. mean the limo outside?" "Yes, exactly. I mean the limousine outside. How much is it?"."Oh, you mean that? It's just seventy-five billion dollars. Not much, right?" The sales guy adds with a squint and a silly grin on his face."Give me your invoice; my bank manager will pay today. You will send the limo and the receipt to this address tomorrow morning at seven thirty am, unfailingly." Christopher says in a simplistic tone that, pulling out a small piece of paper and his fountain pen from his coat's chest pocket,he writes the address of his new luxury home,his email address, and his phone number on the paper and gives it to the sales guy."Wow, that's a good move, sir. I will send the invoice to your email right away." The sales guy passes the paper to a male receptionist, who together had been looking on and only winking in surprise, as Mr. Gabriel once did again at the mention of the limo and its cost in the course of Christopher's and the sales guy's conversation
The salesman looks straight at the two men and says, "The price for the car is four million dollars, sir."."What!" Mr. Gabriel exclaims. He is confused about why his friend is requesting such an expensive car."But isn't that a bit too much?" Mr. Gabriel asks Christopher.Christopher gives a brief nod to his friend, Mr. Gabriel."We are not here to joke. If you don't have the required funds to pay for the car,please give me a minute to attend to other customers," the car salesman says, his expression and tone signifying that he is not in the mood for any more jokes from the two men."No, don't go anywhere," Christopher tells him, his voice now taking on a more serious and authoritative tone. The salesman recognizes this change of tone and straightens his stance."Alright,are you ready to purchase this car today,sir?" He asks Christopher."Yes,we are here to purchase the car right now.""Do you have the required fund with you right now?" The salesman asks in a tone that betrays a littl
CHAPTER 60 Christopher had organized a mini-party after the success of the proposal. It was amazing the heights he had achieved over the past few months, and he knew there was no stopping. He was engrossed on his phone while the music kept blasting on the speaker until he heard it was time to give a toast. The party was relatively small, and although he had wanted something bigger, the issue of his rivals seemingly discovering this location had kept him at bay. "Let's make a toast!" He mentioned grabbing a bottle of wine. "A toast to the huge success of the proposal." Everyone raised their cups, and while he was about to speak further, he noticed Sam waving in his direction, obviously instructing him about something. He handed the bottle to someone else and walked up to meet Sam, who was at the door. "I just got some information." Sam stated it out loud. "What is it?" He asked. "I think we have got company!" Right before Christopher could comprehend what was happening, the door burst
“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Lawrence asked his gaze in the direction of the food.“Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Mira replied with ease.Lawrence realized that she seemed to have given up, and at this point, a mere killing of Mira would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Mira; he wanted Mira to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Lawrence finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Lawrence was out of sight, Mira realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Lawrence would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Mira believed that death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option when she realized that she had every reason to live. Mira knew that she wasn’t going to die and allowed her abductor to be gratefu
With the knowledge that Christopher would possibly be in the car while the soldiers waited for the flight, Mira knew she needed to find a means to get Christopher out of that place. Her only obstacle was how to get the soldiers out of Christopher.Mira couldn’t stand against any of them; she was small, and they were almost twice her size. Mira realized that there was only one means, and that was creating a diversion, which would most likely attract the attention of the soldiers. She checked around the airport for any possible means to create the diversion when she noticed diesels stacked from afar in one of the stores that were opened. All Mira needed to do was obtain a single keg of diesel. She maneuvered her way out of the building, not allowing anyone to notice her until she came to the store. Mira made sure to check around for anyone who would most likely come, but there was no one in sight, and she quickly pulled one of the diesels and walked out of the store.Mira made her way o
Christopher and Mira were back at the black mustang, when Mr. Walter; Christopher ’s friend called and he picked immediately.“Christopher , I got your message from Levi. What is the problem?” Mr. Walter asked.“I am in danger.” Christopher revealed.“Don’t you worry; ensure your phone is still on. I will have the boys track your location and would ensure that you are back here safely. Just hold on.” Mr. Walter announced.“Dad, I am in Lawrence ’s danger….” Christopher indicated, but it was too late as his friend had already hanged up.While Christopher and Mira waited for the entourage to arrive, a knock came through Christopher ’s car window and when he turned around, he realized the person to be one of Lawrence ’s men with a gun in his hand.“Step out of the car now!” The soldier yelled and both Mira and Christopher had their hands up in their head. “No matter what happen, don’t open the door.” Christopher instructed Mira, before stepping out of the car.“You really think we
The man standing before Mira was Henry . Mira turned to face Christopher , who gave her a nod and she mouthed a thank you and turned to face her father once again. She didn’t bother listening to what the priest had to say, all she was concerned about was hugging her father. However she knew better than to keep her emotions in check. She didn’t want anyone from the audience suspecting a thing about them. After the blessing of the marriage, Christopher decided to give Henry and his daughter a private moment amongst themselves. He didn’t want to interfere in the father-daughter meet up, after a very long time of being distanced together. Christopher closed the door behind him and went to greet the guests that had come for his wedding. Meanwhile, with tears filled on her face, Mira rushed up to her father and embraced him in a warm hug. Henry couldn’t contain his emotion as well, as he held on to his daughter tightly. He had thought that at some point, he was going to die. When Christop
