2024-10-29 19:42:56Nathan looked at bill in front of him and started shivering. He knew that he did not have that amount to foot it but he could not back down and be embarrassed by Alex.
"Fine. Let's order the golden package," he finally said, gulping hard.
"Perfect," Alex said and returned the menu back to the waiter
The meal arrived ten minutes later and immediately it arrived, everyone dugged in.
The meal was so delicious and satisfying that no one paid much attention to Nathan and hence did not notice his distress while eating.
He was the only one that did not enjoy the meal that was being served in front of him.
He loosened his belt and gasped for air as he thought of how he would finally get out of the mess he had put himself in.
His new found girlfriend, Susan noticed his countenance and looked at him sternly.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She whispered.
"I may not be able to pay for this meal," he whispered back to her.
Immediately, Susan looked at him and snorted.
"Well, find out how to sort it out," she said sharply and immediately went back to eating. All she knew was that she was not going to spend a dime of hers in paying for the meal.
She had just gotten that money from the old man she had slept with and she was not about to waste it because of her boyfriend's stupidity.
Alex couldn't help but notice the distress between them and he smiled to himself and continued eating.
Soon, everyone finished eating and the waiter came to clear the table. He returned a few minutes later with the bill.
"Your total bill is $100,000 sir," the man said calmly causing Nathan to choke on his drink.
"What?!" He said in astonishment.
"You are telling me that we just spent a grand?" He asked again.
"Yes sir," the waiter responded.
By this time, Nathan was sweating profusely. He did not have his part to pay and his heart was pounding loudly.
"What's wrong, Nathan?" Alex teased.
"Is the money too much for you?" He asked, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Of course not," Nathan forced a laughter. "I am just worried about you," he said.
"Oh don't worry about me," Alex said and brought out his black card.
"Take $50,000 from there and the rest of the bill will be paid by my very rich friend Nathan here. Isn't that right, Nathan?" Alex teased again with a soft chuckle.
But Nathan's words were stuck in his throat. He could not say a single word.
"Okay, sir," the waiter said as he took the card and scurried off to take care of the bill.
"Are you sure you are okay, Nathan? You look a little flustered," Alex teased him some more.
"I'm fine," Nathan responded and everyone could hear the frustration in his voice.
Soon the waiter returned. "Your side of the bill has been cleared sir." He said to Alex.
"Sir, are you paying through cash or card?" The man asked Nathan.
Finally being on the spotlight with no way to turn, Nathan started shaking.
"Just give me a moment," he finally excused himself and rushed to a corner.
He immediately placed a call across to his father.
"Dad. I need your help. Desperately!" He said immediately the man picked.
"What have you done this time?" The man said, tired of whatever his son had to tell him.
"Well, dad, I need $50,000. I am in a very tough situation and I will be badly embarrassed if I don't pay this money."
"What? Do you know how much you are asking for? I just gave you your monthly allowance of $20,000 last week? Have you blown through that money already?"
"Dad, come on. That money is not even enough to get me out of this."
"I don't care. Now, listen closely to me, young man. I spend a lot of my time and energy working to get paid and I will not allow you to squander it as you deem fit. Now if you can't pay for that, then take it as a lesson to stop spending anyhow. Have a nice day," the man said and hung up.
"Fuck!" Nathan yelled and immediately called Susan.
"Babe, please come meet me. Please," he begged.
Groaning, Susan stood up to go meet him.
"What is it?"
"Babe, please you have to help me. I don't have that money to pay. But I have called my father but he isn't saying anything good. Look I promise you, I will pay you back as soon as I get it. Please."
Susan stood still, regretting her decision. She could not allow him to embarrass her like that. After all, if she did. She would be the one known for dating a man who couldn't foot a restaurant bill.
"Fine, but you owe me. You owe me big," he said and finally sent the money to him.
The duo went back to the table and Nathan hurriedly paid for his side of the bill.
Once the waiter left, Alex's friend asked him
"Alex, how were you able to pay for that?"
"Umm, I won a lottery," Alex said, not ready to tell them what actually happened.
"Are you serious?! Why didn't you tell me? Do you know how worried we were?" Dustin asked.
"Okay, Alex. I really had a good time today. Thank you for the early dinner and I would love to have you on social media."
"Of course," Alex took her phone and sent a friendship request to himself on F******k and immediately accepted it.
"That is wonderful. Now, I look forward to seeing you at my birthday party. Come with your friends, okay?" She said with a smile and left the restaurant.
****
Susan and her friends went into the bathroom to straighten their makeup and Susan wished she had stayed back.
"Did you see Alex? My God, I can't believe he won the lottery." Caroline said..
"I know. He is very handsome and now he has money. He is like every girl's dream man," Jasmine added.
Susan stood in disgust at what her friends were saying. She had just broken up with the guy and now he had money. She could not believe her bad luck.
"It's just lottery money. Trust me, it is going to finish soon and he will go back to being broke," she said out loud. Also trying to comfort herself.
"Let's go," she commanded them before they could say another word.
The trio stood outside, waiting for their Uber when suddenly a drunkard walked up to them.
"Ladies, looking good," he said, slurping his words
"Get away from here," Susan said as the man grabbed hold of her.
"Oh come on now baby. Don't resist me. I promise you, you will love it. Your friends can join too, if they want. The more the merrier," the man said.
This angered the girls and they immediately removed their shoes and started beating the drunkard with it.
Scared for his life, the man ran away.
"Yeah, you better run. You little piss of shit!" Susan yelled, desperate to get her annoyance and anger towards the night out of her system.

Alex walked into the shopping mall that looked elegant and sophisticated. He had two reasons for why he walked into the fancy and elegant shopping mall. One was to get a suit that would make him stand out at Natalie's birthday party and also upgrade his wardrobe at the same time and the second was to upgrade from the little, old and wretched phone he used to a more slicker and better brand. As soon as he got into the building, his eyes collided with some very beautiful suits that he knew would bring out his best features. Smiling, he walked towards the rack and started going through them. The material felt soft and slick.Alex could not help the smile that came across his face. At the counter end, two assistants stood staring at him. Their faces had a puzzled look on it. "Wait, are my eyes playing tricks on me?" One of them asked. "I don't believe it is." The other responded, cleaning her eyes. "Isn't that the guy that delivers things to us?" "Yes he is.""What is he doing goin

Immediately, she was seen by Alex who smiled softly and approached her. "Hey there neighbor," he greeted the woman that had helped him sort out his rent when he did not have any money. "Hello, good afternoon. What's going on here?" She asked immediately. "Oh, they are just moving in some clothes. I hope it did not disturb you?" Alex was beginning to think that she was the kind of girl that never wanted to be disturbed in any way. "No. But forgive me for asking? What's with the clothes? Are you starting an online business or something?" She asked. Alex chuckled. "ah, no I am not. I actually just wanted to upgrade my wardrobe. I needed new set of clothes."

Alex walked slowly into Ivy's room and he took his time to soak in the interior decoration of the room. It had a feminine feel with a touch of royalty. He smiled to himself. Ivy was the type that would really enjoy the good life.His eyes flashed to the table and he immediately noticed the array of dishes that lay there. He turned immediately to look at Ivy. "Oh, I set out a dish. I hope you haven't eaten? I am actually very excited and I would want us to celebrate!" She explained."Of course. But what exactly are we celebrating?" "Please sit," Ivy said as she rounded her center table to sit down. "Now," she begun when Alex was well seated. "The most crazy thing just happened to me," she started. Alex watched with a soft smile on his face as Ivy told him all about the kind man who gifted her a million dollars on her live video. He could tell from her voice that she was more than excited. "He is really very nice," Ivy said while stuffing her face with steak. "And I haven't seen

Susan opened her eyes to sloppy. The first thing she noticed as she tried to move her hands to touch her face was the rope that held her hands together. "What the?" Her voice came out as a whisper as her eyes suddenly opened fully and she saw where she was. Immediately she noticed that she was tied up, she let out a scream waking up her two friends. "What?! Argh!" Jasmine and Caroline screamed when they saw the two men who sat before them, one holding a baton and one holding a knife with a gun laying on his legs. "Where are we?" Caroline asked with a small voice as she looked around her environment. Her hands, feet and body was tied to a stool and the only part of her body that could move were her eyes and her head, giving her enough room to feast her eyes. There were planks of wood scattered around the floor, the entire environment wrecked of alcohol and cheap perfume, bricks were lying around the room and the abandoned place they seem to be in had lots of broken bottles everywh

The gangster sighed heavily. "Okay, the fuck is taking so long with that call?" He asked loudly. "He said he will do it!" Caroline said happily. "Really?! Give me the phone then," the leader said and yanked it from her hand. "Hello," "Yes, hello. How much do you need to release the girls," Alex asked. "$100,000." "Fine. Send your address to me. I will bring the cash." "No, sir," the man chuckled. "I am not sending any address to you. I will send you my details, you will make payments and then I will tell you where you can pick the girls up." "You must think that I'm stupid. What's the guarantee that if I do make payments you will actually allow those girls to leave? Either you send me your address or you can say goodbye to the money." The man weighed the situation. He looked at the girls, he would obviously have a good time with them but he wasn't the type that loved sharing and if he was to do anything with them, he would have to share them with his guys. And on the other

Caroline could feel her body shaking, she could feel her bones trembling. "I don't actually have all day young lady," Alex said, scaring her the more. Just the thought of having to sleep with the same guy she has ridiculed in the past was more than enough for her to bare. She had always told everyone that he was nothing but a piece of trash and now the hands of 'a piece of trash' was going to be touching her. As she took off her top, she could feel a shudder of cold run down her spine. Every fiber in her wanted to run and never look back but she knew that she couldn't. Taking in a deep breath, she removed her trousers. When she realized that she was wearing nothing more than her undies, she tried to cover herself. Alex did not say a word. He just crossed his legs and watched her. But there was something else in his eyes and it wasn't a good look. Caroline reached to unclasp her bra when Alex stood up from the bed. She took a few steps back, thinking that he was coming over to t

Alex chuckled. "Actually, young man, I think you should be the one to lick my shoes." The entire place went mute and then suddenly, they all bursted out in laughter. The gangster was sitted with his friends and they could not hold the laugh that erupted from them. "Did this delivery boy just say that you should lick his shoes?" One of his friends asked. "How can such a disgusting man utter such words?" "I bet you have no idea who you are talking to like that, do you?" The gangster replied. After he saw that Alex was not apologetic, he immediately stopped laughing. He no longer found it funny that a delivery boy could talk to him like that. He thought it was very degrading and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. "Are you trying to humiliate me?" He said. "Do you know that I can send my boys to pound on you right now?!" He shouted and immediately, he boys rounded up Alex, placing him in a circle. Alex did not even flinch. He stood still, with a calm smile on his

Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said.

Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results. We did and you would never believe who is be

"Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know." "Well my face has to be like this because most of her bones have been broken and even though we have not done am x-ray scan on her yet, we are positive that this may just be across her entire body. And you know how long it takes for bone to heal." Alex understood. Ivy would have to go through another set of pains.

Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to

The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa

The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it

Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?"

"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked.

Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
