"Are you telling me to keep my mouth shut? How dare you?" Huge moved closer to him as if he would swallow him whole.Patrick's mind was restless in this moment. Whatever was driving his gut seemed determined to drive him to the grave.His eyes were shaking as the man got closer. Mr. Huge's men were standing so close too.Their duty is to protect their boss no matter what, and also deal with anyone who disrespects their boss in any form.One of the men raised his hand, almost slapping Patrick in the face, until he felt a grip on his hand.The grip was from Mr. Huge, he didn't expect it. 'Why are you taking it lightly with these people, boss?' The guy was so pained inside.If the slap were to land on Patrick's face, he would spend 7 days in the hospital without recovering from it.The force with which the slap was coming had the highest speed on earth."You don't need to slap him. There's something behind his gut." Huge dropped the guy's hand."Isn't there?" Huge tilted his head at Patr
Diana's curiosity had run wild now. Since Huge and the rest had gone to the car garage, she had been unable to peek at what was happening."Holy shit!" she cursed aloud.She wanted everything to happen right in front of her. She just wished her family could get out of the mess. The problem had been with them for a while now, and if it could be solved today, it would be a great relief for everyone.She moved briskly back to the table where she had dropped her phone. She gazed at the screen, but she hadn't received any reply from William."What exactly is going on? Why isn't he picking up? Why isn't he replying to my text? I hope nothing bad happened to him."She began to feel fear and worry in her heart. She was damn afraid that Huge and his boys might harm her family. Now the fear had doubled because she didn't know why her lover was not answering his phone."Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe he might be driving or he might be... I don't even know!" She slammed her thigh with her left
'Oh, what a wonderful suggestion!' Granny commented ironically in her mind.She had been so curious about the kind of suggestion Huge would give them. But without being told, they should have known that the suggestion would only be in his own favor.Huge doesn't really have any blame. If the family had paid his money, he wouldn't have been helping them with any further suggestion.The two cars Huge pointed at were the only source of pride remaining for the family. The first car was a Range Rover that belongs to Granny. They had another BMW 520 which both Alfred and Tony use to run errands for the company.They should have sold the cars and used the money for their celebration, but that doesn't seem nice to them.Again, they should have thought of selling the cars to pay Mr. Huge since the first time he came threatening them, but wouldn't their villa look so empty without cars?How would such a big villa have no cars in it? It's not good enough for the family.If they actually sell the
"Can we request a favor from you, sir," Alfred asked politely."A favor? Okay, I'm all ears."Alfred took a two-second pause before making his request, "I want you to give us the grace to find a new buyer for the car. We promise to forward the remaining balance we owe you immediately it's sold."The family all wore the same facial expression. They all agreed to Alfred's request. At least if they find a better buyer for it, it will be more helpful to them.Huge, who was glaring at Alfred, suddenly scoffed and uttered, "What do you think I came here to do? To play around with your family?" Huge was shaking his head in irritation as he continued."I'm sure you can't deny that I didn't give you enough time to make my money available before today. I've waited enough so I don't have any extra time left for such." Huge declared."Have mercy on us, Mr. Huge." Elena was the one pleading."I just know how wicked you are!" He was pointing at the whole family. Huge was already at the verge of rag
Victoria began to explain, "The BMW 520 was first manufactured in the year 1972. Some years later, it grew up to being a reliable and recommendable car. With that, there was an increased in the demand, which led to an increment in the price. At that time, it cost $5.7 million. However, the current price is $8 million.""I guess you know what it's worth to me." Huge tossed at them while the family were all staring at him with their eyes screaming for help.Alfred moved closer to her family members and whispered, "If Mr. Huge should take this car for $4 million. That means we still have $4 million to balance. Don't you think that this man had just robbed us right in front of our faces?"They all exchanged glances and felt Alfred made a point."But there's nothing we can do in this situation. We can only be saved from this if we had never gone to Huge to take a loan or if we had paid off his money before his arrival here today." Granny was explaining."Does that mean we will just fold ou
Diana, whose heart was still filled with trouble and confusion, didn't stop dialing William's number over and over.After she had tried several times and it was to no avail, she quickly thought about reaching him through his social media account.Reaching him through the phone line was expected to be faster than through the social media account, but this time, what really mattered was reaching William. Whatever means she used to reach him didn't matter.She got to the message box and typed out:"HEY BABY, ARE YOU OKAY? I'VE TRIED YOUR LINE SEVERAL TIMES BUT YOU'RE NOT PICKING UP. I TEXTED YOUR LINE TOO BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY REPLY. I TRIED SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY SLEEPING, BUT THIS IS OFFICE HOURS. I ASSUMED THAT YOU MIGHT BE ON THE ROAD DRIVING TOO. WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE, KINDLY CALL ME IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE MY HEART IS SO TROUBLED AND I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU. I LOVE YOU, BABY."She clicked on the send button and the message flew.
Granny glanced at her children and couldn't find a single ounce of hope on their faces. They all looked weary and tired of living.Mr. Huge was still around with his men, waiting for the remaining $3 million.'Why can't Huge just spare the $3 million? After all, he has made more than enough money from the cars he took,' Granny thought.But to Mr. Huge, they had already made an agreement and it must be fulfilled. It should have been easy for him to take his eyes off the balance, but his company only runs a business, they don't run a charity."Will you be pleased if I take action myself?" Mr. Huge frowned. The Wendy family's hesitation had been so irritating since he arrived. He expected them to improve, but they just kept growing more annoying."Pardon us for whatever mess we have caused you today." Granny pleaded, "I will be back in a few minutes." She turned to leave."I don't have the whole day." Huge's facial expression didn't change.Mrs. Elena squinted her eyes in confusion. 'Whe
The next day, Jessica was seen at Isaac Gregg's office. They had been in conversation for a while before Isaac raised a matter."How do you think we can make our next VVIP customer's dinner party more lovely this time?"Jessica remained silent; it was obvious she was trying to think of something helpful to say."Actually, all the previous ones we did were absolutely beautiful, but I just want this one to be even better than usual. As you know, The Cicada hotel today is bigger than it was yesterday." Isaac had a little smile on his face as he ended the statement.The annual VVIP dinner party is just around the corner, and Isaac has already begun making the necessary arrangements. Jessica has been one of his favorite staff members because she has helped the hotel grow bigger with her warm approach towards every customer.With her pleasant attitude, they usually attract 10 to 15 VVIP customers weekly. That's indeed a big win for Cicada hotel.As a result, their monthly revenue keeps swel
