The phone slipped down from Michael’s hand. “I can explain. Just please, let me. Please, calm down.”The face of Dinah was hard. She picked the phone of Michael from the floor and saw the money Mrs. Jones sent.“Five hundred million dollars?” Dinah raised her head. “You lied to me?”“Listen first. I want to surprise you with a car. Don’t misunderstand me.”Dinah let out a heavy sigh before dropping the jug and changed her clothes while Michael sat on the bed, regretting. He shouldn’t have called Natasha.After Dinah dressed, she looked at Michael, saying, “let’s go.”“Where?”“To buy a car, of course. You said you wanted to surprise me with a car. I want to follow you.”“It would no longer be a surprise if you follow me.”“Don’t worry about me. Every gift always surprises me. Or should I compel you with this jug?”“Oh! No, no. Let’s go,” Michael said, and Dinah followed him out.They take a taxicab to a car company. Entering the company, they glanced at the luxurious cars. Dinah notic
Michael kowtowed before Chief Dylan, asking for forgiveness. “It would be fine if you paid me twenty billions dollars,” Chief Dylan said frankly. Michael exchanged glances with Dinah in shock. Where would they get this money? The money which Mrs. Jones sent them can’t even help them. Dinah quickly kowtowed beside her husband, asking for a mercy from Chief Dylan. “Do you know how much I bought this car? It’s fifty-seven billions dollars. Your husband had stained my car with his nylon car. Everyone knows me. I don’t look for trouble. You furry me. But still yet, I don’t want to react. Give me twenty billions dollars now.” Michael burst into tears. “If at all you want to punish me, please don’t touch my wife. I’m a poor man. Can’t even afford to pay one million, not to talk of twenty billions dollars.” Chief Dylan took out a cigarette, puffing on it. Five gangsters came down from his car, and bind Michael with robe, then carried him into the car while Dinah was crying profusely for h
A noise filled the mansion of Chief Dylan for hours. It was happening in what they called a Hell room. Of course, it was the cry of Michael at the moment Chief Dylan was tormenting him.“Please!!! Forgive me. Give me a chance, I will pay my debt,” Michael yearned.Chief Dylan has commanded his gangsters to tie the hands of Michael to a ceiling fan. Chief Dylan then commanded two gangsters to be flogging him while the ceiling fan was rolling him. The sharp canes had torn Michael into pieces. Blood filled his body.“Terror!!! My neck!!! Please!!! I’m dying!!!”Chief Dylan motioned a gangster to switch off the fan and then told the other two gangsters to stop flogging Michael.Michael’s heart beat faster. The ropes entangled on his hand to the fan were sending some pain into his body. But he endures the pain because he can.Puffing on his cigarette, Chief Dylan said, “your life is a joke. You have not died yet, but you yelled lies. How many people do you know? I’ve been waiting for someon
Dinah called Rosalie via phone and explained what happened to Michael. In an instant, Rosalie felt uneasy at work. She requested for a permission to leave work early from Manager Angela, and her permission was granted. Dashing into her car, Rosalie rolled up the window while Chloe came closer and asking her where she was going. Rosalie didn’t answer. This is not the right time to answer. She slowed the car out of the company and then speed up the moment she was on the street. Chloe quickly called Dallas. “Rosalie just left now. I don’t know where she’s heading to,” Chloe said. Her voice sounds like a scared kid. “Why don’t you ask her?” Dallas asked. “She doesn’t reply to me when I asked her.” “Okay. Thanks for informing me. Will call her now.” “Okay, sir,” Chloe said and hang up the call. *** Rosalie picked the call on the first ring. “Where are you?” Dallas’s voice came sharply. “Driving to Chief Dylan’s house,” Rosalie said. “To do what?” Rosalie narrated what her mothe
Michael had ready collapsed on the floor in the mansion of Chief Dylan. But Chief Dylan was still watching Craig and Kingsley flogging themselves.“I’m enjoying this. I could watch this whole day without getting tired. Why did you stop?” Chief Dylan asked Craig, who was flogging Kingsley.Craig dropped the cane and knelt before Chief Dylan, saying, “please have mercy on us. We have already learnt our lesson. The man we came to deliver from the pain had already collapsed on the floor. Please, let us go. I beg you.” He tapped on Kingsley. “Kingsley, stand up. We need to beg him.”Chief Dylan laughed. “So you think you can come into my house and go out scoot free? It’s not done that way. Or lemme just say, I can let you guys go out, but not alive. You won’t go out alive. But if you guys still want my guard to carry your corps to the mortuary, then you can take some steps out of his room.”Craig took the cane again from the floor, and started flogging Kingsley, who lay down tired. In fact
Dallas met Rosalie at the hospital. Rosalie was restless and paid no attention to Dallas because Doctor Trey said Michael hadn’t woken up yet.“Everything would be fine. Don’t cause yourself a hypertension,” Dallas said to Rosalie.“Leave me alone. Just go back home,” Rosalie said.“Den told me to stay with your father.”“Den? Where did you see Den?”“He stopped me from going to the house of Chief Dylan. Didn’t Craig and Kingsley told you Den saved them?”“Craig told me he saved my father. Den didn’t save my father because Craig was the one who drove my father to this hospital.”Dallas let out a heavy sigh. “He lied.”“Okay, okay, just go home.”“Den would punish me if I disobey him.”“Okay, but let me rest. Leave me alone for a while,” Rosalie said, and sat on the floor, leaning her back against the wall.Dallas didn’t sleep throughout the night, just because Rosalie couldn’t sleep. She wants to, but she was unable to. She feared that her father might die. Even when Dinah came to the
At the mansion of Chief Lucas, Craig and Kingsley knelt before him with blood dripping from their faces. Chief Lucas wanted them to confess that they killed his friends, but they keep saying they know nothing about it. They said Den killed Chief Dylan.“One of you must be the Den,” Chief Lucas said. “Stop pretending to me.”“None of us was Den,” Craig said. “Den also rescues us from Chief Dylan because we can’t save ourselves.”“Why don’t you tell Den not to rescue you? He killed my friend because of you?”“No. He came to rescue only Michael,” Kingsley said.“Who’s Michael?” Chief Lucas asked.“Michael Jones. He was Rosalie’s father.”“Who the fuck was Rosalie?”“The girl that saved Den from the furnace in their childhood.”Chief Lucas was interested in knowing more about Den. He just came to New York from the Argentina. The security man of Chief Dylan had told him who Chief Dylan locked into the hell room. The security man can’t dare to mention Den’s name. He only mentioned Craig’s a
On Saturday, Rosalie called Helen and asked her where they should meet today. Helen said they should have their lunch at Mr. Bigg restaurant.Rosalie then told Chloe where she was going and take a taxicab to the Mr. Bigg restaurant after Dallas went to the market. Helen gave Rosalie a warmly hug the moment Rosalie gets out of the taxicab.“What happened to your car?” Helen asked.“Dallas drove it to the market,” Rosalie said. “Where’s yours?”“At home.”“Why?”“Nothing.” Helen smiled.During the moment they were eating, Helen remembers why they came here. Rosalie wanted to ask her about something.“What do you want to ask me?” Helen asked.Rosalie drinks a glass of water, and put a smile on her face.“I don’t know how to ask. Don’t know how you would react. I don’t want to fail,” Rosalie said.“Just say it. Come on, dear.”“I’m just curious about your brother. Den. I would be so grateful if you tell me who he was. But I’m not sure you would tell me.”“You already know my answer before
