…" So, that was how it happened!" Jack managed to explain the ordeals of the kidnapping while she frowned slightly." But please, can you let my brother go? I would make him promise that he would never try to do that again! I didn't know that he could do something like that to someone ordinary like you" she said softly while he frowned.Someone ordinary? That was what she saw him as? Mira was so unpredictable!" You really think I am someone ordinary?" He asked as they walked more deeper into the bushes. Naive Mira did not think so much about what he said and nodded. " Listen, I am not disputing the fact that you are an ordinary man. I still like you as my friend. So, you should not be scared that I will leave you one day! Even if I get married, you would still be my very closest friend!"Get married? How can I lose you to another man? How can you tell me this to my face? It hurts!" Really? I am happy about that . Thank you but what if I am not ordinary? What would be your reaction?
" What did you just say?" Sarah, his wife asked while he brought out his phone, scrolling through a list of contacts until he saw Jack. Apparently, he just realised that the same man he used to look down upon in the past turned out to be the same man that had called him. The same man turned out to be a rich man. At first, he did not believe what the nurses had told him when he had come earlier and had dropped a large sum of money in the past. Hoping that he would surely come back after a while, seeming like he could not desert his mother like that, he had waited for that opportunity until when he had almost given up only for him to realise that he called today. " Can you see the contact? He called me today! I still can't believe this because it is really so overwhelming!" He said, his face suddenly lit up while his wife could not withstand her shock as she kept on staring at the phone. " You should have asked for a lot of money! we need money in this family! Are you okay with this
" What do you mean by that?" She asked in bewilderment. Since when did they start to care about her? Ever since the rumours started to resurface in the family, they cared less about her and now, they suddenly want her to get married? Is that their way of trying to chase her away because she did not have anywhere to go?" Yeah! It's for your own good! You are not getting any younger and that is why we have decided to choose a husband for you! At least, you should be happy about it!" Be happy about what? That she was getting married to someone she did not know?" What?"" You don't seem happy, darling?"" Happy about the sudden news? I don't understand what is going on?"" Your friend is getting married and I see that you are happy for her. We should also make you happy by getting married soon!"" Mother... I am in love and.."" Darling, no! You don't have to bother about that, okay? Trust me, if you do what we ask you to do, then, we are good to go!" Her mother said in the most softes
" Oh? Grandfather!' Sarah said and looked at her husband before she smiled a little. What was this old man doing here and how did they not know that someone was out there? How much had this man heard? She thought while the man cleared his throat as he walked deeper into the room while a guard stood at the entrance. " I asked who is getting married? You really think that I don't deserve to know that?" he asked again as he looked at his granddaughter who was shedding so much tears. " Should we tell father?" Her husband asked while she shook her head. That man despised them and they would have the money. How on earth could he then tell his father?" No! That man doesn't deserve to know anything!' She whispered" But he's got a lot of connections! He can also make it easier for us. What do you think?'" What I think? I think that he should not know! He's worthless after all!' She said, wondering how her husband suddenly softened his heart, knowing how much he hated his father. " Fath
"Idiot! You destroyed our plans;" Sarah said angrily and kept on twisting her ears while Ashley stared into space. He could not believe that his brilliant idea was going to a waste. That meant that he needed to restrategize. " Darling, how about we sit down and talk about this?" He said again." What's there to talk about? After this girl has destroyed all our plans to become wealthy?" " How about how I call him and tell him I need to see him? " Releasing her ear, she walked towards her husband." Didn't you tell me how you had treated him back then? Do you think that he would give you a listening ear? And besides, I don't think he would want to come around if not because of that patient?"" We could just give it a trial. At least, that way, we can outsmart grandfather who thinks about money every time and would not give us a dime!" He said again while she nodded." So, what do you think will happen now?"" I would like to prepare a contract before hand. There will be a part in th
" Good morning, sir" Ashley said as soon as he caught sight of Jack who had entered the cafe, as usual, dressed so cheaply that it seemed so hard to recognise him. " Good morning, you sounded so urgent last night. I hope everything is fine?" He asked. " Sir, I would like to ask for a financial assistance. I understand that I have offended you in the past with the way I have treated you but can you please give me a chance? My business is at the verge of crashing and if it crashes, there's nothing I and my family will fall back into and.."" Are you not a doctor? What business are you talking about?"" Oh?" He said and laughed, " I own the hospital!" He said and smiled while Jack nodded, suddenly remembering how they used to treat him back then. Instantly, he felt so angry but decided to keep his calm. " That's good. So, you mean to tell me that the hospital is going bankrupt?"" Please sir, I know that you are a good investor. If you decide to invest in my business, knowing the fact
What do you take me for? An idiot?" Jack asked him coldly while he gritted his teeth, not believing that he would seem that intelligent. " I'm sorry, sir. I was only desperate. I did not mean to do that. " He pleaded, feeling so scared with the look on his face which was so deadly. " You will definitely pay for what you just did!" He said and stood up and was about to leave when Ashley held his hands. " Please, let me explain myself. I would not in any way want to do that to you deliberately. I was only in a tight position and just wanted to use the opportunity to let my father know that not everyone is to be looked down upon" He said again while Jack looked at him, wondering what he was talking about." The last time I checked, did you not do that to me?"" It's a different case entirely and besides, I am really sorry for what I had done to you. I'd really appreciate it if you give me a chance to explain myself" He said again while Jack looked at him again. He had a look of sinc
Hoping that he would not see him, Jack walked away instead of flagging down a cab which would cause him to suspect he knew of his conversation. Suddenly, his phone beeped. Bringing it out, he was not surprised to see a credit alert on his phone. Congratulations, you have just been credited the sum of 900 billion dollars. Revenue for the month. He sighed. Money like this did not even entice him again unlike before. Just then, he tilted his head. He should probably get a gift from Mira? This time, he would muster the courage and let her know that he was man enough to tell her about his feelings for her. It was eating him up that she still considered him as a friend! Fortunately for him, he was right in front of a store that sold teddies. " Would she love one?" He muttered as he walked right inside the teddy shop. Fortunately for him, what could have turned to an embrassment for him was not there as all of the attendants were right on the counter. All the customers needed to do
