Chapter 122: We have a deal, so what?
The door bell rang and I rolled my eyes. I wasn’t expecting anyone and the men knew it. Even if it might be important, I just can’t get my mind off my problems and my mother’s safety.
“I will save you mom” I said to myself and I meant it.
I sat down on the couch with my legs on the edge of the couch. I had my phone in one hand and a glass of whiskey on the other hand.
I sighed at how my days have been. It was taking so much effort and energy from me and I haven’t been able to get a refill of that energy back.
“Boss,” Brad called and I looked in his direction. He bowed his head casually and then stood upright. “You have a guest.”
“Who is the guest?” I asked, quite aware that I already cleared my schedule. A part of me felt it was Gladys and I already felt irritated.
“The woman with the deal,” he blurted.
“Send her in,” I responded.
He gave a nod and walked away. I dropped the glass on the table and waited for her.
Selena walked in with so much pulse. “Sir,” she called as she walked toward me. “I found someone, Sir. I found a good match.”
I frowned at her and then took a sip from the glass already lowered. “Did you not check your mail?” I asked.
I had my own reasons for sending a mail and here she was asking me
She paused and then brushed it off. “Who still checks paper mail in this generation?”
I turned to look at her. “Your son would, in my care.”
Her jaw dropped at that instance. “No please- my son.. He.. He has to settle loans for him to be okay.. Please no.”
She was sobbing and I couldn’t figure out what exactly she was trying to depict.
“We’ve got loans to pay,” she blurted. “The student loans… The house loans and a bunch of bills to pay. It’s so exhausting how we don’t have much and can barely fend for ourselves.”
I raised my brow at her and a furrow appeared between my eyebrows. I could feel the disgust well inside of me, primarily because I wasn’t expecting this from her.
“I gave you Ten thousand pounds,” he said. “What did you do with that? How did that get exhausted?”
She looked at me and swallowed the lump in her throat.
“I got a bed space for my sons. I used from the money to settle some debts. They came searching for us so I had to pay them with all that I could. I used the rest to startup something for myself but at this point, it’s not yielding anything so i’m just here doing-
“Listen to me,” I said and she stopped talking. She looked in my direction with so much focus and swallow hard.
“If you’re in such dire need of money, then sell one of your kidney. It will give you as much money as you need.”
She shook her head in both disbelief and disapproval. “No.. Please.. I can’t do that. Please don’t subject me to such an option. Give me something else. Give me another option.”
I raised my brows. “Really?” I scoffed. “Give me your youngest son and I’ll pay twenty thousand pounds.”
She looked at me unbelievably and I could see fear welling in her eyes as she attempted to respond. “You’re such an heartless man, ain’t you?”
I scoffed.
“You are heartless,” she said again shaking hear head in disbelief.
“Leave.”
She reached for her bag on the table and clutched it tightly as she walked toward the door. She left and I sighed.
I wasn’t sure what exactly I was sighing for cause I didn’t feel any relief. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I checked the caller ID.
I picked up the call and placed the phone on my ear.
“What?” I asked.
“You know why i’m calling,” Gladys blurted.
“Now listen. Go and get Tiffany yourself or you wait to I want to. The ball is in your court.”
I couldn’t gave her pressuring me at a time like this. I didn’t need the kind of stress she was making me feel.
“But Mass-”
“I already told you. The decision is yours to make.” My voice was stern and she could tell that I was being very serious with the condition.
“With Tiffany, Luciano can love you. Isn’t that what you -”
“Tell me,” I said interrupting her. “Do you miss his dick?”
“You are alive because of me!!” She yelled loudly that I had to shift the phone from my ear a little.
“It’s because of your father.”
“What the hell do you mean?” She asked but I just rolled my eyes and tried to calm down.
There was no point getting into a heated argument over the phone.
“This is not my problem Gladys. I will do whatever I want when I want it. Besides, I didn’t ask for the heart in the first place.” I paused and took a deep breath.
“So what are you trying to say?” She asked over the phone. I knew that tone because it was how she sounded whenever she wanted to make a bad decision.
I couldn’t let her do anything stupid so I thought of a better way to convince her.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“At this point, you and I want the same thing. To hurt Tiff right? Now, I need you to understand that I’ll do whatever we have to do to her when I want. That’s the only condition I have. Is it that difficult?”
“No but- I just want to make sure you’ll do it and not change your mind. If you’re going to change your mind then it’s better you tell me now so I can figure out another-”
“Shhh,” I said trying to silence her. “I’m not going to change my mind. I’ll do whatever I want to do when I want.”
With that I ended the call and tossed the phone away. She sounded convinced and didn’t want to spend any more time having an argument.
I scoffed and turned away.
We have a deal, so what?
