Sold to Mr. Arrogant

A new headache

We skipped dinner that day and we came back together which sounded suspicious, to be honest. As I

was resting in my room, I got a phone call from Tony.

" Hey, did you reach something?" I asked.

" It was calculated, the man approached him first according to my friend who works there, everyone

noticed something was weird, you don't get to see a beggar like your father coming in and out of a

high-class club that easily, he was obviously invited in by someone," Tony explained.

" I understand, I will give you 100 bucks instead of 80 so do me another favor."

" Hit me with the request then."

" Can you tell me what is Jack up to these days?" I requested.

" Does that douchebag still stalks you?"

" I have a hunch that I wish to not be true; he is so quiet, unlike his natural self. Thanks in advance,

Tony. I will wire you the money now." I stated before hanging up.

I looked at my bank account that had only 100 bucks left after the money transfer I have made. I do not

go to the underground ring anymore nor did I take any part-time jobs, it is been a while, It is not as if I

even could. I decided to go ask Gerald if he can allow me to move freely in order to go get some

money on my own from a job somewhere.

" Come in," he said.

" Good evening Mr. Gerald, can I talk to you for a moment."

" Sure."

" I would like to work in a friend's club; I need to save some money just in case."

" In case of what?" he asked.

" I don't know, I might need it in the future, I also need to buy some stuff." I lied.

" You can use my debit card for that."

" No, definitely no. I can't take your money." I retorted.

" You won't. You will just borrow money from me until you got paid for the mission you are assigned and

then give it back." He explained.

I nodded my head taking his debit card. This is really getting dangerous and it started to get on my

nerves.

He obviously refused to let me work so that I won't have cash on me if I ever think of running away. He

knows I would totally need that cash. I can't use the VISA recklessly since he will know what I spent

money on in detail. Judging from what Tony has mentioned as well, this kidnapping thing was all

planned.

My head is going to explode, what caught his interest in a killer such as myself? What drove him to

carry out a plot just to get me in here? I will have to know the answer for myself, no normal father would

want his son to marry a nameless murderer over the prime's minister daughter just because she is

earnest and has a similar character to that of his wife.

I decided to study for two hours or three before going to school, it might not seem like it but we are

about to access an exam period. The next day, I woke up early and reached school sooner than usual.

" Hey did you study hard for the pharmacology quiz?" Penny asked.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

" Yes, I am ready to ace it." I laughed.

" I can't tell whether you are joking or not since I have never seen your grades before." He stated.

" You will, soon. Where is Alicia?"

" Uhmm, with her boyfriend I guess."

" She has a boyfriend?" I asked hearing this for the first time.

" Yeah, I have always wanted to know how that feels."

" Why don't you date then?"

" Looking for the right girl, I guess. I think she is quite close though." He said smiling at my face from

ear to ear as if he tried to emphasize that I am an option.

" Sorry, I am taken."

" By studies and such..." he replied to what he speculated I would say.

" Nah, to myself. I like myself and I also date myself." I said brushing my hair off with my hand

arrogantly. We laughed as we spotted Alicia coming from afar wearing sunglasses.

" Ha-ha, she thinks she is in Hawaii." Penny joked.

It was not Hawaii what she came from though, I didn't know that even rich people go through stuff like

that, and by stuff like that; 'abuse' is what I mean. I decided to talk to her privately after college; I

wanted to help a girl that I think of her as not so close but still a friend. Right after the quiz, I got a

sudden call from Tony.

" You need to come to the location I sent you if you do not wish for Jack to die. This man right here is

so furious; he will smack him to death." Tony informed me.

The location was so close; it is right behind the university where a greenwood that extends to several

meters exists. I hurried there; it seems that Tony was trailing Jack when he witnessed his interaction

with whom I believe is Shawn. I could see both of them now, Jack was on the floor with several bruises

on his face trailing throughout his body and he was trying hard to get away from Shawn who was

searching his bag.

I rushed to Jack's rescue trying to get him up as I called the ambulance, he would live but I was worried

he would raise an issue of this beating to the police, he might get himself in deeper trouble that could

poison me as well and I didn't want that.

" 911, there's a man who needs serious hospitalization here, he fell while riding a motorcycle, there are

many scratches and bruises evident on his body and he can't get up," I stated.

Ten minutes is all I have before the ambulance comes here. I had to make sure that Jack does not

spout nonsense to the police and also explain to Shawn who kept staring at my back why I am actually

doing this.
