“I think last night wasn’t enough for you.”
I pushed him fiercely after ignoring his statements and yelling, “Let me go, you bastard!”
Paul grabbed my hair and was about to slap me, but Pom opened the door. Pom gave us a nervous look.
She said after gazing down, “Sir, your friend is waiting for you.”
Paul shoved me out of the room and walked away. But before shoving me, he murmured while grabbing my arms, “I will see you later, Elena.”
Pom approached me and helped me stand up after he had left.
“Ma’am, are you all right?”
“I am sorry, ma’am. I could not help you last night when I found out; it was too late.”
‘I don’t want to recall anything, and I don’t want to keep it in my mind.’
“Pom, give me a contraceptive pill,” I said instantly. It was obvious that I did not want to make any mistakes. Pom said nothing but stared at me.
*****
Mr. Robert and Anne came to meet him again because Mr. Obin had not shown up the day before.
Anne stated, “Be normal, babe. He’ll be of use to us.”
“I hope so,” Robert sighed.
A muscular man entered the room after a short while. Robert stood up and tried to greet him, saying, “Hello, Mr. Obin, I am Ro-,” but Obin interrupted him abruptly.
“Yeah, I know Mr. Robert D’Souza. You don’t have to remind me. We are business executives, and we must know everything, even if we don’t want to.” With a smile, Obin remarked to him. His remarks were a touch obnoxious.
Robert flashed a massive smile. Anne attempted to normalize the situation by responding to Obin, “Mr. Obin, kindly accept my apologies; my husband was quite thrilled to meet you. That is why he spoke in such a manner.”
“It’s okay, Mrs. Anne. We also know who you are and what your background is,” Obin remarked, laughing loudly and sarcastically. Anne gave a stumbling smile.
‘You filthy scumbag! I’d show you my true colors if you weren’t the Mafia King.’ Anne thought to herself.
“OK, let’s get to the point,” Obin stated emphatically.
“Mr. Obin, I believe you are already aware of my business. It’s losing money. I’d like to take out a loan from you. I assure you, I will return the money with interest,” Robert stated.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Mr. Obin questioned, “Are you sure you can do it, Mr. Robert?”
Robert’s eyes glistened as he spoke. “Yes, I can.”
“Then give me your account number, and I’ll send you ten billion dollars,” Obin stated.
“Thank you, Mr. Obin,” Robert said, reaching out to shake his hand, but Obin ignored him and tossed a piece of paper on the table.
“Mr. Robert, just sign here.” Obin gazed at him as he lit a cigarette. Robert was going through the documents with his eyes.
“If you do not restore our money on time, we will take legal action against you. We will take everything from you. But if you refuse, I’m sure you’re aware of what we’ll do to you and your family.” Obin gave them a kind of threat.
In a state of fear, Robert answered, “Yes.”
Anne’s point of view
Robert is, as far as I know, a fairly timid person. I don’t think he’ll be brave enough to confront this. He is just worthless. I gave him a happy look and encouraged him to sign, saying, “Babe, sign it; don’t worry.”
Finally, Robert signed the document.
[AT THE MANSION OF D’Suza]
“Hey, what’s up, buddy?” Paul said as he walked down the stairs.
“Hello, Paul.” Paul and Ron exchanged hugs. Ron, Paul’s childhood best friend. Ron used to read with him, but he eventually moved to another country to further his education.
Paul asked, “When did you return here?”
“I have been admitted to the same college as you two days ago,” Ron said.
“It’s going to be awesome, man. Just take a look around; I’ll be back shortly.” Paul stepped out of the room after saying.
Ron’s point of view
I was looking around. I came across a piano in a room while strolling around his house.
Is that jerk able to play the piano? No, I don’t think so.
I have never heard of that. I went to the park after that. Hmm, I’d only heard about the D’Souza family before, but I never had the opportunity to see it. They are well-off. Paul’s mother was certainly smart; otherwise, she could not earn such a vast estate. I turned around while thinking about it, and it drew my gaze to the balcony. I noticed a lovely girl in a white dress, her hair swinging in the breeze. I took a breath and lost myself in her beauty for a few moments. What was her name? I couldn’t keep my gaze away from her, with her creamy skin, long locks, and pinkish lips. I’d never seen such beauty before.
She abruptly entered the room. I instantly lowered my head.
Who the hell was she?
I had heard Paul’s stepfather had a daughter, but I did not know she was so lovely.
“We’ll get together shortly. You have the courage to stop me for a time.” I spoke out and walked to the mansion. A smile appeared on my face suddenly.
“Where have you been? Let’s go now,” Paul asked.
“I was walking around. Let’s go,” I responded. I peeked back before leaving, but there was no one there.

[In the car]
Robert and Anne were coming back home.
“Just relax, sweetie. I have faith in your ability to repay all the money.” Anne told Robert.
“What will happen if we cannot do so? They will seize all our belongings.” Robert seemed tensed.
“No, we won’t. Okay, now put this out of your mind,” Anne said.
Anne’s face became stern; she narrowed her eyes and looked out through the glass. She thought, ‘I don’t want to put myself in a bad mood. Because I know I won’t let them take everything if we can’t.’
