Painful seduction

” Taxi, Taxi.” He yelled, flinging one of the first taxes which passed before him to a halt.

He got in immediately, just as Cathy was entering her car. Cathy followed the car from a distance as it drove . This was an usual party of Los Angeles. She had never been to this land area, it was poorly developed with few sight of human living. Axl had told her about this place, it was for drug merchants. They lived here peacefully without getting scared the Cops might show up one day. As she continued her driving, Cathy began to wonder why Ryan would choose a place so disgusting as this to go. She never thought of him living here. As she tracked him from a distance, she thought of what he was hiding. It made her a little curious and she wished everything would go as planned. She had even forgotten to inform Nelly about where she was going. Left with no choice and scared for her safety, she muttered a prayer to the Heavens to keep her safe.

The drive continued and was becoming very tiring for Cathy, she wished they could just stop. Luckily, just in front of a beautiful building the taxi halted and Cathy was grateful. She was already getting tired and scared of the long journey. Ryan walked out and entered into an emerse land, quite a huge house but it was nothing compared to the Chester’s mansion but it had striking resemblance. The building was exactly how he family’s houses were. Something was peculiar about it but there was no time to think about it. She had her thoughts wondering why Ryan had come to this area.

Ryan approached a fierce looking man while Cathy hid behind some bricks but she could still hear what they said.

” You sent for me, Don Chase.” Ryan bowed in greeting.

” Yes…I did. I had thought you were hiding from me.”

” No…I will never do that. I had only give to the City to see Cathy and make her give he the properties.”

” Have you convinced her, yet?”

” Not yet…but I sent a proposal to Court.”

” How long will I wait for a court case. I need my money now.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

” But Don you had given me a stipulated time to get the money.”

” It’s either the money or I take the house.”

” Not the house please. I can serve you for as long as you want but don’t take the house.”

” You borrowed a huge sum of money to save the house, why not let the house save you.”

” It has so many memories of my mother. My father had bought this specially for me. I can’t give it out.” He screamed.

From where Cathy was, she understood what was going on and decided to intervene. Ryan wasn’t how they all had pictured him, he had only wanted the money to pay for the debt . No wonder there was a striking resemblance, the house belonged to her Father.

” Ryan would not have to leave,” she said from the corner where she was hiding as she slowly took steps to the men. Ryan was surprised to see her there.

“Cathy Chester , the bold and elegant daughter of Mr. Chester.” He praised that when she realized she had seen his face. Mr. Anderson usually did business with him, although she had suspected Mr. Anderson was involved in something huge, she had never mentioned or talked about it to anyone.

” Don’t flatter me.”

” Not a flatter Miss, we hear about all you do. It’s been a long while since I set my eyes on you.” He remarked.

” I’m not here for that, I want to know why you would forcefully take what belongs to my brother.”

Ryan was shocked to hear Cathy accept he was party of the family, a smile lit up his face but he maintained composure.

” Ryan borrowed a huge sum of money, a very huge sum. Daughter of Chester and I had no idea he was the heir.” He mocked.

” Now you know about Ryan’s true identity, What was the money for?” She already knew but just wanted to be sure.

” To pay for some legal bill. The house was to be taken by your Father in law and he wanted to protect it by all means, I was the only option.”

“How much is it? I will pay off.”

“Then I have no problem with that, Miss Cathy. Let’s talk about this in my office.”

” We have to finalize it now, I don’t like how the last time went.”

How can she forget how he tried to force himself on her if not Mr. Anderson’s intervention. It’s the same reason she was so unhappy about Mr. Anderson’s death, she couldn’t easily forget everything he had done for her.

” Do you still have a sharp memory? I’m impressed.”

” I’m the daughter of Chester, it’s in our lineage to be Smart.”

” The money is about 4 million dollars. ”

” Why would Mr. Anderson sell the house at such a huge cost.”

“To throw Ryan out, simple and obvious. Ask Ryan to send the money , he knows our thing.” He brought out his hand for a handshake, Cathy had to accept it.

Cathy walked away to make some calls, it took a long while and after that Nelly’s call came. She sounded so worried and Cathy apologized for not informing her when she was leaving. She promised Nelly she was fine and would come to the hospital in a few minutes. After a long while of call which got both men tired, Cathy ended the call and replaced the phone in her purse.

“I have made arrangements for the money bto be sent directly to you. I don’t want Ryan involved.” She said,

” You have your father’s spirit. He still lives with you. Don’t try to act smart with me, I’m sure you know the consequences that follow.” He warned and smiled .

” I’m not a fool, Don Chase. Trust me.” She assured.
