"I'll surely pay your money back, Ice Pick. Just extend the time a little bit. I'll surely pay you. I promise with my life" a rich man in his late forties knelt down with a pleading eye in the front of a cold looking but handsome guy of twenty five years old who is not ready to accept the old man pleas.
"Your life isn't worth my money, Johnson" the younger man bent down to the older man level.
"We had an agreement. You know that, right" he continued as he stood up.
"You shouldn't have promise on your life, you should have bet on your family. How about that?" he smirked looking down at the man.
"Please, Ice Pick. Let's leave my family out of this. I'll pay you your money, please" Mr Johnson pleaded.
"Let's see how that goes then. See me at your doorstep tomorrow morning" Ice Pick walked away as his boots sound filled the hallway.
"And I heard you have a beautiful daughter" he stopped on his tracks.
"My daughter?? Which of them?" Mr Johnson gasped in fright.
"Oh, It seems you've got a lot of beautiful daughters. I'll pick randomly myself then".

Sophia, a young lady of nineteen years was riding a bicycle with an headset over her head in a lonely street.
She was smiling and anyone that saw her would thought she won a lottery.
There were a lot of reasons for her to be happy that day.
Summer is the best period Sophia loves in a year and so she went for sight seeing with her new bicycle her older brother got her four days before.
If at all, she doesn't want to do anything. Just get her a bicycle and you'll be in her good book forever.
She loves riding bicycle a lot.
On top of all of it, the next day is her birthday.
'Going for sight seeing with a new bicycle during summer when my birthday is tomorrow is the best moment of my life' she thought as she increased her speed.
"I'm gonna be twenty tomorrow, Woohoo" she screamed as her voice echoed across the street.
Soon, she started getting to the busy street which lead to the market.
'Im surely gonna have a lot of fun today' she thought as she found a place to park her bicycle when a car moved on high speed and splashed a dirty water in the market pothole on her.
"What the heck" she shouted as if the water was fire on her and gained other people's attention.
And immediately, she picked a stone and threw it towards the car and it hits her target which was the glass.
"Ughhh…" A loud gasp ran across the market
"Oh, what have you done, Sophia?" A lady of her age slapped her back, she looked at the person only to confirm it was her classmate or else she would have punished her for slapping her unaware.
"What are you doing here, Nikel?" Sophia asked looking at the bags in the lady's hand.
"Of course, I came here to get some breads. I should be asking you what you're doing here" Nikel chuckled.
"And did you know you just get yourself into trouble, huh?"
And just then, the same car earlier reversed back to their direction.
"Huh? It's really Ice Pick. You're really in a deep trouble this moment, Sophia" Nikel stated in a scared tone and started moving back from Sophia.
"I'm gonna watch how you're gonna sort yourself out this time not even your father can save you" Nikel's voice was kinda loud and that was when Sophia noticed she was far from her but that wasn't her concern.
"Hey" she knocked hardly on the car tinted glass as the driver opened the door and rushed to her.
"So if I didn't throw that stone on your filthy car, you won't come back to say sorry, huh" she laughed like a maniac as she looked at the driver with a disgusted expression.
"Uhmm…ma'am…"
"Shut it right there, I don't need your sorry anymore" she shushed the driver sharply.
"I just need to see the owner of this car"
"You can't see him, ma'am. Are you sure you'll be able to stand here if you get to see him?" the driver chuckled and just then the car glass whined down.
"I'm the owner of the car and now you get to see me" Sophia's neck suddenly rotate to the manly's voice that got her legs turned to jelly only for her to see it was a dangerous looking hot guy piercing into her eyes coldly.
It took her awhile before she regain her consciousness.
And the next thing she did shocked the people watching, the driver and even the handsome guy.
"Seriously, so you are the idiot"
"Well, like I said earlier, I don't need your sorry anymore. All you just have to do is how to get this first off me"
"You can just do well by getting your clothes off your body and the dirts is all gone" the handsome guy smirked which made the driver chuckled lightly.
"You pervert…" Sophia stated angrily and suddenly grabbed the black hat on his head.
"I think this will do than talking with riffraff" she mumbled as she cleaned her body with the hat.
She threw it at the handsome guy and climbed on the bicycle and rode away.

Mr Johnson got home later in the evening just in time for dinner.
"Welcome dad" Sophia and her little sister, Sophie greeted him as Sophie rushed up to him to get his bag.
"Welcome honey" Mrs Johnson smiled at her husband as she walked out of the kitchen to the living room.
"Go wash up and come down for dinner real quick"
"Dad, do you know your daughter got into another fight today" Martins, the only son, Sophia's brother stated but Mt Johnson didn't pay any attention.
"Hmm" was the only sound he made as he found his way to his room.
Minutes later, Mrs Johnson retired to her room and saw her husband so focused on his PC.
"Oh, they aren't going to borrow me this loan, ugh" she heard him groaned.
"Is there any problem, darling?"
"It's nothing, hon" Mr Johnson hissed.
"You're kinda off today and you're telling me it's nothing. How is that possible"
"I said it's nothing so you shouldn't worry so much"
"How do you expect me not to worry when you're not looking so good, huh?"
"It's Ice Pick"
"Ice Pick?? What's about him?" the name brought fear to the woman as her found her feet drag her to her husband.
"I borrowed some money from him and today's the day I'm supposed to pay him but I couldn't and so he'll be here tomorrow all by himself and only heavens knows what's gonna happen" Mr Johnson heaved as he was lost into thought.
"What??"
Bloods rushed through Mrs Johnson spines as she couldn't believe her ears and her feet trembles."What do you mean,hon?""What do you mean Ice Pick is gonna be here tomorrow,huh?" her lips quivered as she talked with her lips trembling."How could you,huh?""How could you think of borrowing money..... Not just from anyone.....Why Ice Pick? Why??" She lamented almost at the verge of tears looking at her husband who was deep in thought."What should we do,hon? she patted her husband when she noticed he wasn't listening."What?" he looked at her with a red eyes."What should we do? Should we just pack out overnight to somewhere else far away"."It's of no use. Packing out doesn't mean we're safe, we're only causing ourselves more trouble. He has his eyes on us and you think packing out is safe,huh?" Mr Johnson shunned hi
~~ The Next Morning ~~Sophia woke up from her Dreamland when she heard a familiar voice screaming and yawned loudly."Wooh, who could be disturbing my sleep this early morning""I'm sure it's that little spoilt brat" she stated grumpily referring to Sophie as she lazily climbed down the bed."Dad, pls help me… Daaaaddd" she heard again. Sophie's voice sounds like she has been crying.'Is she crying?' she thought."And why is she crying?" She mumbled and hissed as she made her way to the living room and then she remembered last night events. Her father's talk about one ruthless guy."Ooh, I can't remember his name again" she hitted her forehead repeatedly like someone who is trying to remember something.'Or is he here' her eyes popped out at the thought of that as she took her steps slowly trying to peep to th
Sophie stood dumbly as she watched one of Ice Pick boys dragged Sophia in who was as well dragging herself with the boy who was stronger than her stubbornly and grumbled cussed words which was inaudible to Sophie because of the way she was talking - like she got two eggs in her mouth."Huh…" Sophie gasped from where she stood. "Sophia" she called lowly."Ice Pick or whatever you might be picking, I believe that since you got what you want, you should let the other go, huh" Sophia scoffed as she rolled her eyes and watched Ice Pick whose expression was blank.No one in the room was unable to read what might be going through his mind which made Sophie's heartbeat races the more as she believed Ice Pick is gonna get Sophia punished for talking to him rudely.Silence… Then silence…Ice Pick's eyes glinted a little as he moved his eyes to Sophia's who was staring
Sophia grumpily took the broom and curb the cobwebs. She climbed the higher heights using a wooden stool she saw in one of the corner room and curbed the ceilings as well and ensured every nooks and crannies of the room are cob webs-free. She swept the room and later went to fetch water and packed every materials in the room out and mopped the floor after mixing some detergents with water. She sat for a while for the floor to dry so she'll pack the materials and set a bedroom for herself as she sighed lowly as a result of fatigue. She could only do that as she had did something more than that before when she was kidnapped when she was fifteen years old by one of her father's opponent who was trying to bring her father down during the period and she was made to weed out grasses with her hands. She really suffered for two weeks and had obviously learnt how to do house chores on her own as she didn't need maids in her father's house to clean her room for her unlike her siblings.
~ The Next Morning ~Sophia stretched out lazily in the bed. The morning sun is out already and was all shining in the room. She lazily opened her eyes."Huh" she gasped when she noticed the room was all empty, the girls were gone. Alas. They were pains in the ass.Urine was really pressing her bladder.She climbed down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom when she noticed the girls' belongings were not in the room. That'll be later - she mumbled as she opened the door to the bathroom.She came out seconds later and opened the other wardrobe in the room but couldn't find the girls' properties. Not even a socks.Her stomach grumbled as she hissed out loudly. A day away from home.*A bell rang across the camp after she finished dressing up.What's that for - she thought.She was wearing a black boyfriend top and a black baggy joggers. She topped it all up with a black sneaker. Sh
Sophia and Lila walked into his chambers following suite as the door closed behind them. He sat on his ambiguous chair and stared at them both, snapping his hands and immediately a young man lit up his cigarette."My number one rule in this place is no fighting and you…" He points at Lila."I'm very sure you're aware of this." She shivered in fear as Sophia looked at her, trying her best not to burst into laughter.'And I thought she's the tough one here.' She thought as she made a giggle inwardly."I'm so sorry, Ice pick but she started it…" She was saying when Sophia instantly turned to her in surprise with a smirk on her face."With all due respect Ice Pick or whatever you're being called, do you train liars here because it's obvious she's one" Sophia stated with her full confidence looking into his eyes.'What insolence?' Ice Pick's forehead creased to a frown.How dare her?How dare her look into his eyes that way?"James." He called."Yes boss." James rushed towards him immediat
The bell rang loudly in the camp as everyone in the camp woke up and prepared for their daily task and just like every one else, Sophia got ready in her new uniform which seemed dashing on her.Annie helped her pack her hair to a bun as Alice gave her a mini waist bag, telling her it'll look so good on her, matching the color with uniform."You look so hot, girlie." Annie smiled as Sophia only shrugged."It still feel like wearing a cloth from hell. It itches my body system." She hissed as Alice and Annie made a light laugh at her words."It still look good on you tho." Alice said as the trio marched out of the room. Alice and Annie almost used three minutes in smooching the f*cking hell out of their lips before moving with her to the hall.Oh wow. Sophia heaved out as she thought inwardly, looking around and actually no one looking odd unlike the day before that it was only her and a guy wearing just the regular dress and not some uniform looking like a prisoner.The environment seem
Sophia walked back to her dorm with a frown boldly plastered on her face as she talked angrily with every step she took."How could he? Does he think he is some kind of god to just order people around and make them always do his wish, huh?" She hissed angrily and loudly.And as she marched on and wasn't looking her way, she staggered on a block on the way and almost fell while some groups of girls walking around chuckled at her mockingly."Oh what a clumsy chick." She heard one of them laugh."I guess that's why Ice Pick hated her and welcomed her with such a heavy slap." Another one laughed as Sophia seethed inwardly and pointed her middle finger standing vertical at them."What?!" One of the girls' eyes went red in anger."Oh yeah, f*ck you and your a** b*tch." Sophia stated giving a daring look as she took a step closer to them.The second lady folded her palm in a fist and gritted her cheek violently."F*ck you." Sophia raised the finger again."What are you going to do about that
