Maria watched her go and hoped that everything will work as planned and very soon, two of them will be leaving the Elite hotel with the money they came for.Once Selena disappeared behind the hotel door, Maria sighed. She wanted a drink now so she headed towards the bar."I want some shots of whiskey. Any kind"Maria told the bartender. She knew that she should have gone with water but she needed something strong to forget the spur of moment so some shots seemed fitting.After the bartender placed the drinks down, Maria gulped them down in no time.She did not leave, rather she watched this crowd do their thing while her mind was on her best friend, she was deeply worried for Selena. Not knowing the kind man Selena was going to meet gave her heart burns. After a few minutes, someone sat beside her at the bar and placed a hand on hers. Looking up, she saw none other than Caleb Hamilton himself looking at her with those puppy eyes of his. Maria rolled her eyes at him."I returned and I

Selena felt humiliated and defeated. The gritting of her teeth could be heard not just by her but by the two men present in the room. One who is being an ass and the order who is on standby for any order to be given.If she could beat Robert, she would have done it since. Not only she is humiliated by the ba*rd, she was disrespected.She just has two options; to leave and risk her brother dying or swallow her pride and beg this man who feels like he is a god to help her. Not that he would be doing it for free,she is offering her body.Robert waited to hear the door close but it looked like it was not happening soon. Mike was darting his eyes from his boss to the lady behind him, contemplating whether to drag her out of the room since the boss had ordered her out.Selena looked around, distracting herself a little."Where are his men because I know that he has tons of them"She thought, hoping to hear the door opening soon. She heard nothing and sighed inwardly. Her attention was sudde

The moment Selena left, Mike walked up to his boss,"Sir, you were so kind to her, you even gave her the money without thinking"Robert snorted," I have no reason to think about it. And yes, I gave her the money. I'm not doing this just for you so stop complaining.t"Robert snapped at him, annoyed."Yes, of course Boss, I am sorry for being so rude"Mike apologized sheepishly, he was scared he angered him somehow by mentioning Selena.Robert sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration," I am sure we are done here tonight, tell others and let's leave at once."Mike nodded and went ahead to carry out his boss's order.****Selena leaned against the hotel door. She needed time to catch her breath and take in what was happening. Having the money with her looks so surreal and she has no idea on how to take it all in, it was so easy and she is finding it hard to believe it. In fact she was speechless and as well overwhelmed, she was unable to process any of it. The only thing she knew is t

EARLIER ON... Maria's phone vibrated from the desk across the room. Caleb cursed under his breath and took a long stride towards it. The phone has been vibrating for a while now but he ignored it with the hope it will stop. He actually seized Maria's purse and her phone. He just did not want to give her access to the outside world. He hopes to keep her here for a long time until he decides to let her go. The fact that she is dating his brother, Jack, gives him a whole new level of hatred for Jack. Maria was supposed to be his forever but because his brother, Jack could not watch that happen, he framed him for a crime and sent him to prison and still went ahead and took his girlfriend. As long as he is free, Caleb had vowed to make his brother and his former girlfriend pay for what they did to him. He would make sure they paid and he had started, his brother would not see what's coming his way until it's too late. He picked up the phone from the desk and saw the caller

Selena wiped the sweat off her face as she waited anxiously for a cab to come by. She was clutching the bag of money like her life depended on it. Sure, her brother's life depends on it. Her phone beeped and she cursed out loud. It indicated battery low and it will soon go off. That's why Maria could not get through to her the first time she called because the phone tripped off and Selena had to power it and now that she had heard from her friend, she wouldn't be too worried if the phone goes off. What she should be worried about is how to get home or even to the hospital right now. It's pretty late and the night is already dead but she was optimistic that she will get a cab. She slapped off the mosquito on her right legs and shifted her weight to the right leg. She was standing few meters away from the hotel. The night was breezy and chilly, the wind biting and the temperature dropping. She wrapped her hands around herself tightly to block the chill but it wasn't enough. Her tee
