Ann POV
"Do you know how many chances i gave you to pay me back my money?". I heard the cold looking guy say to my step dad. His voice sending cold shivers down to my spine. I looked at my step-dad who was shivering on his knees pleading.
"Do you think i play around with my hard-earned money Roberts? I gave you six fucking months to pay me back but you couldn't!!" He shouted again, this time he stood up launching towards my step-dad with his gun
"Stop please". I didn't know where i got the courage from but I had to. Now he's looking at me. I couldn't help but tremble under his cold eyes looking at me like i was some kind of nuisance. I saw one of the guys asking my step-dad who i was,he responded i was his daughter. I swear i could have laughed if i wasn't being pinned down with this cold-stare.
"I will take her in exchange for my money". He said not taking his eyes away from me.
"No! I'm not going anywhere with you fucking animal". I protested my voice shaking. I'm scared.
"Did you just call me an animal? You think am here to joke" he gave a wicked laugh . " I am leaving here with you now! If your father has failed to provide my money, i will take you with me"
My head is spinning. I expected the one who called me his daughter just now to say something instead he was looking at me. I saw him say sorry in a whisper. How could he? Does he have an idea who this man is? How did he get involved with Marcias?
Anthony Marcias the most powerful and wealthy billionaire in Los Angeles.
The next thing i knew was my step-dad discussing my exchange with the Almighty Marcias. This man just sold me for a fucking $40000. What kind of business deal did he do with this man?
"Ann i'm sorry, I don't have a choice" My step-dad pleaded. I looked at him sensing no remorse in him at all. Was he going to get the money at all? Will he pay back? How am i going to survive?. Tears dropping, i had so many questions going through my head at the same time. Life has always been so hard for me.
"The car is ready sir, we can leave" I heard the other guy say again.
"Take her to the car,i have an unfinished business with this man". Marcias said handling me to the same guy who led me to car, surprised i wasn't dragged to the car with the way he was looking.
"Paahhhhh!!!"
I just heard a gun shot. No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I screamed at the sound of the gunshot i just heard. Although i hated my step-dad but he was all have got. I lost my dad when i was four and my mom remarried. I lost my mom to cancer two years ago so I was left at the mercy of my step-dad. Since i had finished high school,i didn't bother getting into college because i couldn't afford it. The only property left to me was the house which i couldn't sell because of the memories it holds. I didn't blame him for the several gamblings, drinking and debts he was always into. My mom was the only source of survival he had.
Now he's gone.
Anthony Marcias killed him! He must pay for what he did
Marcias POV
Nobody messes with me and go scot free. I don't feel any sense of guilt. I had built a reputation no one dares to look down on.
Being Anthony Marcias is hardwork. Keeping my reputation as strong and as stiff as it is, is even harder work.
I saw the girl crying while walking outside the house and struggling to get into the car with Williams. She heard the gunshot,i thought feeling a little sad.
I don't give a fuck! It's my fucking business
I entered the other car and signaled to the guys.
We got to the mansion in less than an hour and i headed straight to my bedroom to take a nap. I remembered i brought a girl home but now is not the time. I will decide what to do later.
I laid down on the bed with the image of the girl popping in my thoughts. Her tears, how she looked at me with those eyes. I wondered why i was feeling a little sadness in me for her.
I'm not allowed to feel this way!
I get what i want always and i don't regret doing.
I shoved the thoughts aside and slept off
I heard a knock on the door which woke me up. It was Williams
Williams is my bodyguard and my best. He has also been working for me for over 15years.
"I just got a call from the office. Your next appointment is by 2pm". Williams said
"Okay, i will be downstairs soon". I replied
I'm the owner of a multi-billion dollar tech company in Los Angeles. You can say i'm quite rich but no i'm wealthy. I have everything at my beck and call. I get anything i want to have.
I checked my wrist watch to see what the time says. It was 1pm. I headed to the bathroom to take my bath. I love keeping to time. I don't take shit.
I headed downstairs looking corporate in one of my tuxedo suits and shoes. I looked around hoping to see the girl i brought in then i knew Williams would have done his job of providing her a room till i'm ready to discuss what to do with her.
"Sir, Sir". I snapped out of my thoughts immediately when i heard Mr Maxwell call me. I hadn't been concentrating on what Mr Maxwell was saying. My thoughts had been on the girl.
I closed the meeting and headed straight home with the thoughts of all that had happened earlier today
What the hell is wrong with me?
What is she doing to me? I need to see her!!
