Chapter 4 "To save her brother"

"Then he kissed her right there,in front of the whole restaurant. This is just unbelievable. I can't believe Travis has a girlfriend" Lila blurted out while pacing around the living room.

"Calm down darling, I dint think Travis knows the girl. It might just be a prank to get away from the date set with Bridget. That girl he kissed is a way too low for him. I know my son, he will never settle for less" Thomas replied. His focus still remain fixed on the magazine he had at hand.

It's already all over the internet that his son kissed a poor waiter.

"What a bad way to start a new day?" He thought.

Lila disagreed. She refused to believe it was a trick from Travis to get away from his date. "Oh can't you just forget about that crossword and use your brain here? He french kissed her"

Thomas dropped the magazine. "So he french kissed her and then?" He asked.

"Travis kissed the waitress in public in front of every eyes there as if his life depended on it and you say there's nothing" Lila uttered.

"Maybe he likes her. Why does that bother you?" Thomas replied.

"Use your head Thomas. This is the perfect opportunity to get Travis married. It would even be more easier now that it's all over the internet. Travis wouldn't want to taint his reputation. Everyone is saying such nice words just because of this poor girl. My son should continue to remain an idol in everyone's eyes "

New York mayor, Travis Santiago kissed a poor waitress...is this love?

The CEO really has a large heart, I wish someone would hold me the way he held her..

I never knew President Travis can settle for less

He is so nice!

He is so caring!

Lila reminisced the comments of people on the internet. She loves it when her son is always the center of attraction and would go to any extent to keep that air of superiority around him.

"What's on your mind Lila?" Thomas asked. He knew his wife was hatching a plan.

"We will have to make a plan" Lila said with a serious face.

"A plan! What plan?" Thomas asked.

"A brilliant one" Lila replied.

Worried looking Annie wandered round the neighborhood searching for her brother. She asked everyone she knew if they had seen a glimpse of her brother but no one did.

"Something is definitely wrong" Annie sensed. 

She wanted to burst into fresh tears when suddenly, someone ticked her waist from behind. She jerked in fear and it turned out to be Stephen, her brothers best friend.

Annie didn't like it. He has always been flirty around her and she always shout at him to stop his flirty attitude but he never heed to her warnings.

"Would you shout at me again, baby girl?" Stephen raised his brows, making sure his golden brown eyes bored into hers, which were like the sky.

She smirked and looked away. She can't shout at him. Not at the moment she needed help.

"That hurts. Beauty in the face with anger in the heart is more like an angel face and a devil's thought" he said and she smirked again.

"Wanna talk with someone?" He raised his hand to touch her. She flinched once the the hard sole of his palm came in contact with her soft and tender skin. She glared at him and just went straight to the point.

"Have you seen my brother?" She asked, dryly.

Stephen spent minutes staring at her face. Sometimes he wondered if she is a witch or some spirits, her beauty is beyond extraordinary. He would call her a seductress. Asides her sky blue eyes that are captivating, her red berry lips are full and so tempting. Her big ass always make him have a hard on.

"I asked a question" Annie barked. She couldn't withstand his stares anymore.

Stephen blinked immediately. "I saw your brother, he was with some guys who looked doggy. I asked him who they where and he said I should relax that he will go and chat them and will be right back, before I could say I'm coming with you, they were gone. I didn't see him after that" Stephen explained calmly.

Annie slammed her forehead. "Good heavens, it will he the death of my grandmother. I should go look for him before something happens to granny because if him. He had better hope I don't find him. I'm sure he didn't tell you everything.....

Let me see if I will find him. Grandma is waiting for news. It's pushing up her blood pressure and blood sugar"

"I will come with you..." Stephen says.

"No need" Annie ran like a squirrel.

"Don't worry" she ran off.

"I will pay you as soon as I have money. I promise. Just a few more days" Annie heard voices followed by punching sounds.

It was her brother's voice and they were hitting him.

Annie rushed to the point, following the direction of the sound. When she got there, she stood shocked. Her brother wasn't looking human. He looked like some kind of zombie with his cloth soaked in his own body fluid.

Blood reeked down his nose like rain drop.

"Brother!" Annie shouted, her hands were visibily shaking..

"Leave my brother! What did he do?" She bursted into tears.

Damian looked up, he was still held hostage. "Leave Annie. Annie leave" it was a ragged command but Annie wouldn't listen.

"Hey pretty thing" One of the guys made flirty comment about Annie.

"She has nothing to do with this" Damian gritted.

"Maybe we should take her as a price to pay for your debt. She is not that bad. She has a nice ass. My d*ck is standing erect. Come on beauty" another guy said.

"Annie leave" Damian breathed heavily.

Annie didn't want to believe she is in reality until a  manly figure took slow and steady strides behind her. She turned in fear. He is tall, light skinned, he is all what a female will call handsome.

"Your brother won't be released till he pays my money....or do you wanna strike a deal with your body?" His voice pierced through her heart. It broke her.

"What nonsense?" Damian shouted with all his might before passing out.

Annie's eyes popped out, she rushed to her brother who lay as if thou he was lifeless.
