Debts

Mia and I returned back from the wedding two days ago but neither of us had talked about what happened.

Mia apologized to me for lying and I forgave her , she’s the only friend I have and I didn’t plan on being mad at her for long.

The two men who had found Mia's address handed me the white piece of paper and I looked at it, unable to understand what they were saying.

What do you mean by "my husband ran into some kind of debt" ? I asked the man who had a big mark on his face and was dressed in a black suit.

Mrs Horace, your husband ran into debts before he died and he sadly used you as collateral.

Everything stops at that moment. My hands trembled slightly to the paper in my hands.“He used me as__” not her, Me.

I smiled again trying to hide my anger, turning to face the man “I had no idea about the business deal my husband made and he’s dead already so why should I be the one to pay?”

We would be back to claim back our debts and you better have the money to pay.

I took the second paper from their hands as I stared at the huge figures.

How could Callum do this to me, why did he have to put me in such a mess knowing that I have nothing and no one to run to.

When I shut the door, I turned to Mia's burning gaze.

Callum was a bitch isn’t he?

I threw the paper at Mia as I slumped to the floor unable to hold my legs.

He was in a million dollar debt and he thought that he could die.

This is such a big mess, Mia said as I walked back to sit on the couch.

I know the man he had the deal with, he is a popular loan lender and he had been rumoured to be working with the Italian mafia. He goes extra miles to make sure his debtors pay back.

The last thing I want to do is be afflicted with him , I had no one not even Callum MC members gave a fuck about me at this moment.

“What are you going to do daisy, you know boss Russel is the last person you want to deal with” Mia voice resounded in my head.

You don’t have to worry, I will get it sorted out.

Mia was my best friend and cared so much about me , but I couldn’t put all my problems aside .

*******

Two months ago your husband emptied your account, he brought your signature and everything and he claimed that it’s a joint account.

The words of the accountant broke into my head.

I couldn’t understand the bitch , what was she saying, I had about 5 million saved up and she’s saying that my account has been emptied by him.

I’m sorry ma, but there’s nothing we can do at the moment.

Her last words triggered something I didn’t know I had in me.

Hurt pain and anger for him.

He had ruined my life .

Callum had this planned all along , he wanted me dead.

He took all my savings and now left me with nothing,absolutely nothing to be with.

How was I going to pay up his loan?

How was I going to start? This was the only opportunity I had left .

Ignoring the words of the banker I walked out of the bank the tears started to form in my eyes.

Mia was just sitting in her car at the garage waiting for me.

I had promised her that I was going to give her the money and now how do I tell her that my dead ex husband had ruined everything.

The moment Mia sees me from the rear window , she opens the door and jumps out.

Mia pulled me into a hug.

“It’s okay baby,” Mia said as she tried to clean the tears from my eyes.

He took it all , he took everything away from me , I had five million saved up in that account , it’s all I had.

What should I do ?. I have don’t have a fucking degree , no one would hire me, I have no fucking experience and I have literally no one to run to.

Mia doesn't say anything , but instead she leads me to the car and then drives off

I sat at the balcony of Mia’s house with my legs curled up in her chair as I watched the day go dark.

My heart felt like it was going to rip off any moment from now.

The pain I had inside of me wasn’t something that I would wish on my worst enemy.

I couldn’t even breath , I didn’t want to think of the things Russel would do to me when he doesn't get his money.

I was fucked.

“Thank you diasy” I heard Tristan say as he stepped out of the house.

Mia was right behind him like a lovesick puppy.

“Hope you both had a nice time” I say to him and Tristan only smiles as he walks away.

Unlike me who got married to the president of a motorcycle club , Mia was lucky enough to have gotten a doctor who worked at the town's hospital and had a stable income and a reputable background.

I was the sweet innocent girl who got the bad guy and Mia the wild one got the best guy.

Mia slowly slipped her hands across my chest as she laid soft kisses on my neck.

I know you’re going through a lot and as your best friend I have promised to come up with ways for you to pay that debt. I really hate seeing you like this and so I have come up with this plan.

“I’m not clubbing tonight Mia” I cut her off before she could say a thing.

You haven’t been to one since you married that bastard, well you don’t have a choice now do you? .

I signed defeatedly, I know Mia I could go against her and after all I need a little more drinks, I have to forget all my problems.
