Debby's POV
Entering the man's living room left me wowed, I mean everything is so classy and expensive.
Beside the entrance door stood the potrait of a very beautiful woman, her eyes so soft and friendly.
She has a pair of blue eyes, if one didn't take a closer look, you will think she wore contact. She have a jet black hair, a warm welcoming smile playing on her lips.
"Debby are you alright there?" The man asked me.
I nod still not taking my eyes from the potrait, I'm so engrossed in it.
"I was talking to you but you didn't reply" he said.
I turned wanting to ask about the woman in the potrait, but then I saw the woman.
Standing next to him with the same warm welcoming smile on her lips.
I gasped. I think I stared too much at the picture, now I'm imagining her. I slapped myself lightly as if to wake up from my daydream, but it didn't work, rather the woman's smile widen.
"Debby meet my wife Nora" the man said, looking at Nora with so much love.
I stood dumbly not knowing what to do, I'm awestruck. How can someone be this beautiful? I guess God was being partial when creating her.
I waved at her shyly.
"Oh dear, don't be shy" she said and took my hand into her soft delicate hands, "come, let's have a seat" she added and led me to a couch.
I sat down, she and husband sat opposite me.
"Would you like something to drink?" Nora asked me.
I'm kinda thirsty, I've been going on all morning without food or water.
"Water please" I replied.
Immediately I said it, a maid came and placed the water in front of me, like she was on standby, waiting for command.
I drank the water almost too quickly, fortunately I didn't choke on it.
I dropped the cup on the small table beside me and raised up my head to see, Nora and her husband looking at me carefully....monitoring my actions.
Which makes me wonder why they're watching me.....do I look weird? I shrugged that thought from my mind.
I cleared my throat quietly.
"Sir, what is it that you wanted us to discuss?" I asked him.
He smirked
"well first things first, call me Mr knights" he said, I nod in affirmation.
"So, I will be honest with you" he paused looking at me, I don't know why but he's looking at me. "We don't need a cook" he said.
What?? They don't need a cook, why then did they put that notice there.
Something is not right here, or do they put that notice there to lure girls in and use them for ritual?!.
Oh my God, I hope they haven't drugged my water.... was that why he was looking at me?, Wondering why I haven't died yet?,
No, I can't die like this I need to get out of here.
My breathing became rough, I begin to breath unevenly.
Nora noticed this, so she placed her hand on my shoulder, using the other hand to rub my back, trying to calm me down and get my breathing back to normal.
"What happened just now?" Nora asked, panic noticeable in her voice.
Mr knights too is looking worried, I shook my head to tell them I'm fine.
"You were having a panic attack" Nora states.
"I'm fine, why did you put that notice there if you don't need a cook?" I asked, I have to confirm with them if what I'm thinking is right.
"Well we need you to do something else for us....." He exchange looks with his wife then turn to me. "We need you to do something...... something difficult" Mr knights said.
Something difficult?! Could it be robing a bank?! Wait....what am I thinking?!
"What is that?" I asked.
"Debby, after this job is done, 5million will be transferred into your account" Nora said smiling, why is she always smiling.
I smiled mentally.
5million, that's a lot of money.
I can start a business with it and even further my education and nobody will ever look down on me ever again.
I don't think any job can be too difficult for 5million.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked them.
Mr knights and Nora shared a knowing look.
Ok, now I'm confused, why will they share a look? I didn't ask any foolish question, right?.
Nora laughed nervously.
"Marry our son" she said looking at me straight in the eyes.
Say what now?!
Marry their son?
Are they out of their minds?.
How can I marry their son..... someone I don't know!
what if their son is a cripple or deaf and dumb, what if he's an imbecile.
I shuddered at that thought.
I can't sacrifice my happiness for money.
if they want their son to get married so bad they should talk to him about it..... why are they willing to pay such a huge amount just to find a wife for him.
Mr knights and Nora were both looking at me expectantly, their eyes begging me to say yes, I can see the desperation in their eyes.
"I can't" I said.
"Why?, Is the money not enough?" Nora asked, I looked at her like she's lost her mind, she's a woman, how can she ask me something like that.
"Don't worry about the money, if it's not enough, we can add more later" Mr knights said.
What is wrong with rich people..... throwing money about, thinking everything is about money.
Don't they know that there are some certain things that money can't buy?,
Money can't buy happiness, they should look for something better to use their money for.
"It's not about the money, I just can't do it. sir, if you want your son to get married, sit him down and tell him he's old enough to settle down, you can't choose a wife for your son or hire one for him" I told them.
"Debby you don't understand, our son won't listen to us, he's a workaholic and never gets time for himself, just please marry him" Mr knights said.
I shook my head in disbelief.
"I can't do it, what if he already have a girlfriend?" I asked.
"He doesn't have time for himself how can he get a girlfriend" Mr knights chuckled lightly.
"Debby please help us" Nora said, I couldn't talk, I just kept staring at them questioningly.
A lot of questions are running through my mind, I need to investigate this family, but before that I need to get out of here, but how can I leave.
"Or do you need time to think about it?" Nora asked.
Hmmm, that's a good idea, I can say I need time to think about it and leave immediately.
then I will never come back here, after all, they don't know where I live.
I nod my head quickly, that I think I heard my neck crack a bit.
"Okay we'll give you some time to think" Nora said.
Mr knights dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out a small card, his business card I think, and stretch it to me.
"Call me when you make up your mind" he said. I collected the card and stood up quickly.
"I'll take my leave now" I told them.
"I'll see you off" Nora offered but I politely decline with a fake smile, I need to leave as fast as I could.
"Okay dear, Take care" she said, I nod and rushed off like my pants is on fire.
I was in a hurry to leave, that I didn't pay attention to where I was going.... I didn't see a man carrying a small briefcase and a phone in his hand Walk in.
I was in such a hurry that I walked right into him and everything he held in his hands fell on the hard floor.
"WHAT THE FUCK" the man roared.
To Be Continued.............
Debby POV"What the fuck?!" The man yelled.His voice sounds so thunderous, that if the foundation to this house is not strong enough it will shake it. I took a step back, head bowed, I dare not raise my head to see how angry he actually is.I bent down to pickup the phone and briefcase that fell from his hands, although the phone is already broken. The phone look so expensive, I'm just hoping and praying he doesn't ask me to buy him a new one..... I will just have to sell myself to replace the phone."I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" I mumbled continuously as I pick each piece of the phone that scattered around. I stood up, head still bowed, I stretched out the stuffs to him."Why don't you f**king watch where you're f**king going?" He yelled again, I flinched. Doesn't he know anything other than yelling?"I'm sorry sir"I apologised."F**king raise your head when I'm talking to you" he hissed harshly.I instantly raised my head and behold the sight that befall me
.. 🌀 Andre's POV 🌀Immediately I step foot into the club and girls started throwing themselves at me. They're are all giving me flirtatious looks, trying to get my attention. I scoffed, these girls have nothing important to do with their youthful time..... I hate it when girl throw themselves at me. They only flirt with me for two things.....one for my good looks and the other for my money.Although, The girls are all very beautiful....... so-called high class babes..... some people might say they're my perfect match. But to me they are all gold diggers, beauties without brains.I skipped through the crowd and went up to the VIP section. That area has the best view in the club, from the VIP section you can see whatever shit going on down in the club.I glanced around and saw Sean and Michael waving at me to come over, I took long stride towards them and sat next to Michael."So how do you like this club" Sean asked. I just nod at him, whilst Michael ordered our drin
.. 🌀 Debby's POV 🌀"You're awake" he chirped happily, he set the tray of food he was carrying on the nightstand and sat next to me on the bed. I sat upright and subconsciously moved back a bit, he narrowed his eyes."You must be hungry" anxiousness evident in his voice, "here eat something" he cut a small piece of pancake and brought it to my mouth. I turned my face....away from him.Why is he giving me food? Isn't he supposed to punish me for destroying his stuffs? Isn't that's why he brought me here?."Angel open your mouth"Angel? Since when did I become an angel? Why is he calling me that? or is he mistaking me for someone?Maybe he doesn't recognize me...... I should grab this opportunity to escape from here. I quickly stood up from the bed groggily, I bruced myself ready for the fall...... since my legs are too shaky to keep me standing.... but the guy acted on reflect. Almost like he expected my fall..... he caught me before I could fall to the ground."Easy Angel"
..Debby's POV I thought I finally escaped him, but my ugly bad luck had to make me see him here again.Wait....... don't tell me he did a background check on me and found out I'll be working here!"Angel, are you okay?" His question pulls me from my nightmare...... No, daycare! He's looking out straight in my eyes, without blinking. Suddenly I become aware of how close we are.....he's very close to me......our nose almost touching.I stands up right instantly, and quickly take a step back to create space between us. He frowns at my action, and take a step forward to close the space.....but I take another step back and held out my hand to stop him. He stops and narrow his eyes at me."What are you doing here, Angel? And who the hell made you carry hot coffee?" He asks, eyeing my hand which coffee split on. I frown......I thought he knew about me getting this job, why is he pretending to be surprised now.I also look down at the hand and notice it's getting red from the hottnes
..Debby's POV I check my phone and saw it's my landlord calling. I stepped away from André and head towards the door, but his voice stops me on my tracks."Angel? Where are you going?" "Toilet?" I said unsure.I continue heading toward the door, but he came in front of me."I have a toilet here in my office, the one downstairs is for employees" he said."Oh! Well...... I'm also one of your employees, which means I have to use the one downstairs"He lets out a frustrated sigh, and mutters some words under his breath."Baby, I've told many times. What's mine is yours, why is it so hard for you to understand?"Just then my phone stopped ringing. I turn away from André and scoffed."I need to get out of here, now!"André eyes my hand..... suspiciously glaring at the phone in my hand. As if the phone is telepathically communicating with andré, it starts to ring.I check and this time it wasn't my landlord calling this time, but Anna. God, something bad must've happened."Mr knights,
..Debby's POV The ride from Knights milling Inc, to my apartment....well ex-apartment is short and silent. André keeps furrowing his eyebrows, scorning and sighing all the way. When we made it, I quickly alight the car and head towards the porch.Anna is sitting outside next to my luggages, her eyes red.... evidence of her crying."Anna" I call her.She lifts her head and sees me. She quickly runs to me and hug me, then her water works begin again."I'm so sorry, Debby. I tried to stop him, I really did. What are you going to do now? You just got a job, you haven't even receive your pay yet. Debby.... I'm so sorry" she says.I wipe her tears, and put on a smile.... it's not her fault."Shhh, it's not your fault. I think I deserve this, I have been living here for the past 8months without paying the rent. So don't beat yourself up for my mistake""But where are you going to sta....... "" Don't worry, your friend is safe. She'll be living with me" Andre said from behind me.I roll
..Debby's POV "Wow!!" Natalie gushed as I look myself in the mirror.Right now, I'm done bathing and I'm checking out the gown Natalie laid down for me.... It's beautiful.A white short gown that stops at my mid thigh.... it's an offshoulder and it perfectly hugged my skinny body....all my boney structure in display.... Kidding!"Here!" She placed a silver heel in front of me."I should wear it?" I asked."Of course"She chuckles nervously and shake my head."No, please""Why? It compliment your beautiful dress""No.... I...

Trust me.... It's gonna make your legs longer" she paused and studies my legs. "And by the way... Your legs are way too short" she teased me
..Debby's POV Andre stops in front of FK's restaurant.... I secretly smile and sighed happily.Finally, I'll get some time to myself.... Get some fresh air without Andre tainting it."Should I walk you inside?" He asked me.I pass him a very sweet smile."No.... I can go in alone"He nods. Just then, someone knocks on the window..... I turned and saw Anna.I quickly got off and embraced her.... Anna waved at Andre."Hi, Andre" she chirped excitedly."Hi.....erm...." What? don't tell he forgot her name!"Anna" she reminds him."Right, Anna!" I rolled my eyes...I bet he even remembers my name."It's sooo good to see you!" I mumbled.... I know she doesn't understand what I mean.I hear Andre honking... I let go of Anna and turned to face him."I'll be on my way, call me when you're done and I'll come pick you up!" That's not gonna happen."I will, bye" I waved him. He simply nods.... stares at me a few seconds then drives off. I released a long sigh... finally, he's gone."Debby, y
