A novel of Dangerously yours chapter 16
Why is everyone running?" She asked.
"Iris! It's you, what are you doing here when they're about to kill your mom?" The lady asked and her eyes widened.
"My mother?" She asked and before you knew it she started running home.
Truly the entrance to their small house is filled with people shouting and making some commotions.
"Excuse me!" She struggled passed the crowds and went to the scene where are mom was been dragged by two hefty men.
"Please! Tell big dog I'll pay but not now" her mom pleaded.
What's going on and who are this hefty men?
Too many questions clouded her brain,but it's not time for questions right now.
"Stop dragging my mother like that!!" She tried pulling her mom away from them,but she was pushed and she hit her head on a pole.
Blood gushed out immediately,but that didn't stop her.
"I said leave my mom alone! What do you want from her huh?" She asked,not really knowing why these men her after her mother.
She knew her mother would never stay away from trouble.
"She owes the big dog alot of money" one said and she raised her brows.
"Big what? What are you even talking about sef? I don't understand here!!!"
"Your mom gambled away her money and still borrowed a huge amount of money from the boss and now it's time for her to pay" Another said and Iris gulped.
She just hope the amount won't be too much.
"One million dollars!" The first guy said and her eyes widened like that of a watermelon.
"Mom!!!" She yelled and turned to her mother who looks like a living dead on the floor.
"It's, it's, it's a lot of money sirs" She shuttered.
"She should have thought of that, before borrowing it. She needs to pay or else the boss will have to kill her"
Iris sighed and exhaled. So much for a useless mom. The worsts part of it all is that if she succeeded in paying the money,her mom will never learn from her mistakes.
"I'll pay" she said, even though she doesn't know how.
"Just give me time, I'll pay the debt"
∞∞∞GREENWOODS MANSION∞∞∞
Caspian is sitting on the couch in his gaming room. He has been trying to call Isobel but she's not picking up.
"Did she give me her number for fancy?" He scoffed and continued trying the line.
Actually this is the twentieth time is calling her line.
Ken on the other hand is playing videogames and not paying attention to him.
"I think you should stop dialing the line or you'll end up bursting her phone" Ken finally talked and he rolled eyes.
"She gave me the number, meaning we can call each other right,so why is she not picking up or she just" He scoffed and finally dropped the phone.
"Rest bro!" Ken smirked and continued with the video games.
The door to the gaming room Burst open and and Julia came in.
"Caspian we seriously need to talk. Right now!!!" She demanded and he rolled eyes.
"What's the b¶tch doing here" he scoffed and ignored the both of them.
"Just leave Julia there's nothing to talk about. And it's over between us, that's even if we were in a relationship"
"Caspian you can't just end things like that. Wait is it because of her?!!!" She yelled.
"Get out of my house" he faced her, pointing at the door.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me what she has that I don't have?" She grabbed his collar.
"What do you think you're doing?" He tried pushing her hands off but she held him more tightly.
"She's an angel,an amazing soul on Earth but you; you're just a disgrace to girlhood,if there's any word like that"
"You're unbelievable Caspian. But to tell you the truth, you're mine and mine alone. And there's nothing on Earth that can stop it,not even an angel or an amazing soul" She said to his face.
Caspian successfully pushed her away and went out of the room.
"Find something better to do with your life and stop chasing after a d¶ck!" Ken snapped and she gave him the middle finger.
"Shut up d¶ckhead" she said and stormed out of the room..
∞∞∞°GREENS RESTAURANT°∞∞∞∞
The restaurant is the best and the most popular in the whole of NYC,but surprisedly it's empty because Pascal and his guest were the only ones in the restaurant.
He booked the whole restaurant for today.
"This is lovely Pascal,but isn't it too much?" Tia asked innocently with a charming smile.
"It's nothing Tia, it's a special night so let's enjoy it" He said and she smiled.
"Oh where is he? I mean my son, he's supposed to be here by now. He's so hard headed" She said checking her watch.
"My daughter acts hard headed some times. Kids of nowadays are so hard to look after, especially if you're a single parent"
"Am telling you" She said and they both laughed.
"Oh ! he's here. What took you so long?" Tia asked her son who just settled down on an available seat.
"I'm here now, aren't I; or is the so called Meetup over?" He faced Pascal and Tia cleared her throat.
"Damien! Show some respect" She cautioned and he scoffed.
"We just have to wait for my daughter to arrive and then...."
"Dad! I'm here" Courtney walked in, looking so gorgeous in her mini gown.
Pascal smiled and Tia looked at her speechless.
Damien immediately turned when he heard her voice and when they're eyes met and her eyes widened in shock,but he didn't seem surprised to see her.
"Damien!!!" She called and he smirked.
"What's the meaning of this?" She asked, facing her dad.
"Your mom and brother to be" Pascal introduced and it sounded like a bomb blast in her ears.
"The hell!!! There's no way it's gonna happen. Never" She said and ran out of the restaurant.
Pascal and Tia looked so confused and they both turned to Damien.
"What's the meaning of this?" Pascal asked.
"Why not ask her? M outta here" he walked out and Pascal and Tia exchanged confused glances.

After teaching Valerie a lesson to her satisfaction, she branched the mall and bought some few stuffs and now she's going home.
She didn't bring her car or the driver along and now there's no taxi to take her home. It's late already.
The Time is 11pm and everywhere is quiet.
She walked slowly, thinking about what she did to Valerie and she smiled.
"She deserved it big time"
She heard footsteps behind herself and she quickly turned but she saw no one.
Fear gripped her immediately and she hastened her footsteps.
Soon she saw shadows and the footsteps became louder and before you knew it she started running with everything in her.
"Oh gawd" She muttered and ran as her legs reached her head. She's never run like this before.
She began to feel dizzy cus of the way she ran and the masked guys were closing in on her.
She didn't know what to do anymore cus her head began to spin and she's seeing everything double.
She did the only thing that came to her mind, and that's calling the only name in her head.
It's as if her head is blank and the only thing in that blank space is calling just one name.
"Asher!!!!!!!!" She called as if a kind of magic was gonna happen.
Just like slow Mo; she slumped to the floor.
"Asher!!!" She called again with the little strength in her.
