Jack couldn’t believe his ears. He’d been beaten up badly when he wasn’t able to pay up the other ti. Seeing that they ca with baseball bats only ant they ca for business and only God knows how long they will have to beat him for before they let him go.
Jack glanced around but didn’t see many people passing around. It was extrely late in the dark and he couldn’t help but wonder how they got to find him.
’Have they been stalking ?’ He couldn’t help but wonder.
"Aren’t you the one I’m talking to?" Titans roared, swinging the bat around, unable to wait to make Jack kiss it. "Tell you have my money boi," he finished, roared so loudly that Jack had to take a few steps back.
"Titanus, I don’t have your money tonight. You know what? Give two more days, I promise I will get you your money, I beg of you," Jack pleaded, taking more steps backward.
Titanus glanced at his n, already figuring out what Jack was intending to do.
All of a sudden, they burst out in laughter as if they’d just heard the greatest joke of all ti.
"Can you hear what this bastard is saying to ? He wants two more days before he can pay us," Titanus mocked as they continued to cackle like hyenas after they made a prey succumb to them.
"I really can’t give you the money today, Titanus! I don’t have anything on right now. I promise, two days. Give two more days and I’ll have the money. You don’t even need to co et for it. I will personally co to you to give it back, with interest of course," Jack continued to plead, despite knowing his pleading was going to deaf ears.
He’d finally been able to pay back the fifty million debt he owed to Anastasia. But to do that, he had to ask for money from different kinds of notorious loan sharks.
He couldn’t find himself a job since the whole dia was aware of what they’d done to Anastasia. No one wanted to give him a job and he had to rely on Michelle, who was the only mber of the family that earned a good amount of money by sleeping with all kinds of n.
Even so, he couldn’t pay off the seven million dollars he owed to the loan sharks he borrowed money from.
"You think I ca here to play boi?!" Titanus questioned him, already feeling impatient.
"Let’s just beat him up. When he feels the pain, he’ll co to realize we didn’t co here to joke around," one of Titanus’ lackeys suggested and the others imdiately agreed.
A smirk pulled on Titanus’ lips, and just before he could give out the order, Jack had already bolted from there, running so fast his legs neatly touched his shoulders.
Instantly, they chased after him, without caring if they attracted any attention.
Even if they did, no one would be interested in ddling. They were hoodlums after all, so the rest of the public tore their eyes from them and minded their business.
Jack continued to run, throwing away the plastic bag that contained the food he was supposed to give to Michelle. His main priority was to run and never let them catch him. Else, he would be completely done for.
As he ran, he placed obstacles in their way despite the fact his heart hamred against his chest—aiming for a good escape.
"Run faster, dammit!! He’s getting away?" He could hear Titanus roar out another order.
Thankfully for Jack, his long athlete legs ca in handy. Not before long, he was able to outrun them—hiding inside a trash can as he watched them run past him without sighting him.
When he was sure they’d completely disappeared, he stepped out, watching his back before running back to the hospital.
"I need to pay them back as soon as possible. Even if I have to steal, I’ll do it!"
Jack rushed back into the hospital, sighting two policen outside Michelle’s hospital. When the policen saw him, they rely greeted him with a brief nod before he entered the room.
"Why are there two policen outside?" He questioned, taking in their unreadable faces.
"Anastasia has charged both and mother with a cri, so the police are here to arrest ," Michelle bit out in anger, her fist clenching the bed sheet.
"What? What cri did you commit?" Jack asked in confusion.
"When we beat her up years ago. She had a miscarriage, and now she’s suing us for murder," Alia was the one to respond this ti around.
Jack pald his face in frustration.
First, it was Michelle getting a miscarriage. Second, notorious loan sharks were after him. And now, both his mother and sister have been charged with murder.
’When are these all going to end?’ He wondered, resisting the urge to pull his hair in frustration.
"You can call Theodore and explain to him that you’ve lost the pregnancy and it was the fault of Anastasia and her sister," Gary suggested, also not happy with how things were turning out. "Anastasia should be the one in jail, not you since she was the one that killed your child," he reasoned.
A smirk pulled on Michelle’s lips as she ca up with an idea.
"Due to my health condition, they can’t take to jail now. They’ve given two days to recover and once that ti is over, both Mother and I are going to jail." Michelle pulled herself to sit more properly on the bed. "You’ve given an idea, Gary. I can make Theodore believe that Anastasia and her sister were the reason for my miscarriage. And I can charge them for murder."
Michelle reached for her phone, excitent buzzing in her chest as she dialed Theodore’s phone number.
’Finally, Anastasia.’
