“Okay, let her go,” Nicolai said, and Mary was untied, “Seeing you’re such a poor mouse, I will add you two more days. Don’t try escaping and do not. I repeat, do not try involving the police.”
“Okay,” Mary said, sweating.
It wasn’t hot, and her experience with these men had brought her down to her knees.
They had been watching her. How stupid of her to think that she could escape from a mafia gang leader.
She was just grateful that he had given her more time. She had to give him a little cash to calm him down for a while.
“Two days, and we will be back. We won’t be that kind next time,” Nicolai said, and he and his men rushed out.
Their car sped out, and it seemed like everything was okay, except that Mary had just been held at gunpoint for money she didn’t even use.

“What happened?” she asked, but then it dawned on him that Arlan must have lost his job. “How are we going to survive?”“What do you mean by that? Can’t you support the two of us while I get back on my feet?” Arlan asked.“I am thinking of resigning from my job,” Christabel said with a smile, before she looked somewhere else as if thinking thoughtfully.Arlan frowned, and then asked in confusion. “Why would you do that?” There was a part of him that got worried too, if Christabel really did resign.“Have been telling you that I feel out of place there, and you keep on telling me to hold on. That place is taking a toll on my mental health, and I know it won’t be long before I have a mental breakdown.” Christabel answered.“Can’t you hold on for a little while?

The fetus had been three months old, and she couldn’t tell whether the child was Roy’s or Stan’s. she separately told both of them about the pregnancy, and Roy said it couldn’t be his.“How can you be so sure?”“I know because I can’t impregnate a lady,” came the answer. Christabel couldn’t prove whether or not he was lying, so the only other option was pinning the pregnancy on Stanley.His mother wasn’t going to let her son’s life be changed because of pregnancy and demanded a DNA test to confirm if Stan was really the father of the child.She had heard rumors of Christabel hanging out with Roy and suspected that Christabel might be clinging on ropes.Christabel only agreed to the test because of the pressure from her mom to do so. A part of her also wanted to know who the dad of her unborn child was. The results showed Stan was

“Why exactly were they beating you up?” Camilla asked with concern. What if it happened again? “Because I asked the kids not to do as they requested. I even called the police, who raided one of their meet-up points, and their leader was arrested. He was the one who had been there on that fateful day,” Nicolai said. “I don’t know how they knew I made the call.” “Mmmh. Maybe they have an agent within the police department because there can’t be any logical explanation,” Camilla said. “If that’s the case, it means I am not safe at all. They can come back for me anytime,” Nicolai said, thinking on his feet. “It means I might not be safe as well,” Camilla said after a while, and Nicolai held her hand as if giving her some assurance. The idea of forming a mafia gang was conceptualized there, “A gang can only be taken care of by a gang,” Nicolai had said. He also wanted to give security to the lady who had saved his life.
