Chapter 6

Sarah is stocking the empty shelves before she's off duty. This time there are no customers in the shop so she's free to do this. Then she noticed a man in suit enters the shop, in the CCTV. She have to quickly finish what she's doing before the customer needs her service in the cashier.

The first thing she noticed is the shiny shoes of the man waking towards her. Slowly, she looks up. The handsome man is just standing there, without saying anything, just staring at her.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

The man said nothing. He slowly walks toward her then she remember those eyes. He's the man in the hospital. What does he need from her?

"Mister?"

"It's Don." The man said, finally. "My name is Don and you got something that I own."

Sarah starts to be nervous.

"Who are you?" Sarah asked, masking how nervous she is by pretending to be brave.

"You owe me five million dollars!"

Sarah feels like a bomb has been thrown at her. She can't hear the man's words now as her heart beat is so loud.

"Please sir, I don't know what you're talking about. You have mistaken me for someone else."

Don smirks. "I own you now Sarah."

"What do you mean? Stay away from me or I call the police!"

Don laughs. "What police?"

"The authorities!" Sarah warns.

"I am the authority!"

Sarah slowly moves backward, the man moves forward.

"You have nowhere to run Sarah."

"Please stay away from me!"

"Or what?"

"Or my boss will fire me from my job?"

"I see your boss is Mr. Ting."

"How do you know him?"

"I know every business men in this area. I also know you applied for a loan in my company but you did not pursue, because?"

"Please sir, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sarah.." Don sighed. "You're beautiful and you're a good employee but you're not a good liar. I can see how tensed you are so don't lie to me, okay? Where's my money?"

"I really don't know what you're taking about." Sarah insisted.

"Should I talk to Mr. Ting then to tell him that Sarah here, the beautiful Sarah, the good employee is richer than him with a five million dollars in her bank account?"

"Please, whoever you are, I don't really know what you're talking about."

"I just told you my name is Don. Yes, the big Don. People like Mr. Ting knows me very well. You might as well start getting to know me better because as I said I own you now. We can start getting to know each other by you telling me where is my money."

Sarah is speechless. She starts to worry, what will she do now?

"Babe, please don't look so stressed. I am not here to scare you or to make you cry. I am here to protect you. But first, I want my money back!"

"It's Jimmy! Jimmy has withdrawn the money!" Sarah has to tell the truth.

"Oh, you're such a sweet babe. But who's Jimmy? Your lover?" Don asked, his face looks dangerously pissed off, suddenly.

"No!" Sarah cries.

"Then who's Jimmy?"

"He was a childhood friend. We grow up in the same neighbourhood."

Don's face softened. He looks relieved. Don feels bad on how he treats his mate but this is the human way he knows how to get this woman, persuasion and control. The money she owes him is his advantage and he's going to use it. But he's doing this to cover his intentions. His pack may know soon that he have a woman now but they can't know she's his mate.

"I'll be waiting for you to discuss how to pay me back."

"Wait for me, where?"

"I know where to find you."

Don said before leaving the shop.

Sarah don't know what to do now. She don't know where to get the money to pay back Don. She needs to talk to Jimmy. She called Jimmy's phone but is now unattended. Jimmy promised to keep the rest of the money safe.

Sarah quickly leave her work place to find Jimmy now that she can't contact his number but he is not home so she decided to go where they used to hang out as kids, in an abandoned building. She's hoping to find him there.

"Jimmy!"

No reply so she she called again. "Jimmy?"

Sarah heard movements. "Jimmy? Is that you? Not funny Jimmy!"

"What is a beautiful lady doing in an abandoned building like this one?" A familiar voice said.

Sarah can't be wrong. What is Simon doing here? He is her customer this morning.

"What are you doing here?" Sarah asks, still surprised.

"Don't look so surprised. I live here."

"You live here?"

"Yes, I live here! Remember I told you about rents and my former job and to pray for me to get that job that requires me to wear a tie? In short I'm jobless at the moment. This place is good enough for me to live though. How do know I'm here?"

"I did not come here looking for you! I'm here looking for Jimmy!"

"Who's Jimmy?"

"He's my friend."

"And why did you come here looking for him?"

"Well when he's not home, this is the place he comes to. Jimmy and I and some kids in the neighbourhood used to hang out here."

"You hanged out here?"

"Yes."

"That explains the scent."

"What scent?"

"Nothing. I just feel like you've been here. I'm a psychic, you can say that."

"Not funny. But I hope your psychic ability discovered the room where it's warm to sleep at night."

"I did! Your scent is strongest in that room. When was the last time you came here?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I'm just asking. You don't have to be suspicious of me."

Sarah sighed.

"I need to go."

"Go where?"

"To find Jimmy!"

"I can help you with that."

Sarah glared at him.

"I'm serious."

"Thank you but no. I have to go."

"You won't find Jimmy without my help. He is not home, he is not here. He's somewhere you've never been to before."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Because I'm a man like Jimmy. Come on just let me go with you. I'm a good wolf, nothing to worry about me."

"Ha-ha!" Sarah said sarcastically.

"I'm telling you the truth, I'm a wolf, that explains why I know you've been here."

"Okay then wolf, lead me to Jimmy!"

"Yes ma'am."

Who would believe Simon is a wolf? She heard about the stories of werewolves but that is not true at all. But who cares what Simon says, she don't mind him tagging along with her if they could find Jimmy now.

"Where to, wolf?" Sarah asked Simon once they're out of the building.

"My wolf's senses is telling me we should go this way."

"Whatever!" Sarah rolled her eyes but she followed Simon. She thought, she have nothing to lose by following this man's lead. She herself have no idea where else to find Jimmy.

"Are we there yet?"

"Almost!"

"But this is a bar area and clubs. Why would Jimmy come here?"

"Where else would a man go if he suddenly have a lot of money?"

Sarah is stunned. "Who are you? And how do you know about the money?"

"What money?"

"The money..?"

"I am only saying this place is a possibility, a place for a man with a lot of money to hang out, not that old abandoned building."

Sarah is suspicious of Simon but she let's her suspicion rest for now. Finding Jimmy is her priority at the moment. She followed Simon enter a bar.

"Is he in here?"

"I don't know. Let's find out."

After some time of looking. "Looks like your dear friend is bar hopping. Let's move to the next bar." Simon suggested.

"Are you sure? Cos I still have to go to the hospital."

"Why would you go to the hospital? It's late."

"Nothing!"

"Okay. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine with me."

"I don't really know you."

"You can start getting to know me now."

"Why should I?"

"I'm a friend."

"You're a stranger."

Simon keeps quiet as if he is concentrating on something. "He's close. Come on."

Looks like Simon is right as she saw Jimmy flirting with few girls after he bought them some drinks. His face paled once he saw Sarah approaching him."

"Jimmy!"

Jimmy bailed off but Simon caught him leading to a commotion in the bar.

"Hey! What the fck man!" Jimmy struggled but he can't move when Simon pinned him on the wall.

Sarah catch up with them. "Jimmy, where is the rest of the money? Someone came looking for it! He wants the money back!"

Sarah is furious.

"Relax, Sarah. The money is safe. Can you tell this man here to let go of me?"

"I'm not letting you go unless you tell Sarah where is the rest of the money?" Simon said.

"It's in a safe place!"

"Liar!"

"The fck man!"

"I can tell you're lying. Give back the money to Sarah or I'll break your hands before breaking your legs!" Simon warns before applying pressure on the latter's arms.

"Ouch! Let me go and I'll tell Sarah what she wants to know."

Simon let go of Jimmy but still within his reach incase he plans to escape again.

"Sarah, I invested the money! I promise to give you a report tomorrow about the details of our investment!"

"Investment?"

"Sarah, he's lying." Simon interrupted.

"You shut up!" Jimmy told Simon which caused another commotion.

"You two stop, just stop!"

The two stopped. Sarah is really frustrated now. She don't know what to do.

"Jimmy, please, I need the money back." Sarah begged Jimmy.

"Okay Sarah. I will give you back tomorrow."

"You don't believe that, do you?" Simon whispers.

"I need to go see my mother now. I expect you to see me tomorrow Jimmy, with the money!"

"I promise!"

Sarah run out of that place. Simon followed her.

"Don't follow me!"

"Sarah!"

"I said, don't follow me!"

Simon stopped. She let Sarah go on her own.

Once Sarah reached the hospital, the nurse told her a guest is waiting for her in Mrs. Park's private room.

Sarah rushed to her mom's room. To her surprise, she saw a familiar figure

in the room. The last person she wish to see, the Don.

"You're late. What took you so long?" The Don asked. He don't look pleased that his property is out there wandering elsewhere while he is here looking after his mate's mother.
