Chapter 16

The next day, Mona was awakened by the creaking sounds made by the door. It seems that Mr Santiago was back after leaving yesterday.

Mona had tried to find several ways of leaving but it all led to a dead end. She can't just give up like that.

As Mona was still looking around everywhere to see if there was a way for her to escape, she heard heavy footsteps behind her. 

When she looked up it was a woman wearing a white coat like a doctor or Lab scientist. What was a doctor doing here?

"Welcome, Doctor Lisa. I need a thorough check on her to determine if she is untainted" Mr Santiago said.

"Okay, Mr Santiago. Give us a few minutes" Doctor Lisa said.

Mona wanted to laugh so hard at their stupidity but she rather kept quiet and let the doctor examine her as a smirk played on her face.

Would they still want her after finding out she was no longer a virgin? She wondered.

"Mr Santiago, there seems to be no presence of hymen," the doctor said after she finished testing Mona.

Mr Santiago was confused." Speak in human language, Lisa".

"What I meant was that this lady is no longer a virgin. Her hymen had been broken" Doctor Lisa explained.

"Are you fucking kidding me? How can she not be a virgin in less than three weeks? I saw her result personally and her father assured me that she was intact!" Mr Santiago roared in anger.

"Are you dumb, Mr Santiago? Can you hear yourself talking?" Mona mocked without a hint of fear.

"What did you just say, little girl? Do you want to die?"

"Why would you kill me when your money is still with my father? If you kill me there would be no evidence that I wasn't a virgin" Mona smirked.

"Do you think I fucking care!" Mr Santiago was furious.

Although Mona was acting fearless, deep down she was on the verge of collapsing. She was only bold enough to challenge Mr Santiago because she knows he would never play with his money.

But still, she doesn't have to push his button, so Mona kept quiet as Mr Santiago raged in anger.

"I will destroy him! Go to every gambling den in this area and make sure to get him back. I want my money back! I don't care how you do it…get my money back from that fool!" 

"And you! You will stay here till I get my money back from your father. If I can't get my money, I will sell both of you to get my money back!" 

It was then Mona knew she was in trouble. She needs to leave this place or she can kiss goodbye to her life or her freedom.

What would she do? She needs to get out of here and contact Ella.

***********

George stared at the man who just won the game. This wasn't the deal! Greg said he was going to win! That was why he used all the money to place the bet. Greg promised it was a sure win.

"You can't be the winner! I paid for a sure number! I can't lose! Where is that fucking Greg!" George was about to go insane.

Immediately he got the cash yesterday, Greg had called to say the game had been set in less than an hour. He had to rush home to collect the other half of the money so it would be complete.

George had been sure he would win. At least that was what that fucking Greg told him. Now, he had just lost all the money. He had lost fifty million dollars in just one bet! 

How could Greg do this to him? He didn't even spend a dime from the money. He hasn't even paid the debtors. If he had known, he would have just paid the debtors and enjoyed the remaining money.

He was so frustrated that he ran in search of Greg. He has to get his money back. He got to Greg's house and started pounding on the door.

"Who the heck wants to pull my door down!" Greg barked from inside the house.

"Fuck you, Greg! You had better come out before I knock down your door!" George swore angrily.

Greg opened the door and was met by a punch from George. Greg's nose immediately started bleeding from the punch.

"What the hell was that for, George!" Greg asked in annoyance.

"That was for deceiving me into losing all my money, Greg! I lost my fucking money!" George wailed, staring at Greg murderously.

"Wait…your money? Didn't you say it was your boss' money? Why would you be wailing over someone else's money?"

"Fuck you, Greg! That was my hard-earned money! I worked and schemed for that money" George said in anger. It doesn't matter anymore who owes the money, he needs to get it back.

"Are you kidding me, man? How could you get such a huge amount of money?" Greg asked.

His phone began to ring. George was on the ground wailing at his loss. What is he going to do now?

After answering his call, Greg looked at the wailing George and walked up to him.

"Did you take money from Mr Santiago in exchange for your daughter?" Greg asked.

"How did you know? It doesn't matter anymore. That's the money that I just lost! All of it!" George continued grieving.

"It matters dude, you are in big shit! I just had a call now from the gambling den that Mr Santiago's men are looking for you. They said you gave Mr Santiago a tainted product" Greg said staring at George's horrified expression.

"Tainted…what…is the meaning of that?" George asked." That can't be right! She was still a virgin when I last checked!"

George was so filled with horror that he didn't wait a minute with Greg anymore. How could Mona not be a virgin? She doesn't have a boyfriend!

What happened? How did she lose it all of a sudden? Could it be…?

Was it that time she ran away from home? Did she know about his plan all along? This was bad! He was in deep trouble.

The money was lost in gambling and Mona wasn't even a virgin! How was he going to pay back the fifty million dollars?

He needs to run away….far away.
