“please Anna I’ll pay you”

Anna slumped on the couch as soon as she got home What was surprised to see her mother sitted on the table legs crossed. "And where might you be coming from miss" Sarah hacked as she scrutinized Her daughters outfit but nothing seemed so strange apart from the fact that it's was 2am!! Anna knew her mother's condition was not constant and was glad that she came around again but this really wasn't a good time as she smiled at her mom before speaking. "Uhm mom I..i..I..went with Mrs Paulina my boss at the law firm I told you I was working as an intern as, so there's this murder case we are working on and we found a lead on identifying the culprit so I had to go mom I'm sorry" she said not believing how smoothly and freely the lie came out of her mouth. Sarah smiled sweetly at the hard working daughter she had as she said "call your brother and let's have supper" Anna knew she was going to explode soon as she had spoken about the cause that made her mad. "Mommy let's go inside he has eaten" Anna said leading her mom back to her room. As soon as Anna got outside and lock the room, she heard her mom shout "Nicholas oh they took him Anna they took your brother open this door let me go help your brother" Anna hugged her legs as she sat on the floor crying, her mother was lost in her own world and she couldn't even help her get out what kind of daughter was she ? 'Papa would be disappointed knowing I can't help her' she thought to herself.

A credit alert!!!!! Annabelle's eyes beemed with joy as she unlocked her phone to check how much the Demon and his shabby looking friend had sent and was too dumbfounded to speak, she was sent both money and a phone number, not that she had any interest in the phone number as she wasn't even going to call it. This mr demon really outdid himself as he sent her more than she could pay her loan with. The Freak actually sent her a million and half. It felt surreal at first but then he's white isn't he ? 'And Oyinbo dey get money' she thought again. Was he hoping to make her acquaintance or something? She shook the thought off immediately "life no be Hollywood" she said to herself smiling at her account balance. She also didn't have to evacuate the house anymore and had enough to feed her mother for at least two months. "Papa would be proud" she said and wiped the tears off her cheeks before lying down on the carpet.

"Fuck you man" jare said as he couldn't believe his ears. Damon let out a soft chuckle before his expression turned sour "i bet she wouldn't text" looking at the phone in his hands. Jare could only suppress his laughter "so you mean that over dressed girl succeeded" he asked again to be sure but Damon shook his head instead "I didn't get an erection jare I only felt the urge to kiss her which is a completely normal thing" although the last words were merely whispers. Jare's eyes widened as he looked at Damon in utter despair "and you gave her that exorbitant amount and also your mobile number, speaking of which any girl would have texted as soon as she got it" jare said before picking up a glass of champagne and then continuing to beret his friend "sorry bro I guess your charm and grace couldn't work on her I guess our attitude is as thick as our accents then" one could hear his hysteric laughter as he ascended the stairs. Damon felt uneasy why wouldn't text? She promised to find him other ladies in her stead. "Jare" Damon called out to his friend who obviously heard but didn't reply he frowned before speaking in a rather calm voice "it seems you want to start packing jare" he pronounced the the name in a weird manner but that wasn't even the case, jare rushed downstairs immediately knowing the tycoon doesn't make empty threats " I'm leaving for the club will you come with or not" jare asked not trying to show any hint of fear but he failed as the other man seemed to have caught on. Damon walked to his friend and took his phone from his back pocket of the blue Jean trouser he had on. "Send me her data, phone number, house address, credit card number, any medical history she has everything jare I wanna see it all" Damon said without even realizing how desperate he sounded, jare on the other hand already knew how madly infuated With the girl "I already sent it do yourself a favor and check your tab i won't be home not Untill tomorrow i have to party before the party" jare said not casting his completely smitten friend another glass. The other man poured himself a whiskey while scrolling on the tab he held in his hand.

"Good morning mommy"Anna said as she saw her mother seated in the living room quietly it seemed as though she was still stable. Sarah on the other completely ignored her daughter's existence as he concentrated on the blank tv screen, the teenage girl noticed this and tried to ease up the tension "mom pass me the remote in your hands" she said smiling at the middle aged woman who in turn threw the remote straight to Anna's head. "Leave my sight I don't know you I'm watching my favorite show " Sarah said and shifted her focus back to the blank tv. Anna sighed and left for her room leaving the clearly occupied woman with the blank tv show she was watching or claimed to watch. 'What if mother could recover' Anna thought and imagined how blissful her life Would be, she decided to give her mothership recovery a final shot and went online to try consulting doctors, she held her phone on the right hand then a pen and paper on the left to jot down sights. She scrolled through several medical websites and pages. The medical bills were outrageously high! The lowest one she could find was 900k she had only about 700k left Morever it was for feeding and upkeep since she was jobless at the moment. She bit her lips and sighed "even with the massive jackpot I bagged I can't help ma" she exited the search engine on her phone and was about to click on the switch button when a notification popped up. It was from an unknown number but the sender made himself known as Anna read aloud "you got the money and discarded your own words so easily" she needn't be told that it was the daunting British guy. Anna recalled how she had promised to find a girl that would mesmerize him. She typed a few words but deleted it afterwards. Then another message popped up.

(Convo between the duo)

Damon: you read the message now give a reply Anna

Anna: firstly i was contemplating on how to put my reply and also I thought you weren't interested in US.

Damon:I'm starting to think you were deceptive

Anna: I'm sorry sir I lied again, I don't have a circle of friends where I can select a girl for you, but I'd gladly make it up to you

Damon: By doing what .?

Anna:well anything as long as it isn't immoral

Damon: well you could be of some use …..(sends a wink)

Anna : WDYM???

Damon: I'm attending a social event on Thursday that was the main point of the selection to find a date who knows nothing about me but I was disappointed.

Anna :why would a narcissist like you tell me this

Damon: be my date Anna

Anna: what sort of event is that.

Damon : A bachelor and bachelorette party combined, my friend is getting married and instead of throwing a bachelor's party he combined both cause his bride has no friend and was his foster sister.

Anna: why would you need a bland girl like me to be your date

Damon:I'm the only single dude in my circle and you are the least objectable idea of a date I've seen so far

Anna: I can't sir I'm sorry

Damon: please Anna I'll pay you
