Anastasia POV;
I scratch my head out of frustration why is math so difficult and the hell why I even choose this subject, ohh yes because someone wants a good future with lots of money
Yes I do need a lot of money to get out of this old and small house this isn't like a home anyway after mom's death my father always get drunk and abuses us at night my 12-year-old brother and we both suffered so much (I'm 19 years old)
Suddenly he stops coming Home, and now I'm the bread winner I do two part-time jobs and thanks to my sharp brain I always get full marks and that's how I got scholarship to learn in one of the top University I do feel kind of cheap attending everyday classes and pretending to be normal like every one else but in reality I couldn't even afford next month's electricity Bill
Yes my life is pretty much fu***d up I also had a brother to take care of he's kind and sweet and very understanding and more intelligent than me
Jia "hey'morning"
Anastasia" ohh… Morning didn't know you can make it to today's class"
Jia"nope I guess my soul is still somewhere else "
Jia is my only friend in this whole world who knows my situation and still be my friend though she sometimes does offer me help with cash I refuse I don't want favours might I get used to it
We are attending our class as usual it's 7;00 am in the morning today's a long day again
................
................
................
................
After completing all my classes I went straight to my part-time job no 1 it's a cashier job for a convenience Store it's more than 3 months I'm working here, and my other job is waitress at a fancy restaurant at downtown
----------------
It was a normal day until god decides otherwise when I was returned home from a tiring day usually Leo (my brother) would be home but he's not in his room
Now where do I find him God Leo you must stay safe I only got you
I ran out immediately to find my brother I tried reaching his phone, but it's off 📴 **sorry the number you are trying is currently....**
Damn it where are you I call his school teacher while looking out at side's of road
In call "hello who is this"
"hey. I'm Leo's sister has Leo left school safely"
I know the answer it's 11 o clock who would be in school right now I swear if there's any bullying happening to my brother
"Yes he left like every student"
"he's not home yet, and I can't even find him can you please tell me some of his friends number please it would be a great help"
"I'm sorry dear I'm not allowed to share anyone's personal number I hope he will be home soon sorry"
"But..."
She hung up
**phone vibrates**
it's an unknown number
I picked up
"Hello is this Leo's sister?"
I took a deep breath not knowing what's next
"hello? Can you hear me?"
"Yes this is Anastasia Leo's sister who are you and where is my brother?"
"he's with US I'm sending you the address come fast"
"okay"
**hung up**
..........................
I went to the sent address but I didn't knew it was a bar and that's a fancy one
................
I went inside the bar and was greeted by some staff members all this people minding their own business dancing making out and very loud atmosphere it's really dark in here
One staff approaches me "good evening madam how can I help you?"
"Good evening I'm here for my brother he might be somewhere up I guess "
He then bow politely and went back to his designated work though I find this atmosphere quite weird it's not like I've never been to bar before but here it feels so weird like I can't even describe what's wrong anyway I don't need to know I just want my brother to be safe,, and we go back home.
I then excuse myself and went upstairs it's really fascinating everywhere I really want to know what Leo's doing here
I was stopped by this giant Indo-modern type gate well it's interior says so that this is vvvip private room I took a deep breath and knock on it after a few seconds someone opens the door for me to enter and my eyes immediately search for my brother
But what I noticed upon entering their vvvip private room is that people here is literally not normal the very person who opens the door for me is guiding me in the center of the room as it's quite a big place and baby I can assure you that it's definitely some dangerous people
I saw my brother kneeling, both his hands has been tied up on back of his shoulder his head down and there is one man who is sitting in a fancy chair he's wearing a white shirt and pants and he's wearing a mask to cover his face he had a tattoo on his chest that's not quite clear to see I can see those black inks on his pale skin he had that jade finger ring in his left hand
"Is she your family?"
That man asked my brother and that's when Leo turns to see me it's quite clear he doesn't want me here his eyes are saying that quite clearly
I walk close to Leo and tried to open his hands one of his men tried to stop me, but I jerked his hand away and freed my bother and helped him up anyway that ink man was watching every move very clearly I can sense it though I wasn't looking at him when helping my brother and I can tell you he's someone you do not want to mess with
"yes I am!!! And to be more clear why is my brother kneeling there with bruise all over his face I swear to god if any of you..........."
"Anastasia brown you owe us 1 million dollars"
"WHATTT!!!???? Are you kidding me"
I never took $10 let alone $1 million dollars I quite don't understand this situation what is this man actually trying to say
He stands from his chair walking towards us standing on feet away
"Precisly your father lost 1 million dollars in casino and is now on runaway, so how are you going to pay?"
This man has the audacity to ask money that we didn't receive now it makes sense why that old fart isn't coming home anymore in any possible way I don't see a reason as to why do we, who are already suffering so much does have to pay for something we didn't get this world is sure cruel for someone like us
"Precisly the money that he lost doesn't matter to us,,, and he has abandoneded us long time ago if you can find him you can take all your money from him but not us and do you think you can get away with what you have done with my brother"
"Hahh you sure are cheeky brat..."
"Let them be max they are just kids anyway"
Someone from the front gate just enter and say it this man is also wearing white shirt and black pants it looks so elegant on him, he is not wearing any mask and his features are way beautiful than any in this room I can guarantee that for sure he's wearing a bracelet that's quite exquisite he's surely tall furthermore his brown eyes never leaving mine marching right towards us without wasting any second
