Capítulo 3: 3
*************
Megan stood in the kitchen doing the dishes as her thoughts ran wild. She was going to ask him for a specific amount. This would set her family free from all their financial issues and her brother Marcus could be released from jail after getting arrested for petty theft a year ago.
She sighs wondering if Roman would agree to the amount she had in mind.
"He needs to agree to this. I saved his life and I'm sure he is loaded!" She spoke to herself nervously. "Plus he probably stole that money from bad people...so it's fine if he helps me out...I'm a good person."
Megan sighs and enters her bedroom where he was still asleep.
"My goodness...I hope he really doesn't die here." She says to herself noticing he was sweating very much. His lips were dry and he looked like he was uncomfortable.
She takes a cloth and wipes his sweat gently. "Don't die here." Her heart ached as worry filled it. She was afraid he was dangerous but He was still human and seeing someone suffer like this was bad.
Roman was in a light sleep as her voice filled his ears, the sound of it soothed him and he started feeling a little more comfortable as she wiped his sweat off his forehead. His breathing became heavier and he felt his body grow warmer as her presence made him feel safe, in this dream like state he would have believed she was his angel even if it was just for one brief moment.
"I'm serious. You have to get better." Megan wondered if he would really recover without medical attention. Her eyes dart to his arm where a long scar was. "You must have tons of scars..." She gently touched it feeling the healed scar made her heart break more.
He felt her touch on his arm and he flinches slightly as she touched the scar. It was a large scar that ran all the way from his elbow to his shoulder. He groaned slightly as he moved away from her touch, "It's nothing serious, you don't need to worry" he said as he looked back at her with his eyes slightly drooping.
Megan moves her hand away, "You're awake."
His eyes fluttered slightly as he opened them again. His eyes were heavy and he sighed as he sat up trying not to exert himself too much, "I was in a light sleep.." he looked at her and he rubbed his eyes.
She nods before asking how he was feeling.
"My body really hurts but other than that I feel a little better" he looked at her and his eyes started drooping again as he felt himself beginning to feel tired, he tried to keep himself awake.
"...I actually wanted to talk to you about something." She gulps playing with her hands nervously.
he blinks quickly so he could stay awake and he looks up at her as he speaks, "Hm?" He blinks again but the exhaustion is taking over him.
"I want to ask you for something."
He nods his head slightly, he thought he knew what she was about to ask him, "What is it?"
"You Said you'd pay me for my help. Honestly I don't want to ask for money because that's not why I decided to help you. I didn't want to gain anything from helping someone on need...but." She looks down feeling ashamed she had to do this.
Roman could see her hesitant reaction and he felt bad that he was even the reason why she felt this way. He sighed and he spoke with a tired voice, "Tell me, what is it that you need?"
"Half a million dollars."
Megan knew that she was asking for alot but this was her only chance of starting over with her family. They could move away from here and start a new life after paying off all their loans and debt.
his eyes widened for a second before he started to laugh a little, "Is that all?" He smiled slightly and he rubbed his eyes.
"W-what do you mean is that all?" She was shocked at his reaction. Did that amount not even cause a small dent on his fortune? Was he thay wealthy such an amount was nothing to him at all?
Roman nods his head slightly, that amount of money meant nothing to him. He was so rich that half a million would be considered pocket change in comparison to what he had. He chuckled slightly,"Yeah that's all...is that all you need?"
She shakes her head in disbelief. Just who was this man before Her? How did obtain such wealth? What type of mob boss was he? What did her do exactly? Drugs? Guns? Human trafficking?!
Megan felt like she was getting tangled up in things she had no business being in. Deep down she could hear alarms going off in her head as she stares at the handsome man before Her.
"That's all." She said after shaking away her thoughts. She didn't want to know. She wanted to not think about it.
Roman could notice the wide eyed reaction Megan was having and he sighed as he rubbed his eyes. The sudden movement was starting to make him feel more tired and his exhaustion was slowly creeping on him again. He looked at her and smiled slightly "Are you sure you don't want more? I'm a wealthy man, 500k is nothing...you can have more if you need"
Megan stares at his icy blue eyes, "That would be all the money I need."
He nods his head and he leans back against his pillow. He was getting incredibly tired and he felt his body start to relax. After a few seconds he nods his head again, "Okay, I'll be sending a transfer with the money and I'm sure your financial troubles will be gone" Roman closes his eyes again and he groans as the exhaustion sets in again.
"Thanks." Megan gets up turning to leave as she felt overwhelmed by everything happening right now.
Roman tries to stay awake a few seconds longer but the exhaustion gets the better of him and his body falls back on the bed. He drifts into sleep and his breathing becomes deeper and heavier as he starts to sleep.
***********************
Megan was on the phone with Her friend Lola. She didn't want to go to work for a few days to take care of Roman and since Lola was the person who got her the job at the bar she would be able to tell her boss on her behalf.
"So you're taking three days off?" Lola asked sounding skeptical, "Megan you never take time off."
Megan sits on the couch, "Yeah, that's why I am now."
"Okay but what's the reason?"
"I have something going on right now."
Lola laughs, "If you don't want to say it's fine. I will always interrogate you once you're back."
Megan chuckles as she hangs up. She was feeling anxious as time went on. The man in her room promised her such a large sum of money, blood money. She wondered if she made a huge mistake asking him for the money but then again this money would change her life.
