Chương 4: Homeless Wretched Girl

CHAPTER 4: Homeless Wretched Girl

Xavier POV

"The fuçk have you done??" I asked Eduardo, the guard who stood in front of me.

"How could you bring me some random girl instead of the girl I asked you to chase??" I added in fury.

He was my most trusted guard, I expected him to get things done properly without a speck of dust but he messed it up.

"Forgive my mistake, boss"

The girl in the room was someone I didn't know, I had asked him to bring me some other girl but he brought some unknown girl making me furious.

"Eduardo? You look like you are tired of this job" Arianna said with a cold glare. Get that gag lost from her mouth right away!" Ariana added, he bowed slightly then scurried back into the room.

"What do we do now?? Mabel would have surely disappeared," Ariana said, facing me.

"I'm in this fucking situation because of you, do you get it?? You better find Mabel, and let's get this thing over with," I yelled and stormed out of the warehouse.

I expected to meet Mabel here but met some girl instead; Ariana is driving me crazy!!

I stopped and turned, "Don't let that girl go until I say so" I said to Arianna, my voice cold with anger.

"Xavier!! Xavier!!" She yelled after me, but I didn't stop, nor did I respond; I just headed to the car and sat down, resting my head on the seat, and sighed deeply.

Thinking about everything, how Ariana had proposed to find me a woman who would help me till I sort out my shits, she ended up talking about her dear friend who is willing to do the job.

We agreed on the payment right on the spot without delay. I insisted on giving out half of the payment and after the job was done, she would receive the other half but she didn't agree. I paid the full money since I had no time but after paying her a billion dollars, the bitch ran away with my money, and for weeks, I had been hunting for her but couldn't find her; ransacking the whole country, we finally got a wind of where she was hiding.

With the guards chasing after her, they ended up bringing another girl to me.

A billion dollars!!! I can't lose that huge amount of dollars, not to a useless bitch like her! I have to find Mabel, but then I need the job done as quickly as possible, or else I go down even without finding Mabel.

The car door opened making me wake up from my fantasies.

It was Ariana. I stared at her with a cold glare, but her gaze was cool and calm; it told me she seemed to have a solution already.

"What the hell is it? Just spill it out already!" I yelled as it was so obvious I was not ready for calm conversations.

"Just calm down, Xavier; I'm sorry, I thought she could be trusted. I know how we get out of this mess; remember, it's me, Ariana," she said, and I scoffed.

The same thing my younger sister has said that got us into this mess; she's saying that again, it only makes sense to me that she's trying to get me into more mess.

"Ariana! You better keep your mouth shut if you are going to add to my distress" I said with a cold and authoritative voice.

"Okay! Okay!! I will spill it!" She yelled, and I focused my direction at her side, ready to hear what she was about to say.

I really need a solution right now! Any fucking solution that could work at the moment.

"Trust me, it's gonna work out," She said.

Ariana has always been the type to beat around the bush like she's doing when she has nothing really serious to say; she's just trying to waste my time and make me yell at her later on; she never gets tired of my yelling even if they hurt at most times.

She came closer to me like there was someone else in the car that was more eager than me to hear what she had to say.

She leaned closer to my ear and whispered some words to it.

"What??" I yelled and she smiled.

"Ariana? Are you crazy!! You've done enough with Mabel, yet you want to start another?? You want me to waste another billion dollars?? When you know I barely have one with the situation I'm in??" I yelled.

"She won't be able to resist. It was my mistake getting Mabel to do this, but this girl can; she looks like she will die for some dollar notes," Ariana said, and I tried to process what she just said.

She is quite right. The girl I saw earlier looked like she needed money badly and would do anything for a billion dollars. I wasn't worried about the girl, I was wondering if she would really fit to do what I want.

To hell with who she was, Arianna was right, she'd die for a million dollars.

"Are you thinking about it?? Trust me, she's the one," Ariana said, but I gave no response.

I got out of the car without a word and headed back to the warehouse as Ariana followed behind me.

"Bring the girl to me," I said to Eduardo and he headed into the room immediately.

He came back with her moments later; Ariana knew what to do; she smiled and walked up to the lost girl whose face looked like it had gone pale overnight.

She had bruises on her face which angered me.

"Did you hit her?" I asked Eduardo who was beside her as I was fuming in rage yet trying to keep calm. Her face looked like she had gotten a very good beating before she was brought here.

"No boss, we didn't touch her like you had instructed," Eduardo said.

I stared at the girl who looked like she had no problem with what he had said. She doesn't look like someone who would stay silent while being accused falsely.

"Sorry for keeping you here, I'm sorry," Ariana said with a smile plastered on her face as she wrapped her arms around the girl's shoulder.

The girl shuddered, obviously afraid of Arianna.

"C'mon, I mean no harm," Arianna said, widening her smile.

The girl's eyes darted from Arianna to me and back from me to Arianna.

"Let's go," I simply said and walked out while Ariana dragged the lady along, chatting with her on our way to the car.

In just a few minutes, she got relaxed with Arianna and it looked like they became friends already.

She got into the car with us and they made me sit in the passenger seat while they both occupied the whole back seat.

I didn't object, I just have to get her to do what I fucking want, until then….I want to be this calm man I am.

I gave the driver the signal to ignite the car and he did.

They talked all through the ride to the house; I overheard some of their unnecessary chit-chatting and learned that the girl's name was Laura.

We got to the mansion and Ariana gave an order for the cooks to make some food for her.

The meal was done in minutes, and she was escorted to the dining room.

She was surprised as she couldn't comprehend the situation, the reason why we were treating her this way was not understandable to her.

I could see the look in her eyes when she saw the numerous meals placed on the table. I could tell instantly that she was wretched. It made me smirk.

Ariana was right after all; she sat down to eat, and I watched her eat as well as Ariana, whose smile had disappeared from her face; the smile had been replaced with a smirk.

"You are homeless right?" I asked as she paused with her spoon still in the air.

The question came as a blow to her as she stared at me wondering what the hell I wanted to prove with that.

"Of course she is," Ariana said with a smirk as Laura stared at the two of us, with her mouth still half opened and spoon lingering in the air.
