"You can do it."
I shook my head and took two steps back. "I can’t... I’m sorry."
He sighed. "Why don’t you try?"
"I... I... I want to use the restroom, excuse ." I turned, and before he could say another word, I had excused myself.
I climbed the stairs, went to my room, and locked the door.
What a crazy bastard! He plans to kill . I nearly shit myself trying to lift the 5 kg ball, and now he’s asking to lift the 15 kg one. He doesn’t care about or my life. I won’t participate in this training anymore. I don’t care what happens. I will no longer do it.
"Ara," a knock ca at the door, followed by whispers. "Open the door, it’s ," Ruby called.
"Ruby?" I called.
"Yes?"
"Is that you?"
"Yes, open the door."
I went to the door and opened it; she entered. "Do you plan to hide in your room?"
"How did you know that?"
"You acted suspicious, so I followed you."
"I don’t plan to go back. I don’t want to train. I’ll just hide in my room until he gives up."
"Will he give up?"
"That’s the problem." After locking the door, I walked to my bed and sat down. "He won’t. He won’t give up; he hardly ever gives up."
"So what will you do?" She sat beside .
"I don’t know; I plan to hide."
"You can’t hide forever; you have to convince him to give up on this idea."
"He won’t listen to ," I pouted.
She exhaled and slumped on the bed. "You live such a complicated life, Ara. I envy you."
"Do you want this life? We could switch places; I’d be glad."
"You’d gladly give up your mates?"
"Yes! Sure!"
"That’s a lie; I don’t believe you. Who in their right mind could give up such wealth? Your mates are worth billions."
"Do you think I care about money?"
"Don’t you?"
"Well... I do; I like money, but... not to this extent."
"Do you want to switch then? You’ll beco Ruby, and I’ll beco Ara."
"Can you handle the brothers? I don’t think so."
"Yeah, I also don’t think so. I’d have gone crazy if I were in your shoes."
"Do you think I’m not crazy? Do you see as the sa person you grew up with? Haven’t you noticed so changes?"
She leaned up and fixed her gaze on ; she watched for a few seconds, then she broke and began laughing.
"What? Why?" I smiled. Why is she laughing?
"I’ve noticed changes, indeed," she acknowledged, shaking her head.
"What? What weird thing are you thinking of, Ruby?" I asked, staring at her suspiciously. She acts like this when she’s about to do or say sothing stupid.
"Yes, I’ve noticed how your boobs have gotten bigger since you arrived here." She reached for my boobs and tried to touch them, but I slapped her hand away.
"Shut up!"
"I’m not joking; I’ve been aning to talk to you about it. And not only that, your ass has gotten bigger. What is your secret?" She brought her face closer to mine. "Is it because you have multiple mates touching you? Is it their sperm? Do their sperm help your ass and boobs grow? Do I also need four bad boys to help my boobs grow? I really want mine to be as big as yours."
When I didn’t respond, she reached out to touch my breast again, but I slapped her hand away, then began to playfully hit her.
"Stop speaking nonsense. You are a spoiled child. I don’t wish to be rotten like you. Bryce is right, you’re a bad influence." I kept hitting her, and she kept hiding her face from my attacks.
We instantly stopped playing when a knock ca at the door.
I swallowed. "Who... Who is it?" I asked.
"It’s ," a familiar male voice answered.
"Who?" I asked again.
"It’s Jack," said the voice again.
"Jack?" My eyes instantly locked with Ruby’s.
"Jack?" we exclaid.
"Yes, Ms. It is I."
Jack is here. I stood up from my bed and rushed to the door. I opened it to find Jack there.
"Jack," Ruby called from behind.
"Hello, Ms." Jack smiled at Ruby.
"Jack... How... How are you here? What happened?" I asked, looking at him. He has lost so much weight; he looks terrible. Did this happen because of ?
He smiled again.
"Do you want to co in? We can speak in my room."
"Oh no, of course not."
"But you wish to speak to , right? You’re here to see ."
"Yes, I wish to speak to you."
"Alright, I’m ready to listen."
"I was asked to return to work," he said.
"Oh great, I’d love that. Did the brothers ask you to co back?"
"No, they gave a condition; it was difficult to repay the debt I owed them, so they said I could work as your driver until I repaid my debts."
"Great! I don’t have a problem with that."
"No... There’s a condition to it. I’m unsure how to say it," he said, shuffling his feet and hesitating.
His hesitation made curious; I exited my room and drew closer to him.
"Why? What happened?" I asked, giving him my full attention. "Tell , it’s my fault you got fired in the first place. It’s my fault that you’re in this ss. Tell what you want, and I’ll do it for you."
Jack lowered his head and closed his eyes for a minute before reopening them. "Can you reject ? I don’t wish to work for you," he whispered.
"I... I don’t understand," I muttered.
"I don’t wish to work for you. I’m being forced to pay $200k."
"Wait... Can you explain this from the start? Who is forcing you to pay $200k?"
"Alpha Parker. He said that since I can’t afford to pay my debts, I could return to being your driver."
"And?"
"But the condition is, the amount I’ll have to pay will go up to $200k."
"$200k???"
"Yes, but I can’t do that. I have kids to feed; my little ones have been sent ho from school because I couldn’t pay their fees. We’re about to be evicted from our apartnt; if we get evicted, we have nowhere to go. I can’t work without paynt. Alpha Parker is asking to work for months without pay. He said it’s my punishnt for disobeying orders. And also, raising the amount to $200k is too much for . I barely earn that amount in a year."
"I want you to reject so I can seek jobs elsewhere; at least I’ll be able to raise money for my apartnt so my family and I won’t get evicted. Forgive for coming to you for help; I had no choice. You were my last hope. Can you speak to Alpha Parker? Ask him to give more ti to pay off my debt. I’m willing to pay, but I just need more ti. Please," he pleaded.
"You don’t have to beg , Jack. You’re not at fault. You did nothing wrong. You shouldn’t be paying any amount," I groaned.
"I’m just... I just wish to..." Jack started to speak, but I didn’t wait for him to finish and imdiately stord into my room.
I picked up my phone and left. I went out of the house, stopped a taxi, and angrily went to Parker’s company.
He has got to be kidding . Why is he taking his frustrations out on others? Why do they keep hurting other people around ? I can’t take such abuse anymore! I’ve reached my breaking point; I’m sincerely tired.
