His captured collateral, His downfall

The heavy down pour stormed on the roof of the tiny house of Mason Gabriel, Amelia could peep through the rusted metallic windows of her father’s tiny building, rain pouring down the detached zinc into their room, Amelia imagined if the rain gets worse they will be in the street homeless, she prayed for the rain to stop. Amelia a 15 years old girl who has only known poverty since she was born, she has never stepped into a classroom she has never celebrated birthdays or eaten three square meals all she has known is suffering she grew up in a poverty reeked building always wishing to God that she can also live in those tall beautiful buildings around their houses and go to school like she see her mates doing. She runs out every morning to watch children carrying school bags on their backs with their pairs of white socks and bright shoes, she wished she could do the same but life hasn’t been fair to Mason Gabriel Amelia’s father. “Amelia” Mason called she ran quickly to answer her father, Amelia I have failed you I see you everyday watching your mates go to school and I have been unable to educate you I’m sorry my child Mason mutters “dad you haven’t failed me someday I am gonna make you and mum proud she said excitedly, tears drip down Ruby’s eyes Amelia’s mother poor child she whispers. Mason walk down a muddy road holding some documents in his hands and walked down to a black Mercedes Benz with a tinted glass with teary eyes he pleaded I’m so sorry for defaulting please leave my family out of this, he went on his knees pleading, the car drove off with speed Mason remained on his knees sobbing, he mutters I can’t bear any more harm coming to my family than this I can’t allow them take them away from me. Ruby Gabriel a beautiful woman in her late forties had always been so cheerful and supportive to her husband Mason, she whisper to her husband we can talk to to her she said in a teary voice using the edge of her wrapper to wipe out her tears, she had never imagined a day like this will come. “Amelia “ she calls out in a trembling voice “mum “she could see her mother trying to hide her tears, her father bending down his head she worriedly called out “mum” “dad” Is everything okay? Mason raised up his head, his eyes were red, it has never been okay since I signed that document, What document? Amelia looked deeply into their eyes feeling lost, Please what is going on, Mason picked up some papers on the ground trying to give it to Amelia when they heard a heavy push on the door, the wooden door paved way immediately and three men on suits with dark glasses entered one of them spoke Mr Dominic said he could no longer wait we have come to claim the collateral is either you give her to us or you pay up your loan, Amelia was stunned “loan” she said faintly what loan? Ruby fell to the ground crying and pleading please we need more time she is only 15, who cares? one of the men on suits mutters, Amelia was confused she didn’t know what to think just 15 she thought what are my parents talking about, Mason finally got the courage to speak I borrowed money from Mr Dominic, there is nothing I can do the money has piled up over the years I needed the money to pay your mum’s hospital bills I ran out of options I didn’t want your mum to die, I didn’t have a choice and now he is demanding for you since we are unable to pay the debt, Me? She screamed sobbing quietly she didn’t know what to do she was dumbfounded Ruby’s heart melted in pains seeing her daughter in so much pains she continued begging please this is all I have got she is my only child I can’t loose her, the men forcefully dragged Amelia in the corner where she was sobbing, Mason said wiithh a cracked voice please don’t hurt her as they were about taking her out Ruby laid on the entrance of the door preventing them to take her away, the three men matched pass her, threw Amelia in thier car and speed off, Ruby was still on the ground wailing, Mason held her so tightly trying to pull her up from the ground, she will ok Ruby please don’t make this too hard for me, Ruby spat on Masons face and screamed who told you to borrow money from people, you would have allowed me died there instead of them taking our daughter from us, they cried uncontrollably. Amelia stumble to the ground while coming down from the car she couldn’t find strength, she was in deep pains her parents used her as a collateral, that same parents she has been praying to God for that God should keep them hale and hearty so she can make them proud she said within herself tears streaming down her cheeks, she raised her head and saw the gigantic exquisite building standing before her, the building was like those high tall buildings she had wished she would live but not to be forcefully dragged to be a wife when she doesn’t even know how to behave well as a child. She walked slowly into the apartment it depicts Wealth, power, and control. A maid stepped out and welcomed her she opens the door leading to her room welcome miss Amelia Gabriel she said almost like a whisper her legs trembling as she walks past the steps. She open the door to the room slowly, It was nothing like the house she once calls home, everything inside the room smells expensive, fancy and lavish. The maid gave a cloth to change into ask to come down stairs for dinner, some hours later Amelia entered into her room, A man with a dark hair, huge and tall was sitting on a coach close to the bed, he echoed in a husky voice I am Dominic Damien, I am 60 years old a divorcee my children lives out of town, if you are obedient you will have no reason to be scared as he turns to face Amelia, she was frightened by the sight of him, his eyes was as red like a flame of fire trying to consume her, he came closer to Amelia trying to kiss her, she screamed out of fear and he raised his hands giving her a silent sign of “shhh”. please sir Amelia cried out, “who is sir” with his eye balls burging out of their sockets call me daddy what did I say Amelia said faintly d” daddy “like life was drilling out of her, he drew her closer to himself and said go to sleep while riding on my c**k, Amelia was confused she hasn’t heard about such thing all her life she has lived in her tiny house, she had never heard of such thing, Hey!!! he screamed and Amelia passed out of fear. Dominic stared at her on the ground using his feet to push her heavily, Hey stand up are you dumb he asked angrily, Amelia’s body was motionless on the floor she wasn’t breathing, he matched her hair trying to use his leg to pull off some strands of her hairs she wasn’t breathing and still not moving.
