Chapter 5
"What do you want from me?" Joanna asked and Alexander smiled.
"Nice question, Joanna Spencer,”
Joanna frowned inwardly, must he always call her by her full name?
"Where's my gold?" He asked and Joanna was slightly taking back.
"I don't understand!" She stared at him confusedly.
"I will ask you for the last time, where's my gold?" Alexander said with a serious voice and Joanna's heart immediately thumped.
"I..."
"You stole from me" Alexander interrupted her coldly.
"But you asked me to take the bag on the table so how did I steal from you?" Joanna stared at him strangely.
'What's he saying now?'
Everything was acting all in way she couldn't understand.
If she's not mistaken, it's this man fault and not hers in any way.
"You asked me for your money and I told you to take the bag on the table that's filled with money and not with gold!!" Alexander yelled at her making Joanna take a step back away from him.
"But- - - I thought you gifted it to me" She said and Alexander immediately burst into laughter.
"You thought I gifted it to you, haha, why would I gift gold to a call-girl like you?" Alexander said, and his words hit Joanna's hard.
Just one night and she's now a call-girl, wow….
She bit her lips inwardly trying to hold back the tears threatening to fall out of her eyes.
He was right why would he pay her with gold?, She's no princess even a princess won't be paid with gold for just one night.
This was what she was scared about, and now she can't deny the fact that he's saying she stole it because he was asleep and didn't saw her leave neither did he see her taking the bag.
Oh, God!!.
What has she gotten herself into??
"Hand over the bag of gold to me and I will let you go"
Joanna stared at her shop that she opened some weeks back. She has spent some gold on this shop, so how will she return it back.
"Wait let me guess, you used it to opened your shop right?" He asked and Joanna kept quiet.
"Failure to provide it means you will be arrested, just so I will let you know" Immediately he said those words Joanna's ears stood erected.
Get arrested??
No, she doesn't want to go to prison, she loves her freedom very much.
"Please don't arrest me, I still have some of your gold with me at home please…." Joanna immediately went on her knees and pleaded.
She can't afford to go to prison and leaving her brother all alone.
How he's going to live without her.
"Please I am begging you"
"Let go of me!" Dylan pushed the person holding him before running to Joanna.
"What are you doing to my sister!" He raised his voice at Alexander who chuckled a bit.
"Did you see me touched her?" Alexander asked only to see the little boy frowning at him.
"She's crying all because of you!" He immediately lifted his hands and punched Alexander on his stomach who faked a smile.
'Ow..'
His punch was hard and tough. How can a 10vyears old boy fist be this strong. He felt the pain but had to cover it up with a fake smile.
"Sister?" Dylan touched her sister's hair.
"It's okay, he won't hurt you anymore" Dylan said to Joanna.
Joanna lifted her head and stared at Alexander who gave her a blank look.
"You still have half of my gold with you right?" He asked and she nods her head.
“Yes”
"Good, can I get it?" Alexander asked.
"It's with me at home" Joanna stood up with a hopeful smile.
Alexander opened his car door and entered leaving them behind.
"When you're done staring at nothing you will step in and take me to your house" Alexander said.
Joanna immediately carried Dylan and entered the car before placing him on her laps.
“Foreign Estate” She told the driver who immediately turned on the engine and started driving.
The drive was fast and awkward cause no one uttered a word to each other. In less than an hour the car parked in front of her house and Dylan was the first to jump down from the car before running inside.
Joanna came down also with Alexander and Fred walking behind her. She got to her front door and was surprised to see the door almost torn apart.
She stared at the door strangely before running inside and to her biggest surprised her house was turned upside down.
The TVs were broken, the chairs torn and been pushed away, the fan pulled down from the ceilings, everything were destroyed real badly.
"Oh my goodness!!" She exclaimed loudly before she dashed upstairs to her room.
She came down after some minutes with a solemn look.
"Sister were we robbed?" Dylan, who was standing in the middle of the room, asked and Joanna nod her head.
She sat on the edge of the stairs with her head on her laps. Slow tears left her eyes as she sobbed silently.
'How was she robbed?'
'Is this even robbery?'
She questioned herself.
"My gold got stolen right?" Alexander asked and Joanna kept quiet.
"Am talking to you, Joanna Spencer, where's my gold?!!" Alexander yelled angrily at her and Joanna jerked up in shock.
She stared at his angry face not knowing what to do or say to him. How is she going to tell him the bag of gold is no longer where she left it.
Who could have robbed her on this dangerous day. What a wicked world she's living in. They didn’t even left like 1 or 2 gold.
"Fred?" Alexander called with his eyes on Joanna.
"Call the police" He gave the orders and Joanna gasped out.
“Okay boss” Fred brought out his phone to dial the cops number when Joanna immediately snatched the phone away from him.
"No!"
"Please don't call the cops on me I am begging you" Joanna immediately went on her knees am pleaded in tears.
She was in a difficult situation that only her please could somehow save her.
"Please don't send me to jail, I don't want to go there I- - -I- - - -I love my brother very much and he can’t leave without me, he will be so devastated please temper justice with mercy, please I am begging you" Joanna placed her head on his shoes and Alexander immediately moved back.
"Please don't take my sister!" Little Dylan knelt close to her sister and started pleading making Alexander embarrassed.
'Hmm guess this little boy has been tamed'
He pinched the space between his brows wanting to say something when he heard her spoke up.
"I will do anything you ask of me, but please don't arrest me" Joanna said.
"You will what?" Alexander asked before facing Fred who immediately set his phone on recording.
"I will do anything you want me to do, just for you not to arrest me please!" Joanna repeated and Alexander smiled inwardly.
"Then strip for me" His deep muscular voice rang into her ears.
Joanna lifted her head up and stared at him in shock.
"What?"
"Strip now?" He commanded.
