○《 All people mentioned in this chapter are amazing. This is just for fun. We do not believe any of these people would kidnap a gorilla, or emotionally abuse others. Thank you. 》○

The anger filled my plump, Big Mac-chomping body when his bearded face turned toward me and formed a smug smirk(╰(‵□′)╯).

"The longer you stay, the more you get"

"Well I don't want to-"

"I could make you rich, Karen," he said as he made his way toward the cage, "Think about it, sweet cheeks-I mean, thick cheeks."

"EXCUSE M-"

"TESLAS! MONEY BEYOND COMPARE. Eras tour concert tickets. I can tell you're interested by the way you shut your fat mouth to listen."

Before I could clap back harder than my thick cheeks I saw my gorilla pouring his eyes out.

"FEAR! FEAR! I'M FEAR! OAAAAOOOHHHAA!!!!!" he said before he fainted and collapsed gracefully. As I watched his many hairs blow in the wind I wanted desperately to run to him, but as I turned-

"LET GO OF ME!" I pulled at my wrist and winced in pain. He had the grip of a beast.

"I'll let go when you've heard the conditions of my offer. NOW STOP!"

I hated obeying his idiotic demands but I had no choice. Even if I ran I couldn't do it very fast.

"Good. Now, Karl, open the Google Slides presentation," Mr. Beast demanded.

"The brown one?"

"What? No the red and green one."

"Um, Jimmy, I'm pretty sure that's brown."

" Ugghhhhh...... You are so frikin color blind!"

"But Jimmy I-"

"Do I have to do everything myself?" His eyebrows turned so angry that he looked like Will Poulter. Karl took one look at him and began sobbing.

"I just wanted to be loved for who I am!" Karl threw his frog hoodie over his head and ran away.

"I didn't mean it like that-oh whatever! I've had enough of this! Listen, Woman! This is my presentation!"

"I didn't mean it like that-oh whatever! I've had enough of this! Listen, Woman! This is my presentation!"

"I know about Cheese."

"Clearly you don't know how to spell."

"You must think I'm bluffing, huh? That I just happened to overhear you and that dumb gorilla talkin? Well, you're wrong." He pressed a button, and, to my horror, the next slide showed a perfect depiction of Cheese.

"I drew him accurately, don't you think?"

"It-it looks....just like him.......how dare you."

"What was that?"

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU COULD NEVER CAPTURE ALL THE BEAUTY OF CHEESE IN A MILLION YEARS!"

"If I were you I would stay quiet."

I felt an awful lump form in my throat. A lump so big it made my ex husband Bob look small.

"My sweet little Cheese."

"I could bring him back to you."

"Don't play games with me."

"No, really, thats my offer. Take a look at this."

"This timer will set off a bomb

"This timer will set off a bomb. The closer you stay to the end of the timer, the higher the value of the prize you get. If you stay within five minutes of the end of the timer, you get Cheese."

"What does the gorilla get?"

"Nothing. He's a piece in the game I've forced you to play. Both of you have to stay in order to get Cheese. The second you tell him, he leaves. You know it's true."

"Why? Why do any of this?"

"Life gets boring from time to time. I have soooooo much money, and sometimes giving it away and being nice just gets old."

"This isn't FAIR!"

"It doesnt have to be." He chuckled, stepped onto his floating plate, and zoomed away.

I knew what choice I had made before he vanished from my sight.
