A Chance At Love

"Hello?" I asked into my phone

"Yes, come to our hideout. I have information for you." The voice said

I huffed and sighed because I'm supposed to be at a meeting in a few minutes.

"I'm sorry but I don't think–"

"Great, see you there." They replied ending the call cutting me off

"Ugh!" I screamed

I hate myself for getting involved in this shit, but I had to in order for my family name to be stable and clean.

It all started a year ago, my dad was near death because his health was always a struggle for him, and even though my family is wealthy, the amount of debt we were in would be enough to make my children pay at least $20,000,000.

Then he came

He promised he'd have his people to provide for him, and because my family provide almost everything for this useless town, nobody could find out that my dad was in the hospital.

If anyone needed anything, they'd come to my parents and they'd give it to them, but now...

Now the cycle is broken

When he came, he did help my father with his health, but because of the medications he takes, he's weak.

He at least have to take 8 pills a day for all of his pain.

My dad didn't want "Demon" to come into our lives because he could tell something was wrong from the start.

The rest of my family wanted him to get better so we immediately agreed.

When "Demon" asked for money in return, my mother was the first to tell him that all of our family money was going to my father's health and my brothers and I education.

"Demon" got really mad and he chose a different approach. After some major thinking he said that the cost my parents would have to pay was worth more than any money they could give...

My brother and I

Now we have to work under his orders, and we have for the past year. I've made some acquaintances, but I'm not going to get close to anyone because I know if I do, it might hurt me and my family.

But I can't live like this much longer, I promised my parents I would find a way out of this hell hole.

For good

I walked into the place I used to call home, but now I don't even know what to call it.

It's an abandoned warehouse that has been here for about 5 years. "Demon" and I and all of our people have been secretly meeting here for the past few months, but I feel as if something is going to happen.

"Is anyone there?" I asked walking in making sure my heels didn't click loudly

"Why hello A–"
