By Amah’s Heart.
“… are you insane? I’m sorry but this whole thing is a total madness. You came to ask me to lend you another money… again? What has gotten into you? Wait a second… what is it with you and your boss… I don’t understand this whole thing anymore. You are going to the extreme Kat…
I have gone to Julie to ask for some money after Natasha threatens me again.
She said that she needed money to do something very urgent and the amount was ridiculous. I explained to her that I don’t have money to give her but my explanation didn’t go down well with her.
This was the third time that she will be asking for money.
She threatened to call Mrs Desmond who has traveled out of state and tell her what I have been fighting so hard to keep a secret.
I ignored her at first but she wouldn’t let me rest.
Day after day she kept on pestering me and even started taking pictures and making videos whenever doctor Robert was around to treat Mr Desmond.
She was trying to gather enough evidence just in case I deny.
I finally told her I will get her the money.
Natasha asked me to hasten up with it or she will send the video to Mrs Desmond.
This was the reason I came to Julie to lend me some money but after explaining the whole thing to her hoping she will be very considerate but instead she flares up with annoyance.
…. do you think after giving her the money this time she won’t come back again? She has practically made you her money bank where she can always go and get money. She has strong evidence to nail you if you refuses her which is why I’m begining to think you are crazy. How long will you continue this way? Your job, your finance and even your career is at stake because of one man and yet you don’t want to give up. Kat, I love the fact that you are trying to help this man but you have done your best. Atleast his health is improving, is high time you focus more on the job you are paid to do. You still have few days to take up the runway offer…. don’t let it pass you by. God knows you have tried for this man so whatever comes after is none of your concerns. Go out there and make a name for yourself… this is what you have always wanted to do. The opportunity has presented itself in a platter of gold… please grab it now before regret steps in. I’m sorry but I don’t have money to lend you. Forget about that man and start living your dream.
Julie maybe right but I have gone too far in helping Mr Desmond, I can’t turn back now.
I will finish what I started, there’s no stopping midway.
I will look for a way to raise money for Natasha.
When I got to the house, Natasha was at the door waiting.
“Your time is up… where’s my money?
That was the first thing she asked me.
“I don’t have It. You will have to be patient… money doesn’t grow on trees, if it’s so I could have plug and give to you.
I was about walking pass her to go inside she blocked my way.
“I need my money now or never. You aren’t going anywhere until you hand my money to me.
She pushed me back with force I almost lose my balance.
“… i don’t care if money grows on tree or not you must provide it today. Is been three days already. I have been nice enough is time for action. My money or you will have me and Mrs Desmond to contend with.
“Why are you acting as if you gave me money to keep for you? Leave the way Natasha. I don’t want any trouble. I will give you your money but all I ask is time.
“I have been patient enough with you which is why you are begining to see me as fool. Oh Kay-se… I swear with my… my late mother’s tomb, no… unfortunately my mother is still alive. But my great grandma is not…. if you don’t provide my money today and right here I will show you why my friends calls me iron Tasha. The way I will beat you Kay-se Lukas nobody will recognize you again. I will destroy the beautiful face you think you have… Mr Desmond and madam will see the real ugly side of you and at the end you will still pay me double of the money. If people ask why I beat you I will tell them that you are a thief, you stole my money and had refused to pay back. Trust me… I have Master degree in lyinology. After cooking up lies everyone will believe me…
I was still wondering why she sound so confident that she was going to beat me up.
I tried going inside again but she forcefully pushed me backward with a hard punch to my chin.
I gained my balance and that was when I realized that she was very serious about beating me up.
“Natasha, please leave the way. I don’t want any trouble. I will give you the money but I need time to source for it. Let me go and attend to Mr Desmond… I beg of you.
She laughed out loud.
“My dear Kay-se you have not started begging yet. By the time I finish with you, your second name will be “sorry” Mrs Desmond is out and Mr Desmond is up there in his sitting room, he doesn’t even have the legs or energy to save you. Sadly, nobody not even the other workers will save you from me today if you don’t provide my money…
