Chapter 58
"Why are you in such a hurry... why don't you wait for the waiter to bring the food before I start explaining" Jeffrey smiled while staring at the waiter as he was walking slowly toward them.
"Fuck... why are you giving me such conditions... I've done everything you asked for and now... you are still putting me in suspense... I'd like to hear what you have to say... you know I only have two days left and time is running out" Dean provoked and yelled but immediately the waiter placed the food on his table, his voice became low.
"Running out? What's going on... and you said you only have two days left" Wayne interrupts with confusion but the fried Jollof and turkey with some salad in it made him hurt to eat.
"You won't understand... it's between two of us" Jeffrey replied and at this moment, Dean became tired and was silent while holding his folks.
"I don't understand you! Two of us came here together! What's wrong with you... we are all in this now and we must finish it... if you don't want us to help, you could have just stopped us immediately as we left the prison" The Black wolves leader was still staring at the food but he decided to know what was going on before he start eating.
Dean starts to eat his food avoiding words with the ex-prisoner and the same with Wayne, leaving both of them to finish the conversation.
Jeffrey becomes tired and uses his left hand to pick up Turkey from his food " It's complicated... Dean, I'm sorry! The truth is, he needed my help... And... the thing is... where he used to work... sorry... his company... he has given a letter and it's regarding a loan... so... he doesn't have anywhere else to go and... as it stands... I'm the only one that can help him" The black leader yelled at me, making me stop my explanation.
"Why are you the only person that can help you once said he's the one who put you in that place... so... why are you planning on helping him" The Black wolves leader yelled but I kept smiling at her.
I continue to shine my teeth as I gasp for food continuously..." The truth is... I did something terrible to him and it's unforgivable but I didn't plan to... my mom was at the point of death and I have no one to run to except what I had to do... and that's the reason why he put me in there... so currently... the loan letter given to him is something he can't control by himself but something I need to help him with that he doesn't even know about... the money is ten million dollars!" Immediately I called the amount, Wayne and the black wolves leader yelled, putting fear in my body as they stopped eating and paid attention to what I had to say.
"So... initially... I kidnapped his wife for six million dollars and he also gives me another one million dollars and everything that I spent on my mum is just three million dollars, meaning the rest of the money is in my custody and that's why he's here... he wanted to collect the Balance from me to shorten the payment... he only has two days left and I assure him that once we are out of that prison, I'll help him without touching my money... and that's why I condition him to bring us out... there is something he doesn't know about and I know it... I also did my finding but I keep it a secret... don't worry... I'll tell him now since he needs my help" I continued to explain and as I reached the part when I said I'll tell him now, Dean stopped eating and took the wine from the table to cleanse his taste.
"Enough of the explanation... we have heard enough...Can you tell us what we don't know already... I'm dying to hear that part" Dean stopped eating while staring at me with his Pinky lip because of the wine.
"Was he explaining to you? Why don't you keep your mouth shut and let him finish before you put your mouth" The black wolves leader yelled at Dean making Dean look inferior for making such a deal with a gangster?
"Hey! Don't yell at him again... do you forget that he's the one that frees us from that bloody cell... let's know ourselves and be happy with each other" I advised and enjoyed as Wayne nodded his head toward me but Dean was already frustrated.
"Bloody cell... I used to enjoy that place but..." I placed my hands on his mouth telling him to keep quiet.
After removing my hand, I slowly sit back in my chair. " Yeah! please... we are on the same page now... I've little money with me and we can use that to start a business so please let's don't insult ourselves because of who we are back there... We are a changed man now" I advise as they stare at me and I was happy none of them try to interrupt me.
"Yeah! Fine... so the problem now is this... if I tell you what has been happening, you might end up doing something terrible and that's the reason I can't tell you because of your hot temper" I point at Dean while explaining but he looks calm despite what I just said.
"Is the problem that serious... wow! So that means you can't tell me right?" Dean feel frustrated while looking sideway... pride has eaten him up and he feels too big to beg Jeffrey for the problem
"I'll tell you but on one condi..." Dean interrupted me and didn't let me complete my sentence.
"What's the condition..."
"You'll have to promise me that you'll keep this a secret and in case it's got to your nerves, you will promise me not to tell your mum and also you'll let me handle it my way... For any reason! A secret is a secret and this applies to both of you too" I was scared because leaking something like this is dangerous as I dragged my ear to why I was warning them.
"Hmmm... okay... fine... I promise not to tell anyone including my mum" Dean pledged as he raised his right hand while laughing and Jeffrey kept on staring at Wayne and the black wolves leader.
"Fine... I won't tell anyone" The black wolves say out of compensation as all of them turned to Wayne.
"Fine... but why do I even have to tell anyone when I don't know any of them... anyway... I promised to keep my mouth shut" Wayne raised his right hand too and pledged to make all of their cheers in keeping this a secret.
"Fine... I can see we are all on the same page... the thing is... saying something like this is hard to believe and please for the sake of God... don't leak this information out... " I begged them since I'm having this feeling that this information will be leaked
"We all agreed so why don't you trust me" they echo together.
"Fine... I told you I know something right" I asked and Dean nodded his head to me.
"Getting that ten million dollars is easy if only your mum wants to help you out... I remember you told me back in the prison that, the loan was from your late father and I asked you if you ask your mum about your late father but you said, you didn't care since it's your responsibility now to beer and that is the reason you came to me right" As I continue to ask, Dean, nods his head continuously.
"The thing is... that money was not from your late father but rather from the man your mum has been flirting with...and..." Dean didn't let me complete my sentence as he yelled at me and this is the reason I never wanted to say something.
"What... flirting with? Are you mad? What sort of accusations is that" He yelled at me and I became shy but I thank God the black leader was able to calm him down and shut his mouth.
"You see... I haven't finished what I'm saying but you are already pissed off... Anyway... thanks for bringing me out of prison... I'm out of this conversation" I tried to stand up after being pissed off but Wayne held my hands right before Dean was about to say something.
"I'm sorry... I promise not to yell again... and I promised to keep my mouth shut..." Dean pleaded and my heart jumped up in joy...
"I'm sorry" He begged again and I sat gently while shining my twilight teeth.
"Yeah! The reason she can't tell you is that the man who she's flirting with is currently having a problem... so that's the reason she can't help you and you know the funny story?" I asked gentle and they all responded together "No"
"The man your mum was flirting with was my father".
