Chapter 90

"What's wrong... what's bothering you!" Dean's mum became worried while I was roaming about.
"You won't understand... how will I say this now... damn.." The memory of us seeing that day keeps bothering me and now she is caught by the police...
"Sit... Take a deep breath... Yes... correct... and relax..." I did exactly as she said as I kept staring at her...
"Fine... let that slide away... The favor I need for you now is very important to me... honestly... I'm begging you... don't let me down... please... forget what I said I'll tell your son about your relationship... I was never
on the floor while I hold her leg with tears filling in my eyes.
"I don't get it... you have been begging me for long now... and yet... you don't want to tell me what's wrong! Are you alright... did you need money for the project... I don't get
you... stand... up... talk to me..." She stood up while helping me get my feet back on the floor.∆
"Please... forget what I have been saying... " I apologized and sat back in the dining room.
"What I'm trying to say is that..m everybody has a second chance in life... I know... this is going to be a huge task... but please let me finish...The call you received a few minutes ago... while I was out, I saw her... and we discussed it for some minutes... Honestly, lets me be frank with you... she begged me for forgiveness and I forgive her...The thing is... she needs my help... she has been hiding for some days now... and everyone she talks to... turns her down... she plans on seeing Dean herself but I told her still stay hiding that I'll help her... and the only hope I have in helping her is you. please... I don't like to turn down promises I have made" I slowly clean up the drop of tears and explain to her.
"Hmm... I understand you though... and it's a good reason to cry... you know it's kind of late right now and I'll have to go home... and take some rest... first... I have to think about this... and I can't assure you that I'll help you!" She mentioned taking up her bag as she was ready to leave.
"I know it's not in your will to help me... but this is the only favor I need from you right now... All I just need you to do is place a call on the deputy, telling them that I'll come and pick her up... I don't want your son to know about this please... you know how he's a time" I became serious... but she didn't respond to what I was saying...
"I know it's late... but you can wait here a bit... let's discuss the 300million dollars...what did you want me to do... if you don't want to help me in settling her release... no problem..." As she heard about the 300 million Dollars, she sat back quietly while waiting for me to go ahead with the plan.
"Fine... 300 million dollars... I know you know the passwords so don't try to double-cross me with my money! " She sat down while staring me in the eyes.
"Crossed? I'm not that kind of man... I can see that you don't trust me... but don't worry...I won't do anything... I'm asking you... how did you and my father come up with the idea of dividing the money... I mean... What's my father's percentage..." I asked while bringing out a piece of paper and a pen from my pocket.
"Hmm... I won't say because we didn't discuss anything about that but since it was my idea... I should take 60%" she whispered but I didn't say anything but brought out my cell phone and dialed my dad's number.
He didn't even waste any time, he picked it up immediately.
"Hello... where are you," I asked him while my phone was on the loudspeaker.
"My son! Why didn't you follow us back... don't tell me you are running with my money!" he replies after pretending to be sick but as he saw the call from his son... he got himself back.
"Your money? Can I ask you a question... how much money is in that safe..." the call was still on speaker while Dean's mum checked her wristwatch continuously.
"Hmm... you know we didn't count it... because... every business we make, we just collect a penny and throw the remaining there but with the balance that I calculated on my head... I should say... it's more than 500 million Dollars" The amount he called shocked Dean mum and Jeffrey but they hold their mouth so he won't know that they are amazing.
"Ok... Thanks... that's huge money anyway... I want to ask you something... I know it's not only your money... so if you are still together... how will you guys spend the money..." I asked and watched as Dean's mum drew her ear closer to hear the amount.
"Hmm... you know we didn't say anything about that and I remember clearly that we plan to build a home and companies... not until we broke up... but if I must say how much we should share... it should be 50/50... yeah... I know she brought the majority of the ideas but I was the one who took the risk that I almost got caught three-time... so it should be 50/50... " He responded while making sure that no one was near him and everything was fine.
"Hmm... Thanks for the response... Where is my mother?" I asked as I was about to end the call.
"She went to get me some medicine... please my son... don't run with my money and if that woman comes anywhere near you... be careful... she's deceitful..." He concluded after hearing footsteps... he ended the call quickly while pretending to be sick back.
"Hmm... I can see that this huge money is going to cause a problem... What are we going to do now?" I pointed my hands at her.
"I know this will result in this someday... but please... Can we talk about this tomorrow... I need to be at home before my son comes back... please... I don't want to answer any questions" She stood up and deep down in her... she's thinking of how to solve this million problem.
"No problem... I'll sleep here tonight... it's my father's house anyway... but... I want to ask you for a favor" I stood up and walked behind her as she was leaving the house.
"Yes... go ahead..." She ordered and remembered she forgot something... she rushed back to the sitting room where she collected her glasses.
"Please... Don't forget what I told you about that woman that got arrested... I'll love to get feedback from you... tonight and please don't tell your son... okay..." She turned to me and nodded her head in reply.
"Bye..." She stretched her hands and entered the cab that stopped in front of her.
"Damn... What a day... how can 500 million be in this house and I won't do anything about it... damn... I'll make sure I sleep in tonight... hmm... yeah... I should dress the money like a bed and sleep on top of it" I turned off the light... and made sure... I close all the curtains around the rooms...
I walked straight to the safe and before I opened it... I made sure that everything was dark except for my phone touch.
I opened the safe but I didn't see any money worth 500 million dollars.
The money in front of me is not even up to 300 thousand dollars but they claim that there are 500 million dollars in this small safe...
I touched the money and rubbed it with my hands... Suddenly... my hands hit on something like a key.
immediately, I removed all the money in front of it...
I look at it, it's a thin rope but I don't know what's connected to it.
I stare at the house before doing anything... Suddenly, I dragged the thin rope and the door opened.
I looked down at the safe... there was a ladder that connected downward...
I look down but I can't find any money... I tried going down through the ladder but I remember that I didn't lock my door so I went back and locked it everywhere.
I made sure that if someone sees the house, he'll know that it was an empty house.
I walk down while using the ladder... but yet I'm not seeing anything... My shoulder began to hurt but I'm still going down.
"Damn! What is this... " I finally reached the extreme as my eye clock 360 degrees.
"Where do they get this money from... Should I take one of these? Why is there even a liberty statue covered in gold... where did they get this from... I wonder what kind of business they do together to enjoy this money... " I removed my cell phone while taking a sample of the gold.
I went back to my house and I made sure that everything was placed in order... I made sure that they wouldn't suspect that I came down here...
While I was on my bed... I couldn't stop thinking of the type of currency I saw today...
My eyes were swollen and I could hear my heart beating to take one of those... I thought of the money all long that I even had to sleep off.

"Welcome, dear..." Dean's mum was resting in the sitting room while his son walked in.
"Mum! I'm hungry." He grumbles while walking straight to the kitchen.
Shortly after Dean arrived... Jennifer came down from her room after hearing her voice...
she saw that Dean's mum was in the kitchen preparing some dinner... She joined her and begged her to take her seat...
While Dean and his mum are waiting for Jennifer to finish... Dean was busy enjoying himself with an Instagram video and his mum was just staring at him...
"How was work today... my son," she asked but Dean didn't reply... she looked at him closely and found out that he was with an earpod on his ears.
"How was work today..." She tapped him and he removed it slowly.
"Mum! it's fine though but everyone just sees me as a bad person... I don't know what will happen... I tried to do good and everyone just turned it around me saying I shouldn't have to do anything... Mum, I'm tired... By the way... I called but you weren't home..." Dean grumbles and immediately, Jennifer drops the food in the dining room.
"Oops... sorry for that... I went out... and by the way... stop doing things to please people but humans are different" She advised but Jennifer chipped in and interrupted her.
"Yeah... she has not been home since morning... it's not up to 15 minutes when you walk in that she comes back..." Jennifer didn't even listen to what Dean's mum was saying, she just chip in and the look she gave her... made her close her mouth.
"Mum... Are you serious... since morning? where have you been mum! look at the time..." Dean was about to put beef into his mouth but he paused and questioned his mother.
"I said... I went out... can't I?" She retraced the question back to him while Jennifer, who caused this issue, was busy eating.
"Mum! Are you seeing a man? C'mon... talk to me... since morning... and it's past 8 now...it's not that you even went to church...but what you can tell us is that you went out... Mum! if you are seeing a man... tell me... I won't kill you... beside... I also want you to be happy" Dean provoked as he dropped his spoon while he was about to eat.
"I went out... and I did not see any man... that's what I can tell you" She replied again as she slowly ate the food while Dean kept staring at her.
"You're lying mum... your mouth is shaken..." Dean provoked while heading straight to his room in anger.
