Chapter 44



Diego's joy knew no bounds, he was so happy that he could convince Fredrick to hire someone else to search for the witness, because he already knew Ronaldo wasn't doing what he was instructed to do by Fredrick.

'Fredrick thinks he is smart, I know he would still come to me begging for my help he can't practically do anything without me being involved 'Diego said to himself laughing so loud.

Diego called his personal guard to assist him with gathering some heavy built group of men who can go in search of the witness, that he would have said just one person should do the job, but he then taught that when they go in group it would be faster to get the witness, because if they are more than one it would be faster to get the witness before at least if they are in group it would be faster and they will get the witness before Anthony won't get's her.

Fredrick needed money so badly and was loaned a huge sum of money by a fellow mafia Alvin, and he's unable to pay Alvin back the money he loaned. He was given a deadline to pay back his loan and the deadline was long overdue and he still didn't have the money to pay back, and he was threatened by the mafia if he's not able to pay back his loan before the deadline, this made him really devastated and depressed.

Fredrick was in his sitting room thinking of how to pay Alvin's money back, when he had a knock at his door, he then instructed his guard to check who was at the door, the guard went and behold it was Alvin who came to Fredrick's house to remind him about his loan. Fredrick's heart skipped immediately when he noticed it was Alvin because he already knew the only reason Alvin would come to his house was to remind him about the loan. Alvin came in with some heavy built guys with scary looks on their faces, this made Fredrick more scared.

'Fredrick, this is the second time I am coming to your place, the first time I came was to loan you my money and this second time is to collect my money" Alvin said to Fredrick without even exchanging pleasantries with Fredrick with a very angry look on his face"

Fredrick couldn't reply to Alvin as he was still in shock and short of words.

' your no is long overdue and I haven't heard anything from you. Is this how you want to repay me for my kindness towards you? Did I do wrong by helping you? Alvin asked Fredrick angrily.

'No you didn't" Fredrick replied Alvin stammering.

'So you know I didn't do bad by helping you so why haven't you paid back, or you just want to watch me do my worst? You are pushing me Fredrick and you won't like to see my actions because it will be disastrous I promise. I am a very easy going person and everyone knows that, but at the same time I don't like when people take my simplicity for stupidity" Alvin said to Fredrick in a very scary way.

'I am still gathering your money, I know the loan is long overdue and I promise I will give you the money soon" Fredrick replied Alvin still stuttering because he was scared.

'You are still gathering the money! What you have been saying, do you take me as some joke? it's my money we are talking about here, this wasn't the initial agreement because this wasn't the agreement and this wasn't what you told me before I loan you the money Fredrick" Alvin yelled at Fredrick.

'I know but just give me little time and I promise I will return your money to you" Fredrick said to Alvin begging him for more time

'Little time you say, okay no problem I will give you little time but just know that your interest has gone higher. And so you know the longer you take the higher the interest" Alvin said to Fredrick laughing.

Fredrick was short of words and didn't know what to say because he is unable to pay the current loan and Alvin is still adding more to the money.

'You can't say anything? Wow I see you happy with the rate at which your money is increasing" Alvin said to Fredrick still laughing.

'I will pay you back, don't worry, just give me time," Fredrick said to Alvin, still begging him for more time.

'No problem, more time you say, okay I will you two more weeks and I think that should be enough time for you to gather my money and I don't know how you want to do it but gather my money before two weeks or else you won't like my account I promise" Alvin said to Fredrick in a scary tone.

'Thank you so much I really appreciate that I will gather your money before two weeks I promise" Fredrick replied Alvin in a grateful tone even though he isn't sure he will be able to gather the money before two weeks.

'Okay, but so you know I don't like coming to your place so I won't like to come here the third time because it will be disastrous I promise" Alvin said to Fredrick in a scary way as he guards where rolling their eyes and pulls their shirt up to show their guns.

Fredrick sighted the guns immediately and bent his head in fear.

'I promise I won't disappoint you, you will get your money before two weeks" Fredrick said to Alvin in fear.

'Good to hear I will get going now and don't wish to come back here" Alvin said to Fredrick as he leaves Fredrick's house with his scary looking guards.

Fredrick didn't raise his head till he realized Alvin had left his house. As soon as he raised his head he picked up his phone and called his friend Diego to come to his place immediately because it was urgent and was between life and death.

Few minutes later he heard a knock at the door and set his guard and went to check who was there and it's his friend Diego that was at the door.

'Fredrick, what is the problem? You sound like you are in very serious trouble. What's the problem? Are you okay? Did something bad happen? Diego asked Fredrick curiously, wondering why Fredrick would have called him in such a manner.

'Diego my friend I need your help badly, I am not okay, yes something bad happened I am in a big mess and I don't know how to get out of it that is why I called you to come over quickly.

'You are in a big mess, how? What happened? Talk to me ' Diego asked Fredrick curiously.

'I know I didn't tell you earlier but that was because I didn't want to stress you about it but as it stands I just have to. The last time when we needed money to move those drugs I borrowed money to do that and now am unable to pay back the deadlines. It is long overdue and I still haven't even gathered up to half of the money" Fredrick explained to Diego.

'You borrowed money? How ? When? But you told me it was a gift from a client for a job well done" Diego asked Fredrick.

'Yes I borrowed money, that's what I am trying to explain to you. I borrowed money it was not a gift from any friend and I am unable to pay back I am sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I really wanted to but I felt like I will be stressing you if I tell you because you are still busy with the search for the witness so o didn't bother telling you m, and the money was if good help. Fredrick explained further to Diego.

'Okay, but that was a huge amount of money. I was actually surprised that a friend could dash you such an amount of money, it was too real to be good though, '' Diego said to Fredrick.

'That is not the point now Diego" Fredrick cut Diego in.

'Okay I know so what is the point now?" Diego asked Fredrick.

'I need to do something to get the money and return it back as soon as possible because the deadline is long overdue and I am giving extra two weeks to gather the money with higher interest so I need to do anything possible so as to gather the money and pay back the money that why I called in case you have any things I can do to get the money.

'So if I may ask my dear friend who did you borrow the money from? Diego asked Fredrick.

'I borrowed the money for a fellow mafia Alvin" Fredrick replied Diego's question.

'You borrowed money from Alvin? Why? Don't you know who Alvin is? Alvin is a very dangerous person people don't like doing business with him because he don't meet up they lose the lives of their loved ones first then he kill them, so people they do business with him are people that are sure they can meet up to his request that why he mostly do business with his fellow mafia because they will meet up Alvin won't spare you if you don't pay back the loan but I wish you had told me I would have advised you not to do business with Alvin at the first time" Diego said to Fredrick.

'I know Diego but we needed the money badly so I had no other option than to loan the money from Alvin, as a matter of fact Alvin just left my house few minutes ago he came to remind me about the loan and that the interest has gone higher so he gave extra two to get his money and failure to do that will cost my life. That's what made me scared and decided to call you to come to my place. I don't know what to do right now. In fact I am confused about why I sent it to my friend. I really need your help because two weeks is just around the corner and I have not even gathered half of the money" Fredrick said to Diego in frustration.

'I don't know what to do right now, in fact I am as frustrated as you are right now," Diego replied to Fredrick.

'You can't be frustrated right now because I need your help, you are my last hope now" Fredrick pleaded to Diego.

'The money on the ground is huge so where do you think I will get that huge amount of money in two weeks from now? You loaned the money without telling me but now you need help in returning the money you borrowed and you are coming to me" Diego asked Fredrick rolling his eyes at Fredrick.
