Chapter 4 - When the deal is too good think twice

As much as she wanted to believe Isabel, she just couldn't, Pablo didn't trust her or maybe not well enough to know that she will choose him over and over again.

"He needs to apologize for calling me a prostitute and all those insults he reigned on me first before we start talking," she refused.

She wouldn't allow him to be insulting then the act as if it was nothing? It's better to be insulted by some random person but those close to tour heart, the pain is always double.

"You are stubborn but rest assured you will still need him, unless you want to continue this way,"

"Are proud of this pathetic life of yours because of a fucking career? For people to be bringing you food?"

"Carry your food and leave, I don't remember asking you to bring me food,"

"Ok I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way,"

"Isabel I want to be alone, carry your foodstuffs and leave," she raised her voice and Isabel knew she had over crossed the boundary.

She really didn't mean it that way, she loved Annie like a sister and always wanted the best for her but everytime she thinks of the career path Annie decided to take, she gets fed up and angry.

She understands Annie wanted to help people with their problems but what happened to becoming a doctor they do save lives, a teacher they teach you to become a better person, and any other career but no Annie decided to be listening to people's problems when she has a thousand on her list.

"I'm sorry," she pleaded, she didn't want to hurt her but their is no other sugar coated way of telling someone the truth.

No matter how much you try, it will still hurt someone.

"Isa, just leave," Annie walked to the door and opened it for her.

She didn't have a choice but walked to the door.

"I'm sorry," she muttered and walked out.

Annie sat on the floor in tears. With everything that was happening, she was starting to have a rethink of all this career thing.

"Was it too late to change?" She started asking herself. She took her phone from the pocket, scrolled through till she got to Pablo's number.

She wanted to call him and just pick him instead of her career.

"I'll go with my last born, she is still young and he will remain with the rest," those words rang in her mind.

The same thing happened to her, her mother left with her younger brother and because she was eight years she was left behind and that was the beginning of everything she went through. If only they had been together as a family her life would have been better.

Her birthday will mark nineteen years since she saw her father and twenty since she say her mother and brother.

She won't want the same experience to happen to anybody else especially when she could help it.

"Once this couple nolonger want a divorce, I will quit," she told herself and returned the phone back to her pocket.

Aiden was about to sleep when his phone beeped, it was late and he didn't expect anyone to call him at such a time but still took his phone to check who it was.

"Please son, just make her pregnant and I will sort out the rest," he read the text from his dad and threw the phone across the room in anger.

His sleep was taken away by that reminder and the whole night he couldn't get a glimpse of sleep but in the morning, he still had to go to work.

He preferred to visit his friend before going to work that's if he would even show up in the office. Eden was preparing breakfast when he arrived and the aroma from his kitchen reminded him that he hasn't tasted anything since yesterday morning.

He walked to the kitchen to join him and picked one cookie from what he was cooking.

"Morning bro, what happened today?" Eden asked noticing his mood.

"I went to the house yesterday and they have this miserable looking girl for me to marry as if that is not enough the old man wants me to get the girl pregnant,"

"And it got you angry because you don't want help. I have been thinking what if we look for help?"

"I should sit down with someone and narrate my life to him?"

"There is a psychiatrist who I have heard is really good what if we try her out. They have taken an oath of secrecy, all your secrets are safe with her,"

"A woman, Eden did you take something I don't know about?"

"I haven't taken anything, you have been my brother for ten years and I want to see you happy. What if we make a deal, I pay for the services and you give her a try. You won't have to spend your money if you are not sure,"

"It's not about the money. I will spend my time, what if it doesn't work out. I can't open up to a woman,"

"Really?"

"Where did you know her from?" Aiden questioned.

"One of my employees had problems with her marriage and he was referred to her. The marriage was bad and everyone knew it won't work out but she did her magic and right now you can't imagine they are happy. Then another employee room her daughter who was suffering from depression and after six months she was back on her feet. That was how I heard about her," Eden explained.

"I'm not marriage so it's not marriage problems, secondly I'm not suffering from depression, I don't think she can help me,"

"Depression and trauma fit in the same category. Please bro, we can't know before giving it a try? I may not know everything that happened to you in the past but I know it's the cause of everything you are going through right now. Can I call her office to schedule an appointment?"

"If it doesn't work out you will have me to contend with,"

"If it does then you hand over all your shares from Cyndra hotel," Eden gave his condition.

Cyndra is a five star hotel and best in the country. Being a chef, Eden has always wanted to own at least fifty percent of it's shares but only managed thirty percent and if it works out he would have fulfilled his lifetime dream.

"Deal then," Aiden agreed and he smiled.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"The last meal I had was here yesterday in the morning,"

"You didn't eat at the house?"

"Those bastards spoiled my appetite,"

Eden laughed as he served the cookies on a plate.

"So much food are you expecting visitors?"

"Rachael is coming over and she will carry some of the cookies for her mom so don't worry,"

Aiden nodded, everyone loved Eden's cooking so he wasn't surprised she was taking them home.

Getting into her office, Annie meets Mira all smiles shocking her. She hasn't paid her salary for last month and this month was almost coming to an end and didn't see any light at the end of her tunnel.

She had been thinking of what to do with the little money in her account but it wasn't enough for two months salary.

"Good morning have you won a bet?" She inquired.

"I'm happy for you because you are the one who won,"

"Meaning?" Annie stopped Infront of her desk.

She was in a hurry earlier but not seeing the couple there yet, she relaxed at least today she came earlier than them.

"Meaning someone has just paid to the account $10000 and he called booking an appointment tomorrow at eight thirty with you for his friend,"

The handbag on her hand became heavy and she dropped it on Mira's desk and sat on the desk not to miss a word.

"You told this guy about our charges?" She asked.

"Of course I did but he still sent that amount,"

"What is the problem with this friend of his?"

"He only said he is suffering from the effects of trauma and that money is only for one session of two hours so he will pay more,"

"Don't you think the deal is so good to be true?" Annie arched her brows at her and it struck Mira.

Someone to pay that kind of money, maybe the case is hard for others.

"Will you return the money?" Mira asked.

Saying she was confused was an understatement, heavens knows the kind of budget going through her mind at the moment and how far that money will take her.

Her rent is due in two weeks both the office and house, she doesn't have food in the house, her electricity and water bills are staring at her not to talk of Mira's salary for two months.

What about this case that seems impossible, what if it's a set up and her enemies are finally after her life? What I they will sue her later?
