Chapter 3

In that dark room, Noah's stocky bodyguards forced Christopher to his knees on the floor, his eyes downcast. Noah was in front of him, Christopher could recognize his red sneakers. "Let go of me Noah, I already gave you $1,400 dollars, I don't know what else you want me to pay you" Christopher tells him without being able to look him in the eye because one of the bodyguards had his hand resting heavily on his head. "Don't play dumb, I know who your family is, I know what company your father owns, and I know what company your mother owns, as well as how much money your parents have in their bank accounts Noah says with an ambitious voice. "What do you want?" Christopher asks again. “Ten billion dollars, I want it in my bank account by Friday, or else…” Noah says. "Or if not, what?" Christopher asks not wanting to know. "You'll have to sell me your sister's virginidades" Noah replies with perversion. Christopher felt his heart stop, but he had no choice but to accept Noah's second counteroffer, it would be much easier for Christopher to convince his sister to have sex with Noah than to start telling his father the truth about his addiction. for the game, for the bets because I knew that with how demanding he was against vices, I was going to be able to even send him to one of those places where people gather to talk about their experiences facing an addiction, and not In agreement with this, I would be able to make him go to therapy with a psychiatrist. And he wasn't crazy enough to have to go where one. “Okay, I accept, I'm going to sell you my sister's virginity in exchange for payment of my gambling debt” Christopher finally says after a minute of silence has passed. A minute of silence that became eternal for Noah, and that he was about to order his bodyguard to hit Christopher to make him talk with this. “Okay, you have a week to do it, or else I'll be forced to take further action,” Noah says. "No, no, I swear to you that for this week you will have my sister in your bed" says Christopher. “Okay, now, get out of there, I don't want to see you around here again, wasting my time on bets and games you don't know how to win,” says Noah. The bodyguards fortnight, without that being an order, was enough for them to know what to do at that moment, and then, they took Christopher out of the dark room, they took him by both arms, and almost dragging him, Unfortunately for him, there were enough people in the bar at that time to have seen it all, and it was a total embarrassment. The burly bodyguards took Christopher to the door, and the burly man in charge of receiving people opened the door to let his colleagues throw Christopher into the street, falling to his knees. "You know, if we see you around here again, we'll beat you up," says one of the strongmen to Christopher before his colleague closed the door. "They are morons!" Christopher yells at them. Christopher stands up, and begins to walk through the dark streets of the city for a few kilometers until he manages to reach the house of Melany, his sister Samantha's best friend, he arrived there because the girls were at a sleepover, only they two, but they had been quite amusing. Christopher knew that if he came home like he was, his parents would start the questioning, and he didn't want to have to explain anything because he would blurt out the harsh truth that he shouldn't do. "Good evening, is my sister here?" Christopher asks Sarah, the maid who works at Melany's house, opening the door when he rang her bell. "Good evening, yes sir, come in, I'll tell Miss Samantha to come down, would you like something to drink?" Sarah says. “A glass of water would be nice, thanks,” says Christopher. Christopher walks into the house, Sarah closes the door, and she is lost down the hall as she goes up the stairs. Christopher walks over to the armchair in the living room, and sits there to wait for his sister. Samantha comes down minutes after Sarah went up to the second floor of the house, she was worried, because she and Christopher had a very good sibling relationship, they got along very well, they always told each other everything, and they looked for each other when they needed each other. “Chris! What happened? What are you doing here?" she asks Samantha as she walks up to him to hug him like they used to do every time they saw each other. "I need to talk to you, but not here, can we go home?" Christopher tells her after having reciprocated her hug. "How come we go home? Christopher, I'm having a sleepover with my best friend, and I just got here an hour ago so mom was able to bring me back before she left for her business dinner,” she says, disgusted at her request. “Please, I really need to talk to you,” Christopher says begging. “It really can't be tomorrow? I promise that tomorrow at 11:00 in the morning when I get home I'll run to your room so we can talk about whatever, but now don't make me go home, okay?" begs Samantha pouting. When Samantha pouted, there was no power to make her father or brother resist whatever she wanted, for even though she was now a young adult, and not a child, she still looked cute and irresistible to tell him no. to what she asked. “Okay, okay, tomorrow as soon as you get home we'll talk, I'll call a taxi” says Samantha. “No, don't worry, my driver is here, let's eat pizza first, it just arrived, and it's your favorite Chris, stay a while to eat with us” Melany tells him.
