Chapter 6
“Harry owes us 150,000 dollars. You’ve got one month to pay, or we’ll kill your whole family!”
After reading it, I collapsed to the floor, hands shaking uncontrollably.
No one knew–I had a boyfriend then. I was pregnant with his child. I thought I could finally live a peaceful life, but then, this disaster hit me out of nowhere.
Hands trembling, I dialed the number on the note. The person on the other end refused to talk over the phone. He told me to bring whatever money I had and come in person.
I had no choice. The problem had to be dealt with. I borrowed 30,000 dollars from my boyfriend and rushed through the rain to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts.
When the gang saw the money, they sheered and surrounded me with baseball bats.
“The note said 150,000 dollars. Can’t you read, huh?”
“This is 30 grand. You think we’re idiots? Where’s the rest?”
Forcing down my fear, I tried to explain.
“Boss, you guys already took 15 grand from our home last time. Add today’s 30 grand, and there’s 105,000 left. Just give me time, I swear I’ll pay it all-“|
Before I could finish, a man with a long scar across his face smashed a bat into my leg.

“Are you messing with us? What 15 grand? Watch your damn mouth!
“Harry owes us a million. All we’ve gotten is this 30 grand. That 15 grand -are you dreaming or what?”
Clutching my leg, I gritted my teeth. “Fine. We still owe 120,000. We’ll pay!”
But they weren’t satisfied. They thought I made up the 15 grand story to scam them. And bringing only 30 grand? An insult.

Fists and kicks rained down like a storm. I screamed, begging them to stop, but my cries were drowned out by their shouting.
They only stopped when I

One of the guys felt under my nose, confirmed I was still alive, and then tossed me at the hospital entrance.
When I woke up again, I was already a

slightly swollen belly–tears slid down uncontrollably.
The baby was gone. My baby was gone…
When my boyfriend found out, he instantly turned on me.
“You can’t even keep the baby–what good are you?
“And your brother? Useless trash! Owes that much and runs off?
