Then die

"Then die sweetheart," Mister Fletcher spread out his hand and raised his shoulders upwards. "This world will remain the same even if you die, maybe your worth will increase if you end up dying?" His words were heartless and cold, they made Ari feel like she was a fool who was trying to evoke emotions from people who had no hearts.

"I beg you, Mister Fletcher," Ari clasped her hands with tears swirling in her eyes. "I cannot lose this money. This belongs to someone else, if I lose this money, then he will kill me. I… I promise that I will pay you back! Just … Just leave this stack with me."

Ari was on the verge of breaking, she had ended up with a debt that was not hers. Her parents refused to see her, and they did not even open their doors when she went to look for them. On top of everything that was happening to her, if she were to end up with a debt that she owed to Nicolai De Luca… Ari had no idea what would happen to her.
