Chapter 6 Six

I stared at my phone's screen and "Dr Martins" displayed in bold letters. My mind immediately went to my mum. Was she okay? Did something happen? Is my mum dead?

I picked call with shaky hands and a furiously beating heart

" Dr Martins, is everything okay? " I asked immediately I picked the phone. I was praying so hard for my mum to be okay.

"I'm afraid not Miss Brown. You see your mum has to undergo another surgery as soon as possible, 10 days is the highest she can stay without this surgery. She needs it urgently. We've pushed it forward for too long"

" But my mum is okay right now?" I asked again

"Yh she is, for now but her vitals are looking very bad. She's at a very high risk."

" Okay doctor, I'll look for the money before ten days is over"

" I'm so sorry Scarlett."

"It's fine" and with that i ended the call. I felt so downcast I dont think I'll be sleeping for the rest of the night. How was I supposed to raise three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in ten days?

DAMIEN

I sat in my office, viewing the city from where I sat. I swung side to side in my chair, deep in thoughts. It was barely 10am in the morning and I was in no mood to work.

The thoughts of one red haired filled my mind, I never thought I was going to run into her in a restaurant. Who would've thought she worked as a waitress. Alex has been on my life since yesterday, I didn't realized I was staring at her that much. What the hell is wrong with me?

The more I keep thinking about her the more curious I am about her and the more I want to find out about her. I turned towards my table, picking my phone off it as I scrolled through my contact. I needed to contact my private investigator. I stopped at the name, dialing it immediately.

" Detective Daniels" I spoke immediately I sensed the other end has been received

"Good morning Mr Blackwell. What can I do for you this morning?" He asked me, I could sense the excitement in his voice.

"I need you to run a little background check on somebody for me. I don't really know much about her but I can say she's a red haired who works for the new restaurant "yummy tastes"

" okay that would be enough. Though I'll have to check the restaurant so I can get a picture of her"

"Do what you have to do. Just make sure you have everything sent to my email by noon"

"Okay Mr Blackwell. Will do" and with that i ended the call. I stared blankly for some minutes, before I finally switched on my computer trying to get some work done. I worked and before I knew it hours flew by and it was noon.

I finished up the particular work I was doing before I logged into my email on my computer. Just as I signed in I saw a new email from detective Daniels and smiled to my self. I clicked on it and opened the file attached to it and a beautiful picture of the red head came into view.

Name: Scarlett Elizabeth Brown

Date of birth: October 15th, 1999

Age: 23 years

Occupation: Waitress

Last occupation: lawyer in Blackwell law firm.

Ohh so she used to be one of my lawyers. I wonder why she quit. Was she not paid well? Or perhaps she was fired. I was curious so I put a call across to the law firm.

I asked if they had any worker under her name and they gave me a positive response saying she was infact under a three months suspension for disrespecting a client. I hanged up the call afterwards, going back to looking at her profile.

The profile further went on to state her house address, relationship status, blood type, net worth, criminal records and family members, and that was where I saw she had only her mother who has been suffering from colon cancer for months now and her net worth was obviously too low to foot the bills of a cancer patient.

That might be bad news but it was good news to me. It will make convincing her to be my contract wife easy as she'll need the money, she wouldn't have a choice. But how do I approach her with something like that. I shrugged it off, she'll be grabbing onto the opportunity to be that much close to me. Every girl wants me.

It was lunch break so I decided to go eat lunch and where else than "yummy tastes". I took off without bothering to call on Alex abd Rider, less crowd, less noise, more peace. I got to.the restaurant and sat at a table where I could get a full few of the place. That way it was easy to watch her as she worked.

I ate my food while watching her, and for the next three days it was like that. I noticed she had this gloomy look on her face and when worked without a smile and even the one time she took my orders for the past few days, she paid me no attention and did nothing but just take my orders.

I had been thinking of how to approach her with the proposal but each time i came later in the evening, she was either gone or still working and I couldn't go to her house that would be stalking. So I kept frequenting the restaurant thinking of a way to approach and I decided it was going to be today.

As usual I strolled in at lunch break. I had hoped she would be the one to take my orders but another girl did, and man! Was she throwing herself at me. She gave me flirtatious looks and seductive voices but I gave her a cold glare and just ordered my food.

She took my orders and left and after a few minutes she came back. She placed my food in front of me and turned to leave but I decided to ask

"Hey"

"Yes" she turned her head almost immediately like she had been waiting for it.

"Do you know when she gets off work" I asked her, nodding towards Scarlett. At that her faced dropped a bit in disappointment.

"Uhm I'm sorry I cant disclose anything about our workers, it's against the rules" she said as she slightly frowned her face. I sighed knowing she was jealous I wasn't asking about her. I put my hand in my pocket, bringing out my phone

"Give me your account details" I asked her opening my phone and logging into my bank app. She happily called it and after a few minutes I sent her 50k dollars

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed immediately she saw it.

"So do you know when she gets off work now?"

" Normally it's 6pm but I heard she was working over time so I think she'll be going home 10pm tonight"

"Okay " I replied as she turned away bouncing happily with her fake lashes. I told y'all, they're all gold diggers. I ate my food in silence.

At exactly 10pm that night I drove to the front of the restaurant in my Maybach Landaulet and waited in the car for her to step out. I waited for another 5 minutes before I saw her step out. She was looking really tired. I came down from the car immediately she took a few steps past my car.

"Scarlett!" I called her name to grab her attention and she turned to look at me, scrunching up her eyebrows

"May I have a few minutes of your time?" I asked as I approached her. She only stared at me in confusion.
