Chapter 2

I start walking towards the other side of the road heading to the church, when a car suddenly comes from nowhere with high speed and almost hit me, thank God he was able to use the brake early enough but he still managed to knock me to the floor.

The car stopped and its driver got out.

'Are you crazy!" He shouts at me after confirming that I was alive and alright.

'How can you drive so recklessly! Are you trying to kill me?" I yell at him raging

with anger.

'Recklessly!?" He yells back. 'I am the reckless one? You were casually strolling in the middle of the street like you own the god-damn road or something and I kept honking but you wouldn't move. Tell me, were you trying to commit suicide?"

That was when I realized that I was indeed in the middle of the road, I was so

lost in thought that I didn't realize that I had gotten into the road.

I start sobbing.

He panics. 'Are you okay?" He asks, taking my hand and spins me around a

bit dramatically. Checking for visible injuries.

'I'm fine, I'm not hurt." I say as I dis-entangle my hand from his. 'I'm sorry I was really lost in thought, I didn't realize I had walked into the road. You see my daughter is in the hospital. I say pointing towards the general direction of the hospital. I was just told that she needs a kidney transplant and I don't know where to"… I catch myself mid-speech realizing that I was babbling about my personal problem to a total stranger who couldn't care less.

'I'm sorry". I say as I attempt to leave.

'How much do you need?" He suddenly asks.

'Excuse me?"

'How much do you need for the kidney transplant? 'He asks again

'One hundred thousand" I say shamelessly. If taking money from people in the street is what it takes to save my child's life. I will do it without a single hesitation.

'Perfect." He simply says.

'What do you mean by perfect?" I ask seriously confused and on the verge of

anger.

'I'll give you two hundred thousand."

'Excuse me?" I ask, taking a step back and looking around, making sure we aren't alone on the street. This man could be a kidnapper. Or does he think I'm an escort. Who even pays that amount of money for an escort?

'Are you joking? Why would you give me that amount of money?"

'Because you need and I have it. Now wouldn't I be such a terrible man if I could save a child's life with such a mundane amount of money and I refuse to?" He says smiling at me.

Oh my God. Tears begin to well up in my eyes and I start sobbing. God I'm so sorry for all the times I doubted you. I can't believe I'm standing face to face with a real life angel because who else would be willing to help a total stranger in such a way?

'And I'll need something from you in return". He says looking at me with

seriousness in his eyes.

My heart sinks. How naïve and stupid of me to think he'd just give me money without asking for anything in return. I take everything I said back, he's no angel. He doesn't even look like one, he looks dangerous with his chiseled face and evil smirk. He looks more like a demon.

What could he want from me? And then realization hits. Sex! For that amount of money be probably wants me to be his sex slave.

'I'm not going to have sex with you!" I spit out, totally disgusted and annoyed

He starts laughing.

'I know you don't know me, but what do you think I am? A savage? I don't want to have sex with you".

'Then what do you want?" I ask as relief flows through me.

' I want to marry you".
