Chapter 4 Deaths paid

Jhonia arrive home after work! "I have been worried sick!" Her uncle said, slapping her across the face. She held her face looking back at her uncle from the corner of her eyes, not a single tear within them.

"Where have you been, Jhonia?" He asked? Reaching out for her face as if he was sorry. Jhonia stepped back from him. "Jhonia I'm"

"Dave overheard you talking about selling me off into marriage to pay off my parents' deaths. He wanted me to run away. Now, that I have returned the sooner the better. Shall we get this over with?"

Jhonia asked? She walked away from him passing his wife to the room under the staircase which was given to her. She picked out clothes and went out to go upstairs for a shower.

She stopped halfway up the stairs. "This money you're selling me for is to pay off my parents' deaths, make sure they're here when the money is being given," Jhonia said and walked up the stairs.

"What is she up to?" Dana asked? Walking over to Bryane.

"I don't know, and I don't care, five million dollars for her is too much but we need the money. Let's get it over with." Bryane responded to her.

"What about our son? He left to protect her but she returned and he didn't." Dana said, to him with one arm cross and the other holding her chin.

"Don't worry. Home is always home, that boy will return whether he likes it or not." Bryane said to her. He then picked his phone and call the group of them that was there before.

"Hello, come here quickly it's time to collect the money," Bryane said, and ended the call! He then calms himself down and dials another number.

"Hello, Mr. Lindow." A lady's voice came in on the phone.

"Mrs. Pinnock. I called you to inform you that you can be in an hour, I have told her about the marriage contract, she has agreed to it." Bryane said, hoping that she hadn't changed her mind.

"Of course, she would this her parents death she's paying off! I will see you in half the hour, I was already nearby luckily you called." Mrs. Pinnock said, with a small giggle. To let Bryane know he almost loses the contract marriage.

"Haha! Mrs. Pinnock, I'm most say I'm very lucky then. See you." Bryane said, and end the call looking at his wife with approval. She smiles with excitement.

"We are rich," Dana said, happily hugging her husband.

"Shh. Let's celebrate after she's sold! I will pay off her parents' death and we are free." Bryane said.

"Of course, you will. I mean you should pay it off! Also, no one will owe anyone anymore, and I will be free from their deaths and of course. I have a question? But I will ask later." Jhonia said, coming down the stairs in a dress.

"Stunning." The man from the group of men, who tried to touch Jhonia said, as he entered their house. "Very beautiful and elegant too, but what a shame." He said, with a smirk.

Jhonia narrowed her eyes at him, as she wondered why he said that? "However, that is none of your concerns now. Is it?" Jhonia said, to him walking down the stair. She went to her stairs room and retrieve the paperwork.

She stands with it behind her, as they all waited for Mrs. Pinnock to arrive. After some time someone knocked on the door. Jhonia walked over to the door and open it. Stood before her is a well-dressed woman, her jewelry shines without the sunlight.

"Come in," Jhonia said, stepping back for her to enter. A man enters with her after closing the door Jhonia extended her hand to the man. "Hello, I'm Jhonia. But I suppose you already know that?" Jhonia asked?

"Hehe! This is my driver Jhonia, not your husband. He. Your husband is busy in his company. You will meet him later, are you excited?" Mrs. Pinnock said, with a pleasant smile.

The man nodded at Jhonia as she looked up at him from Mrs. Pinnock. "I see. My apologies for mistaking you." Jhonia said, retrieving her hand. She then extended her arm showing them to the hall of which her uncle, his wife, and the so-called money collector sit waiting.

"You are very beautiful, Jhonia. This dress or anything like it will be left behind. You're entering wealth and lifestyle these clothes are not fit. Understand?" Mrs. Pinnock asked?

.Just when I thought she and I would at least get along, Jhonia thought.

"Understood," Jhonia said, with a smile.

After everyone is seated. "There's no need to beat around the bush. I will get right to it." Mrs. Pinnock said, looking at Bryane.

"She is right! And so I would like to ask. If you're paying in cash or cheque?" Jhonia asks? Agreeing with Mrs. Pinnock then asked?

"Cash is here as well as cheque, Ms. Smith. Why do you inquire the status of the money coming?" Mrs. Pinnock asked?

Jhonia smile. "We are not children, Mrs. Pinnock but adults. I'm also sure you know why I'm agreeing to this contract marriage? Which I would be sold into with or without my knowledge." Jhonia said, her uncle was surprised and taken back.

"Jhonia, what has gotten into you?" Bryane asks? Raising his voice.

"Mr. Lindow, allow the girl to speak. Yes, Jhonia I'm aware. Please continued!" Mrs. Pinnock said.

"This here in my hand is a paid form. My parents were murdered... The cops ended their investigation and close the case, my cousin takes me from work! We went on the run... But I return because of course, my parents' owes are now my owes. We will all sign it, whether or not your money is cheque or cash." Jhonia said.

She put down the contract for everyone to see. Mrs. Pinnock smile at the fact that she was this smart and her uncle Bryane didn't know of it. Bryane reached out for the contract looking at Jhonia like she was a completely new person.

"I agree with her terms it seems it's her only one, and from running away to returning home for the contract marriage. Everyone will sign including your wife." Mrs. Pinnock said.

"I don't understand. Why do I have to sign it?" Bryane asks? As he realized this five million is the only thing and the last he will receive off Jhonia. He looked up at her seated across from him.

.When did she get this smart? This was supposed to be a once in a lifetime deal when they keep coming to claim the money her parents owe she would pay it. But this is too much, Jhonia you will regret this. My so-called sister grew you well! But just you wait, Bryane thoughts.

"You most, of course, you're my guardian. Are you not? Also, what the contract withholds... If there should be anyone who claims to be the person my parents owe after this, the money and the small business the money was a loan from will be investigated and those involved will face charges. This is my only request for this contract marriage." Jhonia said.

Her uncle was surprised! The fact that he could go to jail for fraud for his schemes, scares him. "Okay. We will sign it, and as you most." Bryane said, thinking she would back down.

"Oh, I have already signed," Jhonia said, with a smile.
