Chapter 4 He's looking for his ring.

Her legs went weak immediately she stood up. She staggered to the table and picked up the lamp. After increasing the brightness, she walked to the side of the bed and picked her clothes from the ground.

She slipped them on, although they were wrinkled but that wasn't something to care about now.

Natasha held the lamp and searched around for the ring. She checked every box and corner but to her disappointment, the ring wasn't in any of them.

She ran her hand through her now messy hair as she looked around the room. Could it be that the ring wasn't here? No, she did not just give her first time to a stranger only to lose at the end.

Natasha kept looking around. She checked under the bed and around the floor but still didn't find it. Her eyes moved to the black suit pants laying on the floor. Could it be there?

Something told her to check so she walked towards it and picked it up. Her hand slipped into the first pocket, nothing. She slipped her hand into the second pocket and pulled out a phone.

Feeling something else inside, she threw the phone on the bed and slipped her hand inside again. When she pulled it out, her eyes stared at her hand in disbelief.

The multi-million dollar ring. She was holding it and it felt light compared to how heavy she thought it would be. Natasha couldn't hold the tear that slipped down her face.

"I found it. You'll be safe Elina." She muttered as she dropped the lamp on the table. She looked back at the bed where he laid, already asleep.

She has to leave now. Turning to the door, Natasha paused as she pulled in open before slipping through it. She closed the door and tiptoed down the passage.

She didn't take the elevator she took earlier, instead she took the exit elevator that led to the back of the hotel. Her legs ached with every step she took but she was too excited about the ring to even care.

Once she got out, she hailed a taxi because her weak legs could no longer carry her body. Now she had to contact her friend who knew someone that ran an auction.

She hopes she can get some good money out of the ring to pay her sister's hospital bills and her debts.

When she got home, she gave her friend, Jeremy a call and informed him about the ring. He told her to wait and made a call to his friend. After confirming some things, he came over to get the ring. Turns out an auction was taking place at the time, at to her surprise, the ring was placed as the most valuable items in the auction, starting off with a bid of 10 million dollars.

Natasha was shocked to hear the amount but she was bothered. What if nobody bought it because of the price? 10 million dollars is a lot of money.

That man must be very rich to have a ring that cost so much.

Natasha laid on her bed after having her bath and eating dinner. Jeremy told her to wait till the next morning because by then, the auction would have ended.

Natasha stared at the ceiling as her thoughts wandered back to Jackson.

"So pretty."- she recalled him saying. She remembered the surprise on his face when she dared to grab his dick. The way he slammed into her, to the extent she cried.

Well, it was her first time so it was meant to be painful. She just hopped she didn't leave any clue that can be tracked back to her.

Natasha closed her eyes as she tried to sleep. She was tired after all the thrust she had to endure from that monster. Speaking of which, she has to take contraceptive pills. That monster released into her without any protection.

After all, she got what she wanted. It was worth the trouble. Natasha smiled as she hugged her pillow. She can't wait to see Elina back on her feet.

The next morning, Natasha woke up to a bank notification on her phone. She thought she was seeing things. 40 million dollars was sitting in her account. Just like that.

With a smile, she jumped out of bed and ran out of her room. Barging into Tiana's room, she jumps on the bed and grab her shoulders, shaking her until she opens her eyes.

"Tiana, wake up." Natasha shouted as she shook the sleep out of her eyes.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." Tiana replied and Natasha let go of her.

"Look." Natasha said, holding up her phone for Tiana to see.

"No way." Tiana exclaimed in disbelief. "You actually pulled this off."

Natasha nodded. "I'm going to the hospital right now. When I return, we'll have a small celebration party."

"Ok. Hurry up and go to the hospital. Elina is waiting."

Natasha nodded and jumped down from the bed before running out. She couldn't conceal her smile. Now she had enough money to cover Elina's medical bills. She's going to pay upfront for the upcoming months so she won't have to worry about looking for money when the time comes.

After taking her bath and getting ready, Natasha left for the hospital. She contacted the people she owed money and repayed them back.

In a well lit spacious room, a man in all black sat behind the table with a deadly look on his face. He tapped the table with the gun in his hand. One that had claimed lives and was about to claim another life if nobody spoke up about where his million dollars ring had gone.

The people in the room trembled with fear. They knew they weren't leaving here until the ring was found. A man who knelt beside an already lifeless body was visibly shaking. The shell from the bullet that hit the first man was laying in front of him, telling him that he was the second person and if he didn't speak up, he'll be the next to lay lifeless on the ground.
