"Good" Michael smiled and turned to pick up his phone "the first one was two million dollars, the second one was three million. The third, fourth and fifth are five million dollars each" he looked at her surprised "did you pack all the clothes there? Are you that in need?" He sighed and did the sum up "that will give you twenty million dollars, wow" he looked up at her "you are owning me a huge amount of money, when are you going to start paying?"

Sasha already felt like dying, how did it turn out to be such amount? She looked at the bags on the floor and couldn't believe this, how can this little bags get to such amount? She looked at her husband and he was looking at her with his arms folded on his chest and his eyebrow raised "I...I will start saving up then."

"No, no, no, you are going to start today, you have to give me something. You can't tell me you haven't made any saving since you have been working?"

Sasha bit her lower lip, all she has in her account as her savings is fifteen million dollars, if she should give him all her savings, it still won't be enough, her mind ran wild as she thought of what to do "I might be able to pay up in time if you allow me to continue working, I can't be making savings at home."

Michael offered a rare smile "fine then, you will resume work tomorrow, oh that reminds me, you have tea party to attend with mom tomorrow, so I guess next tomorrow then?"

Sasha couldn't believe that her little  gamble worked, finally, no more staying at home, she couldn't contain the happiness that flushed on her face as she looked at him with sparkling eyes wanting to say thank you and to really mean it but only to hear him say "but first you have to give me some money tonight" and she swallowed her words. 

She reached for her jean pocket and got out her phone, to her surprise, he called out his account number for her and her hands punched the numbers into her phone angrily as she transfered five million dollars to him, it's the least she can do for now. She looked at him with an angry face and he pretended not to see it, just what will he be doing with twenty million with all the money he has? She can't help but wonder.

The sound of a message tune was heard and he smiled while he opened the message "five million? That's something, at least three more pays with the same amount and you will be done, free from debt. That's good, nice doing business with you" he smiled to her, picked up his laptop and walked up the stairs. Sasha watched him go and cursed him every step he took, here she was thinking he actually saved her not knowing he only wanted to lure her in to a bigger mess.

She sighed and stared at the bags on the floor, it's all that Bella's fault, if she had allowed her to leave when she wanted to, then she wouldn't have had this big debt hanging on her neck, she cursed again and dragged the bags up the stairs one step at a time.

The next day, Sasha was picked up by Vanessa in her white limo and they left for the afternoon party. Gary knocked on his boss office door and entered "Boss, mistress has been picked up by your mother" he reported.

Michael was standing beside his desk drawer and was flipping the pages of a document in his hand when he heard Gary's report, he looked at him and nodded before returning his eyes on the papers. Gary turned to walk away then "wait" he heard and turned to face his boss again.

Michael walked around his desk and perched on it while still looking at the document "here, send this to her company" he handed the document to Gary who took and went through it.

His eyes lit up in surprise when he noticed it was a contract and not just any contract, a contract a lot of other big companies will fight to have "boss, why are we sending this to mistress company?"

Gary watched as a rare smile appeared on his boss face, he has been working alongside Michael for like ten years now but this is the first time he is seeing such a happy smile on his lips "she owes me" was his reply before he walked back to his seat and sat down, the smile still playing on his lips.

"I don't understand" Gary's face showed his confusion and that only brightened Michael's smile.

"She owe me twenty million dollars and paid five million last night, she still has extra fifteen to pay and I don't want to make things that difficult for her" Michael answered.

Gary thought on his words and when he figured it out, his eyes lit up "so boss is having me send this seven million worth contract to her company so that she will use the money to pay you?"

"You see, that's why you are still by my side" Michael admitted.

Gary wowed in his mind, why is it that his boss is acting as if he is possessed at times? If he knew he was still going to give her contract that will help her pay her debt then why make her pay the money from the beginning? "But boss if I am correct, you giving her the contract and still have to be the one to pay her for the contract, isn't that equivalent to paying yourself?"

"She doesn't know that and yes, you mustn't let her know the contract is from me, is that clear?" Michael asked.

"Yes boss, very clear" Gary answered still surprised "but boss, since you knew you will be giving her contract to help pay for her debt, why not tell her to forget about the money?"
