Love from My Dominant Boss

“Natalie, do you think they’ll really break Steven’s legs? My parents value his life over their own, so they’ll definitely lose their minds if anything happens to him!”

Natalie gave me a pat on the shoulder as she comforted me, “I think he should be fine. I mean, what else can they do if your family doesn’t pay up? Kill him? Don’t worry, Anna. Your parents aren’t dumb, so I’m sure they’ll know to call the police if those men try to hurt him.”

What Natalie said made sense, and I felt a lot better after hearing it.

“It’s getting late, you should get some sleep. I’ll wait and see if my mom calls again. She said those men would be collecting the money in an hour, so I’m really scared that something bad might happen.”

“Nah, I’m not tired. Besides, I can’t possibly fall asleep knowing how anxious you are. I’ll wait here with you,” Natalie said as she sat down beside me and put an arm around my shoulder.

Time ticked by, and two hours soon came to pass with no call nor text from Mom whatsoever. I felt somewhat uneasy as I glanced at the time on my phone.

Why hasn’t Mom called me yet? Did those men really let them off the hook so easily?

“Why hasn’t my mom called? It’s been so long now…” I mumbled to myself worriedly as I gripped the phone tightly in my sweaty palms.

“Maybe you should try calling her to find out what’s going on over there. Who knows, maybe those men left after realizing they wouldn’t be getting any money!”

Natalie grew anxious as well when she saw me panicking.
