Lucille.
The popular and cruel business mogule stood in a domineering manner before my dad and I.
He was holding a rod that rested on the floor, he moved to the left and to the right while I could perceive my father's heart beat heavily.
I wanted to tell my father to be calm but I myself was scared before Russell.
I've heard so many evils about him, might be rumours , but no one in the state like to have anything to do with him.
"You owe me $600,000 and for three years, you still haven't paid? have I not being patient enough?" He asked as he turned his firm face to my dad.
My dad shook briefly in fear and said with a crack scary voice; "Since everything turned worse for me, it's impossible for me to pay you."
"So...I should dash you the money, is that?" Russell asked with a wicked smirk on his lips.
"I should dash you my hard earned money?" He shouted in a way that made me shook vigorously.
I held unto my father tight and kept wishing inside of me that Russell will let go of the money.
"Hum...you have a beautiful daughter right there." Russel said and smirked wickedly at me.
He moved to me and I hurriedly hide behind my dad.
I was nineteen years but still scared as fuck before Russell.
"Don't run away!" Russel said while I just peeped at him from my father's back.
"Please let my daughter out of this, is there any other way I could pay?" My father asked.
"Sure, you can pay with your dear life....or, you let me use your daughter." Russell said and shot me my dad a devilish look.
"She's just a teenager that is just about to complete her secondary education, please don't be cruel to her." My father pleaded.
We both know that if Russell has me, he would deflower me and make love with me anytime he likes, it's the kind of life I hate to live.
"Please sir, forgive my dad." I tried to say behind my dad but he only salivated at me.
That made me scared and looked away from his cruel face.
"What's her name?" He asked.
While my dad was hesitating to speak, he shouted ; "What's her name, you useless man?"
"Lucille." My father quickly replied.
"Fine name." He smiled dryly.
"Sit down." He commanded my father and he sat, I was exposed and stood still.
"Mr President will be resuming this term with the students of Kavard school, are you aware?" He asked my dad.
"Yea! It's all over the news." My dad replied gently.
"I will sponsor your daughter to Kavard school, let her drop out from that poor school she had been attending." Russell said and I furrowed my brow.
Kavard school was the biggest school in America and one of the top five best schools in the world.
Only elite attends the school and I had always wished that I attended but I have never been graced too cause dad was poor.
Why in the world will Russel ever decide to sponsor me to that magnificent and exorbitant school? Does he know what he was saying?
My dad's mouth dropped, he obviously didn't know if he should thank Russell yet cause he does not even know what he was up to.
"Lucille, to pay for your father's debt, you have to do one single thing for me in Kavard school, if you accomplish it, I will write off all your father's debt and your father willl stop being a debtor.
"I...I....had be..." I stuttered but he interrupted.
"Make sure you seduce Leroy
Mr. President
until he falls in love with you, after he had fully fallen in love with you, break up with him, tell him you are no more interested and that you never loved him. Can you do that?" He asked.
"It will be hard to reach Mr. President in school, he would be surrounded always with guards, how can I ever get the chance to seduce him?" I asked.
"Maybe I should take your father along with me , then and let him serve me until the year his service is enough to pay off my debt." He said angrily and stood.
"Fine, fine...I will do it. Once I make Mr. President's fall in love with me and then break his heart, my dad will be free, right?" I asked.
"Definitely. Send your full name and picture to my mail so I can process your admission, you are resuming on Monday." He said and as he walked out, he paused.
He turned back to me and said; "Within five weeks of your resumption to Kavard school, you must accomplish my mission."
He then walked away.
I sighed and sunk to the seat beside my dad.
