Obsession

Chapter 33

Saturday - 13:55

Aniyah was back at home, slamming her door shut behind her and dropping her bag by the entrance. The rest of the trip was just as boring and exhausting as the beginning.

The psychology convention felt even worse because she was sat next to Matteo the first few hours. When they went to the stalls and stands she tried avoiding him at all costs, which he didn't mind.

She needed her rest right now because she was about to be back on the road for another hour and a half with Matteo. The hard drive her father had her pick up was worth 1 billion, if she helped sell it then she could get 3% of that billion. 30 million.

That price was too high for Aniyah to pass up on. So she had to say yes, it was an offer she couldn't refuse.

She pauses in her living area when she sees 2 black duffle bags sitting on her floor. She crouches down, unzipping the first bag to see stacks of notes, each stacks having a small paper tie with the amount on.

There's a note in the bag so she reads it.

It was 15.6m but I thought I'd round it up to 16m ;)
M. M
p.s clean the money, please
and yes you can take a £50 note out and use it, but just not all at once.

"This man did not just give me 400 thousand quid." She kisses her teeth and rips up the note he wrote.

The next bag had a lot more in it than the first bag, it looked like over double than the first. Yet again there's another note.

37.5m. Ant's job by the way. Thought you might as well get half :)
M. M
clean the money. Thanks.

"I'm fucking rich. I'm rich as shit." She grabs one of the stacks, ripping off the paper and spreading the money across the floor. "Crazy."

She lets it sink in for about 4 hours, not on purpose of course. She sat on the couch and looked at all the money, the next thing she knew she was jolting awake from her sleep.

She tried checking both of her phones for the time but they're both dead. She accidentally packed her chargers in her suitcase so she couldn't charge them on the way back and she didn't think about it when she got home.

Opening the door, she greets the two men sitting on the bench outside. She put two pillows down a few days into her new arrival because the bench looked uncomfortable to sit on for a long period of time, they took it very well.

"Miss Young. Hello."

"Do you mind telling me the time? My phone is dead."

"It's six thirty."

"Thank you so much." She thanks him, shutting the door behind her and taking a deep breath. "A few hours to do whatever I want."

Firstly, she searches through her suitcase for her phone charger. Putting her phone on charge she decides to choose what she wants to wear to sell the hard drive. Apparently she is expected, along with Matteo.

She was never told a dress code and she doesn't feel like wearing a dress today. And seeing as she wasn't informed she decides to lay out cargo pants, a matching t-shirt and jacket, and airforces.

Once laying them all out, Aniyah takes a trip downstairs to grab a snack. Checking the fridge for anything good she comes up short, looking through the cupboards she finds a packet of crisps.

Hopping on the counter and grabbing her charging phone she unlocks it, seeing 9 missed calls from Vincent, 8 missed calls from her mum and 12 missed calls from her father.
