Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Enzo was impatient

After that day, Min and I went home safely and I thought it was over, a man with a lot of money and a lot of power in his hands like Enzo could later marry a woman in the elite and he would soon forget about Min and me. If at that time, I agree to give Min to him for upbringing, I'm afraid Min will soon be abandoned.

But maybe I was wrong, that night Enzo made a deal with me, and then his men came to my house and bothered me. Not that they came to intimidate or coerce me but that they continue to negotiate with me on Enzo's behalf.

Once or twice I didn't notice much, they came up with something very rich and valuable but I flatly refused. They do it like telling me to sell my baby, it's silly for me to give my daughter to them.

But it didn't end that fast, they often came to my house more often than before, a week with seven days and six days they came to negotiate with me and the things they brought were also of greater value such as luxury cars, villas, money and a lot of money and more than just Enzo said that if I agreed to let him take care of Min, he would buy the company I was working for and give me the position of director of that company. It's a dream. Some dreamers don't even think about it.

I was infuriated by them, threw the large valuables on the table to the ground and shouted:

“Don't bring this stuff here anymore, I told you I don't accept this nonsense!”

The man in front of me said pleasant words:

"Mrs. Flora, if you think about it again, with these good things, you can be at ease all your life without worrying, Miss Mindian can also live a better life and she should have it."

I sighed and shook my hand saying, “You've said these things over a hundred times, and as before, this time I refuse too.”

Enzo's men have been coming to my house and bothering me for over two months. I was going to go to the police, but maybe it was a little superfluous because they couldn't afford to get me out of this.

It's been over two months and Enzo hasn't received my consent, maybe he's lost his patience about this.

I shout loudly at those who come to bother us so often:

“Get out of here now! Get out! If you come back again, I'll call the police!"

Even though I knew the police were incapable of solving this for me, Enzo had a lot of power and a big relationship, and I couldn't compare it to him.

And Enzo's patience ran out, initially, his subordinates came to negotiate for the last two months, and then… they started using threats to force me to give my daughter to them.

I look at the people in front of me, they're saying things that are hard to hear for me, fortunately, my daughter is sleeping upstairs so she doesn't know. From the evening that Enzo picked up Min, I was afraid that she would once again be taken away without me, so two months of Enzo's subordinates came here as well as two months I did not go to work and Min did not go to school. I will be patient until this is over but…. Enzo's starting to get angry.

“Mrs. Flora, don't blame us too much, you start!” - The tallest man among them spoke loudly.

After that, they rushed use in with baseball bat tools, and big hammers, and began to smash my house. The constant sound of collapse made me panic and fear, and I rushed to stop them.

“Stop it now! Stop, don't smash my house! Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!” - I scream like a lunatic but every time I rush in to stop them, someone pulls me out, one of them holds on to me no matter how I scream or cry they still don't stop.

All the precious things in the house were smashed by them, from things of great value such as televisions, furniture... to the souvenirs of... my husband and me and my daughter...

The helplessness and discomfort made me unable to breathe, the tears made my face dirty, and my body trembled with panic in front of the scene.

Their mad banging lasted for over an hour, I also cried and screamed for over an hour until they left, the neighbors couldn't come to my aid because there was a guard out there. Until they left, the man leading the men said to me:

“Mrs. Flora, this is the last warning, if you remain so stubborn, we will take stronger measures, then your friends and colleagues will also be implicated.”

My house was in disrepair, everything was like a mess and it was like a dump. I sobbed and trembled at every heavy step to pick up what was intact, but unfortunately, there was no such thing as intact, even though a photograph was burned by them.

“Damn it! Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch! Damn it!”

“Why is everything going like this, why?” - I sobbed and said.

The words of the man who kept repeating in my head made me even more helpless, they did not beat me but they were trying to break my will, if the will died, then... everything was over.

I wiped my tears and tried to calm down, slowly going up to the second floor, I looked at the inside of my daughter's room and saw that she was still sleeping as if nothing had happened. I knew this day was coming too, so I gave Min some sleeping pills and turn on the music in the room before. The gentle gazelle makes the listener feel relieved and relaxed, I don't know how many times this piece has been repeated but I'm sure it has been repeated more than ten times.

I took advantage of Min's still awake, trying to fix my mood, and went downstairs to start cleaning. Because everything was destroyed, I couldn't save anything else but throw it all away, I muttered to myself:

"Everything will be fine, as long as you and Min are together, it will still be the happiest day."

“Enzo… you remember all the bad things you did to me, I will never forgive you… Enzo the son of a bitch, bad.” - I grumbled in a voice, the love in me left over for Enzo having been killed by himself.

…

I can't let this go on any longer, the more it goes on, the more exhausted and powerless I will be, my perseverance has its limits but I'm sure I can persevere to the end. Enzo despised me so much, he probably thought I was so ordinary that I didn't dare do anything.

“Enzo, you're wrong to have despised me.” - I smiled with a smile, a bitter smile, the moment his subordinates came to smash my house, my cowardice was also killed by this ex-husband.

The next morning, probably because Min hadn't been to school for so long, Nana came to my house to ask about her situation and why she wasn't at school.

I changed my clothes and went down to open the door for Nana and invite her into the house. She didn't go round and straight to the main problem that always puzzled me a little, but when Nana saw my living room and kitchen almost slip away she was surprised to ask:

“What's going on? Are you moving house soon?”

I stopped talking, my friends didn't have much so for almost two months I could only endure the bad things alone that I couldn't share with anyone. Nana's question made me feel comforted, and I decided to say something terrible was going on with my life and Min's.

“My ex-husband wants to take Min away, I don't want that because Min is the meaning of my life, if she leaves I can't live either. I worry that they will come to take her away while I am not around, I don't dare go to work for the last two months.”

“They came here yesterday and smashed my house into a waste dump that made me powerless to the extreme, they're trying to force me at the end of the road for me to surrender myself. Since I didn't want Min to see the bad scene, I threw everything they ravaged out of the house.”

I continue to express my warmth and helplessness to Nana, but I am not saying my ex-husband is the CEO of the DIZ Group. Enzo wanted me to take the initiative to hand Min over to him, he was perfectly capable of coming and taking her away at any time whether I agreed or not, but the cunning guy like him didn't do it. I guess he wants me to be subjugated to him.
