Chapter 96 Trouble

I didn't reply and just snatched the phone from him and turned away. Something is definitely wrong.

" Hello..hello.. sorry for disturbing you by this time miss but i didn't have anyone else to call.” His frantic voice came from the other end immediately the call connected.

" What's going on Sipho.?” I demanded, sitting upright.

" My sister went out to get supplement and was ambushed by that lunatic. He beat her and till she fell into premature labour. By the time I found her, she has lost too much blood and was aklmost dead. We're at the hospital now but they're asking for a huge deposit first before taking her to the ICU” he cried.

" What.? Who does that to a dying patient.?” I screamed in anger, scrambling to put on my clothes. " What hospital are you at.?”

" Benvue hospital. It's about thirty minutes drive from your hotel” he replied.

" That'll take too much time. I think there's a bank across my hotel. Let me wire the money to you first. How much are they asking.?”

" R30,000 I've only been able to come up with ten thousand” he sniffled.

" Don't worry just text the details to me, I'm on my way” i said and hung up.

" What's this all about.?” Reno asked standing to his feet, his brows furrowed in confusion.

“There's an emergency" i simply replied irritated at the thought i just had sex with someone whose baby mama is literally waiting for him to return.

“I'm coming with you" he offered or rather– commanded.

I didn't reply and just hurried out, carelessly crossing the road ignoring yells and curses from motorists.

After wiring some money to him, i hailed a taxi and tried to hop in but Reno grabbed my wrist.

“I can't go into a taxi or risk being photographed." He said.

“At this critical moment all you care about is still your fucking reputation.!" I yelled and stubbornly tried entering the taxi but he just pulled me out and led me to a Bugatti Veyron parked by the road.

“Stop behaving stubborn Emma" he reprimanded and stepped hard on the gas pedal, roaring away. In less than ten minutes, we got to the hospital.

Sipho was sitting in the waiting area, face in palm.
I ran up to him and sat by his side. He slowly looked up at me, his eyes red and wet with tears.

“I'm going to make sure that bastard pay for everything he has done to her" he swore still sobbing.

I hugged him lightly. “She's going to be fine i promise. Don't do anything rash so you don't get hurt"

Reno just stood few meters away watching us expressionlessly.

“Who's the guy..?" He suddenly asked and Sipho looked up startled just noticing him for the first time.

His eyes widened in recognition and he jumped up happily.

“Am i dreaming.? Young master Reno of the shayan companies worldwide.!?" He screamed excitedly.

“I'll advise you to keep your tone down young man before the paparazzi swarms down on us. I just asked a question" Reno replied with an intimidating aura.

Sipho mellowed but the excitement was still written all over him. “His name is Arju and he's forty five years old. There's a long scar on his cheek and right hand and he walks with a slight limp" he explained.

Reno nodded lightly and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number and just ordered them to hunt down a man named Arjun who has a scar and limps.

It wasn't up to five minutes when he put down the phone that it rang again.

“We have him sir"

The person on the other end reported.

“Hum" he simply replied and hung up. “Let's go" he said– or ordered.

“But his sister– " i cut in, glancing anxiously at the door of the ICU.

“She won't be out anytime soon miss. The only thing i want to do right now is punch that useless punk on his nose" Sipho aggrieved.

“I'll send my men to stand guard" he assured me and led us to the Bugatti.

We drove to the quite and influential part of the city and my eyes shone in amazement. Such beautiful places existed in Africa.?

Clean well mowed lawns, expensive artificial and natural flowers, huge stone villa that towered up to the sky, human like stone carving and varieties of fruit trees from grape Vines to mangoes and apples.

" Wow” Sipho gasped as the car pulled up beside another Audi in the garage.

Reno stepped out first and walked briskly into one of the stone villas. Five men in black suits at the door bowed deeply immediately they saw him.

When we entered, my mouth almost dropped to the floor. The internal decor was ancient styled. Sweet scenting candles hung in candle ranks and placed by the walls were the only source of light.

Blooming vines with beautiful red flowers and green leaves curled up the pillars. The floor was tiled but not with modern tiles.

The whole villa wasn't painted, just plastered with cement and smoothened. Very cool to touch.

The ceiling was very high beyond reach with a chandelier that looked like it was for decorating.

On the far end, there was a long dining table like what a family will use for Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was screaming ancient Greece, but we're clearly in cape town.

“Scared of the dark.?" Reno taunted me as i stood still, taking in the beautiful view.

He didn't wait for my reply and just flipped a switch. The chandelier came on, instantly bathing the entire villa with a golden light.

“This place is magnificent master Reno" Sipho complimented.

“Thanks" he simply replied, heading to the other end where there was a bar and filling three glass with a foreign wine I've never seen before.

When Sipho saw the name of the wine, the nearly had a heart attack.

“That.. that.. wine costs 232k dollars for one. That amount is enough to settle my family for life.!" He cried, staring at the wine like it was a ghost.

Reno scoffed and handed one glass to me. “Then you're free to take one if you want" he offered.

Sipho fell to his knees in excitement and gratitude. “Thank you sir. Thank you so much.!" He cried, kowtowing over and over.

“Stop that Sipho.! Just because of a common wine.?" I scolded, helping him from the floor as he just stared at me dumbfounded.

“Miss– you called it a common wine.?" He asked in disbelief, his voice barely above a whisper.

“Yea. It costs 232k dollars and so what.? Is it more precious than life.?" I casually replied, sipping mine.

But he couldn't bring himself to still drink the wine, staring at it like a piece of art.

“Master, we've been able to put the captive under control" a young guard reported with a bow.

“Let's go see the bastard" Reno urged his face darkening.
