You are going to get what is coming
The next day, Santiago decided to attend to the matter at hand, he went to their hideout, he didn't want the matter to be brought to his house. "Why did you bring her here?" Santiago asked staring at the girl who was blindfolded. She looked frightened.
"I think she has gone through something back there at the Casino boss," Cortez replied. Santiago hummed.
The moment she heard Cortez address the person who just spoke as boss, her heart skipped a beat. She was told that the moment she meets the boss, she'll be killed.
"Did you bring me here to get killed? I thought you said you were taking me away from that place. Why did you bring me here?" The girl sobbed, she tried to free her eyes but was stopped by Cortez, he held both of her hands in a strong grip.
"What do you mean by that? Who says you are going to get killed?" Cortez asked.
"The boss in the Casino said the day I meet the big boss is the day I'll die. He told me never to tell anyone anything going on between me and him or else he would take me to the big boss, Please don't kill me, I've gone through a lot already I don't want any more drama in my life." She dropped down on her knees and sobbed, her hands were still in Cortez's strong grip.
Santiago crushed down before her, "Listen to me young lady, no one is going to hurt you, You'll be fine in this place, all I need from you is to tell me everything that he has done to you and I'll set you free. You won't be going back to the casino, you'll start your life back afresh." He promised her.
Santiago stood, and the girl was taken to a dark room, she was made to sit in front of Santiago, Santiago covered his face with a mask and told them to remove the blindfold on her eyes. "For you not to be scared, I'll hide my face so you won't see me, This way you'll rest assured that no one will hurt you."
His words helped the girl relax, She looked around the dark room, but she couldn't see anything except the person in front of her who was wearing a mask. "Young girl, what has been happening to you back in Toledo?" Santiago asked.
"Six months after I started working in the Casino, my boss over there started making advances towards me but I rejected him because I didn't want anything to do with any man, he didn't give up, he continued pushing himself and trying to get me to agree to his proposal but stood my grounds."
"He promised to make me the assistant manager in the Casino but I still turned him down even though the offer was tempting, I know never to get involved with men who are dangerous, men who don't know how to keep their dicks inside their pants." She cleaned the tears that had rolled down her cheeks.
"Bring me a bottle of water," Santiago ordered, A bottle of water was brought, he gave it to the girl to drink, she gulped the entire bottle of water.
"Seeing that he couldn't get into my pants by offering me a position in the Casino, he decided to force himself on me. He raped me and told me never to reveal this to anyone. It happened that Alex the bartender overheard him threatening me, Alex gave me a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear that day."
"It continued like that, I became used to it, used to being assaulted by him, but the trauma he left in my mind was something hard to get used to. I couldn't leave my job because it's the only thing that pays me well in this bloody country, I had to endure everything in other to continue my job in the Casino." She concluded.
"Thank you for telling me all this, one of my men will take you to meet a therapist, and you'll be settled. Don't go to the police, I'll take care of that punk who has put you through hell." Santiago said.
"Thank you so much boss, Thank you for freeing me from him, thank you for taking me away from that monster." She held her hands before her face as if saying the lord's prayer, she sobbed while thanking him.
"It's nothing, I'm sorry you had to go through that while working for me and I'm liable for everything that happened to you. Like I said I'll settle you with a huge amount of money so you'll be able to start up a business." Santiago stood up and called Cortez.
"Take her to see a therapist, when she is done with her session and has been able to overcome the trauma that was inflicted on her, Help her start afresh," Santiago ordered, The woman was taken to the room she was assigned to. Cortez came back to give what he found out about the casino.
"Boss I interrogated the staff and they said almost the same thing, I have an audio recording of their confession. Cortez placed the recording on the table and played play.
"This Casino earns up to fourteen million dollars a day. but the amount of money we normally see in the cash book never corresponds to the amount that was earned. We used to wonder why not until the boss showed up with a car, We thought it was normal but the next week he came with another and the following week he came back with another."
"He has two houses and has been going on vacation with his numerous girlfriends and what is funny is he doesn't hide what he is doing it is like he doesn't fear the big boss like we do. He spends the boss's money as if it's his and the worst of it all is he treats us like trash. Boss makes us feel like we are nothing compared to him, he doesn't fail to humiliate us in front of the people who come to the casino."
The recording stopped, and Santiago's hands formed into a fist, he was pist. "You are going to get what is coming to you," Santiago muttered.
Santiago hates three kinds of people 'Thieves, liars and double-crossers.' the scumbag who has been stealing from him just signed himself a death warrant.
