The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 546

Losing a leg was equal to death. Robbie was just 28, still young. Without a leg, what kind of life would he have?

Darian pulled a contract out of a brown paper bag, gave it a shake, and laid it in front of Robbie to sign.

Robbie wouldn’t sign, so one of the henchmen snapped his fingers like twigs. The pain turned Robbie’s face ghostly white and his eyes rolled back. In the end, the man pressed Robbie’s hand down to scribble a signature on the dotted line. It was pretty much an IOU, with the clause that he’d lose a leg to clear his debt.

Darian didn’t do bad business. If a guy couldn’t pay up, he’d make it look like an accident for the insurance boys. He would cripple a leg of him, and the payout would go straight into Darian’s pocket.
