Chapter Twenty-Four

Plans And Counterplans

 Mr. Bolt PoV

  

  I waited until Sebastian left then picked up my phone and called Max Kidman.

  “Max, we have a problem. Meet me at the club now. Also, come along with your daughter, Cassandra. I’d like to make a request of her and also ask her some questions concerning her last meeting with my son.”

  The situation seemed to be getting out of hand and if I don't curb it now then I have a lot to lose. In fact, I will go down with the Kidmans because I know that Max will surely take his pound of flesh.

  Cassandra's wedding to Sebastian was all that Max wanted to keep him quiet because if he had Sebastian as a son-in-law then there was no way he would go down and I won't have to go down with him.

  I don't want to go down so I have to do everything humanly possible to ensure that Sebastian married the Kidman girl.

  If I look at it logically then I would agree that Sebastian was going after the right Kidman daughter.

  Maria was smart, bright and doing well with her company but Cassandra was an annoying little brat who was still having sex with that social climber, Richard.

  yes I knew all the details about them but I have to save myself from many years in prison so Sebastian must marry the younger Kidman.

  “Max, you are here. Good!” I greeted them then clipped off the butt of my Cuban cigar before I started smoking.

  I handed another one to Max upon his request while wondering why the man was still puffing cigars when he just got discharged from the hospital.

  “What is going on?” He asked as soon as he settled down with his daughter who sat sipping a cocktail while wearing skimpy clothing that left nothing to my imagination.

  I raised my face upwards and puffed cigar smoke out of my mouth to prevent myself from sneering.

  Her attitude and appearance was so disrespectful, it was despicable but what could I do? It was either suck up to them or go to jail and I chose the former.

  “My son was here a few minutes ago and he wasn't happy about the engagement news on TV. In fact, he's threatening to pick up a fight. I fear the situation may become ugly if we are not careful.”

  “Listen here, Jerry. The Russian guys are mounting pressure. They are threatening to use forceful methods if we don't do something soon. We need to send some money to them, even if it's some down payment or they will chew us alive.”

  “I understand that but Sebastian is no pushover. He may make some decisions after much pressure but this time he is choosing to stick with your daughter, Maria.”

  I turned towards Cassandra and said. “Cassandra, honey, you want my son Sebastian to become your husband right?”

  I asked and she nodded her head then I continued. “There are so many luxury benefits to becoming Mrs. Bolt. You, my dear, will become a queen in the elite class.”

  The blue in her eyes became lighter with greed and I could see her already seeing the vision I painted in her head. She liked it a lot.

  “You like it, don't you?” I asked in a low encouraging voice and she nodded as if in a trance.

  Then I cleared my throat to gain her attention. “Good! I like it for you too but as you already know, you have an opponent. Someone who is trying to take away this dream from you and if you don't fight it then she will take it all away from you.”

  “Oh!” She exclaimed sharply and I could see how alarmed she was by the realization. “How can I fight it? What should I do?”

  “That's a very good question, Cassandra. I believe in you and I know that you can do it. I will also help you get the man who I believe is yours. We've tried manipulating the media to get my son's attention but it didn't work so we should use a language that men understand.”

  “Okay, what's the language?” She asked eagerly and I fought hard to prevent the disgust from settling on my face. How dumb is this girl?

  “Research has shown that some men can smell when a woman is sexually aroused even if the woman is not aware of it and when they are exposed to the natural scent of an aroused woman, they tend to find her more attractive and may feel interested in her sexually. That's a weapon you have right there, Cassandra. Why don't you use it?”

  “Well, this is disgusting.” Max commented then took a swig of his whisky that was poured for him by the waiter.

  He stood up and pointed to the pool. “I'll be at the chaise lounge if anyone needs me, and when you are done with this discussion, you can also holla and I will come back. I can't listen to this.”

  Cassandra chuckled and called her father old school and I rolled my eyes mentally.

  It would take some serious work to make this dumb girl Mrs. Bolt and from the look of things, even if she succeeded in the next mission with Sebastian, I may still have to do some work in the background.

  “So, Cassandra, where were we?” I shifted closer to her.

  “You want me to use my weapon.” She repeated as if she was taking some lessons in the art and act of seduction.

  “Beautiful! You are a fast learner. You have to show my son what he's missing if he doesn't get together with you.”

  “But, but what if he doesn't want it? He barely allowed me to touch him the last time.”

  “That's no problem. I will help you. I will set up everything and all you have to do is show him what you've got. Ensure you have sex with him so that we can use a pregnancy entrapment for him.”

  “What if I don't get pregnant? Sebastian can be thorough. He has the media running to do his bid. He is that powerful.”

  “You leave all of that to me. Just do as I will instruct you ” I waved her off impatiently. She was starting to test my patience but I have to be calm to avoid issues with her father.

  I told her my plans and we went over it a couple of times and when I was certain that she had grasped it to an extent, I asked the waiter to call her father.

  “I don't need to know the details of whatever you two have planned this time, Jerry. I just need it to work.”

  “I am certain that we will have good news this time around, if Cassandra plays her card right.” I informed Max then turned to Cassandra. “Don't you worry about a thing, honey. I believe you will ace this mission this time. My son is yours already.”

  Max stood up and picked up his phone from the table so that he would leave them motioned for Cassandra to follow him. “That's great news. I wish you all the best, Cassandra.”
