It almost blew his mind away. Axel never expected to see him this very morning after the incident he did last night. He saw how the man spoke something to the manager of the restaurant, and how the latter conceded with a smile.
Axel thought he must be a regular guest to this place.
"I see you managed to put a new bandage on your own."
Reda's eyes from his injured hand trailed to his arm before resting on his face. While he is busy looking at the two new comer inside the restaurant. When he fail to reply, Reda glanced at the place where he keep his eyes fastened.
"Oh! That's uncle Alexander and Mr. Romolo."
She gasped but managed to calmed herself and even waved her hand to get her uncle's attention. It might be too late to hide what she's actually doing in his restaurant and why would she? When there is nothing wrong with having breakfast in his restaurant. Except that she is not alone, and the man with her is a foreigne
"Have a seat Reda Faith."Her uncle's voice filled the silent air inside the room. He was seated comfortably on a swivel chair behind a desk, his eyes encouraging her to moved forward and sit on the empty chair in front of his desk. Alexander rarely calls her by her full name, and by that she knew he wants a serious talk."Sure uncle, what is it that you want us to talk about?"Her uncle cleared his throat and removed his back from the chair. He leaned forward and looked her in the eyes."How long have you known the man Reda? What do you work for him?""Oh, i only knew him a couple of days ago and i work as his tour guide. Dad knows about the job uncle. I needed some extra cash for my class travels so I accepted it."Alexander furrowed his brows. "Did you happen to sign a contract with him?""Yes. Just a one month contract to work as his tour guide.""A month huh, i gues
Their next destination was at the dock, Axel has always wanted to buy a boat but a new one which is both for pleasure and business. He has one back in Italy but it was just left for him by Giovann and he couldn't bring it here, so why not buy a different one for this place particularly. Then he could sail to the nearby countries, like Singapore, Japan and Malaysia."Wow, are we going to rent a yacht? You know we could rent it for a day and sail in the ocean until the evening."Reda was enthusiastic upon their arrival at the docks. There were a number of yacht in front of them, some are big and luxurious while there are smaller ones that is for sale. "I'm glad you like yachts Reda. Tell you what, we can buy one... instead of renting."He casually said it which earned a loud gasp in Reda's mouth. She was totally speechless, just how rich is this man could be that he would buy a yacht to be used for just a month? Or perhaps
"So it's settled Axel, the yacht will be ready to sail tomorrow and it is yours! Congratulations." She smiled while removing the seat belt strap in her body. It was nine in the evening. They had wonderful dinner outside and all expenses was paid by her handsome employer. Although she felt a little bit exhausted but she's happy."Yes Red, Thank you for your help today. To be honest it's been a while since I have enjoyed a woman's company, and it's all thanks to you."His voice turned huskier as he leaned closer against her. Trapping her in between the car's soft leather seat and his body, Reda felt her hand trembled in between her lap, suddenly she was well aware of him.She couldn't look at his face straight, afraid of her growing feelings to get discovered. Her shoulders stiffened as she focused her eyes in front of the car. They were alone. Intimately alone."Don't mention it,
(Reda 1st POV)"Dad, I'm sorry. I decided to stay in with my employer just like how the contract which I signed says."I wasn't sure where I get the courage to tell my dad exactly what I have decided and let him know that I am making the decision on my own. Perhaps it's because of this man in front of me. Axel. He was just standing near me with his arms folded across his chest, leaning his side on the wall beside the door of my bedroom and listening to the conversation I have on the phone."Reda!?, Come back home now! I want you back here, without questions. It has been a long time since my Dad shouted and used this tone for me.I flinched when I heard him slam the phone in the cradle, which I'm sure that it made the apparatus broke. As usual, few words and he expected me to understand and follow, like an obedient daughter that I am. I sighed heavily."Something wrong?"
(Axel 1st POV)I have never felt so strong and powerful in my entire life, that it feels like the whole world is under my feet. My crew and I are planning to sail all the way to Bangkok, and from there we will meet up a few important members of the group. Reda, on the other hand is an addition to my plan. For the matter that, having her with me is like a bonus I am more than lucky to hold. I have decided not to let her go, from this day forward, she stays with me no matter what. For I have a strong feeling that if I allow her to leave, then I might not see her again. But that is not possible, because with my money and power, both legal and underground, she cannot hide from me if ever she decides to run away.The conflict between me and my father is suddenly not that much of a bother for me anymore, if he is happy without knowing me, then let him be. My thoughts and feelings have change, but not my priorities, I am still the head of our mafia family.
(Reda 1st POV)I have never experience a more romantic breakfast than these set up, above the waves of the ocean in the comfort of a luxury yacht with the food served on top of a table good for two. The table which is covered in a fine spotless white cloth, with a small antique vase sitting on top and three stem of red roses. The table is full with delicious Italian cuisine.I wonder about how nice his life is, to have a personal chef and to be able to dine aboard a luxurious yacht, overlooking the vast beauty of the blue ocean. To be a part of his journey is such a previlidge opportunity for an ordinary girl like me.Axel was nothing but a gentleman today, that he even offered me to contact the hospital where my Nana is confined. I really wanted to know how she is, but I wasn't feeling like talking to my Dad. I know at this very moment he must be very mad at me, like never been before in our en
(Axel's POV) Mature content...She's so soft and pliant, I couldn't wait to have all of her and make her mine. The taste of her skin against my tongue feels like the sweetest thing I have ever tasted. I know it's too late to stop when her hands started feeling my muscles and hard chest. I drove my tongue lower on her stomach and let her hands hold my hair. She was letting those sexy moans that drives me insane making me feel like my world is on fire.I caught the edge of her bikini in between my teeth and pulled it down her legs slowly, making her enjoy the little thrill.The waves of the ocean that slowly rocked the luxury yacht have nothing to do with the heightened beating of our hearts. We were plunging in the depths of our passions, succumbing in the need to fulfill our heart’s yearning.Our warm skin are beginning to perspire in the heat of our emotions as excitement filled our flesh. I slowly release
(Axel's POV)"Are you alright?"I brought my hand to caress her soft shoulders while she lay her head over my arm, I'm loving the velvet like texture of her skin. She looked so perfect to me."Yes, I am... It was amazing Axel, a little bit uncomfortable at first but the pain is nothing compared to the feelings afterwards.”I chuckled and turned my head to her side, giving her cheek a gentle kissed."Where did the shy and timid Red that I used to know?”I teased and gently moved my hand down her flat stomach. That earned a huge intake of breath from her."I am just telling the truth, I guess I don't feel shy anymore after what happened."My chuckle turned into a loud laugh that echoed across the room. The first kind of laughter I made in many years."I am happy that you like it sweetheart, I like you so much that it won't really matter if you are shy or not. You are a smart an
* Axel *We were inside the limousine going back to the house when Juliana broke down and cried. There are only both of us at the back since I let Donte sit with the driver in the front."I'm sorry about your brother Juliana."I ran my hand on her back and took the box of tissues on top of a small attached table. She was gently sobbing. "He was rude but he didn't deserve to be beaten up like that in front of everyone, he was still my brother.""I know, but your father has a violent way of disciplining him."She stopped crying before we reached the hotel and I was glad that she did or I will have a lot of explaining to do to her men when they see us. It is still our first wedding night even when it is just for a show, none of her men knows about our secret agreement. The hotel we were about to spend the honeymoon is located in the center of Singapore.The whole building stood the proudest and we booked the most expensive room but I don't mind spending. I didn't let her family pay for t
* Axel *It was an exclusive gathering with only the members of the Dragon gang of higher ranks and the members of my family were invited. The gathering was held three days after I had given my positive response to marrying the daughter of Mister Goh. The differences between our organizations were deleted and we agreed to bury whatever hatred we felt for each other. We agreed to settle things peacefully now that I have become a business partner of the gang. It was not something that I had wished for nor did I need to do it but considering the safety of my people I did it.Juliana and I had an agreement, I took her word for it or their word since it was hers and Bernard's the lover that she wished to be with."I hope it's alright but I don't think Bernard would appreciate it if we have the official kiss."Her whisper is what brought me back to the moment when I did not pay much attention to what the judge was saying. I turned towards her and looked deep into her eyes, the idea of kissi
* Axel *The deal was on, but instead of rejoicing and feeling the win, I felt a lot of load weighing over my shoulder. This is one of those days that I know it would not turn out great for everyone yet I choose to go with the flow and gamble. It's lives that I am putting on the line, but I swear on my life that I would protect what is mine and protect the lives of the people who work for me. The announcement will be made soon. When the old man sends me a request for my answer it would be a yes."Boss Axel, we must extend our stay if you will hold a wedding."I look at Donte whose eyes are fixated on me. There will be a lot to prepare if the celebration is big, but I wanted to keep it simple because it won't last."This is not a normal wedding Donte, this is a deal with a business partner. Divorce will soon progress after three to six months so there is no need for trivial matters. Send home the rest of our people it would be easier for us. Let them know I will get them back here only
* Axel * She picked the restaurant not far from my hotel when I mentioned to her over the phone where I was staying. Julliana, that is what she wanted me to call her. The woman whom I should marry if I wish to land a business casino here in Singapore peacefully. Her father is the head of the dragon gang, so my mind is on a chaotic page right now. Before heading out, I opened my phone and typed a short message to the woman that I was hoping to see before I finalized my decision.But I stared at the blank screen wondering what I would tell her."Are you ready to leave Boss?"A question from Donte on the driver's seat put me back to the present. "Yes, let's go."He looked at me trying to see if I was alright and it annoyed me more than anything. "Drive Donte, I don't want her to arrive at the venue first."After I said that he nodded and started the car, there were only the two of us in a rented vehicle so I decided to take on his suggestion. We have to change cars, from the day we arri
* Axel *The night ended with only the old man smiling and the rest of the men on my team waiting for the decision that I had to come up with after three days. Life in Singapore is fancy just like how I live in Italy, the country has so much to offer and I wanted to build my business here. In my thoughts I have to talk to the woman who could help me with my business, what she needs in return if she agrees to marry me just for a show, to please her old man.I am still in doubt, I can't marry someone I don't love. Thinking about it is making me puke, however I need to help my men who are already relying on me. The men that I recruited because of my plan for business expansion here in Singapore. The purpose of my life is to build this empire that my father left and the old man is a big hindrance for me. But perhaps I can make it happen through his daughter who offered me a date this afternoon."Good morning Boss!"Donte wakes up first as I walk towards the fancy kitchen of the new hotel.
* Axel *"I have to apologize Mister Goh, but I don't think I could accept this proposal. I don't mix business with my relationship and I already have a woman in my life. This idea is absurd."I shook my head and found my eyes resting on the woman beside me whose face was smiling and lips beginning to pout at the rejection that she heard coming from me."Oh, you don't have to sound so defensive Mister Brussel."Her voice is sweet and pleading, she is younger than Reda but I could tell her boldness from how she carries herself. I bet she is deadly as well as her charms are, she learned everything from his father and the resemblance she has with her brother is slowly resurfacing.Mister Goh chuckled. "Don't give me your decision now Axel, there is only one reason that you could stay here unharmed and one reason for you to get doomed and that is me. I am giving you three days to decide, whether you marry my daughter or you get out of this country for good."My expression dimmed and I kne
* Axel *"She's harmless Axel, her name is Julie and this beside me is Anne."I smirked and the lady beside me giggled despite the gap between us I could smell the scent of her perfume. It's not something that anyone could just ignore, it invades my nostrils but nothing could ever take my mind off from the woman that I have already declared to pursue. The elevator opened and then the men who work for Mister Jo together with my men came in."It's alright Mister Goh, I am fine with lady friends for tonight. I am a man after all."My comment made the lady laugh and adore me with her smile and look but I have no plan of taking her with me if that is what she was expecting."Good, great that the boys are here."He managed to let them sit in the bar which is not far from us. Donte passed by my chair taking a look at the woman beside me. "Are you alright Boss?""Never been fine Donte, go drink with the boys. Enjoy this night it is all thanks to Mister Go over here, I think that it wouldn't
* Axel *It was not what I had expected, for the old man to come down first than the rest of his army. He walks slowly dressed up in a fancy white suit with a formal white hat on top of his head. I could tell that he has no hair underneath the expensive fabric of the hat, but his build is still strong with his legs walking evenly unlike the rest of the old men that I have seen who have reached the age of over sixty or nearly seventy years old. I opened the door beside which alerted all of my men inside."Boss Axel!"Donte who was already going down first tried to stop me, but I didn't pause for a single second and directly landed my feet on the ground to meet the old man. "Stay where you are Donte, or follow behind me but don't embarrass me by meeting him first."Donte cleared his throat to answer me that and also to stay calm. The enemy is just sitting there behind the old man who's closer to me now. "Hi there! Mister Axel Brussel in the flesh, I am glad to meet you."His cheerful vo
* Axel *"She is safe Boss."The relief surged when I heard Rafael reporting the situation with Reda. I asked him to escort her into the airport for her flight at five pm and Rafael was able to call after twenty minutes."Did she get inside the airport Rafael?""Yes Boss, I watched her pass through the security and enter the staff entrance. She is with her colleagues."I exhaled slowly. "Good job! come back now. And Rafel.""Yes Boss Axel, I am with the driver. On my way back to you at the hotel."I paused for a couple of seconds. "Thank you, Rafael.""You're welcome, Boss Axel. Anytime sir."I click the end button and look at both Donte and Rocus with all the other men inside the room. Everyone is trying to hide the most deadly weapon they have on their clothing. With me, I only have a small knife hidden in my boots and one in my belt. We can't bring anything that's going to blow since the hotel is still a strict public place with security and cameras everywhere.For more than one ho
