(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 *In a few minutes, the yacht will finally reach the docks of Bangkok, Thailand a place where all kinds of people exist. But this is an area where the money came pouring like rain on our bank accounts even though we only trade on the docks using the imported weapons. Now I plan on building a huge casino that will give us access to the counties richest people who love to gamble their money."Get ready boys, Sigmond stay behind me and remember all their faces. I don't want you to overlook how they look like if you see them again hanging out in a distance within our territory you have to notify me."Sigmond nodded and look at the people standing on the docks waiting for our arrival. They were all armed, this leader don't trust us for a reason. But my men are all prepared for anything, we don't need weapons. Guns and knives are just tools and bonuses but our body is trained for war and I am confident that they will not prefer to be our enemy.As my men come down one by one led by S
* Axel *The first ray of sun is already hitting the window of our small room when I opened my eyes and hear the shower. My hand search for the space beside me and confirmed it was empty, she must have already been awaken a few minutes before me, something which rarely occurs in my day. To wake up with someone after a night of good sex, maybe with her it wasn't just casual sex, but something more.I get out of bed wearing just my boxers and look at the window, the familiar docks in the Philippines. I fix my long hair and tie it with a rubber band, waiting for her to get out of the shower. The noise of my men on the upper deck is heard from below."Good morning!"She walks out of the small bathroom wearing only the piece of the towel around her body with her hair still damp. I admire her pretty face void of any makeup."Good morning to you Reda."My eyes immediately travelled from her head to toe, the same as how she looks at me. I smiled and move closer towards her. "Get ready while I
* Reda Faith *As soon as I turned my phone on the messages coming from my father's number keep coming in. I didn't open the inbox as I already know what he would say, my Nana is alright Axel told me that she has recovered from surgery. "Thanks for the ride."I voiced out to the driver whom Axel instructed to bring me back to the VIP house cottage. He did not say a word after I close the door he immediately drives back on the main road. One security man is guarding the door, he opened it promptly after seeing me closer."Welcome back Miss Red."His rough Italian accent is making me smile. "Thank you."He bows his head as I get inside the quiet and empty house. Axel did not say anything for me to do except to get some rest for the remainder of the day. I took a step up the stairs and went inside the room but my phone rang and the screen shows the name of my father.I don't know what to tell him so I keep it ringing and decided not to answer it.The room is neat and my things are stil
* Axel *My eyes and as well as Mr. Hornido, Reda's father focused on her. We both wanted to know if she will deny it or tell the truth. She knows that if she will inform him of the truth, his father would despise her. However I am not afraid of him, I am going to take full responsibility for what happened but I can't stop whatever his initial reaction is. He's already igniting so much anger at the moment."Tell me Reda, have you sleep with this man or not? You know you can never lie to me. I've known you since birth!"His father looks like he is ready for war, the way he looks at both of us tells me that he is just getting permission from Reda to make the first move in killing me. I couldn't blame him, he cares about her and she's his only daughter."Reda, answer your Dad now or I will."My voice held no fear because I will tell him if she can't. I heard her gasp when I pushed him to give her an answer. She's been taking some time and it is adding to the anger of his father."Dad, I
* Reda Faith *Three days after that sweet romantic night, our relationship had just gotten stronger and the hours passed by like it was nothing. However, without the knowledge of my family, I contacted the airlines and tendered my resignation. Following the plan of my future husband, I am happy to be spending the rest of my life with him. Too happy to defy my father, still I didn't have enough courage to tell him about our relationship, and just like what Axel had planned after two weeks more we would go to Australia together."Ma'am, someone's outside the door. It's a woman. Shall I open the door?"From browsing on my laptop, I looked towards the bedroom door where Ana was talking. My brows furrowed as I stood up to follow her."How long was she standing there outside?""A few seconds ma'am, I supposed."I took a look at the peephole and saw, Miss Goh. "Go back to what you are doing Ana, I'll talk to her."She looked at me and then exhaled, thinking that I probably knew who was on t
* Reda Faith *I could not measure the amount of happiness that I felt because of his gift. It's a feeling as though I am being put into the clouds, just like they said that a diamond is a girl's best friend and maybe that is why feeling it around my neck made me feel important. Suddenly I felt that I was the most cherished person in his life, not because of the expensive diamonds but because he chose to give them to me. The dinner went well with the romantic music that a is playing in the air."How's your food sweetheart?"I meet his gaze before I answer. "It's great, this restaurant is not expensive for no reason. The chef must have done a great job serving us such delicious food."He chuckles and lowers his head to accommodate his spoon. Then I had a glimpse of the people behind him, it's impossible not to notice the woman from the other table. She's wearing a fancy gold dress embroidered with sparkling stones and when she moves her body sways showing delicate pearl white skin. She
* Reda Faith *Thirty minutes before he said he would come, I was already dressed up and turning around in the full-length body mirror inside the room. I have sent Ana home after confirming that we are dining out tonight. He is finally coming home early, unlike the previous days when he stayed late and came home tired. Maybe it was because of the confrontation we had this morning, but I was relieved to know that it was just an honest mistake from his business partner. She was here only for business purposes and they were not alone, Axel had Donte who never left his side.I'm wearing a light blue, it falls above the knee with a tight waistline and a top that hugs my breast showing off my bare shoulders and arms. It is quite comfortable with the combination of cotton and silk fabric perfect for the summer. I paired it with white sandals two and a half inches tall so that I could walk properly and a white shoulder bag from a designer brand.The noise coming from the front door made me fe
* Axel *I watched her stand up and turn around to leave my office without saying another word. Julliana aged for more than ten years after she took over the Dragon Gang and now even her relationship is getting chaotic. That's no surprise given that she is still young and she is a woman. Although, in the modern age gender is not a problem anymore but for some members of the Dragon gang that is not supposed to be the case.Donte came in as soon as the door closed after Julliana, he was wearing an amused expression on his face."What happened Boss? Seemed like the new Boss of the Dragon gang did not get whatever it is that she came here for?"I shook my head and got out of the couch to go behind my desk and then sat on my swivel chair. As Donte followed me and occupied the seat at the front of my desk, I opened my laptop."She has her doubts now that her relationship with Bernard is on the rocks. She came to ask me if I could pick sides between him and her."Donte groans. "That's not a
* Axel *Looking at her and realizing how much she had matured over the last time when her father was still alive made me realize that it could be just an accident that she forgot her lipstick there. I know women might act not themselves under too much pressure or stress, and Julliana is no ordinary woman. However, it made me irritable that she almost placed my relationship in a tight spot. Good thing that Reda listened to me, and I am going to convince here even more tonight after I come home and take her to a fancy and romantic restaurant."Did you know what's the situation in my building right now?"Her question made me smirk as I watched the distaste on her face."My hands are full Julliana, you know how I am speeding up the building and everything. If you are short of people, then you must hire recruits and let Bernard take care of that since you are already busy with all your family's businesses.""You don't understand Axel."I shook my head. "Out of all the people around you, I
* Axel *I watched the mix of emotions that registered on her face, since last night I could that something was bothering her. Then in the morning, I thought that it would be over, yet she is finally opening up about it now. My eyes scanned the object in front of us, and I had no clue what it was. How could that thing be causing her to get upset and ask me what is it?"What is this?"My hand immediately reached for it and then read the label, I then realized that it was a woman's thing. I checked it out and tried so hard why is this here?"That is not mine nor Ana's, she found it while cleaning the bathroom. Perhaps you can tell me briefly about it, I know that you are going to be late for work if we discuss it further."I furrowed my brow and held it in my hand, then finally I remembered who was the only female that had used my comfort room."Oh sweetheart, you don't have to be bothered by this. God, I have to apologize but the only woman who visited me last time and used my toilet w
* Reda Faith *When he sent the message that he might come home late because of some work in his office, I felt even more weak. Watching the lipstick on top of the side table in our bedroom I exhaled deeply and then went out of the room."Ana."She was sitting in the living room, as I told her that if has nothing more to do, she can watch TV and relax. "Don't bother making dinner, Mister Brussel will not come home to eat."She nods and then looks at me. "But what about you ma'am? Don't I need to make dinner for you?"I shook my head. "No, it's alright. I can just have a sandwich when I'm hungry. But I don't think you need to cook anything for me if you want to leave you can go home early."I look at the time on my wristwatch it's already a quarter to five in the afternoon and she can leave early if there is nothing else to do. "Oh, thank you, ma'am. Then I'll just go ahead, and I'll see you tomorrow.""Alright, thank you for today as well Ana. See you tomorrow!"I let out a smile on
* Reda Faith *After that night, Axel insisted that I move to the floor of the hotel. For us to be together, I filed my annual leave from the airlines. Without telling my father and grandpa about the real reason why I am still in Singapore. All they know is that my flights are now in Asia and I have to stay for a while in this Country. But after a month I am sure that they will have many questions, but before that Axel and I are already planning to go back to Australia together to explain everything to my Dad."Sweetheart, are you used to this place now every time I am away for work?"He gently asked while we were having breakfast one day. I could read the fondness in his eyes when he looked at me across the table, as he was about to finish eating breakfast before going to work."Yes, of course. No need to worry about me and you didn't even have to hire a personal maid to help with the order and cleaning on this place. I can manage." The stay-out maid comes at seven in the morning a
* Reda Faith *The view is romantic as we feel the soft breeze of the wind on top of the skyscraper, I wouldn't have thought that the restaurant is on top of one of the tallest buildings in Singapore. We started with some appetizers and when it was about time to eat, we could see the beautiful sunset from our table."You're so beautiful, sweetheart. The view is just a bonus, I would never get tired of looking at you like this."I chuckled and picked up the fork and knife, pretending like his words meant nothing but they all went inside my head and my heart felt like bursting."Come on start eating, I know that you are hungry too. Stop making any compliments before I melt down."His laughter echoes around unmindful of the few other customers that were in the restaurant. Some of them already took a glance at him but there was no sign of hate in their eyes, more like admiration, especially the women."Oh, I better start digging in before you mistook my words as a result of someone being
