(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.βI 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?βI 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
* Axel *It was only half an hour after Reda and his Dad left when a vehicle halted in front of the VIP cottage. Two vehicles that my men immediately got alerted and message me of it. I have a foolish thought about who these visitors are and it is making me uneasy."Who is it?"I calmly stand up from the couch and ask Sigmond, who just came in on the door. Donte is already outside as soon as the vehicles came into view from the glass window of the cottage, he signaled me that he would check it. I have a bad feeling that whoever came must be related to Reda."Boss Axel the resort owner came to talk to you."I stiffened my feet on the floor beside the couch. However, when Sigmond stood still waiting for my answer I thought he cannot see through my emotions the feelings that I have inside. But he started showing signs of weariness that made me move. Aside from Donte, none of the men who worked for me knows the real reason why I decided to come back here to the Phillippines."Well, send h
* Axel *It brings me so much joy to see that Reda is here in Singapore, and her flight schedule was moved earlier than what has been expected. Her presence brought me a calm oasis after the stormy weather. I almost forgot that I had an appointment with Julliana that is why I came down to the restaurant early. Expecting that she was with Bernard, but she was alone. I didn't want to put Reda in a difficult situation so as much as I wanted to stay beside her, it was better if she exited the restaurant first. After I send her in the elevator I walk back to where Julliana is waiting. She was still sipping her cup of coffee, she must have ordered another one after I left."I like the coffee here, or maybe I just felt bored waiting for you."My lips curved in a dry smile. "My apologies, Julliana it was a pleasant surprise to see Reda most suddenly. I thought you were coming with Bernard?"At the corner of my eyes, I saw Donte moving forward towards our table when he saw that there was anot
* Reda Faith *I enjoyed watching him eat, the way his red lip moves, and his mouth slightly open to take in his food. But I tend to look away when he notices and then gazes at me because it would be too embarrassing to be caught staring. He is the man who can make all women swoon inside the restaurant, it doesn't matter if some of them have a partner on their table. I couldn't help but notice how they gave him their admiring gaze."By the way, I am waiting for a business partner to arrive. She is a bit late so it gave me enough excuse to start eating."His voice sounded normal but he glanced at the entrance with a frown before wiping his mouth with a clean white table napkin."Oh, it's alright. I have no other plans for today, and I may just go back to my room after here. You can speak with your business partner then."His expression changes as he looks at me and the way his eyes glimmer makes my stomach churns. "I will come to see you afterward, it's just a short meeting regarding m
* Reda Faith*We had another successful flight, from Australia to Singapore. Almost all the colleagues I worked with this time were foreigners since it was not supposed to be my time to fly. I changed my schedule with one of my colleagues to go back to the City where I could meet him. But he was not aware yet that I was back in Singapore.I checked my phone for his messages but was a bit disappointed to find none. His last message for me was the day before yesterday morning, which was sent around five am and I was only able to answer two hours later when I woke up. After that, there were no messages or any signs of being online on his number. I am still debating with myself if I should call him or not."Good morning Miss, care for a cup of coffee?"The question coming from the waitress who holds a pot of coffee in her hands put me back in reality."Oh, yes please."I let her pour the aromatic coffee into my cup and then glance around the cozy restaurant of the hotel. This is a complim
* Axel *I don't know why but something triggered my fear when I saw the expression on Rafael's face, but he turned towards Rocus who looked at me calmly. Almost like he voids himself from any emotion. "What is it, Rafael?"The second time I asked him. Rocus cleared his throat while Donte groaned frustratingly, waiting for an explanation from either of them."The bullet that killed the old man comes from my rifle."At first, I didn't see anything wrong with what he just told me but as Donte started to let out a series of explicit words. It all dawns upon me."Shit! Rocus, that's not the order we had in the plan. Our role was only to support the Dragon gang why did you have to shoot the old man?"Gritting my teeth I so much wanted to break his neck for being stupid but I know that both of them have worked so hard while I was hiding away with Donte. "I know Boss, it wasn't supposed to go on like that. I was the second option when Miss Goh and Bernard attacked the old man but they got c
* Axel *Donte was driving our bulletproof car when we reached the busy streets of Singapore. Rafael and Rocus along with the others went ahead of us, while I was busy checking my phone. It took a few minutes before I realized that we hadn't taken the same road as the others."Donte, where are we going?"He drives in silence, I look at the streets which start to get cleared from the traffic."I am not putting you in danger Boss, Rafael and Rocus are already out there. And they have understood the assignment."I close my eyes for a few seconds and shake the irritation that is starting to surface. Donte is only thinking about what's good for me but this is not a part of my plan. There could be implications if I am not seen with my men supporting Julliana."This is not what I was expecting from you, Donte!?"I realized my voice, but I didn't have a plan to fight him. Somehow deep inside I felt the surge of relief. The road we are taking is leading to the harbor. "I am not fleeing Donte!
*Axel*Time moves fast, when it is about six pm Donte was the first one to take my attention off from the laptop that I was working on. "Boss, have you informed Miss Goh about your decision?"He looked more anxious than I was but fully ready as I saw his clothes from top to bottom the weapons hiding inside his jacket and knives on his waist. Donte leaves no space without something to depend himself on. "No, I am waiting for her call. Since I am not the one needing help at this point. Let them call me, if they don't then they don't need my hand or something has come up."Donte looked at me and exhaled slowly, agreeing to my words. I don't want to make this look like we are the ones offering our hands to help Julliana and Bernard. This is their fight, but the situation requires me to lend a hand."It won't be long now and I am sure that she will call me for the follow-up."After I said that, my mobile phone rang and it was her name on the screen. "Oh, that's her Boss!"Donte sat down an
* Axel *Her eyes turned from being hurt and sad into something darker as her lips tightly shut in a thin line. The side of her which I had no idea that she was hiding behind the silent type. "Think about it until midnight Axel, I will have my people ready today and we will execute the plan on the brink of dawn."I raise an eyebrow. "You know I did not sign up for this Julliana, this is not what we have talked about. Do not force me into something that would put myself and my men in danger otherwise, you will have an enemy worse than your father."My words are real, there is no threat just the fact that I would not participate in their plans. It's enough that I kept my mouth shut until this moment and went through with the wedding. Bernard exhaled as Julliana sat in silence."I think we made a mistake in coming here early Julliana, let's go."She looked at him and then back at me, Donte was watching them both ready to speak more if they were going to insist. "Fine you stay here and ke
* Axel *The morning came early for me as I opened my eyes and immediately fixed myself to start the plan on some of my online records and business accounts. Juliana and her man will not be up early, I just know that both of them have taken advantage of the situation to celebrate their love. Despite what happened to he brother, she is still able to make out with her man, I couldn't blame her for that. They have been hiding their relationship in the eyes of many and only got their full chance to be themselves for not.A honeymoon for the newlyweds, but I am the groom who's not going to be with the bride. For there is only one woman in my mind at this moment and even from before, she is the one that I should be marrying. A few knocks on my door alerted me. "Good morning Boss! It's me."Donte's voice made me relax and walk towards the door without pressure. "Morning Donte, glad to see you early."I looked behind him and saw Rafael and Rocus, both had deep frowns on their faces but bowed
* 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
