(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 *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
