Chapter 6: OilHaven

Now I sit alone on a bench by the roadside and watch the tourists passing by.

Rafe told me he had other things to do and asked me to wait.

"How much longer do I have to wait here?" I asked and in his typical fashion he looked at me and replied "Not long".

I shouldn't have trusted him so much because it's been an hour and he hasn't come back yet.

He had just had a deep conversation with me and shown me another side of himself, and now he left me here alone.

"Hey, alone?" I heard a voice and turned my head. It was a man, blond hair and wearing black sunglasses as if he was on the beach.

"No" I answered straightforwardly, yes I wasn't lying because I wasn't alone now. I came with Rafe even though Rafe is currently away somewhere.

"Miss, no need to be so shy" the man grabbed my hand and I quickly pulled it away. Damn, how dare he touch me.

Since fines are high, Singaporeans should be afraid of committing crimes. However, the damn man spat softly in disgust in front of me.

I know he is a tourist, a shameless tourist, and he probably doesn't know that if he continues like this, he will get into trouble.

"Do you understand the role of women in this world?"he asked impulsively. It reminded me of a drama where a woman was killed by a man because she rejected his love.

It's crazy, but I think I've met people like that on tv show.

"What are you implying?"

"Women are there for men's pleasure. And you, my dear, seem perfectly designed to please me."

"Ugh, this is disgusting." I cursed to myself. My body suddenly stiffened when I saw the eyes of the man who was looking at me so lustfully. 

What's the problem? I was dressed normally and wasn't flirting with him. Why is he suddenly acting this way?

"So, beautiful, why don't you join me? I'll book you a room at the luxury Hotel. Ever experienced luxury like that?" he asked haughtily.

What this idiot didn't know was that my husband, er, contract husband, had just reserved the entire building of a luxury hotel for us to have dinner.

If he knew how much it cost, he might rummage through Raph's gold pile like a flea.

"I was hoping to make Rafe proud... too bad he's not here to see this." I looked on with concern.

Tourists acted as if they didn't see anything. Why is everyone afraid of this man?

I tried to look around to find out who this person was. I couldn't find any identifying information other than the bracelet. Yes, a gold bracelet with this famous symbol.

"Hold on, who are you exactly?" I asked, trying to pry for information.

The man raised his arms as if he understood what I was saying.

"The name's Fagri, I run an oil company back in the Middle East." he said haughtily.

 "It's called OilHaven. You might have heard of it."

"Why do I always end up crossing paths with wealthy men like this?" I said to myself. The look on my face probably told you how displeased I was with the man's introduction.

"So, how about it? Will you be with me, bear my child, and live happily alongside my other wives?" the blonde man said with a lustful look.

"I'm already married, thank you very much."

"A husband? That's a minor detail. I could even buy him off if necessary." he said haughtily.

I was just talking to myself. Yes, I wasn't scared anymore, especially after I saw the man appear behind the blond man.

"What did you say?"

Rafe's tone made me cringe. The weather was cold and oppressive. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I saw a bright light flashing in the man's eyes, almost like lightning.

"Ah, so he's your husband?"

 "Brother, your wife caught my eye. Name your price, and I'll pay it." he said sassily.

"And who might your father be, if I may ask?" asked Rafe still with that cold stare.

 "Why the sudden interest in my father? You know who I am. Fagri Soi, owner of OilHaven." he said pointing at Rafe's chest.

The look on Rafe's face told me that the blonde who insulted him wasn't going to end well.

 "Such arrogance and perversion. I just hope you're still around to see the sunrise tomorrow." I honestly prayed sincerely for the blonde man's safety.
