“A piece of the cake will not even affect you, princess.”

“Tsk!”

Somewhat like a scene in a romantic series where the damsel, no, a not-so-damsel in distress is being harassed by two ugly men. But at this moment, it is a pair of good-looking men different from the usual troupe.

“Do not make me laugh. I told you, didn’t I? There is time for everything, so hold your horses and wait.”

“That is not what we agreed upon.”

One of the two grabs her tight. Threatening her with their gaze and the tone of their voices. Demanding the payment and pointing out that they are not simply playing around nor taking this entire business with her like child’s play.

“Let go of me. Do you know what you are doing?”

“Damn a hundred percent princess. Why don’t you pay up right now, or else—”

“Or else what?”

Xander jumps into the middle of the scene. Acting like a typical gentleman who is always ready to save a poor damsel in distress.

“You! You better not put your nose in our business if you want to be left

    “ACQUIRE it and fast. You know the drill. Do not fail me, Aaron.”“I won’t.”The call ended, and the atmosphere around Aaron a bit lessens with the burden of his job and who he is. All after just accepting the call and instruction of their Chairman. “Have you prepared the amount and bribed the necessary personnel that is needed? Ash?”“Everything is set and complete.”“Excellent.”Dark and ominous. Aaron’s intention that is given to him by the organization is showing. Taking advantage of the exemption that auction items are holding to smuggle and escape the noses of the authority. “The Chairman called. Hiro will be here at midnight to get the item. We better acquire it and fast without any suspicion.”“I already finished looking at the map of the entire hotel and beach resort. A blind spot at the very back is the best place to take it without anyone noticing.”“Just make sure that the most important thing is extracted carefully from the item. For we still need to show everyone tomor

    “I think that he is cute.”“Cute?” Erika’s disappointment. Worst when Selene is somewhat giggling at the description that she just gave her concerning the most hateful guy that she just encounters today and out from all the place and her image to be that middleman for the authorities. “Seriously Selene?”“Why? Based on what you just said, he is a Casanova in the making.”Selene giggles, a bit interested in the guy, and at the same time teasing Erika’s patience.“Casanova? If that guy is a Casanova in the making, then the hell with its definition and I will curse it down to hell.”“There you go, you and your curses.”A bit exaggerating, but Selene is having fun of seeing Erika looking at her temper and for the first time towards the opposite sex. Worst, but probably the best to see, it is the first time she is left speechless against a guy that for her entire life, she is the one doing such to them. “Why don’t you give him what he wanted?”“A date?”Almost jaw drop and protested lik

    “WHAT am I going to do?”Lindsey whispers, sighing deeply and randomly asking a question to the air while holding her phone a bit tight. Worried about Harry and the miss calls and voice mail that seem to be being ignored by her husband. The first time Harry did such a thing it made her worried. Recalling the day and their conversation. Harry’s reason for not coming with her and the possibility that is only scaring her, yet she knew that her husband will not do such a thing. “Wake up Lindsey! Do not think for those negativities, Harry will not do such a thing to you.”She slaps herself a bit hard, making her checks a bit redden while convincing her mind that everything is alright and might as well Harry be just preoccupied with work and the problem that he needed to attend to and fast. “You didn’t choose and marry him just to doubt him like this. In the first place, Harry only did good things for you, so you do not have the excuse to doubt him now.”She added, a bit calculating the

Running her finger to the back of his head while he is foundling her back and down. “Right now.”“Tsk!”She demanded. Earning a smirk from him and pushing her body to the closed door where she leads him. Crashing his lips to hers and where she let him explore everything and just a bit teasing him after with their tongues unto each other. Now panting and both in heat, with the room perfectly dimly lighted and the camera’s recording. “I want you right now.”She whispers once more to his ears, blushing in heat and feeling his breath on her neck as he goes down and plays a little with her breast. Making sure that they both got the same attention. The little play slowly took them both to the bed stripping their clothes and kissing deep and rough. One and more times leaving marks to see it all tomorrow. Chills and desire rush, whi

    “ALEXANDER?”Erika thought and deep about his familiar name, yet she just couldn’t point out where, when, and how she encounters such a name. “Xander.”She whispers, having the ring to the name that is more than just that. Recalling the guess list inside her mind, she still couldn’t figure out his identity, unless. “Xander what?”“Tsk!”She demands that Xander quickly reads from her expression that she is trying to catch him red-handed. Trying to know which family he came from. “Hmmm.” He pretends to think about it for a second. “Leaving it for you to figure out is more exciting than telling you who really am I.” his teasing game that didn’t amuse Erika. Instead, it irritates her and is pushing her patience. Yet, she couldn’t lose face nor make a scene. With her reputation in the line and the fact that they are at a social gathering that is composed of the business elites in the country and even overseas. “I do not have time for this kind of stuff, so if you will excuse me.”“Wai

    “THE bidding starts at!”The auction had started, with the guess bidding at the items they wanted and fighting for what they think is the rarest and most luxurious. All with half of the proceeds going to charity. “I am glad to see you both here CEO Lawrence and CEO Wayeright.”“The honor is mine Chairman Anderson.”“I am honored to be invited.”Sam and Aaron’s greeting and exchange of conversation with Chairman Anderson. Whose smile is wide and very proud of how the auction is going so far with his daughter spearheading everything on his behalf. “I was kind of worried that my daughter will get overwhelmed with herself since I gave her this important event to be the spearhead. But as I can see, she is more than capable and might be ready to inherit my business sooner than I expect of her.”The chairman’s compliment. Watching his only heiress while taking everything in control and smoothly in front of the busy crowd who are eying the items and what is to come. “One thing that I am wo

But. “One million dollars.”“One million dollars from the gentleman on the right!”“One million?”“Wow!”Xander is taking her attention in the most irritating way and a kind of flirting through bidding by a starting million from the last seven items that were presented. Staking the heights and earning them quite a cash, by setting the highest first bid. “One point five million.”The bidding continues, burning the stakes and high that the billionaire businessman is having so much fun about. Not just flaunting their riches, but enjoying the fact that they are defeating the new face and little rival of the night, Xander. “Mysterious. The hell I would buy such a lie.”Erika whisper

But I wouldn’t blame you for being in such a state. Just who could resist my charm?”Xander’s confidence that Erika wanted to snap in anger and push him away from her and for good.

Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life.

Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest.
