Part 2 Chapter 9
At the right moment, the lights went out, and I presumed Ice had done his work. I pretended to reluctantly follow the man out of the party venue as he sneaked us out through the back door.
A feeling of not playing by the rules streaked through me. Carson seemed to be a person who did not play by the rules. This made me wonder how easy it would be to gain his trust while I was doing what Kaiser wanted of me. Furthermore, he seemed to know Kaiser.
The night breeze teased my bare shoulders, chilling me slightly. I expected a splendid-looking Mercedes or some other luxurious car, but instead, Carson led me to a motorcycle.
“Is it right to leave Oscar like this?” I asked innocently in pretence.
“Girl, haven’t you ever cheated during exams?”

“Reached.”I got down from the motorcycle, hugging myself tightly against the cold wind. In my ears, Kaiser’s voice reminded me not to let down my guard. But right now, my heart was betraying me.All over a man who was Kaiser’s brother-in-law, and moreover, on our first meeting!Just minutes ago, I had gripped his shoulders tightly to counter the fast speed of the motorcycle. It became clear to me what I missed out on in all the men I had been with.Especially with Kaiser. Not only was it arduous to read his mind, but with his coldness, I didn’t know my place in his heart.We were standing just outside a cabin on the outskirts of town, which undoubtedly was his property. However, instead of feeling how I normally felt when serving a customer, I felt like I was a neglected wife ready to experience the sins of cheating on her husband. I didn’t know what to think, other than being drawn in by the moment.“Shea, is there something bo

“You’re here.”I was sitting by the swimming pool, running the chlorinated water along my legs, when I heard Kaiser’s icy voice, followed by his familiar figure approaching.Three days had passed since the one-night-stand incident with Carson Gao, and I wasn’t able to catch hold of Kaiser at all. He had ditched me in the luxurious hotel where I was all alone, but that was not what I was most concerned about.Firstly, there was the question of whether he was married. Kaiser never spoke about his personal affairs with me, and if he was indeed married, I knew this would be hard for me to accept. It was not the first time for me to encounter such a problem, because, in the past, Syl was married, rather unhappily, when we got together. But Kaiser…Kaiser was a different situation altogether. He was that light of hope I had to get my revenge, and without realising, I fell for him entirely. He negated my pain even with his coldness. I didn’t even see tha

A week laterThe next time I met with Carson was at a supermarket. I was pushing along a heavy trolley and picking out the groceries that I knew Kaiser would love most. Air-flown Australian strawberries, New Zealand grass-fed butter, the best cuts of red meat, some additional protein shakes from the healthy section, and so on. Recently Carson had been intrigued by testimonies from athletes on the ketogenic diet that he was determined to do the same. While I had a superb metabolic rate and didn’t need to go on any diet, I was spurred to accompany and motivate him on his journey.I had travelled around the area to other supermarkets to procure all the required items on my shopping list, knowing he would be away for a few days for business. Or more, considering he never told me about his agenda. He had taken his passport and a few clothes, so I presumed he would be travelling for quite a bit.The last tub of whey protein was located all the way up on a rack w

“How do you like it? Burgers and movies are my plans for a Friday night.”I munched gracefully into the burger on my plate. He had me sitting on the sofa with Netflix turned on, not allowing me to enter the kitchen while he put on an apron and fried up a burger and some snacks. I had to admit, his cooking was excellent. He should have opened his own diner.“The burger is delicious,” I admitted. “But I stopped watching movies a long time ago. I was hoping, that we got to know each other more.”“Oh?” He glanced at me for a few seconds and smiled. His smile was so enticing that it gave me goosebumps each time. “Tell me, Miss Tay, how do you want to do that?”“Let me finish eating first,” I said. He put some distance between us and finished his burger as well. I couldn’t get over the fact that I was alone with my target inside his abode, but I couldn’t wait either to perform what Kaiser wanted of me.He refilled my glass of water, surprising me with his excellent hospitality.

‘Piper, you can’t slip up. Remember what you are here for.’I told myself repeatedly while sipping the champagne from the glass. I was in a comfortable silk bathrobe, reclining on the sofa while watching Netflix.“Sorry for earlier. I was just a little too enthusiastic.” He gently held my hand in his paw. “If you need to, we can take this a step at a time.”I nodded amiably. Since I was merely putting on an act for Kaiser, he didn’t need to know what was in my mind. But tonight, I wished the person who asked me to marry him was not Carson, but his brother-in-law.“I won’t rush you. Just sit back and enjoy the movie.”I squeezed his hand back, faking a deeper smile. “Carson, you frightened me just now. You just reminded me of the past.”“The past?” He eyed me gingerly, probing, “Has anyone proposed to you before?”I rubbed my eye, pretending to wipe away an imaginary tear. “I don’t wish to talk about it right now.” Of cou

What I heard after that consoled me, making me realise that I was fretting over such trivial matters.Firstly, Carson was not Kaiser. There was no reason for me to be worried if he was cheating on someone else, neither was I meaning to stay for long.The fact he had asked me to be his wife negated the possibility of him being married; if he was indeed cheating, it would be on a girlfriend. But however, the person who had arrived was not a woman of his, yet, it was the most important woman in his life.No other than his sister, Erica Gao.I inhaled and listened in earnestly from the open door of his room, to what they conversed about in the living hall of his apartment.“Have you managed to find him?”She hadn’t bothered with greetings and cut to the chase immediately. From the way it sounded, ‘he’ was someone important to her.“Not yet. He wasn’t at the party.”“It’s been almost three years, Cars! Three f*cking years, Jiasen!” I had taken up Chinese during university. At that time, m

“Because of your feelings towards him or your fear that he is lying to you and wants to hurt you?”I cleared my throat and tried to remain calm. No matter what, I couldn’t panic, or Kaiser would assume his suspicions were true.“Kaiser, you know that it’s impossible for me to bear any feelings for anyone… but you.”I said the words with such depth that he stared at me.“Piper…”“I mean it. When can I finally be your only woman?” I implored.“What do you want, Piper? I’ve taken you with me for your safety. The only thing I asked from you is to distract my brother-in-law so he doesn’t ruin my plans.” Kaiser remained firm. I fixed the direction of my eyes on him and answered, “How can you not know, Kaiser? What I want is simple: marriage.”He was dumbfounded.I continued, “No matter which woman, they just want to be happily treated and loved by a husband who will love them. Marriage is the best thing they

We queued outside the cinema, hoping to get a ticket for The Rosary, the latest horror movie. I wasn’t afraid of watching horror movies, since what happened to me was even more terrifying than a movie. But horror movies were a season pass to a girl’s heart. Carson probably thought I was like them.Carson bought the ticket and then we walked towards the snacks section to get popcorn. He asked me my preferred flavour, and I answered him I was fine with anything. We decided on a mix of sweet and salty popcorn and then took our seats.He took my hand. It was early, and we were the only ones in the theatre.“Piper, I’m glad you agreed to come out with me.”“Well, my heart is not made of stone,” I replied casually. He didn’t let go of my hand. “It’s not that I get a chance like this every time,” he said. “Earlier, I asked if you were mad with me.”“I’m not mad. I was tired that day.”“It’s my fault. I tired you out,” he whis
