It was almost eight in the evening when they reached the resort. Red is so hungry, remembering that the last time she had eaten was just earlier in that morning. She wished there is something to eat inside of that modern house beside the beach.
The driver took her luggage and carried it inside the house, she moved her feet to follow him behind. The house was empty and silent when they got in. He walked straight into the place of her bedroom. Then he opened the door and put her things inside. She felt no other presence inside the house aside from both of them. After making sure there's nothing left for him to do, the driver turned towards her to let her know that he is leaving.
"Thank you very much".
She thanked the man and felt the urged to ask him where her new employer is, at this time of the night but she quickly change her mind.
"Prego." (You're welcome) came out his short reply in a deep masculine voice and he
Red decided not to stay long in his room, she felt the need to get some sleep finally after helping him with his wounds. The sudden feel of exhaustion made her weak from the thought of him fighting with another man outside. He could have encountered the worst and to think that this is not his country. Her concern and worry towards him intertwined."Thanks for tonight Red". He murmured softly when she's done."You're welcome." Red paused before she added."Goodnight.""Good night". He whispered back while looking intently in her eyes. She was almost mesmerized by the way he looked at her but she turned her back on him..slowly and headed for the door to get out. She felt the room almost suffocating her lungs if she is to stay a while longer.With her body slightly shivering, she went back to her room and locked her door. A sigh escaped her lips before she lay flat on top of her bed. She wondered what would her D
Axel halted the vehicle on a parking space provided for the restaurant patrons. The place had a sign board that says "Exclusive parking for Marina Waves customers". A quote below caught Reda's eyes. "Let us give you the best Breakfast with the ocean waves". It sounded exciting to find out and experience the quoted words by the restaurant.There were a number of different vehicles beside their car. Axel swiftly opened his door and made a turn to open for her side. A gesture which made Reda's heart flutter."This is where we start walking, I hope you are ready for some morning exercise."His eyes roamed around her body when she gets out of the car while he is standing in front of her. Narrowing the distance between them, Red thought the scene is just too closed for her comfort that she wanted to take a step back if it would not make her look like a fool. Behind her is already the cold metal door of the car."Yeah, of
It almost blew his mind away. Axel never expected to see him this very morning after the incident he did last night. He saw how the man spoke something to the manager of the restaurant, and how the latter conceded with a smile.Axel thought he must be a regular guest to this place."I see you managed to put a new bandage on your own."Reda's eyes from his injured hand trailed to his arm before resting on his face. While he is busy looking at the two new comer inside the restaurant. When he fail to reply, Reda glanced at the place where he keep his eyes fastened."Oh! That's uncle Alexander and Mr. Romolo."She gasped but managed to calmed herself and even waved her hand to get her uncle's attention. It might be too late to hide what she's actually doing in his restaurant and why would she? When there is nothing wrong with having breakfast in his restaurant. Except that she is not alone, and the man with her is a foreigne
"Have a seat Reda Faith."Her uncle's voice filled the silent air inside the room. He was seated comfortably on a swivel chair behind a desk, his eyes encouraging her to moved forward and sit on the empty chair in front of his desk. Alexander rarely calls her by her full name, and by that she knew he wants a serious talk."Sure uncle, what is it that you want us to talk about?"Her uncle cleared his throat and removed his back from the chair. He leaned forward and looked her in the eyes."How long have you known the man Reda? What do you work for him?""Oh, i only knew him a couple of days ago and i work as his tour guide. Dad knows about the job uncle. I needed some extra cash for my class travels so I accepted it."Alexander furrowed his brows. "Did you happen to sign a contract with him?""Yes. Just a one month contract to work as his tour guide.""A month huh, i gues
Their next destination was at the dock, Axel has always wanted to buy a boat but a new one which is both for pleasure and business. He has one back in Italy but it was just left for him by Giovann and he couldn't bring it here, so why not buy a different one for this place particularly. Then he could sail to the nearby countries, like Singapore, Japan and Malaysia."Wow, are we going to rent a yacht? You know we could rent it for a day and sail in the ocean until the evening."Reda was enthusiastic upon their arrival at the docks. There were a number of yacht in front of them, some are big and luxurious while there are smaller ones that is for sale. "I'm glad you like yachts Reda. Tell you what, we can buy one... instead of renting."He casually said it which earned a loud gasp in Reda's mouth. She was totally speechless, just how rich is this man could be that he would buy a yacht to be used for just a month? Or perhaps
"So it's settled Axel, the yacht will be ready to sail tomorrow and it is yours! Congratulations." She smiled while removing the seat belt strap in her body. It was nine in the evening. They had wonderful dinner outside and all expenses was paid by her handsome employer. Although she felt a little bit exhausted but she's happy."Yes Red, Thank you for your help today. To be honest it's been a while since I have enjoyed a woman's company, and it's all thanks to you."His voice turned huskier as he leaned closer against her. Trapping her in between the car's soft leather seat and his body, Reda felt her hand trembled in between her lap, suddenly she was well aware of him.She couldn't look at his face straight, afraid of her growing feelings to get discovered. Her shoulders stiffened as she focused her eyes in front of the car. They were alone. Intimately alone."Don't mention it,
(Reda 1st POV)"Dad, I'm sorry. I decided to stay in with my employer just like how the contract which I signed says."I wasn't sure where I get the courage to tell my dad exactly what I have decided and let him know that I am making the decision on my own. Perhaps it's because of this man in front of me. Axel. He was just standing near me with his arms folded across his chest, leaning his side on the wall beside the door of my bedroom and listening to the conversation I have on the phone."Reda!?, Come back home now! I want you back here, without questions. It has been a long time since my Dad shouted and used this tone for me.I flinched when I heard him slam the phone in the cradle, which I'm sure that it made the apparatus broke. As usual, few words and he expected me to understand and follow, like an obedient daughter that I am. I sighed heavily."Something wrong?"
(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.
