“Where have you been spending your nights?” his father asked. “Why are you asking about something that you already know?” Reiner asked in reply. King’s lips curved into a smirk, and he did not avert his gaze from his son. Reiner saw no reason to justify his actions and decided to remain silent to see what his father truly wanted. “She’s not your fiancée,” King stated flatly. “Is that a problem?” Reiner asked bluntly. The smirk on King’s lips deepened before he started chuckling softly to himself. Reiner wasn’t sure what his father found so amusing about the conversation that they were having but he decided that the less he said, the better it would be. King was hard to read, and he was very unpredictable. Dealing with King had never been easy, and Reiner had figured out that staying passive was the best approach. He decided to simply wait and see. “Not at all. As long as the child is yours, I couldn’t care less who the mother is,” King replied before grinning at his son. “Is th

“Ok. See you tomorrow…if something happens, just call me,” Reiner said and for a moment he seemed overly worried.I mean, I’m just sleeping over with Kat at her place. What can possibly happen? Since that incident with Rachael, I have never seen her again and even if I did, I don’t think that she would dare hurt me again. Reiner didn’t tell me about how he settled things with her after the incident. Truthfully, I was more than slightly curious about it but I was hesitant to ask Reiner directly about it. “I’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much. See you and goodnight,” I replied sweetly.“Goodnight,” Reiner said before hanging up. I clutched my phone to my chest like it was something precious and rare. Tomorrow, I’m finally going on a date with Reiner. Suddenly everything seemed to be going well and smooth. Carrying Kat to her bed in her drunken state seemed like such an easy task in comparison to other things that I’ve been through. …11AM was just around the corner and Kat was still fa

“Then let’s go!” I cried out happily as I began pulling on his hand again. The sparkling clear blue water was so breathtakingly beautiful. It was like everything about the scenery around us was begging to be enjoyed. The wind was blowing, and it felt cool against the bare skin of my body and face. The sun was high in the sky, yet it wasn’t scorching hot. The fine sand beneath my feet looked like gold. I have never been to or seen such an untouched and well-preserved beach before. Reiner looked a little hesitant as he followed me towards the water. I wished that he would walk faster but he wouldn’t. Considering our size difference, it wasn’t exactly possible for me to drag him at my pace. “Don’t rush. The water is probably a little cool. It isn’t as warm as it looks…” Reiner warned when we reached the edge of the water. “Is that so?” I asked curiously. Trying to keep my balance, I dipped a toe and then a foot into the sea water. I found out that Reiner was right, despite the sun s

“R…” I called his name softly without realizing it.Reiner’s attention returned to me immediately when he heard me say his name. Now that his attention was one me, I realized that I didn’t have anything to say to him. I wanted to ask him if something was bothering him, but I knew that he would probably tell me that it was nothing for me to worry about. “Umm…thank you for bringing me here, getting me the books…and everything…” I thanked him once again. “All that’s left now is for us to sunbathe together and chat…” Reiner replied as he lay down on the towel. I didn’t quite understand what he meant by that, but I decided to lay down next to him. The sun caressed our skin, and we were indeed sunbathing while we enjoyed the comfort of each other’s company. As for the chatting part, we’ve done quite a lot of that already since the date started. Reiner reached for my hand and held it firmly in his as we lay there side by side. I waited for him to explain his words from earlier, but it did

Reiner doubt that this was just all about money for King. The business had been booming since he set it up. King and the company were extremely wealthy, and all their income were not taxed by any government. King’s main problem is where to store and hide his wealth and not how to acquire more wealth. “What do you really want?” Reiner asked as he slowly stood up from his seat.There was something very suspicious about the details and the timing of the client’s request; however, Reiner knew that the request was real. King wouldn’t fake up something like this no matter what he had to gain from it. The request was real and that meant that if he didn’t do something about it a very talented assassin would be assigned to the job to finish it up quickly and hopefully quietly. It didn’t help that Natalia was walking around freely on this island where the agents were based. “Nothing. As I said, I just thought that I should let you know. You are my son after all…” King replied like none of thi
