Code of Seduction

“No one can ever take what belongs to me! Just wait and see, Siena Mori…! I’ll claim back every single thing you have taken from me!” Alfonso shouted in a harsh voice.

“I’ve never taken anything belongs to you, Alfonso Garcia! Mister Adalfo himself left all his inheritances to me. If only you could be a devoted grandson when Mister Adalfo was still with us, this would never happen. Now that he has gone, you suddenly regret and make a big fuss over his inheritance! Shame on you!” Siena exclaimed loudly, unwilling to surrender to the man with Southern Europe look, who stood tall in front of her petite body.

“How dare you call my Grandfather by his first name? Who do you think you are? You’re just the daughter of a nurse! Stop acting too familiar with him!” Fury was clear in his voice.

“Oh, tell me, why can’t I? Mister Adalfo was a very humble man. He had never been arrogant for his entire life. And just so you know, Mister Adalfo even asked me to call him Grandpa…! I believe that you hardly ever call him that way, because you were not even by his side when he passed away…,” Siena retorted in a sharp and cold tone.

Alfonso was fuming with anger. His jaw tensed, his teeth clenched. His pair of grayish blue eyes glared in such a rage.

He was ready to burst out, but still controlling himself. It was just a young lady who stood in front of him, whose petite and delicate body would not be able to withstand his strength.

Alfonso thought to himself, ‘No, I must not be reckless. If news happened to come out that I had been rude to this girl, I would not be spared. The media would devour me alive. They must have been waiting for a perfect time to take revenge on me. I can’t let myself to be ridiculed by the media.’ Oh, yes, he understood exactly how the media worked.

On the other side, Siena was also considering reaction from the man who start a quarrel with her. To be honest, she did not like to argue with anybody. But it was the arrogance of Alfonso Garcia that fed her up, and more than anything else, she could not bear for being looked down by anyone.

She knew she was acting reckless, moreover when she saw Alfonso’s body that was a head taller than hers. What would possibly happen if the man decided to get rough on her, she could not imagine.

“Just wait and see…! My lawyer will bring this whole case to the court!” Alfonso threatened.

“Go ahead, Mister Garcia…! I challenge you! Don’t forget that Mister Adalfo’s lawyer is also my lawyer now. Damien Lambert himself wrote the last will and testament on behalf of Mister Adalfo. He will be pleased to explain everything in the court, how Mister Adalfo preferred to leave all his possessions to the daughter of his nurse, rather than his own grandson!”  Siena finished her sentences in a high tone.

There was no turning back. They had intimidated each other. The grayish blue eyes of Alfonso met the hazel eyes of Siena. Their faces both turned red with anger; it looked as if they were ready to devour their opponent.

Alfonso narrowed his eyes. This girl with oriental look was absolutely outrageous to challenge him. Who was this stubborn girl? Didn’t she know anything about the renowned Alfonso Garcia? It was not his type to argue with a girl, but what else could he do?

‘Siena Mori, just wait for my revenge!’ Alfonso said in his mind.

“Alright, if that’s what you want. We’ll see each other soon,” declared Alfonso.

The tall and sturdy man turned his body around, walked out from his grandfather’s study room where they had quarreled, and slammed the door shut with a cracking noise.

Siena glared at the closed door. Deep inside her heart, she was actually tired of it all.

The girl with shoulder-length straight hair threw herself on a classic chair in the middle of the study room. Taking a long deep breath, she sat there with a gloomy face, feeling faint.

Never did she imagine that her encounter today with Alfonso Garcia, the only grandson of Adalfo Garcia, would end up with a new disaster.
