12. The Journey
The most challenging journey in your life is the journey to find yourself.
*****
Back to the present time.
Siena was sitting with a somber face in Adalfo’s private jet. Alfonso was on another seat, not far from across her seat. But she knew his piercing eyes kept glancing at her several times from the moment they sat, as if he was scrutinizing her.
Her cellphone suddenly rang. “Hi, Damien….”
“Siena, what are you doing?!” Damien sounded panic. “You can’t go to Dubai with Alfonso! He’s dangerous! I’m heading to the airport now! You must wait for me! Don’t leave without me!” he instructed.
Siena glimpsed at Alfonso. He was looking back at her with a mischievous smile on his face.
“Damien, I’m sorry. I can’t expla

They had travelled more than half an hour from the glamorous city center of Dubai. Getting further, the environment somehow looked contrast. Instead of luxurious view, factories and simple houses dominated. The black Mercedes Benz stopped in front of a large and tall building, looking more like a simple apartment.“This is the House of Aman,” the driver from Adalfo Hotel informed.Siena turned her gaze out. The building was far from luxurious. It was almost similar to her previous rented apartment, simple and clean. But the barren, hot, and dusty environment surrounding made the building look bleak.Siena opened the car door. But Alfonso did not even move an inch.“You’re not coming?” Siena asked, frowning.“I’d better stay here. It’s too hot outside. Besides, I know there’s nothing worth enough here, just by catching a glimps
Code of Seduction 14. Having Fun
A wide grin showed on Alfonso’s face. He really enjoyed having fun by mocking Siena. “It’s easy. Just follow whatever I want. As simple as that,” he spoke nonchalantly.“But what do you want? You can’t just order me to do whatever you like!” Siena growled.Alfonso leaned his body comfortably on the car seat, as the car driving them back to the city center. “Just start with accompanying me around the city of Dubai.”Alfonso was really serious with his words. He instructed their driver to drive them around the city center. As the day getting late, he demanded to visit a grand shopping center full of people. He strode in to a deluxe boutique with Siena tailing from behind. Just in the wink of an eye, a young girl who was the shop assistant served him passionately.“Thanks to you, I don’t even bring any clothes with me. Thus you must pay e
Code of Seduction 15. Wild Night
Siena preferred to enjoy her sparkling water rather than the night club atmosphere. She did not know anybody here, and was not interested in dancing or hanging around with someone. “What so good about night club? There are so many other places worth to visit in Dubai,” she kept on mumbling to herself. “Good evening,” a deep voice greeted from behind her. She turned around her seat. Two men around their thirties were smiling at her. The first man was blonde and brown-eyed; the other was brown-haired and blue-eyed. They both wore fancy tuxedos, looking so glamorous. “Are you alone?” asked the blonde man. “Seems like you’re new visitor. I’ve been to this club many times, but never seen you before.” She could smell strong alcohol scent from their breath. Her instinct alerted her at once. “Well, I’m not alone. I come here with a friend, but she’s… in the toilet now,” she rep
Code of Seduction 16. The Second Clue
Unable to close her eyes, Siena was still turning back and forth restlessly in her bed long after she lay down. Her thoughts just kept on drifted back to everything happened today. At one point, she was really upset because Alfonso ‘kidnapped’ her, forcing her to come to Dubai with him, while she and Damien had prepared all their plans well. On the other side, she was also wondering why Alfonso was willing to help her at the night club. He even beat up the jerk harassing her.“Should I thank him?” she murmured. The next second, she shook her head. “Hell no! He was the one who kidnapped me to Dubai! He also forced me to go to the night club!” she grumbled.However she could not deny that she was amazed by Alfonso’s strength and skill. She was born and lived in Japan until she was ten. That was the time when her own grandfather taught her Aikido. She continued to practice the skill to defense herself a
Code of Seduction 17. Anger
Siena and Alfonso were already in the private jet, preparing to fly to Spain. They sat opposite each other. The plane was waiting for permission from the authority to take off.Beep, beep!Alfonso answered his phone call, “Hi, Cutie Pie…. Yeah, I’m fine. We’re heading to Spain….”Siena rolled her eyes. Did Alfonso just say Cutie Pie? It had to be his lover calling, the blonde woman who looked like a Hollywood actress. Why did he call his lover with such a ridiculous name? It did not even fit his arrogant style! Covering her mouth with one hand, Siena tried to hide her laugh.Alfonso glanced over at Siena. Why was she laughing, what was funny?“Alright, I’ll call you later….” He hung up the phone.“What’s so funny?” Alfonso stared at Siena with serious expression.
Code of Seduction 18. Memory
Siena stood in front of Alfonso, preventing him from approaching Carla. Alfonso's eyes were still flaming with anger when his gaze settled on Siena’s face. Though feeling a bit terrified, Siena forced herself to be brave facing this bad-tempered man. “What did you say?” he asked. “Let’s not create a scene here,” she pleaded. “No, you said, you’ll go with me wherever I want to go?” Alfonso lifted his brow. Swallowing nervously, she could not take back her words. “Yes, as long as you won’t do anything stupid. Don’t you want to go to Castell de Bellver?” Alfonso seemed to ponder. “You’d better keep your word. Get in the car,” he instructed, but this time his voice softened. Alfonso shot a stare at Carla for a while, but finally he stepped in the car. Letting out a sigh of relief, Siena smiled a faint smile to Carla, and then she got in
Code of Seduction 19. Proud
Alfonso and Siena stood in silence on the castle tower. Alfonso felt as if a heavy burden was released from his heart. Why he chose to tell all his past to Siena, he could not understand either. But Siena was right, after sharing his problem, he felt much relieved.“So that’s why you were in bad temper ever since we arrived in this city? Because of the bad memory and the pain?” Siena broke the silence.Alfonso turned around and laid eyes on her. “For one reason, yes. Another reason was because I was upset. Of so many places in this world, why should Grandfather choose this city for leaving his asset, the place where all the problems started?”“Maybe it was the opposite for Grandpa. Maybe all he could remember of this place was the beautiful moments when he enjoyed the holidays with you,” she spoke gently.A frown settled on his face. “You

Alfonso and Siena were staring at the huge sycamore tree in front of them.“Did you or Grandpa write the text?” she asked.Alfonso shook his head. “As far as I know, the text was already there since the first time I came here. Grandfather didn’t know who made it either. But he said the text was to remind every human being who tended to be proud.”“So why did you bring me here?”“Because you said something about digging the floor. I remember, Grandfather and I used to play digging and hiding something here, in the ground under this tree,” he stated.Siena's jaw fell open. “Why not? We must try! Maybe Grandpa hid a message down here!” she sounded excited.Alfonso turned his head around, looking for something. He took a big tree branch from the ground. Then he started to dig the grou
