RAVIEL (SEVENTEEN)

I checked every monitor that was connected to every corner of this house. All clear. No threats approaching. I placed two CCTVs in Claire's room and a bug. Every time I was in this room, I never missed the opportunity to watch her. Claire was unpacking her suitcase and throwing all her dirty clothes into the laundry basket. Claire was a straight woman. She never did anything weird in her room other than...

Other than what I saw right now.

My lips twitched, grinning at what Claire was doing.

I leaned back in my throne and watched Claire as she took off her mourning clothes layer by layer. I guess she was going to take a shower. She must be hot after being outside in the hot sun and dealing with several mourners who were mostly Karina's friends from several clubs she had joined.

I licked the corner of my lips looking at my stepdaughter's voluptuous body. She was standing in the middle of her room in only her underwear. Just like when we were at the beach. She put her hands on her hips, observing her room before bending down to pick up her dirty clothes. Her curvy ass was facing me. I wanted to squeeze them with both of my palms. She had everything perfect. I was starving to touch her, but I couldn't do it now. She was still mourning her mother's death, and I would give her time to adjust to her new life.

"Come closer to me, Claire. Give me a view of your amazing breasts."

Claire shivered from the cold. I guess it was because of the air conditioning in her room. The peaks of her breasts were pointed behind her bra cups that could barely accommodate her entire assets. She was beautiful everywhere. Stupid me for only realizing it in the last few months. And it all happened by accident.

That night, I had just returned from Miami to take care of some things. I went to this room to check on the situation in the house. Unexpectedly, I found Claire swimming in the pool. It was nine p.m, but she swam agilely like a beautiful mermaid. Her body was wrapped in a black bikini that contrasted greatly with her white skin. Since then, she never been out of my sight. I even secretly installed two CCTV cameras and a bug in her room when she was away on campus.

Now, I could see her from anywhere. I could see her on my phone. I could see her from afar when I had to take care of the annoying things that sometimes make me sick.

Just as Claire closed the bathroom door, my phone rang on the table. It was a call from my phone to handle the things my uncle left me. A legacy.

“I hope you called me for something important Seth.”

“Boss, you need to come to the base tomorrow.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Our client is upset because the package arrived incomplete. I have sent some of our trusted men to check it. They will give you the results tomorrow.”

“Some little rat tried to steal from me, huh?”

The blood in my body boiled. I dislike thieves and traitors.

“Who’s responsible for that shipment? I want to see him tomorrow at eight. I have to go to Miami the day after tomorrow to check on my weapons factory. All the business of theft and betrayal must be finished by tomorrow.”

“Understood, boss.”

“Anything else you want to say?”

“Have you heard the news about Las Vegas?”

“Leak it to me.”

“The Las Vegas government suspects that the action was carried out by terrorists from the Middle East. No one has linked the incident to you, boss.”

“I know. I left no trace. Anything else?”

“Yes. You have a new order. It just came in this afternoon. I checked it, and there is no problem. This person has a clean history. I mean no financial problems that will interfere with the final payment.”

“I’m all ears.”

“He’s desperate and frustrated. He wants the execution done as soon as possible before election day next week.”

“Who does he want to eliminate?”

“Senator Alan Robert.”

“Wow, he must be a dangerous competitor. Tell him the price for Alan Robert is different. He is an important man with serious supporters. Eliminating him will take more than a bullet to the brain. And a week? Time is tight.”

“Do you want me to cancel it?”

“No. This will be a challenging execution. I will accept it. Even though the time is tight, it doesn't mean I can't do it. I once executed a corrupt minister from Europe with less than twenty-four hours of preparation."

“Okay. I will connect him to your portal today so he can talk to you as soon as possible.”

“Good. And get me Senator Alan Robert’s schedule. He must be very busy campaigning and attending dinners at various places. I want his schedule by tonight. Can you do that?”

“Yes. I will get it for you.”

“Okay. We will meet tomorrow. Make sure the rat is found when I arrive.”

“Understood, boss.”

I hung up the phone and half-tossed it on the table. I had a very busy week ahead of me. I had hoped to spend more time at home with Claire as she grieved her mother's death. Unfortunately, I had things to wrap up quickly before things got out of hand.
