“ACQUIRE it and fast. You know the drill. Do not fail me, Aaron.”“I won’t.”The call ended, and the atmosphere around Aaron a bit lessens with the burden of his job and who he is. All after just accepting the call and instruction of their Chairman. “Have you prepared the amount and bribed the necessary personnel that is needed? Ash?”“Everything is set and complete.”“Excellent.”Dark and ominous. Aaron’s intention that is given to him by the organization is showing. Taking advantage of the exemption that auction items are holding to smuggle and escape the noses of the authority. “The Chairman called. Hiro will be here at midnight to get the item. We better acquire it and fast without any suspicion.”“I already finished looking at the map of the entire hotel and beach resort. A blind spot at the very back is the best place to take it without anyone noticing.”“Just make sure that the most important thing is extracted carefully from the item. For we still need to show everyone tomor

“WHAT am I going to do?”Lindsey whispers, sighing deeply and randomly asking a question to the air while holding her phone a bit tight. Worried about Harry and the miss calls and voice mail that seem to be being ignored by her husband. The first time Harry did such a thing it made her worried. Recalling the day and their conversation. Harry’s reason for not coming with her and the possibility that is only scaring her, yet she knew that her husband will not do such a thing. “Wake up Lindsey! Do not think for those negativities, Harry will not do such a thing to you.”She slaps herself a bit hard, making her checks a bit redden while convincing her mind that everything is alright and might as well Harry be just preoccupied with work and the problem that he needed to attend to and fast. “You didn’t choose and marry him just to doubt him like this. In the first place, Harry only did good things for you, so you do not have the excuse to doubt him now.”She added, a bit calculating the

“ALEXANDER?”Erika thought and deep about his familiar name, yet she just couldn’t point out where, when, and how she encounters such a name. “Xander.”She whispers, having the ring to the name that is more than just that. Recalling the guess list inside her mind, she still couldn’t figure out his identity, unless. “Xander what?”“Tsk!”She demands that Xander quickly reads from her expression that she is trying to catch him red-handed. Trying to know which family he came from. “Hmmm.” He pretends to think about it for a second. “Leaving it for you to figure out is more exciting than telling you who really am I.” his teasing game that didn’t amuse Erika. Instead, it irritates her and is pushing her patience. Yet, she couldn’t lose face nor make a scene. With her reputation in the line and the fact that they are at a social gathering that is composed of the business elites in the country and even overseas. “I do not have time for this kind of stuff, so if you will excuse me.”“Wai

“XANDER, the name’s Xander.”Words that irritate Erika, and Xander’s smile and proud way like a Casanova are making her quite insane. She wanted to curse the guy, put him in place, and tell him that he doesn’t have the right nor any chance, and was not even permitted to have to look and worst talk with her. But. “One million dollars.”“One million dollars from the gentleman on the right!”“One million?”“Wow!”Xander is taking her attention in the most irritating way and a kind of flirting through bidding by a starting million from the last seven items that were presented. Staking the heights and earning them quite a cash, by setting the highest first bid. “One point five million.”The bidding continues, burning the stakes and high that the billionaire businessman is having so much fun about. Not just flaunting their riches, but enjoying the fact that they are defeating the new face and little rival of the night, Xander. “Mysterious. The hell I would buy such a lie.”Erika whisper

“IF you lose, then I shall have you for the entire week.”Xander’s confident smile. That turns into a grin, that Erika felt that uncanny feeling about. Taking three steps away with her intuition that’s screaming at her that there is something more to it that she isn’t prepared to face nor will ever be. Tearing her conviction into two and having doubts if she should accept the game or not.“I am waiting for your answer. Or isn’t it, you are now afraid?”His provocation snaps Erika’s patience, degrading her pride, and for someone like her that is high and proud, her impulse kicks and dominated. Now facing Xander head-on and that pride of hers. “Very well.”She speaks with confidence. Reaching her right hand for a handshake to close the bet. But.“Tsk! Got you.”Naughty. And being one in the first place, Xander pulled her close back to his. Locking her in his arms and an inch away apart from each other’s faces. The wind then blew gently, letting her smell his calming scent that remind
