My face crinkled in bewilderment about this man’s words. What is he talking about?
“This luring style is productive, and I was victorious for you to fall into my hands,” he said while taking his steps closer to mine, “Those white hair of yours, I can’t help but confine them on my hands.”
My right eyebrow rose as I stared at the man walking in my direction, “What are you saying? Are you mistaking me for someone?” I confusedly ask.
My question was left unrefuted by the man who suddenly closed the gap between us. I was startled when he reached my jaw, pulling my face closer to him.
“You are under suspicion, but I’m sure barking up the right sunflower.”
“What do you want?”
“You.”
I quickly removed my face from his hands with my gaze open-mouthed. I tied my tongue and promptly turned away from his direction. I was about to walk out when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and quickly pulled me forward.
“You are not going anywhere,” he rigidly said as I felt his mouth between my ears. With all my strength, I pushed him away from me.
I have no idea why this man doing this to me.
“Sir, you don’t have the authority over me. I can go anywhere if I want to. Who are you? Why are you acting like you know the whole of me?” I provoke.
His words were arousing me, building my impatience to become the rage.
He didn’t answer. Instead, he turned his head to the men earlier and nodded, making them leave in an instance.
“We already met at the Hotel last week. Don’t you remember?” his husky voice was going deeper as his monolid brown eyes were staring directly at me, sending me to the unknown abyss.
“Hotel?” I asked, pretending to not getting his words. He suddenly clicks his tongue, flashing a devilish look in his eyes.
“You don’t remember?” he asked while the smirk was fading from his face.
“Would I ask if I know in the first place?” I answered sarcastically. He didn’t say a word, but I was shocked when he took only one step between us, which surprised me.
I stared at his face as his brown eyes were like pulling me down to the bottom of the ocean.
“Zygo Fiernan. Does it ring a bell?”
“No.”
“Seriously?”
“You know what? You’re just wasting my time. I’m not in arrears with you or anyone else; why are you doing this? You are pinning me from moving forward,” I uttered.
“I’m Tranquil’s greatest billionaire,” he drones with an arrogant voice. I raised an eyebrow.
“If you think that I’m like the woman earlier who was so eager for money, no. I don’t give a damn, even if you are a billionaire or the president of Tranquil. All I want is to be out from your sight.”
He suddenly laughed. I don’t know if it’s authentic or fake, but his deep and husky voice gave me chills. His brown eyes twinkle while not taking his gaze away from me.
This man in front of me was satisfied by making me feel this annoyance.
“I can’t help but stare because you become even more beautiful when you get angry.”
I remained silent because I wanted to get rid of this atmosphere, especially this man in front of me. This is the first time in my life, having someone like him pestering the whole of me.
I let out a deep sigh while my body had this desire to leave. I looked around, and there were no other people from where we were. Nor could my eyes find the two men that were here earlier.
I looked back at the man, stared at him while flashing the eagerness on my face to leave at this instance. He grooves his forehead showing that he doesn’t like my current expression.
“I can do anything I want. I can even put you in jail. Aren’t you afraid?”
“You’ll incarcerate me? In what reason?”
“For breaching my eyes and terrorizing my heart.”
I was stiffened because of this man’s last words and his change of expression. His brown eyes were intense, but I did not let him win and stared back at him, fighting.
What the heck is he saying?
“If you have a well-founded reason to put me behind bars, go.”
“Why are you undisturbed?”
“I don’t need a pardon because I’m guiltless.”
This Zygo man laughed softly again as both ends of his lips stretched while his brown eyes staring at me intensely.
He fished something from his pocket without letting off his eyes from me.
“Would you still pretend as a squeaky clean after you see this?” he announced and revealed me something, so I instantly glanced at it. He was clutching a cellphone while a video was playing.
I attended to how the entire video play. It was a copy of CCTV footage when I intended to snatch the ring inside ZF Hotel last week.
I bit my lower lip, suppressing myself; I can feel how my heartbeat furiously. This man, Zygo, was just staring at me with eyes like gaining a victory in a fierce battle.
“I have an offer,” he said, composing his stance while putting back the phone in his pocket without breaking off his eyes.
I stared at him intently. Once again, I confirmed if he was the man I saw at the Hotel even though there is no trace of error in that. I was like facing a dangerous Lycan because of his anticipation.
I secretly blew and bit my lower lip again. I left the road where many people were to avoid any attention, but I came across this weird one. How did he know I would pass by here, or how did he make sure that I was the person he saw one week ago?
Oh. Maybe it’s because of this white hair of mine!
I don’t hate it, but I dislike the thought of having this snowy hair color because it grabs other people’s attention.
“Offer? If I will accept it, would you stop jerking around?”
“Kind of.”
“What is your proposal?”
After I let those words out of my mouth, his lips suddenly flashed a smirk. He was happy, winning the competition.
“Be my woman,” he abruptly said like he owns the whole world.
“Is the nails on your head was starting to lose? If it is, I can help you sort it out to a better arrangement.”
He suddenly chuckles, flashing a wide smile while showing straight and balanced white teeth. It looks attractive.
“Be mine. Submit yourself to me, and I promise to give you everything you want in this world.”
It’s been two days. I’m here inside our hideout, sitting in front of the table while facing a laptop. “This is the first time you’ve borrowed a laptop, GD. Where are you going to use that? ” Tara muttered behind me and felt her sitting next to me. I did not mind looking in her direction and opened the chrome; then, I let my fingers press the letters on the keyboard before the screen flashed someone’s information. “Zygo Fiernan?” Tara asked when her eyes landed on the laptop as I remained my face straight to the front, “You know him?” I shrugged while scrolling on the man’s profile, “Why are you having an interest in him then?” My hands stopped. I looked at Chris and Clark playing chess to our right before turning it over to Tara. “Can’t I just stalk him without having an interest?” She raised her right brow, shooting
“Hey, officer. Can I borrow a phone?” I asked the policeman who passed by while I was inside the jail. He ignored me and just kept walking.I’ve been incarcerated for three hours, and that antipathetic tycoon had left before I was put behind this jail. I was begging to borrow a phone, but they ignored me.I sighed and immediately left near the railings. Fortunately, I was the only one in the cell and have been standing until now, asking them a favor to lend me a phone.I swiftly sat down in the corner because I was already feeling tiredness in my body.While sitting at the corner, I pressed my palms together. I didn’t expect that man to actually do what he said. Is he that desperate?I don’t know how he got the arrest warrant, and I can’t do anything, especially since he showed them a video earlier as proof when the police interroga
“Good morning, sweetheart.”A familiar voice greeted me when I opened my eyes.I looked for my mother. She was standing in front of the enormous window and had just opened the closed cream-colored curtain.“How long have you been here?” I asked, still lying on the bed.“Can you hear your voice, sweetheart? You sound strained. How much did you spend drinking in a pub?” she asked, walking in my direction.“I just drank eight glasses of Roberta, mom. I’m not that intoxicated with alcohol,” I groaned when I tried to sit up from lying. My head hurt, and my back was in pain.“Then, do you know who brings you here?” I stared at my mother, who was walking towards me. She sat down next to me and swiftly stroked my hair.I tried to remember what happened
“Looks like your knight was at the right time, my damsel in distress.” I immediately stared at the face of the person next to me as he held the drunk man’s wrist. What is he doing here? “Who are you, asshole!” We both turned our gazes at the drunk man. “I’m her man,” the man beside me boldly said. He then released the drunk man’s hand forcedly, “Leave before my eyes cannot find the reason to spare you from touching my property.” My left brow raised as I turned my eyes again on the man beside me. “Excuse me?” I asked. He looks at me while grinning. “Are you okay?” “Don’t be so high on yourself, tycoon. I’m not your property. No one owns me.” “Well. No one also needs your permission. I can mark everything I want,” this tycoon said and then smirked while looking ba
“There will be a big auction at Tranquil that will happen tonight,” Chris said. We are inside the hideout, discussing our next move. I had lunch yesterday with that Zygo, and it did not go well. He had a lot of questions, but I remained silent the whole time while I was with him. I ignored his chatter. I did not assume that a tycoon like him was that kind of person. His mouth is more feminine than mine. “Dhara, are you listening?” I was startled by Clark’s question, but I tried to hide it. “Uh, yes. Go ahead.” “What kind of auction, Chris?” Tara asked; she’s beside me, firmly staring at Chris. “A jewelry and antique auction,” Chris answered. “Is it safe?” Clark asked with an unwelded voice. “We won’t know if we won’t try.” “What are you thinking, Chris! GD
“Let’s do our best,” Chris whispered while we walked inside the building. I turned behind us, and we were far between Tara and Clark. Many people wore formal attire while holding expensive wine glasses. We walk among the rippling crowds. “Besides the underground auction, what other event is going on tonight in this building, Chris?” I asked in a low voice as I anchored my hands on my friend’s arm. “A birthday party, but obviously, it’s just a cover of the ongoing auction behind. As I said earlier, Clark and Tara will attend the party, and we will enter the bidding.” Chris said as we walked continuously. Tara was against this because Chris chose me to be his partner at the auction. She even complained that Clark could go instead of me. Actually, I really don’t know why Chris asked me to be with him in the first place w
It’s already ten minutes since Chris left me while the auction for the Pandora ring’s still ongoing.“You look stunning. Just like the first time we saw each other, you are wearing black. A color used for sophisticated, brave, elegant, and mysterious person.”I immediately looked up. A man wearing a face mask was standing behind me.“Mind if I sit beside you, my damsel?” he asked, but then, he suddenly sat down without my answer.I was shocked because I prayed that our paths would never meet again last time, but the world is playing with me here.I let out a deep sigh, ignoring this tycoon’s existence. I focus on the platform. I couldn’t help but pursue my lips as I stared at the ring placed on the table.It was tempting me.“You like that?” the man beside
“Is this a real gold?” Tara asked while amusement enveloped her body. Chris nodded with a smiling face.“We almost got caught yesterday night,” Clark muttered with a lazy tone as he lay his back to the sofa.It’s already afternoon, and we are facing each other inside the headquarters.“Yes, almost!” Tara hissed and stared at Chris, “Even if we caught something precious as this Pandora, promise me, Chris, this is the last time that we will do such a tremendous plan.”Chris smirked and stared at me.“The important thing is that those goons did not seize us! Also, Gands likes the ring, so it’s worth it the suspense!”I raised my left brow but couldn’t help my lips from forming a curve. We looked at each other, making us laugh simultaneously, thinking about the chasing
