" You seem happy. " Alec handed her a cup of coffee.
" I'm very happy. " She wrapped her palms around the cup. Her finger tips were freezing.
" Sure you are. You just met your lover. " Alec leaned against the wall with his gaze to the sunset. He was jealous , ofcourse , but he wasnt threatened.
Gwen liked it when he got like this . It was entertaining. She couldn't help but drool at his perfectly toned chest. He was shirtless. Why was he shirtless? The orange sun rays lit up his body and he shone like a god.
" Please , do not stare at me like that. " He licked his lips. " I might end up doing something disastrous. "
" I'll stop." She was lying. His body was perfect.
" So...what did you guys talk about? Is everything okay?" Alec sat across her.
" Everything's fine. I think we finally made up. I know it'll take some time for things to smoothen out , but I'll wait. I'll wait. "
Alec held her hand. He knew she cared about Leo and he was in no position to interfere.
" Alec, " Gwen looked into his eyes.
" I want to know what exactly happened that night. I want to hear it from you. Please. "
" It's a new model. 22 caliber. A Taurus." Dwayne bragged about the gift he'd gotten Louis.
Louis proudly fired a round into the distance. It was a powerful beauty. He felt the thrill boil his blood from within. " It's amazing. Thank you , Dwayne."
" You deserve it. You've been working hard. Anything you want , that I can give you , is yours. "
Louis pondered on what he'd just said. He could have whatever he wanted. His mind was blank but he already knew what he wanted.
" Roop. " He looked equally shocked at what he'd just uttered. Dwayne's brows raised In amusement.
" Come again?"
" I'm sorry. I just-" Louis was having second thoughts.
" The girl has a debt to pay. She can't go free that easily...but..." He came to his ear.
" You can have her every single night. "
" I...that's not what I want. " Louis tried to explain .
" You sure?"
" Well not entirely. "
" Then tell me what you'd like exactly Louis. "
" I'd like to get her freed. "
Dwayne watched him closely. This kid was smitten with that whore. He smirked and held him by the shoulders.
" Done then. I'll set her free once you've done some urgent work for me. If you do it well, she's all yours. "
" Thank you , Dwayne."
" I think I have the kid wrapped around my finger. Now all we have to do is wait and see if he'll do the job. "
" He must. " Ryan was happy with the progress Dwayne had made. He hang up and poured the whiskey down his throat. It burnt all the way down. The house was offly quiet now. Freya had moved out a few days earlier and he was reeking with rage. She'd made a fool of him.
He'd been deserted by his family. They were all fools! His son and his wife were sleeping with the enemy. How thrilling!
There was a knock on his door. He didn't care if it was the frigging president out there. He wanted to be alone.
" Leave!" He yelled.
" It's me , Dad. " Richard came in anyway.
" What?"
Richard sighed. His father was a mess. He'd been drinking a lot. " I came to check on you. You haven't been to work in weeks. "
" I don't want to talk about this now. " He poured himself another drink." You handle it !"
A tiny smirk engraved on Richard's face.
" I can't. I don't have the authority. "
Ryan looked over his shoulder at his son.
" I'll give you temporary power over all my businesses. Tell Larry to bring the necessary documents first thing tomorrow morning. "
" Ofcourse. "
Richard left with a beaming smile . Temporary power? He laughed. He wanted it all. Everything.
