Asena's heart drummed like never before. In fact, she wasn't herself. The lump in her throat was something that couldn't be fixed. She was trying her best to understand what the hell was going on.
"Y-you know?" She stammered, trying to get the clear picture of what they had said to her. She couldn't even think about it. For some reason she didn't know how else to make sense of everything else.
"Yes. We finally know who wanted to kidnap you…"
Her eyes widened, and she immediately took a seat as gestured by her brother.
"Hmm, wow, that was fast. How did you do it, and what exactly did you find out?"
"Everything you need to know. I noticed that you hear been trying to understand the issue since. Well, the person who tried to kidnap you was a rogue. I have no idea why they wanted to kidnap you though, maybe because of the territory you crossed, or maybe because of what happened the last time–"
There was silence, but he proceeded to speak after a few seconds. "My advice to you, sis, is for you to lay low. I need you to stay safe, and keep yourself well."
Nodding, Asena agreed to whatever they said but she was still really confused. She knew what was going on. She knew there was something more to it, and for some reason, she felt that whatever Phil had told her was what was happening.
"What territory?" She wanted to know more about the territory because the moment Phil uttered it, she felt there was something illegal going on there. Besides, she knew how greedy he was, and he was well aware that Ray wouldn't give land to her so easily, not even when he loved her.
"Alright mom, I have heard what you both have to say, and I am okay with whatever it is you both have said."
With everything being understood, she stood up from the seat, and walked back to her room. She needed to speak to Phil, arrange another meeting with him. After all, she needed to know more at this point.
"Hello?" She greeted and once she heard his voice she smiled.
"I need to see you today. Is it okay if you come see me?" She asked, and noticed how excited he was.
"See you? You know I will…" he cheered. "When?" He asked, and immediately got a reply.
"Right now."
He hummed. "Well I have some schedules, but I'll clear them all. I have been dying to see you," he expressed, causing me to chuckle.
"Alright, see you then…"
It didn't take long before he arrived just as promised. He tried his best to ensure that everything was in place. Well, it didn't take long before it finally came through.
He came over, heading straight to the room with the chocolate he had gotten her in his hands.
"Phil!" She exclaimed, letting him in, but before she could express herself, he handed her the chocolate.
"I got you this," he expressed, and she smirked.
"Yeah, thank you so much. You have really done a lot for me. I understand that you have been trying to help me, but there's information I need from you."
His expression immediately changed, and he tried to compose himself. "What information?"
"You said you'll help me right?" he asked, making him nod thoughtfully.
"Yes…. I did, and I'm still willing to keep that promise…"
As soon as Asena heard that, she smirked. "Good…"
"Tell me more about the territory you spoke about when you came over the last time."
Immediately he heard that, he immediately started to feel a bit strange.
"No, I'm sorry I can't tell you about that, it's–"
"Alright then, you just failed the first test. I guess you never really…"
"I do, but–"
"Ray, or me?"
"Of course you. I wouldn't even–"
"Then why are you–" he wasn't even able to say anything more.
"Fine you win. You're right. He has a territory, and that's where he does some illegal things, but I don't know anything about it. The thing is… he's having a meeting, and even I am not allowed to attend."
I squinted my eyes. "Are you sure that's all you know?" she asked with raised brows, wanting to be sure about what he had said.
"Yes, that's all I promise you…" he said with a serious expression… She sighed, and then tried to wear a smile.
"Alright then. There's no need to worry, but I want to know more, so maybe you can keep me posted?" she slowly walked over to his place, and then she perked him in the cheek, making him smile. She had never seen him so happy before.
"Yes I certainly will," he expressed, but didn't stay along, excusing himself with the fact that he had a lot to do.
Well it was good, that would give her enough time to prepare, and head to Ray..she needed to go for that meeting, and she needed to know what he had been up to.
With that, she had a quick bath, making sure to look nice before she exited the room.
She grabbed her car keys, and her destination was to meet up with Ray.
It didn't take long before she arrived there, and even when he was stunned she was there, he stood excited to question her.
"Welcome…" He expressed, taking her to his room, and in order to make her feel at home, he offered her champagne, but she stood up.
"I'm here because I have been thinking a lot about why I can't marry you, and the main reason is I don't know anything about you or your business."
He frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Your businesses. I haven't followed you to any business meetings, and I don't–"
"Then I'll make arrangements. I will ensure you follow me for one business meeting, and that's a promise. Any day of your choice just pick, and I'll let you."
Just then, his phone rang, causing him to raise a finger to excuse himself before taking the call.
"Yeah, I'm aware, don't worry, we'll talk about it today. You should learn to hold on, you know? The meeting time isn't so far. Alright… we'll meet there."
I heard everything, and then smirked.
"Meeting? I want to come along..." she expressed, making him smile.
"No you can't. It's personal, and can also be–"
"You promised. You always keep your promises, and you always say you'll listen to me, so what happened?" she pestered, making him groan.
He pressed his lips, thinking about it. "Ugh, fine…" he finally agreed, making her exclaim happily. She moved towards him, and planted a kiss on his lips, but he didn't stop there, he wanted more, pressing against her breasts, and butt.
"Fuck, I want you, I need you…" he explaimed as he continued to forcefully kiss her against her will, but was slapped hard across the face.
"Don't you ever…" she warned, breathing hard. Her eyes flared at him and he pulled away, still feeling the impact of the slap. However, because he was at fault, he couldn't bring himself to hit her.
The awareness continued until it was time for the meeting. As promised, he took her there, asking her to remain in the car while he walked over to the middle.
She watched inside the car, waiting for the client to come out, and that was when she noticed. His build, his walking steps, and then the scar on his hands which couldn't be hidden by the suit.
He was the one who tried to kidnap her. Unable to contain herself, she pushed opened the door, charging towards them.
