3. An Unusual Task

All five of Alano's men were neatly lined up in his office wearing all black because that was the rule that Alano had given him. If they gather, get a call from him, or carry out their duties, they must wear all black.

They were Alano's confidants, they were athletic and muscular and had handsome faces. Moreover, they are people who are very obedient to Big Boss. That's why Alano thought they were the right people to take on the task this time because they could keep a secret. One of his five men is Rafael.

"I summoned all of you here because I have a very important task for you," said Alano, opening the conversation. The Italian-blooded man was sitting in his work chair while playing with a glass of wine.

"We are ready to accept the task," answered his men in unison.

"Okay, listen carefully. I will give you a task, which is to find a woman who is beautiful, sexy, poor, and has no family, but not a prostitute." Alano explained the tasks that his five subordinates had to do. They looked at each other because this was the first time Alano had given an assignment regarding women.

"If I may ask, what is that woman for, Big Boss?" asked Raphael.

"I will make the woman my wife, but only a marriage on a contract," Alano replied casually.

All his men were wide-eyed, they looked at each other. It seems that it is still a big mystery to them why a man like Alano would choose a contract marriage instead of a real marriage when he is the man all women want. They had never seen Alano close to any woman.

"But why do you have to have a contract marriage, Boss? Can't you get a girl like whatever you want? Why look for a woman who is poor and has no family?" asked Raphael again.

"Yes, Boss. What Rafael said is true," another confirmed.

"You know that I don't believe in women, I don't believe in love either. But my father insisted on getting me married and threatened to kill himself if I didn't. That's why I want to find a woman who is willing to marry but based on contracts and agreements," explained Alano.

"Then what is the reward for us if we manage to find a suitable woman for you?" asked Raphael again. Among all his men only Rafael is closest to Alano, Rafael is Alano's, right-hand man. That's why he dared to speak a lot because the rest of Alano's men were mostly silent out of fear.

"You guys take it easy, I will give a very big reward for anyone who manages to recommend the right woman for me, I will give you 50,000 $," explained Alano.

Everyone, there was stunned except for Alano, they didn't expect that the fee would be this big. Of course, anyone will be immediately tempted to do this mission. As befits a treasure, they were both enthusiastic and excited because this was such a rare opportunity, they had never been given an assignment with such a fantastic reward before.

"How? Can you guys?" asked Alan.

"Yeah, we can," they answered in unison.

"Great, then you guys may go. But first I just want to remind you that at midnight we will make a transaction with Mr. Bibble, he's the one who ordered 50 weapons from us, so prepare well everything. I don't want you to make the slightest mistake, because even a small mistake could get us caught by the police." Alano again warned his men to be careful.

However, the side business he runs is quite dangerous because it violates government regulations in Italy. But because Alano likes running a dark business like that, not only because the profit he gets is very large, for him his job is actually challenging and also exciting. Alano seems to have two different identities. So he doesn't want to stop running the dark business even though his wealth is already abundant.

Alano is always behind the scenes, his hands are clean because he doesn't do the dark business directly, he always orders his men. Most of his clients don't even know that Alano is the mastermind behind it all. Alano is only known as a CEO of a well-known company in Milan. However, it is undeniable that because of this illicit business, he has enemies who are his competitors in buying and selling illegal weapons.

"Okay, Big Boss. We will carry out all duties properly!"

"Okay, please, you can go," said Alano.

"Thank you, Big Boss."

Rafael and his friends came out of Alano's room, their minds full of faces of women they had known before, thinking about which woman might be suitable for Alano. Of course they will compete because they do not want to waste a golden opportunity like this.

Likewise, Rafael thinks of many women in his head because so far so many women have stopped in his life.

"Fellicia is beautiful, sexy, but she still has a family. Then Vanya is sweet, beautiful, but she is a whore. The women I know are almost all prostitutes, and most of them still have families, so who would I recommend to Big Boss?" along the way Rafael kept thinking about it, but nothing was right for him.

It didn't feel like Rafael had arrived at his apartment, his mind was too busy so Rafael just realized that he had arrived at his apartment.

"Hi dear. I'm home," said Raphael.

But there was no answer from Felicia, it seemed that the girl was still angry with Rafael because he had been left alone while he was still talking.

"Hey, Baby. I'm already home, why are you silent?" asked Rafael as he approached Felicia who was sitting watching tv at the time.

Rafael immediately hugged Felicia's waist and clung to her shoulder. Rafael knows that his girlfriend is in a bad mood with him.

"Hello dear. Do you want to dump me like this? Don't be mad anymore, honey. I'm sorry that I just left you like that, but you know that I got a call from Bigg Boss." Rafael tried to explain again as well as persuade Felicia not to be angry with him anymore. Don't forget Rafael also gave a sweet kiss on Felicia's forehead, cheeks and lips.

"If I kiss you, it means you can't be angry anymore. But if I look at you, you're prettier when you're angry like this," Rafael teased while looking at Felicia's face so closely that it made the girl feel embarrassed and finally couldn't hold back a smile anymore.

"Wow, especially when you smile like that you're even more beautiful," said Rafael, because he was excited to kiss Felicia's lips again.

"You can always make me happy and forget my anger," Felicia said while blushing.
