Because I Love You

Shin Tower.

Jack is in his deep thought. He was thinking about Riff and Ken. His two rivals.

"How's the party last night!". Trey ask.

Jack was so lost in his thoughts he didn't even noticed Trey is already inside his office.

"How do you capture a woman's heart?". His answer is in a different form, its a question.

Trey was stupefy. He don't understand why his cousin is asking him an absurd question.

"I only captured panties not hearts". And he gives him a roguish smile.

Jack gave him a cold glare. He wants to struck him with lightning right now. He don't really know how they become blood related, he is so perverted but then he remembered, his little wife called him a pervert last night and to top it all he agreed to do a role playing adventure.

'We really do share the same blood'. He thought.

"Seriously, is that really your question?". Trey can't believed his cousin is really asking him with such nonsense.

"If you liked that girl badly, give her everything that she wants". He gave Jack a shallow advice.

"She has everything". He answered lazily.

"Then, pampered her until she can't get enough of you". Trey simply said.

"Just like what the other billionaires do to her?". He said uninterested.

"Okay, I'm running out of options here, you're really in a tight situation now". Trey surrendered, all of his advice backfired.

Jack sigh. This is a huge problem and he needs an early solution.

.....

The Club House.

"Hey Ken, congratulations!..... I heard you won again". A lively voice echoed in the air.

"Ed Rancid, I think I should be the one congratulating you". Ken stands up and shake the man's hand. "I heard you won in a car exhibit".

"Well, I've met a good mechanic". He's wearing a winning smile.

"Introduced me, I want to meet him". He said with interest.

"Sure, no problem". And he grin meaningfully. "But the ace mechanic is a she, and she's awesome". Then he laughed.

Ken just shake his head. He have no time for other women his focus is only for Azalea.

The two agreed to meet at the afternoon and they head straight to the shop Ed Rancid is talking about.

Ken seems to have a confused looked on his face right now they are heading to West Fairland, its a rural urban area and its almost a waste land in the city.

They are entering the district when he noticed a lot of changes in the area. The road has been fixed and there's no garbage on the street. There are night lamps in every corner of the street and there's a lot of commercial to handmade stores in the area. It's like this district is miraculously change, but how and why is the question hanging in his mind.

They entered another street and at the end of it a small building of five floors towered them. They stopped at the entrance where they can see a mechanic shop.

A young man is walking straight to their directions as soon as they came out in Ed Rancid's car.

"Cori my man!". He offered his hand.

"Mr. Rancid, I'm glad you visit us, do you have another job for us?". Cori is shaking his hands.

"Actually it's more of a surprise than a job". And he wink at him.

"I want you to meet my good friend, Ken Mullen, three times grand prix champion". He said proudly.

Cori looked at Ken from head to toe and made a slight grin.

"I'll bet he won't beat my boss". His words has a hint of challenge.

"You sound pretty sure, young man. As far as I know he's the fastest man I've ever seen". He won't allow him to be little his famous friend.

"And my boss is the fastest woman, but you haven't seen it". Cori smiled mockingly.

Ken's attention is caught by their conversations, he's getting curious about his boss.

"Can I meet your boss?". He ask Cori directly.

"Sure, let's go". Cori walk ahead of them.

Ken and his friend just followed Cori inside the shop. He noticed its not a messy like the other shops that he saw.

They stop in front of a car with an open hood and they can't see who's the person working underneath.

"Hey Boss, Mr. Rancid visit us today, with his friend". He informed the person in there.

"Okay, just give me a sec.". A woman's voice replied.

Ken is scanning the whole shop and looking at the people who's still busy working they don't even bother to look at them. Suddenly he heard the hood of the car slams down. He turned around and froze.

Azalea is taking the thick cloth gloves off her hands after shutting the hood of the car. She's wearing a very soft Heather white sleeveless shirt that's hugging her body and a rip jeans that's showing her round hips and very small waist. Her hair is in a messy bun and some of the strands are cascading down to her almost pores less skin. The front part of her hair are white that look like it was dyed.

Azalea is busy tidying herself up when she took a glance at their guests. She was stunned to see who he was.

"Ken!?".She exclaimed in disbelief

"Hey, you work here?". He tried to calm himself, he didn't even understand what he's saying. Seeing her like this makes his heart skipped a beat.

"She don't work here, she owns this place". Cori answered for her.

Ed Rancid cough he felt being left out.

"So, you know each other". He wants to fish for information.

"She is Carlton Son elder sister". Ken answered for them.

"Oh". He already heard about the illegitimate miss of the Son he didn't know it was her.

"Yup, that was me". She already know what he was thinking.

"I'm not thinking about anything, I mean, you know". He don't even know how to explain himself.

"That's okay, by the way are you giving us another job?". She ask politely.

Ed Rancid's face is burning red with embarrassment. She's a very nice woman and he's thinking bad about her status.

"I think I should go now". He is scratching his head and he didn't even answered her question.

"Why?". Azalea ask him in surprise.

"I was really dropping Ken here, he said he wants to meet you, but I guess you already know each other". He explained to her.

He felt her disappointment when he told them he was leaving and It lift his spirit knowing she's not upset for some reason.

They didn't hold him back when Ed Rancid said he's also attending some other social function. Its a part of his job anyway.

"I'm glad Ed brought me here". Ken's eyes are glowing with delight.

"Why is that?". She don't understand what he means.

"Because now, I know where to find you". He's grinning.

"If you need me just call me". She simply said.

"But I want to know you".

"You can ask me if you want to know something about me". She said this looking to his eyes.

Ken is contemplating to ask her about her current situation. But he wants to know her true feelings about her being bind in a situation she have no control and did not choose.

"Do you want to be free from your marriage?". He ask her directly.

Azalea was frozen stiff after hearing his question. But she tried to calm herself. She thought about some people who could tell him about her secret marriage she will deal with them later.

"How did you know about my marriage?". She answered him with a question.

"I made my own research". He knows what she was thinking but he will save the people who grant him this information.

Azalea got confused. 'He is starting to sound weird'. She's giving herself a warning.

"Why are you digging information about me?". She is starting to get mad.

Ken noticed her mood is changing. She is getting angry and he knows why, he invade her privacy. But he has his reasons.

"Because I love you". He honestly told her one of his main reasons.
