ch 18 (Xerxes pov)

She moved her body back and forth, moans leaving her body like a musical note. Her breast bouncing up and down. I wrapped my hand around her throat and oh did her facial expression change from an angel to a demon.

*Alarm* I woke up bricked up from what seemed like a reality. Damn how does she manage to get into my dreams?

Even with the cold water running down my body I can't seem to get it down. I've never had her before but my body wants her. How can I crave someone who I never had before?Maybe that's the whole idea.

I've never once kissed her juicy lips. Never even held hands with her, or even had deep conversations with her. On the plane we didn't speak much and I'm trying to be mysterious. I am not a man of much words. My actions speak for my mind but with her, with her its like my mind becomes blank.

With her I want to speak whatever dumb topic I have at the moment. Yes I should hate her, I should dislike her, I should hope the worst for her and deep down I do. Deep down I don't know why I care.

Deep down I question my own feels. I've been trying to keep my distance but it's as if God keeps bringing us closer.

"Ceo Deimos good morning"

"Ceo Ling, are you ready?" She smiled at me nodding her head.

In the car I noticed her shaking hands. Is she nervous? Is this her first huge meeting? God she came all the way here unprepared, then how was she even planning to....Don't tell me she was planning to seduce them.

If she does, then every bad thought I had of her are true. She uses her body to get her way.

"Ceo Deimos, so nice to see you again. And you must be Ceo Ling"

"It's nice meeting you" she replied back smiling at a stranger she just met.

"Let us order-"

"Forgive me but I would like to get straight to it"

"Ah you're a women of buisness I see. Then please why should I-"

"OH I don't need you or any Ceo of France, no. They need me. You need me" she said with all the authority. The women who was shaking in the car was no longer in front of me.

The women in front of me is different. It's like she was taken over by a demon. Her tone was firm, holding power in her hand. Mr. Cartier was taken at back by her response. Clearly he wasn't expecting for her to speak in such way.

"Haha. Well then Ceo Ling how is it that we need of you?"

"You know at least six Ceos who have power but none like me. You know seven lawyers three of them work with gang members. You know of two doctors, hospitals who are willing to cover medical care for you. You are in debt or should I say debts for the last three years. Your wife left you for another man or for you it's your brother.."

"Okay enough! I don't know how you know all this but-"

"But this is what you'll do. I am interested in buying a few hotels and you'll make it happen for me. Now, I don't want huge hotels. I'll take almost anything."

"And how do you expect me to do that? You said it yourself I am in debt"

Esmeray walked towards the man looked down at him locking eyes . With her left hand on his shoulder she stood behind him, leaning close to his ear. Her right hand slowly going down at his manhood all while making deep eye contact with me.

Lucky bastard.

"I'll make your debts go away. You'll be my right hand from now on. I'll give you what you crave most....whatever that is" she stood up, took her purse and walked away.

That's all it took for the man to break into a sweat. I followed behind her getting into the car. And it's like she was back to that nervous state from earlier.

"Ceo Ling what is it that you want with these hotels?"

"I am being blamed for murder, I'll confess to you that I am glad he's dead but that wasn't me. I would have tortured him, first"

"...Not once did I believe you did it. But someone is dead indeed and you're the last person to have a bad experience with him."

"Ha,ha, hahaha who doesn't have a bad experience with me? After all I am the devils spawn" she said with a grin on her face. Something about that grin of hers makes me want to wipe it off and-

Arriving back at the hotel I was expecting to take the earliest flight to the states instead she offered me to stay with her. She, that prideful arrogant women offered me to stay with her for a few more days?

Is she playing games?

Is she trying to teach me a lesson?

Is she trying to increase her chances of getting blamed for murder?

Surely she must not be right in the head. Who am I to speak? I agreed to stay. Why? Why did I say yes?

Xerxes you're such an idiot. You hate her for all she's done so why the fuck are you infatuated with her? Why involve yourself with her? She's everything you stand against.

I scolded myself taking shot after shot of whiskey. Trying to distract my mind I began working on the case.

Dude really? You just....*sigh* stop caring so damn much. She can handle everything on her own. She proved it to you today.

DAMN IT. Forget get it I'll do this one thing for her because if she goes down I go down. My life is in her hands from now on.

And my buisness is something I pride myself with. *Ding* I got an email from my assistant.

It's a file..the locked file regarding Esmeray.

I began to read it and my heart sunked...she was a victim.
