Under His Temptation
Ansel Balder has it all. Good looks, wealth, and position. People considered him a helpful and kind man, not knowing the scandals he kept from the world. Ansel Balder loves his own employee's wife. When Matthew Tjia offers Daphne Tjia, his daughter in exchange for paying off his debt, Ansel Balder agrees. Not to make her his wife, but to make Daphne Tjia as bait for fishing, Rachel Colleen the dark lover, to be jealous and willing to accept his proposal. Then, will Ansel Balder be caught in a trap he made himself?
Chapter 14
After finishing breakfast, Ansel Balder kept his promise to take Daphne Tjia to the beach. That man took off his top leaving behind his white ankle-length pants. Ansel Balder pointed at someone with blue eyes to stand face to face. Now, two shirtless men are facing each other in the middle of the human circle. Their eyes stared at each other warily. Both knees bent. One in front and another in back. Corda – dangling belts attached to pants specially for capoeiristas – they sway to the rhythm of the body. Twelve men around them formed a human fortress beating the atabaque – a tall Brazilian wooden drum – playing the berimbau gunga and berimbau berra-boi – a stringed instrument that is played by hitting the strings, not swiping – while singing a song in Portuguese. As if encouraging the two handsome men who were staring at each other, taking a stance.
