She took the sharp part of the knife to his first car, a grey BMW and pierced the two front tires. Repeating the same to the other car he owned, she flattened his tyres and threw the knife to the windshield of his Porsche. To her disappointed, the glass didn't shatter. She felt her blood boiling when she heard his voice coming from the main house.

"I need you to leave immediately," she said as she came up the stairs, taking him by surprise.

"Ari, listen to me," he tried but she wouldn't have it.

"You're just a white piece of trash."

"You'll regret this," he said as he turned and walked past her. She smirked when she knew where he was going and within seconds she heard him cursing loudly. She locked the door and made a phonecall to have the locks changed that evening.

The week flew by quicker than she could make coffee and it was already Wednesday. She was finishing off at work and locked up behind her, waving at the guard on duty. She took out her phone and sent a quick text.

Me: I hope you're ready.

She placed the phone aside and drove towards her home first to get changed. She got his address from Kanti because well, she seemed to know everything. Her phone beeped when she was driving towards his house.

Kaden: I can't wait for our date ;)

She giggled at that and got slightly nervous when she approached his house, double-checking with Kanti that she got the right address. She got out and walked up to the front of the house, ringing the doorbell.

She heard movement and keys jiggling before the door swung open, revealing a good looking Kaden. She swallowed the lump in her throat and tried her best to be cool.

"Whoa," he winked when he kissed her cheek. He took a quick scan of her and smirked at what she was wearing. She'd surpassed his imagination. She cleared her throat when she saw his eyes roaming over her body. His eyes met hers and she rolled her eyes but he didn't miss the smile on her face as she turned and walked to the car. He watched how she walked in front of him; every step she took defined who's in control.

She held the door open for him and gave him a teasing look as he groaned. "It's bad enough you're driving me, don't hold the door for me too."

"If you do it, why can't I?" She asked and he didn't have a smart answer so he just took her hand off and waited for her to go into the driver's seat before he got in and buckled up.

"It's my first time being chauffeured by a woman," he said and made her feel confident about herself because of the way he said 'woman'.

"I'll be sure to make the experience memorable," she joked, driving towards the robots.

She kept her eyes ahead of her as she sped past the red lights on the not so busy road and manoeuvred her way through the traffic. She switched into the left lane, overtook two transit trucks and was going for another, keeping her eyes on the cars coming in the opposite direction. When she was close enough, she made a sharp turn in front of the carrier truck and proceeded to go to the wine-and-dine bar she'd picked for the night.

All these while, Kaden had his hand rested on her thigh and would squeeze whenever she moved illegally, which was more than once.

"They should seriously confiscate your driving licence," he muttered as they stepped out.

"My driving is not that bad," she defended herself as they entered and walked hand in hand. She led him towards the stairs and onto the rooftop, taking a seat on the couch upstairs. She looked around and saw that there were a few couples on the rooftop as well, easing her nerves because she didn't trust herself alone with Kaden.

"Let's get one thing clear," he smiled and took her car keys from her hand. She was left holding her purse. "I'll be driving us back."

She almost said something if it wasn't for the young, bubbly waitress that approached them with a clipboard in hand. "What can I get you gorgeous couple tonight?"

At the mention of couple, Kaden's hand goes around Ari's waist and pulls her closer to him. Ari's hand goes on top of Kaden's around her waist and she traces his veins with her fingers; something she wanted to do from day one. "What do you want?"

"I'll have anything you have," he looked at her and she smiled up at him. The waitress just stood there smiling her life out as she adored the two. She wished she could experience the love they had.

"How about wine and dessert? You fine with that?"

"What kind of dessert?" He asked, not hiding the innuendo in his tone, making the waitress cover her mouth as she giggled.

"Why don't I look at the menu?" She asked the waitress to distract herself from Kaden. After a few minutes, the waitress came back with her order and left them alone again.

He couldn't take his eyes off of her and neither could she off of him the entire night. He made her feel confident and she made him feel complete.
