Kissing without permission

The black Mercedes Benz C-Class luxury car was already speeding through the streets away from the hustle and bustle of vehicular traffic. Because there are only trees on either side of the winding road. Indeed, the road to the right and left has steep ravines, it is a bit scary, but actually the natural scenery and clean air because it is far from the police, the smoke from vehicles, is much healthier.

Axel opened the car window and observed the view of the hills with towering trees, as well as the road uphill. Initially, he was not at all interested in the offer from his father who said he would build a luxury hotel in Bali. However, once he heard that his father's plan was to do Money Laundering, he changed his mind.

The most common purpose of Money Laundering he knows is to disguise the origin of money as if it came from legal activities. It could be said, money laundering aims to enrich oneself by trying to obscure the origin of money or assets obtained from unnatural or illegal means such as corruption, terrorism, robbery, human trafficking, drugs, illegal fishing, and so on.

There are at least three money laundering processes, namely placement, transfer (layering), and using assets (integration).

Placement, namely an effort to place funds generated by a criminal activity into the financial system, such as placing funds in a bank, financing a business that seems legitimate, such as providing credit or financing (turning cash into credit). Another example of a money laundering placement is buying valuable items of high value for personal gain.

Next, transfer or layering separates the proceeds of a crime from its source, namely the crime through several stages of financial transactions to hide or disguise the origin of the funds.

In this activity, there is a process of transferring funds from certain accounts or locations as a result of placement to another place through a series of complex transactions designed to disguise and eliminate traces of the source of funds.

Examples of this practice include transferring funds from one bank to another across regions or countries, and transferring money across national borders through a network of legitimate business activities or shell companies.

Third, namely integration or using assets, namely efforts to use assets that have appeared legitimate, whether to be enjoyed directly, invested in various forms of material and financial assets, used to finance legitimate business activities, or to refinance criminal activities.

He and his father chose the third way and did not really consider the results to be obtained, nor the costs involved. Because the main purpose is to disguise or eliminate the origin of money, so that the end result can be enjoyed or used safely. There are also various modes of money laundering, including loan back, c-chase, international trade transactions, acquisitions, certain investments, stock trading, deposit taking, and false identity modes.

However, Axel's main choices are acquisitions, investment by building hotels, stock trading and online gambling and casino businesses.

Axel has a dark business in New York. He plans to build a company in Bali and have people lead the company and be controlled by him behind the scenes. The proceeds of his illicit operations in New York were deposited in the name of a company in Indonesia.

Then the black company in New York bought shares from the company in Bali (by acquisition). In that way, the owner of the company in Indonesia has legal funds, because it has been leached through the proceeds of the sale of their shares in Indonesian companies. Of course he had found someone who would be the scapegoat for the company in Bali.

Axel sent a message to his father to rest at the hotel and gave orders to Daniel to find the man who would frame Zelyn and was an order from the woman's best friend. Of course he had known beforehand that the man was a man whose only job was to cheat for money and when he learned of his weaknesses, would be used for his footwear or accomplices.

Axel briefly looked at the figure of a woman who seemed to be closing her eyes. He saw sensual pink lips that seemed to be calling him to take a sip and crush it.

At first, he thought that he would let Zelyn be raped by the man and immediately kill him, but suddenly his plans changed and he wanted to enjoy the moment when the woman next to him surrendered to him.

"I've changed my mind now, Arzelyn Selena. I won't let any man enjoy you before me. I think virgin blood would be much more delicious. I'll be the first man to enter you and hear your screams when you feel pain and pleasure at the same time when we make love."

Satisfied muttered to himself in his heart and looked at the woman who was still closed with the sound of gasping for breath, like someone who suppresses anxiety when frightened.

"Looks like you're scared to death, Zelyn."

Actually, Zelyn had been feeling very uneasy thinking about all of Axel's words starting from predictions and also about wild animals. Moreover, there is absolutely no tenderness in his attitude or words. Not only that, she has always been afraid of heights and has made him break out in a cold sweat.

With his right hand she squeezed his clothes to try to calm himself, hoping that the fear she felt so deeply would disappear when she closed his eyes. As she was trying to find some peace, Axel's baritone voice mocked him, disturbing him greatly.

However, she didn't intend to open his eyes, nor make a sound in response to Axel's taunt. Because right now, his heart was beating really fast. I don't know why she's always been like this when she's in a high area. Initially, she had only observed the natural atmosphere which was still very clean to his right. However, as the road went uphill, his heart raced and a sense of dread filled his soul.

Axel squinted as Zelyn didn't respond at all and he could tell that she wasn't sleeping. When he felt strange seeing sweat dripping down the woman's forehead with a sharp nose and sensual lips, Axel brought his hand to touch Zelyn's forehead.

"Not hot, but why are you sweating this much? Open your eyes, Weird woman!"

Zelyn shook his head, still without opening his eyes. Due to the effect of fear, his hoarse voice began to escape his lips. "Please don't bother me, Mr. Axel. I beg you!"

Axel who was grinning when he suddenly had the idea to make his closed eyelids open.

"I know a way to open your eyes, Arzelyn Selena."

Zelyn, who still doesn't want to open her eyes because she has a traumatic experience with being in an altitude area, doesn't understand the ambiguous sentence of a man who has a distinctive perfume that spoils her sense of smell. The masculine scent was very memorized because she was always near the man.

"What ...."

Zen couldn't continue her words when she felt something land on her lips, soft and wet. Reflexively she immediately opened his eyelids and was very surprised when she looked into the sharp eyes of the man who had kissed him without permission.
