chapter 20

I can't believed i was in the island of the goddess. He opened the convertible of his car.

And i welcomed the warm heat. Costner and the others followed us in a black SUV. As soon as

we left the airport, we were on the high way above the sea. I was in awe looking at the sea

under us and the clear sky above us, i felt like flying with his speed. My grinned was widened

like a stupid, and he chuckled looking at me.

I took a glance at the god next to me. He was so beautiful and powerful. Wearing a white shirt

with a couple of buttons opened and a black sunglasses. I held my breath to his perfection.

Why did i feel safe with him ? Why did i feel happy with him ? My day dreaming was disturbed as

he fasten his speed. And i laughed as the wind crashed my hair. He took my hand and put it on

his thigh holding me tight.

"You look beautiful when you laugh." He stared at me.

"Thank you for taking me here." I replied smiling.

He turned his gaze back on the road and accelerated his car faster. We were no longer on the

high way. He set a location on GPS and we passed the urban streets. We stopped at the lite

traffic, and realized people were looking at us. Of course, they must be looking at the car and

the greek god next to me. Our car moved slowly as the pedestrians crossing the road. I looked

out to the shops and the sidewalks. He kissed my knuckles as he patiently waiting for the

traffic.

We were back on the road, the urban streets soon changed into hills all around us. The road

was winding, i held out my hand to touch the wind. He slowed the speed, i guessed we were

closed. The entrance was quite far to the resort, we stopped at the lobby. A valet man opened

the car door for me and James. I stepped out of the car and soon greeted by the young

supervisor.

"Welcome to the Ayana Resort and Spa, Mr. & Mrs.Black. We have prepared your

accommodation."

"Very well, then. Shall we ?" James asked me and offered a hand.

I took it and we walked in hand in hand. The surrounding was so quite and peaceful. The resort

was so beautiful, and oh the breathtaking view. No wonder James chose this resort to stay. We

were leaded to the villa near the cliff. Once we were in, i was amazed by the inside of the villa. It

had two bedrooms and there was a bathroom that can be opened to the cliff view. I walked out

of the back french door and awed by the beauty of the view. It had a private infinity pool and a

private jacuzzi.

"You have a privilege of a private Yoga class tomorrow morning anda spa. Our spa is the best in

the world:" The supervisor said politely.

"Thank you." I thanked her and she handed me the keys.

strong arm circled my waist. I looked up to him.

"They have the best sunset view. Let's watch our first sunset in here. But i gotta go to check my

project first." He turned me.

I looked at my Omega De Ville Butterflies watch he gave me, it was 1 pm.

""ll be back at 5."

"of course, you should go." I smiled to him.

"Go get some rest, i'll get you at 5."

I nodded. He needed some rest too. He had a horse stamina, after a long flight and drive. He

still had the energy to work. I prepared his shirt and pants to change, he thanked me before

change and left. I sat on the bed sighing. I needed a shower. I stood and placed my jacket on the

chair. I took off my Dior white jumpsuit and hit the shower.

put on my night gown and slept peacefully. I woke up as the wind soothed my face. I looked at

the clock it was 4.30 pm. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to get ready. I wore a

black sundress that reached the floor, my back was bare, and tied up a black sandals. I walked

out of the villa and found Simon and Rick stood up immediately. I didn't know they were

guarding me outside the villa.

"Mr.Black will be here soon, Ma'am. He will be expecting you in the villa." Simon said.

"I know. But i'lljust meet him at the lounge." I smiled and walked to the outdoor lounge near

the pool.

It was so beautiful, James was right they had the best sunset view. The infinity pool pampered

the swimmers to enjoy the view. The sun will set in no time. I was sipping my juice when i saw

him, standing crossed the pool smiling at me. He had showered and changed into dark blue

shirt and white pants. I got up and walked towards him. He kissed my nape, i smiled to his

scent. It became my favorite. He pulled back and took my hand.

"Where are we going ?"

"To see the sunset of course."

He led me downstairs to the gate that has a long waiting line, my eyes widened to see the

queuing. But we didn't stand on the line, instead he led me to the front gate where there was a

receptionist standing.

"Mr.Black. Welcome, Sir. Please step carefully."

She opened the gate and soon we were ushered to get in the white box elevator. It ride us down

to the exclusive opened bar. Its name was Rock Bar, because it literally stood on a rock clif.A

young lady ushered us to our table, there was a sofa with a view straight to the ocean. He

ordered cocktails for me and beers for him. This guy sure can drink, i didn't know how much he

drank but no effect on him. The sunset started to set, it was so beautiful. The Last Time by Eric

Bennet was resonating in the bar.

"HOW was the construction ?" I asked.

"Had been taking care of. Ijust need to meet the local natives about the compensation and

conditions."

"Of course, people here seems really highly cultured. There must be some things you shouldn't

do."

He smiled. "Indeed, Miss Pearce. Why don't you come with me to the resort once i settled

everything's up:"

"i'd loved to."I replied. "But i don't want my presence in your business trip would be inconvenienced."

"I like your company. I want to take you with me wherever i go." He looked down to his glass.

"I thought you just wanted me.."I hesitated. "You know, in bed:"

"Hell knows i wanted you in my bed, Doll. But there is more to it, there is always more when it comes with you."

He leaned towards me and kissed me passionately. I gasped for an air. We decided to eat dinner

at our villa. We ate in silence outside, near the private pool. I hadn't touched my meal, i was lost

in my thoughts. How could i enjoyed this heaven while my father and Ryan worried about me ?

"Did he give it to you ?" He asked suddenly.

"Pardon me ?" I was confused with his question at first, until i found my left fingers lingered on

the charm bracelet Ryan gave me on my right hand.

"Oh this.."I bit my lip didn't know what to answer.

"You have to forget about him from now on, you're with me now." His tone made me alarmed.

"But i can't, i have a boyfriend." I protested.

"I know damn well about it."

He stood up angrily and stalked towards me. He took my hand and snatched the bracelet from

my hand before threw it off the cliff. I gasped in shock.

"Why did you do that ?" I cried.

"You're mine. You will forget about him or either way i would kill him if i have to. So help me

god, do me a favor." He grabbed my arms.

"I hate you." I whispered but he clearly heard it.

"'No, you don't. You just think that you hate me." He hissed.

I looked away, it was useless to argue with him. I started to walk away but he grabbed my arm.

"Don't you turn your back on me, young lady" He glared at me.

"i'm just tired, please let me sleep:" I can't helped the tears that streamed down my cheeks.

He hesitated a moment but let me go. I made my way to the second bedroom. I cried my self

sleeping. I was still sobbing when i felt strong arms lifted me and carried me.

There is no way in hell you sleep separate room from me." He whispered.
