Arianna’s family was falling apart and facing a tragic demise, however, her heart sank when she clearly saw Travis Cooper’s name on the acquisition papers. She had no choice but to negotiate with him.
Arianna lowered her head and relaxed her shoulders to ease the tension. She should show him gratefulness to make him happier, she thought, but she just couldn’t do it.
“How would you be willing to leave my grandfather alone?”
He casually poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her before replying, “I think the correct person to ask is the judge, no? The offenders are usually punished. This is a matter of justice, isn’t it?”
Arianna was beginning to grow tired of his mood swings.
“He is old, and his body is failing him. He would not last long in prison.” Arianna continued to try to sway him.
“What can I do? I always admire devoted children.” His voice carried some ridicule, “But I’m not a charity. I only do transactions with interests. What would you do in exchange for the freedom of your grandfather?”
Travis intertwined the fingers of his one hand with the other and rested his hands on his stomach as he leaned back in his chair once more. His expression was a bit lazy, “Since you entered this door, I’ve been waiting for the drama of you selling your body and soul to me in order to save your family member.”
When Arianna didn’t reply, Travis explicitly said, “Maybe I’m just bored. I’d like to try something fun.”
Arianna’s stomach felt like it flipped. She looked at the handsome face that was now showing evil.

Arianna froze when she heard his name. The woman continued, “The man is hiding from me. Find him immediately and tell him I’m waiting here for him. Room 225. I won’t leave if he doesn’t show up.”


Arianna didn’t know how she got to the terrace. Her mind was not registering her surroundings. Nevertheless, she knew that the woman could easily speak about someone with the same name.


It was impossible for this to happen. But she couldn’t manage to slow down her heart rate.


After dialing her home phone number halfway, she canceled the call. She did not feel like she was fit to see people at the moment. She went back inside and poured herself a glass of ice water from the complimentary refreshment table in the lobby.


She drank it slowly. The more normal she seemed when she got home, the fewer questions would be asked.
