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.

She rolled her eyes. This was the last thing she wanted to do, but she knew they would bother her about it if she did not go. With a sigh, she replied to the text message and went and prepared herself a hot bath.


Arianna was so relaxed that she nearly fell asleep in the water. She lost track of time and had to rush to get ready. The restaurant they were going to was very high-end, so Arianna wore a look that she would usually save for Travis.


At the restaurant, Arianna had a salad and some sparkling water. She remained quiet as the women gushed about office gossip and their personal lives. These topics of conversation never interested Arianna.


She excused herself from making a phone call in the hallway, but she simply used this as a reason to leave the table and get some peace. However, it was the opposite of peace that found her in the hall.
