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.

The frequency of their meetings was correlated to her physiological cycle. She had irregular menses before and began to take the pill to regulate it. Eventually, Travis figured out the weeks were convenient and often planned accordingly. This meant she usually enjoyed three weeks free of him.


Therefore, she equated him to a medicinal dose as long as he did not show up unannounced.


Arianna pulled into the nearest plaza and waited in her car with her arms folded across her chest. Without surprise, Travis’s black car pulled in only minutes after her.


She locked her car and got into the back seat of his. She played with her fingers while Travis read a file during the drive.


“What were you doing at the hospital?” Travis asked without warning, his eyes still looking at the file.


“I... I went to visit a friend.” Arianna made an excuse. She did not like having to explain herself to him.
