Chapter 160 One day and one night at sea
Ikana's father is a very flamboyant person.
When Waleed was rich, the luxury cars, yachts and villas never stopped.
This yacht was once named "Kingdom 5KR" by Waleed, and was one of the most luxurious yachts in the world at that time.
But in 1991, Ikana's father went bankrupt.
To pay off the debt and get back on its feet, the yacht had to be sold. When this yacht was in the hands of Ted Lena, it was a period of exceptional maturity for Ikana in her transition from innocent romance to rational reality.
In 1991, Ikana was less than ten years old.
When she had her best memories and happiest moments.
The father went bankrupt for the first time and sold some of the family's most valuable assets.
Then his biological mother divorced his father in his second year. The age just before puberty.
These two things allow Ikana to form her three perspectives and personality.
had a big impact.
Perhaps that's why his character is somewhat realistic and ambitious.
Thinking back, before that she was the happy daughter of a billionaire. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he has everything.
Then my father went bankrupt and my mother divorced.
No matter how normal a child is, after such a big change, his personality cannot change.
Furthermore, she is about 9 years old. It was a time that we remembered and would understand but did not yet understand. This makes this yacht, in Ikana's memory, very different.
At this moment, I confirmed that this ship was the one in my memory.
Ikana, who had arrived on the deck, looked in shock at the white hull and the beautiful and orderly buildings of the ship.
His eyes are a bit blurry.
She seemed to see herself as a young person spending a happy time with her parents on this yacht through time and space. Along with the yacht that carried her joy, she was sold.
After that, Ikana also grew up quickly.
This is how Ikana planned her future from a very young age.
When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I became a model and a presenter.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew across the sea. Ikana couldn't help but be physically clever, she turned around and couldn't help but fall into Abel's arms again.
"Thank you baby, thank you. Really, really, really thank you!"
Her voice was excited and Abel even heard a moan in her tone.
This stunned Abel.
He didn't know why Ikana had such a big reaction. He didn't even know that Ikana would feel differently about this yacht.
The reason why I bought this "Kingdom5KR".
The reason is that he later learned that the previous owner of the ship was Ted Lena.
I think of the yacht Ted Lener sold when he ran out of money.
I bought it so Ikana can use it. Perhaps this will earn Ikana more respect from her father.
This might make Ikana happy.
Ikana was so happy that he had requests that he couldn't ask of her.
can also be satisfied.
This way he can be happy too. Furthermore, he always has someone to help.
For this yacht, Ikana, like Anne, only has unlimited usage rights.
The assets are still controlled by him one way or another.
Unexpectedly, Ikana saw this yacht.
The reaction will be huge. "What is the problem?"
He gently hugged her fragrant and plump body with his left hand, gently caressed her charming back with one hand, and said while comforting her:
"Even if you don't like it, there's no need to react like that. I thought you'd be happy to see it."
Ikana raised her face from her shoulder.
We see that his eye sockets are indeed a bit red.
But this young girl with strong self-control was able to control her emotions in such a short time.
She smiled with red eyes:
"I'm so happy, I like this just because I like it!"
"Oh~"
Abel laughed when he saw that she wasn't lying. "Let's go, see what it looks like inside. It's cold outside. Going to the beach in New York in winter is really not a wise choice."
Ikana nodded, obediently held her hand and entered the cabin.
"Waleed said he bought this Waleed for 20 million dollars from your father."
Enter the bridge corridor and enter the forward cabin. The yacht's warm heater made them feel comfortably warm in their bodies, which were a bit cold from the sea breeze.
Abel walked in curiously and said:
"Later, Waleed said he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on renovations."
"As soon as I got it last night, I sent it off to be painted and had your name on it."
"I didn't even go see it myself."
Ikana's beautiful eyes, like Abel's, looked at everything she saw.
She nodded slightly and said:
"From the outside it looks like this yacht. But inside it was not the same as in my father's hand.
This yacht has five floors of deck buildings.
The area decreases as you go up. The fifth floor of the top floor only has a viewing deck of about ten square meters and a large bathtub of several square meters.
The entire 4th floor is the main bedroom of the yacht, which has the best view on the yacht.
The 3rd and 2nd floors are rooms, part of the first floor is also reserved for rooms.
Most of the remaining area on the first floor is reserved for entertainment venues and public places.
For example, an outdoor public swimming pool with a helipad behind it. Below the buildings of this bridge is the yacht's hull.
This space, excluding the accommodation of the crew and sailors.
There are also entertainment facilities as well as onboard storage, yacht engine servers and other amenities.
Abel didn't know what it looked like in Ted Lener's hands.
But after Prince Walid reformed, he saw everything at that time, he only felt that everything was glorious. The aesthetic style is typical of local tyrants in the desert.
All types of entertainment facilities such as theaters, swimming pools, nightclubs... necessary for luxury yachts are also available on the yacht.
Kingdom5KR, translated into Chinese, actually means the name of the Kingdom.
Its hull length is 288 feet, or more than 87 meters if converted to meters.
One such yacht, in 2000, became the largest group of private luxury yachts. Otherwise, he is not worthy of Waleed, the stock market god of the Middle East.
It's just that now Prince Walid, after listening to Abel, is ready to order a larger and more luxurious yacht.
The royal ship became a less important toy.
To make friends with Abel, he even wanted to send it directly to Abel.
It was because Abel didn't want to receive such a big favor for nothing, so he refused at that time. Later, he discovered that it was Ted Lener's favorite yacht, so he wanted to buy it back to please Ikana.
If this ship is a hull, the current market price is only about 15 million USD.
But the most valuable part of a luxury yacht is the decoration, modifications, and decorations.
Walid spent nearly $130 million to modify the ship.
Including the purchase cost, Waleed spent nearly 150 million USD on this ship. This amount does not include daily maintenance costs, there are also miscellaneous costs such as crew and captain salaries.
From 1991 to present, Abel conservatively estimates that Prince Walid has spent at least $160 million there.
Abel originally planned to buy it at cost, but Waleed did not want to do so.
The final compromise was reached at Prince Walid's urging.
Abel took advantage and sold one of the most luxurious yachts in the world to Abel for $80 million. It is said that at that time the two called to discuss the scene, if anyone else saw it.
This must be very speechless.
During the negotiation process between these two people.
One person wants to buy more expensive, the other wants to sell cheaper.
Such a deal. This will only appear in people like the desert leader and Abel who are not short of money.
The king's numbers were so great, Abel and Ikana only got a rough look.
It took them nearly forty minutes to reach the observation deck on the fifth floor of the bridge building.
"How's it going Ikana, how is it different from the ship you remember from the past?"
On the observatory, Abel smiled while blowing the cold sea breeze.
"Except for the hull." Ikana said:
"Nothing else is the same. Even this observation platform did not exist before. Looks like this was added later. »
"I noticed the decorations, they were all gold"
This made Ikana a bit stunned.
There are many gold ornaments and statues, regardless of their artistic value and manufacturing cost.
If the prize was just gold, she figured it would be worth at least seven or eight million US dollars.
Not to mention the gold-plated lines all over the ship, everywhere exudes a luxurious aura. Ikana thought.
If my father comes.
I have to love the decor on this boat!
"Yes. But it's too cold here. Let's go down." Abel nodded. "GOOD."
The height of this observatory is at least about 30 meters above the water.
At a height of more than ten floors, there is wind at sea.
The temperature at this time is estimated to be around 0 degrees.
It's naturally cold here.
The two went to the master bedroom on the 4th floor, which is also the most luxurious and spacious bedroom on the yacht. This room.
The internal area alone should be about 200 square meters.
You should know that it's on a yacht and the 200 square meter room is already ridiculously large.
"Because time is running out." Abel said:
"I just asked my butler, David Jones, to replace the daily toiletries, blankets and other items on this floor. Everything else remains the same."
"Ikana, wait until you're free. You can design or change the layout of the ship yourself.
» Abel said smiling.
Ikana smiled and nodded.
Prince Walid's renovation costs were very high and the house was also beautifully decorated.
But Honesty.
Ikana doesn't like this style very much. She feels her father may have loved her very much and even fell in love with her at first sight.
In her own words, she felt it did not suit her own style and aesthetic.
Although it is also very beautiful.
"Okay~" Abel smiled and walked towards Ikana, gently hugging her.
"Can you go to the beach with me now? Look, the weather outside looks like it's going to snow later.
"Going on a cruise when it's snowing." Pretty amazing to think about, right? »
Ikana, who was held in his arms, felt the masculinity of his body.
It was a special smell, neither the smell of sweat nor the smell of strange perfume.
makes her attractive.
She didn't know that it was actually an expression of mutual attraction between both parties' hormones. She glanced at someone's tent, interested, and said gracefully:
"Is it really just going to the beach? Don't you do anything else?"
The look on his face made Abel unable to control himself.
Abel let go of Ikana, went to the head of the bed and pressed the button.
The microphone next to the button will then ring.
"OWNER?"
That was Edward's voice. At that time, the captain of the bodyguard team was in the captain's room, where the yacht was being inspected.
In the captain's room were also the captain and first mate of the yacht as well as two other bodyguards.
"It's me. Edward, let the captain go. We're not going anywhere, just taking a walk along the New York coast."
"airy."
In the captain's room. Edward turned to the captain and said: "Please, Mr. Gerald, let's go."
The old captain, who had been driving yachts for rich people for more than ten years, smiled and nodded and gave the order to leave.
About Edward and another bodyguard not leaving the captain's cabin after the ship left.
The factory manager, Jaled, was also used to it.
Rich people always have extremely high security requirements.
Even on a private yacht, they worry that the captain will take them to a dangerous place. Having bodyguards in the captain's cabin guard, that is also the intended meaning.
Former king and now Ikana's main room.
Abel finished explaining, turned around and looked at Ikana who was smiling at him.
Not long after contacting Edward, Ikana took off her beautiful, thin coat.
Turtleneck sweater with light purple trim inside, white socks inside. No pants, wear a pair of warm underwear over your socks.
Ikana looks simple and sexy with this look.
To match her already relatively dignified and elegant appearance.
It feels different from an intellectual family and a wife.
But under her slim and elegant neck, there was a large pear that didn't look good. The shape and temperament add a sense of conflict.
That at this moment she had a fatal attraction to Abel.
He walked over, smiled and hugged her.
Exactly at the moment Abel closed the bedroom curtains.
Through the curtained window, on the New York water, a small drizzle of snow began to fall. Outside the house, the wind is cold, the snow is cold, the sea is cold.
The house is warm like spring and like fire.
It will definitely be a fiery trip to the beach in winter.
For Ikana, it will also be the suffering of happiness, a long and short day and night.
The next day is November 15. Cloudy.
Pier 15, South Street Seaport, Manhattan, New York.
The Ikana cruise ship floats at sea for one day and one night, slowly docking at noon.
On the yacht, the master bedroom is located in a bathroom of more than 30 square meters.
Abel helplessly looked into the mirror and saw thick hickeys on his neck. This Ikana was definitely intentional.
Knowing that today I will have an important reception.
Last night when I was drunk.
In fact, he grew a lot of strawberries on his neck.
He knew that was still just Ikana's petty thoughts. But what can he do?
Of course, I can only choose to forgive him.
There is no point in taking revenge without forgiveness.
Ikana, who went to the beach with him for a whole day and night, was probably having trouble moving her fingers right now.
I always sleep outside. Abel doesn't even know if he can attend Smith Capital's year-end reception tonight.
Initially, Abel invited her to go with his father.
He had to send a high-collared shirt to try to hide the strawberry print below his neck.
There is no way to resolve the above point.
Luckily, he has thick skin so it's okay if he's seen. After changing his clothes, he walked out of the bathroom.
Walking towards the big soft Simmons, Abel glanced at the sleeping Ikana.
"Ikana, Ikana, Ikana?" He whispered several times.
"I'm about to go ashore. First I need to go to the Smith Building and make some preparations. With the way you look, can you still go to the evening reception?
Ikana didn't answer at first but after calling several times.
She finally opened her eyes and whispered, "Wooooooh. So tired, you bastard. I'm leaving tonight."
"But that's what you look like."
"I can!"
"Okay. Shall we get off the train now?"
"No, I still have to rest. Let me sleep until afternoon.
"Don't try too hard, Ikana. If you're tired, rest."
"I do not force." She muttered stubbornly:
"I'll call later and ask my assistant to bring me some clothes, cosmetics and jewelry. Leave me alone. If I really can't do it at night, I can't do anything."
"Alright." Abel smiled and bowed his head to kiss her.
Ikana unconsciously avoided him. "I haven't even rinsed my mouth or brushed my teeth yet and you still smell like... morning!"
Correct!
Abel almost forgot this. He immediately avoided Ikana's lips and just kissed her forehead.
Bastard! Isn't it true that even though there is a taste, to show that you like me, you still kiss me? He's really an asshole. Ikana was a little depressed and a little angry. "Okay. Then you rest. I'll go first."
Ikana nodded helplessly.
Abel just left the room.
Ikana stayed tired and sleepy, her body exhausted and her throat a bit hoarse. This is partly the result of over-exercising and excessive screaming.
But right now his mood and spirit are extremely good.
I think such a ship would be 288 feet long and worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Look at all of New York.
No, this is an extremely luxurious yacht that few people in the world can own. From now on it will be yours.
If she weren't so tired that she couldn't move, she would like to stand up right now, look closely at Ikana, and carefully study the places that need to be changed according to her preferred style.
She doesn't know that.
This ship doesn't belong to you, you're just the user
As for Abel, he arrived in a good mood.
But instead of walking up, they flew straight onto the Ikana-equipped helicopter. Not including takeoff and landing times, he arrived at the Smith Building in less than ten minutes.
To his office he invited David Mellon and Merio, who had just taken half a day off yesterday.
"How are you? Did you have any problems with the party?"
Abel always attaches great importance to Smith Capital's first year-end reception.
This is an opportunity for him to show off his strength on Wall Street, and at the same time make them appreciate themselves more. David Mellon says:
"Invitations were sent to all guests, and they all received good responses. Most guests said they would attend in person."
After David finished speaking, the boss turned his attention to him.
He also quickly said:
"In terms of facilities, preparations have also been completed. Hilton Hotel has shown the most sincerity. Some of our staff have moved to this facility. »
Faced with these two people, he answered like this, his right hand man and his right hand man at Smith Capital.
Abel nodded with satisfaction:
"So, check out our performance tonight. It's going to be a stage show so we can go all over Wall Street!"
Abel was looking forward to it when the reception started or at midnight.
These guests, what will their reaction be?
Surely you will be shocked, right? Abel thought happily.
