He stared at his phone, a smile on his face as he stared at Daniel who was walking away from him. “We were never meant to be brothers Daniel and I’ll make sure I ruin you for being my brother. I didn’t win the challenge, I accept but then, I’m goin to win this, no matter what” he told himself with a smile as he ran his hands through his hair with a mischievous smile on his face. Apparently, an idea had come to mind.
He went back to the dining table as he ate and as he ate, he took out his phone and placed a call to someone. “Available today?” He asked as he continued to munch on his food while he stared at Daniel who walked out of the house with a smile on his face.
“Boss, you’ve never called me in so long. Why do you call today?” The person at the other end of the call asked and he rolled his eyes.
“Just answer the goddamn question, are you available today?”
He could hear the man at the other end of the call sigh softly before answering, “yes, I am available ”
Receiving this positive answer made him smile, this had just made his day. “Well then, I’ve got a job for you.” He said with a smile on his face as he had a sip of his juice.
.
Daniel chuckled as he finally raised his head from the system, he could no longer take it anymore. “Kathryn?” He called and she was doing her best to avoid him. “Haven’t I told you? There’s no need to be so ashamed of yourself ” he told her as he shut his system before walking to her and then raising her face slightly so she could look him in the eye and she had this glistening effect in her eyes and he could tell that it didn’t matter how hard he tried, she would still feel ashamed.
“I’m so thankful to you, Daniel. Had it being someone else in your shoe, I’m sure, I’m damn sure that they would have taken advantage of me, especially as we weren’t on good terms and I was so hungry for sex” she said as she slowly wiped her tears and he gave a slight smile before patting her hair, softly.
“Do I look like some other person to you?” He asked her and she shook her head like a little child who was just being advised.
“I’m so sorry, I was just so furious that you would go as far as try to hurt someone I….” Not wanting to remind herself of what had happened, she decided to keep shut but then, Daniel was already interested in the conversation.
“Hurt someone you what?” He asked her and she shook her head with a smile, she didn’t want to bring it up.
“Never mind,” she told him as she placed her palm on his cheek, caressing it slightly. “I just want you to trust me, nothing more” she told him. “Is that too much to ask?”
For a mafia like Daniel, it was too much to ask but then, when it came to Kathryn, he found it as something that was so little to be requested.
“It’s not.” He told her and she smiled.
“Friends again?” She asked as she extended her hair for a handshake and he took it.
“Friends ” he told her with a smile.
“But then, I can’t help but wonder, how were you able to save me?” She asked him and he smiled to himself.
FLASHBACK….
As Daniel carried Kathryn through the back door, his instincts told him someone was behind him but then, he knew that turning would only alarm the person so he decided to go on, just like that.
He had gotten to the car and placed Kathryn in it so he decided it was the best time to know who it was that was following him. Not raising any suspicion, he looked through the car’s rear view mirror and that was when he saw Louis, standing there and at that moment, he knew it was Louis who was responsible for this.
He had wanted to immediately go and give his brother the beating of his life but then, remembering the bet that they had, he decided otherwise. So Louis had done this, only to win a bet? He felt disgusted but then, he had to win it since Louis had decided to take things this seriously.
The moment they got into the room, Kathryn had continued to make moves on him and when he went closer to the door, he looked through the key hole and there, he saw Louis standing. He smirked to himself before going back to Kathryn.
“Daniel please” she muttered as she ran her hands through him, slowly placing her lips on his but then, he wouldn’t fall for this. He would make sure that she was alright.
He quickly poured a glass of water out and then poured it all over her.
“Aaaah” she let out a little scream and he stared at her, the way she had screamed would make someone think that they definitely just made out but he didn’t care.
He stared at her, hoping that the water would at least calm her nerves but it didn’t help as she quickly climbed on him again, pinning him to the wall as she helped him unbotten his shirt, placing kisses on it. He swallowed, it was taking all the self control in him not to devour her at the moment and that was when an idea came to mind.
“Won’t you prefer a bathroom type?” He asked her and she stopped for a moment as she stared at him.
“I don’t mind, anything is acceptable ” she told him and before she could say anything else, he carried her into the bathroom.
She had expected that the moment they got into the bathroom, they would start making out but he shocked her as he put the water in the tub on and to cold and before she knew it, he threw her in.
She screamed and as she tried to get out, he pressed her in even more and she struggled but then, he was determined to help her. Luckily, he was used to things like this so he knew exactly how to help her out.
After minutes of struggling, he finally noticed that she had calmed down and then he snapped his fingers at her. “Kathryn? Are you fine now?” He asked Kathryn who was already semi unconscious.
“I…I think so” she told him before losing final consciousness.
He heaved a sigh of relief, at least she was fine now.
.
She stared at him, admiring him. He had done so much for her.
He had made sure to not tell her about the Louis part but then, with what she he had told her, she felt pleased.
“Thank you” she said and he nodded.
.
As they walked to the car, they giggled and laughed out loud. They were still speaking when some reporters pulled up in front of them, mics and cameras in check and before they could even process what was happening, the reporter spoke.
“Mr Lopez, it has just being proven that yourself and your assistant are having an affair. Got anything to say about it?” He asked and Daniel and Kathryn turned to each other.
Didn’t these reporters have better things to do than always stalk them?
Bloody fools!
