Night of Destiny

Tony wasn’t going to leave without getting anything.

“What do you want?” Zacharias knew his nephew wasn’t one to acquiesce that easily.

“I’m kinda tight on money lately.” Tony was delighted. I can get money from him now.

“How much do you want?” Zacharias narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Not much. Fifteen grand.” It’s not easy getting fifteen grand from him. Zacharias scoffed. “Fifteen hundred.”

“I’m not leaving, then. I’m going to stay here tonight. You’re not going to flirt with my goddess.” Tony opened the door and was about to get in. Zacharias relented. “Fine, I’ll do it.”

Tony pulled his hand back and turned back around with a smile. “Give me the money before you leave. I don’t want you breaking your promise.”

Zacharias took his phone out and gave Tony the money. Fifteen grand. Tony cursed himself. Man, that was quick. Maybe I should’ve asked for more. He could’ve given me 75 grand if I asked. Too late for regrets.

“Now leave,” snapped Zacharias. We can’t have this guy here ruining things for us.

Tony said, “Right away.” When he came back into the lounge, Shirley was having some water. He pretended he had to leave. “See you next time, my goddess. I have to go now. Urgent stuff.”

Zacharias shot Tony a sharp look. The guy took his car key and left, and then he was gone from the residence.

Shirley smiled, watching Zacharias turn the TV off. She didn’t ask him how he managed to chase Tony out. She pretended none of this had happened. “It’s still early. Do you want to work for a bit?” she asked.

Zacharias took the glass of water and gazed at Shirley. “Do you think I’m still in the mood to work tonight?”

Shirley felt electrified for a moment. Zacharias’ gaze was like fire, and she melted for him.

“My time is yours tonight.” Zacharias put the glass down and hugged Shirley. “Work’s important, but you’re more important.”

Shirley wrapped her arms around him. She missed him so much, and that hug squeezed out all her longing for him. She rubbed her cheeks against his chest. “Okay, then.”

“Let’s go upstairs.” Zacharias picked her up and carried her in his arms. Shirley giggled, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“I don’t want to tire you out. Put me down.”

Zacharias didn’t listen to her and took her upstairs instead. Shirley enjoyed his firm hold on her. She felt safe and secure in his arms. She thought he would at least put her down so she could have some rest, but he didn’t. Instead, he took her to the battlefield.

His bed.

Shirley’s heart started to race. She did miss him a lot, but this was too quick and straightforward. Shouldn’t we…

Shirley couldn’t think of anything else better to do with the time, and her cheeks burned. What’s going on with me? Why am I so lewd ever since meeting him? “I need to take a shower.” Shirley sat up.

Zacharias stopped halfway through, taking his suit off, and he smiled. “Sure. Go ahead.”

Shirley was about to go in, but Zacharias hugged her from behind. He unzipped her gown, revealing her beautiful back, and he kissed her shoulder. “Go.”

Shirley’s heart raced faster. Zacharias did a little favor for her, and she felt loved. Shirley went into the bathroom. Once the water started running, she couldn’t hear what was happening outside. She just wanted to have a serious shower. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Unbeknownst to her, a dangerous, ravenous silhouette was standing outside the bathroom, and then it opened the door.
