Dn gulped down hisst drink and dragged his drunk body out of the club. A car was already waiting for him by the time he stepped out. He had kept a routine, arrive around nine in the evening and leave at four in the morning. The same car had been picking him up and dropping him to his apartment.


    "Good morning, sir", his driver greeted him.


    He hummed in response and closed his eyes immediately he rxed in his seat. The car got a move on. The driver winded down the ss to let the fresh air in just as Dn wanted. The night view whizzed by, there were hardly any people walking around in those early morning hours.


    Dn enjoyed the fresh breeze caressing his features. It was quite sobering. He thought about his stay in Rome, his ns; it was all falling into ce. But he was curious to what Amy nned to do with all this. Even after telling him the little she knew, she didn''t disclose her ns. Either she didn''t have one or she was just being herself: mysterious.


    "We''re here, sir", the driver spoke. He got out and jogged to Dn''s side to get the door.


    "Same time tonight", Dn slurred as he grunted his way out of the car. He patted the driver on the shoulder before dragging his almost sleepy legs into the apartment building.


    He reached the ss doors for the building and punched in the code. The early morning air was quickly turning chilly. He shuffled himself in once the doors slid open. He dashed for the elevator that took him to his floor. The little tune ying in the elevator was a luby putting him to sleep. He shook his head fighting the urge to sleep.


    To his relief, the doors swung open and made his way to his room. He was grateful for the key card otherwise he knew how stupid he would look struggling to finding his keys and the keyhole. He chuckled at the thought, he had been there too many times. That was during his lowest moments in life and alcohol was his closestpanion.


    He pushed the door open once the key card unlocked it. The room was dark he could hardly make out anything. He raised his hand to turn on the lights when he froze.


    A sweet scent of citrus fruits. He knew the scent of the detergents the housekeepers used and that scent was not among them. Without switching on the lights, he looked around the room and walked on. His drunken step was gone and he perfectly found his liquor cab.


    "I''m a whiskey type of guy, how about you? I''m sure I have a little bit of everything here." Dn picked up a ss and filled it with the liquor not forgetting to put ice in it.


    A soft sigh was heard from behind him.


    "You''re careless", the person spoke.


    "And you''re fearless", Dn responded.


    "I''ll have the whiskey", the person responded.


    Dn was already pouring another ss when he heard the response. He chuckled as he turned around walking towards the person with two sses in hand. "I see you like it hard", his tone was full of amusement.


    The person blushed when they heard this and avoided his gaze even in the dimly lit room. Dn smirked when he saw this. He could not believe it was this easy to stir up the beautiful brte from the club. He didn''t care how she broke into his apartment, he wanted to know why. Although, he could guess. He gave her the ss and settled on a sofa opposite hers.


    "To what do I owe the pleasure?" He said after taking a sip. He stared at the person in amusement. Even when the room was dark, he could still make out the features of the beautiful brte from the club. She had huge breats, a slender waist and long legs thatplimented her hourss figure.


    "You''re attracted to women and danger. The two things that could get you killed", her tone was void of any warmth.


    "Shouldn''t you be telling that to Aldo?" His tone was casual but she could detect the danger in his tone. His eyes that never left hers gave her a knowing look.


    Her eyes widened. No one knew the club''s boss''s real name, they all knew him by his nickname, Sparrow. Only a few special individuals in high positions in their organization knew his information. For her, it took him months to tell her his name only because she was his betrothed and she was sworn to secrecy.


    Aldo liked women. Each week he brought in exotic ones into his many clubs for entertainment and of course, for his personal enjoyment. Aldo didn''t know she knew about thetter. It was her woman instincts and took a lot of money for her to find that out. Sometimes she thinks he let her found out to see what she would do. But that was not the issue at hand, how did this stranger obtain such information? Was there a mole in their organization? If Aldo found out about this, he would surely kill him and her, who decided to warn this stranger.


    Dnughed when he saw her shocked expression. "You worry too much my dear Esmeralda."


    "Who are you?" She tensed up when she heard him say her name.


    It was like he was caressing her heart with his mouth. That mouth. She saw how beautifully it stretched revealing a nice set of teeth as he smiled. What she would give to have that mouth-


    Dn ced his empty ss of liquor on the coffee table before taking hers. He slowly emptied the contents while his eyes took in her face, travelled down to her chest area where they paused. Esmeralda felt the urge to cover her shirt covered chest with her hands but she just sat there and let him stare. She watched his gaze move down to her crotch area where it lingered for what felt like an eternity. A tingly feeling caressed her down there and she crossed her legs squeezing her thighs in the process.


    Dn was pleased when he saw this. He put down her now empty ss and stood up. "I''d like to know if you thought for a second that I''d let you leave this ce?"


    "Excuse me?" Her voice came out as a whisper without intending to.


    Dn walked over and leaned forward causing her to subconsciously lean back into her seat. His eyes were locked on hers, she could feel his warmth breath fanning her face. The smell of liquor was highly intoxicating as she inhaled it. It was now she realized that her breathing had be erratic.


    "What are you doing?" She managed to strengthen her tone.


    "What am I doing? Doing what you''ve wanted me to do to you since the day Iy my eyes on you", his voice had turned huskier and was heavy with lust.


    Their chests were now touching. She started to wonder if he could hear the way her heart hammered against her chest. Her cheeks blushed red from their closeness. Dn had finally caged her on the sofa and his beautiful face was barely an inch away from hers.


    "What are you talking about?" She averted her gaze hoping he would not see through her especially since they were in the dark.


    So she was ying dumb, well that was about to change. Dn smiled, but his eyes were like that of a predator eyeing his prey. Without wasting a second, he moved in for the kill.
