Christian couldn't sleep that night. So, he rings for someone to bring him a drink or food. A butler came with a glass of milk instead of alcohol and some fortune biscuits. He watched as he bowed and put it on the table.
"Thank you." He said as he took the silver spoon and put it on the milk to stir it. Oddly, no one would serve fortune cookies in this house.
He took a cookie and broke it. There's a paper inside and he gently took it out as he clenched it and brought the cookies to his mouth. He chewed it carefully. It tastes familiar. Could it be Dmitri's cookies? He breaks another and takes out the paper and he makes sure that the camera won't see it. He relaxed and sipped on his milk.
He took the biggest one that seemed to be heavy. He put it on the table as he slid both of his hands in the pocket of his robe. He stared at the window for a while. He knew that they were watching. He walked around and organized a few things so he won't sleep on a full stomach. He took the remote control and went to the bed. He made sure that he wasn't too obvious as he lifted the blanket over his head.
He took out the purple light that the butler dropped on the floor. Then, he read the paper. It seemed to be a blank paper but he used a trick of science. He smiled at the first piece of paper that he read. Demi and Bea are safe and Demi is waiting for him.
Another piece of paper.
My son, you have to be strong. Remember what I taught you. Demi is waiting for you and we are waiting for you. -D
I know that you feel lonely but we need to end their evil ruling. The election in the Philippines is coming and they are up for the subjects.
I know that you missed Demi dearly, I will protect her and keep her away from people's eyes.
Christian sniffled. He's getting emotional with all of Dmitri's letters. He promised that he won't let him get killed. He promised that he'll be with Demi again and he is living for that promise. He took the big cookie and broke it. He took out a flat chip and a USB device.
All he had to do is to insert it on the main server. He has to find that main server and to find it, he needs Claus and he needs to manipulate them. Ilya wanted him to be the heir and it would take more months before he went back there. But he had to work harder and faster.
He ate the cookies and he slid the papers into his pocket. He slipped off from the bed and dusted it. He approached the chimney and stared at it. He tossed the paper to the flame and he turned back and left the room. He needed to walk at least.
Wearing his thick robe and slippers, he walked around the big house. Claus said that her mother purchased it in secret for him. He lived there for more than a year and there are changes. He can easily detect the changes since there are new cables and cameras around and so on. He passed by Ilya's room and a man is screaming, cursing.
"Deeper, bitch! Suck it deeper."
He rolled his eyes. He wondered how Andel gathered himself while listening to them f-king. Andel has been spying on Jacob and of course, they are clueless about it. He didn't want to listen to them and he walked around and around. He spotted a few things and even found the control room where a guy came out with a donut in his hand.
He ignored it and continued walking. Then, a guard came up to him.
"Sir, Boss said that you need to be in your room." A man grumbled.
"I am not a child and I can't sleep. I need to walk." He said and walked past him.
Everything might be in Jacob's room and he's sure of that.
<><><><>
Natalia roamed around the concrete yet old fashion type of rest house that he had. It's two stories and it's wide. It has a bar, a beautiful kitchen, a master bedroom, and three guest rooms, and another family guest room. There's also a television and a pool. The pool is covered so it won't get any dirt.
"When are we going to swim in the lake?" She asked.
"Tomorrow, but for now, we need to sleep." He winked. "Exercise in bed first before sleeping."
She laughed and took a few paper bags. He bought a lot of ingredients, enough stocks of foods. He hadn't bought toiletries since he had.
"Do you have a caretaker?"
"No," he said. "It's all technology operated, baby. I got to check it every day and clean it. We have a vacuum on every corner.�� He said.
She checked each side that had that air ventilator type. They also have this in the mansion but somehow, the maids need to vacuum every carpet every day.
"Wow, and our room?"
She took her bag and he took him and he took her upstairs for their room that has a beautiful view of the lake. They are somehow on the mountain top where it has a flat area and they have a beautiful garden and all. It was surrounded by trees but it was more few meters away from the house so just in case of the typhoon it won't fall on the roof or break the glasses.
"Wow." She roamed her eyes around the room. There's a balcony, a walk-in closet. Television, an odd camera stand. She faced him as she crossed her arms. "Have you brought any girl in here?" She asked.
"No." He said. "Mostly it's just my friends." He said as he took her bag from the floor. He takes it to the walk-in closet and he has clothes in there.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yeah," he took out the sex toys and put them in the drawer. "Are you jealous?"
"I'm jealous of the night you take Pamela to the club and I was there mourning for my dead heart." She said dramatically as she leaned on the cabinets. He smiled at her and reached her cheek.
"I'm sorry, baby." He kissed her nose. "How about I'll cook your favorite lasagna with whatever you want to add?"
"You are enough." She purred like a cat. She scratched his chest down to his sexy abdominal.
"Baby, I don't like cannibalism." He wrapped his arms around her and smacked her lips with his.
"I don't like it either." She tiptoed and licked his chin and laughed.
"That's not funny." He carried her out of the room, with her legs around her waist, and took her downstairs. "I prefer you lick me on my chest, abdominal, and down there." He whispered as he walked toward the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"But I was hurt when you weren't the one that you see when you wake up. I shouldn't let her in. Because I know that you'll wake up for me." She said with a sigh.
"Let's forget about it. I am here now and all yours. You can lick me anywhere you want." He grinned with a laugh. She giggled and hugged him like a koala.
He put her on the counter table and he took out the ingredients. She hopped down and turned on the television, then she helped him with it. She knew that he's a good cook but she wanted to serve him too. Although she wasn't wishing to be his wife, Natalia wanted to cook something with love for Ashton. Not because it's a responsibility of a woman. But because she loved him.
If she would live with Ashton for years, she would know him better although she already knew him well. His favorites, his likes, his dislikes, and the clothes he wears. He also likes Marvel. He got that Captain America body and handsome but he's a little darker than Captain America which is more manly and attractive.
She's been watching him cook with her elbows on the counter table, her hands scooped on both of her cheeks. She looks like a teenager watching her boyfriend doing something awesome in the kitchen.
"Natalia, if you keep watching me like that, I might not focus on my masterpiece."
"You are just looking yummy."
Ashton burst out into beautiful laughter that Natalia admired more.
"I know that you are really hungry and your cannibalism mood might enable. I'm your boyfriend. Don't eat me or attack me."
She giggled.
"I won't."
Ashton sat beside her after he put the lasagna in the oven. He adjusted the volume of the television and he frowned. The newscaster said that there will be low pressure in the area that there will be a typhoon soon and it is pointing to the area where they are.
"Oh, bad news," Ashton said.
"Are we leaving?" She asked with a pout.
"No, baby. It will be until next week. Besides, we are safe in here. We are on top of the mountain and we don't have to worry about a storm surge, but a landslide…"
"Well as long as I am with you, all is well." She wrapped her arms around his waist.
