Only When It's Beneficial
The Deal
The estrange lady smiled at Alia and ran her fingers through her silky straight black hair. She smirked and raised a brow knowingly
？？？
Wow! look at you. For a moment there, I thought you abandoned me. but here you are, and you made the right call as well. Very smart. You were brave after all the hesitations. I am proud of you.I think it will be best if we wait for the police to arrive here first before we head off to your home. They should be here any moment from now.
The estranged lady brought out her Jeep from the woods and parked it by the road. She opened the door for Alia with a smile while looking at her.
？？？
You can relax in my car while we wait, I know how stressed you are right now.
Alia nodded simply and entered the car. The estranged lady took off her leather jacket and covered Alia's body with it.
？？？
This should keep you warm.
The estranged lady was now wearing only a black sleeveless crop-top. She took out a small wine flask from her pocket and gulped down the content in one go as she looked ahead into the road and smiled
Alia couldn't see them, but it seemed like the lady heard the police cars coming even before they arrived because a few seconds after she said they were coming, the police 🚔 🚔🚔 cars came into view.
Alia Vale FMC
Wow! How did she know they were close by.
Alia watched in awe as the girl went to the police and reported everything that transpired before she came into the car. She buckled her seat belt and raised her gaze to Alia:
？？？
Alright, where are we going to?
？？？
Alia smiled as she pointed at the direction. She couldn't look away from the beautiful lady driving. She looked elegant and graceful, yet there was that hint of a bad girl aura surrounding her.
The scent she was wearing was gradually driving Alia crazy. It was just intoxicating and addictive. Alia gulps nervously, realizing that her behavior might be sending the wrong message.
Alia Vale FMC
So, what are you doing here at NOK States?
The lady smirked and glanced at Alia.
？？？
You know, one moment I was at the military camp at Finland Island, then the boss called me and said:
Raven, I want you back home to take over the family business. I wasn't happy about it, but I had to comply. So I returned home to Finland, and I was handling the business just fine.
Raven Crimson FL
Someone tried to dupe me by selling me a fake treasure museum online. Actually, I just don't get along with technology, and I almost fell for it, but then I realized that I needed to see what I was buying with my eyes. And that's how I realized it was all a scheme to cheat me. The man ran off to NOK States, so I followed him because I won't allow him to cheat someone else.
Raven smiled at Alia and stretched her hand to open the storage compartment in the car. Alia's eyes fluttered as she took in Raven's scent. She blushed hard after acting in a way she found unbelievable. Raven took out another wine flask from the storage compartment and handed it to Alia.
Raven Crimson FL
Open it for me, please
Alia opened it and handed it to Raven.
She subconsciously licked her lips while watching Raven.
After a while, she realized she was staring too much and hurriedly looked away.
Alia Vale FMC
You have such a nice name Raven
Raven smirks as she glances at Alia
Raven Crimson FL
Not as sweet as yours Alia
Alia blushed again. She was going crazy in her mind. Why was she easily affected by Raven's words, she wondered.
Alia Vale FMC
So, have you found the man who tried to cheat you?
Alia asked anxiously, trying to shift her attention from the intoxicating scent wafting into her nose. She looked away, trying to avoid anything about Raven that could make her act like a fool again
Raven Crimson FL
Not yet! I was close to doing that when the boss called and said I needed to get married to someone here before leaving. Coming from a royal lineage, I don't have much choice on such matters. Unions are made only when it's beneficial. It really sucks to be me. I wish I could escape this marriage, but I can't. Not when the boss is involved.
Raven smirks at the confused look on Alia's face. Alia was wondering who this boss man was that Raven kept talking about. Why does he have so much power over Raven? Who is he to control her like that?
Raven Crimson FL
By the way, the boss man is my grandfather
They both laughed hard. Alia's soft voice echoed in Raven's ears delightfully. Raven stared at Alia's soft features for a while before looking away.
Alia Vale FMC
*Smiles brightly* Why do you call him boss?
Raven Crimson FL
Well isn’t that obvious? He is literally the boss! He controls everyone in my family. And so, we call him the boss.
Alia Vale FMC
We are here. I live here with my parents and sister.
They arrived at Harp Estates, and Raven stopped the car right in front of the classic duplex
Raven dropped hurriedly and opened the door for Alia. As they both stood in front of each other, Raven held Alia's tender hand in hers, and taking it closer to her lips, she placed a soft kiss on it.
Alia blushed, yet again. she was taken that a young lady treated her,, so well like a gentleman would.
After that, Raven swiftly kissed her on the cheeks and stared into Alia's beautiful honey brown eyes.
Raven Crimson FL
The next time we meet, I hope we don't meet for your sake because I won't let go of you even if you begged me to... Take care, sweetheart...
Alia was puzzled by Raven's words, but she didn't read into it too much. She simply smiled at her and handed Raven the jacket she lent her.
Alia Vale FMC
Here is your Jacket.
Raven smiled with her eyes lost in Alia's eyes
Raven Crimson FL
No, keep it. So that you will always remember me.
Alia watched bewildered and speechless as the young lady drove off, leaving her with tons of butterfly fluttering in her stomach. Alia was intoxicated by the lady in every way. Even she could not tell how or why she was feeling the way she felt. All she knew was that she couldn't get Raven off her mind.
Alia smiled as she entered into the house. Taking slow steps she finally arrived at the front door. Only to be blown away in shock by the scene that lay before her eyes. The house was a mess. The furniture was scattered from one end to another. Rushing into the sitting room, she called out to her parents.
Alia Vale FMC
Mum! Dad! Where are you two, and what happened here? Why is the house a mess?
Shane rushes out of her bedroom with her husband and draws Alia into her embrace.
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
My sweet munchkin. I am sorry about the mess in the living room. Your dad and I had a pillow fight. Sometimes, we forget that we are still living with our two precious daughters.
Alia Vale FMC
Mum! Where is Aria? She left work earlier than me. She should have been home by now.
Shane pats her daughter's hair lovingly with a smile. Alia smiled brightly at her mother. No one pampers her as much as her mother does.
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
Don't worry about your sister. She went out for fresh air. She will be back soon. Now help me clear this place up.
She glances at her husband standing by the staircase and hurries to meet him. He was glaring at Alia furiously. Shane was just grateful that Alia didn't notice him. She grabs his hand and drags him to their bedroom.
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
What are you doing, Javier? Why were you staring at our daughter like she committed some kind of sin again?
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
I am disappointed in you, Javier. so much that it hurts. We made a deal for the sake of our business and our daughter with Ciel Crimson in the past, and you know this.
Javier Vale FMC's Father
*Slams his fist on the bed and furiously gets up* You made a deal, Shane. I remember clearly prohibiting you from meeting that devious man.
Javier Vale FMC's Father
Why should my daughter suffer for your mistakes?
Javier Vale FMC's Father
My baby Aria doesn't deserve all this. She is innocent.
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
None of our children deserve what is happening to our family right now.
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
*Closes her eyes and lets out a shaky breath as tears trail down her cheeks.* Since I gave birth to Alia, you have never really accepted her as your child, have you?
Javier Vale FMC's Father
That's because I don't think she is Mine
Shane Vale FMC's Mother
How can she not be yours? I have never cheated on you. So what are you saying?
