THE TREAT
Minutes later, Jordan left the bathroom dripping wet with only a towel covering his lower part. Ana was busy admiring the things she had ordered. She was sure that she had gotten the right sizes, and she could not wait to see him dazzling in them. Her face was conjured up by the sight of Jordan, which her poor eyes could not handle. She stood up, looking at the door."Umh, here is the bill.” She handed him the bill without even looking in his direction.“Alright. I will make the payments while you take a shower.” He said this as he took the receipt for the bill from her.That is such a wise idea. Ana thought as she took off to the bathroom. “Sure.” She said this when she was at the bathroom door.“I am famished. So, don’t take long in there.” Jordan said, and Ana walked in.An hour later.Jordan and Ana rode back to the Hilton hotel, stinking of riches and dazzling in their new exorbitant attire. They tapped their feet down from the Ubber they had hired and made their way towards the

THE UNINVITED GUEST
Ana could have guessed even without looking that she had heard that voice from somewhere, but she had to turn around to confirm. Before she could even turn completely, a third person invited himself to their table and perched next to Ana. Jordan scanned the new face of the galling man. It did not seem so familiar, but he was certain that he had seen it somewhere. He just could not remember where. “What the hell are you doing here?” Ana screeched at the man, keeping her tone at bay and tossing her plate of food aside. The face of the man angered her like always, and she knew he was not there for anything good. “Is that the way to greet your betrothed, whom you disappeared without informing? I had to go through a lot of trouble to find you, you know.” Derric stated, glaring at Ana. Derrick loved Ana. Even though she had just been arranged for him, she had managed to steal his heart. But that was not the only reason he was there. De’Luka had reached an agreement with Derrick and his f

THE HOTEL SAGA
Derrick maintained mutism for a minute. He felt like he had spilled more than he should have. He did not want to reveal his real intentions for being there. Ana and Jordan were not supposed to get wind of the reasons behind his visit and what he wanted. He knew that messing something up would result in severe consequences that he could not bear—they would lose millions worth of investment, and Mr. De’Luka would chop his head off if he made things more difficult for him than they already were. And Ana? She would never forgive him. He did not want to imagine the messed-up situation of their plan. He stood to lose everything if he screwed up. He would even prefer failing to convince Ana and leaving with the secrets still safe with him rather than disclosing the truth. He could never risk that, even as the last ace up his sleeve to win Ana. “I am still waiting, Derrick! How has Jordan ruined my life?” Ana asked again. He shook his head. “I heard all about the saga at your family’s hotel

THE STATION CRASH
Jordan had no choice but to walk to the station again after a lot of serious deliberation. Contrary to his wishes, which he had made while on the way to the station in the company of Ana, the hotel manager, the culprit, Derrick, and four witnesses, Jordan ran into Officer Adamson yet again. The officer discharged a quirky smirk when he saw Jordan again. “Jordan Rivers! I have not been away from your trail for even a day, and you already missed me." The officer spoke, and then his eyes fell on the number of men with Jordan. His face dropped. The faces were so new to the officer. Derrick, who was groaning with agony, conjured a dense face as he looked at Jordan. "It seems like trouble is still following you, Jordan. Why did you beat up this one now?” Jordan maintained a cold demeanor but responded softly to the officer. “He attacked me first. I did this out of self-defense.” Jordan responded. Just then, rustles were heard, and they all turned to see the family of Derrick rushing in ha

UNBENT
“And just who do you think you are to file such claims on behalf of the bank?” Ana asked Diana. “As one of the shareholders, you dimwit!” Diana screeched. “You may have all the rights, Diana, but Ana and I were with Jordan. We are witnesses that he did not do what you are accusing him of. If he did steal, he would be behind bars by now, don’t you think?” Mr. Jonathan tried to speak some sense into Diana. She smirked. “And who would believe you, huh? You both are his friends, and I suppose you know how birds of a feather work. I would not be dumbfounded if you both were accomplices to all of his crimes.” Diana stated. Mr. Jonathan felt offended. Diana was patently insulting them to their faces. “If he stole anything or committed any offense, why is he, or rather, why are we still walking free?” Ana fought back. “How on earth would I know that, huh? Ooh, wait, I think I can guess. Maybe because this hotheaded man here beat the hell out of the bank manager just to silence him. Actua

QUESTIONING THE LADY
“So, what do we do now, Jordan?” Mr. Jonathan asked when they were left alone.“Call the bank manager and tell him not to disclose anything about me. He only needs to say that I did not do what that crazy woman is accusing me of.” Jordan said.“Okay. I will make a call to him right now. I will be back in a minute.” Mr. Jonathan spoke and left.Ana was left staring at Jordan with sympathy. She did not understand why the man had to go through so much. But she admired his bravery and thriving nature.Just then, Diana dragged herself to them. “I don’t know what kind of spell you have cast on the officer; he refused to put you behind bars.” She sneered. She had anticipated that the officer would put Jordan in the cell, but he did not do that. He, on the contrary, just left an officer to watch over Jordan as if he were someone important."Maybe it was the same spell that I cast on you that got you so obsessed with me. I left you already, but you are chasing after me every chance you get. Do

TABLES TURNED
“I advise you to have enough proof the next time you want to accuse someone, Miss Diana. I spoke to Mr. Patrick, the bank manager, and he denied Mr. Jordan Rivers causing any form of crime against the bank. His records are clean.” The officer said“But I saw him. I am sure he"“Miss Diana!” The officer cut her. “I suggest that you leave this place and come back with enough proof of what you are insinuating. We don’t work with empty words here.” The officer saidDiana kept quiet for a minute. She didn’t like how the tables were turning. She now seemed like the bad guy against the stainless Jordan Rivers, which riled her up. “I will definitely find that proof. The manager must be lying. There must be a mix-up somewhere. I will find out what it is, Jordan Rivers.” She screeched in defeat, holding her lover’s hand and turning around.“Good luck, but not so fast, Diana Motero!”

STRIKING A DEAL
Jordan went to the bank on the next working day, which was Monday, with confidence and resoluteness. Mr. Jonathan had managed to secure him an appointment with the bank manager. The same officers who had mocked him escorted him to the manager’s office. “Get in, Mr. Rivers. The manager has been expecting you.” One of the officers said once they reached the manager’s officeJordan did not bother replying to them. He had not forgotten how they had mocked him because of the coins. He walked to the manager’s office, where the manager was waiting for him. “Welcome, Mr. Rivers. Thank you for making time to see me.” Mr. Patrick spoke to Jordan, extending his hand for a handshake. “Please, have a seat.” He said when they had finished shaking hands.“So, Mr. Patrick, the last time I was here, you said that we could talk business? I am here to listen to your offer.” Jordan said as he crossed his legs on the swivel chair and sat like the real boss that he was at the moment.“Yes, but first, I wan

SMITTED BY THE MAN'S CHANGE
“I said, let me go!”The door flew open, and Diana budged in, fuming like a lioness in heat.“We are so sorry, sir! We tried to stop her, but...The manager raised his head. “It is alright. You all can go. I will handle her.” He said that, and the soldiers left. “Miss Diana Motero, this is so impolite and disrespectful of you to walk into my office like that.” The manager said when the door closed,Diana, for a minute, did not hear the manager. Her mind was engrossed for minutes, trying to sample the man before her. Her head was spinning, and her visual sense was failing her. “What the heck is this man doing here?” She screeched.“You mean, the man you wrongly accused of stealing without even verifying the information with us?” The manager asked, and then he added when Diana refused to even blink. “He is our new investor. Congratulations! You are the first to know about it, Miss Diana.” The manager spoke.An earsplitting, loud echo filled the entire room as Diana raptured with laughte

THE GIRL'S WORRY
“So, finally, we can have our date in peace. I hope nothing ruins this for us again.” Ana mumbled as she cut through her chicken and munched on it. They were seated at the Serena Hotel, surrounded by all the foreigners and the owners of the city—people whose bank accounts were afloat with money. And Jordan and Ana felt a sense of belonging to the rich circle. “Well, you chose this for yourself. Save yourself the heartbreak by raising your hopes high. As long as you are with Jordan Rivers, danger is roaming somewhere so close.” Jordan said as he chewed on his food. The food was the sweetest thing he had ever tasted. Ana stopped for a bit to reminisce about things. She was not getting tired of facing it all with Jordan. She was not penitent in her decision to choose that path. No! She just wished that everything could just be irenic. That they could live a life with no one chasing after them and wishing their downfall. That life where they would live loose, with freedom and peace Toge
