CHAPTER 11
Monica could not believe her ears. Did her boss just ask her out on a date?"Your...your...date?" She stammered."Yes," Chris nodded. "I want you to be with me as my date.""I don't think that would be possible, Master - I mean, Chris," She said. "I'm working for you and it's against protocols. If your father finds out, he would kill me.""I'm your boss now, and not my father," Chris retorted stubbornly. "And now, you would do what I say."Monica's face was white and Chris knew that the poor lady was terrified. What he was asking her to do went beyond the boundaries of her job. He knew that he had to calm her down."Trust me, you have nothing to worry about," Chris continued. "All you're going to be doing is an act. Nothing more.""Just an act?" She asked."Yes," Chris smiled. "Like you're doing now. You said you can protect me right? But you're dressed like a princess getting ready for a ball."Monica blushed and Chris continued."I want you to help me get revenge on some people that

CHAPTER 12
All through the night, Chris Bolton couldn't get as much as thirty minutes of sleep. A barrage of thoughts ran through his head. He was excited about the trip and his bet with Arthur, but his newly found discovery about Monica made him a bit worried. What if problems rose up between them? As early as 5 am that morning, he was up already. He had his bath quickly and dressed up in a casual white polo and blue jeans. He wanted to look as simple as possible and try not to draw attention to himself. Chris waited until it was 7 before boarding a taxi to take him to the airport. When he got there, he was shocked to see that Monica was already there waiting for him. Chris swallowed hard as he glanced across at her. She looked stunning as usual - this time on a red knee length gown with a slit that showed off her lustrous laps. Her hair fell in ringlets across her shoulders, adding to her alluring beauty."Good morning, Master Chris," Monica said with a slight bow.Chris wanted to remind her

CHAPTER 13
After a quick bath in the hot tub, Monica strolled into the room. She was on a robe that covered all her body now, just like Chris had instructed and she held a laptop in her left hand."So what did you find on Arthur?" Chris asked."A lot," Monica replied, without even bothering to raise her head. "First of, he's killed a man before."Chris stopped dead in my tracks and stared at her."Is this a joke?""Not at all," Monica muttered like it was a normal thing. "Some years ago, Arthur McDoyle was charged to a local high court on the charges of second degree murder.""And how the hell is he walking a free man now?" Chris growled."Influence," Monica muttered. "There are very little things that money cannot do in this city, and as one of your father's right hand men's son, he has the influence he needs."Chris nodded slowly as he considered what this meant. Arthur was far dangerous than he thought he was, and thus, he had to be very careful with him."Is that all you've got on him?" Chris

CHAPTER 14
Chris called for a waiter as soon as they had settled down and they all placed their orders. While they waited for him to return with their food, Mabel decided to start up a conversation."So Chris," Mabel started with a smile. "You say this is your new woman?""Of course," Chris nodded, entwining his hands in Monica's. "Met her a few weeks ago and we started talking then."He said that last part on purpose to spite Mabel, and make her realize that even when they had been married, he was already seeing another woman.It worked like magic as Mabel's face went bright red with embarrassment immediately."You were seeing her when we were married?" Mabel queried."We were just friends then," Chris shrugged. "But after our divorce, I put out a call to her. Turns out she liked me more than I thought and here we are now."Mabel scoffed and locked gazes with Monica for a while."So how did you meet him?" Mabel queried."We met at a local restaurant," Monica said. "I had just lost my card and h

CHAPTER 15
The whole table went silent at Arthur's unexpected reaction and it was Mabel who spoke up first."Bet?" She asked, her brows creased at him. "What bet are you talking about?""Shit!" Arthur cursed in his head. He knew that he couldn't tell Mabel about the bet, as that would mean he is the loser automatically. Chris watched on, with a wide grin on his face. He really wanted to see how Arthur would get himself out of the mess. "I placed a bet on some hockey games," Arthur replied with a dismissive wave of his hand. "And no one is leaving this vacation until I win. I want us to celebrate it together."Mabel frowned at his explanation, but before she could say anymore, Chris started clapping."Bravo, Arthur," Chris said with a low chuckle. "Bravo."The pair glared hard at each other for a while before Chris continued."No one is leaving here until the bet is over," Chris added. "I can assure you of that.""Of course," Arthur smiled. "A bet I would very well win."Mabel watched on in con

Mabel pushed the door open slowly and peeped inside. The sight of Chris and Monica together in a jacuzzi greeted her and she was immediately shocked to the bone."Was Monica the secret business partner or what?" She muttered to herself.Chris watched as she stared on in confusion and he cleared his throat."Anything the matter, Mabel?" Chris asked. "As you can see, we're busy here.""She can join us if she likes," Monica said and winked at Mabel."I'm not here to speak with you," Mabel grunted to Monica. "Excuse us.""She's not leaving here," Chris retorted. "What do you want?""We need to speak, Chris," Mabel replied. She was already desperate, seeing that her plan to catch him had failed."I trust Monica," Chris said. "Whatever you want to discuss with me, you can say it in her presence.""I'm begging you Chris," Mabel pleaded. "Consider what we once had and listen to me this once. I have something important to tell you."Chris could almost not believe his ears. How could Mabel of a

When Chris went back to his room, he found Monica lying on the bed. There was a piece of paper in her hand and she was smiling as she stared at it."From the maid?" Chris asked."Yeah," Monica nodded. "From the letter, she seemed really happy."She glanced up at Chris and continued."It's amazing how a little sum of money can mean that much to some people out there."Chris could only smile at Monica's remarks. A week ago, fifty thousand dollars would have been enough to change his life, but now, he had more than enough. He was happy though as he had been able to help the lady."She deserved it more than my ex wife," Chris replied with a shrug. "Certainly," Monica nodded. "Mabel doesn't deserve anything good."There was an uncomfortable silence between them for a while before Monica broke it finally. "And I know this doesn't count for anything, but once again, I'm sorry," She said. "I'm sorry for not being able to tell your father the truth earlier.""We've gone through that already,

CHAPTER 18
The gala night came sooner than expected. Chris had been skeptical of the success of their plan at the event, but Monica had urged him to remain calm and trust her. According to her, she had got everything covered. Some minutes past 9pm, a few guests had started coming in. Chris had a representative wait at the door of the grand hall, to welcome all the guests while he watched as they smiled, shook hands and kissed each other's cheeks."The fake love," Chris thought to himself.He was disgusted by the sight of it - so many rich people gathered together for the sole purpose of giving a tenth of the wealth they had stolen from the masses back to the poor. To them, they were being very generous. To him however, they were nothing more than a bunch of thieves who wanted to cover up their evil deeds with a little generosity.Chris watched from the top floor as more people trooped in, and soon enough, he locked gazes with a man on an ink black suit. Everything about this man smelled like tr

CHAPTER 19
A rapturous cheer went up amongst the crowd as the aged man rose up from his seat at the high table. Chris stared at him from his vantage position at the top floor, wondering how long this man had been stealing from the poor masses."From a heart filled with generosity," Sir Jimmy croaked. "I would like to donate the grand sum of three hundred thousand dollars as a form of support for the victims in Palestine."Everyone clapped and cheered as soon as he was done and the MC walked up to him. They had a short discussion after which the MC held up a card in his hand."Please note that for tonight's donation, pledges are not allowed. Donations are made only in cash, cheque or card transfer."Everyone muttered in agreement and Arthur gasped in shock. The realization of what was going on slowly began to hit him. It was a charity event and the richest men in the country were there. He had been made the special guest of the event and would obviously be expected to donate an even larger sum o

CHAPTER 20
The crowd turned immediately in the direction of Chris and everyone struggled to get a good view of him. A series of murmurs went up amongst the crowd as they wondered who the handsome young man who could donate that much was. The MC turned to Chris and started towards him and the latter rose to his feet, elated. This was his chance to get the ultimate revenge, to disgrace the duo publicly, and he was going to revel in the moment. "Chris Bolton," The MC announced with a smile. "Let's once again give it up for Chris Bolton." Everyone clapped and cheered and Chris waited for the noise to die down before speaking again. "As a shareholder and close friend of Sir Arthur McDoyle, I would like to donate on his behalf," Chris started. The MC nodded and Chris continued. "However, I don't want the money refunded to me." A series of murmurs went up amongst the crowd again. Everyone was whispering about the handsome man who was doing the impossible. How could he be donating so much to chari
