The Billionaire's Promise
Chapter 167: The Mafia Lord

Chapter 167: The Mafia Lord

Erik and Aryana woke early the following morning. They changed into their swimwear. Aryana put on her white coverall and followed Erik outside the villa.

They headed in the direction of a small restaurant just half a kilometer from their place. The restaurant was made from coconut logs. Even the roof was made from coconut. The chairs and tables were made from tree stumps giving the restaurant a unique ambiance.

Aryana ordered a light breakfast of sandwich and warm milk. Erik also had a sandwich. They did not stay long in the restaurant. They decided to take a stroll and walked towards the end of the shoreline.

"This island is like a paradise but I still like the beaches in our country." Aryana looked around her with delight.

"The sand in Paradise Island is whiter and feels softer when walking barefoot."

"Common, let’s try the water." Aryana took off her coverall and went to the shallow part of the water. She continued walking. She shuddered when the water reached up to her breast. It was cold.

Erik caught up with her and they started frolicking in the water.

In one of the yachts at a distance, two tattooed men were looking at the big screen watching the couple playing at the beach.

"The woman is kind of pretty. What do you think Alexander?" The man with raven long hair and grey eyes studied the woman on screen who get out of the water and went to the spot where she left her flip flops and coverall earlier. She was wearing a black one-piece swimsuit with a cut on both sides of the waist showing a small portion of white flesh making her look sexier.

"Aren’t you tired of beautiful women? I don’t think you can count the number of ladies you have bedded. You change girlfriends every week." Alexander smirked at him.

"This one looks different. Look at her body and her long slender legs." He picked up the remote control and set the camera to focus on the woman who was still walking gracefully, her back on the camera.

Alexander became curious. He never saw his younger brother pay so much attention to a woman. He glanced curiously at the monitor. At that time, Aryana turned to Erik who has also gotten out of the water and she smiled.

Both Alexander and Leonardo were mesmerized by the smile and the dimples that deck the woman’s oval face. Her hazel eyes were bright and sparkled as she laughed. Her slightly waist-length copper-colored hair tumbled at her shoulder and back.

"No matter how pretty she is, it no longer counts as she is taken. She is not suited for you." Alex studied the monitor once more before looking down to eat his breakfast.

"What are you saying, brother? She only caught my interest because of you."

Alexander raised an eyebrow. He again looked at the screen. The woman has started running. Her ample breasts were juggling up and down as she ran. She has a beautiful profile.

"Looks like they are a newly married couple and on their honeymoon."

"How many married women have fallen for your charm Alex? Let’s make a bet. If you can make that woman fall for you and get her to your bed, then I’ll do one thing that you will ask me for as long as it is not killing myself or those close to me."

"And?"

"If you fail, you give me this yacht."

Alexander laughed aloud. "If I succeed, then you clean my room, wash my clothes, and clean my toilet."

Leanardo looked horrified. "What, I can’t do that!"

"You said you’ll do anything. If you don’t agree then there is no deal."

"Can I do something else? Like giving you a massage?"

Alexander just gave him a sharp look.

"Okay. I’ll do it." Leonardo agreed reluctantly.

"You have to help me take care of her man for at least two hours."

Leonardo made a call.

After a few minutes, a receptionist approached the man and engage him in a conversation. The man turned to the woman. The woman nodded and the man left with the receptionist.

The woman sat down on the sand and started to make sand castles.

Alexander took his surfboard and threw it into the water. He dived from the yacht and followed his surfboard.

He got into his surfboard and rode the waves until he was nearer the shore. He was watching the woman who was looking at him curiously.

When he reached the shallow waters, he waited for a good wave, faked a stunt and purposely fell from the surfboard.

Aryana who was watching the surfer looked troubled when he disappeared under the waves. After a few minutes he was washed ashore slumped on the surfboard.

Aryana looked around but there seemed to be no one else. Left with no choice, she waded into the water and approached the surfer who looked unconscious.

She pushed the surfboard towards the shore. She was standing waist-deep. Half of the man’s body was on the surfboard while half dangled on the water.

She lifted his head gently so half of his face was pressed against the board and half was towards hers. The man was tall. His muscles in the arms were firm and toned. A dragon tattoo was painted on his back.

Aryana gently pressed his back to dispel any water that he might have swallowed. She pressed on some of his acupuncture points.

Alexander cannot pretend anymore. Her touch was like a fire devouring him. He coughed lightly and slowly opened his eyes.

"What happened? Where am I?" The man sounded confused.

"You fell from your surfboard and went under the waves. I am glad that you are alright." Aryana explained in her gentle voice. It was pleasant to the ears.

Alexander pretended to be weak and pitiful. He got off the surfboard and stood on the shallow waters. He purposely displayed his toned chest and his eight-pack abs. He scrutinized her and found her more beautiful up close. Her cheeks were rosy probably from the heat of the sun. Her skin looked soft and smooth, there was no blemish at all.

Aryana was uncomfortable with his gaze, but she tried to look calm.

’What a handsome face and great body.’ Aryana thought.

"Thank you for saving me. I could have drowned without you. My name is Alexander or you can call me Alex for short." He hesitated then extended his hand.

Aryana accepted the outstretched hand and shook it. Alex grasped her hand tightly.

"May I know your name? I will not release your hand until you tell me."

"Aryana. My name is Aryana" She said then she looked at their clasped hand as if reminding him to let go. ’Why is Erik not yet back? What is taking him so long?’

"Miss Aryana, the sun is getting higher and the temperature is also rising. Let us take shelter in that restaurant."

Aryana agreed with him that indeed the sun was getting hotter, so she followed him to the restaurant. She kept her distance from him as they walk.

Alexander noted her aloofness.

"Are you here with someone?" He asked in a sexy voice. ’Damn is she not attracted to me. Why is she keeping such a safe distance?’

"Yes. My husband was called by the receptionist earlier. I am not sure why it is taking a long time." Aryana complained.

"Maybe something came up." He was walking slowly and weakly as if his legs were wobbling. He almost tripped.

Aryana looked at him with a worried look. "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Then he tripped and fell on the sand.

Aryana was beside him in a second. She extended her hand to help him up.

"You don’t look good."

Alexander took her hand and pretended to stand up. Because he was heavy, he pulled down Aryana. Aryana fell on his body. Her bosoms were on his hard chest. She rolled to the side and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Alexander felt her soft breasts during the brief moment of contact. He smelled the fragrance of her hair and was intoxicated by it. What surprised him was to see her blush. He hadn’t seen a woman blush for a long time.

"I am sorry. It is my fault. I was too heavy." He said apologetically. "Are you alright?"

Aryana nodded.

Alexander used both of his hands to prod himself up. Aryana also stood up and went beside him. She held his arm to support him.

"I am a little bit dizzy. Can I lean on you?" He looked at Aryana with his deep grey eyes.

Aryana hesitated but did not withdraw when he placed his big hand on her shoulder. He was as tall as Erik but he was bulkier.

"Maybe you should go to the hospital."

"I just need some rest and I should be fine."

"But have a check up at least. "

Alexander just hummed. They continued to walk slowly and in silence.

"Are you here for a vacation?" Aryana decided to ask and break the awkward silence.

"Yes. I am with my younger brother. We are staying at my friend’s yacht." He pointed to a white yacht not far from the shore.

"Why not call your brother? I can call him for you."
