Back on the island, no matter how much Alexander Han struggles and conceals his feelings, the result wouldn't change. In fact, it never helps --he only ends up missing her and loving her more and more.
Perhaps, it's because of the short time he spent with her on that island was one of the happiest time in his 28 years of existence. Or maybe he already likes her from their first encounter? Or because he almost cost him her life because of his miscalculation and naive idealism?
With all these possibilities, Alexander Han's intense feelings towards Seraphina has an unknown origin. He too cant explicate the questions 'when, how and what' regarding this so-called love. No matter how he trails his every memory with her, he doesn't know where it began
----
When Seraphina and Riggs left Alexander Han without even giving him a second glance, Alex stared at the shut door silently for quite some time. There was an indescribable feeling swirling in his eyes that no one, even him could comprehend.
Initially, Alexander Han wasn't supposed to meet her today --or to be precise, he doesn't want to see her ever again; not because he despises her or he doesn't like her. On the contrary, his feelings for her just grew fonder when she left Isla De Paz. He knew that the moment he'll see her again, he might as well throw himself at her.
However, after a lot of back and forth, Alexander Han changes his decision in the last minute. In his mind, his d_e_s_i_r_e to meet her or even just a glimpse of her-- in this way, if he ended up dying in the world he was dragged into, he won't regret.
Yet, when he heard Seraphina ridiculously asking for an extra charge, he could not help but chuckle. It made him think these words: 'Now, I regret seeing her.' because he might end up locking her and keep her for himself.
Even so, he restraint himself from doing something stupid and got down to his main agenda. But all he got from her was her usual threats. For some reasons, she sounded cute to him this time. Maybe, he was going insane as well for thinking it that way -- probably because of all the occurrences for the past month.
Nonetheless, the difference between before and now --her words sounded more understandable because he could now comprehend what life is it for someone being entangled with a crime organization.
Alas, now is not the time to make this love his priority and this is clear to him.
"Young master?" Thomas Yang's voice snapped him back from his trance.
"Master, is she really capable? We investigated her and no records show that she was associated with any clans or family in the underground society." Thomas Yang continued.
"Who knows. but, her bodyguard proves she is no ordinary person." Alexander Han nonchalantly explains as he sips his warm tea.
Thomas Yang: "Uh --"
"The 'mad-spender' Riggs…" before Thomas Yang could speak, he was interrupted by Alexander Han's calm words. When he heard the name he spouted, he was stunned for a second.
'What did he said? That man is who?' Thomas Yang was quite shocked by the news.
They indeed investigate about Seraphina Yue's background and her possible connections with the underground community. Alas, to no avail, they didn't gather information about her.
If it wasn't for Alexander Han's connection, they wouldn't even know the big shots in the underworld. Luckily, although the data of the classified pieces of information they retrieve was limited, they manage to hire some rats for names and confirmations. One of the names caught the attention of Alexander Han was Riggs -- also known as the mad spender.
Thus, if he could get Riggs on his side, it will be a great benefit on Alexander Han. After all, he already witnessed his skills and capabilities.
"Interesting, isn't?" Alexander Han spoke as an amuse glint flashes across his eyes.
