Chapter 8: The Arrangement

Kyle Conti's POV

After my anger management went out of the window, Alina showed me how calming it was when we were making love. I was happy and full at the moment as Alina showed me techniques that I never knew existed. She left me happy and contented last night. I was happy to meet a woman that finally know what she was doing in the bedroom.

"coffee?" Alina said as she just putting a tray beside the bed. I was popping on my arm to see her in my shirt with her long legs that were showing to the full capacity of my view. I took it in before pulling her to kiss her on the lips. She giggled before taking the coffee and hand it to me.

"Thanks," I said before drinking it slowly.

"so, do you think you mad at me anymore?" Alina asked as she looked at me. She was sitting next to me after she gave me the coffee.

"I don't know. It depends on how you might want to redeem yourself," I said as I went to look at her. She eyed me with her big eyes before she put down the coffee.

"Well, I let you in a little secret of mine, but don't tell anyone," she said as she came closer to me. I put down my own coffee as I looked at her.

"Well, go on then. Tell me about it," I asked as I was rubbing her thighs. She sighed as she looked at me all serious.

"Promise me that you will not tell about it to anyone, not even your family," she said as I nodded at her.

"I'm not an average waitress that you met the other day at the restaurant. I more like going here and there and you might not see me around any more often than we are right now as I will be traveling abroad a lot," she said as she looked at me.

"that's all?" I asked chuckling at her. Alina slapped me on the arm that made me rubbed it. man, this woman can slap.

"I'm serious. I don't want you to tell about it to anyone. Not even your friends and family. Understood?" She asked me as she was pointing her finger at me.

"Okay, okay, okay. I heed your warning. so, why don't we continue what we left off last night?" I said as I was rubbing up and down her thigh. She swatted my hand away.

"Not in your wildest dream," she said before getting up from the bed and went to get her coffee as she went to look outside the window.

"someone's coming," she said as she looked out the window.

"Who is it?" I asked as I got up from the bed without anything to cover my gorgeous body and I knew that Alina would appreciate it very well.

"I don't know, someone that might want to come to ask you about the investment, I guess," She said before getting to me.

"and don't forget your trouser, sweetheart," she said as she handed me the pants that I used last night.

"you know you like it when I'm naked," I said as I was smiling at her.

"In your dreams, Conti," she said as she went inside the bathroom. I was about to get into the bathroom before the door was knocking.

"coming," I said as I put on my pants and button shirt as I combed my hair with my fingers.

"Yes?" I said as I opened the door and I saw Mr. De Ville was waiting for me in front of the door.

"Vlad! What a lovely surprised! I don't know that you were coming today. If not I would have met you at our usual location," I said before he held his hand up.

"it's okay, Mr. Conti. I was out and about in the area and was wondering if you could show me around the lodge for the improvement that you were talking about," he said as he looked at me with his big eyes.

"Yeah, sure. If you insisted. Let's get going," I said as I was getting out of the lodge as Vlad was walking around the area.

"so, the cabins are located in this area and I saw there was a path for the hiking trail but it was very old and ancient. We can improve that by making the new path and clear out some of the areas to make picnic tables and maybe add some fireplace for them to barbeque. You know what they say, fire is good for great steak," I said as we walked around the area.

I showed him the path and explained to him that we can build a new picnic table and another path for the hiking trail as it cannot be the only path that we have at the lodge.

"hmm, it seems wonderful and great. What about the waterfall and stuff that you made about the investment. I read about it and it really impressed me, I must say," Vlad said as he went to the main office of Mr. Adam.

"Yeah, I am really glad that you might want to consider the investment in this project. I will assure you that you will be disappointed," I said cheerfully as I tried to call Mr. Adam to serve some tea or coffee to Vlad.

"Mr. Adam, we have a guest. Can you make some coffee or tea please?" I said as we went inside the main office.

"yes, Mr. Conti, I will serve the," was the thing that he said before he gasped as he looked at Mr. De Ville.

" Mr. Adam, Are you alright?" I asked him as he looked like he has seen a ghost. He closed his eyes and chanted some prayers in Romanian before I looked at Vlad. He shrugged as Mr. Adam opened his eyes and looked at me. He pulled me to the side and asked me about something, mainly about Vladislaus De Ville.

"How do you know this man, sir?" He asked as he looked at me.

"Well, my secretary said that he was interested to make an investment in our lodge. So, I met him at the restaurant at the other day," I said to him.

"You cannot trust the man, and neither the woman. I will bring the coffee right away," he said before he disappeared into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry. I did not know what Mr. Adam was thinking. I must apologize if he offended you in any way," I said to Mr. De Ville as I took a seat in front of him at the table.

"no worries, I was not offended in any way," he said as Mr. Adam carried the coffee on the tray in the front of us. He was eyeing me and Vlad as he took the coffee from the tray.

"Thank you, Mr, Adam," Vlad said as he put up his cup toward him.

"Yes, you're welcome," he said before getting out of the way from the seating.

"so, do we have a deal or agreement or any kind of sort?" I asked Vlad as he was sipping on the coffee.

"You got yourself a deal, Mr. Conti and I can say for certain that you are right about these lands. It does seem mysterious and enchanted of some sort," he said as he looked out of the window that was straight for cabin 13, the lodge that I was living in right now.

"Yes, thank you for your time for stopping by," I said as I looked inside Vlad's car as he rolled down the window.

"Any time, Conti and remember what you promise me, profit by the end of the year," he said before he drove off from the lodge and I was waving at his retreated car.

"I really wish that too," I said as Alina came out of the lodge.

"Who was that?" She asked as she went to my side. I wrapped her around my arms as she looked at me.

"someone that will play a vital role in rebuilding this place," I said before I perked her nose.

"Come on, let's eat. I'm starving," I said before we went inside the cabin, however, Alina was still looking at the retreating car of Vlad and I wondered what was on her mind.

Alina Dalca's POV

Damnation.

"Alina, are you coming?" Kyle asked as he was waiting for me in front of the door,

"Yeah, coming," I said as I went up to the stairs and Kyle was smiling down on me.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" Kyle said as he closed the door and I went to take out the food that we ordered.

"Yeah, I know," I said before we went to dig into our food and weirdly, I felt at home.
