Chapter 131 - Don’t Fight Me

The patrol boat towed their yacht back to the nearby island where Raine and Tyrone were booked to be staying. Raine and Tyrone thanked the patrol officers for their help before returning to their hotel quickly. She had let Tyrone continue with the act of being a clingy husband since Raine was inwardly enjoying it. But now that it was no longer needed, she immediately yanked her hand away from his the moment they were back inside their suite.

Tyrone's face darkened for a moment, then he sighed and replaced it with his usual stoic expression while he walked behind Raine.

Raine's mobile phone rang as she sat on the sofa. She frowned for a while, staring at the screen before answering it.

"Yes?"

"Dr. Candice Yao?"

"Yes, speaking, who is this?" Raine asked.

"I'm Ron Dr. Yao. CEO Yang's executive assistant. The CEO asked me to contact you for a favor," the man informed from the other line.

"A favor? How come you're the one calling me instead of him?" Raine asked with a lifted brow.

There was a pause before the man continued, "Actually, it was the CEO's cousin Mr. Keira Chan who is asking for this favor. She has a sister that the Chan Family adopted last year and the woman looked exactly like you. Ms. Mara Chan came from an isolated and indigenous island where Ms. Keira and her husband got stranded and rescued a year ago. The similarities between you and Mara are something fascinating. Ms. Keira Chan would like to ask for your cooperation in doing a DNA test. It would be a big help for Ms. Mara Chan because she was longing to find out about her origin."

There was a loud sigh from Raine before she spoke, "I'm not sure about it, Ron. I will think more about it and give you a call as soon as I decide. I know it's not a big deal to give my sample but I'm not sure yet. Let me think about it for a while."

"I understand, Dr. Yao. Please feel free to call me anytime on your decision," Ron said.

"I will, Ron," Raine replied and ended the call as Ron thanked her.

Raine did not need Tyrone for what was that call. He knew that it was about the woman who looked exactly like Raine and based on Raine's conversation with Xander's assistant, they wanted Raine's sample.

"You and that woman could be related," Tyrone could not help but voice out his opinion.

"And this is not the time for me to think about it. I would rather wait for my father to wake up and ask him directly about it," Raine answered.

"Would he dare tell you the truth?" Tyrone questioned but Raine only ignored him. She rested her head on the headrest of the sofa. Her eyes closed as she breathed lightly. 

"Ah, the Kens' security is as tight as you said it would be," Raine restlessly murmured, deliberately changing the topic.

Tyrone sat on the sofa and stared at her face. She looked weary and exhausted. Draki moved towards him and Tyrone signaled the wolf to quietly walk outside the balcony to relax and take a nap. The wolf quickly obeyed. Tyrone glanced back at Raine and took his time just staring at her beauty while her eyes were still closed.

"The Kens are a very powerful family that we shouldn't ever offend, especially Old Master Ken. They're helping Xander because they treat Yera as one of their own. Try checking out the facilities on the island. I've heard some constructions are going on that we can use to penetrate the area easily," Raine added with a sigh.

The call she received a while ago bothered her. Half of her wanted to do the DNA test, but the other half of her was afraid to pursue it somehow. She grew up without a sibling. Then she wondered how it would feel to have a sister, a twin? She was curious if she and Mara were truly related but somehow, she thought it would be better if she did not have a twin or sibling at all… That Mara would be in a safer place where she was right now. Free as a bird… away from all the mess surrounding her.

"You look exhausted, Raine. Why don't you take a break for a while and enjoy our stay here for the time being?"

Raine opened her eyes. With a faint smile, she snorted, "Hmm, you've been addressing me rather casually as of late."

Tyrone met her gaze, "You told me before to either address you by your name or by calling you Darling…"

Raine chuckled, "And you said that you prefer calling me Boss. Hmm... What's with the sudden change?"

"Seriously?" Tyrone frustratingly whispered. He didn't know whether or not Raine was just faking it. That, or she was really just that dense.

Raine could tell what was going inside his mind. Of course, she knew Tyrone's heart, but she preferred to act mindlessly about the unspoken matter. Well, more like she was simply choosing to ignore it like a brainless toad so that she won't get swayed.

'Ah... What I'm doing is so foolish!' she inwardly retorted to herself.

There was a sly smile on her face as she stated, "Didn't I warn you to guard yourself well before myself? If you continue acting weird, then don't blame me for the consequences…"

Tyrone's face darkened and, for a while, Raine struggled hard to maintain constant eye contact with him.  His powerful gaze sent shivers down her spine. To her, what she was doing was for his own good. She had suddenly regretted everything she had done to him, thinking why she wouldn't take responsibility for her own actions and carelessness. 

"Being with me is always a game…" Raine weakly whispered. She stood up from the sofa and walked towards the closet as she continued, "You can leave now. I want to rest for a while. I'll call you back once I come up with a plan on how to penetrate Plumeria Island."

She was about to walk towards the bathroom when she suddenly felt Tyrone's firm hand pulling her in. To her surprise, he abruptly pinned her back against the wall.

"A game?!" 

There was a mocking tone in his voice. The coldness in his blazing bluish-grey eyes made her body freeze from where she stood. She wondered how long she could keep up trying to stare at those fiery eyes.

"Hmm.... You should have seen this coming…" she whispered, staring into his eyes with her fiery gaze as if to challenge his cold stare.

"Yeah, you're right… But you too should have known that I'm willing to play any game you want just to stay by your side. After all… you're my sweet vixen…" 

Raine felt her throat dry up from his words.

'My sweet vixen…' The words replayed themselves, repeatedly roaring at Raine's ears. That was what Tyrone called her during their most intimate moments.

Terror and horror engulfed her being. "What did you just say?" she whispered.

Tyrone had a dead expression on his face as he repeated, "You're my sweet vixen…"

"You… you're not human?!" she gasped in disbelief. The memory lost powder did not work on him? She already had a hunch, but she tried to ignore all the signs… She somehow wanted to be wrong with all of her assumptions for the first time in her life. On the bright side, she was able to breathe a little bit better now from all of those speculations drowning her mind on whether the Glawackus powder worked on him or not.

"You didn't forget?" she fearfully asked.

There was a smirk on Tyrone's face. He leaned closer to the point where his lips almost touched hers, "How can I forget those wonderful moments? You should know that you're not someone that can be easily forgotten. You are someone who drives other people crazy, and you drove me insane!"

Raine's face paled. She felt so lost that her mind felt as if it was thrust instantly into a chaotic mess.

She parted her lips to say something, but all she felt was his familiar warmth on her lips as he silenced her. He was kissing her hungrily, leaving her no room to even think let alone say a word. She tried to push him away, but strangely enough, he seemed to become so strong that he didn't even budge. His chest felt like a hard rock pressing her against the wall.

To her chagrin, he had easily grabbed her hands off his chest and pulled them up above her head, pinning them firmly behind her. Tyrone then probably sensed her next move as he quickly lifted her up. 

Immediately, her legs subconsciously wrapped themselves around his waist.

'What is wrong with me?' With a thought, Raine tried to regain the senses that the kiss had slowly lured away from her. However, it was too good… His soft lips pressed against hers. For the last time, she found herself just wanting to stay in his arms that way, convincing herself that she probably deserved to have these kinds of feelings towards him.

There was an inner struggle going on inside of Raine. She was highly unsure of how to handle herself.

"Don't fight me… Please don't fight what you truly feel for me..." he breathed, almost begging her.. He wanted her badly and knew that she felt the same way about him.
