"The game is tied Eriez."

He gave me a nervous sideway glance.  

I don't want to fail the Zel Cantheliz lineage.

"What about Claire?" Eriez always have questions to bug me with.

"What do you think would be the legal consequences if she got pregnant? After all, we don't have her consent."

Why was he suddenly anxious? For all I knew, he has been nagging Zhio for the past few months to get a girl and have an heir.

"She's not a problem. Both of them would not be able to resist what is bound to happen."

I can't help but laugh at the idea and it didn't took long for this smart man to guess I placed a camera in Zhio's room.

"You really didn't prepare for this," Eriez said sarcastically.

"Sly"

"We better have proof," I smiled as I waited for my men to bring in Claire.

Everything about this plan was against the law but I guessed their true feelings for each other would suppress all repercussions of what Eriez and I did.

(ZHIO)

Everything was in pitch black when I came to consciousness, awoken by the breeze biting at my skin. It took a while for my eyes to adjust in the darkness but just a second for me to realize I was in sleeping robes.  

Last thing I remembered was me drinking with the two old man.

I fumbled for the lamp in the nightstand and fell on the floor, tipsy from the liquor I had.  

Only when I stood up to get back to sleep did I realize her presence, lying comfortably asleep at the other side of my bed. She looked like her…

Like Claire…  

I squinted at her to see if I was dreaming. Or if it was the alcohol.  

My body suddenly felt feverish as I stared at her lips, pushing back the desire to kiss them roughly.  I leaned closer and gave in to the temptation I never had known was deep within me. The woman, whoever she was, responded with similar intensity. I couldn't help but think of Claire as our bodies touched intimately and wished it was true.  

I desperately wished it was Claire.

(CLAIRE)

I woke up breathless to a man's limbs on top of me. I tried to thrash myself free from his weight and felt shame creep up fast to my cheeks when I realized I was naked.  

Naked!  

My movements woke him up and before he could take a gaze at me, I pulled the blanket up to my body. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw who it was.  

It was him.

Just a day ago I hated him so much.

"Zhi-zhio.." I stuttered as he stared at me without saying a word.

I tried to just leave but strong arms pulled me back beside him.  

"…stay," he whispered as he hugged me tight and lulled me back to sleep.

I let my drowsiness take over and shut my eyes whilst his lips kissed my forehead gently. His warmth was comfortably good until it made all the memories surge back altogether. My eyes flung open as fast as thunderbolt as I recalled what happened between us that night. It suddenly felt like a joke.  

I stood abruptly and screamed on top of my lungs, distancing myself from him while holding the blanket tight around me.  

"Take one more step or..." I threatened.  

He just smiled at me with that smile that I couldn't resist.

"Or?"
