Insulo De Fajro: Love And Desire

Chapter 6

The waves keep kissing my feet as the heat of the sun hug my body.

Sitting in front of one of the floating cottage while looking at the waves that making effort to kiss my feet, make me smile. The luke warm sea breeze calm my nerve somehow while the school of baby fish that enjoying what they are doing the shallow water make my mind clear.

The past night is kinda chaotic. Well, for me, it is. Being ask to be lover of a stranger out of nowhere and knowing the reasons behind it, make my mind mess the whole night. Luckily, boss Matthew and Zion allowed me to stay in one of the floating cottage on the other side of the island which now I called as ordinary island. They're giving me enough time to think.

I heaved a deep sigh. I still don't know what to do. I still can't decide if I'll say yes to Zion. Well, I think I have to, as it's Zion's request. As boss Matthew said that at the end of the day I should adhere to what he want. But I can't decide yet.

Though Zion's purpose on asking me to be his lover is a win-win situation, it hard for me to said yes. I really can't. He want to make it as an official, not just by contract because he don't want a loophole. That alone is enough for me not to say yes. He will be my first boyfriend if ever. He will be my first relationship. I don't want my first relationship to be like this.

Thinking of the reason, part of me want to say yes.  Knowing that the person who stole my identity is not an ordinary and simple person and he might plan to look for me and kill me, make me want to say yes. Thinking that he might harm my parents, that he might kill them, make me want to say yes immediately.

That man who stole your identity is a triad member, a heir to be exact. He belong to a not so big triad and he want a connection to make his clan a bigger and stronger in the underground. He want to overthrow us, the mafia groups and let his triad to rule.

I'm not that sure how famous my parents are. All I know is we are rich. Too rich that we can even sustain the need of five communities for long years. But with what Zion said, I think what we have, what my parents have is more than what I think.

You will be his main target. He surely have plan of killing you as you are the biggest obstacle in his plan. But if you are my lover, you are well protected. He might target you, but I am the one who face him. I'll protect you at all cost. You have my life on your hand.

Zion is a mafia heir. No. He is already the leader. He admitted it last night to me when I asked him. He is the most powerful leader a per boss Matthew when I asked him awhile ago. Though boss Matthew did not give me an exact definition of how Zion as a leader, I can already imagine it. He is bossy, ruthless and merciless leader. A intimidating one. A leader who will reward you if you did a good job and punish you if you did a mistake. A kind of leader that will send shriver to everyone under his command.

I don't know, but I have this feeling that he can protect me. That I'll be safe. But, it still hard for me to decide.

"Thinking under the scorching heat of the sun is not good Ken."

I look up and saw Emman standing beside me with a huge umbrella on his hand. Huge enough to cover the sun even though he is five steps away from me.

I stand. I remove the dirt on my shorts  and put on the slippers.

"Why are you here?" I curiously asked.  Emman is the only staff in this island that you will not see any time. I mean, he is the only employee here that don't go outside and stays in the kitchen or monitoring room. He hates crowd. He love being alone in a room, do his things, sleep and listen to music. He love playing saxophone and when he played it, visitors love it.
