Is this destiny?

On the private island in the Adriatic Sea… 

Aiden closed the laptop and kept it on the side. The show is over, and the device is occupying precious space on the bed. He turned toward Sarah and grinned mischievously when he saw that she is deep in her thoughts.

Neither Sarah or Aiden are early risers, but it's early and they are awake, in the bed, on their honeymoon. How Aiden sees it, it would be an absolute waste not to use this opportunity to indulge in carnal pleasures.

"So… Angelo does not know that Bruno went to Los Angeles and made his move on Emma with a goal to seduce her, make her his wife so that he can take over Nero armi.", Sarah summarized the parts from Bruno's talk which she finds the most interesting, oblivious that Aiden's mood changed from business to pleasure.

"Do you think that we can use that?", Aiden asked while pulling Sarah to lay down on the bed next to him.

Sarah's lips curved into a smug smile and she hummed in confirmation. "Mhm... a big boss like Angelo… I wonder how he will show his gratitude when we expose his right hand man as someone who is working behind his back?"

Aiden agrees with Sarah. Angelo is a big boss and to him, loyalty is important. Angelo will not be kind to Bruno when he finds out that Bruno is plotting behind his back.

Aiden spoke while his hands traveled over Sarah's body: "Bruno said how Angelo approves of Emma's union with Charlie because Smithsonite corp. is in weapons development and works with the military. If Nero armi gets access to that, it's like a gold mine. Bruno going there to meddle between Emma and Charlie definitely goes against Angelo's plans. Do you think that we should deal with Bruno, or let Angelo take care of him?"

"I'm not sure…", Sarah admitted and in the next second her face lit up. "Let's go and visit Angelo. We are already here, it's just a short ride." 

Well, maybe not a short ride, but with their helicopter they can be at Angelo's villa in Sicily in about one hour.

"You want the two of us to go personally and expose Bruno to Angelo?", Aiden put Sarah's clues together.

He wondered when she will realize that he is squeezing her buttocks. Maybe he should squeeze harder.

Sarah squirmed at the sensation on her behind, but she was too engrossed in planning their next steps related to Bruno and Angelo to pick up Aiden's hints.

She nodded happily. "Yes. We should go and show Angelo what Bruno is up to. And based on Angelo's reaction, we can decide what to do with Bruno. And I have a great idea what we will get in return…" 

Aiden's hands paused. He exhaled and frowned. Other than her absolutely not reacting to him caressing her body, there is another thing: "This is our honeymoon and you want to work."

Sarah leaned on Aiden and pressed her index finger between his eyebrows which came together. "Not work… pleasure."

At the feeling of her finger pressing between his eyebrows, Aiden's expression softened. That gesture reminds him of the two of them in his white Mercedes… it was a long time ago, but he still remembers every detail. At that time, she hugged him and said that it's not enough. Very pleasant memories. 

Aiden's arms wrapped around Sarah and a devilish smile appeared on his face. If she is not reacting to the subtle caressing and squeezing, he will up his game!

His palms kneaded her breasts while his lips landed on her neck.

In an instant, the space under the cover was charged with sexual energy. 

"Wait… wait… Anna and Jeff are waiting for instructions from us…", Sarah reminded Aiden.

Aiden stopped his kisses and scooted on the side from Sarah.

"You have one minute.", he said while giving her a meaningful look.

Sarah giggled and got her phone. "Let me call them. It will be faster… What should I tell them? I'm capable of thinking only about one thing…" Sarah glanced at the tent above Aiden's crotch area.

Aiden stifled a laugh, happy to see Sarah's lustful gaze. Mission accomplished! His Mrs. is not thinking about work anymore. "Tell them to keep Bruno alive for twenty-four hours, and until then we will get back to them."

"Ah, that is a short message. I will text them…"

Aiden pulled Sarah to lay on the middle of the bed and dove under the cover. "If you are texting, there is no need for me to wait."

"Ah, wait!", Sarah squirmed when she felt his lips move on the insides of her thighs. "I can't… type like this…" She jolted when he nipped her.

Sarah gasped when she felt Aiden's arms holding her hips firmly in place. She knows what is coming.

"I'm not stopping. So, you better hurry…", Aiden's deep voice trailed off from under the cover before he buried his face between her legs.

Sarah struggled to hold onto her phone. There is no way she can send a text message like this. "Aiden... Mmm... How can... Ahhh!..."

Aiden chuckled. "Not my problem..."

In the safehouse in Los Angeles…

JoAnna read the message from Sarah and gave her phone to Jeff. There are spelling errors (which is not like Sarah), but they got the point: Bruno should be kept alive for another 24 hours.

"What?", Jeff asked in disbelief and his eyes darted from JoAnna to the phone few times before he looked at Charlie who is beating up Bruno mercilessly. "They are kidding right?"

JoAnna shook her head, indicating that it is not a joke before pointing toward Charlie. "You stop him. I am pregnant." 

Jeff glanced toward Emma and realized that she is a fragile girl and if she gets close to Charlie she will probably get hurt. That leaves him.

Jeff grimaced and mumbled: "This is not why I went to the business school…"

"Charlie, stop… Charlie… you need to stop…", Jeff half-pleaded while pulling Charlie away from Bruno who was unconscious on the ground. 

Before Charlie started venting his anger, he requested for Bruno to be unchained from the chair.

"Why do I need to stop?", Charlie snapped at Jeff. "This scum deserves to die! Didn't you hear what he would do to Emma? What would you do if Anna was part of his plans?"

Jeff will not deny that he sees Charlie's point. But Sarah and Aiden want Bruno alive, and that probably means that they have some plan which involves Bruno. At the same time, that does not mean that they can't deliver Bruno to Charlie after he served his purpose (whatever that purpose might be). But how can Jeff convince Charlie to cool off? 

Ah! He wished Aiden and Sarah to be here. Why are they on a honeymoon? If Aiden is present, he would handle this physical work like stopping fights (or starting them). Jeff is made for an office and negotiations and… Jeff reminded himself that he is strong in negotiations and he focused mightily to come up with something to pacify Charlie (at least for the next twenty four hours).
