"Ride up!" Ares stretched out his hand so Irene could climb up from inside the pool.
Irene grabbed Ares' hand. This was the second time he entered the pool. Looks like he'll have to take a swimsuit so he doesn't worry about the water anymore.
"Thank you" said Iren. He was astonished to see a stunned Ares looking at him as if something was wrong with him. He followed where Ares' eyes were looking. It turned out that his stomach was slightly exposed.
Irene rounded her eyes. Hurriedly he confirmed his exposed and wet clothes. Fortunately, the body painting that is worn waterproof, will not fade even exposed to sweat or water. If the disguise is quickly uncovered, it will all be over.
"I'm going in, yeah! If you don't take a quick shower, I can catch a cold!" Irene immediately ran into the house before Ares asked her various questions.
Meanwhile, Ares was still thinking about what he had just seen. Like skin color. Irene's waist has a smooth white skin color. But, that's not possible. Irene's skin was dark all along.
"Did he wear two layers of clothing?" muttered.

A man of stout stature dressed formally stepped confidently into the courtyard of the Abrahamic family home. His eyes are gray with a sharp nose, thick eyebrows, and a firm jaw overgrown with a thick sideburn. Highlight his eyes sharp like an eagle as if focusing on the big house in front of him. There were ten bodyguards walking behind him with communication equipment attached to their ears. Firearms are also one-on-one.
The waiters greeted the 36-year-old man. No one dared to raise their heads as if they were afraid. Two bodyguards came out of the room carrying Grandpa Irene out.
"During time don't meet, Grandpa." The man developed a smile.
"Master, Miss Irene is not in this house" whispered one of the bodyguards she had first assigned to look for Irene and her grandfather inside the house. It turned out that the one inside the mansion was only the grandfather.
The man gave a sharp look towards Grandfather John. He still held back his patience not to vent emotions. There must be something the old man was hiding from her.
"Take him into the living room!" his request.
Hamish Abraham's. That's how people call it. A businessman and mobster who spends more time abroad to build a larger business network.
Hamish was the first grandson of Grandpa John Abraham by his first son. Irene is the son of her second son. Hamish is Irene's cousin. Both of their parents died in an accident. The accident, which Hamish said was an accident committed by their business opponents.
Hamish was already quite big when he lost both his parents. His nature turned ambitious and arrogant with the aim of revenge. She loved Irene so much that she remembered their fate the same. The desire to protect was so great because they were still one family, the younger generation left from the Abrahamic family.
"Where's Irene?" tanyakanya.
"I don't know."
Hamish laughs. "Don't try to lie to me. Grandpa purposely hid it because he knew I was coming home, right?"
Grandpa John was silent. The purpose of deliberately sending Irene to a distant place is indeed one of them to avoid meeting his favorite grandson with Hamish. He thought it best for Irene to get a man who could protect her instead of staying in Hamish's confinement.
After the deaths of Irene's parents, Grandpa John tried hard to maintain the company and businesses that had been run by Irene's father. However, his age is old enough to make him not so have power. Had it not been for Hamish's help, Irene would have lost everything.
"He is old enough to decide his own life. You don't mess with her."
"Scooking?" Hamish is said to have disrupted Irene's life. "I came here to make her my wife and make her happy."
"Hamish!" exclaim Grandpa John. "Seek another woman who is as beautiful as you are. Irene's too young to be your companion."
Hamish has deep feelings for his own cousin. At first it was just a love for the family, gradually the gaze of his eyes increasingly changed, began to be attracted to women whose age was quite far from him.
Luckily, Hamish was busy with his work abroad so as not to interfere with the development of Irene who began to grow up. John's grandfather always advised Hamish to wait until Irene was old enough to express her desire to marry Irene. Grandpa John himself actually disagreed and only intended to buy time so that Irene could leave the house.
"Is Grandpa trying to fool me? All these years I've been patient to wait for Irene to grow up the way you want. After I came back, Grandpa told me to marry another woman?"
Hamish looks angry. During this time he could only watch Irene grow from afar, holding back his patience to meet the woman he loved patiently. He let Irene enjoy her teenage years, finance the college and courses she wanted for her to be happy. After becoming his wife, he was determined to make Irene happier.
"Grandfather knows. But you don't fit together."
Clack!
Hamish pointed a gun taken from his pocket at the grandfather. His gaze so sharp implied a burning rage. He did not accept anyone to stand in the way of his desire to be with Irene, even if it was his own grandfather.
"I wouldn't hesitate to kill you if I dared to oppose my relationship with Irene." His words sounded no joke.
"Didn't you ever think about Irene's fate if you were with you? Your enemy is very much, even you only have to be accompanied by many bodyguards to ensure safety. Let Irene just live a normal life as an ordinary woman."
Grandpa John tried to speak wisely. He does not want Irene to be involved in the dark world that is immersed in Hamish. His granddaughter should live happily and lovingly, not living in the shadow of death and anxiety.
"I'll take care of him with my own life, Grandfather need not doubt how much I love him." Hamish put the gun back in his pocket.
"I'm sure Grandpa won't tell me where Irene is. So, I'll keep looking for him myself. Or I'll make him come to this house of his own accord."
"Grandpa must take care of our health in order to witness our marriage."
"I can't wait to see my bride."
Hamish got up from his seat. He left the mansion followed by his men. Hamish will search for Irene's whereabouts and bring her back to his side.
