At Strip Club.

  Zayn was undeniably seductive and a professional on top of that. Whenever she would answer their question, she would subtly make sultry movements that were truly uncomfortable to her eyes, like wetting her lips often, touching her bare legs or putting her finger inside her mouth while thinking.

  And the worst thing of it was, Zayn's eyes were stuck on Liam. If not because of the important information they could get from the woman, Lana would pull Liam out of that room instantly.

  'So gross!' Lana wanted to cry out loud.

  "If you recall anything that's of importance regarding this case or Doug. You can give me a call in here……" Liam offered, changing the topic because he could feel Lana's uneasiness with Zayn.

  He was about to take out his calling card, but Lana was quicker than him to grab hers and hand it to Zayn.

  "Give us a call or message here." Lana whispered. Zayn accepted it with her eyes still lingering on Liam, totally ignoring Lana's crumpled face. She had never seen such a handsome man come over their place and Liam was like fresh meat that she would surely love to enjoy without even taking any money for pleasuring him.

  Zayn seemed unaffected with Lana's crumpled face and looked at Liam and said, "Memorize my number handsome… Who knows you might need me for something more, you never know. Although I'm always available for money, you can be an exemption and call me just for fun."

  She winked at Liam, then told her mobile number.

  "Wait, I'll get a pen…" she muttered and grabbed her purse. Lana and Liam remained quiet because Zayn was right. They might need her mobile number.

  "You see, this is my personal number, and I rarely gave it to anyone." Zayn added as she suddenly grabbed Liam's hand and wrote her number on his palm. Lana was throwing daggers at her with her cold eyes.

  They talked for a while more, and Zayn gave them enough information that could leave them to dig deeper in Gilbert's murder case and save Gale.

  Soon their time was up and Lana, as promised, paid Zayn enough money. They stood up and were about to leave when Zayn spoke, "Are you sure you don't want any other services from me handsome? You know, I can give you a discount if you want…"

  Zayn offered, eyes directed at Liam, and she even bit her lip seductively in front of Liam.

  "Just remember you can always find me here anytime just in case… Or maybe just call me on that number. Make sure you memorize that and not lose it…" she added.

  Lana's face was too dark, and Liam as much he felt happy inside was also preparing for Lana's outburst and expecting the gloomy weather at night on the bed before they slept.

  Liam shook his head and put his arms on Lana and said, "Sorry, but I'm already married to this woman who is more than enough for me…"

  *****

  At Sy mansion.

  Senior Sy was feeling a little restless and could not sleep, so he called both Miley and Jorge and asked them to accompany him on the terrace to have drinks with him while playing chess with the two.

  "How is the house? It's been a while since you checked it." Senior Sy asked Jorge while thinking on his next move.

  "Oh, it's so creepy dad! I am sure Jorge won't be able to manage to sleep for even a day there. He will have goosebumps all over his body and will be disturbed by all the weird noises that come from unknown sources in that house." Miley interrupted.

  She was uncomfortable about Jorge moving into his family mansion all alone, leaving her and going away, as if he was trying to run away from her.

  'To think about it, he actually is running away from me… like he said when we went to his house, he wanted to own me as soon as possible… is he afraid he would lose his control on himself if he stayed here?'

  Senior Sy moved one of his knights on the chessboard game before saying, "That's why I said no need for Jorge to move there.?Why don't you two just get married within a week and keep staying here with me? Time is gold, you know, so I don't see any point in those long engagements…"

  "Dad!" Miley burst out loud with a twitched mouth. She clearly requested her father to give Jorge some difficult trials, so why was it that he was giving her away that easily?!

  Jorge?laughed and said, "Checkmate!"

  Senior Sy shook his head as Jorge beat him easily in that game.

  "We should follow the proper procedure! I want an engagement ceremony! Why are you giving me so easily to Jorge? I'm your only girl! Hmp!"?Miley complained with a crumpled face.

  Senio Sy chuckled and said, "Alright… If you want it to happen that way, then let's do it. I'm just saying that we can go through the shortcuts if you like…"

  "I don't like shortcuts… What if it's different when we are in a relationship? Anything can happen after marriage. Me and Jorge have been together for too long but not as girlfriend and boyfriend, so I still believe that it's better if we enjoy each other's company first as lovers before tying the knot." Miley growled.

  Senior Sy looked at Jorge and raised his eyebrows. His eyes were asking for his opinions.

  Jorge smiled and honestly gave his opinion, "I would prefer to get married as soon as possible, even tomorrow, since I'm sure about having Miley as my lifetime partner. I can't picture myself with any other woman except Miley because I love her and I want to be committed to her and her to me as well.

  But if it is her wish to make me wait for her and punish me for confessing so late, then I will gladly take this punishment because I have waited years to get enough courage to confess my feelings to her so a little time that she is asking to wait is just nothing, because I can wait for Miley even if it takes her forever to say yes…"

  Miley's face blushed so hard, hearing Jorge's words. She had never known him to be so good at words and expressing his feelings so clearly, even in front of their father. If not for their father sitting right in front of them, she would have pounced on him and kissed him deeply and passionately.

  Maybe she should sneak in Jorge's door later and give him the kiss he deserved.

  Senior Sy chuckled and stood up. "Oh, I suddenly started feeling sleepy. I will leave you both lovebirds now since I feel like my presence here is not needed. Hahaha." He babbled, still laughing hard as he left.

  The childish behaviour of Miley amused him. But how could he explain to her that he was not giving her away that easily, of course, if it was some other man? But when it was

  Jorge he could trust with no reasoning. He trusted Jorge enough to entrust Miley in his hands without even batting an eye or giving a second thought.
