Chapter 85 – One Hell of a Game (Anj‘s POV)

Finn was drinking champagne as he sat comfortably in his seat.

Anya was busy taking pictures, and maybe before we reached our destination, she would be donecovering all parts of the plane, with different poses in her camera except sitting on the pilot‘s seatwhile we were still on the flight.

Dylan pretended to be busy reading a magazine he found on the seat but constantly stoleglances and checked on me. After that kiss on the Ferris Wheel, we never got the chance to talkagain because, first off, I made sure I never stayed in one place alone with him, and second, Ihardly went home to Aunt Rose‘s home.

My kids were on the bed, playing with Nitro, short for nitrogen, the name they gave the puppy. Thedog was a ‘she‘, and the entire drive to the airport, they argued many times about what her nameshould be. In the end, they settled on the largest chemical composition of the sky. When theyfinally had the name, there was a bit of argy–bargy on how she should be called. Since the puppywas a girl, they decided to call her Gen, but when they saw the name of the cabin crew with ‘Gen‘written on her name tag, they changed the pet‘s name to Nitro.

And I am here, chewing on my cuticle the entire flight, sometimes picking up, then putting the phoneback on the table, then doing it again. Maybe Sky wanted to surprise the children, and he would be thereon the island waiting for me, I mean, for the kids.

I breathed out nervously. I am not expecting Sky. I am not hoping Sky will be there. I... I rose to my feetand walked to Gen.

“Tea, please,” I smiled apologetically at her.

She smiled gently, nodding at me. “I‘ll bring your tea to your seat, Ms. Perry,” she must have sensed Iwas nervous.

I nodded, walked back to my seat, and chewed on my fingernails again. She brought the tea shortly butincluded a small pack of dark chocolates. I raised my eyebrows, picking up the small package. “You caneat that later. They said it‘s good to reduce anxiety,” she said. I nodded. “Yeah. So, I heard. It‘s a richsource of polyphenols, especially flavonoids,” I said and closed my eyes, opening the dark chocolatesand putting one into my mouth instead of the tea. “Flavonoids might reduce cell death in the brain. Itcould also –”I opened my eyes and saw Gen looking at me like I was some kind of talking book. “It couldalso improve blood flow,” I finished and smiled anxiously at her. “Just call me if you need anything else,Ms. Perry,” She chuckled.

We reached our destination just before sunset, and it didn‘t surprise me anymore that the island had itsown private airstrip for the plane. Another seven–seater car went to fetch us, but the ride was about tenminutes until we arrived at the luxury villa near the beach.

The place to stay didn‘t matter to the kids. The moment we got out of the plane, they already

wanted to jump in the water, and Finn, being the hero of the day, explained it was much better when wereached the villa. It was why when the car stopped and as soon as they got out of the vehicle, my kidsran to the powdery white sand and squealed in delight as they put Nitro on the ground, and as if theywere crabs, they excitedly dug the sand. “Ms. Perry, as much as I would like to stay, I think this is notwhat my brother wanted to happen. He said you already talked about this,” he said, causing my heart toget stuck in my throat.

“He‘s not coming, is he?” I managed to lift the corners of my mouth. Finn shrugged and looked at mychildren. “One thing I‘m sure of is seeing you again, Ms. Perry. And when I see you again, I will be callingyou Anj, or...” he batted his eyelashes at me, smiling as he continued, “Sweetheart, perhaps?”

I sneered at him. “That‘s never gonna happen, Finn.” He laughed when I lifted my clenched fist, wantingto punch him. I shook my head as I crossed my arms in my chest.

“Relax, Ms. Perry.” He chuckled. “Enjoy your vacation. You didn‘t need to worry about your stayhere. Just a warning, though. There‘s no signal here, but there‘s a satellite phone inside if you wish tocall the pilot. There are also three stay–in servants here, and they have already filled the kitchen withfood, but you can still ask them if you want to eat something not available in the stock room.”

“We‘re not staying here forever, Finn,” I smirked at him. He rolled his eyes. “I know. Who would love tostay here when there‘s no internet?” He shook his head. He waved at my kids. “Girls, Uncle Finn isgoing home. Take care of Nitro!” He shouted and waved at Anya and Dylan, standing near the threegirls playing on the sand. “Thank you and take care,” I was sincere in saying it as I was truly grateful forhim for giving Nitro to the girls. At least, with the puppy around, they have forgotten Sky for a while. Hejust nodded and turned his back on me to return to the car, but before plopping in, he called me. “Ms.Perry, just a piece of advice. My brother is a good man. He‘s the best, actually, but this whole thing ofpretending won’t do good for both of you,” He smiled at me. “He‘s getting married to Lalaine, and herfamily‘s one of the major stockholders in our company. So, you know how it works, right?” I pursed mylips, putting on my poker face to hide what I truly felt at the moment. “And my brother... Sky loves her. Ifyou‘re up for the competition, think about it. It would be one hell of a game.”

I watched Finn get into the car and turn to the sun slowly hiding on the horizon. He was right; even if Iplay this right, I will still lose. If those were the criteria to win Sky, then I don‘t have the advantage, onlylosing because the only ace I have is my children.
