At Diego's first step, the guy's eyes widened as the deadly warning rang in his head. 'The last person I fist fought with didn't leave the hospital alive'.
In the next moment, Diego was standing before him, his gaze sent a chill down his spine, the gaze that shows he was damn serious about what he said. This devil hadn't started and yet he was already sweating profusely.
"Hit me," Diego demanded in a low voice. The trembling guy swallowed hard.
"Uhm.. hmm" His words seem to be caught up in his throat. Out of fear, fluid poured out beneath him.
"The the fuck?" One of the crowd's eyes widened.
What's he doing? Is he crazy?...
This is so embarrassing...
Others in the club murmured among each other. The guy before Diego became confused. Just then, he looked down to his pants and realized why they were all staring.
He peed in his pants. 'Oh fuck' He cursed inwardly and then look back up to Diego who smirked.
"Okay sorry man.. fuck, you're so scary. I was just playing with you, man..." His words were cut short when Diego roughly grabbed his neck hard.
"I said hit me" He demanded again. The guy peed on his pants again, unable to move his muscles. When the guy did nothing, Diego pushed him away.
The guy landed hard on the table behind him and groaned in pain.
Sighing, Diego turned back to Candy, who had a relieved look on her face. She was glad Diego didn't kill him. He held her hand gently and led her away from the crowd heading up to the VIP area.
"I fucking told you to stay away from him. Now look at you all wet in your urine" The guy's friend spat.
Getting upstairs, Diego was being greeted by every worker at the VIP. One could see the surprised look on their faces when they saw him with a woman.
The woman is rumored to be his wife..
He took her into a comfortable empty room and faced her.
"How about we stay here? I'm sorry but crowds make me uncomfortable. We can dance here instead" After his words, Diego pressed two buttons on the wall behind her.
Elegant music filled the room and fancy lights beautified the room. Candy's lips stretched up to a smile.
"Do you like it?" He asked, bringing her attention back to himself.
"Yeah I do"
"Well, I don't know how to dance. I guess you'll be my teacher tonight" He led her to the center of the room. Facing her, he drew her waist close.
Candy's eyes locked with his. The reason why she loved this man was unknown to her. His presence, action and just everything makes her heart flutter.
"I'm waiting for your first wife" His words brought her back, and she saw him smirked. "Am I that handsome?"
"Tssk.. yes you are. I want to stare at you all day Di" She grinned.
"I love you" He whispered, kissing her forehead. Candy couldn't count the number of times, she had heard those beautiful words from his mouth.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she made the first move and began to dance with him. Diego was a fast learner so caught up quickly.
They stared at each other smiling while taking careful dancing steps, lost in their own world and never wanting to come out of it.
"Thanks, wife.. thanks for being my life. I promise to protect you.. even if it's to burn the whole world down and never feel remorseful about it" Diego promised with the utmost solemnity.
"No Diego.. promise never to leave me. It's going to break my heart so hard I won't be able to live. Promise?" She asked, her eyes desperate for an answer.
"I promise," He muttered. Drawing her closer, he gently kissed her lips.

Aiden watched Yazmine working hard trying to cover up most of the work. He walked up to her and dropped a coffee before her.
"Don't reject" He said before she could speak.
"Just what I needed, thanks," Yazmine said, reaching out for the coffee. She gulped them down in a second and took a deep breath.
"Why is there so much work?" Aiden asked.
"It's just a rival.. They are trying to mess with us. With the president not around, Jameson and I are trying to help the company" Yazmine replied.
"Can I help?" Aiden asked.
"Sure" Yazmine replied and he sat beside her. His cologne hit her nose and she swallowed when her heart skipped a beat... What the hell was that?..
Aiden took a look at what was on her screen. After a while, he returned his gaze to her and found her staring.
"Yaz?" He called out gently.
"Oh.. I gotta go. I'm pressed" She stood up and left the place.

"Say ahh" Candy requested, as she stretched a steak to Diego's lips. He opened up his mouth and took it from her.
"You should eat too, you've been feeding me," He said, stabbing a steak with a fork and giving it to her.
Candy ate it obediently and chuckled. Diego's phone rang, catching his attention.
"What?" Diego answered.
"Hey, something came up. The Spanish asshole is at it again. This time, he is doing something worse. We can't discuss this on the phone, in fact we might have to travel to Berlin soon to fix this" Jameson informed.
"Ah geez.. those bastards," Diego muttered. "I'll see you soon," the call ended afterward.
"It's about work right?" Candy spoke.
"Hm, don't worry about it," Diego said.
"It's been a week and you've been ignoring the company's complaints. I'll be sad if things go down" Candy said and Diego sighed.
"I'll be traveling tomorrow, I promise to fix this as soon as possible," He said.
"I'll also return to work tomorrow. I've missed everyone" She said.

On the next morning, Diego kissed Candy goodbye, he badly didn't want to leave. His stay with Candy had been the best. The same goes for Candy, she wished for him to stay but since he'll be back soon, she is going to wait.
In the plane, Diego flipped the documents in his hand.
Jameson walked to sit beside him, he checked his wristwatch and sighed.
"What took you so long?" Diego asked.
"I woke up late," Jameson lied. He had actually dealt with his sickness a little this morning.
"Hmm" Diego grunted, focusing on the file before him. It was the information about his enemies.
"So, you've finally realized your feelings," Jameson asked, adjusting his suit as he watched Diego give off a genuine smile.
"I'm crazy about her," Diego said and Jameson's expression changed for a moment but he composed himself immediately.

"How was your honeymoon, Mrs Gonzalez?" Yazmine walked into Candy's office with a smile.
"The best" Candy tilted her head with a beautiful grin.
"Tssk.. look how big you've become after a week" Yazmine teased.
"Stop it" Candy said and then chuckled. "Is it time to meet them?" She asked.
"Yeah, Aiden is waiting for us in the car already"
As Aiden drove, Candy checked out the information about the man they were going to meet. This man worked under the asshole troubling them in Berlin.
Candy's phone rang and a smile flashed on her face when she saw the name.
"Hey Di," Candy answered.
Hearing the nickname, Yazmine and Aiden cast each other a glance and chuckled.
"Wife, are you on your way there?" Diego asked.
"Hm, we just left the office. Are you in Berlin?" Candy replied.
"Yeah, we just got here. No matter what happens Candy, trust me okay? I'm everywhere" He said seriously.
"Sure"
While Candy was talking over the phone, Yazmine turned her gaze to Aiden, whose eyes were focused on the road. He hadn't been on her ever since they slept under this same roof.. wait, what was she thinking?
"Do you have something to tell me?" Aiden asked, noticing Yazmine's intense stare.
"Huh?.. uhm.. no" She answered, averting her gaze from him.
"You hardly reply to my messages" Aiden stated.
"I was just busy"
"After this, I need to tell you something," He said. Yazmine got curious about what he wanted to say.
