Is this destiny?

Aiden exited the bathroom, wearing his black uniform and he returned Sarah\'s smile.

"Ready?", Aiden asked.

Sarah was about to confirm, when she remembered Meili.

She glanced at Meili and frowned when she saw that the girl is staring at Aiden with hearts in her eyes. Sarah was frustrated. How dares she covet Aiden? Well, Aiden is handsome and it\'s understandable that he will attract the attention of females, but they just saved Meili and she knows that Sarah and Aiden are married, so other than knowing that he is taken, shouldn\'t Meili feel indebted? Humble? Or maybe in shock that she was almost assaulted less than half an hour ago?

Sarah sighed. Sometimes people\'s minds work in ways that she can\'t comprehend. 

Sarah moved to block Meili\'s view of Aiden. "Don\'t leave this room. When it\'s safe, someone wearing this uniform will come. If you leave the room before that, I can\'t guarantee your safety. Do you understand?"

Meili swallowed hard and nodded.

Sarah turned to Aiden and her expression softened. "I\'m ready."

The two of them moved toward each other and stopped half a step away. In matching movements, they put their masks on. Their smiles were almost identical, and the gleam in their eyes showed how much they are enjoying this. Together.

Sarah glanced at Akmal who was staring at them with his eyes open so wide that they formed almost perfect circles.

Sarah inched closer to Aiden, while her eyes didn\'t leave Akmal. "I think that he figured out who we are."

"I told you that it was the clothes.", he reminded her smugly.

Akmal thought that something is off when Sarah appeared in the black uniform. There is a sign on her chest pocket, but she is too far away for him to see it. However, when Sarah and Aiden stood next to each other with their masks on, he realized that he is facing two people from the Army of Chaos.

The stories he heard about them and how they operate flashed in his mind and he thought that he will pass out from anxiety.

Akmal could not move or speak and the only thing he wanted to do was to run and scream. Akmal never felt so helpless, and even when Sarah and Aiden left the room he could not calm down.

Akmal\'s eyes moved to Meili, unsure if he can use her to get out of his predicament. She is a physically attractive girl (that is why he picked her to come to his bedroom from the basement), and she does not look very smart. How can she be smart if she is still openly ogling at Aiden after being warned by him to stop? Doesn\'t Meili know that by looking at him she is playing a game with death?

As much as Akmal hates females, he believes that he can use Meili. Maybe he can promise her that as long as she helps him out of this predicament, he will help her get together with Aiden? However, he can\'t move or speak so the only thing he could do is blink and open his mouth while grimacing in an attempt to get her attention.

Unfortunately for Akmal, Meili\'s eyes were focused on the closed door while images of Aiden flashed in front of her eyes.

…

The operation went as planned. Ernesto and the army members swiftly overpowered Akmal\'s men who were patrolling the property, they captured staff and bodyguards who were inside two houses in the back. After that, they shoot two gunshots in the air to attract the attention of Akmal\'s men from the inside. Drones helped out in taking care of everyone who rushed out and stayed on the first level, while Sarah and Aiden took advantage of the commotion and promptly took care of the six guards which were stationed in the basement.

"We don\'t have the time to release the girls.", Sarah told Aiden. "The customer will be here in a few minutes."

Aiden agreed with Sarah. "Let\'s welcome the customer, and the girls will need to wait."

Both Sarah and Aiden were curious about who Akmal\'s two customers are because their names were not mentioned in Akmal\'s schedule. They assumed it\'s someone powerful, definitely someone with a lot of money. Services of buying underaged women who are \'unspoiled\' can\'t be cheap.

Ernesto instructed the army of Chaos to pull Akmal\'s men out of sight. As soon as Akmal\'s men were tied up, they were replaced by the people from the army of Chaos who removed their masks and patrolled the area while acting as Akmal\'s bodyguards.

Black Cadillac Escalade arrived smoothly to a stop in front of the main entrance of the mansion and a tall man in a sharp suit alighted from the front passenger\'s seat to open the back door. Two seconds later, a man in his mid-forties cam out and frowned at the sight of Aiden and Sarah standing at the door.

"Where is Akmal?", the man asked suspiciously without moving away from the car.

Eve-lens told Sarah and Aiden that they are facing Brant Dunn, a politician from the Nevada state who is running for the Senate in the upcoming elections.

"The boss is busy.", Aiden responded. "He is… sampling the goods and told me to show you inside. He will join you soon."

Mr. Dunn relaxed and followed after Aiden with his bodyguard (the man who opened the car door for him). Sarah was two steps after them.

"How long it will take?", Mr. Dunn asked Aiden when they entered the living room.

"I am not sure. Boss is in there for a while. If you wish, I can show you the goods and you can pick while Boss arrives."

Mr. Dunn licked his lips and smiled in approval. "That sounds good."

They were halfway down the hallway when Mr. Dunn and his bodyguard slumped on the floor listlessly. Neither of them had a chance to react before they lost consciousness.

Two army members of the Army of Chaos took care of the driver and moved the Cadillac Escalade behind the villa.

"We have more than half an hour until the next customer comes.", Sarah told Aiden when they dragged Mr. Dunn and his bodyguard in the closest room.

Sarah glanced around and grinned. "This is the study!"

Aiden knew that she is looking for the safe and based on her lit up expression, he could accurately pinpoint the moment when she found it hidden in the in-built cabinetry.

"The girls…", Aiden reminded Sarah.

"Oh, right.", Sarah\'s mood visibly dropped. "Let\'s go and rescue the girls."

"Don\'t forget the one upstairs." Aiden gave another reminder.

Sarah paused when she confirmed that she didn\'t imagine the iciness in Aiden\'s tone when he spoke about Meili and that can mean only one thing... "She made a move on you?"

"She will eventually." Aiden had no intention of hiding this from Sarah. He knows how this goes: the spark is lit up and the infatuation only grows. If he is warm toward Meili, she will take that as his acceptance, and if he is cold, she will see him as a cool guy, like some kind of idol. In either case, she will not stop willingly and that can\'t be good (for Meili).

Sarah nodded in understanding. "She will not get a chance. We will send her back to her family. Until then… three female members arrived with Ernesto. Let\'s get them to take care of Meili and the two of us will head to the basement."
