Kaiden wanted to take over, but Holt begged him not to. " Calm down, Kaiden, not until we find out she's from our kind," he said in his head. Kaiden wasn't happy about the turn of things, but he decided to wait. After Holt sensed his wolf go to the back of his head, he returned his scrutinizing gaze to Mia.
Meanwhile, Mia still lay on his bed, innocently looking up at him but she was cooking up plans on how to complete the mission and get out of there. She was thinking hard when she noticed lust cross his eyes but it was quickly covered up by nonchalance.
Mia was uncomfortable with that look but what could she do? There was no time to lose, squinting her gaze at him, she gave him a sultry smile and then pretended to bite her lips.
She gently tugged at his clothes and said " I'm feeling a bit cold sir, can you warm me up ", she shyly looked down to make her story more believable, actually, from the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of the documents on his table.
Holt was confused, he wouldn't accept it if his Mate was a whore. Although the urge to be with her was simply unbearable, " this bond thing was not to be joked with ", he thought. Cursing inwardly, he proceeded to lay down beside her while covering her with most of the blanket.
Mia drew closer to him, taking the opportunity to slide her hands around his torso while squeezing herself up, this action stiffened Holts. He abruptly felt tingles all over from the contact and he wondered if she felt it too.
Gradually, he felt heat rising in his abdomen, his wolf begging to be released. Holt tossed and turned uncomfortably on the bed, he made an effort to calm himself down but all efforts proved abortive when he felt like losing it. He whispered into her ear, "I need to take a cold bath, I'll be right back ". Mia just hummed, pretending that she was deeply asleep.
As Mia felt the bathroom door close, she immediately jumped back into action mode. Firstly, she needed to buy enough time, walking over to the bathroom door, she removed his bathrobe and bolted the door from outside. Secondly, she walked over to the files, opened and checked them just to be sure and lastly, she needed to wipe away evidence.
Mia put on a set of gloves and set to work, she found some detergent and a cloth with which she used to clean up the few places she couldn't avoid touching. Things like his shirt, she completely took that one though, the door handle and the rest of it.
She was through with all these in just three minutes, grabbing the file alongside his shirt and bedsheets, she walked out of the room and also bolted the door from the outside.
As she walked calmly through the hallway, she contacted Gia, who was already done with her task and was waiting for her at the bush close to Vogue Vibes.
As Gia saw Mia walking towards their hideout, she rushed over and began asking a myriad of questions "What took you so long M?, was Holts that difficult?, hope he did nothing to you.
The twins used the first letter of their names to form a code name, it was either M or G. Mia smiled at her assuring her sister that nothing out of the ordinary happened but they needed to leave the surrounding area as soon as possible. With this said, they got into the black sports car and Gia zoomed off.
Holts was too busy contemplating if he should have his way with her or give her some time but the urge was getting worse. He didn't realize that the door had been locked, till he made the decision to give her some time.
He zipped up his trousers and tried to open the door, only to realize it was locked from the outside. Confused, he tried calling "his mate", it was at this point he regretted not asking for her name.
He banged and knocked on the door, hoping she would hear and come to open it "Or was she already asleep " he thought. He had knocked for over five minutes yet no reply so he decided to break it open with his legs even if it meant waking her up, there was nothing he could do.
He lifted his right foot, bracing himself for the impact, and lounged it forward. He only repeated it twice when the door came down with a loud bang. To his surprise, what met his eyes was an empty room, his bathrobe, clothes, bedsheets, and blanket all gone.
Holt stood there half-naked and speechless, "was she that cheap? " he thought, shaking his head, "then I'm going to spoil her " smiling to himself at the thought of being with his mate. "she was so beautiful with long blonde hair and blue eyes, her lips literally drive me crazy".
Meanwhile, Alexander just woke up from his deep slumber on the floor, he wasn't sure how he ended up there and then it came rushing back.
The sexy girl, the bed, he had almost kissed her when she suddenly hit her palm on the crook of his neck, but how did he land on the floor? Adjusting his neck, he felt that it still hurt until his mind subconsciously drifted back to his deal with Holts.
His lips curled up proudly, not everyone could partner with Holt Enterprise. Alexander stood up to inspect the document once more but something was seriously wrong, he had carefully put it down before attending to the girl….. " yes the girl " he thought, it was her plan all along and he completely fell for it. Reaching for his phone but he couldn't find it too, "the bitch had taken it ", he cursed.
None of his bodyguards were around as he had sent them back last night. " was this Holt's doing?" His brain explored a wide range of options but he still couldn't figure out who would want that document.
Gathering up courage, he went over to Holt's suite only to find it locked, but as he turned around to go look for a way to contact him, he heard the supposed locked door, twisting its knob. Alexander jumped back in fright, " was there a ghost in Holts's suite ?" he asked himself, and that was when he heard a low "shit, she locked this too!!".
Holt felt frustrated when he realized the main door was also locked from the outside, just as he was about to call his guards, the door miraculously opened. Revealing a " not well-looking Alexander ", Holts almost burst out laughing at his expression but kept it in. " what's wrong Mr Alex" he casually asked, walking back to his suite. Alexander went straight to the point "My document of the deal, I can't find it, are you behind this, Mr Holt".
That seemed strange but he hadn't also seen his since last night and didn't bother to check it, rushing over to the spot on his table where he was sure he had left it last night but it was nowhere to be found. Then he realized he had been played, locking him in was just to buy enough time, and taking his things was to wipe evidence, especially of her fingerprints.
Holt resisted the urge to let his wolf take over, he had been deceived the second time by his mate again while all he could think about was to give her a good life. He turned back to Alex, " I can't see mine either, that bitch ", he cursed. Alex was kind of relieved "You were with a bitch too" he asked Holt, looking amused. Holt ignored the question, "Who do you think is behind this" he asked instead.
Alex looked at him solemnly "I'm afraid I have no idea". Holt fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed Roy's number "Come to my suite right now ", he ended the call. His eyes lit up "Let's check the surveillance footage, maybe we'll find something ".
Alex shook his head "It was tampered with, whoever did this, has a very strong backing, I'm afraid the fight won't be easy Mr. Holt".
