1 THE MISSION (1)

Angel's Cruise Line

The upper deck of Angel's Cruise Line usually is not well lit in ordinary times. But because there's a celebration tonight for business people and socialites, it is well decorated with different flowers. Some guests are busy in the two-story balcony surrounding the cruise ship's deck, and some guests are with their wines and women in a vast bean pool in the middle. Red carpet to welcome each guest with staff ushering them to their respective seats.

Athena Cruz, a.k.a Bea Cruz, is seated at the main entrance, vigilantly watching each guest coming in. This will be Athena's last mission before she retires. Yes, she planned on retiring to focus on herself. She's been wandering all over the place to complete each task assigned to her, and she's done with it unless they will give her something locally. But wait, locally? Where is it? As far as she remembers, she's not a local in any country. She doesn't even know where she came from, and with her line of work, she has a lot of fake nationalities.

Her childhood memory started when she was twelve years old. Beyond that, she doesn't know anything. Revenge for her parent's death is the only thing she remembered. She consumed herself with the idea of avenging them that she forgot about herself, and retiring is her solution.

Athena's eyes lit up when she saw her target coming in with a woman holding his arm, whispering something to him. She discreetly follows them without blinking an eye to their table.

"The parrot is in," she said while looking around, ensuring his bodyguards were far away. She's been following him here and there, and finally, this man settled on the cruise ship for days, giving them a chance to make a plan to deal with him.

"Honey, I'll go to the powder room," his companion said seductively.

"Be fast, honey," he replied, kissing her on her cheek.

When Athena Cruz saw his companion far from them, she took advantage of it. She walked towards him, swaying her hips. She made sure that he could see her.

"Hi, handsome! Alone?" She said sweetly. She grabbed a wine from the waiter in front of her and took a sip.

He's been paying attention to her since she started walking in his direction. The way she swayed her hips from left to right caught his attention.

"Yes, beauty. Would you like to accompany me?" He winked at her.

"My pleasure," she smiled.

"Do you have a room?" Athena sat on his lap and played with his tie. She knows Anton Baltazar's weakness and uses it against him. Anton smiled widely and signaled one of his bodyguards closer to him to follow them.

They left the party and headed to his room. The hallway in the VIP suites is much broader than the other hallways in the cruise ship. The soft light in the passage makes the atmosphere romantic for lovers, but not for them because they both have a hidden agenda with each other.

He started making advances on her immediately after they walked out of the party, which she discreetly avoided.

"Handsome, I don't know your name yet," she said sheepishly.

"I'll let you know on my bed," he whispered. His warm breath that touches Athena's ear gives her a sense of irritation, but she has to tolerate it.

"You smell so good," he's been sniffing her since she sat on his lap earlier. Her smell is different from all the women he had on his bed. And he can't wait to have her soon.

"Oh, you're naughty," she flirted with him but cursed him inside. She hated how he touched and sniffed her, but she had to endure it for her mission. She looked around before entering his suite, ensuring that his bodyguards were far away. She saw two on each side of the hallway's entrance, and she gave them a playful wink. They were both stunned but lowered their heads, immediately concealing their emotion. As soon as Anton and Athena entered the room, the bodyguards followed, waited, and listened outside the door for precaution. They already predict that their boss won't need them soon, but they do not intend to leave just yet.

"W-wait, handsome, let me do it for you..." She said, slowly untying his necktie teasing him.

"You're playing with fire beauty," he whispered and spanked her butt.

"Ohhh," she said while tempting him but holding her anger within. She knew that his bodyguards were outside the door, so she tried to calm herself and play with him a little longer.

She pushed him on the bed and continued removing his clothes slowly. He tried to remove her clothes, but she stopped him.

"I want to see your body first, handsome," she said sheepishly, sliding her point finger from his lips down to his chest then circling it around his nipple.

"You'll have it hard, beauty," he replied playfully. He wants to get further with this woman, but he must be patient to have it sweeter later.

Her face is plastered with a sweet smile while she removes his upper clothes continuously. Then, she removes his belt. She could see his manhood getting hard underneath his pants, making her feel shy. She tried to condition herself that it was related to her work. That's why she's doing this. If not, she probably kicked his asset hard already with all those advances he did. That's why she's doing this.

"I'm ready for you..." He said in a husky voice. Anton never let a chance slip away from his hands to sleep with women who show any hint of an initiative to him. It's one of the reasons why his uncle wasn't pleased with him, but he doesn't care.

"I know," she replied with a sweet smile plastered on her face trying to give him the most adorable smile she could give amidst her anger. But she really can't hold it anymore.

A few minutes later, the bodyguards heard a loud groan coming from their boss and a moan from the woman. The bodyguards looked at each other and shook their heads. Their boss is fast when it comes to women.

"Aargh!" he groaned. "You... b- aargh..." His bodyguards nodded at each other, taking the noise inside to signal them to leave them alone.

"Humph! You deserve it, pervert!" He's lucky that he just lost consciousness. Other guys who took advantage of her ended up in the hospital. Well, he might, too, when his bodyguards found him.

Athena got up and walked swiftly to the door removing her flashy red gown, revealing a tight all-black sleeveless V-neck shirt and pants made of leather. When Anton was about to tear her clothes, her instinct to protect herself kicked in. She bent her left knee and hit his manhood as hard as possible.
