Husband With Benefits

"Augustus, please stop this. Your being too edgy. Everything is going to be fine."

Augustus glared at his friend," You are foolish if you think this is going to be so easy. I’m telling you that man she has by her side is definitely her guard not some lover. He was the one responsible for how I ended up in the ditch. And If he catches a whiff of our plan, I’m scared that I might end up in a coffin this time..."

The young man laughed out loud at that and shook his head, " You are thinking too much. Your falling int the ditch was merely an accident. And even if he is her guard, it makes no difference to us, Augustus. He cannot possibly reach here in this private room."

Augustus shook his head and suddenly felt very scared. At this moment, he remembered his own late mother’s advise," Don’t trust him. If need be he will throw you to the wolves."

Augustus had always treated Alpin as a friend but tonight he had a feeling...

"Alpin... there has to be another way. I am not..."

"Stop being a chicken, Alpin. She’s here. And she is alone. You’re just nervous because you actually like her. Don’t worry. After tonight, she will belong to you one way or the other."

Augustus wanted to refute that but before he could, the door to the private room opened and a young woman walked in. He watched as she walked over to Alpin and whispered something in his ear that caused the man’s fact to tighten with anger.

"What is it Alpin? Is something the matter?"

"Nothing, Augustus. Just calm down. She is being guided here. I’ll be back in a moment. Here, have a drink to calm your nerves."

As Alpin handed Augustus the drink, Augustus failed to see the malice in his eyes. Taking the glass from him, he drank the liquid in one go as Alpin smiled," Thats better. Now go and sit on the couch and relax. We’ll succeed soon."

Rubbing a hand over his face, Augustus nodded and went to sit on the corner of the L-shaped couch in the room. Alpin nodded and excused himself," I’m going to go and welcome her now."
