Husband With Benefits

"Who is the man that Alexander Sterling has been colluding with?" The man looked at Alpin Banfi Sr and sighed. It was a guess that he was making, but he couldn’t be sure.

"I believe the man is Demetri Frost, but I cannot be sure."

"What do you mean you cannot be sure? You’ve been by Alexander Sterling’s side for years! Don’t forget I’ve paid you for years without asking for any information, only for you to be able to win his trust! And now when I need crucial information, you are giving me these vague answers! You wouldn’t be where you are, living this comfortable life if I had not paid off those goons whom your father had sold you to! It is time for you to pay me back Robert!"

Robert sighed as he looked at the man in front of him. All these years, as he’d worked for Alexander Sterling, he’d dreaded this day. The day he would have to show his loyalty to the man who had saved him from he** at the cost of harming someone who had helped him make his life what it was today.

But a promise was a promise. And he knew once he had given up this information, his time here in Estania would be up. He only hoped that the man who was behind all this would be able to stop Alpin Banfi Sr from doing what he wanted.

With a sigh, he spoke, " Mr. Banfi. You’ve contacted me almost too late. Do you remember I sent a warning to you last year, when Princess Eleanora was brought here? I told you that you shouldn’t have interfered with her."

"Of course I remember. But I don’t need those warnings? What has she been able to do even after coming here? Even if she has been of no use to me like I planned, she has been of no help to that Sterling. At least she has made some trouble for that man!"

"But it is not Eleanora that you needed to fear! It was the Demon behind her!" Robert spoke harshly. This foolish man. He’d tried his best to warn him against the upcoming storm but he’d ignored the warning. And now that they were in the eye of the storm, he wanted to look for a way out.

"Stop talking in ridiculous riddles and be straight!"

"Eleanora was married to a man called Demon Frost! When your people attacked the private yacht, and followed your orders to get rid of him, they invited trouble for you!"

"Frost? Demon Frost? He is the CEO of the Frost Industries, isn’t he? The ones that Sterling is collaborating with? Is that why the Frosts are being so nice to Estania? Why did you not tell me directly?"
