Chapter 25: End Up Dead
This was a gamble. Rain knew that if she didn’t appear before Alexander as Rain Clayton, it would only confirm his suspicion that Twilight and Rain were the same person. However, that really didn’t matter right now because tonight, she had the perfect opportunity to plant all the spy cams and bugs she wanted in the vacant lounge rooms using Alexander as cover.
As a part of her plan, she needed Alexander to be engrossed and interested in her, so she continued to deny that she was Rain Clayton and insisted that she was Diana Jones. Noticing how he had been gulping often despite the frown on his face, Rain kept up her seductive dance to keep him captivated. He looked annoyed at her, sure, and yet he couldn’t take his eyes off her either.
Seeing her work, Rain’s smirk only deepened, and she took another daring step closer, her eyes locked onto his. "Will you let me finish my performance now? I heard you paid a fortune for this," she seductively insisted as she continued to sway her body in front of him. "It’s only natural to let me bring worth to what you paid for."
She would never dare to do this before him as Rain Clayton. Thankfully, she was Twilight for the night, and she was committed to whatever disguise she used for every case Brandon led that she was involved in.
In front of her, Alexander’s jaw tightened, his patience obviously wearing thin. "This isn’t over," he grumbled. "I’ll find out the truth sooner or later."
Rain only smiled in response, her eyes glinting with a mix of amusement and challenge. "I’m sure you will, Mr. Lancaster," she said, her voice soft yet filled with finality. "But until then, why don’t you just relax and enjoy the show?"
She chuckled upon seeing how his face blushed at her words. She then turned around, after which she heard him grunt to himself.
"Damn this!"
Before she knew it, Alexander had already pulled her to him, making her sit on his lap. His face was now too close to hers for her liking, and her eyes widened when she felt his lips against hers.
