It was already dusk when the call came in. The knots in my stomach eased up a little and I smiled at the Eriez who's also been patiently waiting for a call from his subordinates.

"They got Claire," I announced happily.

He paused from having a sip of his tea and straightened his lab gown.

"Good... But will Zhio take the bait?"

"Ha! I'm confident about the drug I gave him. He'll not be able to resist his desires,"

Although I'm a lawyer, I know different kinds of aphrodisiacs and party drugs mixed in drinks. After all, Eriez is a doctor. He should know better about these substances.

"The game is tied."

He gave me a sideway glance.

"I don't want to be at the bad side of Zel Cantheliz if we fail at this."  

"What about Claire?" Eriez always have questions to bug me with.

"You sure about this? About Zhio possibly getting her pregnant after?"

"She's not a problem. Both of them would not be able to resist what is bound to happen."

I can't help but laugh at the idea and it didn't took long for this smart man to guess I placed a camera in Zhio's room.

"You really didn't prepare for this," Eriez said sarcastically. "Sly"

"We better have proof," I smiled as I waited for my men to bring in Claire.

(ZHIO)

Everything was in pitch black when I came to consciousness, awoken by the breeze biting at my skin. It took a while for my eyes to adjust in the darkness but just a second for me to realize I was in sleeping robes. I fumbled for the lamp in the nightstand and fell on the floor, tipsy from the liquor I had.  

Only when I stood up to get back to sleep did I realize her presence, lying comfortably asleep at the other side of my bed. She looked like someone I know…like Claire. I squinted intently to see if I was dreaming. Or if it was the alcohol.  

My body felt suddenly hotter. Unwittingly I was staring hardly at her lips, pushing back the desire to kiss them.  I did and gave in to temptation I never had known was deep within me. The woman, whoever she was, responded with similar intensity.

I couldn't help but think of Claire as our bodies touched intimately and wished it was true.  

I wished it was Claire.
