巡回检察组全集

The villa was neither too close to the center of the city, nor far. The locality was rather silent. Hence the price wasn't sky high despite it being a private regency.

The villa had a spacious outdoor area with a swimming pool. There were five rooms. The two were on the ground floor, one was suitable for the study room and another for the guest room. The upper floor had spacious rooms with minimal closet facilities. Both the floors had a living area to entertain the guests or have a good family time.

What Anya loved the most was the terrace, it was unique and well planned. The villa had a minimalistic interior design that wasn't hard to maintain.

Anya could imagine her son growing up in the villa at ease without difficulties. Everything was so well made for her that she can even imagine her old age… with Alvin.

Shaking off her wild thoughts, she sat on the couch in the living room where Earl was waiting for them.

Although the size of the whole villa was smaller than the secondary living hall of his mansion, Alvin eerily liked the villa for his Little Donut. It suited her personality well. Hence he sat down without troubling her.

"Mommy, Mommy…" The excited voice of Zane sounded from the center courtyard that linked to the swimming pool.

He stopped in front of her and asked eagerly, "Momma, did you like the villa?" His expression and voice were enough to say he was in love with the villa, just like her.

"Looks like… We like the same villa." Anya mused and high-fived her son.

Zane nodded vigorously, "I promise I will be careful with the glass interior and don't go to the terrace carelessly." The terrace didn't have the railings, so he made her worry-free about it.

Anya chuckled. She was thinking if everything fits, she will install a protective glass or handrail on the terrace. She hugged him, before sending him to look around.

"Earl, how did you find this place?" He was a busy man after all.

Earl closed the file he was checking. "You are lucky." She indeed was. He had asked his staff to get him a list of villas according to her requirement, however, the papers of this villa were right on his desk.

Alvin's uninterested face darkened. 'How dare he flirts with his little donut right in front of me?'

Anya didn't get Earl's words so she looked at him in confusion. Earl explained to her, "We have taken up a new venture in the hotel management. We are buying villas, penthouses, and also condos to rent out to the customers on a daily rent basis."

Anya smiled, realizing Earl took the villa from their list and offered it to her. "Then I will be a bit shameless." Since it wasn't for his living but for business, Anya didn't mind accepting his generosity.

Earl was already happy she was willing to accept his help. So he came down to the important part, "I think this is a bit over your budget." He pushed the file towards her.

Alvin controlled his urge to interrupt. He was planning to contact the owner of the villa and pay him some amount and pretend that the owner agreed to a lower amount during the negotiation.

Anya looked at the file and the amount mentioned. Indeed the price was out of her budget. If she buys the villa, she couldn't afford to furnish the home immediately and all her savings will be broken.

"Bank loan!?" She looked at Earl. To complete the procedure of a bank loan, she will need the signature of the owner on some papers.

Alvin could only sigh to himself hearing her. He was sitting right there and she was thinking of loans. He looked at Earl because even that man could afford the villa so he was curious how he would deal with it.

Earl knows Anya too well. If he does something behind her back, then she would never trust him or accept any kind of help from him. Upon that, she would give up on the villa rather than accept the financial help that wasn't necessary. "There is another problem."

Anya deadpanned. Not just her, even her son loved the place, she hoped she wouldn't disappoint him again.

"The owner of the villa is settled in the foreign. He will arrive only one day to sign the final papers. He is expecting one full payment."

Anya's face fell. Because she is yet to sell her old house. And it was impossible for her to pay such a large amount in one payment. Her gaze went out where Zane was looking around on the lawn. He smiled as soon as their eyes met. her son would understand her if she says she couldn't afford but she should be the one to understand him.

Earl was aware of her situation. He was ready to get her the villa in the form of lending money. But… He felt inappropriate when her billionaire boyfriend was sitting right there.

Anya looked at Alvin who hadn't complained to her even once. Then she looked at Earl, "Earl, give me a minute." Anya rose from her seat and grabbed Alvin's hand and tugged him to the guest room.

Earl didn't get to respond. He watched them as a bleak smile appeared on his face. He shook off his thought and signaled the little guy to get inside.

Alvin was surprised she was willing to ask him for help. That was a great improvement. He silently followed her, more than eager to solve her problems.

"Lend me a lot of money."

Alvin almost chuckled hearing her speak like a little girl asking for lots of money to buy dresses and chocolates. He probed playfully, "What will I get in return?"

Anya shrugged her shoulders, "I will return it with an interest." She didn't tell him that she was going to prepare the papers for it.

Alvin's lips twitched. He should have known this woman was too uptight with herself. "Do you think I am lacking money?"

He pretended to be leaving in displeasure and she caught him. He wasn't lacking money so he won't take an interest. She gave in, "I will let you lodge here."

Alvin's face turned dark at her thought process, "Do I have to pay to stay with you?"

'Right.' But she didn't know what to give him in return. "Then what do you want?"

"Daily interest." He smugly responded.

​ Anya was dumbfounded. Paying interest every day? She will be left with no penny. Was he expecting her to depend on him?  "Are you trying to eat me pooo…"

The rest of the word muffled against his lips when he caught her lips. He sucked on them as if squeezing them dry. His tongue plunged into her mouth and tugged her tongue into his mouth, causing her to mewl, clutching his shirt.

He let go of her and pecked on her lips looking at her dazed. "That's the daily interest." His husky deep voice woke her from the haze.

"Huh!?" She couldn't fathom his words even after coming to her senses. Her mind just wandered around the kiss and the delicious sensations of it.

After a few seconds, she palmed her face and composed herself. Alright, she couldn't argue with the man or win on him.

"No need to find the buyer for your previous house. Write it to my name and return the pending amount." That way she will have one less work to do.

Anya tilted her head. It was a small villa and of no use to him, "What will you…"

Alvin cut her off, "Do I have to report to you about my business too?" He challenged her. If she responded as yes, he was going to throw her over his shoulder and bring her to the marriage bureau.

Anya snorted. He kisses her the first minute and mocks her the next minute, "Fine, I will find the market price of the villa." She wasn't going to sell a penny higher than that if he was the buyer.

Alvin wanted to rebuff. He was thinking of bringing up many reasons and putting a high value on the villa to avoid taking money from her. Well, it was better than hearing her rejection.

Just like that, both compromised for each other without realizing it and came to a conclusion.

Anya rewarded the man with a kiss on his cheek and went out of the guest room happily, "Earl, thank you. I will buy the villa."

By the end of her words, Zane cheered loudly, "Yayy…" which brought smiles to their faces.

The three men were satisfied when they left the villa whereas Anya started planning how and where she could save money and which expenses could wait without breaking her emergency funds.

Alvin got in the car thinking if they should have dinner in a restaurant as it was five. His mobile rang, shifting his attention away. He answered Rob's call, [Boss, Gianna Sallow is at the Owen family house.]

Alvin gritted his teeth. With his attacks on the Sallow family, how could he forget that Gianna would reach for their weakness?

He looked at Anya who was happily speaking with Earl. "I don't care what you do. Stop her."
