Comments and criticism welcomed. Description in certain areas
might not be good. My first attempt with a twisting plot. Thanx.

Devils Own
The waves splashing onto the shore could be heard as Van awake.
Reynar was still sleeping by her side. Van got up from the bed, put
on her robe and went into the balcony. The sea breeze was already
messing up her hair, but the feeling was refreshing.
Van went to Reynars side, gave him a gentle peck on his cheek and
when she turned around he hugged her by surprise. They playfully
fought for a while. Alright, that is enough. I need to wash up.
Its getting late, Reynar said, we shall continue with this
tonight. With a wink, he went into the bathroom.
She strode into the walk in wardrobe and took out his favorite
suit. Van could hear him singing in his shower, as she picked out
her clothes. She laid his suit on the armchair, and went into the
kitchen to fix him some breakfast.
Coffee and toast were ready when he finally got dressed. He gave
her a peck on her cheek and left for work about half an hour later.
She turned on the audio system and went to wash up.
Wearing his oversized tee shirt, she went into the study room, and
look through her materials. Working in an event management company,
Van only has to report to work when there are projects on hand. The
current event that shes organizing will be held in a new
club.
This events publicity caught the attention of the public. The
event is the launching of the new club. With the hire of part time
dancers as the crew of the night, she would expect a lot of men to
come to the event. However, Van would want women to be interested
in the programs, so she gave the instructions that ladies enter the
club for free. The highlighted program in the club is that, on all
Wednesdays, only singles are allowed into the club. The club would
be divided into 2 sections for the individual sexes. From there on,
the host of the night; would pick out 5 of the most eligible man,
and one female who is being selected from a box full of their
names. A series of entertainment will be carried out. For those
that were not selected, they are free to mingle around after the
entertainment.
The company approved this plan within 3 days and the preparation of
it took months. Surveys, marketing research and the facility
itself, have brought her and fellow colleagues much headache.
Van called up her colleagues, Joshua and Mel for a last meeting
back at the office in 2 hours time. She then wore her favorite
white cotton sleeveless top, Mango pinstripe pants and blazer. As
she was getting ready, the phone rang. Reynars voice was on the
other side, Darling, Ill be going partying with my colleagues
tonight, so will be home late. She replied, Ok, Ill be working
late as well, so see you in the morning.
When they got married half a year ago, they came to a compromise
not to ask each other about their work. As her job consists of
certain information not to be divulge, she do not bring work home
unless necessary. Reynar serves the army in a special confidential
unit. He, too, have many information not to be shared with anyone
including his wife. Thats where the compromise comes in.
Van drove her black Mitsubishi Lancer to the office. Her superior
greeted her as she entered the spacious, futuristic décor of her
office. Van, thats a great proposal for tonights event. I dont
care how you handle it; I want it to be the talk in town. Ramie
said, with a smile. Ramie, Ive been in the company for 4 years,
and youve seen my work. Have I ever let you down? she inquired
with a raised eyebrow. He winked and left.
About 5 minutes later, Joshua and Mel arrived in Vans office. They
went through some important points again, and contacted the
necessary departments that everything is going well.
Its about 2 hours once the meeting is over and the time is 6pm.
They decided to go for dinner and head straight down to the club.
The launch is to take place at 9pm sharp. They went to the deli
across the street.
The club was still quiet when the team got there. All the logistics
and operations staff has arrived, awaiting orders from Joshua and
Mel. Vans only there to supervise and manage the event.
The club, named Devils Own, is well known among all the youngsters
and the executive crowd. With the area of about half a football
field, it has 5 bars and 2 dance floors. It had an additional wine
bar on the second level where they play jazz instead of club
music.
The reporters have swarmed in around the club at about 7.30pm, just
in time to set up their equipment. The crowd starts coming in at
about 8, all clad in their best. Special guests came with their
invitation cards were directed to a special chamber in the club
reserved for them. They include higher management staff from the
media, the advertising industry, the lawyers, bankers, and some
well-known traders. These special guests are not eligible to join
the entertainment later on, due to their prominent status. Who
knows what the reporters would be writing if they
participate.
This is going to turn out to be the best event of the year.
Joshua claims excitedly. Relax dude, this is going to be, if your
coordination is good. Van smiled at him. She was seated in the bar
with the managing director, Simon, looking at the great response.
Van, you are doing a really good job, Ive no regrets engaging
your company. He was grinning from ear to ear. She sipped her wine
and smiled confidently.
She signaled Mel, to come over when hes engaged in a conversation
with the door bitch, Amber. Hey, youre supposed to be screening
the crowd and liaise with the bouncers to do crowd control, and not
to hit on to that girl. You can do that after the event. Van
reprimanded. Mel nodded his head and apologized. He always listened
to her like an elder sister. The important thing is he obeys
instructions. He would make a good soldier the thought suddenly
crosses her mind.
Hey Van, I think its time we do our socializing with the special
guests in the VIP chamber. Simon whispered into her ear. She
nodded and he took her hand into his arms.
Upon entering the VIP chamber, Van saw many familiar faces such as
Mr. Steiner from Global Entertainment Enterprises; Miss Jade from
the Lawyers Association; Mr. Dennis, the advertising tycoon; and
several others. They exchange formalities and engaged in several
conversations. The time is 8.30pm. Van excused herself to supervise
the launch.
She then went to get hold of Joshua, who is in charge of the
entertainment sector of the launch as well. Are the dancers and
the host of the night here yet? she asked as they walked to the
dressing room. Yes, alls well. Just waiting for the countdown.
Joshua replied.
The first program of the night is the host introducing the
highlights of the night, the dancers performance. The second
program would be the launch of Devils Own with Simon introducing
what the club is about. Then the most awaited game, the host will
pick out 5 guys for one lucky lady to choose.
As the launch took place, Van went around the club, socializing
with the VIPs and the management of the club. The launch was very
successful. After the event, it was about 4 in the morning. They
tidy up, and sent everyone packing up the equipment. As Van had
been drinking, she called Reynar up.
Darling, are you able to fetch me home? she asked. Alright,
where are you? Ill take a cab down. He replied. Van gave him the
address and he arrived in 15 minutes. She left orders to Joshua and
Mel, and told them to take a rest tomorrow.
Reynar took her bag and placed it in the boot and Van got into the
car. On the way home, she could see that Reynars mind was thinking
about something else. Are you ok? she asked with concern. Im
fine, baby, maybe a little tired. Reynar replied.
When Van got into the office the next day, there were quite a few
bouquets of flowers on her desk. Caught by surprise, she asked her
secretary who send them. Not sure though. All delivered by the
florist. Cards are in them, Lena replied.
She then took out one card and it read, It was great having you
around last night, terrific party. Good work. Yours sincerely,
Simon. Van called him at his office and thanked him for the
flowers. He insisted to have lunch with her and will pick her up.
There was no reason to reject.
Reynar was training his platoon to be the best in the upcoming
marksman competition. He was thinking of what happened the night
before and he was glad he did the right thing.
He was having drinks with his army friends at a wine bar. A lady
who is around her early twenties entered the bar, turning numerous
heads. Gorgeous and breathtaking, shes indeed beautiful. Sitting
alone and sipping her wine, a few young men approached her. She
rejected them straight away. Reynar was paying quite some attention
to her. Tilting her head up, she saw Reynar looking at her and gave
a seductive smile. Reynar smiled and turn back to his group of
friends.
To their surprise, she came over and introduced herself as Violet
and asked to be seated with them. As shes the only female and the
guys were all married, Reynar declined her. With a smile, she said,
No problem.
The night with the boys ended quite early and he was getting into
the car, Violet appeared in front of his car. She suggested that
Reynar give her a lift home. Sensing some hidden agenda, Reynar
told her firmly, Im happily married and I wouldnt want to do
something hurtful to my wife. All I can do for you is to help you
fetch a taxi. Violets face changed, and said, You really do not
know how to appreciate beautiful woman, do you? Im ending this
conversation now. With that, he drove away.
Reynar was not a man easily tempted by beauty, wealth and fame. He
was very satisfied to have Van as his wife, nothing and nobody
could take that away from him. He had very much want to tell Van
about the incident when he went to fetch her home, however he
decided not to.
He decided to call Van and asked her out for dinner. Although both
of them are happily married, Reynar feels that married life should
be the same as the courtship, that the relationship often needs
some spice in it. Hello, its me. Want to date you for dinner
tonight, you free? Reynar asked. Ok, you decide the place and let
me know. Van answered, smiling in her heart. The place is home,
Ill prepare dinner. Reynar said. Ok, see you. She smiled and
hang up.
Whos that? Simon asked. Oh, thats my husband. Van said,
smiling happily. Simon was caught in a surprise. I didnt know you
are married, because on you name card, your name is Ms Van. He
enquired, disappointedly. I just got married half a year ago.
Well, I believe work is work, so theres no intention of changing
my name card. She answered, failing to see Simons
disappointment.
As Van eats her lunch, Simon was admiring her good looks and petite
figure. At the age of 25, she looks like a college girl. Who knew
that she is so capable and married at such a young age? Van felt
him staring and looked up, Whats wrong? Somethings on my face?
Van said, quickly feeling her face for some weird object. No, no.
Was just thinking about something. Simon said, blushing. With some
careless chatter after their meal, Simon drove her back to the
office.
It was nice having lunch with you, Van said, Hopefully we will
have more projects to do together. Van was taking it as a
corporate lunch, when Simon was not. Even if it is not business, I
presume I could still ask you out for lunch, can I? Simon teased.
She nodded, gave a smile and went into the lift.
Im not giving her up, Simon thought. With that thought, he decided
to date and know more of Van.
Reynar was preparing dinner when Van got home. She sneaked up to
him and hugged him from behind, startling him. Whats for dinner?
she asked. Black pepper chicken and mushroom soup for dinner,
dessert will be you. He teased. Me? We shall see whos having who
for dessert. She giggles and went to take a shower.
Dinner was done and the table laid, however Van is still not out
from her bath. Reynar went to check on her. The audio system in the
master bedroom was on, playing slow jazz, and the bathroom was
quiet. Reynar opened the bathroom sliding door and saw Van lying in
the bathtub with her eyes closed. Shes fallen asleep, he thought.
Kneeling down beside the bathtub, he gently strokes her wet hair
and kissed her on her lips. She stirred and woke up.
Oh no, how long have I been sleeping? She asked sadly, thinking
that she had missed dinner. Not long darling, Reynar said,
grinning, I was wondering, can we have dessert first? Caressing
her and feeling her smooth skin, he buries his face into her bosom.
She responded by kissing his neck and nibbling his ear. Tempted and
seduced by his lovely wife, he carried her out of the bathtub and
straight onto their bed. Taking off his apron, and his clothes, he
began to taste every bit of her, making her moan and asking for
more. Stroking his thighs and caressing him, she went on top of him
and made love.
Dinner was forgotten as they satisfy their lust for each other more
than once. As they lie on the bed, totally exhausted, Reynar kissed
his wife on the forehead, and went into the shower. Van put on her
bathrobe, and went to the kitchen. Reheating dinner was fast and
easy.

Upon entering the VIP chamber, Van saw many familiar faces such as
Mr. Steiner from Global Entertainment Enterprises; Miss Jade from
the Lawyers Association; Mr. Dennis, the advertising tycoon; and
several others. They exchange formalities and engaged in several
conversations. The time is 8.30pm. Van excused herself to supervise
the launch.
She then went to get hold of Joshua, who is in charge of the
entertainment sector of the launch as well. Are the dancers and
the host of the night here yet? she asked as they walked to the
dressing room. Yes, alls well. Just waiting for the countdown.
Joshua replied.
The first program of the night is the host introducing the
highlights of the night, the dancers performance. The second
program would be the launch of Devils Own with Simon introducing
what the club is about. Then the most awaited game, the host will
pick out 5 guys for one lucky lady to choose.
As the launch took place, Van went around the club, socializing
with the VIPs and the management of the club. The launch was very
successful. After the event, it was about 4 in the morning. They
tidy up, and sent everyone packing up the equipment. As Van had
been drinking, she called Reynar up.
Darling, are you able to fetch me home? she asked. Alright,
where are you? Ill take a cab down. He replied. Van gave him the
address and he arrived in 15 minutes. She left orders to Joshua and
Mel, and told them to take a rest tomorrow.
Reynar took her bag and placed it in the boot and Van got into the
car. On the way home, she could see that Reynars mind was thinking
about something else. Are you ok? she asked with concern. Im
fine, baby, maybe a little tired. Reynar replied.
When Van got into the office the next day, there were quite a few
bouquets of flowers on her desk. Caught by surprise, she asked her
secretary who send them. Not sure though. All delivered by the
florist. Cards are in them, Lena replied.
She then took out one card and it read, It was great having you
around last night, terrific party. Good work. Yours sincerely,
Simon. Van called him at his office and thanked him for the
flowers. He insisted to have lunch with her and will pick her up.
There was no reason to reject.
Reynar was training his platoon to be the best in the upcoming
marksman competition. He was thinking of what happened the night
before and he was glad he did the right thing.
He was having drinks with his army friends at a wine bar. A lady
who is around her early twenties entered the bar, turning numerous
heads. Gorgeous and breathtaking, shes indeed beautiful. Sitting
alone and sipping her wine, a few young men approached her. She
rejected them straight away. Reynar was paying quite some attention
to her. Tilting her head up, she saw Reynar looking at her and gave
a seductive smile. Reynar smiled and turn back to his group of
friends.
To their surprise, she came over and introduced herself as Violet
and asked to be seated with them. As shes the only female and the
guys were all married, Reynar declined her. With a smile, she said,
No problem.
The night with the boys ended quite early and he was getting into
the car, Violet appeared in front of his car. She suggested that
Reynar give her a lift home. Sensing some hidden agenda, Reynar
told her firmly, Im happily married and I wouldnt want to do
something hurtful to my wife. All I can do for you is to help you
fetch a taxi. Violets face changed, and said, You really do not
know how to appreciate beautiful woman, do you? Im ending this
conversation now. With that, he drove away.
Reynar was not a man easily tempted by beauty, wealth and fame. He
was very satisfied to have Van as his wife, nothing and nobody
could take that away from him. He had very much want to tell Van
about the incident when he went to fetch her home, however he
decided not to.
He decided to call Van and asked her out for dinner. Although both
of them are happily married, Reynar feels that married life should
be the same as the courtship, that the relationship often needs
some spice in it. Hello, its me. Want to date you for dinner
tonight, you free? Reynar asked. Ok, you decide the place and let
me know. Van answered, smiling in her heart. The place is home,
Ill prepare dinner. Reynar said. Ok, see you. She smiled and
hang up.
Whos that? Simon asked. Oh, thats my husband. Van said,
smiling happily. Simon was caught in a surprise. I didnt know you
are married, because on you name card, your name is Ms Van. He
enquired, disappointedly. I just got married half a year ago.
Well, I believe work is work, so theres no intention of changing
my name card. She answered, failing to see Simons
disappointment.
As Van eats her lunch, Simon was admiring her good looks and petite
figure. At the age of 25, she looks like a college girl. Who knew
that she is so capable and married at such a young age? Van felt
him staring and looked up, Whats wrong? Somethings on my face?
Van said, quickly feeling her face for some weird object. No, no.
Was just thinking about something. Simon said, blushing. With some
careless chatter after their meal, Simon drove her back to the
office.
It was nice having lunch with you, Van said, Hopefully we will
have more projects to do together. Van was taking it as a
corporate lunch, when Simon was not. Even if it is not business, I
presume I could still ask you out for lunch, can I? Simon teased.
She nodded, gave a smile and went into the lift.
Im not giving her up, Simon thought. With that thought, he decided
to date and know more of Van.
Reynar was preparing dinner when Van got home. She sneaked up to
him and hugged him from behind, startling him. Whats for dinner?
she asked. Black pepper chicken and mushroom soup for dinner,
dessert will be you. He teased. Me? We shall see whos having who
for dessert. She giggles and went to take a shower.
Dinner was done and the table laid, however Van is still not out
from her bath. Reynar went to check on her. The audio system in the
master bedroom was on, playing slow jazz, and the bathroom was
quiet. Reynar opened the bathroom sliding door and saw Van lying in
the bathtub with her eyes closed. Shes fallen asleep, he thought.
Kneeling down beside the bathtub, he gently strokes her wet hair
and kissed her on her lips. She stirred and woke up.
Oh no, how long have I been sleeping? She asked sadly, thinking
that she had missed dinner. Not long darling, Reynar said,
grinning, I was wondering, can we have dessert first? Caressing
her and feeling her smooth skin, he buries his face into her bosom.
She responded by kissing his neck and nibbling his ear. Tempted and
seduced by his lovely wife, he carried her out of the bathtub and
straight onto their bed. Taking off his apron, and his clothes, he
began to taste every bit of her, making her moan and asking for
more. Stroking his thighs and caressing him, she went on top of him
and made love.
Dinner was forgotten as they satisfy their lust for each other more
than once. As they lie on the bed, totally exhausted, Reynar kissed
his wife on the forehead, and went into the shower. Van put on her
bathrobe, and went to the kitchen. Reheating dinner was fast and
easy.
