The ugly island beauty

Chapter 3 : Mesmerised

Steven was going mad thinking about all the happenings of the day, just 10 hours ago everything was alright, but now nothing seems to be ok. Right now he should have been with his beautiful wife, in his room, on his bed, he spent so many nights having wet dreams, fantasizing her below him.

He never controlled himself when it comes to the girls he has taken a liking for but the island beauty was different, she found a unique spot in his heart, he wanted to let the whole world know, she is his and only his. Only a girl as beautiful as her was deserving to be called Mrs Russu, he tried so hard this past month to keep it in his pants and not go to her, claiming her.

Forty days ago he visited the island for the first time. Initially he was trying to avoid a personal visit but considering how important the deal wasq, he decided to go. The whole journey he was busy sorting the paperwork. When they finally arrived and were docking the ship did he raise his head and looked at the surrounding. The view was simply serene, clear blue sky above, greenish blue clear water below and between them stood the island like a proud child, white sand, green tropical trees, warm weather. He asked his men to wait near the ship, he got down and was roaming around the shore drinking in the beauty of the island.

He did not realise when he wandered off far away from his ship and reached a fishing settlement. There he saw the beauty for first time, weaing a floral dress, hair open, flowing with the wind, fair flawless skin, delicate features, she was simply breathtaking. He was mesmerised by the beauty in front of him. He quickly brought out his phone and clicked a few pictures of the girl.

Whole day he could not get the beauty out of his mind. The island king in front of him, was saying something about the contract but all Steven could think about was the girl in the floral dress whom he now knows was the island beauty. Anyway the island king's demands were too high to be accepted so he knew deal will go nowhere, why waste time! He can use this time to search for the girl. As soon as this thought came to his mind, suddenly Steven stood from his place and said, "Mr Wiston, I dont think we can go ahead with this proposal unless you reduce your cut in the deal. If there is any change in your decision, you can connect with my secretary." Stevan walked the door, turned the knob and just as he set a foot out, he seemed to remember something. He turned back and asked, "Can you tell me where can I find the island beauty?"

Island king was taken aback for a second. Composing himself he answered, "She went to the fising village for a photo shoot but she should be back home by now. why do you ask?" Steven was confused, he simply raised an eyebrow. Having understood the confusion created by his statement, island king replied. "She is my daughter."

Steven paused for a second, as soon as the information was registerd, he had a broad smile on his lips.

He re entered the cabin and sat on his seat again.

After rengotiating the deal for an hour, following was the conclusion.

1. Island king will provide a free passage for all of Steven's consignments to pass through the island.

2. He would slowly help Steven acquire the lands on the island to setup a factory to multiply their profits. Currently raw material for island are exported to the city and processed in the factories there. More than half of the material is thrown as waste with only about 40% converted to product. With the transportation costs already so high, if the transportation of this 60% material can be avoided i.e. goods are made out of raw material on the island and directly finished goods are transported to cities. It will not only avoid unnecessary movement of 60% waste but also that place can be taken by finished goods. This way one trip is required instead of two for same number of finished goods to be transported, thus doubling the profits.

3. Steven is to marry the island beauty.

He was very happy with the outcome, he restricted himself from meeting her again for he knew he would not be able to control himself if he meets her before wedding. He boosted about her beauty to his friends, the media, his family, everywhere.

Now it all came back biting him hard.

He was currrently in the honeymoon suite that he booked for 'the' wedding night, inebriated, trying hard to get rid of these torturous thoughts.

He finally decided, so what if bride was replaced? he can still go ahead with the plan, he can still ravish that brown haired girl with hourglass figure.

He called his assistant and asked to bring the girl in.
