章 17: Time for Vacation!
When Dominic said they were going on holiday, Alexa thought they would go for a day to a park or beach that was close to their town. However, when Dominic took her on a helicopter that helped them reach an exotic island located somewhere, Alexa finally realized that her husband was someone who didn't lack money at all to do whatever he wanted.
"Wohooo! Madam, the water here is very clear and fresh! Ah... I haven't played this freely for a long time!"
Alexa smiled a little when Flora called her in a cheerful tone typical of a child. When they arrived, Dominic's bodyguards, who always followed him like shadows, Flora and Jasper, immediately rushed to the beach and took off their outer clothing. With preparation, both of them had put on swimsuits under their work clothes, which they always wore whenever they went out with Dominic. The two laughed cheerfully, making Alexa wonder how old they both were.
"Madam, don't you want to change into a swimsuit? Mr. Dominic has prepared clothes for you. Meanwhile, Mr. Dominic himself will also immediately change clothes after the phone call is finished."
Alexa turned to Rika, who came towards her wearing a swimsuit. Alexa was a little stunned, this was the first time she saw Rika this relaxed in front of her. Rika in a swimsuit looks like a cute teenager in general. Her short black hair moved lightly when blown by the wind, adding a beautiful look to the young girl.
"Then, I will-"
SPLASH!
"Ahaha! Taste that, Rika! Have your instincts diminished from staying too much at the Boss's house? You can't avoid the water shot this close."
Rika's face darkened when Jasper shot her in the face with a water gun that the man had taken from somewhere. Rika's always flat face finally changed as she chased after Jasper and Flora, who started to run away while laughing out loud.
"I WILL KILL YOU!"
Alexa laughed too when Rika shouted angrily for the first time and she witnessed it. Seeing them like this, Alexa remembered that the three of them might be younger than her. The three looked like teenagers. How could they work for Dominic at such a young age?
"Why are you here? Doesn't Rika want to help you change clothes?"
Alexa flinched in surprise when Dominic, who had just arrived, suddenly hugged her from behind. Alexa turned around, intending to scold Dominic before she was stunned by the sight in front of her.
In front of Alexa stood Dominic, who was only wearing swimming shorts. The top showcases the strong muscles that Dominic has built over the years. The man smiled when he knew that Alexa was stunned by his appearance.
"Like what you see?" Dominic asked teasingly. Realizing that she had just been caught looking at Dominic without blinking, Alexa's face turned red with embarrassment. Alexa cleared her throat softly, trying to relieve a little of her embarrassment.
"Y-you seemed to be having a serious conversation with someone on the phone. I didn't want to disturb you, so I went to the beach accompanied by Jasper and Flora. However, after touching the sand, they seemed excited and immediately started playing in the water. Rika had already offered me to change my clothes. But she also went with Jasper and Flora when Jasper shot her with a water gun," explained Alexa. Dominic took a deep breath. His lips pouted when he noticed that his three subordinates were running and chasing each other on the coast.
"How could they just leave you behind? I'll have to reprimand them later. After all, I brought them here to help and protect you," grumbled Dominic. The wrinkles on his forehead immediately disappeared when he heard Alexa chuckle. Since losing her memory, Alexa laughs more now.
"What kind of danger could we encounter on this island in the middle of nowhere? Don't be angry with them, Dom. They also want to have fun," reminded Alexa. Hearing Alexa's words, Dominic looked at the woman gently. Dominic tightened his embrace as his arms wrapped perfectly around Alexa's slender waist.
"And you look like their mother now," Dominic joked. Alexa blinked before remembering there was something she wanted to ask Dominic a long time ago.
"Dom, how old are they?" Alexa asked. Dominic looked thoughtful before answering Alexa's question with hesitation.
"I think they are around seventeen to twenty years old? Well, it should be around that. The three of them are siblings, Baby. They are only a year or two apart in age from the others. Rika is the first child, while Jasper is the youngest sibling," Dominic was explaining. Alexa stared at Dominic without blinking before turning quickly to look at the three teenagers who were still screaming at each other.
Confirming it directly clearly surprised Alexa. The three of them are just young people. Being bodyguards for someone as strong as Dominic at such a young age is clearly strange. Moreover, the three of them turned out to be siblings. Alexa thinks that children their age should still spend time studying, not working every day like this.
Especially Rika. That sweet girl is the one who looks the best among the three. She can cook, clean the house, and supervise the other servants when she has to look after Alexa. Alexa thought that was a truly extraordinary thing, especially for such a young girl.
"Dom, how can they work for you at such a young age? They... have worked for you for a long time, haven't they? What about their education, Dom?" Alexa asked worriedly. Dominic took a deep breath while his eyes looked deeply at his three subordinates.
"They were previously sold as slaves who only knew how to fight. I bought them when they were still children. I gave them a proper education. You don't need to worry about that."
Seeing that Alexa was just about to protest with his words, Dominic immediately added his explanation.
"I bought them because previously they had an assignment to kill me and ended up failing... For people like them, failure has to be paid for with their lives. I had to buy them to save their lives. I sent them to college and gave them a place to live and food. Since then, they have up their loyalty to me. I have offered them other options, such as living normally and getting along as ordinary people ."
Dominic chuckled. It was still clear in his memory how those young faces looked at him with teary eyes.
"Well, they are sometimes childish. But actually, they are expert bodyguards, Baby," he concluded. Alexa breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of their hug. The woman looked at him gently. Her lips looked so sexy as they curved upwards very beautifully.
"It seems like they see you as their parent here," she commented lightly. Dominic smiled before stroking Alexa's hair gently.
"Maybe. We've talked about them for long enough, Baby. We're here on holiday. How come you haven't changed your clothes at all?" Dominic asked. Alexa chuckled before pulling Dominic to go back to the villa with her.
"Then you want to accompany me to change, right?" Alexa said teasingly. Dominic smiled mischievously before suddenly lifting Alexa with his strong hands.
"Of course, I won't refuse that offer, Baby," whispered Dominic hoarsely.
