Million Dollar Man

Amber step out of the shower. A towel wrap around her as she step out of the bathroom. Tonight is her first night in Monaco and she's going to enjoy it.

A red sleeveless cami dress lay on the bed. Amber got dress did her make up natural. She got a pair of elegant white sandals and her white hand bag and a jean jacket.

Amber look at her reflection again and nod. Just as she step out her phone rang.

"Girl where are you?" Vanessa ask.

"I'm coming." Amber roll her eyes, stepping in the elevator.

A group of man also enter the elevator after her. Amber was to busy on the phone to notice enter of them.

"Look V, I'm on my way." Amber pause listen to what Vanessa said. "But I didn't want to entrude. Yeah, okay."

Some of the man couldn't help but stole glance at Amber. Some didn't bother trying to hide that they were looking at her.

The elavater open.

Amber end the call and made her way out. The man at the front, simple stare ahead.

"Would you look at that, Raphael. She didn't bat an eye." Mathèo say with a chuckled. "She even dare to get in your personal elevator. Isn't she a brave one."

People in Monte Carlo fear the name Raphael Garcia. This is the first time Raphael seen a woman who didn't run in fear from him.

Raphael ignore Mathèo step out of the elevator, his hands in his pocket.

Amber meet up with Vanessa at Juanna's Diner. Vanessa stood up when ahe saw Amber approaching her.

"Finally," Vanessa give Amber an annoyed look. "What the heck Amber. You're here on a business trip, not a fucking vacation."

Amber roll her eyes. "Yeah. I literally just came to Monaco. You haven't even let me take a nap."

It's true Amber did came to Monaco because of a business trip. Amber was planning to wrap the business trip up a enjoy a nice vacation.

"Lets get down to business." Amber start.

Vanessa pulled out some document amd hand them to Amber. Vanessa watch as Amber read through the documents. Normal the CEO of a company would come on a business trip with there secretary. But Amber sge always do it solo.

"Done," Amber say after signing the documents. "I'll have my secretary take care of the rest. Tell your boss."

Amber got up and left the diner. Amber walk the street gaze at everything she pass. Amber walk until she reach dark alley.

She was about to turn and walk away, but stop when she heard the groaning of someone in pain. The sound was getting louder and louder. Amber couldnt ignore it. Someone was hurt in the alley and curiousity was killing her.

Amber took a deep breath and made her way into the alley, following the voice.

Amber eyes widen when she saw a man cover in blood. His eyes were close he was panting and groaning in pain.

"Are you alright?" Amber rush to the man side.

Raphael open his eyes slightly and saw a woman before passing out.

Raphael stir before his eyes snap open. He stare up at the unfamiliar ceiling.

"Where the heck am I?" Raphael ask himself sitting up. "Ah, shit." Raphael hiss in pain.

Raphael recalled what happen. Those bastard shot him. Raphael gaze down noticing his torso was cover with bandage.

"You're awake."

Raphael gaze snap to the door were a young woman stood.

Amber made her way to him. "You shouldn't be moving around. You're probably thirsty."

Raphael said nothing. He simply watch as Amber pour him a glass of water. Raphael did recalled seeing a woman before losing conciousness. Was it this woman?

"You know, you're lucky. The shot didn't hit any vital area." Amber smile. "But you did lose alot of blood. If I have come any later, your fate would've been death."

Rqphael listen to her silently.

Amber gaze down awkwardly. Does this man doesn't know how to talk?

Raphael was surprise. Normally if someone saw him, they would run for the hills. If someone saw him, shot in the alley way. They would left him to die. But this woman save him.

"Why did you save me?" Raphael ask.

Amber stare at him dumbfounded. "Why wouldn't?" Amber sigh when Raphael simply stare at her. "I'm not the type of person to ignore someone in need."

"Why didn't you take me to the hospital?"

"You told me not to," Amber answer. She recalled how she suggested taking him to the hospital and he told her not to.

Raphael stayed quiet.

Amber press her lip in a thin line. She have questions too. Like how did he get shot? Who shoot him?

"Thank you," Raphael say getting up.

"Hey. I just that you shouldn't be move round." Amber was getting upset. She stood and gently make Raphael lay down. "I stay up alnight tending to you. If you reopen your womb I'll let you bleed out." Amber threaten. She didn't mean it though. If his womb reopen she'll stitch it back up. She don't have the heart to leave someone in pain when she know that she could help them.

Raphael was stun. No one have ever talk to him like that before. "I appreciate you saving me but I have things to do."

Raphael try getting, doing that make his injury hurt. Raphael groan in pain.

"See," Amber sigh. "If you keep moving you'll be hurting yourself."

Amber help Raphael down again. Raphael stayed put though his eyes never left Amber.

Amber wore a plain white t-shirt and jean. Her hair was in a messy bun, giving perfect view of her small heart shape face.

"You're not from around here are you?" Raphael couldn't help but ask.

"I'm from Brazil. I came to Europe for business." Amber answer. "Can I ask you a question?"

"You are my savior." Raphael nod.

"Can you tell me, how you got shoot." Amber blink waiting for Raphael repond.

Raphael clench his fist. How could he tell this kind girl that he was betrayed and get shoot by someone close to him. Amber clearly don't know

Who Raphael is. Raphael didn't want to scar her away.

"I been at the wrong place at the wrong time." Raphael reply after soon time.

Amber press her lips in a thin line and nod. Okay so he didn't want to her. But why would he, wven though she say him, she's still a stranger.

"I'm Amber by the way. What's your name?" Amber smiled changing the topic.

Raphael stare at her, wondering if he could answer her. "It's Raphael." Raphael say not adding his last name. It's felt nice not having someone stare at him in fear. What if he mention his sir name and Amber recognize him.

Amber grin. "It's nice to meet you Raphael."
