Chapter 285 - Pina Colada (1/2)

Halia didn't tell Jackson about Trojan's memory nor Joel Gabriel Santos. After all, this was a rare opportunity for them to be on holidays without the interference of work and she wanted her husband to enjoy it. But, after they checked into the resort and went to sit by the pool, she sneakily pulled her phone out and searched up the name Joel Gabriel Santos.

Immediately, a photo of the man she saw in her memory popped up on the screen along with several news articles. Joel Gabriel Santos was a minister that worked in the Department of Tourism and was a huge supporter of Chinese investment in the Philippines. Most notably, he was a huge advocate for Chinese casinos to be developed on the resort island of Boracay.

Halia frowned when she saw this.

If this man was connected to Trojan and The Organization, he was obviously a corrupt official. This was a huge deal on an international scale and something that she couldn't ignore.

While she was deep in thought, Jackson approached with two c.o.c.ktails in his hands and sat down beside her.

Halia was so focused on her phone, she almost threw it out of her hands in surprise when her husband suddenly appeared.

Jackson looked at her with suspicion. ”Are you doing something behind my back?” he asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Halia gulped guiltily and quickly put her phone away. Did this man discover something?

”Do you have another husband that I don't know about?” Jackson teased as he leaned into his wife's ear.

Halia chuckled and grabbed one of the c.o.c.ktails from the man's hands. ”Don't you know how popular your wife is?” she played along. She then took a sip of the Pina Colada that her husband got her. The pineapple juice and coconut aftertaste was especially refreshing in the hot weather.

Jackson looked at Halia as she licked her lips with satisfaction. From where he sat, he could smell the pineapple and coconut in her breath and it was extremely alluring. Especially when his spy wife was dressed in a bikini that flaunted her perfect body.

Unable to resist the woman beside him, Jackson wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her domineeringly towards him. ”They don't stand a chance against me,” he said seductively as he pressed his lips against hers. Halia smiled and kissed the man back as he twirled his tongue into her mouth to taste the sweet pineapple and coconut flavors that lingered inside.

No matter how many times they kissed, he could never get enough of her soft lips.

While the man was immersed in their kiss, Halia sneakily grabbed Jackson's c.o.c.ktail out of his hand and pushed him into the pool with a splash. Caught by surprise, Jackson quickly jumped up and flicked the water off his hair with a laugh. Halia watched and smiled, even when he was soaking in water, this man still looked so handsome.

Jackson looked at his wife and stared at her with an evil grin. This cheeky woman was asking to be punished. Halia saw her husband's expression and knew what he was thinking, but before she managed to escape, Jackson dragged her into the water with him and pressed her body against the edge of the pool.

The water in the pool was cold, but the man's body was hot against her skin. Jackson was only wearing a pair of board shorts, so the top half of his muscly body was exposed and Halia could feel each muscle tense up as he lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. He then pressed his watery lips against hers again. The slipperiness from the pool water made Halia gasp subconsciously in pleasure. This kiss reminded her of the time they kissed under the shower in the underground lab when they first agreed to become a couple, but there was much more s.e.x.u.a.l tension this time.

As Halia kissed the man, she began to feel something hard between her legs and it stirred up her desires. She slowly moved her lips away and whispered beside Jackson's ear, ”Let's go back to our room.”
