He drives a big expensive car. He owns a big boat, a private jet, a space shutter, oil wells, two oceans, half of Jupiter and a super mall chain. But when she says, "I love you" she doesn't look at his face but the wings that will protect her.

She is young and pretty. She knows what she wants. She won't fool him. He is too old and as shrewd as a raccoon is. He fought his wars and defends his castle everyday.

He won't fool her. He won't say, "I love you too." And she understands. He doesn't have time to waste and he is used to make deals.
"Take or leave it. It's my way or the highway," he says.

She takes it. She won't see the highway again.
