Grazziena received a bouquet of red roses early in the morning. It has been delivered by a known flower delivery shop from the city. Surprised, Grazziena looked at the words written on the attached card.
The note written in the attached card said, “To the woman who is giving me beautiful mornings just by thinking about her. . . See you this afternoon at our hotel Ms. Grazziena… Waiting with love, Jervin Ty.”
Grazziena became uneasy.
In a recent F******k live interview with a reporter from a local branch of a known TV Station, Jervin Ty vocally admitted that it was him who insisted to his father to invite the reigning Ms. Albaya 2020 to grace the opening of Ty’s second-biggest hotel in the province. When asked by the local reporter why he insisted so, Jervin Ty smiled warmly and pointed his finger on his heart part then softly said, “She hit me here.” The reporter’s eyes grew big and giggled as she looked at the camera, winked, and bade goodbye.
I And they said for a man to gain more allies and powers, he needs to know the real meaning of the word, “Control”. Control means, not only manipulating people to follow you but more so, manipulating yourself, your emotion to never burst out in anger, hatred, jealousy, or any other bad emotions in front of other people. This is what Governor Draeko has in mind when he saw the son of the Hotel Magnate and Business Tycon, Ty holding the hand of Ms. Albaya 2020 while helping her get out of his Mercedez Benz. It never occurred in him that this young man of the Ty family would be so persistent, to the extent of fetching Grazziena personally from her home going to the hotel. This is his problem; he cannot just do that right now. He cannot just go to Grazziena’s house without a valid or legitimate purpose being the Governor of Albaya Province. What would be a good purpose to visit her and her family using his Governor position? That he needs to think deeply. He cann
I She opened her eyes when she felt the nearness and the hard breathing of Governor Draeko. Unable to control herself, she touched the heart part of Governor Draeko. She even managed to caress it gently and then innocently checked on the expression of the young Governor, who is now closing the gap between them. “Grazziena, I really like you. At the onset that I saw you there on the ramp, I felt something different and I want you to be mine.” Governor Draeko whispered as his eyes are closely focused on Grazziena’s innocent-looking face. Grazziena kept her silence. She did not know what to say actually. Her heartbeats overwhelmed her senses. When Governor Draeko’s lips slowly came closer to her own lips, her eyes automatically shut and her lips trembled. She felt nervous at the same time excited. What could be the taste of the lips of a young and gorgeous Governor? She thought and then something inside her willowed with joy. Seeing that Grazziena cl
I Lumaro consulted his Alpha father where to go next. He tried to travel again in another pack’s land but to no avail. Sadly, he was not able yet to find his mate. “Father, I’m tired of looking for my mate. Where can I find her?” Lumaro with a weary heart asked his father Roilo, who suddenly brought his mind into the past. Alpha Roilo, who was then the Beta of Alpha Gregor clearly heard it when the most feared witch Tuthaara curse the daughter of their Alpha and Luna at that time. “Your father rejected me despite all the love I showered him; you, their only heir will suffer my final curse to your pack. You will be thrown to a far-away land where wolves are considered deadly animals and after the day of your adulthood, you will shift every midnight into your most dreadful wolf form that the wolves’ world and even the human’s world will ever see! Let my curse be done to you!” “Far away land… in the human world Lumaro! You can find your mate in t
I Lumaro can still visibly describes to himself the she-wolf in his dream last night. If she is his mate, he did not know how he could take her when she is in her wolf form. But she is beautiful as a human; too beautiful to be rejected. A thin smile peeped through the glistening eyes of Lumaro. “Father, it is time for me to travel again… into the human world,” Lumaro told his father the next day. He is fully decided to find the woman in his dream. He sat on the chair at their Pack House’s dining hall and requested for a cup of coffee and waffles from one of their maid omegas. His Alpha Father glanced at Lumaro whose eyes are showing some signs of excitement. “Why did you decide suddenly to travel to the human world now?” “Because I saw her father; I saw the cursed daughter of the former Alpha and Luna of our pack,” Lumaro replied smiling. “How?” Curiosity covered the face of the Alpha father of Lumaro while waiting for his son's reply.
I Her dream never left her mind until the time that she met Draeko during lunch. He brought her to one of his mansions. Right now, they cannot just dine in any restaurant around the province as it might cast public scrutiny. Grazziena could simply admire in silence the proof of wealth that Draeko and his family have. The mansion itself and all the things inside and around it are showing splendidly their affluence. She chuckled in her mind and felt a bit of fear and shame, for who is she to be chosen by Draeko? She is a mere piece of tiny dirt in Draeko’s toenail. “You like here Sweetheart?” Draeko asked pulling her close to him. Grazziena just made a quick smile and nodded. “Sir, the table is ready,” said a voice coming from one of the maids of Draeko. “Come, Sweetheart, let’s eat. I am actually starving that I am now seeing you as my mouth-watering meal.” Draeko teased Grazziena as he led her going to the dining area. She blushed shyl
I Grazziena has been dropped off by Governor Draeko’s driver in the University she chose to enroll for her first year in College. She went to the registrar’s office and she was being accommodated with such specialty being the crowned Ms. Albaya 2020. She got herself enrolled in just an hour as she need not have to line up on cue for enrolling students. Hers was a special lane; no lane at all, so to speak off. “Hello my honeybunch, you finished enrolling already?” that was Governor Draeko’s message that Grazziena received just a second after finishing her enrolment. She smiled and replied to him. “Yes, my love. I am done here already. I will be on my way home after this.” Grazziena smilingly sent her reply to Governor Draeko. Governor Draeko replied immediately. “You take care, Sweetheart. I am sorry, I cannot pick you up there as I have to meet some local government leaders. I will ask my driver to bring you home. I love you.” Grazziena smiled
I Grazziena became restless for a couple of days because of the new opportunity knocking on her door. She is thinking about the prize. It will definitely change her life and most of all her Papang and Mamang. On one hand, if she will not win, she will be wasting the one semester of her first year in college, for nothing. Aside from the fact that she might be at risk. Her secret might be discovered. As far as she knows, all candidates of the National Beauty Pageant need to stay in a hotel, in the capital, together. How could she be able to handle her shifting every midnight all throughout the process? No, she cannot risk exposing herself, her secret that might cause, not only losing Draeko but might cause her death. Now, she is really confused. She decided to inform her beloved Governor Draeko about it and her confusion. She admired Draeko's wisdom most of the time. Draeko listened well when Grazziena discussed to him the offered opportunity for her to be the
I Taken aback, Governor Draeko looked at Grazziena with a hurt expression. “Why didn’t you like what we do?” his voice was low. Grazziena felt a pang in her heart. How could she be able to explain without offending or hurting him? “Of course I like it, Sweetheart. It’s just that I am afraid that if we did it again, we might not be able to control ourselves anymore and I might get pregnant. I still wanted to finish my studies. I don’t want to disappoint Papang and Mamang and myself too.” She held his hands and kissed them both. He smiled with understanding and nodded. “Sweetheart I promise you, I will not take all your innocence until we got married. But please, don’t you deprive me to even touch or kiss you with passion,” his voice was pleading as he looked at Grazziena tenderly. A warm hand caressed Grazziena’s heart as she noticed the pain, yet it was overwhelmed by the love for her as can be clearly seen in his eyes. She grabbed his face and gave h
