As soon as they could build a strong relationship, they will hold onto it. Ghino will start valuing Melissa as his friend. And Melissa will do the same to Ghino. They will be depending on each other like what happened between me and Ghino. Worst-case scenario, whatever relationship we could have will swirl between the three of us. Melissa loves me. Ghino loves me. And I love Ghino. In the end, Melissa will be the one to get hurt. Shit. While holding onto that thought, I could barely see a better future between the three of us if Ghino and Melissa will become close friends. It will only lead us to heartaches, betrayal, and destruction. But, what am I supposed to do to make sure the two will not become close friends? Melissa even has their digits already. And as far as I could remember, Ghino already likes Melissa's strong personality. After my first presentation, out of the five songs, that I am going to perform, I had my fifteen minutes break joining Melissa, Ghin

"The question here now is... Are you challenged?" I'm not gonna lose to Ghino. So, this time, I simply pasted my lips against his and waited for who will give up first. Waiting for the first to slightly move our lips or move away. Currently, both our eyes are closed while feeling each other's soft scented lips. Ghino is trying to hold onto his breath while listening to each other's racing heartbeats. "Don't do this, Nathan," Ghino muttered without even moving the corner of his lips. Afraid to let go of first. "Have mercy on me." "Mercy is for the weak, Ghino. You're not the weak Ghino anymore. And I love the way you are now. Aggressive and fighter." Similar to Ghino, it was the warm air coming from our mouth and nose that resounded our responses. "But, I'm not gonna let you win this time, Nathan. So, what could it be?" Ghino said back. I let go of my hands from his hands and crawled them to his neck, gently rubbing them back and forth between his cheeks. "Then

"Gentlemen, I want you to meet my only son, Prince Nathan." Dad eagerly announced to hIs friends. Even dragged his eager smile to each of them, one by one. He could even smile after everything he has done to Ghino earlier. Not to mention we just got an intense debate before I rushed to school. "Your son looks promising as you are, don't you think." One of his friends eagerly stared at me. "I'm not here to get praised, dad." My eyes were locked on him viciously before I poured the bundles of money and Ghino's passport and visa to the ground. Everyone, excluding dad, got surprised about what I had just done. Their eagerness abruptly changed as though their high expectations of me turned to zero. Not to mention they all could sense how furious and deadly my eyes were while standing in front of his friends. "If you wanted to bribe someone with your stupidity, arrogance, and manipulation, Ghino is not the type of wolf who would buy them. Nice try... Dad!" I added.

As soon as Melissa and I settled inside my Lamborghini, I waited for dad's car to head out of the mansion first before I started the engine. "Do you mind if I ask what you guys discussed earlier before I showed up?" I was supposed to ignore it but, in some ways, part of me wanted to know. My wolf might have a few thoughts being stored in my brain about the possibilities. However, I had to make sure from Melissa herself. "Nothing, in particular, Nathan. Why do you ask? Do you expect your parents and I should discuss about?" Melissa defensively said back as she fastened her seatbelt. How could she consider it nothing in particular when I just witnessed the three of them laughing in unison? The worst part was that they stopped talking and gave me those guilty looks when they saw me approaching. "Nothing. It's just, that I noticed the three of you shared the same laugh and thoughts earlier. So, I was thinking if you told them about our wedding tomorrow." Could not

"So, what do you suggest?" I need options. Could not just let that man, whoever he is, kidnap Melissa. I dragged my furious gaze back to the manager for not making his job properly. "If anything bad will happens to Melissa, it's on you, Mr. Manager." "I'm so sorry, Prince Nathan., he said in a worried tone. "I highly suggest you should communicate with the higher ops about the case, Prince Nathan." The IT Staff grabbed a piece of paper and pen and jotted down something. Afterward, he handed over the piece of paper to me and paused the CCTV Footage. "That's the description of the car and plate number the kidnapper used. Below it was the Sheriff's digits that could help you expedite the searching," he added. "Inside of this flash drive is also the copy of the footage for the cops' reference." "Thank you so much." I clapped his shoulder before I went back to the car. After talking to the Sheriff over the phone, I rushed to the precinct to explain everything t
