Chapter 23: Desperate Magnate

Chapter 23: Desperate Magnate

From the dawn's break, the roads to the unfamiliar town center were already busy as the traders began to invade the place Lord Damond did not even know existed. It is very far from his estate; it is an isolated island. Never in his mind did he come across the thought of Ulysses transferring to a place such as this. The land is filled with serenity. Lord Damond would gladly come back to this place to relax with Ulysses.

His heart is beating so fast; he is in a jittery state. Finally, after the long lonely nights, he will see Ulysses again, or maybe not. But his doubts do not matter; he will go across the earth to look for him no matter what. The mansion became busy because Lord Damond immediately decided to get to the place the moment he got the location from Lord Edmund. He is not even sure if Ulysses is really there, but he will try to find him to the ends of the world.

The engagement is still ongoing but he did not even mind the upcoming event. He wants to find Ulysses. His carriage is faster than usual traveling to the said island. When he got there, everyone was staring. He is a known Magnate so of course everyone would stare. But his heart sank when he did not see Ulysses in the said shop. However, hope grew in his heart when one staff said that the beautiful mute boy will be there in the afternoon.

He is not even sure if it is Ulysses, but he has hope. Lord Damond waited until the afternoon, until an unfamiliar mobile arrived. Lord Damond was there, at the door waiting for him. He is alone but he does not mind. As a young magnate, he should be with his guards. But he does not have any; he was hasty to travel, he badly wants to see Ulysses.

He thought his travel would be unworthy until a familiar beautiful man came out of the mobile, and Lord Damond's eyes welled in tears. Finally. His heart pumped loud, so loud that he could not hear anything from the background and all he could literally see is Ulysses arriving with a girl. Lord Damond's heart sank; did he find someone else?

No, Ulysses cannot or Lord Damond would die from heartache. What the heck is this feeling? This is the first time and Lord Damond feels sick upon watching Ulysses smile at the girl. His Ulysses looks so happy without him. Is he the only one suffering? Right, he should be the only one to suffer. It is better for him to suffer alone than think of Ulysses crying again because of him. Lord Damond claims that he deserves all the pain in the world.

Lord Damond's eyes continued welling in tears as the beautiful boy approached. Ulysses still has not noticed him; he is busy with the bags and Lord Damond just wants to run and embrace him. Fuck, Ulysses is so perfect.

He will never get over those freckles that look like stars in the night sky. Those innocent mesmerizing eyes that could captivate anyone; so damn beautiful. Those olive green hair that falls to the nape and the cute antenna on top; so ravishing. That sexy slender body that moves gracefully and adorably. Damn, his Ulysses is the most beautiful creation in the world. Nothing in the world compares to his beauty for Lord Damond.

Lord Damond almost rushed to Ulysses, but the beautiful boy stopped at the door to greet him without even looking at him.

"W-welcome..." The boy he longed for stopped upon finally seeing him. His eyes widened in shock and he even backed away when their eyes met.

Their orbs danced against each other as time seemed to stop and everything moved in slow motion. Lord Damond's tears overflowed and Ulysses started frowning as if he is about to cry too.

"Lord Damond..."

Teresa from the back tried to greet. "My dear sir! Welcome."

"Uly..." Lord Damond cried. "Ulysses!" He did not spend any more minutes to wait; he rushed to hug his favorite person tightly. He does not even want to let go; no, he will never let him go.
