Maximilian's POV

"Ouch..!! Be careful" Daing ko sa kanya. Seryosong seryoso ang mukha nya habang ginagamot ang sugat ko, hindi ko mapigilang mapangisi. Hindi naman masakit yung paglalagay nya ng ointment sa mukha ko, padampi dampi lang, gusto ko lang talaga magpalambing, she always liked my innocent face and pitiful look. Napatingin sya sakin kaya nagtagpo ang mga mata namin, "How did I know? It's always obvious on her expression" Lumapit sya sakin, I was about to flirt her when she suddenly pressed the cotton on my wound in hard way.

"Aghh!!" I groaned while backing away. The small wound on my face is quite deep because I'm the one who did it. I replaced the small cut she caused with a knife cut. I know she will doubt me.

"Ohh sorry, I thought you were just acting," She said in a sarcastic tone. But later on, she leans closer to me and then blows my scratch using her mouth. I secretly smile when I smell her sweetness, I want to kiss her again.

"Tskk... I won't let Eivan get away from this" Rinig kong bulong nya habang tinatapalan ng bagong band aid ang mukha ko, I look at her with alluring smile on my face. She's really cute when she looks so serious.

Hadrian's POV

"Y-Young Master... Pinauuwi na po kayo ni Madam" Hindi ko sya pinansin at nanatiling nakatingin sa mga papeles na binabasa ko. Nang mapansin nya sigurong wala along balak makinig sa kanya, nagfocus ako sa binabasa ko. The Vaughn Corp are pulling out their shares? They were one of our exclusive partners, What suddenly gotten to them? I must resolve this case, Napatigil ako sa pagiisip ng nagsalita na naman yung lalaking tauhan ni Mom para pauwiin ako.

"Y-young Master, I-I will be fired if you don't go home-"

"HELL I CARE" Malamig kong sabi habang sinisipa ang table ko, dahilan para ito ay magpatak at matumba, dahil gawa ito sa glass, gumawa ito ng malakas na ingay at nagkalat ang mga bubog sa sahig. Sinipa ko ang swivel chair sa gilid at huminga ng malalim.

"And please don't lower my standards, You're simply a haughty and cocky young master of a rich family... And I? I'm a contender for being the next mafia leader... Our world is totally different,"

Kinagat ko ang labi ko ng magecho ang boses ni Ivy sa utak ko. Is this the reason why she doesn't like me? She's an heiress of some proscribed association? Then if it's that... Why is she clinging to Maximilian? Is he half better than me? Compare to me, I'm an inheritor of an influential figure, while he? He is simply a typical lawyer.

"I don't see the reason why you chose him over me" Bulong ko habang nakatingin sa sirang glass na nagrerepleka sa mukha ko.

Sinuntok ko ang pader sa gilid bago huminga ng malamig para pakalmahin ang sistema ko, I will find out the truth about your secret, don't underestimate me, Ivy. "You will come back to me" Saad ko saking sarili ng seryoso bago tinanggal ang necktie na nakatali sa leeg ko.

Maximilian's POV

"Lift your arms a bit," I said in a low voice while holding her waist up to her shoulders.

"Like this?" She asked. I nodded my head.

"Now, try to fire," I said while crossing my arms while moving backward, I was teaching her how to fire a gun. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Bawat kalabit nya ng gatilyo, tumatama center ng maliit na bilog yung bala. Kahit sobrang layo dahil long distance, Asintadong asintado nya, para bang sanay na sanay, minsan hindi parin maiwasang hindi magtaka, pansin ko dati pa na kuhang kuha nya yung mga galaw ko sa pakikipaglaban.

Para bang naturuan ko na sya dati pa, "Maybe I'm just overthinking. She's carrying the blood of a Beaufort after all" Beauforts are exceptional in both the outer and mafia worlds. Their authority is undiminished from generation to generation, and they are also full of resources everywhere, which is terrifying, isn't it? Their issue was that they were too private... They are cold-blooded and lack trust in others.

"But of course, my Yannis is different," I thought while looking at her loading more bullets, When she caught me staring at her, her face turns sour but her ears turns red. "What are you staring at?" She asked with a poker face. What a cute reaction. Is there a possibility that she likes me now? A smirk suddenly formed on my face.

Let me test her.

I approached her gently and then dropped my head; she was still staring at me. I can see her pure white cheeks turning scarlet. My smile grows larger. "Yanyan, can you say 'I'm not ready to take it to the next level.'" Nakangisi kong saad. 

Nsapatingin sya sakin, Kumunot ang noo nya.

Ivy's POV

What?

"I'm not ready to take it to the next level..?" Ulit ko sa sinabi nya pero patanong. I look at him, he just keeps smiling. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang bumigat bigla ang pakiramdam ko. Why is he putting walls between us? What happened? Did I do something wrong?

Teka... Hindi ba ito ang gusto ko?? Yung lagyan ng bakod ang relasyon namin? Pero... Pero bakit ang sakit. It's this annoying feeling again, inilayo ko ang tingin kay Maximilian ng lalong lumawak ang ngiti nya.

"I want to get out, my eyes are getting blurry,"I thought as I clenched my hand. I can't show anyone that I'm weak, particularly in his eyes. Isinuksok ko ang baril sa likod ng itim na leather pants ko at tumalikod na. "I'm going, I'm tired" Astang hahakbang na ako paalis na ako ng maramdaman ko ang mga bisig ni Maximilian sa bewang ko.

"Wait a minute, I'm not done yet..." Medyo nagulat ako pero hindi ko pinahalata. Is it just me, or his voice suddenly sounds so seductive?

Tumingin ako sa ibang direksyon ng inilagay nya ang baba nya sa balikat ko at nilingon ako. I can feel his warm breath on my neck. What does he want? I thought his putting walls between us? "Say I love the view" He said again. Bakit ang lambing ng boses nya? Uminit ang ulo ko.

"Let go, Maximilian" kalmado kong sabi. He chuckles then hold me even tight, tskkk. Pagkaharap ko sa kanya, bumungad sakin ang gwapo at malangel nyang mukha, ang sarap nya sana pagmasdan pero umepal lang yung nakakaasar na ngisi sa labi nya.

"Without the word 'the'"

Ulit pa nya, huminga ako ng malalim. This man's also annoying, sometimes. Tsk. "I love view! Happy?!" I said in annoyed way while trying to push him back. Ramdam ko syang natigilan, pati ako na nagpupumiglas sa bisig nya parang binuhusan ng malamig na yelo nang marealize kung ano ang sinabi ko. Parehas kaming na tahimik habang sana ganon paring posisyon.

No... I clearly said view not you. Why does it sounds like you? Itinaas ko ang tingin kay Maximilian nakatitig lang sya sakin na para bang hinihintay ang sunod kong gagawin, ramdam ko ang pamumula ng pisnge ko, fuck this fucking life. I will die of shame.

Maximilian's POV

"My conclusion's right." I think while looking at her.

I should start preparing for our Marriage. What's a good spot... Church? Popular beach? Luxurious 5-star hotel? No, I need to make our wedding spectacular and one-of-a-kind.

What happens next? What number of children should we have? Seven? No, no... 303,000 women die in childbirth each year, giving birth to that many children might be disastrous. What about 3? No, I'll go with Four. Two girls and two boys. Idadaan ko nalang sa posisyon.

Naputol ako sa pagiisip ng magsalita si Yannis. "Don't get it wrong, Maxy. I said I love view-I mean the view!" My lips curved into a smirk. She's still in a panic, her face is so flustered. It's the first time she's been embarrassed in front of me. Such a cute reaction. I want to devour her whole.
