El Greco series 1: Dealing with Mr. Billionaire [COMPLETED]

Chapter 29

Habang pababa ang helicopter ay lumilinaw ang view sa ibaba. Nakikita na ng malinaw ang ilog, at ang mga estrukturang nagtataasan. Habang papalapit siya sa lugar ay nagugustuhan niya lalo ang nakikita. It was beautiful. And she was in awe.

Uno just watch his woman staring at the view underneath the clouds and light of the sun. They were heading to the heart of Florence where the El Greco's palace stands. He observe her reaction, the admiration in her eyes, and it was much more attractive than any tourist attractions. He would always be fascinated with her more than anything else. Wala pa nga itong ginagawa ay nakukuha na ng dalaga ang atensiyon niya, bagay na hindi niya alam kung batid ba ng dalaga.

"Like what you see baby?" tanong niya rito, tumango naman ang dalaga at saka sumagot.

"Sobra, ang ganda. Pero saan pala tayo lalapag?"

"Palazzo El Greco baby"

Few moments later, they landed on top of the roof next to the peak of the palace. And right after they landed, they were welcomed by the family's butler Leonardo.

"Your highness" bati ni Leonardo kay Uno sabay yuko bilang paggalang sa katayuan nito sa palazzo.

Pagkatapos ay bumaling siya sa kasama ng prinsipe, at base sa galaw ng prinsipe tungo sa dalaga, masasabi niyang mahalaga ang dalaga rito. Kaya naman binati niya rin ito nang may kasamang paggalang.

"Signorina" bati niya rito sabay yuko ng kaunti. Lingid sa kaalaman niya ay ikinatuwa iyon ni Uno.

"Welcome to the house of El Greco" dagdag pa ng butler at saka bumaling sa prinsipe.

"His Majesty is in the main residence together with everyone" he informed his highness, the latter just nodded.

"Okay, lead the way" and so Leonardo, the butler did what was told. His highness and his highness' lady was just behind him.

Krystal was still in shocked stage, her lips parted, she still can't believe what she just heard.

"Hey baby, you okay?" Krystal blinked twice when she heard him calling her attention.

"Uhm, yeah. I just can't process what I just saw. Just what and who are you?" tila wala pa rin sa wisyong saad ni Krystal sa binata.

Napakamot naman sa ulo si Uno, he knew it was unbecoming of a prince but he can't help it with the situation he was in. He didn't like introducing himself as a member of the royal family, moreover, he dislike telling everyone else that he is an heir to the throne. But she was asking him in genuine curiousity, and it feels like a sin not telling her who he was behind that womanizer reputation he had away from Florence.

"Uhm, I am a prince" alanganing sagot ni Uno sa dalaga. He don't want to intimidate her with his status.

Krystal's lips parted. Him being a billionnaire already made her feel small, but knowing that he was a prince made her feel like she wasn't worthy of walking beside him. She had always known that El Greco's came from old money, she had the idea of them being from a royal bloodline but she never knew they were royalties in standing up until now. Tila ngayon lang nag-sink in sa kaniya ang nangyari, kung bakit doon sila sa matayog at magarang estruktura lumapag imbis na sa grassland. Nakapanliliit. That was what she exactly feel. Oo nga't ang papa niya ay galing din sa royal family ng España pero nagtapos ang pagiging royalty ng papa niya noong itinakwil ito ng mga magulang, so technically speaking, they were just ordinary citizens. Unlike this man beside her, he was high and mighty, and damn, he's a prince for goodness sake.

Did I just fucked a prince? Tanong niya sa isipan. Bakit parang ang swerte yata niya kung iisipin? Kasi hindi lang isang beses, dalawang beses, o tatlo, kung hindi maraming beses na. Oh fuck what am I thinking? He's still the Uno Gabriel El Greco I knew, that billionnaire whom I offered myself in exchange of my mother's welfare. Iyon lang. Ngayon kung prinsipe man siya ay labas na ako roon, it was not like I planned it, afterall I didn't knew he was a prince.
