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

Chapter 32

Night came and the party in the El Greco household started. The venue was at the grand hall of the palace which held all their royal parties. The grand hall had a grand chandelier hanging above the high ceiling, the long tables filled up the space on the sides of the wide space in the middle of the  hall which serves as the dance floor. The intricate designs screams how well off are the royalties residing at the palace. The foods served looks so salivating. And on the side of the table in front which serves as seats of the El Greco's is the grand staircase where the residence of the said household ascend and descend from their royal seats to the grand hall.

Nasa grand hall na ang ibang El Greco kasama ng former king and queen ng palasyo, nakikihalubilo sa mga guests. Third, Fourth, Five, Six, and Seven are now having their drinks, together with their fathers Genesis, Isaiah, and Jacob together with their wives. The girls are still glamming up while Uno and Dos are waiting for their lady. Maya-maya pa ay nagsalita na ang host, informing everyone the appearance of the ladies. The first to appear and ascend to the grand staircase was Eight, followed by Eris, and then Iris. They were formally introduced to the high society as members of the royal family. After them was Dos together with his lady—Haze, and their little princess Hezekiah. Hindi naitago sa mukha ng mga dumalo sa pagdiriwang na iyon ang pagkabigla, pagkagulat sa kanilang nalaman, at pagkadismaya naman sa ibang kababaihan. Hezekiah was formally introduced as one of the princess of the palace. And lastly was Uno who had his arms wrapped around the waist of his lady who stunned the guests. The beauty of the woman captivated the eyes of the guests with her fierce and elegant look, but she captivated the crowned prince of the palace even more that he couldn't get his gaze away from her.

Kung marami ang humanga sa gandang taglay ni Krystal nang gabing iyon, marami rin ang tumaas ang kilay hindi lang dahil sa gandang taglay ng dalaga kung hindi pati na rin sa paraan ng paghawak ni Uno sa kaniya. It was gentle, like she was the most precious thing on this Earth, and the way he look at her with such adoration. Envy was not enough to describe what they felt towards the woman beside the prince they admire and fantasize.

Oblivious to the hateful glares of some girls out there, are the proud look on the faces of the El Greco men, the elder and the younger ones. It was already clear to them what the future of the two would become. It's either they get married right away or the man will go crazy first before they tie the knot. Kahit saan sa dalawa, alam na nila ang kahihinatnan ng isang El Greco kapag tinamaan. They just shared a knowing look and shook their head and sigh.

"Baby, gusto mong maupo na?" Uno asked the lady beside him. He was worried for her, she might have been tired already. Buntis pa naman ito, kaya mas lalong ayaw niyang napapagod ito, liban na lamang kung sa paborito niyang paraan ito mapapagod.

"Yeah, nakakangalay kahit naka-flats ako" tugon naman ng dalaga.

She's wearing flat sandals since she was not allowed to wear something with high heels such as stiletto—well more like she did not allow herself to wear something like that specially now that she's pregnant. She can't risk her baby. Nakadepende pa sa kaniya ang anak kaya kailangan niya ng ibayong pag-iingat.

Agad naman siyang nakahinga ng maluwag nang makaupo na sa upuang nakalaan para sa kanila. And when her eyes settled on the foods, her mouth instantly watered and crave for it. Agad naman siyang inasikaso ni Uno.

She was eating heartily, and he was just watching her. His heart swell with happiness as he stare at her warmly, realizing she was really carrying their child, and she was craving for something that could satisfy her taste buds specially now that she's getting picky, and been eating something weird. Looking at her like this felt so warm that he couldn't help himself falling deeper.

Tumingin siya sa paligid at saka nakita si Dos na abala rin sa pag-aasikaso sa mag-ina nito. Pero hindi man lang nakitaan ng pagod ang mukha ng kapatid, bagkus nakangiti pa ito sa mag-ina, kumikinang ang mga mata sa tuwa. He was happy for his brother, after everything he went through when his lover left him, he can now finally smile and laugh genuinely. Once again Uno saw that smile on his brother's lips and he knew everything Dos does—all his efforts were all worth it.
