Reverie's Awakening

Chapter 19

Chapter 19.

His name was Damian and he was a man of few words and endless secrets. Kahit saan siya magpunta ay iniiwasan siyang tingnan ng mga lalaki at walang babaeng nangahas na lumapit sa kanya dahil delikado at malamig ang aura niya na pumapalibot sa kanya.

Damian, a man known for his dangerous demeanor, felt himself strangely at ease with Seraphina. He had always been feared by anyone that crossed his path, but she was different. Her innocence and unwavering trust had warmed even the coldest corners of his heart.

The days turned into weeks, and Damian found himself drawn to Seraphina in ways he never thought possible. As he spent more time with her, he began to see glimpses of a world beyond the cold and dangerous exterior he had always known. Her innocence and naivety were like a breath of fresh air, reminding him of a life he had long forgotten.

Damian's reputation had preceded him, his name whispered like a curse among the shadows. Darius Maximilian Blackthorne was a man to be feared, a calculating figure who showed no mercy to those who wronged him. Anyone who crossed paths with Darius Maximilian Blackthorne knew the depths of his ruthlessness.

A calculated glance, a firm tone — these were enough to send shivers down spines

His heart had been locked away for years, untouched by love or warmth. Love was an alien concept to him, a distant feeling he never thought he'd understand. That is until Seraphina Callista Delacroix entered his world.

She was an innocent, naive soul who had no idea what the world Damian lived in had to offer. With her innocence and naivety, she seemed like a breath of fresh air in the darkness he was accustomed to.

Nang magtama ang kanilang mga mata sa unang pagkakataon ay may nagbago sa loob ni Damian – bagay na hindi pa niya nararanasan noon. He felt drawn to her like a magnet. He wanted to keep her safe from the dangerous world he resided in and show her things she had never seen before.

An ethereal beauty with an innocence that was both captivating and disarming, she seemed oblivious to the darkness that Damian embraced. Her laughter resonated through the air like the sweetest melody, coaxing a glimmer of warmth in his icy heart.

Seraphina, a girl untouched by life's difficulties, had never delved in the world of relationships. A breath of innocence in a world that often forgot such purity existed. She navigated life with a charming naivety, her knowledge of relationships limited to the simplest of gestures. Hugs and kisses were the extent of her understanding, the complexities of love and companionship unknown to her.

Ang kanyang dalisay na puso, na hindi nababahiran ng pait ng mundo, ang nakakuha ng atensyon ni Damian.

"Damian let's go! Come on!"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Damian at hinatak siya papunta sa bayan. Nalaman ko mula kay Nanay Rosa na may fiesta na magaganap ngayon sa bayan ng Silentwood kaya agad kong niyaya si Damian na pumunta kami.

Tuwang-tuwa siya na pumayag si Damian na sumama sa kanya sa fiesta ng bayan. Habang naglalakad sila, hindi niya napigilan ang excitement na nararamdaman niya. She couldn't help but to speed up, causing Damian to grinned and scold her to walk slowly.

Napangiti si Callista nang maramdaman ang init ng kamay ni Damian sa kamay niya.

"Walk slowly, Callista. You might fall." Seryosong sambit ni Damian habang hinihila ko siya. Bumagal naman ang lakad ko at sinabayan siya sa paglalakad. She nodded in agreement, careful of her footing, and slowed her pace to match his. She then stopped and looked up at him with a smile.
