XAND'S POV
"Mom?" I called my mother as I descended the staircase of our villa here in Athens.
It's quite far from our family's palace, but they prefer to live here with Daddy since they've passed all the responsibilities in our family to me.
I do come here to visit them, and whenever I visit, I always see Mommy watching various things on her iPad while sitting next to Grandma and giggling as if they're thoroughly amused.
"Come here son, look at this, she's beautiful isn't she?" She said, showing me a picture of a woman.
"Who is she?" I couldn't help but ask while gazing at the serious expression on the woman's photo.
It's as if a paparazzi captured it; that's why she's not looking at the camera. Despite that, all I can say is that she's beautiful.
She's stunning, gorgeous, and looks fierce. She appears powerful and full of authority.
"She's now a part of one of the most successful millionaires in Asia. She's amazing, right?" My mom said, her voice filled with admiration as if she was proud of the woman.
"Asawahin mo to apo ah." Grandma chimed in, which my mom immediately agreed to.
I just shook my head, as if to say, do they think finding a spouse is that easy?
Almost all the women I know are gold diggers, only looking for money and wealth.
Especially in my case, they're only after titles and prosperity, so I don't pay attention to any of them.
I value marriage deeply, just like my parents and our legacy. That's why I've never allowed any woman into my life.
Even in matters of intimacy, I have no experience because I want it to be worth it for my future spouse.
However, despite all my beliefs, I couldn't help but recall the woman my mom showed me earlier.
I didn't even realize that I was holding my breath while looking at her photo.
My heart beats fast without any apparent reason, and it intensifies even more as I type the woman's name on Google.
Leven Belinda Zamora
I feel like a teenager watching her photos, even though I haven't seen the girl yet, I'm already attracted to her.
I stalked her.
It's so creepy, I know.
But I can't help myself.
I also found out that she's a Filipina, and even though I don't know much Tagalog, I studied it for her, so that if our paths ever cross, I won't be tongue-tied in front of her.
I also learned that she's only 23 years old, She graduated in business 2 years ago, but before that, she already started a business at the age of 15, which she further developed after graduating from college.
And even though she doesn't know me, I still can't help but feel proud of her. God, my girl is smart, my honey is one of a kind.
My stalking for the girl lasted for 2 more years until she turned 25 and I turned 28.
"Prince Alexander, Miss Zamora is scheduled to board in Crucero ship next week." My hired private investigator informed me, who is assigned to watch over the girl at all times.
The truth is, I'm also the reason why she doesn't have too many suitors. But some still manage to get through, even though I constantly find ways to block the guys who want to enter her life.
