"Should we consummate our marriage tonight then?"

She closed her eyes tight and held the blanket tighter and press it closer to her body. Those words keeps playing in her mind that she can't hear anything other than those.

Her cheeks and ears are burning red. How could he say those words shamelessly? As if like it wasn't a joke and he really meant what he said.

Well he's a guy, they have needs but heck god, she never expect that it's still applicable to a guy as cold and scary as him.

She stiffen when she felt someone lie down beside her. Hindi niya ito makita dahil nakatalikod siya dito but she knows it's him, just by his frightening aura there's no other than him.

Ang kaninang mainit na mukha ngayon ay tila kasing init na ng klema ng Manila, ang kapital ng Pilipinas na kanyang lupang sinilangan sa kanyang unang buhay.

Halos lahat ata ng kanyang dugo ay nagsitakbuhan sa kanyang mukha. Pakiramdam niya hindi lang ang kanyang pisngi ang ngayon ay pulang-pula kundi lukop nito ang kabuuan ng kanyang wangis.

"Breath, duchess." Napamulat siya ng mata ng marinig ang malalim na boses nito sa kanyang gilid. Hindi niya namalayang hindi na pala siya humihinga.

Humugot siya ng malalim na hangin saka dahan-dahang ibinuga, trying to calm herself and act like he's just a mere lifeless doll, lying beside her until darkness consumed her afterwards.

Her sleep was disturbed when drowsiness and lethargic abandoned her, so she's here, wide awake in the middle of the night.

Hindi niya alam kung ilang oras ang kanyang tulog o umabot ba ng oras, nagising nalang siyang hindi na inaantok at kahit na anong pikit niya ng mata ay hindi parin siya dinadalaw ng antok.

Wala siyang ideya kung ilang minuto ng nakadilat ang kanyang mata, wala siyang ibang magawa kundi ang harap-harapang makipagtitigan sa kawalan.

Napatihaya siya ng higa.

The sound of crickets, the hymn of leaves blown by the wind and the chant of nocturnal birds makes the night calming and a place of tranquility.

Napalingon siya sa katabing tahimik na natutulog. Even he's asleep, his aura is still dominating. Despite resting his face, he's looking puritanical.

Tumagilid siya dito paharap. While he's lying with his face upward, she has a full view of his side profile.

She traced his face from his thick brows that is well arrange. His cold yet mesmerizing golden eyes is now closed but you'll still be in awe by the sight of his lashes that are thick and dark. His nose is high, slim and pointed. Her eyes traveled down to his slight plump lips. You could tell it's smooth, and even his visible adam apples didn't escape in her eyes either, it's so manly of him.

She unknowingly gulp and a ghost smile form on her lips while staring and admiring him.

He's perfectly sculpted, his overall physique was delicately molded to be the everly refined human walking proudly in the land of being.

How can as handsome and regal as him exist?

Why is this world living is blessed with godly look?

Bakit parang pinagkaitan ang Earth? May mga gwapo din naman sa dati niyang mundo ngunit ibang-iba ang antas kung iyong ihahambing sa mundong ito. Hindi ba't ang unfair naman ata non?

She pouted at the thought of unfairness, but a creepy smile crept on her face in seconds.

She slowly fished her dagger under her dress. She spin the dagger on her fingers expertly and stop the pointy and sharp blade right above his chest. She immediately lunges but before the sharp edge cut through his clothes, she stop.
