Lellouch passed out after hearing the revelation of her mother. When she woke up, she was lying in a huge comfortable bed. A luxurious and sophisticated linen in gold covered her body that smells fresh and inviting. Looking at her side, a balcony views a serene sight of the beach.
Everything looks perfect and enticing when she snapped out of her haze. This is definitely not her room and she's not in her house. And what makes it more alarming is that she can feel the blanket covered her whole body.
She's not wearing anything!
"What's going on? Where am I?" She started to panicked and wrapped the golden blanket to herself. She walks out of the balcony and saw it was dead end. The stairs going down leads directly to the clear-bluish waters. She looks at sideways and noticed it was a huge structure that looked like a castle rather than a hotel building.
She turned right away and went to the living room – searching a door for a way out until she found one. She opened the door hastily and was about to leave when she bumped hard to someone standing in front of her. Closing her eyes, she was preparing for the impact as she was about to fall when two pairs of strong arms wrapped around her waist
"Phew! That was close." Alejandro chuckled as he tried to balance himself while holding her. He can't help but smile looking at the young woman in his arms. Her hair was a beautiful mess as its curls fall down her chest. Her face was flushed like a freshly baked cinnamon. And her lips caught him off guard. Looking at them, they are full, plum and moist. He tried to resist the urge of licking and devouring them.
Lellouch slowly stir and their eyes locked to each other while Alejandro lost his grin as it was replaced with longing. Nobody dares to move, not letting the overwhelming feelings died at present. The tense in the surrounding intensifies as Alejandro looked desirously to her face until it stopped to her lips.
Considering their positions right now, Lellouch was reminded of their quick passionate kiss the other night. Her heart pounded so loud as Alejandro's face slowly move closer towards her, aiming her moist lips. The anticipation is so strong and she was about to close her eyes when, in a span of moment, Lucas came.
"Mr. Grand, I think you have forgotten – "He stopped mid-sentence, witnessing the indisputable sight. "Sorry for my intrusion, but I must leave." he added as he quickly exited the area. He noticed the butler going the same way so he instructed him not to disturb the Young Princess.
Lellouch straightened her body and get back on her feet. She cleared her throat and pulled the blanket closer to her neck. Her face was so red that she can't look directly at Alejandro. While the man , on the other hand, was full of amusement.
"Where am I?" finally she asked.
"You are in my house." Alejandro answered, trying to calm his nerves. He suddenly felt the ache of wanting her. "Which is your house as well."
Her eyes widened. She still hasn't recovered from the revelation on their previews encounter. A lot of things are going on in her head. Why were her parents attacked? Who are those armed men looking for them? Is she really a Grand? And who is this Alejandro, are they siblings?
Alejandro noticed the confusion in her face so without a word, he carried her towards the bed. Lellouch was distracted again with what he did and tried to escape from his grasp. "Move, or you will fall hard." He warned her and she instantly behaved, waiting for him to place her on the bed. "Good girl." He uttered as he put her down gently. She felt good in his arms that it was hard for him to let go.
"I don't know where to start." She said honestly, looking so helpless.
"I'll do the talking, you do the listening." He commanded and she obliged. She was very submissive just to quench her confusion. "You are an heir of the Grand Family. Your parents divorced when you're not even born. On the day your mother gave birth to you, her mansion was attacked. The intension was to kill you both. Fortunately, you were saved by Marilyn, your mother's housekeeper, and Felix. Now that the enemy knew you were alive, they were after you, once again."
"What does it have to do with my known parents?"
"It's about the cellar."
"You mean, the wine cellar?" the suspicion started to build in her mind.
"Yes. I believe that's the only information I can give you, for now." Alejandro sighed. He knew that the information will not satisfy her.
"Then what does it makes us? Now that I am a Grand then are we siblings?"
"No." he answered right away.
"Cousins?"
"Definitely not. "
"Then what at are we?" Her voice started to raise that made Alejandro pushed her on the bed. Now she trapped with both hands of his on her both sides.
"Were – "Alejandro stopped. He finds it hard explain the situation. Now he is torn between which side he wants her to believe in. He can't just tell him that he is the son of the woman her father cheated with. He can't tell her as well that they are siblings since they aren't blood related.
He wanted to convince himself that they are just a family but the kiss they shared last night made it impossible. He lost all his convictions when she's in front of him.
He stands and loosened his tie. This is getting out of hand. Looking at her almost naked makes him want her like a wanton caveman.
"I know things are so confusing now. In time, you'll get to understand. For now, just wear something so we can eat."
Lellouch blushed again when she noticed that the blanket couldn't hide her full nipples, so she quickly grabbed the blanket. "Go out, you pervert!"
Alejandro chuckled as he leaved the room. Closing the door, he leaned on the wall. Sweat started to crawl down on his spine. He almost lost control. Spotting Lucas walking towards him, his face darkened.
"It's wasn't intentional, you know that." He said defensively remembering what happened earlier.
"So, you're saying that the timing was right?" he responded with sarcasm.
Lucas scratch his hair. Trying to think for another alibi but he failed. Instead he just laughed. "They were taken cared already by a private doctor." He said, referring to Felix and Marilyn Go. He shifted to a serious tone. "We have checked the rest of the doors but those were all locked. We did not dare asked Felix Go so he won't become suspicious of our intentions."
"Good, though we have him, we can't be too sure if he is really on our side. We need to earn more of his trust." He said in agreement.
"How about the Young Princess? Have you told her the truth about her parents?" he caught him off guard. The guiltiness is evident in his face. "What plans do you have in mind?"
"She is a powerful weapon. I can make use of her for my revenge." He concluded before walking away.
Meanwhile, Fabio was assisted by the front desk of Saving Grace Orphanage International. He was one of the sponsors of the orphanage and is quite popular among the staff. He arrived at Philadelphia as soon as he finalized his plans.
"Unfortunately, Lellouch Go resigned just yesterday." The Director of the Orphanage informed Fabio as soon as he revealed his intentions.
Upon hearing this, his face darkened. "What might be the reason of her quick resignation?" he asked under his breath.
"We heard an accident happened to her parents that pushed her to go back home. We are still hoping that she will settle her predicament soon since she was a good asset in the orphanage." The Director explained, although, this is unnecessary for Fabio.
The Director has more to say to him but Fabio interrupted the conversation and inform that he needed to leave. As soon as he enters his tented car he punches the back of the driver's seat in frustration.
"Shit!" he exclaimed. "Damn you Alejandro! Damn you!" his furious face was already sweating with anger. "Take me home, and tell Valerie to prepare herself on my bed." He ordered as he loosened his tie. In a few minutes, his secretary followed him in the front seat. "Make sure that whatever you say is good news."
His secretary swallowed hard before he spoke, "T-the house of G-Go household has been burned down. Now the property has been closed."
"So, Alejandro burned the house so Lellouch can go back home. Ha! What a nasty idea!" she clinched his fist as he ordered," Prepare the plane, I'm going to visit my dear cousin tonight."
The driver and the secretary look at each other before responding. "Y-yes, Master."
Reaching his huge mansion at Chestnut Hill, he went straight to the Masters Bedroom where Valerie waited for him – almost naked.
"How do you want to be served, Master?" she asked in a teasing tone. She laid there, like a platter of delicious meal.
"Show me what you've got." Fabio spoke while gritting his teeth and he torn the laced nighties of Valerie. In despite the harsh behavior of Fabio, she submits fully to the man with all her heart.
