"Why are we here? Aren't we going to go home?" I asked Maximus as I looked around the room. We just arrived in Paradis Zorion. I couldn't help but to get amazed of this hotel. The amenities and interior design were unique yet pleasing to the eye.

"We can't go back home yet." My eyebrows creased.

"Why?"

"Because they went there."

I gasped in shock. "What do you mean they went there? How did they discover that place?"

"You heard it right, mi hermosa. You might be wondering why I agreed for you to come to our mission today even if it was so dangerous. It was because of this. A spy of mine almost got caught yesterday but he managed to escape. But the problem was, he dropped his phone while escaping and my enemies got a hold of it.

"They used it to contact me and because I thought the one calling me was my Intel, I answered it. I'm sure that they already located that place already so I thought that it would be better for us not to go there yet."

"What about Lisa? They might hurt her." I answered worriedly. A small smile broke across his face.

"Don't worry. I made sure that she's safe. Besides, I doubt if they could get in my property just like that. Yes, they might located it already but I'm sure that they could never get the chance to get into the house." His voice was confident.

"How come you sound so confident? Your enemies as dangerous and has all the means to do whatever they could."

"Yes, you're right but if they have the means, I too have that. That place is full of traps. Besides that, my men are there right now. They're ready in case someone will attack any moment. Even though, we've been relaxing together lately, I made sure that we're prepared in case they manage to locate that place." I bit my lower lip and then heaved a sigh.

"What's wrong, mi hermosa? You look like you want to ask me something."

"Yeah, you're right. I'm just wondering about your men that you've been talking about. How come you have people working for you? What about Onyx and Joaquin? Are they really your friends or they're one of your men too?

"I mean, yes, you're a prince. But you've been away from your kingdom for so long and I can't help but to wonder how did you manage to have men working to protect you like this. I can tell that these men of yours are not just ordinary bodyguards. They're more than that." I voiced out my thought. He remained silent for a couple of seconds before he finally answered.

"Have you ever heard about Prince Kaiser of Esperanza?" My forehead scrunched. Esperanza is another monarch country not that far from Nuevo Imperio.

"Yes. What about him?"

"Many people helped him in order to take back his throne, right? A secret organization took him in and served as his protector until he was finally ready to fight for his right. That happened to me too. Onyx and Joaquin are part of them and aside from that, they're my friends."

"What is the name of this organization?" He pulled me by the waist until our bodies pressed together while gazing at me.

"I'm sorry, mi hermosa, but I can't tell you about it." I released a breath.

"Fine. I won't ask any more questions about them. I just hope that with their help, you could finally take back what rightfully yours soon."

He smiled. "It won't be easy but I will do everything I can to make that happen."

"You managed to catch that impostor of yours so I know that you could do it. You're getting there." His eyes turned somber.

"Eliminating that guy was only a fraction of the things that needed to be done. My enemies are well-prepared and has a lot of connection, but I won't lose. If they have connections, I have mine too. I came back prepared and this time, I won't fail." I hugged him and buried my face on his hard chest.

"I hope, everything will be okay soon." I answered with an almost inaudible voice. Somehow, I couldn't help but to feel mad of the situation, especially at those people who were making our lives hell.

Why do other people tend to steal things that don't belong to them in the first place? If everyone learns how to just appreciate what they have and respect others, then the world will be a lot peaceful.

I groaned in irritation when I heard my phone incessantly ringing. I looked at the time. It was already 7 am. I stretched my arm, intending to hug Maximus beside me but my forehead wrinkled when I realized that was alone in bed.

I reached for my phone on the bedside table. Maximus returned my phone to me a week after we finally made up but told me not to use it yet because it might endanger us. My lips parted in surprise when I saw the caller.

I then bit my lower lip. Maximus told me again yesterday not to answer any phone calls even if it came from my friends or family to avoid us getting track down.

I sighed and was about to put my phone back on the bedside table when the door opened and Maximus came in. He was holding a tray full of food. As usual, he was only wearing his boxers. Well, he would only do this whenever we're alone.

"Good morning, mi hermosa." He greeted with a smile but when my phone rang again, his eyebrows creased and his smile faded. "Who's calling?"

"It's Lucca." I answered. It has been so long since the last time I heard news about him and I felt guilty for not answering his call. Ever since he went home to Nuevo Imperio to find Greco months ago, I couldn't contact him anymore.

Maximus put the tray on the bedside table silently. I thought, he was mad but what he said next surprised me.

"You can use this to call him back." My jaw dropped.

"Are you sure? What if the enemies managed to track us down because of this?" A boyish smile appeared his face.

"No. Even if they try, they could never trace the location of this phone." He then handed the phone to me and then sat on the edge of the bed. I threw my arms around him full of happiness.

"Thank you, dolce metà."

"You're welcome." He then kissed my forehead. I then quickly went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After that, I dialed Lucca's number on the phone that he just gave me.

"Hello? Who's this?" It was Lucca. Happiness surged within me upon hearing his voice. It has been so long.

"Lucca..." I heard him gasp.

"Bella mia, is that you?!" A smile broke across my face upon hearing his usual endearment for me.

"Yes, it's me. How have you been? I'm sorry that I couldn't answer you calls a while ago."

"It's okay. You don't have to say sorry. I called you because I've been so worried about you. I'm here in the palace right now, by the way. I came to visit you but Amelia told me that you've been missing for almost two weeks now. What happened to you?" I bit my lower lip. So, he finally returned to Costavia.

"A lot has happened. I'll tell you about it when I get back. For now, I need to stay here."

"Why? What about your wedding with Prince Franco? He announced before that the wedding got cancelled because you have health issues. I got worried when I heard about that so I decided to go home." He sounded so worried.

I sighed. "I can't marry him. I'm in love with someone else." I admitted full of honesty. He gasped.

"Oh, my God. This is complicated. Where are you now then? Are you with someone?"

"Just like I told you a while ago, I can't talk about it for now. You're right. Everything's complicated." He heaved a sigh.

"Okay. I understand. Just make sure to take care of yourself." That made me smile.

"I will. Anyway, how are you now? How come I couldn't contact you for months while you were in Nuevo Imperio?"

"I lost my phone. I couldn't get a new one right away because I've been so busy looking for Greco."

"Where is Greco now? Did you manage to find him?"

"Yes. I thought, I wouldn't find him anymore but I did. He applied as a Royal guard here at your palace and got accepted. He started his work two weeks ago. Apparently, he came back here to Costavia last month."

"Good for him and you. At least, you finally found him." He giggled.

"You're right. I can't believe that we're together again. Anyway, I'm going to visit Daniella later. What a pity that you're not here with us. I miss hanging out with he two of you."

"Don't worry, bello mio. We'll be reunited soon." I answered. I missed them too. "Anyway, how's everything in the palace right now?"

I heard him release a breath. "It's strangely calm in here. It's like nothing's going on."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know. Your siblings and the Queen are behaving like their usual selves."

"What about Franco?" I asked and I saw Maximus' jaw clenched tightly upon hearing what I've said.

"Apparently, he went back to Nuevo Imperio two days after the cancelled wedding. After his press appearance here in Costavia, he'd been quiet lately. Now that I finally heard your side of the story, I can't help but to wonder how can they be so quiet about all this. I mean, have the accepted that there won't be wedding between you two anytime soon?" I heaved a sigh.

"I don't know, Lucca. I hope so." We chatted for a couple of minutes more before we ended the call.

"Are you okay?" I asked Maximus because I noticed that he was awfully quiet.

"Why did you ask about that b*stard?" I knew it.

"I asked Lucca about Franco because I wanted to get any information about what he's been doing lately. Don't tell me, you're jealous?" I asked with a hint of amusement in my voice.

"No. I just hate that you still remember about him."

"Of course, I still remember about him. I don't have amnesia to begin with." I answered, suppressing the smile on my face. He denied that he was jealous but jealousy was written on all over his face.

"Are you making fun of me?" He then asked with a scowl. I couldn't hold back and laughed.

"Oh, my gosh. You said that you weren't jealous but your face says it all. It's like, there's a sign written on your forehead saying, 'I'm jealous.'" I teased him full of amusement.

"So, you're making fun of me, huh?" His voice was low. I was about to answer when I squealed because he suddenly covered me with his body. He was now on top of me.

"What do you think you're doing?!" He smirked as his eyes darkened in desire.

"I'm going to punish you, mi hermosa."

"Why would you punish me? I didn't even do anything." I pouted but deep inside of me, I was amused. He's so cute.

"I can see it in your eyes, mi hermosa. You can't lie to me."

I chuckled and then cupped his face with my hands. "I can't help it. You're so cute whenever you're behaving like this."

"Cute, huh? I'll show you how cute I am." Before I could even react, he suddenly pulled my panties down to my feet and then threw it across the room. I was just wearing an oversized shirt and panties.

"What do you—" I was about to reprimand him when he suddenly parted my legs and then buried his face between my legs.

"Maximus!" I pulled on his hair as he began to eat me out like there's no tomorrow. I squeezed my eyes shut while biting my lower lip. Damn! His talented mouth was beginning to drive me insane. Later on, my hips were moving, grinding my wetness against his hungry mouth.

I was moaning and panting wantonly while calling his name repeatedly. I bit my lower lip in order to stifle my cries of pleasure especially when his raspy tongue targeted my hard nub relentlessly. It felt so good and I couldn't take it anymore.

I was almost there when he suddenly stopped. I felt like kicking him down there because of what he did. I opened my eyes and glared at him. He really likes teasing me like this whenever I tell him something that he doesn't like.

"Why did you stop?!" He chuckled.

"Stop what?" He answered feigning ignorance and that ticked me off.

"Maximus!" His face turned serious as his thumb covered my cl*t and played with it.

"Oh, sh*t! Yes, just like that." I felt so wet and hot and I knew that I needed more. My cries of pleasure became ore audible when he resumed eating me out.

"Yes! More, dolce metà. More..." I could feel it coming once again. My toes curled as I held onto his head, urging him to continue.

But to my big disappointed, he stopped again and left me hanging.

"Maximus! If you won't continue, I swear, there won't be any s*x for you for a month!" I threatened him, pissed off. He laughed.

"Damn. I didn't know that you would turn into lioness if I do this." I glared at him and sat up.

"That's it. I'm going to ask for another room." I was about to get off the bed but he didn't let me.

"Damn. Such a beautiful and feisty lines." He uttered before he continued what he was doing. This time, he was needier and hungrier. He placed my legs over his shoulders as he continued his onslaught.

"Oh, my. I'm almost there!" I declared as I pulled on his hair. He sucked my hard nub and then moved his head from side to side in a fast manner. I was already screaming in so much ecstasy as I felt it fast approaching.

That tingling sensation became even more intense and then it hit me. I exploded against his mouth. My eyes rolled back and I felt like the time stopped.

My body shook uncontrollably as I tried to catch my breath. It was too much.

"Oh, God. You're really so naughty. I thought, you wouldn't let me finish." I uttered while still catching my breath. I slowly opened my eyes and met his gaze. His eyes were dancing with mischief. My body was still twitching.

He gave me one last lick before answering. "That's your punishment for making fun of me." I rolled my eyes and was about to sit up when I saw him removing his boxers.

"And what do you think you're doing?" I asked with an eyebrow cocked up. He smirked.

"What else do you think, mi hermosa?" He even wiggled his eyebrows.

"W-What about our breakfast?" I asked and looked at the food that he cooked.

"It can wait, mi hermosa. I can't take it anymore. I want you now." He said huskily and then positioned himself between my legs. I looked at his angry manhood and my body went hotter even more. It looked so hard as if it was about to burst.

Heat dominated my whole system. My need for him felt like a scorching fire that engulfed my whole body.

"I just want to correct what you said a while ago. There won't be any s*x for me because I always make love with you. I hope, that's clear to you." That brought smile on my face.

"I know, dolce metà. I know." Our lips met for a passionate kiss.

Later on, our moans and groans accompanied by naughty sounds of s*x were echoing inside the room.

Making love with each other was always been our addiction. I felt like we're in our own world and the feeling was incomparable.

After making love, we showered together and then ate the breakfast that he cooked for the both of us and it was delicious.

I momentarily forgot all the negativities and just enjoyed my time with him. I thought, that day would be so perfect but when the evening came, I received a text message and I felt like I lost all my strength as my heart throbbed in fear.

"Iñigo..."
