After Alister realized that his son's problem was about falling in love, he immediately discussed the matter with his wife. Just like him, Melisa was both surprised and relieved after she heard Alister's explanation. Melisa was surprised that Emilio had suddenly said he liked someone. And she was relieved that the reason for Emilio's recent change in demeanor was because the girl her son liked had suddenly disappeared without a trace.Once Emilio's problem became clear, Melisa also helped out by using her connections to search for the girl named Ariana. Unfortunately, since they couldn't let the girl know that they were looking for her, they could only hire some professional detectives to look for her whereabouts.Emilio could see that his parents were trying hard to help him and slowly began to calm down. Both Melisa and Alister were also happy when they saw that their son was finally cheerful and active again after Emilio revealed his problem to them.After his leg healed, Emilio fi
From the observations he made before returning to school, Emilio already knew that 'he' was a popular kid in his school. Emilio who was used to being surrounded by people felt he could handle the popularity. But once recess rolled around and Cornell forcefully dragged him to eat in the cafeteria, Emilio finally realized that there was a big difference between his popularity as a Prince and his current popularity.Emilio thought Cornell's rudeness was the only exception. The teenager tried to endure because he still needed information from Cornell about Ariana. But once he met the other kids, Emilio finally knew that everyone was indeed talking casually toward him. Some of them even clearly treated Emilio like a child. Emilio didn't know what 'he' was doing before this. But now that 'her' body was fully his, Emilio no longer let everyone talk to him as they pleased.Under Emilio's sharp gaze and cold speech, those who previously talked and acted familiarly with him began to retreat one
Alister should have known that Emilio's crush on the girl named Ariana was not as superficial as he thought. Even if Emilio was shocked to discover that the girl of his dreams lived in the slums, his son soon returned determined to meet the girl. Alister recalled how worried Emilio had been a few weeks ago. Alister knew he couldn't forbid his son. So, the only thing he could do was to immediately send Emilio the address he had gotten.["But Emilio, Father cannot rest until I can ensure your safety. That slum is not a safe place. If you really want to meet that girl, at least bring some bodyguards to accompany you."]"I understand."Emilio was not an unreasonable man. After his father offered some extra protection, Emilio immediately accepted without much protest. Emilio hung up his call after that. The teenager hurried to prepare, then returned to his house in a hurry."Young Master, we have prepared the car."As expected from his father. As soon as Emilio came out, he was immediately
" ... Master!"" ... Young Master!""Young Master, please stop your punches! You're going to kill him if you don't stop!"When Emilio regained consciousness, the teenager could see that one of the two bodyguards who had entered with him was trying to separate his body from the man who had been knocked unconscious by Emilio's punches. But when Emilio realized that the man was still breathing, he immediately tried again to finish the man off. In two previous lives, the man had planned Ariana's murder. And in this life, the man hurt Ariana again with both hands.As Emilio saw the big hands on Ariana's skin, Emilio could only think that the man wanted to kill Ariana again. Familiar faces overlapped when Emilio saw the man. Emilio didn't think he could forgive Marquis Daedalus, after what the man had done to Ariana so far."Let me kill him! He'll kill Ariana if I don't kill him this time!""Young Master!"As the commotion Emilio had caused reached Ian's ears, the Emilio family's driver imm
After everyone entered the car, they quickly left the slums to avoid any unnecessary commotion. Along the way, Emilio, who had Ariana on his lap, refused to let her go. Now, Ariana's clothes were also covered in blood from leaning on Emilio's body. However, the girl felt she could not be angry, especially when Emilio looked at her with a melancholy gaze."Does it hurt?"Ariana looked up when she heard Emilio's question. The girl recalled the more severe blows she had received in the past and shook her head to answer Emilio's question."Not really."Although Ariana was embarrassed that Emilio touched her face so carefully, she still forced herself to speak to the young man. Ariana's clear eyes caught that Emilio was getting sad at her answer. Emilio's eyes glazed over again as if the young man was saddened by Ariana's injury."Young Master, are we going to the hospital this time?"Ian, who was sensitive to Emilio's feelings began to speak to divert the teenager's sadness. But instead,
If someone were asked to briefly describe Ariana's life so far, they could probably only describe her as a poor, beautiful girl. Ariana had to live with an uncle who didn't hesitate to beat her whenever she disobeyed. And even though Ariana was born smart, she was forced to never go to school because of the strange arrangements made by her uncle.Ariana was not allowed to leave the house without his permission. She was also not allowed to do anything to her body, including cutting her hair like she did today.Throughout her life, Ariana had to live in fear because of her uncle's aggressive nature. Since childhood, Ariana has learned to be cautious so as not to upset her uncle and beat her again. But her uncle's obsession started to get angrier when he started to see Ariana differently this year. Her uncle started seeing Ariana as a grown woman, and that made it impossible for Ariana to get a good night's rest while he was home.Ariana thought she would never get a good night's sleep a
"Welcome back, Ma'am."Melisa gave a small nod in reply to the greeting her maid gave her as soon as she arrived home. Unlike usual, this time Melisa returned early because she heard the news that Emilio had found the girl he was looking for. Melisa also got a report on what happened after that. Though she didn't feel so good, especially when she heard that Emilio had almost killed someone else to save Ariana.Even if Emilio had a change of attitude due to falling in love, changing to the point where the gentle Emilio turned into an aggressive person was not a good sign. Melisa frowned with a complicated feeling. The change in her son alone was enough to give Melisa and Alister a headache. But now, they also had to deal with the trouble Emilio had caused because he was making noise in the slums."You're back."Once Melisa reached the living room, she saw that her husband had arrived home first. Just like her, Alister also seemed to be thinking about things before Melisa arrived. The ma
Due to Emilio's previous rude actions, things were a little awkward when Ariana and Emilio finally went downstairs for dinner. Emilio still accompanied Ariana to meet with her family. But because his feelings still hadn't calmed down due to Ariana's previous remarks, Emilio unconsciously kept quiet more because he was busy with his thoughts. Ariana also didn't dare to say much because of that. She followed Emilio obediently until the girl could finally see Emilio's parents.Although Melisa and Alister could not possibly lack the money to hire many servants, they had agreed to only hire servants who would go home when nighttime had come. Except for the times when Melisa and Alister both couldn't make it home so they had to call a servant to take care of Emilio, all the housework was done by the two of them at night. When Emilio and Ariana came down from the room upstairs, Melisa was preparing dinner with Alister helping to set the food on the dining table."Ah, sit down first, Kids. The
