...Time went by, and the two people kept working in the office, stealing glances at each other from time to time.It was a lovey dovey situation. But they did nothing. They worked hard, each of them with a smile of their faces.Soon, it was almost lunch hour. And a certain someone was beginning to yawn while rubbing her little belly. Deagan looked at her and smiled. But before he could say anything, there was a knock on his door.He looked up immediately and grunted in reply, allowing the person to come in.But his face was immediately covered with a look of dissatisfaction when Stella walked in. What did she want today?He stole a look at Sunna, and he could tell that she was dissatisfied as well."Is something up?" Deagan asked Stella, his voice as cold as usual. He did not think they had time for her now.Stella bowed immediately. "Yes boss," she said. "I am sorry about what happened earlier. I came to apologize. I promise that it will not happen again."Deagan pursed his lips. B
There came another knock. And Deagan sighed. "Come in," he said. Sandra walked in tensely and bowed. "Boss, you asked for me?" She asked. She was well aware of the issue at hand.Sunna recognized her immediately as the woman at the reception. But she remained so calm."Mmh," Deagan nodded, his voice cold again. "You turned down my visitor. What exactly is your work?" He asked.But he was not as cold as he was to Stella. He knew that Sandra had always worked well. And he was someone who always respected the rules. He was not very sure of what that had happened today."Um...I..." Sandra was trembling. In fact, despite being the receptionist, she had never set foot in the president's office. This was the first time.And she came here because she had committed a mistake. She was praying, if not for her job, then for her own life. She knew what kind of people presidents could be."You have ten seconds to explain," Deagan said. " If not, you can kiss your work goodbye."He had planned to d
"Mmh," Deagan nodded at her. "You were supposed to give me a kiss, right?" Sunna trembled a little, looking at his lips that were just so attractive to her.And unconsciously, she licked her lips that were feeling so dry at that time.Her actions lit something in Deagan's eyes. But he had to hang on the last straw of self control that he had.Otherwise, he would have jumped on her and devoured her delicious lips, getting all of her sweetness."Come on darling," he said. "The door is closed. No one will come in."Sunna swallowed hard again, her hands sweating. "I..." She stammered. It was true that the door was locked, no one would come in. But she was still feeling tensed up."I am waiting dear," Deagan urged her on, looking deeply into her crystal large eyes.But Sunna was still hesitating. She was not even sure of what that she was supposed to do.Deagan brought his thumb close to her lips and slightly caressed the lower one. "Are you scared of me?" He asked. He could see how much
...On Sunday evening, Sunna went to sleep again since she was still tired. But when she woke up, Deagan was not around.She became tensed up, thinking that he might have left. Maybe he was running away again?She was always having that certain kind of fear whenever she woke up and did not see him around."Dad, where is Dee?" She asked her dad with worry. Did he lie to her so that he could escape when she was not aware?Malden sighed. "He left," He said. "I think he is busy doing something. But he said that you call him when you wake up.""He did?" Sunna asked as she looked for her phone. She wanted to confirm as fast as possible.She called him, and luckily, he picked up almost immediately. "Dee?" Sunna called in relief. "Where are you?""At the company... Why?" Deagan asked back. But he did not miss the tenseness in her voice."Um... Nothing," Sunna said. So he had just gone to the company? He had not escaped."Do you miss me?" Deagan asked again teasingly. "I miss you a lot. Can y
Sunna struggled, trying to reach for her phone. She was hoping that she would be able to contact anyone who would help her.But before she could do anything, the phone was taken away from her. "Do not do anything stupid if you want to keep your life," they warned her.She felt helpless. What would happen if their boss wanted her life? She did not have any means to look for help.She was silent for so long. And the worst was the fact that she could not even see their faces, or where they were taking her."How much did your boss offer you?" She asked. She did not want to worry her dad again. The men laughed at her. "What does that have anything to do with you?" They asked. And their laughter gave her even a worst feeling.She swallowed loud. " Let us talk... What... What if I offered you five times the amount he is paying? Will you let me off?" She asked, pitifully. She was already on the verge of tears.Money was nothing compared to her life now. She still wanted to live. She wanted t
But Sunna shook her head at him immediately. "No! I love it a lot!" She asked and picked the ring from the table, hugging it close to her heart.Deagan relaxed when he saw her do that. At least, she loved it. He was just so happy.He took her palm and took the ring from her, a smile on his lips. Sunna was a bit confused. "Dee?" She called. Why was he snatching the ring now?However, she was shocked when she saw him go to his knees. And immediately, the light in the room dimmed."Uh!" She gasped again as nice blue lights took over, glittering over their bodies. And a sweet and soft music began to play.'From the very beginning I knew you were mineNothing that happenedStopped me from lovingIn my thoughtsIt was always youAnd now, I hopeThat things remained this goodBecause I wantTo grow old together with you It will be greatTouching each other's grey hairIn the future days to comeSo, dear little princessPlease, give me this chanceTo love you.'Sunna became so emotional wh
On Monday, Deagan and Sunna registered for their marriage. Deagan had wanted to hold a grand wedding for her, but Sunna was still against exposing it.So he was just satisfied with having her like that. He thought that what that mattered most was her being there with him.However, he had just got home and wanted to spend some time with her when he received a call. He was summoned to the palace.He was a bit confused. Did the king not ask him to stay away? Why was he being called now?He looked at the girl beside him and pursed his lips. They had just gotten married today for heaven's sake! Why couldn't they be allowed to spend their time together?"Are you needed somewhere?" Sunna asked him quietly. She could tell that he was battling with something.For him to be like that, it meant that there were two situations that he was finding difficult to choose from.Deagan sighed and hugged her tightly. "I do not want to go," he said. "I want to spend time with you. And...today is supposed t
Once Deagan reached the palace, he went straight to the king's chambers. He wanted to be done as soon as possible and ficus on his own work, which was going back to his Sunna."Dad," he called as he took a seat. But immediately he looked at the man, he sensed that something was not right."You came back..." The king said calmly. But it seemed like there was a lot of questioning in his statement.Deagan creased his brows. But he still nodded. "Mmh," he said. "I came back on Saturday. I decided to get married back in the country...""What?" The king was slightly taken aback. "Are you married already?" Deagan felt a little guilty. But he still nodded. "I had told you earlier that I would soon get married. I am sorry I did not say it again. I was just trying to keep the distance like you had asked me to, for our safety."He had decided to cut all forms of communication from the palace like he had been asked by his dad.Only like that, the would be able to keep their secrets from their en
After the grand wedding ceremony, Deagan and Sunna returned to the palace as husband and wife. Sunna's pregnancy was now more visible, but she was glowing with happiness. Deagan had been sworn in as the new king, following the customs of the kingdom. However, it was not an ordinary transition of power. Prior to the wedding, Deagan and his father, King Alfrond, had signed an agreement that would bring significant changes to the kingdom.As per the agreement, Deagan was now the rightful king of the kingdom, but he had to make some important amendments to the existing laws. The most important amendment that he made was to banish all forms of discrimination between werewolves, vampires, demigods, and humans. This was a bold move, as discrimination had been part of the kingdom's culture for centuries. But Deagan was determined to bring positive change to the kingdom, and he knew that this was the right thing to do.On the day of his coronation, Deagan made a speech that change the cour
After their visit to the palace, Deagan and Sunna had to face the pressure from both the palace and home to announce their upcoming wedding date. King Alfrond had made it clear that he wanted a grand wedding befitting a prince, while Sunna's parents were eager to see their daughter wedded to her prince charming.Deagan had been taking his time because he wanted to hold the grandest wedding for Sunna. He wanted every detail to be perfect, from the venue to the flowers, to the food and drinks. He had been secretly planning the wedding with the help of the palace staff, but he had not yet set a date.But with the pressure from both the palace and home, Deagan knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to announce the wedding date and start the preparations.He too wanted to marry her in the right way now. Of course, they had the certificates, but he wanted to legalize it. He did not want then to be married only in papers.He gathered his family and Sunna's family in the grand hall of the
...Deagan woke up early to make sure everything was ready. He packed Sunna's bags and left a note on her pillow, telling her to be ready to leave in an hour.When Sunna woke up and read the note, she was confused. She had no idea where they were going or what they were doing. She was sure that Deagan had not told her anything about travelling.Still, she quickly got dressed and packed took her bags, wondering what surprise Deagan had in store for her.Deagan picked Sunna up in his black limousine and took her to the airport. Sunna was still in the dark about where they were going, but she was excited to find out.When they arrived at the airport, Deagan surprised Sunna with first-class tickets to Country P. She couldn't believe it. She had always wanted to visit Country P, and now she was finally going."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked, trying to force a pout, but the joy on her face betrayed her.Deagan chuckled and pinched her nose. "It would not be a surprise if I told
...During dinner, the family was seated around the table enjoying their meal. Sunna, who had been unusually quiet during dinner, waited until everyone was done eating before looking at Deagan and smiling.She announced that she had something to say, which made her dad, mom, and Deagan look at her anxiously. Sunna slowly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Deagan. Deagan creased his brows, wondering what she was up to. "What is this?" He asked.But the girl just smiled. "You can read, right?" She asked.Deagan sighed and ran his eyes over the words on the paper. And was surprised to see that it was a pregnancy test result."You are pregnant?" Deagan asked in shock. His face was dark that she could not read his emotions.Sunna nodded in fear, scared that Deagan would not be happy about the news. "How old abd when did you find it out?" He asked, looking straight at her.Sunna clenched her fists, her other hand holding onto her belly. It was funny though that she
Deagan held her tightly with a smile and looked around the room. "Where is dad?" He asked.And it was only then that Sunna remembered that there were other people she was supposed to inform that Deagan was awake."Dad! Mom! Everyone! Deagan is awake!" Sunna shouted with excitement, unable to contain her joy. It was a moment she had been waiting for days, and it had finally come.Sunna could not believe it. Deagan was finally awake, and the joy and relief were palpable in the room. She watched as her dad, mom, and everyone else rushed into the room to see for themselves.As everyone gathered around the bed, they could not help but smile and celebrate. Deagan's dad, Alfrond, and his mom, Della, arrived shortly after they received the news, and they too were overjoyed.Sunna felt grateful that she had her family around to share the moment with her. It had been a difficult time, and now, things had gotten well.People from the palace, led by Alfrond and Della arrived shortly after they we
A few more days went by, and Sunna never got tired of taking care of Deagan. She would sit beside him and talk to him at times crying. It felt so bad that he was unconscious and not talking back. But she hoped that one day, he would. Today was no different. She sat beside him and held his hand, reminding him of the things that they had done together. She talked about herself, about her stay abroad and all the new things she had learnt. She never got tired of saying all these to him."You said you were strong! Why are you even sleeping here? You are a coward Deagan!" She said. She was trying everything to wake him up. She thought that maybe, by trying to say all those things, he would wake up."I have something good to tell you, do you not want to wake up?" She asked again, but still there was no response. It was frustrating, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it."Since you cannot wake up, I am going to find myself another man to marry," Sunna said at last in an
"Honey... Deagan," Malden spoke, but he kept throwing glances at Talia, not sure how he was supposed to say that."Dad? Did something happen?" Sunna was getting impatient. She hoped that it was just some kind of trick they were playing on her.Malden sighed and took a step towards her. "I am not sure how to tell you this dear..." He began speaking.However, Sunna assumed him and looked at the room upstairs. Immediately, she ran up the stairs. She was going to check up for him everywhere!However, just as she pushed open the door to his room, she froze in place. Sunna could not believe what she was seeing. Her Deagan, the man she loved more than anything in the world, lay unconscious before her. Tubes and wires were attached to his body, and machines beeped ominously in the background. She felt like her world was crashing down around her.She ran towards him, her heart beating so fast. She even prayed that it was just somebody else lying there, and not him.But all she could see was h
Sunna's heart was racing as she read the message from her dad. Finally, after months of being away from home, she was going to be reunited with her family. Being away from home for four months was too much, and though she had enjoyed her time away, she was now more than ready to return home. She immediately passed the message to Gerry, who was still around to keep her company even though they had finished studying a month ago."Finally!" Gerry said happily. "I know you cannot wait to see him!" Deagan had asked her to keep Sunna company until the day that they had to go back home. And being her friend, she had been more that willing to do that.She had enjoyed her stay abroad, and now, she too was ready to go back home.As they packed their bags, Sunna could not help but wonder what it would be like to be back in her childhood home. Would everything be the same? Or would everything be different? She was filled with joy at the thought of finding out.As she packed, Sunna thought abou
After everyone had left, Deagan proceeded to take a seat as he wiped sweat off his head.Malden looked at him and creased his brows. Of course, he had been observing him from the time he got off the bed."Are you okay?" He asked and walked towards him. And Deagan nodded his head continuously. "Yes, I am okay," he said, trying to put on a smile. "You keep mom company..."He could not just tell them that his body was not okay. The truth was that he was trying to act well from the very beginning. He had already felt the change in his body.But Talia shook her head. "You are not fine," she said. "The blood you gave us was way too much.""I am fine," Deagan said and stood up. He wanted to go to his room and take a rest. He was telling himself that he would feel better once he woke up.However, the next moment, he fell to the ground. Talia rushed to take a look at him. "Deagan?" She called with fear.Malden's heart was heavy with worry as he watched Deagan fall to the ground, losing consci
