When Malden got back home, it was a little late. And he creased his brows when he was told that Sunna had locked herself up in her room the whole day.He walked there the first thing, trying to knock on her door. But she did not unlock the door for him.Left with no other option, he went look for the spare keys to the room.And he froze when he opened the door. The girl was in the bed, completely covered in the blankets."Sunna?" He called and rushed towards her on the bed,trying to uncover her.And there she was, all covered in sweat. "Dad..." She called in a whisper.Sunna tried to turn and look at her dad, but she was helpless, without any energy in her body.Her throat was all dry and sure, and she felt like her whole body was burning up."What happened?" Malden asked in fear as he completely uncovered her. She was all wet, her fever had risen so high.He felt like admonishing her, but he just could not do it when she was looking like that.Immediately, he called the doctor as he
"Brother?" Sunna called in disbelief when he hanged up. And she looked at the phone like it was the thing with the problem.She tried calling him back, but he had switched off his phone."I will talk to him, okay?" Malden, who was so dumbfounded by what he witnessed. But he knew he had to comfort the girl first.Why were things like that? What actually happened that Deagan did not want to talk to her?"Mmh," Sunna nodded and handed him back his phone before standing up to walk away.But Malden did not miss the drop of tears that fell from her eyes. She was crying.He held her hand and pulled her back into his eyes embrace. "You do not have to cry. Maybe he is just busy," he said.He was also trying to force himself believe that it was the case.Sunna had told him continuously that they had not had any fights. Then what could be the reason why he behaved like that?Sunna who could not even bring herself to talk nodded her head again, blinking her eyes so that she did not shed more tear
He smiled again and took out his phone. That son of his had become an idiot. No wonder he was in such a hurry to leave.When he got to his room, he called him. And it took almost forever before the man picked up."What is up with you, you fool?" Malden asked teasingly. Did he think that it was Sunna calling him again?"Ummm... Dad, how are you?" Deagan asked shamelessly. He had actually thought that it was Sunna calling again."Are you sure you want to know how I am, with her crying now?" Malden asked, getting a little angry.Deagan sighed when he heard that. "I guess you are busy now dad," he said. "Can we talk later then?"Malden's lips twitched at the statement. And he wished he was able to hit him with the phone at that moment."Don't you dare hang up on me," he warned. "What happened?" He asked.Deagan was silent for some seconds. He knew that this was on the way coming. "What do you mean dad? Everything is good on my end now."Malden felt like disowning Deagan. Why was he still
..."Are you ready dear?" Malden called on Sunna very early in the morning."Almost done dad," Sunna replied as she put on her clothes.Her heart was beating so loud. She had not known that this would ever happen for the last three months that she had been away from Deagan.It was finally the day that she was going to meet him. But her heart was in a dilemma.She had different scenarios in her head. And she knew that there was a possibility that he might not want to see her.But she pushed the thought to the back of her head. No matter the case, she was going to make him give in to her.When she left her room, she did not carry anything at all. That was part of her plan."Do you remember what I told you?" Malden asked as he drove her to the airport."Yeah," Sunna nodded. They had made their plan as a dad and a daughter. And he had advised her not to tell Deagan that Malden knew she had gone to look for him.And he was also the master mind behind her not carrying any laugage. "Tell hi
...Earlier, Sunna had landed in country J safely. And she found a car organized by her dad waiting for her.One hour later, she was stopped in front of the company. It was as round six in the evening.She looked around tensely. Her dad had called and told her that Deagan would still be in the office at six.So she was sure that he was still there. But she did not want to go in and cause problems in his work. She wanted to wait until he came out himself."Are you going to be okay?" The driver asked her. He was not very sure if he was supposed to drive away or wait until she met Deagan.But she nodded. "Yeap," she said. "You better leave. If he finds you here, you will be in trouble."If Deagan knew of the man that had dropped her there, he would even want to break his neck.After hesitating for a while, the driver left. But that was just according to Sunna.What she did not know was that the man had accompanied her the whole journey.How could Malden let her travel all by herself at s
And once she hugged him, once she felt his warm embrace again, she could not hold back her tears.The tears and pain she had been swallowing all days he was away came out.And she struggled a lot not to make a sound. She just wanted to remain in his embrace like that.Deagan was still confused when he felt some wetness on his chest. And he also noticed her shoulders shaking.He froze. He had been so much confused to realize that she was crying.He tried lifting her head from his chest. But she held him tightly and refused to look at him.Deagan sighed and looked at his secretary and driver who seemed confused. "A second please," he said and pulled Sunna with him some distance away.The people around looked at each other in confusion. Were they dreaming too?It had been rumoured in the whole company that there was a probability of their boss being gay.That was because no one had ever seen him with a woman since he came three months ago.All his business associates would be seen changi
Those words rang continuously in Sunna's head. Yes, she was so stupid to turn Deagan down. And now, he had changed completely. He did not want her anymore.She cried more, her heart hurting. She knew he would be mad at her. But she had not expected that he would be that blunt and cold.She had never thought that he would tell her face to face that she did not stand a chance of being close to him.And worst, he did not even look at her face as she cried. Had it been in the past, he would have pulled her into his embrace and wiped away her tears.He was not doing any of that today. And it hurt her so much. She felt so insecure!Was it the woman that he had married that made him change like this? Did he love that woman more than he loved her?Even though she was not sure who that woman was, she hated her so much already.And she swore to be her enemy forever. How could she just snatch Deagan from get like that?"Hello," there came a voice beside her. And she only came back to her senses
So, nobody was allowed to complain if he had not complained. He looked at them with hatred as a certain thought came to his mind.He wanted to show them that Sunna was not to be discussed like that!And while everyone was watching, he took off his coat and put it over her shoulders.He just wanted to pass a silent warning to them. No matter how mad he was at Sunna, nobody else was allowed to judge her.And the jaws of those gossipers dropped when he did that!Yes... Another shock!They were shocked again when he did that. How could he still cover her with his coat when she had just broken his phone, when she had just hit him?Was there boss okay? Or had that little girl bewitched him? They had never seen him behave like that!And..Who was she? His sister? Or his girlfriend? How did they know each other?Why did it look like their boss had a soft spot for her. It was like he dared not to do anything that hurt her, no matter what she did!With the way he looked at her, even though he lo
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
