CHAPTER 5

We’re now inside of his car for almost an hour already. We’re going to the house of Sir Hades after he told me to come and stay there for a while. After I refuse his offer for God knows how many time, I finally decided to stay at his home.

Why? All the apartments that we went to rejected us after they see Hades. I know that he's handsome but they shouldn't make it public, right? Also, if we weren't just in the modern era, I would believe that he can hypnotize people. Yes, his beauty is mesmerizing!

"Ate! Ate Devyn. It's really nice here." astonished Mak-mak said while carefully watching how Sir would drive. I smiled and looked at him as he stretched his neck between Sir and me.

"I-I'm sorry." I widened my eyes at Mak-mak and told him to sit properly at the backset. Mak-mak immediately sat down again with a crazy smile.

My eyes widened even more when I saw that he was pointing Sir with his lips and then he made a heart with his hand. It was as if the blood had escaped me and all went up in my face. I feel the warmth and the redness of my cheek.

"Hihi." He giggled when he saw my shocked face. I turned to Sir who was now looking at me. I immediately averted

my eyes and adjusted my seat.

"What do you want for lunch?" Breaking it into silence. That's why I thought about how and what I would answer him. Fortunately, he ignored Mak-mak.

"Anything." He let us stay at his home already and we will we still demand something to eat? Who are we, his VIP guests? I could see in my peripheral view his nods. A few more minutes passed and I could already see the trees. Where is his house? In the province?

I guess his place is too remote? You can't see anything but trees. They are high as hell because the sun's rays were obscured.

It turns out that both sides of this highway are forests. It also didn't have any cars and no pedestrians. Astonishment rose in my mind. Is this a private road?

Soon, we saw a large black gate. If you don't ask, it's at the end of the highway. I was amazed to see the engraved word at the top of it. His last name seems familiar. I seem to have heard that somewhere.

"Fuentevilla ..." I almost whispered. I am sure that I heard it somewhere but I can’t remember where and when.

"Yes?" I jumped in my seat when I heard his voice. Wait? How did he heard me by just me whispering? You read it, didn't you? Whispered!

"H-Ha? I think I heard your surname somewhere but I can't remember where." I saw the rising edge of his lips. That eventually became a huge and naughty smile.

"You'll remember it soon." He said while smirking. Soon? Why doesn't he just say it now? He’s just thrilling me and making me curious of the truth.

It opened spontaneously creating a shrill noise. With the size of this gate, I just don't know if it will still open quietly.

My amazement doesn't end here, folks! Entrance inside has a large garden on the side. It is filled with black roses. The opposite of it is a well that is already moldy.

"Why are black roses planted there?" I turned to him who was just looking straight at the road. He gave me a shrug in response. Such an ill-tempered man. I stared into the air and looked around again. On the other side of the road were tall pine trees.

You would think that side was a forest because it was quite dark under the trees. But for me, it feels good to relax in the shade of the pine trees there. I also see a few workers watering the plants around. Others pick fruits from trees.

"Do you produce fruits?" I asked him because the company that I joined was taking care of media business in the whole country. They produce newspapers and broadcast news in televisions even in radios.

"Yes. HF Company." His short response makes me nodded. Why am I even curious? I already know that his family is really influential and most of the companies in the country are under his surname.

The road that Hades' vehicle is traveling on is still straight. Not long after, a baroque style mansion opened up to me. It is colored dirty white and gold. The car stopped right in front of it.

"I-Is this yours?" I turned to him as I pointed to the mansion in front of us now. I am bewildered on how enormous his home is.

"Yes. Why? You don't like it? I can change the des-" I didn't let him finish but I can’t say any words because of astonishment. I stared at it from the smallest to the largest details. How can he be so rich that he can afford a mansion like this?

"This is so .. amazing." From the golden linings in every corner to the poles with white color is very perfect. Even if its whiteness is neglected, the beauty of the color cannot be denied.

"I'm glad that you like it." I gasped when I felt his hot breath on my nape. He seems to like that position and he absolutely like teasing me. So I turned to him and waved.

"What are you doing behind my back?" I asked him a question that he just replied with a faint laugh.

I just shook my head and opened the backseat door. Mak-mak was already asleep. That's why it's quiet, maybe if he saw what I saw before. I am sure that his eyes would spit out.

"Let me." He pushed me to the side but I grabbed his hand and restrained him. I felt electricity flow into my hand. Is this the spark that they’ve been saying? Is he Mr. Right?

"Are you Mr.Right? Are you the love of my life? Are you the icing on my cupcake?" I sang while looking into his eyes, I saw the shock on his face.

"Are you even serious right now?" I laughed when I saw how stunned he was. I was just joking but I saw a glimpse of spark in his eyes.

"I’m just kidding. I'm leaving. I n-" I interrupted when Mak-mak stood up while still rubbing his left eye.

"I can do it myself. Your story will end right away because of me I shouldn’t do that. It will become my fault."
