It's the first time that Stacey came out of her room when she heard that her best friend was there. All night, she cried and then drew her feelings toward him. She just made a story. A scenario. It'll be a short one and she doesn't plan to publish it since it's a private one. She didn't get to sleep or eat at all although Maverick knocked in front of her room many times with a tray of food. She didn't even eat or drink.

"Why do you look pale?" Victoria asked.

"Oh~~work…" She said.

Victoria exhaled but even though she's thinking about her husband, she still noticed her best friend. She's that caring toward Stacey. Maverick came with a tray of drinks and snacks. Stacey didn't even touch it but Maverick took a glass of water and extended it to her.

"Something is going on right now," Caleb said. "Why did he leave?"

"It's an emergency when Loren called. He said about an allergic reaction." Victoria reached her lemonade and sipped on it. Stacey took the glass and sipped on it. It tasted good so she finished it and put it away.

"Stace, you need to eat," Maverick told her.

Stacey nodded but she didn't touch any food. Victoria sighed.

"I just need a break," Victoria mumbled.

"I am sure that he had reasons," Maverick told her to calm her down. "V, you trust him, right?"

"Yes, I do. He's my husband."

"Then, you have to let him protect you," Maverick said confidently.

Victoria found out that Maverick knew something from his words. If Maverick knows about Secretary Loren and why he suddenly left, then she needed the information from him.

"What do you know?"

"I won't tell a thing, Victoria. Ask your husband."

"Okay, I'm gonna go and pee," Stacey said as she left. Victoria glanced at Caleb but he shrugged at her. Then, they watched as Maverick left too, following Stacey.

"So, what's up with those two?" Victoria asked Caleb.

"When I came here, Stacey didn't come to eat even though Maverick did deliver food to her room."

"Something happened to them last night!" Victoria concluded.

"What?" Caleb blinked. "You think so?"

"You see, it's very easy to see the spark between them. But one is resisting." Victoria shrugged. "It's probably Maverick."

"Hmm, didn't he see how beautiful and sexy my cousin is? That man is stupid." Caleb crossed his arms. "Unless he's avoiding her with a reason."

"The reason should be acceptable. Or else, I'll cut his thing." She mumbled.

"Hey! Don't be like that." Caleb shuddered.



Maverick reached Stacey's arm and pulled her, so she could face him. She looked away because she'll just get attracted and get hurt again.

"I don't want you to do this to yourself," Maverick said softly. "Do you want me to leave?" He asked as he scooped her face. She looked at his lonely eyes.

"No." She shook her head.

"But you knew well that I won't stay here for long."

"No." She held his hand over her cheeks. "Don't leave…" She may sound desperate but there's no way that she would let him go. "I don't care even if you don't have a job. Just stay here."

Maverick pulled her into a big hug and held the back of her head. He had fallen in love with her in a very short time but he can't be with her. He wanted to kiss her and make love to her but he just couldn't. Once he goes back to his life, he had to stay away from her to protect her.

She looked up at him, broken.

"You have to eat. Don't skip any meal. Okay?"

She nodded at him submissively. Maverick hates it when she's starving herself. He patted her head and stared at her dry lips. He badly wanted to kiss it and lick it but he stopped himself. She stared at his lips too and she tiptoed to reach it.

"Let's have sex, please." She pleaded. She sounded desperate and crazy. Because of that passionate kiss at the beach house. Stacey didn't know about herself anymore. She never felt anything passionate as Maverick's kiss.

"I can't…" he shook his head. "I can only give you friendship."

"Then, friends with benefits?" She suggested. "I want your lips to mine and your body pressed like this. Or tighter…"

Maverick's arm from her back tightened as his body became hard.

"Mave, I like you so much and I want you badly. I never had these feelings before. Even my exes never give me the same feeling." She shoved his face to his massive chest and inhaled his scent. "I don't want you to leave, ever."

Maverick thought about it too. If he won't ever leave, then, he'll stay with her, still hiding. But he'll be very, very happy since it's her. He had lots of sex dreams with her and he ends up touching himself. He loved her already with those good days and movie nights together. But he didn't want her to be in danger because of him.

"I can feel your body, Mave. Please, let's do it. I'll be very good to you."

"Stace," He said softly. "You don't have to." He kissed her forehead.

"But I really want to do it with you."

Maverick lifted her from the floor and took her to her room. Her words just triggered him and his mind was saying that fucked it! He wanted her right away and he didn't want to let her go. Fucked the throne! He didn't want to take it over now…

"Mave…" She called breathlessly. She pulled up his shirt but he stopped her.

Maverick realized that even though he'll hide, they would still find out about him. He exhaled and kissed her forehead. Maybe other ways… he'll give her other things than taking her virginity.

"Can we do this after they left?" Maverick asked softly. Stacey pouted.

"Don't delay it again." She said frustratingly. Maverick chuckled.

"I can't take your virginity. Stace," He gently pointed her nose. "But I can give you other pleasures."

"Hmm," She thought for a while. "But I really want all of you." Her hand crawled down to his abdomen to his crotch. "See, you are hard." She pouted.

He adjusted comfortably and moved away from her.

"Look how hard you are!" She pointed to it.

"Eat first."

"I can eat you." She grinned at him.

Maverick just met someone opposite of him and opposite do attracts.



For Kenzo to be able to visit his grandfather, he quickly decided by dressing up as a male nurse that even Secretary Bryan provided. He put a mask on as he went to the VIP suite. There are two guards outside the door and Secretary Loren greets him. He acted like he's checking the things that he's going in with him and they let him in. Inside, there's no bodyguard since Secretary Loren dismissed them.

Kenzo immediately removed his face mask and approached the King's bed. He sat beside his grandfather. Seeing the blemishes on his skin makes his heart ached. The old man opened his eyes as he removed the oxygen mask.

"Kenzo." He called in a hoarse voice.

"I'm here, Grandpa." He bent down and kissed his forehead.

"Your wife? Whe~~where's your wife?" He asked.

"I left her at her friend's house. She's safe there."

"I'm sorry that you can't bring your wife here. They set up a trap to find you. They knew that you would meet me. I can't risk you again, my Prince."

"Don't worry, grandpa. I'll be fine and I'll protect my wife."

"Yes, you should. Once that they know about your wife, they will also use her against us." He coughed and closed his eyes slowly. "Go to your wife now. I'll be fine here with Secretary Loren."

"Grandpa, let me stay with you a little bit."

The old man clenched his hand so he could feel his grandson's hand.

"This might be all over the news. But, you have to stay safe."

"Yes, grandpa. I promise."

Kenzo didn't have any family left in this world but his grandfather. He might be the man who sent him away that caused him to suffer, but he truly understood him. Because all he did was to protect him. He managed to survive until this moment. Now, he has his wife too. His lovable wife that he's going to do everything for her.

"Take the money, move somewhere safer." The old man said.

"Grandpa, I can't take the money yet. They might trace it. Who knows which hackers they are working with."

"You are right, then I'll only give you a few more days to stay with your wife in that unsecured house. Then, you have to take her and make her resign from her work to protect her."

"Yes, grandpa. And, it'll be hard for her to resign."

"She's not also safe in her work, right? I heard that she's been harassed." The old man coughs again. "Kenzo, do everything to protect her. Also, hurry up on making babies."

Kenzo chuckled. His grandfather had very odd humor.

"Grandpa, we are working on it," Kenzo said with a sigh.

"I want to meet her soon."

"You will meet her soon enough. But you have to get well first. You need to look handsome, okay? Not so red like this."

The old man laughed mixed with coughs as he smiled at his grandson.
