Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
\u201cDesign concept?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shook my head.<\/p>\n
Zelena\u2019s eyes lit up.<\/p>\n
your promise!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt stands for loyalty, devotion, and faithfulness. It\u2019s like giving someone<\/p>\n
My mind went blank for a second.<\/p>\n
Then I quickly pushed that thought away.<\/p>\n
Luis couldn\u2019t possibly know what this bracelet meant. Yesterday, he was ready to throw it away when I didn\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n
He must\u2019ve bought it by chance.<\/p>\n
After dinner with Zelena, I went home with mixed feelings.<\/p>\n
When I opened the door, I froze. Luis was lying lazily on the couch. He wore a gray shirt and black pants. One arm was behind his head; the other rested on his forehead. His long legs crossed casually at the edge of the couch.<\/p>\n
He heard the door open and slowly lifted his eyes to look at me.<\/p>\n
I stood petrified, caught off guard, our eyes meeting.<\/p>\n
The room fell silent. The air felt frozen between us. None of us said anything.<\/p>\n
The bedroom lights were off; only a faint silver glow from the moon spilled in from the balcony.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t see his face clearly, but his burning gaze pinned me in place. My feet refused to<\/p>\n
move.<\/p>\n
After a long time, Luis sat up lazily, leaning against the couch.<\/p>\n
I snapped back to the present and quickly flipped on the light with a sharp click.<\/p>\n
Luis raised an eyebrow. \u201cPiggy, you\u2019ve gotten bold. Ignoring my calls and vanishing without a word?\u201d<\/p>\n

I bent down to change my shoes, avoiding his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never said I\u2019d move back there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I was imagining things?\u201d His voice dropped lower, a bit rougher. I could feel his eyes on my waist\u2013hot, intense, almost searing through my clothes.<\/p>\n
I tried to sound calm. \u201cI just don\u2019t feel comfortable living in a strange house.\u201d<\/p>\n
The place I bought wasn\u2019t big, but with him there\u2013tall, confident, radiating power\u2013the space suddenly felt smaller.<\/p>\n
After changing my shoes, I tried to slip past him and escape to my room. But as I walked by, his hand suddenly reached out and caught my fingers.<\/p>\n
His fingertips were burning hot, carrying that unique warmth only an Alpha had. The moment his skin touched mine, a spark shot through my veins like an electric current.<\/p>\n
I instinctively tried to pull away, but he held tighter. Then, with a gentle tug, I fell right into his<\/p>\n
arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis!\u201d I snapped, frustrated.<\/p>\n
He sat there casually, legs spread wide, while I stood right between them.<\/p>\n
Luis tilted his head up, his deep eyes locked on mine. \u201cDeanna, you\u2019re upset.\u201d<\/p>\n
I blinked and rebuked stubbornly. \u201cAnd what makes you think that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis rose slowly to his feet, his tall frame radiating a quiet pressure that made the air heavy.<\/p>\n
He tapped his chest, right over his heart. \u201cRight here. I can see it clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow tell me,\u201d he said with that lazy confidence, \u201cwho made my Piggy upset? I\u2019ll deal with him for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked down, avoiding his burning gaze, refusing to answer.<\/p>\n
Luis reached out and pinched my cheek.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis!\u201d I slapped his hand away. \u201cStop touching me all the time!\u201d<\/p>\n
He smirked. \u201cOh, yeah? Yesterday it was fine. Today it\u2019s not? Ms. Wiley, you\u2019re quite the unpredictable woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

I pouted. \u201cWhatever. Just don\u2019t touch me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, fine. I won\u2019t touch you,\u201d he said with a teasing glint in his eyes. \u201cI\u2019ll be generous. How about you touch me instead?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he leaned down and pressed my hand against his face.<\/p>\n
For a second, my breath hitched. But then, a thought flashed through my mind\u2014had this same hand touched his childhood sweetheart, too?<\/p>\n
That possibility felt like a bucket of ice water dumped over me.<\/p>\n
I tried to pull my hand away, but he held it tight. I couldn\u2019t break free.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet go of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anger bubbled up inside me.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou call me unpredictable, but you\u2019re the bossiest man I\u2019ve ever met!\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis lifted his eyes lazily. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll stop being bossy. Now tell me. What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing,\u201d I muttered. \u201cIt\u2019s none of your business.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley,\u201d he said with a sigh, \u201cHow am I supposed to cheer you up if you won\u2019t even tell me what\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned my head slightly and just looked at him quietly.<\/p>\n
He was so close that I could see the curve of his lashes, the faint warmth in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy \u2026 \u201d I whispered, \u201cWhy do you even want to cheer me up?\u201d<\/p>\n
He smiled faintly. \u201cBecause if I don\u2019t, my little Piggy will hold a grudge. You\u2019ll ignore my calls, vanish for a few days, and protest in various adorable ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
His tone was playful and light, yet I couldn\u2019t tell if he was being serious or just sweet\u2013talking me again.<\/p>\n
Every time I was with him, I always ended up losing the argument.<\/p>\n
When Luis got mad, he could drive anyone crazy.<\/p>\n

But when he turned soft and tender, I had no defense at all. I couldn\u2019t help but fall for him every single time.<\/p>\n
My chest was heavy with jealousy, tight and uncomfortable. It didn\u2019t hurt sharply, but it made me feel uneasy.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the feeling made me want to cry; other times, it just left me sad and frustrated.<\/p>\n
After a long silence, I lifted my head and looked him straight in the eyes. \u201cCan you stop coming to see me after you flirt with someone else?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2221","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
