**Chapter 258: Surprise**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
As soon as my feet left the ground, an intense warmth flooded my cheeks, and I could feel my heart racing. I darted my gaze around the bustling scene, mortified to discover just how many eyes were glued to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis, what on earth are you doing? You need to put me down. Everyone is watching us!\u201d I protested, my voice tinged with embarrassment.<\/p>\n
He merely chuckled, his confidence radiating as he responded with a playful grin. \u201cAnd what if they\u2019re watching? I\u2019m just carrying the mother of my child\u2014totally legal, you know.\u201d Not only did he disregard my humiliation, but he also gave me a little bounce, as if to emphasize his point.<\/p>\n
Before I could unleash my frustration, he leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. \u201cTrust me, I\u2019m taking you somewhere special.\u201d<\/p>\n
I pressed my palm against his broad chest, attempting to squirm free from his grasp. \u201cI can walk just fine on my own, Luis. Please, just put me down!\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet, he acted as if he hadn\u2019t heard a word, striding confidently toward the sleek Lamborghini parked at the entrance, his tone casual as he continued to speak.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I let you down, I know you\u2019ll bolt. And let\u2019s be honest\u2014you absolutely would.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a resigned sigh, I shut my eyes, feeling utterly defeated.<\/p>\n
What was it about this man? Was he some sort of psychic twin soul, or was he just a clever parasite living rent-free in my mind? How did he anticipate each and every one of my reactions?<\/p>\n
Finally, he set me gently into the plush passenger seat, then made his way around to the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
As soon as the door clicked shut, he reached over and playfully ruffled my hair. \u201cNow, be good. I\u2019ve got a surprise for you tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned my head away, stubbornly refusing to meet his gaze.<\/p>\n
This Alpha was utterly insufferable.<\/p>\n
With a press of the accelerator, the yellow Lamborghini roared to life, surging forward as city lights blurred into streaks outside the windows.<\/p>\n
After what felt like an eternity, we approached a magnificent 66-story hotel that towered above us\u2014a breathtaking six-star luxury establishment, its fa\u00e7ade emblazoned with a giant silver \u201cD\u201d that glimmered like a beacon in the night.<\/p>\n
The car finally came to a halt by a stunning fountain, and I found myself staring at the building in sheer disbelief.<\/p>\n
The exterior of the D Hotel was nothing short of astonishing; its opulence took my breath away. Every detail was crafted with such precision that it showcased an unparalleled sense of design, making it look like a dazzling jewel nestled in the heart of the continent.<\/p>\n
I had heard whispers about this place.<\/p>\n
This was the first six-star hotel in Nordvale, a marvel that housed everything from sky gardens and ocean-view restaurants to luxurious pools and expansive conference halls.<\/p>\n
Built just three years prior, the D Hotel had quickly become a landmark of Nordvale, igniting a flurry of excitement and speculation throughout the werewolf community.<\/p>\n
Rumors swirled about its enigmatic owner\u2014some claimed he was an ultra-rich foreign tycoon, while others suggested the \u201cD\u201d stood for a spaceship or something equally absurd.<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, I hope you\u2019ll always stay beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss, I wish you happiness forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
By the time I stepped into the hotel lobby, my hands were overflowing with flowers, each one a symbol of the unexpected joy that surrounded me.<\/p>\n
The moment I crossed the threshold, I was struck speechless by the sight that greeted me.<\/p>\n
Two neat rows of hotel staff stood at attention on either side, bowing slightly as they spoke in unison, \u201cWishing Ms. Wiley everlasting happiness and health!\u201d<\/p>\n
I was so taken aback that I could hardly move, frozen in place as the reality of the moment washed over me.<\/p>\n
Luis stepped forward, taking my hand gently and guiding me through the crowd toward a private elevator that whisked us up to the top-floor suite.<\/p>\n
As we entered the suite, my breath caught in my throat. The floor was a breathtaking tapestry of blooming roses, gardenias, and balloon flowers, a riot of colors that created a stunning sea of floral beauty.<\/p>\n
I stood at the doorway, utterly astonished, my mind racing with questions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2026 what is tonight supposed to mean?\u201d I stammered, my heart fluttering with anticipation.<\/p>\n
Luis stepped closer, an unmistakable hint of pride in his voice, as if he were waiting for my admiration. \u201cSo? Do you like it?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2340","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2340","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=2340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
