**Chapter 345: Luis\u2019s First Love**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
Luis enveloped me in his embrace from behind, his chin resting comfortably on my shoulder. \u201cFrom now on, this place is open to you whenever you wish,\u201d he declared, his voice warm and inviting.<\/p>\n
I let out a small scoff, trying to maintain an air of indifference. \u201cI\u2019m not that bored. I\u2019m not here to check up on you,\u201d I retorted, attempting to sound nonchalant.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d Luis teased, pinching my cheek playfully. \u201cYou know, most people wouldn\u2019t even have the chance to step foot in here if they wanted to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen go find someone else,\u201d I shot back, feigning disinterest.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot a chance,\u201d he replied firmly, a hint of mischief in his eyes. \u201cMy heart is already full. There\u2019s simply no room left for anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words ignited a warmth within me, and I couldn\u2019t help but smile as it tugged at my lips. I leaned back against his sturdy chest, feeling the reassuring strength of him behind me. Turning my head slightly, I caught a glimpse of his profile\u2014the sharp lines of his nose and the defined angle of his jaw were captivating. Every time I gazed at his face, my heart raced, fluttering like a bird trapped in a cage.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, memories flooded back of the last time I had entered this space. It had been a pivotal moment, one filled with tension and anticipation\u2014the day I transferred the remaining four billion to the Misthane Group. It was also the day Luis had laid bare his feelings, expressing his desire for me to be his girlfriend. That moment had marked the beginning of our story, a tale woven with promises and uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on that significant day, I reached out and gently tapped his arm with my finger, curiosity bubbling inside me. \u201cSo, tell me, when you asked me to be your girlfriend that day, was it all part of some grand plan?\u201d I inquired, my voice laced with intrigue.<\/p>\n
Luis lowered his head, his lips brushing against my earlobe as he spoke in a low, sultry tone, \u201cGuess you\u2019re not as clueless as you look.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart skipped a beat, and my eyelashes fluttered in surprise. After a brief pause, I found the courage to ask softly, \u201cLuis, do you really like me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Was it genuine affection, or merely a consequence of fate? Did he feel something for me because I happened to be carrying his child? Or was it simply because I was decent-looking?<\/p>\n
\u201cNot even going to take a look at the photo before you leave?\u201d he asked, his curiosity piqued.<\/p>\n
I squeezed my eyes shut, frustration boiling over as I snapped, \u201cI don\u2019t want to! Everyone has a past. I don\u2019t want to mess with yours!\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis chuckled, a deep, resonant sound that vibrated through his chest. \u201cDeanna, what kind of nonsense are you imagining, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not nonsense!\u201d I shot back defensively.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why won\u2019t you look? Are you scared you\u2019ll see some other girl?\u201d he countered, hitting the nail on the head. The truth stung, igniting a mix of anger and embarrassment within me. I tried to turn away, but he caught my hand, holding me in place.<\/p>\n
In an instant, Luis pulled me close by the waist, lifting me back into his arms with ease. With his free hand, he retrieved the photo, holding it right in front of my face. \u201cDo I really have to introduce you to yourself?\u201d he asked slowly, his tone teasing yet serious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2427","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2427","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=2427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
