The first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains as Javier stirred awake. Something soft and warm was nestled against him, and a sleepy grin spread across his face.
"Must be Liana," he thought, leaning in to press a deep kiss onto the lips of whoever was beside him.
"I love you…" he murmured softly, his voice laced with affection.
To his surprise, the person beneath him responded, their lips moving in sync with his, and their voice, though shy, whispered back, "I love you too, Javier-sama."
Javier's eyes snapped open, his heart skipping a beat. That wasn't Liana's voice.
"Err… this is not Liana's voice… who is it?" His thoughts raced as he pulled back slightly, blinking in confusion.
His gaze met the wide, sparkling eyes of none other than Gracelle.
"Gracelle?!" Javier's mind screamed. His jaw nearly dropped, but he managed to keep his composure. "Ugh, this must be Liana's plan! Damn her!"
