Chapter 5 four

Carol rushed home from the forest without looking back and in her haste, she left Moonlight tied to a tree. Maybe she will just send their staff there to get it. She feels guilty but she doesn't want to go back there because of what happened earlier between her and Astaroth.

"Oh my sweet child, what happened to you? Where did you go? And why are you out of breath?" Her mother asks with forehead crease. Her mother is sitting in their long leather sofa, in the leaving room.

"It's nothing mom, I just jogged a little bit to digest quickly," she blurted out.

Her mother raised her eyebrows causing her to be even more nervous. If her mother asked any more questions, she would probably know the truth and she doesn't want that to happened. So, she kisses her mother's cheeks and she hurried to her room right away. She needs to relax because she would be returning to her condo unit the very next day. If before, she used to look forward on to going to the stream, now she doesn't.

Why did she let that happen? Is she really that tempted? If only her mother knew this, she would have pinched her in the groin for sure.

"You're such a dumbass Carol," she said to herself and closes her eyes tightly but she immediately opened her eyes when she to saw Astaroth's green eyes, burning with desire and heat.

Carol quickly got up from her bed and slaps herself. She is also the one who's suffering from her foolishness. If only she had stayed inside the house, that thing would not have happened and her plan to get the land here would have been even more impossible.

"Stupid!" she said to herself while repeatedly pulling her hair.

She was hurting, yes. But that pain was nothing because of the shame she had done just now, and I hope that whoever took Moonlight to the forest won't see Astaroth and it's more better if he already drowned.

Carol casually threw herself on the bed and tightly hugged her pillow. She'll sleep to calm her nerves and self, it's a good thing that her mother didn't asks anymore. And maybe when she wakes up it will be just her dream-if it really was a dream.

She closed her eyes tightly until the darkness engulfed her, and on the other side Astaroth is clenching his jaw while staring at the black horse in front of her.

Looks like the horse in front of him was owned by the woman he just make-out with, and since it doesn't seem like she will ever come back, he decided to ride it to his house which is too far away from here, and besides, it's not his fault anyway.

After two hours, Astaroth finally reached his mansion. He was immediately greeted by his butler who's grumpy with thick crumpled face.

"What's with that face?" Astaroth asked.

The butler's face got even worse and said, "This is the face of a stressed butler, your highness."

Astaroth face crumpled because of what his butler addressed him. He really doesn't like to be called 'your highness', that's one of the reason why he left Greece. He didn't want to be the heir of the crown and yet, his butler kept reminding him.

"Stop calling me 'your highness', Jacob. You're getting on my nerves," Astaroth said firmly.

Jacob, the butler rolled his hazel eyes and said, "Whatever, Prince Astaroth Rios Frued ll."

Astaroth clenches his fist and was about to attack Jacob when he suddenly runs away, which is why he just shook his head.

Jacob and Astaroth are friends since childhood and since they were kids, they have always been together, that's why when he does something wrong, Jacob also feels the anger of his father--the King.

Jacob's duty is to protect him, but he is no longer young for Jacob to defend him. And another thing is that, he can take care of himself and that's why he came here in the Philippines. To his surprise, Jacob follows him to escape from Greece because he says that he also wants a peaceful life like him.

Being a royalty is a pain in the ass. Royalty needs to be proper and formal which he couldn't do, and no matter how many times he refused the crown his father still didn't give up that's why when someone planted a bomb in the palace he used that opportunity to run away.

Well, being a prince is good, but being an Astaroth here in the Philippines is still the best. Where he is one of the most feared business men, and in addition to that everything he wants, he gets with just one flick-except for one.

Only one thing is missing for him to have a peaceful and happy life. Fame, Wealth, Woman and Power-all of that is on his name, but that one thing that he needs is difficult for him to get but well, he will not give up until it turns to be his.

"Your royal highness, what's with that horse? You brought it? It's massive and good huh?" Jacob said while peeking in the other hallway.

"Stop calling me that name Jacob and that horse isn't mine. The owner forgot about it so I bring it here," he said as he got off the horse.

He gently patted the horse head, and lend it to one of his trusted men. With every steps he took, Jacob retreated so much that he just shook his head. Jacob is really afraid of him even though he won't do anything bad.

"Why are you retreating?" he asked Jacob with raised eyebrows.

"Because you're going to skin me alive, your highness," Jacob answered quickly.

Astaroth just shook his head at Jacob's reaction and just passed it. He didn't have time to joke anymore, especially when someone caught his interest-the girl in the stream.

That girl in the stream was the first woman who caught his attention. Especially its blue and bright eyes, nose and lips. Her lips that is so soft and he can't wait to taste it again.

He didn't expect that she would be so wild but even so, he believe that he did the right thing and he had no regrets. That woman's breasts are both firm, soft and fluffy. He wanted to touch and fold it again and so as he wanted to taste it's hard nipples. He can still feel Carol's hard nipples on his tongue that damn, that nipples taste so good.

Astaroth quickly entered his room and immediately headed to his bathroom. He opened the shower and got under it. His body was getting hot because of the images of Carol playing in his mind.

He didn't even bother to take off his clothes because the important thing now is to relieve his heat and he's wondering when will he meet the woman named Carol again?

A wicked smile formed on his lips when he remembered what Carol said-she is Maxon's cousin. A the only thing he will do now is to go to Maxon to get information, even though it is not really necessary because he has many connections-this is what they call making plus points.

After his cold shower, Astaroth immediately got dressed and when he came out of his room, Jacob's serious face surprised him, which is why he became serious too.

"What?" Astaroth asked seriously while continuing to walk.

"The King-your father sent a message, your highness," Jacob said, while following him behind.

Astaroth's body stiffened slightly because of what Jacob said. This was the first time his father had sent a message. He just let him do what he wants, that's why he became a famous business man because he didn't stop him, so he was very worried about his message.

"What did my father-the King say?" he said while pouring wine into the glass

"The King said that you need to get married ASAP, because he is yearning for a grandchild and he's not getting younger anymore and so as the Queen," Jacob said followed by loud laughter.

Astaroth's face crumpled because of what his father said. He thought that the content of the message is serious, but guess what? It's not. It turns out that his parent's is so eager to have a grandkid.

"Tell him to back off, I'm not ready for that," he said and took a sip of the wine from the glass.

"The King already expects that, that's going to be your answer. That's why he has a postscript and it says, 'Don't make the Queen angry Astaroth, you know the drill'," said Jacob and imitated his father's deep voice.

Astaroth just washed his face with his palm. He fears his mother more than his father, and more than anything else in the world. His mother once hung him upside down when he did something unpleasant and that's the worst thing that happened in his entire life. Jacob already experienced his mother's wrath that's why he got a phobia to women.

"This is nightmare," Astaroth whispered and pray.

"Indeed your highness, it's your worst nightmare,"
