Billionaire's Hidden Princess by Alegna Ciee (most popular novels txt) 📖

This time, he wanted to be the one to do it to her.   

“Eya.”

Then, they froze.

Without them noticing it, the door was already wide opened. Even worse than that was that the person who just arrived was the least that both of them were expecting.

Livius is now standing by the doorway, a frightening, hooded expression splattered across his face. His brows are scrunched tightly together while his mouth is curved down into a deep scowl, looking like he’s about to commit an atrocity.

“Livi…!” Leticia bolted out in surprise, standing upright again.

“H-How…? How did you know I was here-“

“We’re leaving.”

That’s when Livius suddenly paces closer to her and snatches her hand away, taking both of them aback. Leticia then ends up getting pulled to the door amid her confusion.  

At the sight of her getting dragged away, Gabriel finally snaps out of his nonplus and seizes a hold on her other wrist. This causes the couple to halt on their tracks, turning around to face him again with flummox written over their expressions.

“G-Gabriel…?” she stammered out, her bafflement doubling at this point.

“Get your hand off of her,” Livius ordered tauntingly, voice thick and daunting.

Leticia stiffens at his uncalled-for remark and tyrannical tone. She never saw him have a fit of pique before, and she really didn’t expect that all these things would push his buttons.

For a moment, a stretch of heavy silence prevails between the three of them. Gabriel then silently gulps before finally returning his penetrating gaze with a fiery one.

“I like you, Leticia.”

Then suddenly came his confession, throwing the couple to sixes and sevens once more.

Her eyes grow wider at this as her mouth slightly gapes, astonished all over. Figure frozen still on that spot, she can only stare back at him in immense nonplus.

She can’t believe what she just heard. She can’t respond coherently to his sudden confession.

With that, the thoughts in her head begin to turn into a jumbled mess. As much as she wants to point out where exactly all of this started, she just couldn’t think straight anymore.

Livius, on the other hand, didn’t say a single word.
