Kapitel 38: Revelation

Hestia stopped running to catch her breath. She looked around and saw a gazebo with a swing, she then walked over to the swing to take a rest. The cool wind refreshed her hot and sweaty body. The peace and quite of the place made her hum a melodious song she learned from Mrs. Adele, it was a sweet and soft tune. Mrs. Adele always hummed this to her whenever she feels sad and lonely and everytime it makes her all positive and warm inside because she knows that someone cares for her but when the orphanage suddenly closed she never heard the song anymore and she didn't saw Mrs. Adele ever again.

She was surprised when she tasted her salty tears. She missed Mrs. Adele so much, she wanted to tell her that she has a son now and that she was now a baker and because of her teachings she has survived many trials without giving up. She missed her mother figure so bad.

"Hey, why is it that everytime we're alone you're always crying?" Damon sat at the swing next to her.

Hestia wiped her tears. She looked at the man who changed her world. "Maybe because you always bully me."

Damon love Hestia's smile. Her every smile brings light to his gloomy world. "When did I bully you sweetheart?"

Hestia laughed heartily. She was now enjoying their banter. "Everytime you act like a pervert!" She challenged him to deny her statement.

Damon smirked. "Blame yourself sweetheart, you're just too irresistible and just too delicious to eat."

Hestia stared at him with wide eyes. "You're a cannibal?!"

Damon stared at her like she have two heads. ".."

Hestia began to shed tears. "Please don't eat me! I've read from the internet that you can acquire diseases from eating a man's flesh and besides I'm not delicious!" If she dies now what will happen to Ichigo. She shuddered when the thought of her son being eaten in tnis remote Island, no one will ever know that they were murdered and eaten.

Damon can't believe his ears. "Hestia calm down! I won't eat you." His voice was gentle and soothing to the ears.

Hestia shaked his head, still in her wild imagination she was still unvonvinced.

Damon sighed. 'Really this woman have a wild imagination.' "Sweetheart, I'm not a cannibal. Look at me, can this handsome face kill and eat people?"

Hestia bit her lip. "That's what psychophat's say."

Damon pulled his hair in frustration. He is almost losing his mind but when he heard a melodious laugh his frustration turned into irritation. "That's so funny sweetheart." He snarled.

Hestia was supposed to be afraid but her laughter did not died down. Her stomach hurts so much from too much laughter. She wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes. "You should have seen your face, it was too funny!"

Damon sat silently on the swing and when he smiled Hestia shuddered. Her escape was futile when Damon grabbed her and pulling her to sit on his lap. Hestia was now straddling Damon and she can feel his manhood growing big.

"Now how should I eat you?" Damon licked Hestia's ear before biting her earlobe before sucking it to sooth the pain. He nestled his head on the curve of her shoulder while brushing his nose to her neck and alternately sniffing her addictive scent.

"You smell of cinnamon." He buried his nose deeper in her neck, "I love my scent on yours."

Hestia moaned when Damon bit her neck the sudden pain caused her to wince but she was blinded by pleasure when he licked and sucked the same spot he bit earlier.

She unconsciously rocked her body. The friction made them moan. Damon's hand squeezed Hestia's butt, he stared intensely at Hestia looking for permission so to answer she pulled his neck to give him a kiss. They kissed like there's no tomorrow, their tongue danced intensely wanting to dominate the other. Hestia was out of breath from their torrid kiss, she looked at Damon with hooded eyes and both saw the desire for each other. Their second kiss was more intense and heated, their hands explore each others body.

Hestia was pulling on Damon's hair or scratching his arms while rocking back and forth. Damon removed Hestia's shirt throwing it away haphazardly and squeezing her left boob, massaging it and pinching her nipples alternately. His right hand enthusiastically kneads her butt.

"Sweetheart, your so f***ing sweet." Damon held Hestia's face and kissed her forehead, eyes, nose bridge and lips. Their kiss this time was sweet, it was like savoring the finest wine ever made.

"Ahem..."

Damon opened his eyes to glare at whose disturbing them.

"Although I love to have another grandchild but I have to disturb you two before your cousins can witness a live show here in the gazebo." Leo smirked and gave his son an approving look. He then walked away to buy them sometime and to give time for Hestia to recover.

"Another f***ing blue balls!" Damon frustratingly muttered. "Let's leave and have our own romantic get away, just the two of us without and distractions and no one to disturb us." Damon hugged Hestia, rubbing his head on her boobies.

Hestia played with Damon's hair. "What will your parents say if we leave without attending their anniversary?"

"They'll forgive us if we told them the good news that their having another grandchild." Damon said matter-of-factly.

Hestia flicked Damon's forehead. "Is your brain filled with perverted thoughts?"

Damon smirked. "I know you love me being naughty."

Hestia laughed. "Come on let's go before your dad comes back with your relatives."

Damon looked at her like a puppy who lost his favorite toy. She smiled and pulled him up the swings but the big guy just won't budge. "If we return home we can have a date, I'll spend a whole day with you so carry your stubborn butt and let's return."

"No cancelling?" Hestia nods.

Damon stroked his chin. "No distractions, no interruptions?" Hestia rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'm all yours for a day."

Damon smiled. He stood up and pulled Hestia besides him. "Let's go and let's continue in my room."

Hestia jabbed his waist and run away towards the castle. "In your dreams!" She shouted.

Damon only smiled. From the moment she met Ichigo and Hestia his life became more bright and colorful.

When the night arrived, Damon together with Hestia and Ichigo ate their dinner at the tower to catch the sunset and watch a meteor shower. The day end with good nights and a passionate kiss.

The day of the anniversary was super busy. Outside the mansion, some men are arranging a stage while the florist was instructing her crew on how to design and arranged the different flowers around the stage and inside the castle. The chefs started to prepare the ingredients for the dinner.

The time for the anniversary arrived and guests from rich and noble families started to show up. They're all dressed to kill. Lila and Leo greeted them all at the entrance. The atmosphere was festive and everyone are having fun.

Hestia stood facing the mirror. She was too nervous to go out and embarassed Damon and his family.

"You're so breathtakingly beautiful." Hestia faced Damon who was leaning on the door frame. She smiled sweetly. "And you Sir looks so dashing!"

Damon strut towards Hestia. His kingly aura attracts even the blind. "I don't think I can allow you to attend the party." He caressed her cheeks.

"Why?" Hestia sulked.

"I don't like other men to approach you or even look at you." Damon's possessiveness is acting up again.

Hestia tip toed and gave Damon a chaste kiss. "Don't worry I won't leave your side so you can guard me all night."

Damon kissed her forehead. "I would love that." He gazed at her beautiful face and lowered his lips for a kiss.

"Mom! Dad! Come on the party's starting grandma and grandpa wants us to be at the garden for their announcement." Ichigo burst inside the room and pulled his parents towards the garden.

Hestia and Damon looked at each other and smiled.

The three walked down the stairs and all eyes were on them. Hestia felt conscious and hid behind Damon. Ichigo waved towards his grandparents and uncle while Damon walked like the ice king. His caring and loving side is only reserved for his loved ones so he doesn't care if other people call him cold and a demon king.

When they descend from the stairs, group of rich businessmen and women approached Damon like wolves. They flatter him and give him praises just so they can do business with the youngest billionare in the whole world. Just by being associated with Damon can bring so much fortune for their own businesses and the more greedy ones even brought their daughters to seduce the heir of a multi-billion company.

Hestia stepped back to gave way to the people who wants to approach Damon. Looking from the sidelines, she now realize how far the status between her and Damon was. She envied the women who can stand by his side without embarrassing him. She knew that it's bad to think about the negative stuff but once you are confronted by reality it's hard to deny the facts that she came from a poor background.

When Damon felt that Hestia's warmth was gone, he looked around and saw her with a man. His face became dark making the people around him step back and when the man moved closer to Hestia, Damon shoved the guy standing in his way and walked dangerously towards his prey.

"Sweetheart, why did you leave my side. Did you not promise that you'll never leave me." He looked menacingly at his cousin.

Hestia felt relieved when Damon showed up. "I was giving you some privacy to do your business."

Damon glanced at her and brushed an unruly hair away from her face. "Next time don't leave my side," He once again glared at his cousin. "I don't want flies to buzz around you." Damon then guide Hestia towards his parents. He wrapped an arm around her waist proclaiming his ownership and warning others to back off not unless they want to be completely annihilated.

Hestia discreetly glanced at Damon's cousin when their eyes met she quickly averted her gaze.

The party was in full blast. Lila and Leo were proudly introducing Ichigo as their grandchild while Hestia remained seated on their table. Damon never left her side even though she kept on insisting him to interact with their guests but his only answer was he doesn't need to entertain the guests of his parents so they sat at their table in a comfortable silence.

The time for Lila's and Leo's important announcement arrived. The two loving couple went to the stage. "We would like to thanked all our friends, business partners and family who joined us in our special evening. Me and my wife really appreciates your warm wishes and gifts but as you all know this occasion is not only for our anniversary it is also a special occasion for our family." Leo waved for Ichigo to come forward to the stage as he walked towards the stage everyone was curious to know who the little boy was. "Few of you already knows who this young boy is but tonight all of you can welcome my grandson Ichigo Tharros Gray!" Leo's proud announcement echoed throughout the garden. Cheers and clapping are heard after the big proclamation. Lila carried her grandson and waved for Damon and Hestia to come forward.

Hestia was stupefied by the sudden announcement, she had no clue about this proclamation. Damon gracefully stood up and assist Hestia to stand on her feet. She was still in daze when she realized they were on the stage and all eyes were on her. All the single women gave her dirty looks while some men look at her like she's a piece of meat. The attention is making her dizzy. Hestia's defense mechanism is to run as far away as she can and hide but then Damon anchored her at his side. His firm and assuring grip on her hand made her relax.

Lila grabbed the microphone from her husband and happily announced Hestia as her daughter-in-law. "And right here beside my handsome son is his faincee and the mother of my grandson Ichigo!" Another round of applause was heard.

The crowd was all surprised by the sudden declaration but all of them were happy for the Gray family but a particular someone stood frozen on his spot. He was looking at Hestia with mix emotions but what dominated the man was pure anger. He slowly walked towards the stage and angrily declared a shocking reveletion. "That kid is my son!"
