Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Threats behind.
Before ten minutes could reach, Daniel came out from the room, stepping down the array of staircases dressed in one of his gorgeous outfits — black on black, accompanied by sleek black loafers.
The shirt was slightly open, showing off his beautifully crafted chest that reeked of perfection. His cologne was refreshing and sweet, carrying that familiar strawberry scent of his.
Like bodyguards awaiting their royal majesty, Draven, Alexander, and Xylander all stood around the living room, waiting for his descent from the upper floor.
As Daniel stepped down, the men couldn’t stop staring. Their eyes were glued to him; his aura was blinding at that moment. If it wasn’t his intoxicating scent, it was his slightly revealing skin that gleamed like honey.
His blonde hair radiated like the sun, and those pink lips—damn, those kissable lips—were plump and tempting, as if inviting each of them to come and have a taste.
His walk was something special. The regal stride and composure matched his personality perfectly—sassy, cold, and nonchalant to an extent.
"Told ya I would be done in not less than ten minutes." Daniel smiled, his perfect teeth dazzling the men once more.
Not hearing a remark from them, Daniel turned apprehensive. Was something wrong with his clothes or face? Why was no one complimenting him, and why the stunned gazes?
" Is it my face?? My outfit is terrible isn’t it." Daniel asked, turning around to see for himself, but realizing he had good taste unlike the men close to him, he dismissed the thought.
" Oh I realized I don’t care." Daniel giggled. Draven, who saw that delighted look, wondered how Daniel could transition from frowning to smiling so quickly. It almost seemed magical because he never expected someone to change emotions that fast.
Still spellbound, the men continued to gawk until Daniel snapped his fingers.
" Now who is wasting time." Daniel’s action brought them out of their deep fantasies as they all rushed to him, flanking him on both sides.
"You look lovely Daniel, like a brand new beautiful summer." Xylander remarked, producing a flower from God knows where to fix in his hair.
Daniel paused. Did he get something wrong? Because this was literally how he looked every day—nothing special.
Alexander, on the other hand, held his hand out and grabbed Daniel’s palm, ushering it with soft kisses.
" Daniel your aura is almost as blinding as the sun Queen of beauty." Alex purred, still placing gentle kisses on his hand. Then came Draven, carrying a bouquet of roses—flowers that smelled just like Daniel’s pheromones.
" A special flower for a sweet and special wifey." Draven smiled, still somehow heartbroken that Xylander got to talk to him first and he didn’t say what he’d planned to.
Collecting all these praises and gifts, Daniel just looked at the three of them, wrestling with what to say.
He wasn’t expecting the praise—it was extraordinary.
" Well it’s not the first time I am being praised of my beauty but thanks though my wish is that you all do better." Daniel gave them each a kiss on their faces and walked forward to the elevator.
Xylander blushed. Even Draven smiled, glad that Daniel’s bright self was back—his only wish being that he wouldn’t return to that scary version from the honeymoon.
Alexander didn’t smile or say a word; he acted as if it didn’t affect him. But once they all left, he started jumping and giggling, kicking his feet in the air until he looked around, composed himself, and walked off.
The bags had been carried earlier by a Lamborghini, so they simply entered the Benz without issues. As usual, Alexander stayed close to the steering wheel, with Xylander beside him at the front, while Draven and Daniel sat at the back seat.
As the car doors closed and Xylander gave the needed instructions to the butler in charge of his household, he gave Alex the signal, and the car finally started.
" Put on your seatbelt Dan darling we don’t want you getting hurt by any bump the car gets." Xylander said as he turned back.
Daniel rolled his eyes at Xyle’s protective attitude before putting on the seatbelt. At this point, it didn’t even seem like Draven was the owner of the baby anymore. Anyone seeing Xylander could easily think he was the father because he was definitely going overboard.
" Done happy now.." Daniel remarked, and Xylander blew a kiss to him through his palm.
" Love you Hun..." he said, turning to the front but still watching Daniel through the car’s front mirror.
Draven saw this as his chance to talk to Daniel.
" Are you with your phone Dan??" Draven inquired, and Daniel nodded. It was in his bag, but he wasn’t planning to use it. He wasn’t a technology person—and he didn’t think he ever would be.
Xylander had bought him laptops, computers, tablets, and the latest iPhone, but none of it interested him. Thanks to his strict parents, he ended up with that personality.
" Okay let’s see how much followers you have gathered." Draven cooed excitedly.
Followers—what the fuck was that??
" Like how who will follow me not a social type and a terrible introvert without friends so." Daniel inquired, and Draven facepalmed.
Seriously—who in this 21st century doesn’t know what followers are? Like, in big 2025—c’mon.
" You’re kidding right." Draven asked, but Daniel just shrugged it off like it was nothing. Him and his mochan lance again.
" Okay Dan you’re making a buzz online like you’re now a celebrity everyone is dying to meet you and you can literally become a billionaire with this so I wonder why you’re not using it." Draven’s explanation finally caught Daniel’s attention as his eyes widened.
Celebrity? Billionaire? Like how...?
" You’re making it all up I don’t have such." Daniel dismissed it as childish wishes.
Draven was persistent—he’d make sure Daniel changed his ideology at all costs.
" Okay bring the phone let me show you." Draven requested, and Daniel brought his handbag, pulling out his tablet. The phone was inside, but he was too lazy to stretch his hand and take it.
" Take it...." Daniel handed the tablet to Draven, who looked at him with a questioning gaze.
" Open it let’s see your Instagram account." Draven pointed at the tablet, and Daniel looked lost—it was like he was hearing a foreign concept repeatedly.
Instagram—was that someone’s name? And how did one even operate it?
" I don’t know how." He cutely confessed, and Draven’s jaw dropped. So this wasn’t a joke—he really didn’t know how to use devices.
Well, thank God he had him.
" Daniel Morreti in this honeymoon you would take lesson from me on mobile technology." Draven grinned, and Daniel turned to face him.
" Hmm Draven don’t you have books to read because I remember your Butler complaining that you failed almost all of your courses repeatedly so as sweet as it’s to mentor me focus on passing a single course." Daniel’s words quickly shut him up.
Fair point. He was at risk of repeating the year, and here he was playing instead of reading—just great.
" I don’t know what to do I am terrible at science courses And here I am taking care of you." Draven commented, feeling somehow down that he wouldn’t graduate with his friends.
Daniel thought for a while and then turned to him with an idea.
" So do you need a tutor." Daniel inquired, and Draven nodded—a good tutor, not like the one who ran away after a week, voice patched from shouting all day because Draven never understood anything.
Same with the others.
" Oh that’s my specialty I am a genius in science I don’t brag but it just comes naturally when you’re good you’re good." Daniel giggled to himself, and Draven’s mood brightened instantly.
He was so glad he nearly jumped for joy.
" Pretty please please please tutor your boy." Draven begged, eyes going goo goo like a baby’s, so cute that Daniel was forced to accept.
Such a nuisance.
It was evening already, and the street lights illuminated the beautiful bridge they were on. While driving, Daniel looked through the Benz’s glass and saw a familiar face.
The fuck!!
Was it just him—or was that Matteo Valez on a bike following them? But when he looked again for a proper view, the figure was gone.
" Any problems.." Xylander questioned on seeing his curious gaze and Daniel shook his head negatively.
" Just thought that I saw something..." Daniel uttered and brushed it of.
