The Grand Mistress

Feather was still confused and a bit irritated with how Hawk called her yet she tried so hard to put on a smooth acting, still flushing an innocent look on her already pretty face. However, before her mood turned into something that would definitely turn off President Hawk, Feather seemed to have remembered something.

Fuzzy Cat.

She heard that before, a very long time ago perhaps. Now that she was giving it much of a thought, some memory from her childhood came back to her piece by piece and a sudden shock broke to her face! Her brain stuttered for a moment and every part of her paused while her thoughts caught up!

Just as her eyes grew big and her mouth covered with her own hand, she gasped, "Can it be? Can it be?" She uttered many times before she went on, "Can it be that you are the boy from Somerset Village?"

Hawk's face brightened, "Yes my fuzzy cat. You do not know how much you have made me happy by just remembering who I am"

"And yet you are Hawk Monsanto, the President of M Conglomerate," Feather almost couldn't believe it. The boy in the Somerset Village was some part of her past she was forced to forget and seeing him now coming back for all that he had promised was something she had never thought of happening. "And you are telling me you are the boy in my childhood, it's just so impossible!"

Feather's memory took her back to many years before when she was just a little child. Every spring break, her father used to bring her to Somerset Village to spend some time out of the city. One time, on her last day and probably her last spring visit in that village, a boy ridiculously appeared in their front gate with a vow that one day he will marry the Han's Scintillant heiress and relentlessly chased her ride until the village's border.

Years after, when she finally got interested, she inquired about him and learned that the house where the boy and his family used to stay got burned down to the ashes, and the boy with it.

"Yes it is impossible," Hawk admitted already worried on how Feather's face grimaced at all the revelation. Not liking the view, he put a hand on her cheeks to soothe her tension "But somehow I made it happen, thanks to you"

"They told me you died," She hollered still in shock. "I swear everyone in the village thought you and your family died in that fire,"

"You might be familiar with how the Monsanto's were on the run previously," Hawk gave her some glimpse of what truly happened. "That's how my parents cut off ties with everyone we meet when it is time to move to another safe place,"

Feather just realized then. Indeed, what Hawk said made sense. The Monsanto family were previously hunted by all their enemies when the M Conglomerate's economy went down drastically and to protect themselves, they all went into hiding. So the boy in her past was President Hawk in his young years?

What a fate!

What a glorious fate!

"Oh President Hawk," Feeling Hawks hand on her cheeks, Feather felt like she was daydreaming and when his hands shifted to her waist pulling her closer, her body tightened. She was then uncertain where to put her hands as there was not enough distance between them. At the end, she boldly raised her hands and steady them on Hawks' chest as she lavished herself with his masculine scent. She was almost irrational then but she was able to hold a grip on her own thoughts and cleared her mind. Now that she was aware of why Hawk came for her, she had to make sure things would end up to both their satisfaction. "What you just told me, I don't know how to feel about them. I cried for many days and nights about what happened to that boy and tonight, you just make me remember how much I've missed him so,"

"Hush my love," Hawk pressed her on his chest and kissed her brown curls, "I am here now. If only you knew how much I've waited for this day and how much I have endured while watching you from afar,"

"And why didn't you come to me sooner?" Feather was almost crying over the thought and it was almost impossible to tell at this point whether she was faking it or not, "Don't you know even until now, I'm still having nightmares about you and when I dance, I think of you all the time,"

"I am sorry my heiress but coming to you earlier wouldn't have done us any good. I still have to make myself good enough for you" Hawk apologized as he lavished himself on her warmth. He had longed so much for her and at the moment he could not think of anything but only her. His fuzzy cat. "But here I am, as promised I came back,"

"I don't really mind if you are good enough or not," Feather was sobbing hard already and the sound of her sobs ached Hawk's heart in a satisfying kind of way knowing it was tears of pure joy of their unexpected reunion, "Just like I don't mind about it before,"

Hawk did not anymore answer as Feather's words made him too happy to argue over it. Very much pleased, he pulled something from his pocket and showed it to Feather's face.

It was an old metal ring with a single butterfly wing on the top. Feather recognized it in an instant and took it from Hawk's hand.

"Remember that?" Hawk asked.

"Of course I do. It is the twenty-five cents ring I fought hard to have," Feather recalled. Her recollection brought her another unwanted memory that she instantly shoved away from her head.

"How cute of you to remember the price," Hawk chuckled. "I still remember how delighted you were when you saw it at the festival and although this ring cost nothing great, this however was my most treasured possession"

Without waiting for any reaction on Feather's part, Hawk then took her hand. "My Feather I promised you that I will come back for you and now I did. I guess it's time for me to fulfill my second promise,"

"And that is?" Feather asked, uncertain of what promise it was since he mentioned too many promises already.

"That someday I will marry you," Hawk's words paused Feather's world for a moment and his next words changed her fate right away, "That someday is now,"
