CHAPTER 1: How do we meet?
It was a lunch break for the 5th and 6th graders at Saint Clair Middle School, and everyone was having a good time. The kids were playing and running around in the school’s playground. Chasing each other while laughing.
Only one boy, Mike Kristoff Murgoci, sat alone on the bench near their canteen. He is a quiet, odd guy, which is why he doesn’t have many friends and he is always getting bullied.
“Look at him, he’s weird, no one wants to be his friend hahaha loser!” a mean boy shouted while laughing at him. The small boy was hesitant to say anything because he could feel his tears streaming down his cheeks, making the other kids laugh even harder at him. Suddenly, a female appeared and stood up for him.
“Hey!! Come on, leave him alone or I’ll report you to the teacher for bullying him,” The kids fled as a result of the young girl’s yell. The child did not even bother to glance up until he felt a finger beneath his chin. He looked up and saw a lovely girl looking at him, and he noticed something strange on his chest: his heart was racing and he couldn’t control it. Mike is only twelve years old, while Denise is eleven. He blushed a little as he saw Denise’s lovely blue eyes. “Hello, my name is Eesha Denise Colly, and what is yours?” She smiled at him and spoke to him in a kind tone.
“My name is Mike Cristoff Murgoci,” he stated confidently in a whisper. She sat next to him and extended her hand. Mike blushed again when the cute little girl smiled at him and added, “From now on, I shall be your friend,” and he glanced at her puzzled. Mike subsequently discovered that he is in love with this adorable little girl, because just seeing her grin made him desire her even more as if he needed her to be his possession. It’s just him. “Can you tell me what that is?” Mike pointed to her toy, and she grinned back, causing Mike to blush again and again.
“This is my favorite Teddy Bear, his name is Ben, and he is my best friend, it was given to me by my mom. She said that it would make me feel safe “while giving him a kind smile Mike, on the other hand, became envious and felt compelled to act; he wants Denise’s attention solely for himself. Even though it’s her beloved Teddy Bear, he refuses to share.
“If you say I’m your friend, then I’ll guard you against bullies so you won’t need Ben,” he assured her while smiling innocently.
Denise laughed and replied, “Yes, you are my buddy, not just a friend, but my Best Best Friend in the World, and Ben may be our friend as well.” Mike was furious because of what Denise said. He was enraged and seized her teddy bear and tossed it in the trash. Denise looked at him, perplexed by what he had done. Her eyes are sad, but Mike smiled and hugged her warmly, saying, “It’s okay, it’s just a teddy bear, it can’t protect you, only I can.”
“But how are you going to protect me? You’re being bullied by the youngsters as well “Denise continued, her voice mournful. “I can protect you,” Mike assured. “It’s just that I didn’t want to waste my energy on them, so I just ignored them.” Then Denise nodded without knowing what he was talking about.
Mike didn’t care about the teddy bear; all he wanted was Denise to himself; he felt as if he was the only one who could touch and be with her; she was his and he wouldn’t let her go; she would always be his and only his.
So, this is how the beast and the beauty meet.

7 years later…
Denise was now 18 years old, and she was beginning to mature as a woman, becoming more self-aware of her appearance and more confident as a result of Mike’s influence. He is always on her side, supporting all she desires and protecting her from all bullies, as he has promised to do. Mike is always her closest companion. She treated him as if he were an elder brother, and she was glad to have him on her side. Mike is already 19 years old, and she has noticed that his voice has become deeper, maybe due to the onset of Adam’s apple, and his appearance has begun to shift into that of an adult.
“Denise, where you are?” Mike yelled as he walked into her room. Mike was always welcomed into her home by her parents, who adored him for his positive attitude and trusted him to safeguard their daughter. “I’m here!” she yelled back While straightening her uniform and applying blush to her delicate pinkish cheeks. She became aware that someone was staring at her. Mike was the one who smiled at her.
As he stared at her in the mirror, he said, “No need to put any makeup on your face, my princess; you are already gorgeous in and out.” Denise grinned as she remembered what her best friend had said. Then, in her cute girly voice, she replied “Well, today I’m planning to make some friends because it’s been a while you know the more me-” he cut her off. “Oh come on, what for? You don’t need any buddies because you already have me. Is it possible that I am not enough?” He said it in a mournful tone, attempting to control his rage. Denise grimaced slightly and smiled at Mike, saying, “You are more than enough to me Mike, you are my greatest best buddy.” She didn’t want to irritate him in any way.
“I will always protect you, my princess, as I promised, so you won’t need any friends. They won’t protect you; only I have the power to do so “He stated it with a smile as if he was trying to convince her. Denise blushed slightly as she walked down the stairs with Mike holding her hands as if he didn’t want to lose her. “Okay fine,” she said, “but we better get to school now, we’re getting late.” That’s why he’ll go to any length to protect his girl from those who want to take her away from him. He’ll beat them up until they’re terrified of stealing what’s rightfully his.
So, Denise and Mike were able to attend all of their classes. They’re both in their first year of college now. They both enroll in a business management course, and Mike intends to enroll in the same course with Denise to ensure that no one snatches his sweetheart. Denise, on the other hand, was not pleased since every time someone spoke to her, Mike became enraged. He’s constantly interfering, and this was the first time she felt her closest buddy was being too possessive and bossy toward her, but she didn’t mind because he’s overprotective of her like an older brother does of her younger sister.
Mike sat alongside her at lunchtime and whispered to her that she couldn’t sit with other students, especially male students.
There was a guy who wanted to talk to his girl while Mike was getting their dinner. ” Hello, my name is Vince, and I’d want to sit next to you.” Vince smiled as he asked her, but she responded “yes,” forgetting that it was Mike’s seat since she was overjoyed at the prospect of making a new friend.
Vince and Denise began to converse and joke with one another. Mike tightened his teeth and his eyes were filled with jealousy when he saw them. He began to consider assassinating that individual. He returned to his seat and smashed his and her plates upon the table. Denise paused her laughter and raised her eyes, noticing Mike giving Vince a death gaze. She was terrified.
“How come you’re chatting to my girl!” He yelled, and the terrified youngster trembled. “All we’re doing is-” Denise began speaking, but Mike interrupted her, saying, “I’m not talking to you; I’ll punish you later!” Denise only stared at her food. “I’m s-sorry Mike, I d-didn’t want to offend you,” the child apologized before fleeing in terror.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
When Mike sat down alongside her, she seemed a little disoriented and terrified. She was perplexed as to why Mike was acting in this manner; it was excessive. “Why are you talking with him? I’m the only one who can talk with you, touch you, and make you laugh “Mike said to her, staring her in the eyes.
Denise replied with a nod to Mike, “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to upset you, I’m just trying to make friends.” Mike then kissed her on the cheeks and said “I’m your best friend, and I’ll be there for you at all times. You are welcome to speak with me. I’ll never abandon you.” Denise then began to eat. Mike made sure he was the only one who could make her laugh, so he made her happy again by being warm, kind, and nice.
Despite this, he sincerely adored her. When he becomes angry, he scares her, but he always protects her, much as the Prince protects his Princess.
