Of the Internet stories I have ever read, perhaps the most impressive one is The Alpha King's Contracted Luna (Ava and Grayson). The story is too good, leaving me with many doubts. Currently, the manga has been translated to My Billionaire King 38. Let's read the author's The Alpha King's Contracted Luna (Ava and Grayson) Internet story right here.
Chapter 38
-Ava’s POV
He took me to Italy!
Italy!
I was still trying to wrap my mind around it as we landed. Not just on any ordinary flight either–his private jet. Grayson h driven straight to his private hangar, ordered me onto the jet, and now, here we were.
In Italy.
For pizza.
I stared at the breathtaking view of the Italian countryside as the jet slowed to a stop, my mind racing. I was just going to order in. Who takes someone all the way to Italy for pizza?
Grayson Blackwood, apparently.
He didn’t even ask if I had plans, or work to do. He just… decided. And the most ridiculous part was that I had actually followed him. I could have stood against him even what the order. I didn’t. The man exuded this unshakable confidence, and I found myself caught in it like a wave. Was this how he always operated?
Just throwing his weight–and wealth–around like it was no big deal?
I wasn’t exactly dressed for this either. The simple jeans and sweater instead of a coat I’d thrown on earlier felt completely out of place as he led me down the steps of the plane and into a sleek black car waiting for us. Everything he did was effortless–powerful–and the way people scrambled to open doors for him, clear pathways, it was like watching a lion movi through a field of sheep.
The ride was quiet, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. I caught myself glancing at him every few seconds, trying to make sense of this man who could terrify and fascinate me in equal measures. His face was unreadable, as usual–cold, calculating. The kind of cold, like he could shut out the entire world without blinking.
Yet here we were, on what felt like… a romantic getaway.
No. It wasn’t a romantic getaway. It couldn’t be. There was nothing between us like that.
Right?
Stop dreaming Ava.
We finally pulled up to a restaurant that oozed elegance. One of those places where just the scent of food in the air screamed “expensive.” My eyes scanned the exterior, and immediately, insecurity washed over me. There was no way I was dressed for this.
Before I could stop myself, the words tumbled out. “I’m not even dressed for this place
Grayson paused, turning to me with that cool, detached expression that always made my heart jump. “It doesn’t matter what you wear,” he said, his tone so final, like he was stating the most obvious fact in the world. “You always look stunning.”
1 blinked, taken aback. It wasn’t just what he said, it was how he said it–like my beauty wasn’t even a question. Like he had decided, and that was that. I swallowed, heat rushing to my checks.
Was he even aware of how his words affected people?
He continued walking without another word, and I had no chole but to follow, still trying to process the fact that Grayson

Blackwood had just complimented me.
Even more baffling?
The fact that it hit me so hard.
We stepped inside the restaurant, and immediately, all eyes turned to him. People whispered, and heads turned like magnets dr to steel, but Grayson? He didn’t even blink. He moved through the restaurant like he owned the place- which, starting to know him, he probably did.
As we approached a table, a man I assumed was the chef hurried over, his face breaking into the broadest grin I’d ever seen.
“Signor Blackwood! It’s been too long!” The chef practically kissed Grayson’s hand, his enthusiasm borderline ridiculous. I stood there, dumbfounded, as Grayson nodded curtly, barely acknowledging the man’s presence.
Then, the chef turned to me, his eyes widening as if he was seeing something unbelievable. “Che bellezza!” he exclaimed, “Welcome: Welcome. What can I make for you? Anything you desire, it is yours.”
1 blinked. “Uh… pizza?” I muttered awkwardly.
He gasped, dramatically waving my suggestion off. “Nonsense! I will make you something far more worthy of your beauty. Leave it to me!”
I wasn’t sure what to say, so I just nodded, blushing under the weight of his flattery. Grayson, meanwhile, had already seated himself, looking completely unbothered by the attention. Like flying someone to Italy for pizza and having people fawn over him was just another Thursday.
“So…” I began, trying to break the silence that had settled between us. He had gone quiet again, his focus entirely on his phone now. “Do you, uh… do this often?”
1 gestured around. “This. Flying to Italy on a whim, being treated like royalty… that sort of thing.”
The chef returned moments later with plates of food I couldn’t even name, placing them in front of us with flourish. My stomach growled at the sight of it all, but I felt a little guilty eating something so lavish when I’d only asked for a simple pizza.
“Grazie, la chiamerò se avrà bisogno di qualcos’altro.” (“Thank you, I’ll call you if she needs anything else.“) Grayson chef, Interrupting my thoughts:
The chef smiled at me, I returned it and then he left. Grayson turned to me. “Eat. You wanted pizza, so you’ll eat.”
I glanced at him, realizing how ridiculous that sounded. This wasn’t pizza. This was an entire gourmet spread. But
So, I picked up my fork, taking a bite of what looked like some kind of pasta. And, unsurprisingly, it was delicious. The foc melted in my mouth, rich and flavorful in a way that simple pizza couldn’t compare to.
