Celine paced the familiar confines of their home, her nerves thrumming with anticipation. The hours seemed to drag on, each minute a lifetime as she waited for Ermanno's return. But she held fast to her joy, the knowledge that he was finally coming home after all this time a buoyant beacon in the darkness.

With a careful hand and a heart full of love, Celine had crafted a celebratory welcome, her decorations a loving tapestry of 'Welcome Home' signs and balloons. She grinned as she admired her handiwork, each flourish a testament to her devotion.

“He is going to love this.”

The clock ticked away, each minute a creeping reminder of Ermanno's absence. With the evening sky darkening, Celine's worry edged closer to the surface, and she dialed Oliver's number, seeking solace in an answer.

"Oliver, do you know when he's going to get back?" Celine's voice betrayed the weight of her anxiety.

"Not really, Celine," Oliver replied. "He said he's busy for now, but he should be home soon."

    Oliver's words crashed against Celine like waves, washing away any hope she'd held onto. "Left the country?" she echoed, her voice barely more than a whisper."We haven't seen him in a day," Oliver continued, his tone brimming with concern. "So we tracked him down and... he's not in the country."Celine's mind raced, her heart hammering in her chest. "Do you have any idea where he might have gone? Any clues at all?"“We have no idea yet, once we find him, we would let you know.”Oliver's assurances fell on deaf ears as Celine's mind spun in a maelstrom of worry."Oliver?" she called out, her voice sharp and urgent."Yes," he replied, his own concern palpable."I want to be with you when you find Ermanno. I need to be there," Celine insisted, a fire in her eyes.Oliver nodded, his expression resolute. "Neo will drive you to the airport. We'll let you know the moment we find out where Ermanno has gone."Celine's fingers trembled as she ended the call, the unspoken fears of Ermanno's dis

    "I missed you so fucking much," Ermanno growled, his words dripping with hunger and desire as he scooped Celine into his arms.

A smirk twisted his lips - he might be outnumbered, but he would not be outmaneuvered.His eyes darted back to the contract in his hand, the words sharp as a serpent's bite. The letter within offered him a choice: either he signed the contract and took over Alessandro's company, or Lucio would pay the ultimate price Witt his life.Ermanno's pulse quickened, his mind racing to outwit his father's scheme.As Ermanno slipped the contract into his jacket pocket, he left the decrepit school behind, the echo of his footsteps a grim soundtrack to his thoughts.

    "So, what's it going to be?" Alessandro sneered, his smugness like a physical presence in the room. "You're going to shoot your father?"Ermanno's gaze was as sharp as glass, his voice hard as steel. "You were never a father figure to me," he said, his words cutting deep. "You were a beast, nothing more."Alessandro laughed, a cold, humorless sound. "Nonsense! At least you turned out well.”"You're a billionaire, with companies all over the world, multiple enemies," Alessandro continued, his smile growing wider. "And you've got the beautiful lady by your side. If you ask me, I'd say I did you a favor.”"I love the way you think, you're a gaslighter," Ermanno hissed, venom in his voice. "No wonder Mom stuck with you after all the abuse."Alessandro's smirk grew wider, a predator's grin. "Your mother loves me. That's why she stayed."Ermanno glanced around the room, taking in the tense atmosphere and the armed men on both sides. His own personal sniper stood at the ready, waiting for th

    Ermanno's feet seemed to move on their own as he rushed to Celine, pulling her into a tight embrace. She trembled in his arms, her voice a whisper of fear and shock. "I... I just killed a man," she stammered, her hands quivering as she clung to him. Ermanno shushed her gently, his voice low and soothing. "Shh, you saved me," he murmured, his fingers gently prying the gun from her grasp. The silence between them was heavy with the weight of the moment, the aftermath of violence and blood ringing in their ears. Ermanno gazed down at Celine's tear-streaked face, his heart aching for her pain and fear. Gently, he brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen into her eyes. “Ermanno… I just killed him.” Celine's mind was in a blur, the shock and horror of what she'd done still echoing through her body. She'd been home, a terrified witness to the struggle between Neo and Alessandro's men, when she'd seized her chance to escape. With a racing heart and frantic thoughts, she'd

    Zelda’s POVThe hotel was exquisite,a place where the wealthy whispered about power over glasses of aged whiskey. But I wasn’t here for luxury. I had walked through its pristine halls with a single purpose. Every step I took echoed my resolve. When the elevator doors slid open, I kindly stepped into the private hallway leading to the penthouse suite.Two guards stood outside,their expressions unreadable. They didn’t quite question me, didn’t even flinch. They knew who I was. Or rather, who I was about to become. One of them quickly reached for the door handle,,pulling it open for me. As I stepped In gracefully,I caught the scent of something sterile beneath the rich fragrance of fresh lilies.The suite was massive, marble floors, crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows that showcased the city beautiful skyline. But I barely noticed. My eyes sparkled as they landed on the two persons patiently waiting for me. Marco was very much relaxed on the couch,a full glass of whi

Celine lay beside me, her body rigid, her fingers clenching the sheets in a death grip.Her face is twisted in discomfort, a fine sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead despite the cool morning air drifting through the open balcony door. She is clearly having A nightmare. I immediately pushed myself up onto one elbow, watching her,my chest tightening at the sight of her in distress. I had seen her in many states, laughing, teasing, moaning my name, but never like this.

Marco hissed,his voice sharp but quiet enough to avoid drawing attention. His dark eyes burned into mine,his grip tight around my wrist,firm, commanding, but not painful.I met his icy dripping glare with an impassive look,tilting my head slightly. "Relax, Marco. It was just an accident."His scoff was laced with irritation. "An accident? So Out of all the people in this city, you just happened to bump into her? Who are you kidding, love?"I smiled slightly lazily. "Hmmmmmm… Maybe just maybe fate wanted me to see her, you know?"His jaw clenched, he looks hot when angry

Our tongues and lips played sinful games with one another. Placing my hand gently on hischest, I pulled away from the kiss, trapped in his Hunter eyes.“Fuck! I can’t seem to get enough of you.” he chuckled.I shyly blushed, glancing around,and noticed a woman selling flowers at her little stand just across the street on the other sidewalk.“Wait here, hun,” I said and rushed off before he could say anything.

The security team struggled to keep the enthusiastic throng at bay, but it seemed like a losing battle. "I'm sure pictures of this are already circulating online," I mused, as I stood before the private jet, emblazoned with my name and signature. Ermanno's smile was affectionate as he gazed upon me, his pride evident. "That's yours, sweetheart," Ermanno murmured, wrapping his arms around me from behind. Confused, I turned to him, my expression a mix of surprise and incredulity. "Wait, really? That's my private jet?" "All yours," he confirmed with a grin. "I wanted to get you something special for our honeymoon, and what better way than your own private jet?" I was rendered speechless, the magnitude of his gift overwhelming me. "Really?"
