The air around them crackled with electricity, as if the universe itself were anticipating their game of chance.

Celine broke away from the embrace, patting Cyrus's chest as she sauntered back, smirking playfully. "You have 30 minutes and you're out of coins, remember?" she reminded him, glancing back at the teddy bear.

As she turned to look at Cyrus, she saw him marching towards a group of mischievous-looking kids, a wad of bills in hand. Intrigued, she watched as he engaged in some sort of exchange, the kids' expressions shifting from confusion to delight as they handed over a bag of coins in return for the cash.

Cyrus strode back to Celine, a smug grin on his face, his pockets jingling with the coins he'd acquired. He held out the bag of coins triumphantly, like a pirate displaying his stolen treasure.

"I've got my coins now," he said, his voice dripping with mischief. "And I'm going to win that bear in less than 30 minutes. And when I do, I'll claim my prize." His eyes twinkled wi

    Celine's concern gave way to frustration as she ushered Ermanno into her apartment, shutting the door with a decisive click. "You look like a mess," she muttered under her breath, shaking her head.Ermanno swayed unsteadily, his voice slurred from the alcohol. "I'm so sorry," he murmured, contrition etched across his face. "I didn't mean to hurt you."With a heavy sigh, Celine steered him towards her bedroom, gently laying him on the bed, her emotions a tangled mess.“Get some sleep.” Celine moved to leave, but Ermanno's hand shot out like a viper, snaking around her wrist and tugging her down onto the bed with surprising force."Ermanno, let me go," she protested, wriggling to free herself from his grasp. But his hold was unrelenting, his strength fueled by desperation and alcohol."No, please, let me explain myself," Ermanno begged, his eyes pleading, their depths filled with raw vulnerability.Celine's heart ached at the sight of him, this once proud, confident man reduced to a fr

    Ermanno's voice cut through the silence, his gaze unwavering. "Eyes up here, princess. I'm not a piece of meat for your amusement."Celine couldn't help but smirk at his response. "Well, you could have just asked me to come, and I would have come willingly. No need to resort to kidnapping. Besides, I almost killed one of your men."Ermanno's expression was nonchalant as he rolled up his sleeves. "Then I'll bury him. A dead servant is no use to me."Celine's patience was wearing thin."Ermanno, enough games," Celine demanded, her voice sharp. "What do you want with me? Why drag me back here like this?""You're pregnant," Ermanno stated, his voice confident."Yes," Celine confirmed, her tone curt."With our child," he continued.Celine's eyes flashed with annoyance. "My child," she corrected, the words slicing through the air like a blade. "Last time I checked, it takes two to tango. You didn't impregnate yourself."She crossed her arms over her chest, impatience radiating from her ever

    ~In the dim light of the room, Cyrus gazed at Celine's slumbering form, his heart filled with both tenderness and concern. She had been sleeping fitfully for the past ten hours, shivering from what seemed like a fever.Gently, he cupped her face, feeling her soft skin against his hand. Just as he was about to speak, Celine sneezed, jolting her awake. Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light as she yawned and stretched."Good morning, princess," Cyrus whispered, his voice soft and soothing."It’s a new day Already?" Celine's voice was hoarse as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Cyrus smiled reassuringly, offering her a glass of water."It's past twelve," he said, watching her as she gulped the refreshing liquid, her parched throat slowly easing. "You've been asleep for a few hours."Celine's gaze swept across the room, taking in the subtle details that told her she was indeed in Cyrus' house. "Thanks for taking me here," she murmured, finally acknowledging her location.

Congratulations!" he teased,Ermanno shook his head, his expression pained. "She doesn’t want me around her or the baby. She doesn’t want me at all," he whispered, his voice a mixture of desperation and defeat."She won’t want you around if you keep going hard on her, Ermanno," Oliver countered. "She's a woman.

    "I saw your handwriting on the letters and gifts," Celine explained, her tone laced with gentle amusement. "And only my secret admirer knew exactly what I loved. You seemed to know it all." She paused, a small frown creasing her brow. "It bothered me a bit, but I'm not mad."Cyrus held her hands, his gaze intense. "I'm sorry," he said, a hint of remorse in his voice. "But after that night at the bar, I couldn't stop thinking about you, Celine. You're impossible to forget."Celine's smile softened at his words, her heart skipping a beat. "So you decided to stalk me for over two years?" she teased, her voice playful."You slipped through my fingers that night," Cyrus murmured, a twinge of regret in his voice. "I wanted to stay faithful to my fiancée, but you took over my mind. I had to know everything about you. But you were still with him then, and there was nothing I could do."Celine nodded, empathy in her eyes. "So when you and your fiancée broke up, and you moved to Los Angeles, I

What had she ever done to Ermanno to deserve such hatred? Her father's death had pushed her past the threshold of grief and into the realm of fury.As she pulled into Cyrus's driveway, she wiped away the last of her tears, her face a mask of controlled rage. Cyrus looked up from his phone, his face shifting from casual to concerned."Celine, what happened?" Cyrus asked, reaching out to pull her into a hug.

    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

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.
