"Boss, it's been a month, and Miss Celeste hasn't budged from her bed. Are we just going to let her stew in there?" Diego voiced his concern.Meanwhile, Semion remained buried in the documents Diego had handed him, delving into the Allegras and Costas affairs."Just let her be," he reclined comfortably, crossing his legs on the table. "You can't rush someone who's grieving. She'll emerge when she's good and ready.""But aren't we wasting precious time? Are you certain everyone will be onboard with your plan? We've got all the paperwork sorted; we're just twiddling our thumbs waiting for her," Diego persisted."Stop fretting, Diego. We're not on a time crunch. Healing takes time, just like these darn scars all over my body," Semion gestured to his scars. "Plus, she's lost everything now; it'll be a tough nut to crack for her.""Alright, boss.""Just make sure to keep tabs on her. If she decides to take the final curtain call, all our hard work will go up in smoke.""Yes, boss. Miss Cel

Inside Semion's office, the only sound breaking the silence was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the desk. His gaze was fixed intently on Celeste, who squirmed under his scrutiny, feeling the weight of embarrassment. Semion lounged back in his chair, one hand propped up, and she couldn’t decipher his expression."Um..." She couldn’t muster the courage to meet his gaze. "I-I’m sorry... I thought it was all just a dream. I didn’t mean to. I apologize for barging into the bar room without permission and messing with your expensive alcohol. I’m really sorry for being rude and even vomiting on you! I’m truly sorry!"If she could have sunk into the floor out of embarrassment, she would have. But she had no choice but to face the consequences of her shameless behavior from the previous night. Semion sighed. "How are you feeling?""Huh?" She blinked for a moment, then looked up at him. "I’m okay. Thank you for understanding and for your staff’s proper treatment. I appreciate it.""Are y

"Tell me!" Celeste's nails dug into his hand as she stared into his eyes filled with desperation. "What did they do to my parents?! To my brother?!" Anger flared in her eyes. "They already took Anna away from me!! I will never forgive them for that!! But why, what did they do to my family?!"Though surprised by the anger emanating from the usually timid and gentle woman, Semion didn't show it on his face. He remained serious."From the beginning, your marriage to Darson Allegra was a trap," Semion stated, recounting the truth based on all the information he had gathered and his personal investigation. "You probably know there's a long history of conflict between the Costas and the Allegras. But your family made a wrong decision by forming an alliance with them. Your family fell into their trap the moment they agreed to marry you off to their heir."He saw tears welling up in Celeste's eyes, but he continued speaking."For them, that marriage and business merger were just the first ste

Celeste's pause lingered after hearing Semion's words. She had been mulling them over, wondering if he was genuinely serious about his marriage proposal.She gasped, her earlier attempts to stifle her sobs coming to an abrupt halt."Marriage?" she uttered, incredulous. "Do you realize what marrying me would mean for you?"In truth, Celeste no longer cared about what Semion asked of her after he helped her. If it meant sacrificing her own dignity as a woman, she'd let him claim her, as long as she could exact her desired revenge. Because all she had left to offer was herself.But marriage hadn't crossed her mind. Firstly, what decent man would marry someone who'd been previously married? Secondly, what respectable heir of an influential family would marry someone from a fallen background like hers? Thirdly, didn't he realize she couldn't bear children, even if he wanted to have an heir with her? But wouldn't it be more fitting for him to marry someone else?Many questions raced through

"Here's our marriage contract," Semion said, offering the organized papers to Celeste with a smile. "Read it aloud. If there's anything you want to add or change, let me know immediately."The papers contained agreements they must follow in this upcoming marriage."This contract is entered into between Primo Semion Lombardi and Celeste Costa on September, 2024," Celeste read aloud from the first sentence."Continue," Semion said, settling opposite her.Her eyes focused on the first section. "Public appearance. Both parties were expected to act as a committed couple in public, projecting an image of love and devotion to their friends, acquaintances, and the world at large…?" She glanced at Semion with curiosity.He nodded. "That's right. When we're in public, we have to show that our relationship is real. We hold hands, hug, and even peck a kiss at worst. You know how socialization works; if people even sense a hint of suspicion, they'll start gossiping.""Well... if it gets out in pub

Celeste entrusted all the arrangements for their legal marriage to Semion. He took the lead in sorting out their paperwork.All of Celeste's belongings left at the Allegra mansion were promptly returned to her on the same night of her attack on the Allegra mansion.Celeste was immensely grateful to Semion for that. Even though the Allegas didn't return a single cent to her besides her belongings."Seniora~ Lyn and I will take care of your belongings to move them to your new bedroom with Primo Semion!" Melissa, the new personal maid chosen by Celeste herself, said cheerfully."Oh, Seniora, please don't help, because it's our job with Lisa," Kaitlyn, Semion's chosen personal maid for Celeste, replied carefully, making it clear that there were two people following her orders now."What else could I do?" she smiled. "Alright, I'll entrust my belongings to you.""Yes!" the two eagerly responded and immediately got to work.She watched the two women, with lithe bodies, carrying her lightwei

At the crack of dawn, pandemonium broke loose within Semion's mansion. The reason? The woman they dreaded had arrived."Val, long time no see!" Semion moved in for a hug with his elder sister, only to receive a stinging slap on the head. "What the–""What on earth did you do?! Why am I just learning now that you almost kicked the bucket, Semion?! If Uncle hadn't tipped me off about the trouble with his family's wife, I'd have been clueless! You nearly met your maker, for crying out loud!"Semion couldn't dodge another blow as his sister struck him again. This was the main reason for his trauma with her.Valentina Lombardi's strength matched that of a man. Even though Semion could easily overpower her if he chose to, doing so would land him in hot water with his father."Please, ease up, Val. My wounds are still fresh–""What in tarnation?!" Valentina's palms smacked both sides of Semion's face hard to snap him back to reality. "Y-You... What happened to your left eye??""Could you go

Semion's encounter with his elder sister Valentina was like facing a monster. First, because he grew up being beaten by her without being able to retaliate. Second, because it was always a pain to listen to her scold him, and third, because she was just plain tough.But now, in front of him, ever since Celeste arrived, Valentina seemed like a gentle lamb."What's wrong with you?" Semion couldn't help but ask the woman. "Don't tell me you're planning to court my wife?"He expected her to yell at him, but Valentina remained calm, her attention focused on Celeste."I've never seen you before, what's your name?" her usually loud voice softened.Semion's lips twisted in disbelief. "You're a pretentious monster!"They paid no attention to him."I'm Celeste," Celeste replied shyly but sweetly."Celeste, what a beautiful name," he said. "I know Celeste means heavenly; it suits you well. Especially since you look like an angel."Celeste's cheeks turned pink. "Th-Thank you, Val.""What the heck
