"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

Anna quickly turned around, pulling Danica away from the dangerous scene. They ran as fast as they could, her desperate need to escape the forest pushing her forward. The faint light ahead told her they were nearly out—the low clouds overhead slowly beginning to disperse.But even as they moved, her mind swirled with confusion. Killian’s words kept echoing in her thoughts, and she couldn’t make sense of them. How could he be willing to kill to save her life? Tears welled up in her eyes. She had been wrong. She had misjudged him. Killian wasn’t like Primo Alessandro. Just because he was a Lombardi didn’t mean he was an enemy. Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden, blood-curdling scream: "UNCLE, NO!!"Without thinking, Anna stopped running and turned. She knew exactly who the voice belonged to.But before she could even react, a loud gunshot echoed through the air. A searing pain ripped through her shoulder, and she stumbled, feeling the blood begin to trickle down her arm. She ba

"No! No, no, no!!" Danica’s voice broke with desperation as she dropped to her knees in front of her. "No, Anna, I won’t do it! I—I can't!" Her gaze shifted to Primo Alessandro, filled with defiance, as she stood up. "Who the hell are you to do this?! Do you really think I’ll play your disgusting game?!""Danica," Anna called out firmly, standing up beside her. Her voice was steady, but the uncertainty that gripped her heart was clear in her eyes.Primo Alessandro stood up abruptly, his sudden movement sending a chill through the air as he swiftly pulled out a gun, aiming it directly at her. Anna’s eyes widened as she instinctively took a step back."Primo," KIllian’s voice rang out, his grip firm as he seized his uncle’s arm, halting him mid-action."What!" Alessandro snapped, grabbing Killian’s arm in turn, but Killian didn’t even flinch.Their actions drew the attention of everyone in the room. Killian's gaze, full of intensity, was locked on his uncle. He gripped Primo Alessandro’

"Déjà vu." Primo Alessandro's smile was maddening.Anna could hear every beat of her heart, so loud it felt deafening. The wind’s chill brushed over her hands and feet, sending a strange shiver through her body. Her skin prickled, refusing to settle, as she stood frozen, her eyes wide open and fixed on him. Her breath was heavy as she stared into his eyes, and memories of seventeen years ago came rushing back.The pounding in her chest screamed with fury, a fury born from his murder of her parents. The memory of his men beating her mother was still fresh in her mind. The sound of the gunshot that ended her mother’s life echoed in her ears."We've met again," Primo Alessandro said, his smile dripping with the promise of death.Anna couldn’t speak. Her tears had dried up, but the sharpness of her glare remained, piercing through him. If her glare were made of knives, his head would have been severed from his neck by now.He hadn't changed at all in appearance or posture. But the gray in

The loud commotion pulled her out of a restless sleep. Anna's eyes snapped open, her head pounding and her vision blurry. It took her a moment to realize she had fallen asleep on the cold, hard floor of her room the previous night.Her sluggish thoughts were quickly jolted into clarity by an ear-splitting explosion that shook the entire mansion. The tremor was so violent it felt as though the earth itself had shifted beneath her.What’s happening?She bolted upright, twisting the doorknob and stepping out into the hallway. Her ears rang with the deafening sound of gunfire, and her breath hitched as she peered down the staircase. Smoke engulfed the mansion like a suffocating shroud.Her eyes widened in horror. Men clad in all-black tactical gear swarmed the premises—uncannily similar to the Lombardi’s men. She froze on the spot, watching as the Costas guards exchanged relentless gunfire with the intruders.“A-are those…?” She covered her mouth, a trembling hand betraying her growing p

Decades ago, when she was only six years old, Anna vividly remembered the night her life changed forever.It was late evening when she arrived home from school, walking alone because she had assumed someone would pick her up. Innocent and unaware, she returned to find their house in chaos.Scattered belongings littered the floor, shards of broken glass crunched under her small shoes, and droplets of blood painted a chilling path across the ground. Still clad in her uniform, her bag slung over her shoulder, she froze in the doorway, her voice trembling as she called out.“Mama?”“Mama? Mama!” Her cries echoed as she searched the house, growing more desperate with each unanswered call. The sound of a baby’s wailing drew her to one of the rooms. There, she found her infant sister, Danica, locked inside a wardrobe.“Danica!” she gasped, her shock momentarily paralyzing her. Without hesitation, she scooped her into her arms. The baby babbled incoherently, managing only, “A... A!”—her attem

"Can you please just stop?!"After an hour of non-stop crying from the baby, Chiarra couldn't handle the frustration anymore. She clutched the infant in her arms even tighter, which only made the baby wail louder."Enough! Enough! Stop it!" Overwhelmed by the incessant noise, she nearly dug her fingers into the small, swaddled body of her child. Her eyes filled with tears, no longer sure what to do to make the crying stop.The exhaustion from sleepless nights spent caring for her baby, combined with the constant arguments with Darson, left her drained and on edge every day. Because of this, all her pent-up anger and frustration were taken out on the maids in the mansion—and on her own child."I told you to stop already! I can’t take this anymore! Please, just give me a break!" Chiarra pleaded tearfully, her voice shaking with both rage and desperation as she yelled at the baby."M-Madam… I'll take care of Chrystal for you. Please, just get some rest—""If I could, I already would have

Celeste woke up the next morning feeling like she had just competed in a championship sport the night before—her body was sore and battered.She rubbed her eyes, stretching and turning her gaze to the man beside her, who was holding her tightly.Sunlight was streaming onto his handsome face. It was no longer the early morning peek but rather noon.She lifted her weak arm to smooth out Semion's thick, disheveled hair. Her eyes traced his prominent brows and long eyelashes. She ran her fingertip down his high nose and over his thin lips.Then she realized Semion was awake, as he couldn’t suppress the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile. His cheeks also rose, trying to fight returning to their usual state.Unable to help herself, she smiled and closed her eyes. “S-Se…” She stopped, her voice hoarse, likely from all the shouting and cheering from the previous night’s joy. “Are… um, have you been awake for a while?”“No.” His eyes remained closed.She tried to remove Semion’s heavy a

Celeste leaned back against the wall as she sat on the low cabinet. The items that were neatly stacked there earlier were now scattered across the floor.Her heartbeat was as rapid as her breaths as she watched Semion’s head between her parted legs.This was the second time he had lowered himself like that in front of her. She was used to seeing Semion with his head held high, as if he never bowed to anyone. But now, the scene before her was the complete opposite.There was something in her feelings she couldn’t explain, despite the darkness enveloping the room and the single dim light providing scant illumination.He was torridly kissing her intimate parts, just like how he had kissed her lips earlier. Hungry and thirsty for her essence.“Ahhh… Ummm, ahhh!” The heat was overwhelming. She was leaking slick fluids that mingled with Semion’s lips and tongue. The addicting sound only ignited every muscle in her body.She gasped for air as Semion spread her long legs further apart. The on

“S-Semion…”Celeste gasped as Semion’s soft lips descended on her neck. Biting her lower lip, she dug her nails into the luxurious fabric of his black coat.“Mmhhmmp!” She couldn't help but moan at the sensations coursing through her.The room was dark, perhaps because as soon as they entered, Semion had seized her with a kiss, like a thirsty stranger.Her plan to shower and change into comfortable clothes was quickly forgotten due to what Semion was doing to her body.His large hand slid up her dress, moving toward her underwear. Semion’s fingers pressed down on her lower body with a mixture of intensity and possessiveness. Celeste felt it acutely when he suddenly bit her neck!“Ahh!” She cried out in pain, her throat dry as she gasped for breath.“My wife,” Semion’s warm breath invaded her ear, making her shiver and raising the hair on her arms. “I want to mark you as mine…” He kissed the spot he had bitten. “Just for me…” He licked the mark. “All mine.” His teeth brushed against he
