The extraordinarily lavish wedding ceremony lasted until close to midnight. The guests slowly dispersed, and the lively venue resumed its peace. Luke and Bianca decided to have their honeymoon at the castle on the water. In the dreamy night, a black Rolls Royce adorned with flowers drove silently along a path among the woods toward the fairytale-like ancient castle. Countless fireworks illuminated the night sky, opening and closing like gigantic umbrellas. Bianca sat in Luke's embrace, looking at the beautiful scenery through the car window. She was entirely mesmerized. A firework's life was short, but it would give a lasting impression beyond its lifespan. Life was like that too. They might encounter multiple obstacles that stood in their way, but as long as they held each other tightly, they would be able to shine like fireworks. Their future would be as bright and blissful as they made it to be. The Rolls Royce slowed to a halt in front of the entrance of the c
Luke smiled bewitchingly. There was a playful glint in his gentle gaze. He gazed at Bianca as though she were a priceless treasure. Suddenly, the man picked Bianca up in a bridal carry. "Let this king bathe you, my queen." Bianca could not help but chuckle. She did not expect that the usually serious man would indulge in role-play… "Shouldn't the queen bathe the king instead? That's what I see in the movies," Bianca joked. "If that is what my queen wishes. Thou shalt not go back on thy word." Luke glanced playfully at Bianca. Bianca covered her mouth and smiled. "Hmm, if I'm your queen, does it mean that you have a harem that I don't know?" "Thou art my only queen. My empire shalt only be shared with thee." He grinned wickedly, and his hands quickly relieved Bianca of her clothes and even her underwear. He carried her and stepped into the bathtub. The lavish bathroom was covered in mist, and the man did not attempt to hide his desires. Bianca almost could not breath
Luke knew that Bianca loved to look at the architecture of foreign countries, especially European architecture. That was why Luke decided to bring her there for the honeymoon. Three days later, a gigantic cruise ship docked at the port of Venice, Italy's famous "Floating City." Venice was full of history. Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Ducale, the opera house, and the basilica were the famous attractions that oozed culture and beauty. Tourists of many different countries were wandering the city. Piazza San Marco was the liveliest spot in Venice. It had been the social, religious, and political center of the city, and it was a must-visit landmark of the city. Surrounding the public square were many cafes, boutiques, and specialty stores that attracted visitors from different countries. Near the square was an open field with neatly trimmed grass, exquisite corridors, a beautiful musical fountain, and flocks of pure white pigeons. The musical fountain was surrounded by various sc
It was a beautiful woman about five-foot-seven in height. Her curly hair was dyed purple-red. She had the typical face of an internet celebrity -- big eyes, a tapered chin, apple-red lips, and puffy cheeks. She had heavy makeup on her face, though it was obvious that she had many hyaluronic acid injections. Her appearance made her stand out from the rest of the tour group. Bianca could tell that the woman was Hera Sanchez, her classmate in junior high. Hera was once the prom queen. She was quite different from how she looked in high school, but her overall shape did not change. Bianca remembered Hera very well because she used to be her bully. Bianca did not remember the names of the two young women next to her, but she remembered seeing them before. They were part of Hera's gang. Hera was hugging the arm of a plump middle-aged man and resting her head on that man's shoulder. The man was a full head shorter than Hera. His face was as round as a plate, and his eyes w
Hera chuckled and spoke to Bianca arrogantly, "I'd love to bring my classmates on a trip, but I don't think I can do it this year." Bianca blinked, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips. "Oh, why is that?" Hera grinned smugly. "You should know that you need a visa to travel, and it's such a hassle to apply for one. It'll take forever for everyone to get ready. Also, everyone's busy with their careers and families now, and we won't gather everyone. What's the point if we can't get everyone?" She thought that she was quite smart for thinking of such an excuse. Once she got out there, Bianca would not be able to find her. Bianca frowned. "There are some countries…" She wanted to say that certain countries, such as the Maldives and Mauritius, did not require a visa or offered visas upon arrival. Hera interjected before she could finish her sentence. She opened her eyes exaggeratedly. "You look confused. Don't tell me that you don't even have a passport!" Minnie and A
Hera was shocked by Luke's icy gaze. She felt as though her heart was popping out of her chest. She tried to calm herself down while still trying to dress down Bianca. "You probably don't know about her, Luke. Bianca and I used to be from the same town, and she's been a sleazy girl since I knew her. Not only does she have multiple boyfriends, but I've also heard that she secretly dates her teacher and trades her body for good results. Don't be deceived by her pure looks." Bianca crossed her arms and watched in amusement how Hera was trying to slander her. If she had a shorter temper, she would have slapped Hera several times already. Of course, she did not do that. If Hera found out that the "pathetic worm" had become Luke's wife, Bianca could not imagine the expression on her face! 'Hmm… this'll be interesting.' Bianca could not help but grin when she thought of how Hera was digging her own grave. Hera thought that Bianca's grin was supposed to instigate her. She gla
The people from the tour group began to discuss animatedly after hearing what Luke said. A girl with a round face almost collapsed. Her friend managed to steady her. "I didn't expect that the girl was Mr. Crawford's wife. If that's the case, she couldn't have smuggled here…" They did not expect that sudden revelation. The subject of ridicule was actually the wife of the CEO of T Corporation. "That's right!" The round-faced girl's friend was a tall young woman in glasses. "I thought that she looked somewhat extraordinary earlier. I bet Hera insulted her only because she's jealous of her." "Right. Hera looked so confident too! I nearly believed her. Tsk tsk, how shameless!" "Mr. Crawford's wife is so pretty. Look, I don't think she's wearing any makeup. Her skin is so smooth. She's the perfect match with Mr. Crawford." "Look at Hera's boyfriend. He might be rich, but he's probably a windfall tycoon… Not to mention he looks like a pig. Poor Hera… heheh…" Hera became the fo
Bianca and Luke's honeymoon lasted for almost two weeks. On the last day of their honeymoon, they had planned to take a flight back to A City. However, Percy's cruise ship happened to dock in the city they were in, and he invited the newly-wed couple on board. The couple delayed their plans of returning and went on the ship. The Mallory family ship was called the Zephyr. It was the property of the Mallory family, and it could sail freely on the open sea. The cruise ship was more than ten floors high and could hold more than a thousand passengers. It cost a billion to build it. The amenities of the luxury cruise ship included buffet restaurants, swimming pools, clubs, bars, gyms, galleries, space simulator rides, casinos, and so on. Only the top hundred wealthiest individuals in the world would receive an invitation to board the cruise ship. All other passengers would have to pay for an expensive ticket to enjoy what the ship had to offer. Everything above the tenth floo
