“It seems like you didn't have a good night's sleep, Boss, huh?” Diego curiously asked, knowing that the two slept in the same room.“Shut up. Your voice is the last thing I wanna hear this morning.”Diego zipped his lips shut and folded them tightly.Semion, on the other hand, sat on the high chair in his office at Elite Realty Group. Even though he hasn't started working yet, he's already tired.He just stayed up late last night because of his and Celeste's relationship rehearsal.He felt like Celeste's soft chest was still pressed against his, as well as her arms wrapped around his waist.“Sir Primo Semion?” Semion's male secretary knocked three times from outside the office.“Come in, Nate.”“You summoned me, Sir?” the man with glasses and wearing formal business attire asked as he entered.“Yeah, I'd like to talk to you about our competition in the real estate industry.""Of course, sir. Tell me about it.""I've been hearing a lot about a company called Apex Estates, owned by the

"Yahoo! Semion’s wife picked up the two servants I sent her!" Primo Luca joyfully announced to his parents."Well," Primo Alessandro, Semion and Luca's father, placed down the letter Celeste had sent him, expressing her gratitude for being accepted into the family but stating that she could only accept five people for various reasons. The truth was, their family deliberately sent over many people to increase the chances of Celeste choosing among them. Because if it were only ten people, Celeste would surely only pick two or three.“That's just a trick, and it's not bad that we got five people to report to them about the current relationship of our son Semion and his wife Celeste,” Primo Alessandro released a mischievous grin. “Three of them will be with Isabella and me.”“You're right about that, hon,” Isabella, his wife, smiled as she sipped her hot coffee."Argh! Annoying! Not even one of the people I sent was chosen!" Valentina shouted in frustration. "But weren't the ones I sent

One Month Later (Lombardi's Residence)"It's been years since the Lombardis last hosted a party! I heard they laid low for a while because of Primo Alessandro's health issues. What do you think the party is for this time?""I have no idea, but maybe they just want to make some noise again. Do you think it's because Primo Alessandro's condition has improved, or is he passing on the inheritance to Primo Semion?""If that's the case, I should start attracting Primo Semion! He still hasn't responded to Dad's marriage proposal—maybe I'm one of the candidates he's considering to be his wife!""I don't know about you, Veron, don't you already have a boyfriend?""Well, then I'll break up with him, duh!"The three women conversing were none other than Celeste's friends. Celeste had been standing behind them for a while, while they stood around a stand-up cocktail table, holding glasses of wine and gossiping.She couldn't find a moment to interject because her friends wouldn't stop chatting.'F

As the night deepened, the crowd inside the ballroom grew even larger. Semion observed the elegant people inside, each in their respective groups engaged in conversation.He stood straight on the second floor of the venue, leaning slightly against the corridor.“Oh, would you look at that?” he fixed his gaze on the man wearing a white suit, holding a glass of wine and chatting with two other men. Arrogance was evident on his face.““I'm betting ten million as well. This party is for showcasing their wealth and status. They have nothing else to do in life but throw money around and flaunt it in our faces.””Semion smirked deviously upon hearing those words from the small wireless earphone in his ear, spoken by none other than Darson.The ballroom was filled with recordings, allowing him to listen to people's conversations inside even though he was far away.He heard Darson's annoying laughter, so he irritatedly removed the wireless earphone from his ear and crushed it, causing it to ma

Men used to court someone like Celeste Costa when she was still a young maiden. But everyone knew she was already spoken for and set to marry, that's Darson Allegra. However, those who eavesdropped on the gossip in upper-class families knew that the relationship between the two had not been good for a long time, even though they kept quiet about it.And in the past two months, their separation had become even more public. Darson had no idea how the news had spread because it was impossible for anyone in his mansion staff to talk. But unbeknownst to Darson, the rumors circulating made him out to be the villain.The eyes of the people in the ballroom alternated between Darson and Semion and Celeste in front of the stage. The whispers grew louder and louder. Even the people were conflicted about what to think and feel in this explosive situation.The guests didn't know whether to sympathize with Darson, applaud loudly for Semion's announcement, or what to make of someone like Celeste.
