Chapter 787 A Show in the Pool
Nadir shook with laughter so hard she waved her hands and stamped her feet. Finally, she rose, deciding to get some air on the balcony.But when she stepped outside, her eyes locked on a startling sight.Down below, Julian was still swimming in the pool — completely naked.His powerful strokes cut through the water like those of an Olympic athlete. Even at a distance, it was obvious he wasn’t wearing a swimsuit.Heat coursed through Nadir’s body as her gaze lingered on him. Instead of recoiling in shock and retreating, she stood transfixed, drinking in the forbidden view.She resisted the wild urge to grab her phone and capture the moment, zooming in later to savor it again.After indulging in the sight for a few moments, she forced herself to turn back inside, sliding the French doors closed behind her.“Feeling better?” Briana asked, glancing at her.“I think I lost my breath,” Nadir muttered under her breath, before speaking aloud, “Yes, I’ll get ready for bed.”“Goodnight, Mother.
Chapter 786 The Fiancé and His Parents, Celebrating
Briana closed her eyes, trying to summon the image.In her memory, the Vasconcelos lobby appeared: a young man in his twenties, tall, with hypnotic blue eyes and dark hair. His smile was charming, almost magnetic, and he used it to greet everyone who passed — though always with a particular emphasis on the women. Claudia, who never bothered with the turnstile entrance thanks to her status as the CEO’s wife, strolled through that day. She leaned in toward the receptionist, whispering something only he could hear. His smile widened as she passed, ignoring the private VIP access as though she were merely another assistant.The memory dissolved, and Briana found herself back in the warmth of the suite, cheeks flushed scarlet as her mother’s voice carried on.“Well, the young man would miss entire days of work,” Nadir explained, her tone sharp with irony. “According to his colleagues, he was too exhausted to get out of bed after nights of sheer depravity at Claudia’s hands. And then, one d
Chapter 785 We’ll Have Our Love Night After All
At the Régio Hotel that night, Mark was deeply upset after hearing Celia’s decision. She told him she would accept being fired, if that meant avoiding more problems for him.But Mark could not accept such a sacrifice, and his voice came sharp in response.“Celia, don’t be ridiculous,” he said, frowning. “Who’s speculating that we’re having an affair?”On the other end, in Jake’s apartment, Celia sat on the sofa with tears glistening in her eyes, her voice breaking with desperation.“It’s not that we are having an affair,” she whispered. “People are gossiping that one day we will...”“That’s a lie!” Mark cut in, fierce and determined. “All of this is just your fears talking.”“You think I don’t have reasons to be afraid, Mark?” she shot back.“No,” he said firmly. “You’re my ex-wife, and you sacrificed yourself for Brie without even knowing it. You deserve to be rewarded, not punished.”Her lips curved into a trembling smile, fragile but comforted by his words. She felt protected again
Chapter 784 You Owe Nothing to Celia
At Ferro House, Nadir and Briana were having an excellent dinner. They could hear Julian’s splashes in the pool. Regis was nervously closing the window curtains so the two ladies wouldn’t see the cook swimming without a swimsuit. “Is the dinner to your liking, ladies?” Regis asked, disguising his nervousness. “It’s delicious, Regis,” Nadir looked around. “Where’s the cook so we can thank him?” “He’s swimming in the pool, Mom. It’s his second hobby,” Briana giggled. “We’ll talk to him later.” “Much later, ladies!” Regis cleared his throat nervously, fearing the ladies might get scared if they went to the pool now. After a bow, he left. Nadir found the closed curtains strange but decided to bring up another subject. “Daughter, now that we’re alone, what’s this nonsense about feeling ‘indebted’ to Celia?” Briana took a deep breath, sipped some grape juice, and continued, “I don’t even know how to explain it, Mom. You know Celia was also a victim of the spiked coffee, ‘courtesy’ o
Chapter 783 Hanging up the Phone on Lord Ferro’s Face!
At Karl and Luana’s apartment, the couple’s night was interrupted when Karl had to talk to an upset Mark. “Mark, your wife should stay home if she wasn’t feeling well enough to work,” Karl asserted. “As for Celia’s dismissal—” “Can’t you stop whimpering about it, huh?” Mark interrupted him. “It was a legitimate and necessary request!” Karl insisted. “Celia Soares is neither reliable as an employee nor as a friend. We have grounds to fire her, but for some strange reason, you decided to protect her.” Mark hardened his gaze. “There’s nothing strange about wanting to protect her. Cut it out, my friend.” “Yes, there is,” Karl smiled maliciously. “I remember she’s your ex-wife. Mark, do you still have feelings for Celia?” Mark clenched his phone tighter, outraged by such a question appearing. “Are you crazy? I love Briana. She’s my wife, and we’re going to have a baby!” “Great! Keep repeating that in front of the mirror every night so you don’t forget,” Karl joked. “I will never f
Chapter 782 New Royal Couple?
After the initial greetings, Clayton and Franciane were having fun at a table far from the Italian bar. Mark and Vargas occasionally looked at the couple, suspicious of their intentions. “Are we possibly looking at Aurelia’s next royal couple?” Vargas asked softly, taking a bite of arancini. “That’s what it looks like.” Mark smiled mischievously. “The guy didn’t waste any time, huh? He knows the Parliament would pressure him to find a wife to be our queen. Instead of risking being assigned an ugly, overweight wife, he already found a beauty that pleases him.” “Very well, let’s see what the future holds for us.” Vargas finished his drink. “Shall we go back to the hotel?” Mark grabbed his phone. “Lord Ferro, allow me to handle the payment for what we ate,” Vargas said, getting up, sensing that Mark wanted to make a call. Mark handed his wallet to Vargas, who went to the bar. Mark scrolled through his contacts until he found the letter K. On the other end of the call, Karl and Lu
