Uniting two individuals with different characters in a marriage bond is indeed not easy. And as normal humans, we surely have dreams of marrying someone we love.However, this might not be the case for Kaivan and Anna Maria. Today, they will carry out the sacred wedding ceremony. Yet, before this, they didn't even know each other. Whether it's true or not that Anne's child carries Kaivan's blood, it's certain that he decided to marry her before their scandal was exposed by the media.Held on a Saturday night, the wedding with a private concept was limited to important guests only. It consisted of immediate family, close friends, as well as some business associates and selected media.Wearing an off-shoulder A-line dress, Anne checked her appearance once again in front of the mirror. She twirled around before Laura and Edward came to escort her to the Ballroom."Sweetheart, are you ready?" Laura asked as she entered the room."Absolutely ready," Anne replied confidently. A beautiful sm
At exactly 10 p.m., Kaivan entered his room. Exhausted from all the commotion of the party, the first thing he did was take off his clothes. He grabbed a towel from the closet and walked slowly towards the bathroom. For some reason, he felt the urge to take a warm bath. Perhaps it could help him release the fatigue that had been building up.About 15 minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom. He paused in his steps. Before him, he saw Anne casually removing her wedding dress. She might not have realized that Kaivan was standing behind her, watching.In fact, when the dress slipped off, revealing Anne's body underneath, Kaivan's eyes widened. The next moment, he walked quickly, approaching and taking off the towel he was holding to wrap around the woman who had just become his wife."Goodness, Anne. This is my room. Why are you undressing here?"Anne turned around casually. There wasn't even a hint of surprise on her face. Or perhaps, she was just really good at keeping a straight fa
"Entrepreneur and owner of the Four Seasons Hotel network, officially married his girlfriend who is a professional model.""Kaivan Maximilian married his girlfriend Anna Maria Judith Esstele in a private ceremony."***"Damn it!"Luca cursed in frustration. He even threw the newspaper he had just read without a second thought.This morning, the middle-aged man was enjoying his breakfast peacefully. However, everything suddenly changed when Rodrigo, his assistant and confidant, arrived with news that instantly raised his emotions."So, that little brat married my target?"Rodrigo nodded timidly. He knew all too well Luca's habits when he was angry. He tended to throw the nearest object in any direction."According to the news, the wedding party was held privately and seemed quite sudden. Could it be that he married our target to protect her?""So, you mean Kaivan knew we were pursuing that woman?"Rodrigo nodded again."Perhaps Kaivan deliberately helped the woman to escape our grasp b
Basically, women are creatures of emotions. They really enjoy playing with their feelings. Beings who love to reminisce and bring up the past, and don't forget, they can sometimes be vengeful.Just like Anna Maria. All those traits are present in her. On one side, she could be a vindictive person. But when her good side prevails, she forgives and tries to forget whatever happened to her.Like right now, for example. After getting into an argument with Kaivan yesterday that led to tears, this morning she still kindly prepared breakfast. Yes, even though that guy still ignored her.However, it's not Anne's name if she gives up. This afternoon, she's even still busy in the kitchen. Seriously cooking a meal for herself and Kaivan to have for dinner.Anne even smiled contentedly when all the dishes she prepared were neatly laid out on the table. While waiting for Kaivan to come out of his room, she chose to freshen up.At precisely 7:30 PM, Kaivan's footsteps were heard leaving his room. A
This was probably the umpteenth morning that Anne busied herself in the kitchen. Somehow, she found herself spending more and more time there. There always seemed to be new dishes she wanted to cook.As usual, after finishing cooking all the dishes, Anne tasted them. Sitting calmly in the dining room, she waited for Kaivan to come out of his room.However, nearing 9 AM, he still hadn't emerged. Worried that something might have happened, Anne decided to check for herself what was going on with her husband.Slowly but surely, Anne made her way to Kaivan's room. She knocked, hoping he'd quickly open it. However, after several attempts, she received no response. Curious, she turned the doorknob and opened the door slowly, peeking inside to see if he was still in bed.To her surprise, Kaivan wasn't there. His bed was neatly made. Had he gone to work? But when? Why hadn't Anne noticed at all?In an attempt to confirm her guess, Anne even asked Meggy directly. Kaivan's personal assistant ha
Can't count how many times Anne has let out a frustrated breath. Occasionally, she seems to be tousling her long hair while softly muttering under her breath.No!Anne reassures herself that she's not even a bit jealous of what she just saw. The fact that Kaivan and Veronica were once again caught in an intimate embrace made her slightly uncomfortable.Yes.Anne nods repeatedly. It's nothing more than irritation. Besides, she knows well that Kaivan never loved her from the start. The marriage they're in is nothing more than a mere formality.Oh my goodness, Anne.Why are you getting worked up about this?After all, Veronica was Kaivan's date before you disrupted their relationship.Your presence here was unexpected.Anne squeezes her eyes shut tightly. It's so exhausting to be in this complicated situation. A hint of regret crosses her mind; why did she have to deal with an annoying man like Kaivan Maximilian?"Are you okay?"A man's voice immediately brings Anne back from her reverie
"Do you have important news today?"Kaivan immediately bombards Hans with questions as soon as Hans sits in the chair right across from his desk. It's been a while since Kenzi Maximilian's personal bodyguard visited him at the hotel."There's some news I want to share about your wife.""Ugh!" Kaivan groans. "What is it this time?""You need to be cautious." Hans' expression turns serious. "In the past few days, my people have noticed someone who seems to be tasked with observing Anne from a distance."Kaivan's brow furrows immediately."One of Luca's people?"Hans nods, reaching for a cup of coffee that's been offered to him. He takes a slow sip, then continues speaking."It seems they're trying to find opportunities when Anne is away or not under your surveillance.""Hans, let me ask you now." Kaivan's face suddenly becomes serious. "In your opinion, which makes more sense: Anne being targeted as bait to lure Giogino out of hiding, or Anne herself having been keeping that significant
A while ago, Kaivan ordered Mike to investigate who accompanied Anne for breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Then, the answer was obtained that the man accompanying his wife was one of the guests who was staying on the 12th floor. However, when he tried to confirm it again, it turned out that the guest had already checked out on the same day.Ignoring the incident for a moment, Kaivan became curious once again. In the past few days, he frequently noticed that Anne was not in her room in the mornings or evenings. She also no longer prepared breakfast and dinner like before.What made Kaivan even more curious was when he asked Mike to investigate through the CCTV footage. He discovered Anne often sitting alone in the lobby or on the rooftop while talking on the phone for hours on end. He wondered who she was talking to for such a long time and why she would leave her room just to make a phone call."Her expression clearly shows seriousness. Maybe Madam is having an important conversation
