Reception
At eleven o'clock at night, it was not too late for a party. Unfortunately, it was different with this party. Andreas decided to take Vlora to leave the event early. However, something crossed his mind, causing a frown on his forehead.
“What's wrong?” Vlora asked, looking at Andreas.
Andreas gazed at her. “Actually, there's one family member I haven't introduced you to. I just realized I haven't seen her since earlier.”
“Is it your grandmother?” Vlora asked.
Andreas shook his head. “Of course not. Nana has retired from attending such events since Papa had a mistress. It's safe to say that Nana has never been at the same event as Papa for the last 36 years.”
A very long time. Even before Andreas was born.
“I heard the story from people, and I've seen it for myself. That's what I've witnessed all this time. They are biological mother and son who are genuinely not on good terms.”

It should have been a peaceful breakfast as usual. Unfortunately, everything changed when someone's footsteps slowly approached the dining room. Three faces lifted. Three pairs of eyes turned. They looked at a grown man who pulled out a chair with a broad smile. He sat down without apology. He joined them for breakfast after a waiter promptly prepared a meal for him. Amanda and Vian exchanged a look. Then they both turned their attention to Bryan, whose face immediately tensed. Obviously, Andreas' presence was not the breakfast menu he liked. “Ah! Having a meal with the family is truly delightful.” Andreas' voice broke the silence. He smiled as he looked at his family members one by one. It was not at all surprising that Andreas found it normal that Amanda and Vian acted cautiously. It was as if they were prepared for the tension that would arise between Andreas and Bryan. Bryan clearly showed his displeasure with Andreas' presence. A father's attitude that was completely inapprop

That night, Vlora had just finished preparing her tools when the doorbell rang. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was already ten o'clock. It was an unusual time for a visit.Vlora adjusted her nightgown and looked through the intercom. It was then that she realized that sometimes there were one or two people who did not understand common courtesy. Andreas seemed to be one of them.The door opened. Their eyes met immediately.“I hope I'm not disturbing you, Vlo.”It was not just Andreas' words that made Vlora exhale for a moment. There was also a wry smile on his face.“At ten at night? Oh, of course, you're not disturbing me.”Andreas laughed. “Do you mind if I ask for a cup of coffee?”“A cup of coffee?”“You can substitute it with something else,” Andreas replied. Apparently, a cup of coffee at ten o'clock at night had been added to Andreas' list of pecul

As quickly as Andreas' voice became husky, Vlora felt the air around her change. She immediately assumed a cautious posture, anticipating every possible scenario that might unfold.Vlora shifted slightly when Andreas said that so explicitly. His tone was soft, but she could sense the underlying desire.“You're not wearing a bra under that nightgown.”Vlora froze. She forced her brain to think quickly to take precautions. Unfortunately, Andreas' voice returned and interrupted her train of thought.“Am I right?”Spontaneously blinking, Andreas' intense gaze made Vlora move. Her natural instinct urged her to put some distance between them. She had to keep her distance and be on guard. At the very least, she should fold her arms across her chest.But no. This was Vlora. She never let anyone intimidate her. Including Andreas.Andreas was well aware of this. So, he remained calm, but alert. He was sure that Vlora wou

Moving up the wedding date was obviously no big deal for Andreas. Especially since there was someone who would undoubtedly support it wholeheartedly.That someone was Noelle. The grandmother wasted no time in supporting Andreas and Vlora's decision. She took matters into her own hands and prepared everything that had to do with the wedding.Understandable. Grandmothers all over the world would be happy to see their grandchildren get married. Especially when it's their first acknowledged grandchild.In stark contrast to Noelle's joy, Andreas received a confused look from his parents. Still, he could see the gleam in Amanda's eyes, and his younger sibling was practically beaming with happiness.Of course, in Vian's eyes, Andreas was the perfect older brother. As a younger sibling, she could not find a fault with Andreas. Andreas looked out for her and had always been a pleasant companion.However, Vian had to be objective enough to say that Andreas h

Accelerating the wedding was not a problem. With the help of Noelle and Frans, Andreas was able to handle everything flawlessly. In no time, he was able to ensure that the wedding would take place in two weeks. A timeframe that satisfied him, considering that it had not been easy to get Vlora's consent.However, there was one thing that disturbed Andreas' happiness. It had to do with the schedule after the wedding. So, it was not surprising that he went straight to Lucas' office that afternoon and spoke frankly.“You are absolutely heartless, Luc!”Lucas raised his face, glanced at his watch, and noticed that it was already break time. Rising from his seat, Lucas asked, “Would you like to have lunch together?”Andreas narrowed his eyes. “Lunch?” he asked incredulously. “Do I look like someone who wants to have lunch with you messing up my plans?”Lucas chuckled. He put his blazer back on and walked ov

They were now united in marriage in front of God and witnesses. It was time for them to receive well wishes and prayers from the guests.“How are you holding up, Vlora?”Finally, they had a brief moment to sit and cat

Nadine stopped. She turned and looked at the newlyweds, who were smiling broadly at the right moment. No matter how hard she tried to deny the atmosphere that was emanating from them, the fact hit her just as hard.Andreas had chosen Vlora, but it should have been me.Nadine's heart ached. As if there was a crushing grip that had shattered all her hopes all this time.Thousands of days. Thousands of nights. Nadine had always imagined that she would always be at Andreas' side. That she would be the one who would marry Andreas. That she would smile and laugh in Andreas' embrace.Sadly, all those fantasies were gone in an instant. She had to accept the reality that there was now a stranger accompanying Andreas. A woman who did not belong to their circle.“Nadine.”A voice called Nadine's name as a glass of drink appeared in front of her face. She accepted the drink without turning around and took a sip, well aware of who wa

Wedding dresses are not just clothes, they are designed to enhance the beauty and charm of the bride. Just like jewelry, a wedding dress should add to the attractiveness of the wearer. This includes drop-waist dresses like the one Vlora wore.Similar to shoulderless dresses, their use naturally avoids strapless bras. As a result, many women often opt for strapless bras, or in certain cases, fashion designers will incorporate bra cups into the dress.The second option tends to be more preferred. It's more effective, more efficient, and perhaps even more advantageous than fashion designers around the world had previously thought.Andreas blinked once. His gaze was straight, tilted slightly downward in an attempt to observe. He remained silent for a moment, as if he needed to absorb the scene before him. It could be said that his silence was not intentional, but rather natural, for he was deeply fascinated by what he saw.Vlora did not move. She stood still,
