"This evening, breaking news as it has been confirmed that Tech Tycoon, Alaric Pritzker, has tied the knot with Evelyn Rockefeller, daughter of Real Estate Mogul, Christian Rockefeller, in a surprise wedding ceremony held yesterday in a secluded location.
Sources close to the couple reveal that the wedding was a low-key affair attended by a handful of close family and friends, with the billionaire entrepreneur opting for a casual look wearing a simple black suit while the bride wore a beautiful white dress.
It's reported that the diamond wedding ring of Mrs. Pritzker is estimated to be worth over $50,000.
The couple has not yet commented on their wedding, but fans and followers are offering their congratulations and well wishes on social media.
This wedding between two of the most prominent families in the tech and real estate industries has certainly caught the attention of the Starfall City, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple."
Evelyn switched the TV off with a heavy sigh.
Evelyn stood nervously in front of the wardrobe, her eyes wandering over the garments. Her gaze settled on the exquisite piece of black lingerie that she had bought for this special occasion. She hesitated for a moment before having the courage to reach out and grab the silky fabric. As she undressed, Evelyn felt a mix of excitement and fear.
She took her time, slipping into the black lingerie and admiring herself in the mirror. The way the lace hugged her curves made her feel sexy and confident. Despite the fact that her marriage to her husband was forced upon him, she still hoped that tonight, her wedding night would be the night they could find some common ground.
Evelyn stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection. She had worked hard to dress herself up, all in the hopes of finally capturing her husband's attention. But as she heard her husband, Alaric's footsteps approaching their room, her heart began to sink. She knew that he wouldn't even spare her a glance.
Alaric entered the bedroom, barely sparing her a glance as he walked to his side of the bed, throwing his suit jacket on the chair. Soon, he got busy on his phone.
Evelyn's heart sank even more. As she tried to hide her disappointment.
Alaric Pritzker, the CEO of TitanTech, the strongest tech company in the Starfall city.
In terms of appearance, Alaric is tall and well-built, with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. His hair is perfectly styled, and his piercing blue eyes sparkle with dominance. He has a straight nose, full lips, and a symmetrical face that could belong on a magazine cover. His skin is flawless, with just a hint of stubble adding to his rugged masculinity. His charm and charisma draw people towards him, and he carries himself with poise and grace. He exudes a quiet strength and a magnetic presence that makes heads turn wherever he goes. His impeccable fashion sense only enhances his already striking looks, and he carries himself with a sense of effortless elegance that makes him irresistible to anyone who catches his eye.
The shy, gentle Evelyn Rockefeller had hopelessly fallen for this man the moment she laid her eyes on him.
A few moments passed, Alaric finally looked up from his phone and took in Evelyn's current appearance. For a moment, his mask of indifference was broken. He asked in a cold voice, "What the hell are you wearing?"
Evelyn's voice trembled as she answered, "I thought this dress would look nice..."
He interrupted her, "Well, you thought wrong. Change into something more appropriate."
Evelyn's eyes filled with tears as Alaric ignored her completely. Her heart hurt with so much pain, as she knew that Alaric never loved her and the marriage had been strictly an arrangement made by their parents.
Determined not to give up, Evelyn went to the closet and changed into a more conservative dress.
After she was done changing, she said in a soft voice, "Is this better?"
Alaric glanced at her, "It will do." He added, "And next time, don't dress up like a slut. I will not look at you no matter what. I already made it clear before the wedding."
Evelyn felt like her heart was breaking into a million pieces. She had been trying so hard to please him, but it was all in vain. She knew she needed to try harder.

The next day,
In Alaric's study room,
As Alaric was sorting out some important documents, Evelyn walked in, "Alaric, I made you your favorite coffee. Shall I bring it to you?"
Alaric didn't even look up from his laptop, "I don't have time for that."
Evelyn persisted, "Please Alaric, it won't take long. I thought it might help you relax."
Alaric's anger boiled over, "I said no, Evelyn! How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need or want your help? Just go away!"
"S..sorry." Evelyn quickly left the room, tears streaming down her face.
Days turned into weeks, and Evelyn kept trying to gain Alaric's affection, but it was all in vain.
________
One evening,
Evelyn walked into Alaric's bedroom, and Alaric was sitting on the bed, looking at something in his hand. As she approached him, she saw that he was holding a photograph of a beautiful woman.
The woman has long, flowing brunette hair that cascaded down her back in loose curls. Her almond-shaped green eyes were framed by thick, dark eyelashes that add a touch of glamor to her already stunning features. Her high cheekbones gave her face a sculpted look, and her full, pouty lips were the perfect shade of pink. Her slender frame is toned and athletic, with long, toned legs that seemed to go on forever. Her skin was flawless, a smooth and radiant complexion that seemed to glow from within.
Unlike Evelyn, the beautiful woman looked like someone who carried herself with confidence and poise, moving with an effortless grace that captured all eyes towards her.
"Alaric, who is she?" Evelyn asked, unable to hide her curiosity.
Alaric's face hardened, "That's none of your business."
Unintentionally, Evelyn kept persisting, "She looks familiar. Isn't she Dianna East, the top model of the country who left the city all of a sudden?"
Alaric groaned and finally answered, "She's my ex-girlfriend. The one I was supposed to marry until my parents forced me into this loveless marriage."
Evelyn's heart sank further than she thought was possible. She finally understood why Alaric and she slept in different rooms.
That day, she finally realized that deep down, Alaric would never forgive her for taking away the woman he really loved.
Days turned into months, and Evelyn still had tried everything in her power to gain his attention and affection, but nothing worked.
There was a trace of shock on the face of Ava. Arnold could see it and despised it. He could tell that something had swept Ava's mind off the topic of interest. “Is everything okay?" He asked her calmly. Ava chuckled and looked at him. Then, she said, “The internet is buzzing, you know." Arnold sighed. “I do think we expected it." Ava shook her head. Arnold didn't understand what she meant. “Something else just took over the internet,” she said to him and flipped the screen for him to take a look. "Ryan and Kristie are divorced?” Ava nodded his head. The news was definitely bad for Arnold. He hated the fact that Ryan had to always find a way to wriggle himself into the conversation. “Isn't that somewhat strange?" She asked him. Arnold shook his head. "Maybe not,” he replied. He tried to continue from where they stopped in their conversation. But Ava was not having any of it. Arnold got pissed. He was mad and had to vent it on the right person. It was merely a matter of time
Moments later, Ryan drove into Kristie's home and parked right in front of the house before walking in. Kristie was just seated in the living room, idling with her phone, when he walked in. Ryan's motion came to an abrupt halt the moment he saw her. The document that he received earlier on was clutched tightly in his hand. “Look who we have here," Kristie said in a jovial tone. But Ryan was not cut out for her play at the moment. He drew closer and slammed the document on the table. “What's the fuss about?" She asked him. She was purposely trying to get under his skin. He was going crazy already. What was the need to drive him crazier? Ryan pointed at the document on the table. “What is this about? A divorce? At this moment? Damn it, Kristie! This isn't right." Kristie was mute for a while. She leaned back and crossed her legs. “What isn't right? You mean divorcing you isn't right. You are not that daft." Ryan shut his eyes and opened them. He was searching for the proper wo
A couple of hours into the day, Ryan was getting his check-up from a nurse. The whole event could not just give him a little breathing time. Ava had hit him in a manner that he least expected her to. “When will I be free to leave this place?" He asked the female nurse attending to him. With a smile, she replied, "When you are ready, sir.” Ryan felt he was ready to take on his daily routine again. They say a man whose house is on fire has no time to go after rats. That was his condition at the moment. There was no need for him to let himself remain on the hospital bed, waiting to be properly healed before facing the challenges ahead of him. He could imagine the disappointment his father was probably feeling over the matter. The man had his reasons to be mad at him. Ryan failed handle the situation well. Or maybe Ava was just too much for him to handle. “I think I'm ready right now," he said. “I have a whole lot on my table to do at the moment. I should be out there already."
When the morning was in full swing, the news of Ryan's defeat had reached every nook and cranny of the internet. It was the most searched topic on every blog. Ryan's phone would not stop buzzing. Calls and messages from business associates never stopped coming in. His social media handles were flooded with words that could traumatise a soul. Humans just didn't know when to draw the line and stop. In his home, his father was fuming badly while waiting for him to return. Kristie played the role of a good daughter-in-law. “Please, calm down," Kristie said to the man in a seemingly concerned tone. Mr Blake was tapping his knee cap on a regular rhythm. He was trying desperately to ease off the tension that was on the rise inside him. “Where the hell is your husband?!" He finally growled. Kristie pretended to care. But the truth was that she didn't. As a matter of fact, she was getting things in line to pull the string that would collapse the family's business. “He's probably out ther
When Ryan got back home, his father was in his house. Mr Blake had fire in his eyes. Ryan walked in and was received by the fiery glare from his own father. “Good evening, dad,” he greeted him. The man responded violently. He grabbed the glass cup by his side and sent it to the wall. The sound of
The next morning, Arnold woke up before anyone else. He had specifically instructed the chef not to come in the morning. He went to the kitchen and made breakfast for everyone. When he was done, he woke the children by himself and bathed them. He went on to get them dressed. Ava had taken notice o
Ryan and Adrianna were in the waiting area still waiting for the doctor. The little girl had finished having the snacks Ryan bought for her. “Mister, thank you,” she said to him. Ryan looked at her and smiled warmly. “You are welcome, my dear.” “Have you spoken to my mother?” She asked. Ryan no
Ryan got to the office with a great deal of frustration. His head was spinning. He thought he had it all under control. But unfortunately, he didn't. Ava was really out to get him. Not long after he settled down, he called his secretary in. The lady walked in and greeted him. “What exactly have y
