Chapter 11: Blind Date

Inside the black sedan, Cecilia was seated in the back while Matthias drove, and Jonathan was next to him. She was dressed in a beautiful green minidress, with her thick, curly hair loosely braided. A few strands of her hair were framing her face, making her look more dainty and demure. Matthias helped her get ready for this dinner, from her makeup down to her styling. He made sure that Cecilia could show off her regal beauty. "Matt, are you sure that I don't need to wear a face mask?" "No need, Lia~ Your grandpa sent you an escort. What is there to fear? Are you afraid of the mafia or your aunt?""Well..." She looked out and saw a convoy behind them. Her grandpa made sure she was safe with the security that he hired for her. "In my opinion, you have to trust the security personnel that your grandpa hired. I heard most of them are military reservists. They looked more reliable than I thought.""If you're with them, you don't need to worry about hiding. You can go out and about lik

Chapter 12: Old Lady

His sudden outburst caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant. His arrogance and aggressiveness surprised even Cecilia. "Hey, buddy. Stop it." Charles’ hand that reached out to pull Cecilia's hair was swiftly stopped by a tall man. He towered over Charles, who was already 6 feet tall. He was lean and agile enough to stop Charles from harassing Cecilia. Cecilia turned around only to see the men behind her having a silent standoff. Charles was glaring at the guy, trying to snatch his arm back. "Let go of me!" he hissed. "I can't just let you be. What if you hurt this lady again?""Who cares about that woman? She's so picky for a single mother! Do you think I would still want her?""Hahaha, you think I want you?" Cecilia asked, holding back her laughter. Soon after, Matthias brought along Cecilia's security. "Cecilia, I'm so sorry... I asked Sir Nathan to wait for you outside because you will go on a date and you need privacy...""I didn't know that this jerk would harass

Chapter 13: Most Powerful Woman in the World

Ellen was left dumbfounded by what the naughty kid said. “Unbelievable! Tell Aleck to find that kid and bring her to me.”“I’ll deal with her myself.”Her voice was laced with a chilling threat that seemed to hold weight. She viciously watched the backs of Celeste and her nannies, remembering the humiliation she got from a mere child. “Miss, I think the kid is quite rich. She has a bodyguard. Should we tell Sir Aleck…? I’m afraid we’re going against someone powerful…”"And the people in this neighborhood are also elites... I don't think we should..."Ellen scoffed. “Who is more powerful than Aleck? He is the heir of the Verro Family! No one dares to cross a century-old mafia family, right?”Allyssa reluctantly nodded. “So, what are you waiting for? Tell his men to follow the kid right now!” She screamed as she slumped on the bench. ...Following the incident six years ago, Ellen Miller was embroiled in several scandals.A video of her and the old investor was released to the inter

Chapter 14: Fearless

"I had a great time, thank you for inviting me to join your dinner," Julian thanked the group as they waited for their driver to pick them up. "The pleasure is ours, Julian. Please join us again when our schedules align," Matthias happily invited Julian. "Sure will!" Julian cheerfully responded, then turned to Cecilia. "And I hope you'll be joining us as well, Lia," he added in a familiar tone. Cecilia nodded in agreement. "Of course, Julian. I'll be looking forward to it." Though the night started on a sour note, it sure ended sweetly because of Julian's company. The group certainly liked the F1 driver. Even Cecilia, who was usually aloof, clicked with Julian's personality. He is a good conversationalist but did not cross any boundaries. He is friendly and a natural gentleman. Perhaps that's why Cecilia felt comfortable with him. She even allowed him to call her by her nickname!"I'll text you, Lia," he whispered softly to her, his face breaking into a cheeky smile. "Hahaha, ye

Chapter 15: The Mafia Boss's Wife

"Babe, there's a kid who irritated me earlier. Can you deal with her?" "Oh, and her nannies too!" "She really pissed me off! How can a kid be that annoying?!" Ellen ranted as soon as she got back to her hotel room. She tossed her scarf on the bed as she continued to take off her jacket. Her husband, Aleck, was smoking as he leaned on the balcony. His back was facing Ellen, not paying attention to whatever his wife said. "I want to twist that kid's ears and put her in her place!" "Ugh!" "Hey, babe?" she asked, walking towards her husband. "Are you listening to me?" Aleck briefly glanced at her before tapping the ashes on the ashtray. "You're so loud, woman. Don't you know when to shut up?!" he hissed. Ellen flinched. Things always get ugly when Aleck is in a bad mood. Aleck Verro is a notorious figure in the underworld. He may appear as a stout old man with a receding hairline, but he is so powerful that no one wants to get on his bad side. Beneath his clubs around th

Chapter 16: Monaco

“Miss, one of our investors requested to personally meet you.""..."Cecilia just looked at Jennifer, her secretary, who had just arrived in Switzerland. She came to Cecilia's new laboratory with five senior chemists to help with Cecilia's research. However, she came with bad news—to Cecilia, at least. "Can we schedule a video meeting with him?""No... He insisted on meeting you personally..." Jennifer bit her lip before continuing, "Or else, Mister Alwyn will withdraw his investment...""Go ahead then. I will cover the loss." Cecilia muttered in a detached tone, then continued to review reports from their factories. "Miss... Please reconsider... This partnership is essential for our new factories in the states. If he withdraws, we would have a hard time pushing through with this...""Jennifer, you know that I cannot leave Celeste here. You must have heard about the report a few days ago. There are men following Celeste and her nannies. Do you think I can leave my daughter after th

Chapter 17: Meeting Ellen

"Ellen, you're not supposed to leave my sight this time. Do not go around like you did last time. Monaco is not the place for you to act like a queen."Aleck tightly held Ellen's waist as they walked towards their table in Le Grill, an upscale restaurant in Monte Carlo. The elegant and luxe interior impressed Ellen. It was her first time in this restaurant. She heard from her friends in the modeling industry that it was hard to get a reservation. She has asked Aleck multiple times to go, but he is always busy managing his businesses. And now she's here. "Just be pretty and quiet. That's all you need to do, Ellen.""Yes, baby..." she shyly said, hiding her disdain. Whenever Aleck needs to attend an event, he brings Ellen as his partner. That is the main reason why they got married. He needs a partner who has no connections to his rivals or his family. Ellen's drive and confidence are what made her the perfect wife for him. Ellen held her head high, confident despite the judging gaz

Chapter 18: Race Day

"Ellen, what just happened there?!" Aleck screamed after they got kicked out of the restaurant. Out in the streets of Monte Carlo, Ellen looked disheveled with her hair covering her face. She could not believe that the restaurant would not give them face and just casually tossed them out to the streets. It was extremely humiliating. Especially after so many people have seen their disgraceful faces getting dragged by security. No matter how many times they shouted that they are from the infamous Verro family, the security simply did not care. Whether it was a prince or an ordinary person, they would not tolerate such vulgar actions. For them, offending the Verro family is nothing to worry about. This is what infuriated Aleck the most. If he can use his influence in other parts of Europe, he cannot do so in Monaco. Ellen quickly fixed her hair and her clothes as she stomped her way to the car waiting for them. She said, "It's because of Cecilia! I saw her inside!"Aleck frowned. "Cec

Chapter 19: Friend

Cecilia settled down on a cozy couch that faces the racetrack. There were lots of yachts docked beside them. Julian's yacht was overflowing with gourmet food and champagne. The staff inside were accommodating and hospitable. "Wow! As expected of last year's world champion! Julian Dela Merced is simply impressive." Alwyn slumped on the couch next to Cecilia while holding a champagne flute. He adjusted his seating as he appreciated the views from the yacht.Cecilia smugly smiled, "And you said that I have to be careful with him. Yet, here you are, enjoying the perks of being friends with Julian.""You know, I talked to my friends and said they were eager to meet the mysterious founder and CEO of CE Pharma."Upon hearing his words, Cecilia immediately shook her head. "Not happening.""I know. Why do you think I threatened you just to meet you?""I always wonder why you don't want other people to personally meet you. A lot of people are saying that CE Pharma's CEO is an old balding noble

Chapter 20: Lovesick

Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Celeste was walking her puppy, Leon, at a park near the lake. They had avoided going to the park near their house because of the mysterious people who had been following them before, so they took a quick drive and found this quiet park near the lake. Celeste was dressed in a beautiful floral dress and a yellow cardigan, which highlighted her pinkish chubby cheeks. Her curly brown hair was neatly tied in a low pigtail. She was also carrying a dainty strawberry bag filled with goodies that she likes to eat. She looked like a walking garden with her whole outfit that she chose herself. Leon strutted around the park, his tail bouncing as he guided Celeste. Meanwhile, Celeste's nannies and guards sat at a bench nearby. They let Celeste and Leon be and did not interrupt their peaceful play. "Oh..."Celeste's steps halted as she saw a tall man sitting at a bench at the corner of the park. He was carrying a box of donuts and a cup of coffee. With his long legs cr
