Kingsley put the whole train of Gianna’s dress into the car.
He then closed the door and went to the opposite and got into the car.
Marvinonly got into the passenger’s seat after they both got into the car. Osborn then started to drive.
Only then Gianna realized what had happened.
She was bewildered when Kingsley squatted down in front of her. She only just snapped out of it and
she was confused. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going now? Don’t we need to be at the
banquet? We have to entertain the guest, don’t we?”
“No, we just have to be there for the ceremony. Let’s leave the rest to our parents. Since…” Kingsley
looked straight into Gianna’s eyes. His lips looked mesmerizing as he said, “Time is precious.”
Gianna was speechless; it was just a sham marriage.
Gianna couldn’t understand what Kingsley was thinking.
He just kept surprising her.
And she seemed to fall for him more and more without any resistance.
But of course this was still according to her principle.
It was only a sham marriage. If Kingsley wanted to avoid some of the ceremonies, then so be it.
It wasn’t like she liked them either.
The marriage today was quite comical. She was quite surprised at the number of guests.
Come to think about it.
Kingsley probably planned it out beforehand. This wasn’t planned on a whim.
It was quiet in the car.
Soon, the car arrived at Kingsley’s private mansion.
Gianna was quite happy about this. Living with just only Kingsley and not his whole family would
reduce the amount of stress and trouble she would have to face.
But she was puzzled.
Did the electricity go out?
Why was it so dark inside?
Not only that. The car stopped by the entrance.
Marvingot out of the car and politely opened the door for Gianna.
Gianna thought that the car would’ve stopped right by the doorstep of the mansion.
Because her wedding dress was kind of heavy, it was rather tiring to walk around in it.
But she didn’t want to offend Marvin.
She guessed that this was something that Kingsley planned as well.
But whatever he was planning… Since they were in a business relationship, she wouldn’t mind
whatever he did as long as it abode her principle.
She got out of the car.
Marvin squatted down and placed the train of her dress nicely on the ground.
“Thank you,” said Gianna as she smiled.
“It’s my pleasure, madam.”
Gianna felt weird every time she heard someone calling her “madam”.
She was not used to it.
When she got married to Caesar in her past life, everyone called her Mrs. Kennedy.
It was more casual. She felt like being referred to as “madam” was a bit formal and stiff.
But the thing was.
She wasn’t really Kingsley’s wife.
Gianna had a lot on her mind. In the end, she didn’t have the heart to correct Marvin.
She took a deep breath and started walking towards the house.
Kingsley also got off the car and was walking behind her. To her surprise, Kingsley didn’t come over to
help her.
It was dark and she was unfamiliar with the way. She was afraid that she was going to trip.
She walked slowly in the dark.
But she was also a bit annoyed. She thought that Kingsley was rich, why wouldn’t he just turn on the
lights?!
Suddenly, lights underneath her feet lighted up.
She halted in her tracks.
She understood that instant… that this was Kingsley’s surprise for her.
She thought that his surprises would make any woman fall for him.
She held her breath.
She didn’t know if she was looking forward to anything, or if she was… being challenged.
With large strides, she walked towards the mansion.
Lights on the ground lighted up with every step she took.
One after another.
Increasing in numbers.
And then she walked towards the end of the road.
Fireworks started to bloom in the night sky.
They flourished all over the sky.
It was colourful and in the night sky, it looked like a vast sea of colourful stars.
So bright and loud, the whole Kouby City might be able to see it!
Gianna tried to control her heartbeat. She absorbed the scene before her eyes.
Until the gorgeous and colourful fireworks stopped blooming, the vibrant “starry” sky became dark
again.
But only for a second, the mansion glowed up all of a sudden.
As if there was another sun in the sky. It was bright and blinding.
Gianna was really surprised by Kingsley.
She was surprised again and again as he exceeded her expectations again and again.
Her throat throbbed.
She could feel that he was slowly walking closer to her.
She turned around and looked at him.
She said, “I can give you nothing in return.”
She was serious. She didn’t know how to thank him for all he had done today.
Even though it was just a sham wedding, she felt touched by his thorough preparation.
Well.
Since the past life, Caesar had never given her any form of surprise.
She was always only frightened by him. And it was worse every time.
“I will help you with your business in the future,” said Gianna surely.
Kingsley smirked.
He looked slightly disappointed, but only briefly.
He didn’t say anything and grabbed her hand.
Gianna was used to it by now.
He held her hand as they walked into the mansion’s lobby.
The lobby was also decorated extravagantly.
Was Kingsley stupidly rich, or… was he just used to simply spending money?
But…
He didn’t need to do something like this in places where others couldn’t see.
She followed him upstairs.
As they approached the staircase, Kingsley suddenly swept her off the floor.
Gianna was startled.
She subconsciously wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
This tiny yet familiar action from Gianna made Kingsley smile.
He carried her and walked steadily up the stairs.
While walking up the stairs, the train of Gianna’s dress hung behind her. It was beautiful.
Kingsley brought Gianna to a room.
If memory served Gianna right, the room was supposed to be black and white, but it was now covered
in red. Even the walls were red, it was a bit too festive.
Kingsley leaned forward.
He put Gianna gently onto the big red bed.
The mattress was soft.
It was soft that Gianna felt like she could fall asleep immediately after lying down on the bed.
She woke up very early this morning and was busy the whole day. She was extremely exhausted.
Her body relaxed.
But suddenly, she could feel danger lurking around her.
She looked nervously at Kingsley who didn’t leave after putting her down. He was staring at her, staring
at her face. His eyes filled with emotion.
Strong emotions causing Gianna to be unable to tear her gaze away.
Her heart started beating faster again.
Her heartbeat probably exceeded a dangerous rate today multiple times because of Kingsley.
This person was the devil.
Otherwise, how could he be so alluring?
