Uncle Estev waved Adriana over, signaling for her to sit beside him.After she sat down, he instructed a servant to bring tea."Uncle Estev, is there something you need?" Adriana asked.Though uneasy, she kept her expression calm and composed."When do you plan to leave the Este family's castle?" Uncle Estev asked directly.Adriana offered a polite smile. "When Francesco no longer needs me, I'll leave.""You and Cesco really are the same type of person," Uncle Estev said with a faint smile. Then his tone deepened slightly. "But you must understand—shared personalities alone are useless."Adriana took a sip of tea. Its bitterness spread from her tongue down into her throat."Uncle Estev, I know what I'm doing, and I know what I want," she said calmly."No, you don't. You've been holding him back this whole time. Cesco is going to inherit the Este family business—he needs the support of a wife's family."His gaze turned cold. "And you… aside from becoming his weakness, you offe

Mars only smiled without saying anything. He didn't fully understand Francesco's thoughts, but he could clearly see his boss's concern for Adriana.By the time they arrived at the casino, it was already deep into the night. Bianca had fallen asleep in the car; Adriana woke her before getting out, but she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open.Francesco came out to meet them and led them to the top floor.Adriana and Bianca were placed in adjacent rooms. After making sure Bianca was asleep, Adriana returned to her own room.Francesco followed her and leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets.Dressed in Mitalian tailoring, he looked relaxed, yet carried his usual cool detachment."Keep an eye on Bianca. Don't let her wander around the casino," he said."Got it," Adriana replied.The casino was soundproofed extremely well; not a trace of the noise from below could be heard."Mars is in the first room by the elevator. If anything comes up, go to him."Aft

"No," Adriana said, then walked right past Francesco and went to call Bianca to breakfast.Two waitresses in dresses stood inside the dining room. When they saw the girls approach, they smiled politely and asked, "What would you two ladies like to eat?""I'll have a sandwich," Bianca said.After a moment's thought, Adriana asked, "Do you have something warm and soupy, with noodles?"She probably hadn't slept well last night. Her stomach felt uneasy, and she wanted something warm and easy to digest."Please wait a moment."The waitress lifted the walkie-talkie clipped to her ear. "One sandwich and one bowl of comforting soup with noodles."More than ten minutes later, breakfast was served, along with milk and freshly squeezed orange juice.Bianca took a huge bite of her sandwich. "This place is way better. At home, Mother decides everything we eat."Adriana nodded in complete agreement. At Este family's castle, only the masters of the house had the right to order food. She was

"Attracting attention?"Adriana found Francesco completely unreasonable. She hadn't exchanged a single word with those gamblers after entering the room, so how exactly was she "attracting attention"?Annoyance swelled in her chest, leaving her in no mood to explain herself calmly."You have Suzie. Why can't I go find others?"With a soft ding, the elevator doors slid open. Adriana shoved past Francesco, who stood in front of her, and walked out first.Francesco followed closely behind. He grabbed her wrist in one swift motion. His grip wasn't painful, but it was firm enough that she couldn't break free easily."I already said this—once we divorce, you can be with whoever you want. But before that, fulfill your responsibilities as my wife."Adriana turned and smiled at him, though the smile carried a chill."Not only am I refusing to divorce, I'm also going to fool around with all kinds of men."Didn't you say marrying me was your revenge against me? Fine. Consider this my reve

Francesco turned his head to look at Adriana, his blue eyes clear and unreadable."What are you apologizing for?""You kindly dragged me out of the casino, but I acted ungrateful." Adriana mumbled the words vaguely under her breath.Francesco's reply was brief and indifferent."Oh."Adriana turned her head to the side and secretly rolled her eyes.If she'd known he was going to act this arrogant, she wouldn't have apologized at all. Judging from his attitude, he clearly didn't care anyway."Don't roll your eyes at me." His voice wasn't loud, but every word came through distinctly. "If you're apologizing, at least act sincere."Adriana stepped back, then moved directly in front of him. Rising onto her tiptoes, she stared straight into his eyes."Can you see through walls or something?"Francesco lifted a hand and rested it on her shoulder, pressing down lightly—not hard, but enough to force her back onto her heels."I can't see through walls, but I know exactly what kind of p
