“MOM!” Geralt called loudly as he looked around the huge house. Vienne stayed quietly behind him, holding their bag and a few clothes for her and her child. She could not hide the amazement in her eyes. The house was too big and too beautiful. It felt like she would get lost if she walked alone inside. The floor was shining, the walls were decorated with expensive paintings, and everything looked perfect. It was a world far from what she was used to. She and her child were only here because earlier, when she shook her head at Mildred, her mother ended up saying yes to Geralt’s offer. She felt so embarrassed about it, but she knew her mother could be shameless when it came to opportunities like this. And now, everything happened so fast. They had just arrived from a flight, riding Geralt’s private plane. It still felt unreal to her.“Mom!” Geralt called again, then he looked at Zeus. “Call grandma. Grandma!”“Grandma!” Zeus said happily, making Vienne smile despite her nervousness.“Ve

Vienne ran away that night with Zeus in her arms and fear in her chest. There were no words between her and Geralt after he kissed her. For him, it might have meant something clear, something decided. But for her, it only brought confusion and fear. The moment his lips touched hers, her mind stopped working, and her heart began to race in a way she could not control. She had a boyfriend before, but her life had always been simple. She grew up in a quiet province where people did not show affection in bold ways. Even couples who had been together for years rarely kissed. Love, for her, had always been gentle and distant. So that kiss—unexpected, intense, and from her own boss—felt overwhelming. She did not understand why he did it. Maybe she was just someone he could use to forget his past relationship. Maybe she was only there to fill the empty space left by another woman. That thought alone made her chest tighten. So she chose to leave. She packed quickly, took Zeus with

“WE will talk some other time,” that was what Geralt said to Vienne after brushing a kiss on her forehead. “Miss Virgin.” She shyly blinked and kept her head down. “You’ll explain to me, but not now. I’ll just think you tricked me and just wanted to tease me with your being a virgin.” “Hey, no!” she quickly answered and looked up at him. Geralt just smiled at her. “Just kidding. I have an important thing to do. For now, stay here. I’ll see you tomorrow in the office with Zeus,” he gently caressed the child’s cheek and stared at him. “A-Are you not going back inside?” “Do you want me to go inside again?” “Hey, no!” she answered again immediately, making Geralt laugh loudly. But she noticed his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply about something—that he was only faking his laughter. “As much as I want to, I can’t. Next time, baby.” Baby. He kissed her forehead again, then her lips—quick kisses—before glancing at his watch. “I’ll go now,” the man said goodbye. “T-take care.”

Chapter 1Zent was handsome, clean, smooth-skinned, and incredibly talented when it came to acting—qualities that were not much different from other actors. However, what truly set him apart was his overwhelming charisma. That was something others lacked. No matter who he was paired with, regardless of the actress, his own star always shone the brightest.The two actors on the television kissed passionately. Solana found herself staring intently at how Zent’s lips moved against the actress’s, noticing how eager the woman seemed—as if she had not kissed anyone for decades. That was what the director had instructed, after all. Solana almost forgot to breathe as she watched, but suddenly, something caught her attention. She sniffed the air.Burning.That was the moment she tore her eyes away from the television and looked at what she was cooking.“Oh no, the pan!” she screamed when she saw that the ham inside the non-stick frying pan was already burned.It was a good thing the stove hadn

Solana blinked when Zent suddenly dropped himself onto the bed as soon as he entered the room. They had just moved into the big house earlier that day.Señor Lazaro had never looked happier when she and Zent arrived together, riding in the handsome car of her actor husband, whom he liked to call Raptor.That same day they met at Conrad was also the day they found out that Zent was the man who had pulled her inside the hotel. She later learned that he had been under the influence of drugs at that time. Apparently, he had gone to audition for a sexy movie that day, but he did not make it because another male artist, Jaiho, had already been chosen. Jaiho was also Zent’s rival in the shining world of show business. They were always competing against each other.In simple words, she finally got the evidence she needed after telling Señor Lazaro everything that had happened. What she did not know was that Lazaro had also been there that day to secretly watch over his only grandson. He had h
