CHAPTER 170. Ready for the show?Andrea sighed and shook her head. “Not for now. Giselle is meddling in our lives, threatening our family in a way we have to stop,” she explained. “That’s the priority, keeping us safe before thinking about anything else.” Chiara frowned, irritated. “I’m really sorry, Andrea. Giselle isn’t the only one responsible for all this; in the end, it was Noémi and I who brought her to this country, and we shouldn’t have.” She sighed. “But I’m not going to let her manipulate your lives like this, so if you’ll let me, I’m here to help.” Andrea smiled slightly and stepped aside to let her in. “Coffee?” After that, the conversation was brief, and the decisions were final. “Just so you know, I’m doing this for you and only for you,” Chiara murmured, pulling out a card. “Because this is a major surrender of my pride.” She sighed and dialed the number, and as soon as she heard that voice, she had to sit down. “Jhon? It’s Chiara... Yes, I know I said I wouldn
CHAPTER 171. No Threat Without ConsequencesAndrea felt the adrenaline hit as she watched Zack in that restaurant with Giselle. Giselle was dressed far too elegantly, and it didn’t take her even a second to start cozying up to Zack.“That little b—” Andrea growled in frustration. “I swear, I’m gonna rip her hair out!”“Easy, easy… Let’s go.” Chiara pulled her by the hand. “He’s doing his part, so let’s do ours.”Jhon had already located Giselle’s apartment, and they headed straight there. Neither Andrea nor Chiara were surprised when he pulled out a set of lockpicks and had the door open in less than fifteen seconds.“Ouch! I’ll remember that for future reference and never cuff you.” Chiara winked as they entered the apartment. “I’ll stick to plastic ties.”Jhon gave a half-smile, and as they started searching, he leaned into her back, pressing his body against hers.“I thought you returned the card when I gave it to you,” he murmured in her ear.“I did… but I already had one,” Chiar
CHAPTER 172. Talk!Giselle looked at her with a mix of contempt and smiled.“You can’t do anything to me! The moment I get out of here, I’m going straight to the police to report you, and—”“That’s fine by me,” Andrea interrupted. “But since you enjoy ruining other people’s lives so much, how about we do the same to yours?”She pulled out her phone and tossed it to Zack with a wink.“Baby, do me a favor and record this?” she asked, and to Giselle’s horror, she watched as Zack turned on the camera and started filming.“Now, Giselle,” Andrea said to the camera, “tell the world who you really are. Tell them you’re a slutty blackmailer who loves being recorded doing dirty things. You can’t deny it.”“Shut up, you idiot! Let me go! You can’t do this to me. I’m a public figure!”“Oh, I’m not going to do anything to you; I’m just giving you what you like.” Andrea smiled and started to lift her dress.Before revealing anything, she pulled down her underwear in front of the camera and twirled
CHAPTER 173. Tell me you want meZack couldn’t believe it. “Tell me this is really over,” he pleaded, brushing his teeth for the hundredth time. “Now the whiskey!” Andrea urged, and Zack burst out laughing before taking a drink. “Alright, disinfected on the inside. Now off to the bathroom, where I’m going to scrub you thoroughly…”Zack lifted her by the waist and plunged his tongue into Andrea’s mouth in a desperate kiss. “Scrub me, bathe me, exfoliate my thoughts if you want, woman, but stay with me...” Zack murmured, and Andrea wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Their lips met in a sweet kiss, and before Andrea realized it, the shower water was cascading over them. Zack hurriedly undressed her, kissing her neck and the delightful curve of her throat as he finally unleashed the passion that had been consuming them. Under the warm water, their muscles danced to the rhythm of the lust that burned between them.“Tell me you want me,” Andrea whispered, her voice t
CHAPTER 174. Marry meZack writhed in pleasure, looking at her with eyes half-closed with desire, meeting Andrea’s gaze as she watched him like she wanted to devour him.Both of them were more tense than ever, their bodies slick with sweat and their breaths mingling. For the first time since they had met, Andrea was taking the lead, and Zack was enjoying every moment by her side.“I won’t stop until you come, Sweetheart,” he said firmly as he kissed her neck. “I want you so much…” The intensity of his thrusts grew until that perfect climax swept over both of them. They heard themselves screaming, growling, and their mouths devoured each other in an incredible kiss. “Marry me,” Andrea said between gasps, trying to catch her breath, but when she opened her eyes, Zack had definitely stopped breathing. “Are you serious?” he murmured. “For our daughter, I swear. I want to marry you now, tomorrow!” Andrea insisted. “The last time we rushed things, it was a disaster,” Zack reminded her
CHAPTER 175. Deal!The day had finally arrived, and Zack was pacing around the room as if his suit was suffocating him.“This is your fault!” Milo teased. “If you’d let me throw you a bachelor party, you’d be totally relaxed right now.”“Are you crazy? A bachelor party? You wanted my girlfriend to castrate me before we even got married? She nearly washed my mouth out with bleach for kissing Giselle. If I watched strippers, she’d rip my eyes out!” Zack exclaimed. “And where the hell is Loan?!”It was obvious Zack was on the verge of a breakdown, but five minutes later, Loan appeared at the door and told him to sit down.“Everything’s fine. She hasn’t run away; she’s in the car and on her way here,” Loan assured him, and Zack smiled in relief.A few minutes later, Zack was standing at the end of the aisle in the small church, and his heart raced as he saw Andrea walking in, arm in arm with her father. She looked stunning in her white dress, with her hair styled in an elegant updo, flaw
CHAPTER 176. You look, or should I?”“Come on, my love!” he said as he led her to the center of the room for their first dance as husband and wife. “God, I’m so nervous! I hope I live up to it!”The guests watched them with excitement, some amused, others a bit skeptical, unsure if Zack was any good at dancing. The newlyweds walked to the center of the dance floor, where Zack gently wrapped his arms around Andrea and asked:“Are you ready for this?”She nodded with a shy smile, giving him a kiss before they started dancing to the music. Andrea sighed with happiness as she melted into Zack’s embrace. They slowly twirled around the room for several minutes, lost in their own world, until Zack whispered in her ear:“You make me so happy.”Andrea responded with a voice that was slightly unsteady:“And you make me…”The tone of her voice was strange enough that Zack stopped and looked into her eyes.“Sweets, what’s wrong?” he asked, and she shook her head.“Nothing, love. All that spinnin
CHAPTER 177. We’re ready"Do you want to look, or should I?"It seemed simple, but it wasn’t. Those five pregnancy tests felt like seven-headed dragons."How about we look together?" she murmured, and Zack took her hand, offering a comforting squeeze."Sweetheart, no matter what these tests say," he said, his voice warm and steady, "I'll always be happy with you. I love you."He could sense the uncertainty in her eyes as they looked at the pregnancy tests. They hadn’t planned on having another baby so soon, but whatever the result, they’d face it together."Let's look together," she said, her eyes sparkling with anxiety.She knew something important was happening, and whatever it was, she only wanted to share it with him. The silence was so intense that they could feel their hearts beating as one.They picked up the small stick-like tests, and Zack lifted the first one."Two lines," he murmured.Andrea held her breath and looked at another."Two lines..."The third and fourth tests r
