CHAPTER 887. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A FORTY-EIGHT-HOUR HELLNiko didn’t even let Gigi protest when they talked about taking her back home after the tests. And by “home,” he, of course, meant the apartment where they had lived together until just a few weeks ago. He knew that even though they were both exhausted, the weight of uncertainty was still crushing them.When they arrived, Gigi saw Anja waiting for them in the living room, looking a little anxious. Niko had called to tell her that he had found Gigi, and she was there to reassure the young woman that she had kept her word.“Honey, I swear I didn’t…” Anja tried to explain, and her face, always so serene and maternal, brought a silent tear to Gigi’s eyes.“Don’t worry, I know it wasn’t you and… well… we already had the tests done,” she murmured softly, and Anja quickly noticed the nervousness that hinted at something more.“What’s wrong?” she asked, her eyes shifting rapidly between her son and the young woman.Gigi felt overwhelmed
CHAPTER 888. MY LITTLE BELOVED. ResultsGigi was dreaming. She knew it because only in her dreams could she feel Niko’s closeness like that again. She was in his arms, his face so close to hers, and his lips brushed against hers with a sweetness that made her tremble.Her heart pounded—this heart that had been hidden behind a barrier of fear and doubts for weeks and that only in unconsciousness dared to acknowledge what it truly desired. In her dream, Niko kissed her with an intensity that made her lose herself, as if every second of that kiss was the only truth that mattered in the world.However, when she opened her eyes, seeing the first light of dawn peeking through the curtains, she realized it wasn’t just a dream.Niko was there, in bed with her, kissing her for real. His mouth traced the line of her neck, brushing her skin as if he had never stopped wanting her for even a second.It only took a second for her body to tense, the same second it took for Niko’s mouth to reach hers
CHAPTER 889. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A Man in ParisThe room was filled with a soft, warm light, and Gigi could still feel the echo of the intensity of what had just happened between them. Niko was still holding her, as if he never wanted to let her go. She rested her head on his chest, listening to the beat of his heart, and in that moment, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly."Well then…" Niko said, his voice soft, almost a whisper. "What do you say?"Gigi lifted her head and looked directly into his eyes. She knew that his proposal was driven by the disaster they had just endured, but she also knew that he wanted her—not just because of the baby, but because he truly loved her."Yes, Niko," she answered with a gentle, sincere smile. "Of course, I'll marry you, even though I have no idea how we're going to manage with this baby. I feel like I can’t even take care of myself right now…"The light in Niko’s eyes intensified, and without a second thought, he took off one of his ri
CHAPTER 890. MY LITTLE BELOVED. Honor Among ThievesThat café in Paris was filled with tourists and locals, the usual city bustle serving as background noise while Gigi felt trapped in some kind of parallel reality. Because from Niko’s words, she was beginning to piece together exactly who this man was and why they had come to see him.The information she had just heard was too shocking to process in that moment, especially with everything she was imagining. But Niko’s firm hand squeezing hers under the table reminded her to stay calm.Niko never took his eyes off Moliere, and Gigi could see how he controlled every word, every movement. He had dominated the conversation from the start, and Moliere was clearly nervous, despite trying to maintain a facade of indifference."I don’t think having this conversation with you is good for me…" he muttered through clenched teeth, but Niko only smiled."You’re right, but it would be much worse to have it with the French police… or the Italian… o
CHAPTER 891. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A SHOCKING NEWSThe plane landed in Switzerland at dawn, and despite the exhaustion from the trip, Gigi felt a mix of excitement and nerves that made it impossible for her to stay still. The matter of her origins was settled, and if she was honest, she didn’t care who her biological father was—as long as it wasn’t Niko.On the other hand, he had decided they would throw an engagement party to officially announce their relationship and upcoming wedding. And despite Gigi’s doubts and fears about her mother’s reaction, Niko convinced her that it was time to face everything at once, without secrets or fear.“Trust me, Gigi,” he told her as he hugged her at the airport. “We’re in this together, and we have nothing to hide anymore. There’s no reason to act like we’re guilty of anything, so the sooner we get this over with, the better.”Niko’s promise gave her the peace she needed. Gigi knew that if anyone was going to put an end to Chantal’s manipulations, it
CHAPTER 892. MY LITTLE BELOVED. UNWANTED GUESTS.Meanwhile, perhaps not entirely unaware of her mother’s hatred but certainly more indifferent to it, Gigi was preparing for the engagement party with the help of Anja and all of Niko’s cousins and aunts. The hall had been decorated with elegance, filled with lights and soft-toned flowers that highlighted the sophistication of the event.Gigi’s dress was a masterpiece: golden silk, simple yet elegant. However, as they walked through the shops, that wasn’t what caught her attention the most. A massive baby store in the mall made her change direction, and of course, they walked out with bags full of tiny clothes and toys for the baby.The last thing she imagined was that, across the street, someone’s stomach was twisting in rage as they understood exactly what those purchases meant.“There she is,” Renard murmured from the back seat of a tinted-window car, his voice firm and decided. “All we need to do is wait for the right moment.”He sta
CHAPTER 893. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A Humiliating DemandGigi’s gaze burned as she stared at her mother. The elegantly decorated private lounge had turned into an invisible battlefield, filled with tensions that each handled in their own way. But hearing Chantal demand more than just money and benefits was more than Gigi could endure without exploding.Maybe it was the hormones, or maybe it was the confidence of having that man by her side, supporting her, but she swore she had never defied her mother like this before."You don’t want that mansion for the money!" Gigi said, her voice firm and furious. "You want it to humiliate the Kellers! You’re nothing but a con artist—we already know that! You’ve spent your life deceiving people and taking advantage of others! But this? This is just about avenging your ego because the Kellers didn’t accept you! Do you really think you can take away what rightfully belongs to Niko’s parents?""Well, we’ll see how much your dear in-laws really care about
CHAPTER 894. MY LITTLE BELOVED. ThreatsNiko considered himself a good man, and for the most part, he was. However, he couldn't help but feel a dark satisfaction when he saw the horror and rage in Chantal's eyes."Are you out of your mind?! What do you think? That bringing me to this dump is going to intimidate me?" the woman spat, looking around. They were inside a covered space, but it looked like some kind of abandoned warehouse.However, her arrogance—and that of the man beside her—seemed too great for them to understand what was about to happen."I've been through a lot, you idiot! Too much to believe that a spoiled little rich boy like you would actually get his hands dirty!""You're right about that. I don’t plan to dirty myself with you. Especially since my uncle here has that old-fashioned courtesy of men who say you shouldn't hit a woman," Niko spat back."Precisely for that reason," Jhon cleared his throat, "Dandara, sweetheart, would you take care of it?""Yes, Daddy," sh
