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
CHAPTER 895. MY LITTLE BELOVED. The Rest of Our LivesThat night, Jhon went to Niko’s house to give him the report he had been waiting for. And Niko was so confident in what he had done that he had Gigi sit next to him so she could hear it firsthand.“They’ve both left the country,” Jhon said with a satisfied expression. “Chantal and Renard.”Gigi looked at him in astonishment, and he elaborated.“Renard escaped from the hospital where he was being treated and crossed the border into Germany. I don’t think he has any intention of coming back. And Chantal took a flight to the United States, so I think her intentions are even clearer.”“Hospital?” she murmured, looking at Niko, and he let out a sigh.“He’s still alive. That’s what matters,” he assured her, then thanked his uncle for keeping an eye on everything.Just a few minutes after Jhon left, Niko walked into the bedroom where Gigi was waiting, sitting on the bed with a mix of anxiety and concern. He smiled at her, sitting beside h
CHAPTER 896. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A Family WeddingThe Lucerne sun shone over the mountains, reflecting its glow on the white silks adorning the tents, creating the perfect setting for a simple yet beautiful wedding. The Keller family had arrived early at the family home to organize everything. In the backyard, they had already set up a small gazebo decorated with white and blue flowers, and everyone was having fun as they helped arrange the tables and chairs.“This is perfect,” Gigi said, looking around while the Keller women helped her into her dress. “I can’t believe we actually put all this together in just a few weeks. I love it.”“You look gorgeous, Gigi,” Mariel said, carefully adjusting her veil. “You look like a princess.”Gigi’s little puppy, now slightly grown, was running around with contagious enthusiasm. She carried a small cushion on her back with the rings carefully tied to it. And Niko was just praying that the little rascal wouldn’t follow her natural instincts and bol
