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
CHAPTER 897. MY LITTLE BELOVED. In the Sweet… Race.The honeymoon was like a dream come true. Gigi and Niko traveled to places she had only seen in pictures—paradise beaches, cities full of history, and peaceful little corners where it felt like the whole world had stopped just for them. They dedicated themselves to enjoying their time together, knowing that the baby's arrival would change their lives completely.However, after several weeks of romance, laughter, and long walks, they returned home in time to prepare for the baby’s arrival. By that point, the little one—or big one, since they still didn’t know the gender—seemed very comfortable in Gigi’s belly, with no rush to come out.“Is it even possible that they don’t want to come out?” Gigi grumbled one day, lying on the couch with an exhausted expression. “I think they've been in there long enough, don’t you? Come on, Niko, we have to do something!”Niko laughed and leaned in to rub her belly.“Maybe they just love the five-star
CHAPTER 898. MY LITTLE BELOVED. FULL-TIMEAfter what felt like an eternity, the sound of a baby’s cry filled the room, and Gigi swore it was now Niko who was about to break her fingers from squeezing them so tightly. Tears welled up in both their eyes as the doctor handed them their baby. The little girl had her eyes closed and was wrapped in a soft white blanket.“It’s a girl…!” Niko whispered, holding the tiniest, most beautiful thing he had ever seen. “It’s a girl, my love! Thank God she looks just like you! Look at this little beauty!”“Hello, beautiful,” Gigi murmured, holding her in her arms with a mix of exhaustion and pure joy.Niko, his expression filled with pure emotion, gently stroked the baby’s tiny head.“Do you have a name yet?” Anja asked, visibly moved.“Queen,” Gigi said with certainty. “Her name will be Queen.”“It’s the perfect name for her,” Anja said warmly, then turned to her son. “Go on, go tell everyone. I’ll stay here with her.”And of course, the two of them
CHAPTER 899. RULE #1. PREFACE.SYNOPSIS From the moment her cousin Dandara brought her fiancé home, Mariel locked herself in a bubble of self-torment because it was impossible for her to like Leon Rosthchild that much. She was a good girl who loved her entire family, adored her cousin—so why was she so unlucky? Why couldn’t she get that man out of her head?Mariel was on the verge of hating herself for having these feelings when an unexpected truth came to light: Dandara and Leon only had a friendly agreement, one that he desperately needed—a wedding, a wife, even if it was all fake.Mariel wasn’t even thinking when she stepped forward and volunteered. After all, she could help too, right?And Leon wasn’t in a position to refuse—he had no other choice. But one thing was certain: he couldn’t lay a finger on that “baby Keller” because she was a delicate porcelain doll, and he… well, he was looking for a fake marriage precisely so he wouldn’t have to stop being a reckless man.So Rule #1
CHAPTER 900. RULE #1. An Impulsive DecisionMariel’s heart felt like it was about to explode. This seemed completely unreal, even for her cousin’s usual craziness. However, the question that was on everyone’s mind was the first one Cameron asked.“Dandara, was this…? This isn’t real?” he demanded. “You weren’t actually going to marry him? Was all of this… some kind of trap or something?”But beside him, Leon cleared his throat and patted him on the shoulder, pulling a small box from his suit and handing it over.“I’d call it more of a ‘strategy,’” he pointed out. “I think you’ve been running away from this lady for way too long, and we couldn’t let that continue. So, my friend—and I say ‘friend’ because I guarantee that from now on, I’m going to be your favorite person—I suggest you take this ring and use the few seconds you have left to get down on one knee and ask this beautiful woman to marry you. Because someone is definitely signing a marriage certificate today, and we’d all pref
