Jenna's parents firmly stated their disapproval of Caspian as their daughter's boyfriend, causing his senses to heighten. Losing to Magnus, someone he greatly admired and was determined to surpass, made his heart sink.Jenna's siblings made their disagreement with their parents' decision clear, causing a suffocating silence in the room. Caspian felt weighed down by their disapproval.Richardson, Jenna's father, let out a frustrated sigh and asked again, "What exactly is it that you want to tell us?"Steadfast, Caspian took a deep breath. He had to disclose his true identity to have any hope of convincing them."I understand your concerns about my qualifications," he began, looking each family member in the eye. "But I assure you, I am the CEO of Nebulon."Caspian spoke with a mix of sincerity and determination evident in his eyes. He reached out for his phone and quickly dialed Emily's number, the manager at Synergie Hotel. But as luck would have it, the call failed to connect.Caspia
Caspian couldn't rid himself of doubts and concerns as he stepped into the luxurious bedroom. The strong scent of lavender caught his attention. Unsure of why Jenna had brought him here, he nervously glanced in her direction.The room was a deluxe sanctuary, with its expansive design and extravagant furnishings. Caspian couldn't help but notice the king-sized canopy bed, elegantly dressed in luxurious fabrics, as well as the custom-designed furniture and intricate wall moldings that enhanced the feeling of timeless elegance. Every surface was adorned with plush velvet and silk, reflecting the soft glow of the crystal chandeliers above.Caspian couldn't help but ask, his heart racing, "Is this your bedroom?"Jenna shrugged nonchalantly, "No, it's just one of the empty bedrooms in this mansion. You can sleep here tonight."Relief washed over Caspian as he realized he wouldn't have to find his way home in the dark. "Thank you, Miss Jenna," he said warmly, smiling at her with genuine appr
At sunrise, classy car sped along the bustling city highway, taking Jenna, her family except her parents, and Caspian to the convention center's much awaited beauty pageant. Melinda, seated in the back, broke the silence by questioning Caspian, "I thought you had an Aston Martin when you picked me up that day from the roadside. Why didn't you bring it?"Caspian let out a chuckle and replied in one breath, "Uh-oh, Melinda...you're calling me out. I don't use that car anymore. My new car is parked somewhere else."Melinda raised an eyebrow in curiosity and asked, "And why is that?"Caspian simply stated, "Just felt like it.""Jenna also felt like that today. She didn't allow Benjamin to drive," Melinda uttered.Jenna, focused on driving, remained silent but let out a smug smile. Caspian noticed her expression and his eyes fluttering in confusion, but before he could say anything, Melinda said again."Jenna, you have all the tools to win this pageant. We'll support you all the way," she
Jenna and Kevin locked eyes, and the tension between them was palpable. She was left puzzled when Kevin walked away instead of joining the celebration."Mr. Kevin..." Jenna called out to his retreating figure. He turned back with his bodyguards, nodding in disgust, and then disappeared into the crowd."You truly deserve this, Miss Jenna," Caspian stated firmly, admiration gleaming in his eyes as he handed her the crown.Jenna's lips formed a small smile as she stood proudly next to Caspian, crowned for a photo op. Surrounded by adoration and praise, Jenna basked in the cheers and applause of the audience. But amidst all the celebrations, Sylvie couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and anger. Watching Caspian and Jenna, she furrowed her brows, suspecting a deeper connection between them.Sylvie's feelings went unnoticed by Caspian, oblivious to her emotions. He was a free-spirited individual who found Jenna intriguing and was determined to win her heart.As the beauty pageant cam
Caspian closed the distance between them, gently cupping her face and lifting her head to meet his gaze. "Darling, please kiss me," he whispered softly."It's gonna be our last kiss, I think!" Caspian thought to himself.Caspian's strong arm encircled Sylvie's slender waist as their lips met. As they leaned into each other, his hand softly cradled her head.Sylvie tightly embraced back, her heart weighed down by grief. To onlookers, it seemed like a simple expression of love between two people. The moment became more intense due to the whispers among them."It's Caspian Steele and Sylvie, daughter of Austin Miles," some murmured in shock."Perhaps she is his wife," others speculated."No, impossible. The CEO of Nebulon couldn't just marry like that," arguments flew back and forth.Among the voices, one deep baritone stood out, demanding answers. "Prove your claims. Ask him yourself if he is married," the man commanded softly.Sylvie's fragile heart broke when she looked into Caspian's
Caspian tried to decipher Jenna's motivations for her drastic actions, causing his mind to race. Confused, he furrowed his brows and took deep gasps, consumed by anger and betrayal.Jovan, noticing Caspian's perturbed state, asked with concern, "Is everything alright, Caspian?" Caspian shook his head deeply, trying to hide the storm inside him before responding, "Yes, everything is fine. Just caught off guard." Hoping to steer clear of discussing Jenna's betrayal, he forced a nonchalant smile and promptly redirected the conversation. However, beneath the surface, he was boiling with anger over Magnus for embarrassing in front of Jenna's parents. Letting Kevin and Magnus off the hook would only reveal weakness in his power. "Well then, it will be quite a surprise for you," Jovan remarked dryly. "Indeed," Caspian replied coldly, his mind already planning revenge against those who had wronged him. "Let us focus on that for now." Changing the topic again, Jovan nervously asked, "An
"Bam!"Kevin, skeptical and narrow-eyed, began to question the legitimacy of Caspian's supposed $30 million win from a mere $5000 bet. Caspian's features showed deep concern as he swiftly confronted Kevin's doubt, a trace of fear evident in his eyes."Are you saying that my win is impossible?" he demanded sharply.Unconvinced, Kevin refused to back down and held firm in his belief that Caspian would resort to deception for the money. It gave him a chill."Listen, man. I saw it clearly - no excuses. I can't give you the money," he stated firmly, hoping to deter Caspian's desperate attempts.Caspian stayed strong and unaffected by Kevin's words, confidently clearing his throat and giving commands, "Mr. Kevin, provide the money now."Turning to face Kevin with an expression that revealed his lack of concern, Caspian simply declared, "I don't give a damn."With a determined look, Kevin directed one of his henchmen to go get the casino manager. Without hesitation, the henchman scurried awa
Kevin's face twisted in annoyance as he replied, "Oh okay, I'll definitely pay."As if their altercation had summoned him, the owner of the casino approached with purposeful steps. He was perplexed as he scanned everywhere, trying to figure out what had caused such a commotion in his establishment."Hello, I'm Rex Reynolds, the owner of this casino. What is going on?" He tried to calm the tension between Kevin and Caspian, studying their faces for any hint of resolution.However, Kevin's insincere smile and Caspian's firm stance indicated otherwise. The tension simmered quietly, ready to burst forth."Don't worry sir. We've already resolved it," Kevin insisted through gritted teeth."Resolved what? Please tell me," Caspian interjected, not willing to let Kevin get away with whatever scheme he had in mind.Little did Caspian know, Kevin planned to get revenge for the humiliation he suffered. With a mysterious glint in his eye, Kevin lunged towards Caspian. Caspian stayed calm and refu
