Chapter 43

• Ellis entered the luxurious bathroom of the suite, her mind filled with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The warm, golden glow of the candles danced around the room, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere. She looked at the elegant marble bathtub, already filled with steaming water, waiting to envelop her in its comforting embrace.
• As Ellis undressed, she couldn't help but reflect on the unusual circumstances that had brought her there. The arrangement to marry Vittorio Amorielle had arisen out of necessity, a desperate attempt to pay off her brother's half-million-dollar debt. The contract she had signed with Vittorio bound them in matrimony, but now she found herself navigating uncharted territory.
• As she stepped into the bathtub, the hot water embraced her tired body, relieving the tension that had accumulated throughout the day. Ellis let out a long sigh, her thoughts turning to the dinner with Vittorio's family.
