Chapter 246

• That day, Nadine was getting ready to leave home early for a last"minute lightning trip related to some urgent business. It was around five in the morning, and the mansion was in complete silence, with just a few dim lights on in the foyer. She didn't expect to encounter anyone at that hour, but as she crossed the threshold towards the main entrance, her heart skipped a beat when she unexpectedly came face to face with Antón."
• The tycoon had just finished his workout routine, evident by his slightly bronzed skin glistening with sweat. The sleeveless black shirt clung to his torso, revealing every muscle of his strong body, while strands of his jet"black hair, still damp, fell disorderly over his forehead. His imposing presence left her breathless for a brief but intense moment, as if the air had been sucked out of her chest the instant their gazes met."
• Inside, Nadine felt her stomach twist in a way she had never experienced before. The proximity of this man, with his arrogant perfection and devastating beauty, was overwhelming, yet as she had done all her life, she gathered every bit of courage and composure to maintain her unchanging expression, not allowing a hint of vulnerability to show in her eyes.
