Chapter 1

Whose photo are you staring at? It has been more than 20 minutes, Leto… Leto…? Leto Lucchese! Alex screamed his name as it echoed in the CEO's cabin. The grin on his face got bigger as he lifted his eyes after staring at his fiancée's picture. “A delicate and exquisite being” He spoke in his deep husky voice when Alex chuckled at his statement, “An iceberg interested in a little creature seems fascinating”. Who is she? Never heard of her, nor I've seen her with you… Alex asked while raising his eyebrow, Leto replied in an uninterested tone, “Just some scumbag's granddaughter” Can I look at her picture? Just interested in knowing who has got my poor cold-blooded friend so engrossed. “Not now, Alex” You'll get to know her the day after tomorrow at the wedding. “Oh, come on, man, just-” Leto interrupted, “Are you that idle?” “Do you want more workload, my friend” he said with a wicked smile plastered on his face. No, please, my cruel friend, you can enjoy staring competition with your bride's photo! I'll take a leave, already I'm handling our last night's matter, you shouldn't have killed him mercilessly! Now I've to deal with ordering the guards around for the cleaning of the basement. Leto exasperated, “He deserved it, Alex! Didn't you see him hugging my beloved and asking her out on a date?”. Alex added hastily, “Wait, is she the same person, the girl, and boy whom you were looking at furiously yesterday? At the university gate? When we were coming to company?”. “Oh well yes” Leto replied casually. “I need all the detail brother! Your love story seems enthralling!” Alex added curiously, receiving a death glare from Leto.

At a well-reputed university, one girl was sitting in the library engrossed in reading a book, and that's when her best friend snatched it from her hands. "Celes! Let us go, we are getting late!". "I have no interest in basketball Dave" I replied. "Not this time celes you promised me yesterday that you'd cheer for me!" Gives her a sad smile. "Oh, Dave! You always win by giving this sad smile… Ok then, let's go!"

As Celeste and Dave entered the basketball court, a multitude of whispers were heard emanating from the opposite direction, stating, “Look at that girl, she is consistently hanging out with our senior.” “Come on Celes…” Dave whispers in her ear, grasping her hand. As they both walked inside, the girl's screamed his name. “Dave! Dave! Dave!”… “Hey! You, slender girl, please refrain from engaging with our boy,” a girl yelled as water was splashed on Celeste's face.

“This was the reason Dave, I was not coming for your basketball match” Celeste said to herself as she smiled in pain, shivering badly. “Celes! Are you alright?!” Dave asked her in worry as he wrapped her in his warm jacket. “Dave…” Celeste said in weak tone. “I'll be right back” She ran outside, leaving Dave in trance.
