Sweet Candy Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The next morning, the Volkov estate, a venerable and imposing stone edifice, held an unusual atmosphere.

Though Dmitri had forbidden any pomp or ceremony for the bride's arrival, the subordinates and servants sensed the underlying tension.

They knew today the boss would receive his "madam"—a madam rumored to be foolish and intellectually disabled.

Curiosity mingled with a hint of contempt, a touch of hidden pity, in their gazes.

Dmitri Volkov

//Sat in the main living room//

A vast space that felt cold despite being adorned with expensive furniture and classic paintings.

He maintained his usual impassive face, but deep down, an unnamed irritation simmered.

He was accustomed to controlling everything, every life, every destiny.

The hum of a car engine echoed from the grand gate, breaking the silence.

Ivan

//Personally went to greet her//

Just a few minutes later, a small, slender figure stepped inside, like a delicate flower lost in an ancient forest.

Dmitri Volkov

//Looked up//

And in that moment, he froze.

She stood there, in the dim light of the rainy morning, like a ray of sunshine wandering into a dark, gloomy room.

She possessed a sweetness that was breathtaking, like a cotton candy melting under the early sun.

Her skin was flawlessly pale, her large emerald eyes sparkling like precious gems.

Her cherry lips were pursed slightly, parted in innocent bewilderment.

Her long, golden hair, soft as silk, flowed down her back, adorned with a small, light pink bow.

Lily Evans

Lily Evans

//Wore a simple, pure white lace dress//

That made her seem even more fragile, delicate, like an exquisite sculpture.

She was indeed exceptionally beautiful, far beyond his bleakest imaginings.
