Bianca first met Andrian during the Annual Grand Charity Gala hosted by the Velor family . Back then , the event was very important for all orphanages across the city of Zenith . Bianca could still clearly remember how , as a teenager , she had been selected by her orphanage to directly receive a donation from the heir of the Velor family . That night became the most meaningful night of her life . Young Blanca stood nervously on the grand stage , the bright lights blinding her eyes . When the host called out her name , Bianca stepped forward with racing heart . In front of her stood a teenage boy who appeared vastly different from other boys his age . Andrian Velor . Despite his young age , Andrian radiated a strikingly cold aura . His expression was emotionless , yet his face was exceedingly handsome - like a perfectly carved but lifeless marble statue When their hands touched as Andrian handed her the donation envelope , Bianca felt something powerful stir within her chest . For the first time in her bife , Bianca , who had always felt lonely , experienced a strong desire to be close to someone . She would never forget Andrian's cold gaze , which sparked her curiosity and made her fall instantly in love . After the donation ceremony concluded , Blanca , feeling overwhelmed and nervous , wanted to quickly find the restroom . Accidentally , she ended up lost in the corridors of the large event hall Wandering around in confusion , she eventually opened a door , mistaking it for the restroom . The door opened slowly , revealing a startling scene Inside the room , Andrian - who had appeared perfectly healthy moments before - now sat weakly on a large sofa , his body limp and face pale . Doctors and nurses stood around him with worried expressions . Blanca stood frozen by the door , unintentionally overhearing the doctor's words : " Andrian's bone marrow aplasia is getting worse . We must find a suitable donor quickly , or else … Andrian's life could be in danger . " Young Bianca didn't understand the meaning of that illness , yet an intense wave of worry instantly consumed her . From that night on , the memory of Andrian's pale and weak appearance never left her mind . Upon returning to the orphanage , Bianca secretly researched bone marrow aplasia . As she read about the illness , she cried the entire night , unable to accept that the boy she admired could pass away at any moment . Over the years , Blanca secretly followed Andrian's health updates . Without anyone knowing , she held onto the hope that one day she could meet and help him directly . Eventually , when Bianca had grown older , she heard rumors among hospital staff that Andrian required regular blood transfusions from a matching donor . Bianca immediately gathered her courage and visited Andrian's father at his office . Nervously but determinedly , she offered herself as a blood donor - and as fate would have it , their blood types matched perfectly . From that moment on , Bianca's dreams finally began to come true . She had finally gained a chance to be close to Andrian - the man she had admired from afar for so long Bianca vividly remembered her joy when Andrian started to notice her , speak to her , and eventually rely on her as one of his closest confidantes . Even though Bianca had nearly lost Andrian once because of Serena Vale - the first woman who had ever occupied Andrian's heart - she persevered . Bianca remained loyal , staying faithfully by his side , determined to prove that she alone deserved to stand beside him . Bianca's reverie ended as the car slowly came to a stop . Snapping out of her memories , she glanced again through the window , which now showed the grand gates of the Velor family mansion . Bianca sighed , quickly wiping away the tears she hadn't realized had fallen . She knew deep down that all her efforts would not go to waste , Blanca resolved that no matter how many people doubted or looked down upon her , she would continue standing besida Andrian , no matter what . 1/6 Chapter 4 "As long as I'm alive , " Bianca whispered firmly , " I won't let anyone take Andrian away from me . " Randall and Peter's insults at the restaurant were indeed hurtful , but they only fueled Bianca's determination to stay even closer to Andrian , Bianca knew that by staying at Andrian's side , she could silence the people who had always underestimated her . The car stopped completely in front of the Velor family mansion . Bianca stepped out gracefully and headed towards the mansion's entrance , where she was promptly greeted by Albert , who stood respectfully by the mansion's front door . " Good evening , Miss Bianca , Albert greeted respectfully . " Welcome home . " Bianca nodded briefly , then asked , " Has Andrian returned yet , Albert ? " Albert slightly lowered his head , answering softly yet clearly , " Mr. Andrian hasn't come home yet , Miss . He informed us he would be working late at the office tonight . " Bianca was silent for a moment . She had already suspected Andrian would be working hard to bring his ambitious project to life . This further solidified her resolve to ensure the project would succeed . [ right , " Bianca responded finally . " Let me know as soon as Andrian arrives home . " " Certainly , Miss ." Bianca stepped inside , followed by Derek who walked a few steps behind her . As she approached the grand staircase leading upstairs , Blanca glanced inadvertently towards the window , her gaze falling upon the pavilion at the back garden of the mansion Aliana's residence . Bianca's jaw tightened , her chest filling with irritation she could barely suppress , especially knowing Aliana had returned early from Ravenska . Quickly shifting her gaze , she continued up the stairs to the second floor , Bianca entered her private room , located not far from Andrian's . After closing the door , she turned her attention to Derek , who stood respectfully behind " Derek , arrange meetings with the board members we haven't approached yet , " Blanca commanded firmly , her expression serious . " Schedule them as soon as possible . I won't wait any longer ." " " Understood , Miss ," Derek replied promptly . " Anything else ? " Bianca paused briefly , her eyes becoming cold and calculating . " Gather all the blackmail evidence we've kept ., Bianca said without hesitation . " Prepare all the secret documents related to those board members . We'll use the same methods we employed to subdue Randall Kent , Linda Moore , and Peter Cho Derek nodded, showing no hesitation.- " I get everything ready immediately , Miss . " Bianca smiled thinly , her eyes sharp and piercing . " They will have no choice but to support Andrian . " As Derek left the room , Bianca approached the window , looking outside with a cold gaze . She knew the methods she had chosen weren't entirely right- but she didn't care . Bianca would do anything for Andrian , no matter pho she had to destroy or remove from her path . Her thoughts returned to Aliana , the woman officially married to Andrian , who Bianca saw as her greatest obstacle . Her eyes hardened , her jaw clenching tighter . Softly , she whispered threateningly , " I hope you know your place , Aliana . Don'tever dare to desire more from Andrian " Bianca took a deep breath , her gare growing colder as a chill filled her chest , 2/6 Chapter 47 " Because if you do … " Blanca continued quietly but firmly , " I'll have no choice but to do exactly what I did when eliminating Serena and Alicia . " Bianca's words hung ominously in the air - a dark promise she had made with absolute determination . She would not hesitate if Allana crossed the boundaries she had set . Because , for Bianca , Andrian was everything - and she wouldn't allow anyone to take him away from her . The Next Day - Zavier Family Residence : After the long journey from Ravenska , without stopping at the Velar mansion , Aliana went directly to the Zavier family's residence as planned . The car carrying her stopped in the spacious yard with its meticulously maintained gardens - but for Aliana , the grand house had always felt cold and unfamiliar . As soon as she stepped out of the car , the main door opened Olivia her mother - hurried over , followed by Ethan Zavier standing rigidly at the doorway Olivia's expression was one of rebel mixed with emotion " Allana … " Olivia said softly , fighting back tears . " You really came Alana gave a brief nod as a greeting and stepped inside without hugging or kissing her mother . Olivia could only offer a bitter smile . In the living room , the atmosphere felt awkward . Ethan sat in his favorite leather chair , while Olivia stood anxiously behind the sofa , attempting to ease the tension . " You know , your father even skipped going to the office today after Elena informed us you'd come ," Olivia gently remarked , hoping to evoke warmth from her daughter . But Aliana responded flatly , " I won't stay long " Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly . " You should have gone to Ravenska with Andrian . Not roaming around alone like this . " Allana rolled her eyes , anticipating the direction of this conversation . As expected- " You two haven't even had your honeymoon yet , " Ethan continued teasingly but insistently . " Are you waiting for a more appropriate ' time ! Age waits for no one , Aliana . " Aliana straightened , her expression turning cold . " I'm not here to discuss that . " " Oh ? Then why exactly are you here ? " Ethan asked , clearly ready to argue whatever Aliana said next . " I came to retrieve Alicia's bracelet , " Aliana answered sharply . " The one she wore before she her voice almost choked , " -left " Olivia froze , her face instantly filled with sadness , eyes glistening at Alicia's mention . " Why talk about such trivial things ? " Ethan narrowed his eyes . " Your marriage is what's important now . You need to " I'm here to take that bracelet , Father , " Aliana coldly interrupted . " For me , that's important . More than anything else . " The atmosphere became tense . Olivia intervened softly , her voice trembling slightly . " That bracelet … is with me . I kept it it was Alicia's most cherished possession . " Please , give it to me , " Aliana requested softly , her gaze pleading slightly . Olivia nodded and went to her room , returning shortly with a small velvet - covered box . Sitting down , she handed it carefully with both hands . " When I removed this bracelet , it was still warm on Alicia's wrist , " Olivia's voice cracked emotionally . " I kept it because it was all that was left of her Aliana accepted the box with a trembling heart . Opening it slowly , she saw the silver bracelet engraved with the initials " ALC " inside . Her eyes almost teared up , but she suppressed it. 3/6 Chapter 47 " Thank you , " Aliana said briefly , standing to leave . " You shouldn't go home empty handed " Ethan cleared his throat , stopping Aliana's steps . He took a small package from a nearby table and handed it to hi " This is fertility medicine , Expensive . The doctor says it's the most effective . Take it regularly to his daughter . Aliana stared incredulously at the package in her hand , then coldly glanced at her father. She said nothing , giving him only a chilly look , then walked away , gripping the package tightly . Olivia watched Aliana leave with heartache . Closing her eyes briefly , she approached her husband . " Ethan … perhaps we're pressuring Aliana too much , " she said hoarsely . " She's not obedient like Alicia , who always did as we wished . Please have patience . Don't push her too hard - I don't want to lose another daughter . " Ethan stared blankly ahead , watching Aliana leave . " What matters now isn't our feelings or Aliana's . It's securing an heir to the Velor family ." Ethan sharply regarded his wife . " Zavier Corporation isn't safe yet . As long as Alana bears and delivers a child , our family's safety and the corporation's future will be secured . Andrian won't dare abandon us if Aliana carries his child . " Olivia bit her lip , turning her face away . Deep down , she agreed , though unsure Aliana would comply Olivia feared Ethan's demands would push Aliana even further away . On the journey leaving the Zavier residence , Aliana sat silently , staring straight ahead yet appearing distant . Her fingers tightly grasped Alicia's silver bracelet , as though afraid it might slip away . She seemed calm outwardly , yet inside , the pain she'd held back was suddenly overwhelming . Images of Alicia , her sister's gentle smile , filled Aliana's thoughts . She missed her sister deeply , nearly unable to stop the tears threatening to fall . Beside her , Elena silently watched Allana with concern . Elena know the bracelet's significance , especially after learning its story . She wanted to comfort Aliana but chose to remain silent , Suddenly , Aliana addressed the guard seated in front . Calmly yet firmly , she asked , " Where's Andrian now ? " The guard answered respectfully . " Mr. Andrian is at his office , Miss . " Aliana nodded slowly . She pulled out her phone , repeatedly calling Andrian , but her calls went unanswered , causing mounting frustration . Deciding against calling the office - remembering Bianca's voice from earlier - Aliana turned to the driver decisively . " Take me to Andrian's office now ! Alians arrived at the grand Titan Group building . She walked in with firm , confident steps . Several staff members who recognized her immediately bowed respectfully , politely greeting her , but Allana responded only with a slight nod , not slowing her pace . After taking the executive elevator , Allana quickly reached the top floor , where Andrian's private office was located . Standing at the entrance , Nadia , Andrian's secretary , greeted her with a startled and nervous expression . " Good afternoon , Mrs. Aliana . Is there anything I can assist you with ? " Nadia asked cautiously . " Is Andrian in his office ? " Aliana went straight to the point , no pleasantries . " H - he is , " Nadia replied hesitantly , then added in a low voice , " But Mr. Andrian is currently in a meeting with Mr. Victor and several senior staff . He specifically requested not to be disturbed . " " I don't care , " Aliana replied firmly , without waiting for another word . She walked past Nadia and headed straight for Andrian's office , opening the door 4/6 Chapter 47 without knocking Andrian , who was seated with Victor and the staff , immediately turned toward the door , his expression a mix of shock and irritation . All eyes turned to Aliana , standing at the threshold with a cold , sharp gare . -What the hell is this , Aliana ? " Andrian asked sharply , his voice low and laced with restrained anger . " Don't you know any manners ? You can't just barge into my office like this . " Aliana ignored Andrian's glare . She glanced at the wall clock and replied in a calm yet sarcastic tone , " It's already lunchtime , Andrian . I just want to talk to my husband for a moment , is that not allowed ? " Andriam exhaled in frustration , but Aliana's resolute posture told him there was no point in arguing . He turned to Victor and the staff and dismissed them . " Take a break . We'll continue later " " Yes , Sir " Victor and the others quickly stood and left the room without making eye contact with Aliana . When the door closed , Andrian looked at her with a blank face , but his eyes were sharp and annoyed . " Tell me , what's so important that you had to interrupt my work ? " he asked coldly . Without being invited , Aliana sat in the chair across from his desk , locking eyes with him in a firm , demanding gaze .. "I came to claim what's rightfully mine as the winner of the charity gala auction your family held . I want the painting I purchased to be delivered to me immediately , " she said , direct and to the point . Andrian fell silent for a moment , then sneered , leaning back with arms crossed . His voice dropped into a mocking tone . thought you came all this way to ask about my condition after the attack the other night . Turns out you're just here about somethin Aliana's gaze remained cold and unfazed . " I don't need to ask I can clearly see that you're perfectly fine . There's no point confirming something that's already obvious . " trivial Andrian narrowed his eyes , clenching his jaw in frustration over her indifference . But he eventually decided to push his emotions aside . He didn't want to waste time on something so unproductive . " I can't send the painting as soon as you want , " Andrian finally replied . " Why not ? " Aliana's eyes widened , her expression changing to one of alarm . at do you mean you can't ? I already paid for that painting in full . " " What Andrian , who had previously been indifferent , paused - surprised to see such raw emotion from her . The concern in her voice was unlike anything hed ever seen from Aliana . " It's not about the money ," he said quietly , confused by her unexpected reaction . " There's been a problem with the painting . " Aliana's face turned pale . Panic rose in her chest , her composure faltering . " What kind of problem , Andrian ? What happened to the painting ? " Andrian hesitated again , watching her carefully . The coldness she usually carried was gone . He took a deep breath and spoke with regret " The painting was severely damaged during the attack at the charity gala . We can have it restored , but it will take time . We'll cover the cost of the 5/6 Chapter 47 damages Aliana froze in her seat , staring at Andrian in shock . Her lips moved , but no sound came out . For the first time , she looked truly vulnerable before him , and Andrian didn't know how to respond to her sudden change in demeanor . " How could that painting be damaged ? Who did it ? " she asked with a trembling voice , her fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms . Andnan shook his head slowly , his face weary but composed . " I don't know who did it . The painting was found damaged once everything had settled . The situation that night was chaotic . The lights went out , people panicked - I couldn't see who did what . " " Why didn't you u tell me sooner !
