Chapter 0449

Nina

The warm, golden hue of the vanity lights cast a soft glow over my reflection, emphasizing the gentle waves in my black hair and the understated smoky eye I had managed after three failed attempts. My fingers worked meticulously as I applied the final touch-a deep shade of maroon to my lips.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of my mouth, not out of vanity, but rather a newfound confidence that had been absent in the recent stressful weeks. Enzo and I had poured our hearts into preparing our home for the party, and as I observed my final look, I felt a pride in my own transformation for the evening.

However, as my gaze drifted down, I couldn't help but notice a subtle change. I ran my hands over my belly, noting that it seemed a touch rounder than usual. A crease formed between my brows.

When had that happened? My thoughts raced back to the past month. The hours spent studying, the stress of finals, and the countless sweet treats I had consumed as my chosen method of stress-relief.

"Perhaps it's just the stress," I mused softly, trying to dismiss the bad feelings that were working their way into my mind. "And those cookies I've been snacking on probably didn't help."

Shaking my head, I tried to focus on the more pressing concem of the evening-the

impending arrival of our guests and the mysterious announcement Enzo was so keen on making.

As if summoned by my thoughts, Enzo appeared in the doorway, leaning against the frame with that familiar lopsided grin I had fallen in love with. His brown eyes studied me for a moment, and the warmth in them chased away the fleeting insecurities I had moments before.

"You look... wow, Nina," he whispered, leaving the doorway to stand beside me. His fingers traced my jawline lightly, sending shivers down my spine. "Absolutely stunning."

My cheeks heated up, and I looked away, trying to hide the rosy tint that had taken over my face. "Thank you," I replied, rolling my eyes playfully. "You don't look too shabby yourself."

And he truly didn't. Enzo had opted for a tight-fitting gray shirt, one that complemented his build and added a sense of allure to his usually playful demeanor. His tailored pants fit him perfectly, emphasizing the v-shape of his waistline.
