Chapter 0892

After the tense moments upstairs, Diana and Celeste finally left the bedroom. Talking to Diana had helped Celeste relax a little, though deep down, she knew this was going to be a long night. Her heart told her so—and it never failed her.

As they made their way down the grand staircase toward the main entrance, the doorbell rang. The butler immediately went to open it.

Katherine Ivanoff had arrived.

She carried herself with natural grace. Her face was delicate yet sharp, her features perfectly balanced-high cheekbones, a fine nose, full lips, and large, expressive eyes that shifted between green and gray.

Her body was the kind that turned heads-long legs, graceful curves, and an elegance that demanded attention without effort.

"Good evening, Madam Ivanoff," the butler responded politely, taking her coat with care.
