56 Passion

Adelle followed behind Bella and Dean. Drake whispered, explaining that they booked all the event halls. Although they will only occupy three halls, the remaining would be kept closed so nobody could disturb the event. 'Ah, rich people!' She's stunned and shook her head because it cost thousands of dollars! But they didn't mind it just to make the event peaceful and more secure.

Just when they were about to enter, a commotion happened at the entrance. Drake is the head of the security so he went to control the situation. From his earphones, his subordinate asked him to come. They rarely call for him unless it's something they couldn't handle. Adele wanted nothing to ruin her Bessy's day, so she also went with him. Approaching the place, she could hear a high pitch voice that's quite irritating.

"What do you mean we can't go inside?" Grandma Chen's voice was very loud, and it attracted attention.

"Sorry Ma'am, no invitation, no entry."

"But it's my eldest sister's engagement party, she didn't give us any since we're family." Diara's teary-eyed acting like she was being suppressed.

"I'm her father, naturally I should be here, noh?" Benedict tried to intimidate them, but it's the other way around.

"I'm sorry, but we were instructed not to let anybody enter without it, even Patriarch Zhang and Doctor Sean had invitations. So please leave while I'm being polite."

Adem tried to convince Diara not to come, but in the end, he couldn't resist her puffy eyes. He hated to be treated like this but he couldn't leave her side. He prepared bodyguards just in case, but they're clearly no match with these people.

Switch tried to be civil, even though he was getting annoyed. He knows Bella's situation, he also agreed with her decision if it were him. It may look bad but he shares the same sentiments because, in the past, he was also kicked out of the family because of inheritance issues, that's why he ended up working for Dean. For a long time, the family he recognized was his boss and his comrades.

"No, we will stay here until you let us in. Wait, better call that b****** to come and get us." Grandma said loudly.

Reporters are snapping photos non stop. It looks like past events will resurface tonight. It was known in the social circle what happened to Bella, ruining her reputation. For years, she lived in a low profile, but from her step-sister's engagement party, it seems like there's another story. The news about her was blocked and Charlotte's imprisonment buried the issue.

Drake's appearance didn't lighten the mood, he smirked and came near Benedict. He whispered something in his ears. He widened his eyes and clenched his fist.

"Let's go." Guiding confused Grandma Chen out of the event. Diara and the others had no choice but to follow. Some of her peers saw her, she lost her face today. She will never forget this! Monique stayed silent, she knew it's something that couldn't be discussed in public so she silently followed but didn't mask her displeased face.

The scent of flowers assaulted Bella when they entered the hall. When the doors were closed, she had no idea what was happening outside. Admiring the decorations in every corner of the room overwhelmed her. From the doors and windows to the table and isle, filled with red and white-colored flowers in different sizes but compliments the design. Candles floating in crystal bowls with flower wreaths are placed on some tables, making the place romantic and warm. Some tables have crystal vases with flower arrangements and long candles. Everybody stood while they were slowly approaching the end of the red carpet where Uncle Belden and Dean's parents were waiting.

The couple's outfits complement each other and are pleasing to the eyes. Uncle Belden's proud look can be seen. His niece grew up and became a lovely lady. He hopes his parents could see her soon.

Guests are envious, but some are happy at the same time. Few ladies were crying invisible tears seeing their male Adonis now has a fiancée. Single males can't help but sigh, knowing they had no more chance to pursue Bella. They're blaming themselves for believing the rumors about her, missing the chance to know her.

Adults were not the same, for them, having a good family background is important, it's not a pity since Bella has none but Dean, it's really devastating. Some are still hopeful of their granddaughters and nieces. They secretly plan to convince them not to give up on him. What's important is that he's cured and won't refute women anymore, so they believe there's still a chance to hook him.

What would happen if they find out they're already married? Surely, they'll vomit blood in anger.

After the ceremony, Bella needed help with the red packets they received. It was so heavy, but thank god her mother-in-law prepared a bag which was held by Grandma Chen's most trusted aid Aunty Beth while they were receiving the guests.

Bella met Grandma Dy's and Grandpa Jin's siblings, cousins, business partners, and friends. There were friendly and warm greetings, but also hostility and disgust. It didn't bother her, but she memorized everyone's faces.

"Congratulations cousin, have a toast with me!" Olivia approached Bella when Dean was busy talking with his colleagues. Bella noticed her twitching face. It's a cliche' move, but she didn't want any drama on this special day.

"Thank you." She smiled brightly, Olivia was stiff for a moment, then gave the champagne to her. They toasted and noticed her eager face when her lips touched the glass, confirming her doubts. Her body isn't affected by any drug but to be sure, she pretended to drink but in reality, throwing it in space.

Bella finished the drink and caught Dean's gaze. She winked, and he understood. Grandpa Jin pulled him to the crowd, so Bella continued to chat with some ladies who surrounded her, pushing Olivia away. She's angry but needed to maintain her appearance, anyway, her mission is done. She smirked and sat on a chair to wait for a good show. But unknowingly, she was doomed to wait for nothing.

The parade of luxury cars exited the hotel and everybody went home. The couple's limo drove to Zhang's Villa, proving that they accepted her warmly and treated her like family.

Grandma Dy and Grandpa Jin's family made an appointment. They know that occasions like this are tiring, so even if they're itching to know the story behind their youthful look, they have to wait. Both of them shook their heads because it's tiring to repeat the made-up story. These folks wanted details so they could go to that place too. The couple inwardly laughs because they will never find the place.

Bella and Dean took a shower, but they weren't tired so they chatted for a while walking on the beach inside the space. Her flawless face made Dean breathless and couldn't resist her red lips. His kiss was gentle at first, then it became rough. He stopped reluctantly to stop the fire that was about to burst from his body. Bella knows how hard he tries to control his urges, so she chuckles a bit. She loves this man, his partner, his husband.

Dean blinks for seconds and notices that they're inside the bedroom of one of the floating houses. He could hear the waterfalls from the window behind her. He looks at her with a questioning gaze. She answers with a passionate kiss. He couldn't control anymore but was afraid to offend her until she took his hand and placed it on her chest. He froze and stopped kissing. He wants it, but he needs to know.

Bella sighed, "I love you hubby, I know you want me." She smiled seductively.

She whispered, "I want you too s…" His kiss swallowed her words, and he touched her passionately. She moaned by the sudden kiss igniting the fire in his heart. Deans felt he already flew in heaven. Finally, he could be one with his love, his wife!

Although he's ecstatic, he wanted to do it right so it would be memorable and also doesn't want to hurt her as much as possible. Slowly they undress each other and end up in bed. His burning skin sends electric shocks making her tremble pleasantly, their bodies melting with every movement. Outside, apart from the owls' hoo sounds, loud moans, and panting breaths could be heard in the depths of the night. They didn't stop until the sun rose in space.

Dean looks at his wife's sleeping face, feeling he's the luckiest man in the world. Although their bodies are stronger from the training and space water, she still collapsed in the end. He blamed himself for losing control and did it so many times until she fainted. He's afraid he could have injured her so he couldn't sleep until he confirms it.

Bella woke up after two hours of sleep. The first thing she sees is his worried face. She never knew this cold faced husband of hers is a beast in bed. He didn't stop until she fainted, but she couldn't blame him. After all, she didn't oppose it because she enjoyed it too. Thinking about their hot sessions last night, she couldn't help but blush and hid under the sheets.

Seeing his wife's shy movement, he sighed with relief. He smirked and teased her again. And they started all over again….

Dean's family and Adelle knew the couple was tired, so they didn't call them for breakfast. Everybody went to do their activities after chatting for a while. Trucks of goods were delivered inside the Villa and were bustling with activities.

The underground base's extension on the other end of the villa slowly takes shape. They weren't short of manpower and resources, making the construction fluid and easy. It won't be long, the hospitals and apartments will be built above it.

The couple went out of space at noon and ate lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Zhang. After chatting a bit, Bella went to the warehouse where Adelle was waiting. Dean was driving to the hospital when he received a call. Placed his earphone.

"Boss, I received a report from Arti Country…."
