Chapter 425
Bianca had settled comfortably into Hector's home, tidying the villa until it shone with a welcoming warmth every day. The flowers she had bought were tended to with such care that the backyard had transformed into a vibrant, miniature garden in full bloom. She was profoundly grateful to Hector because it was only in this place that she felt like a person rather than an object to be traded to settle debts. Bianca's thoughts were pure; she simply wanted to look after Hector's world as best she could because he had given her a new lease on life. Living leisurely in a villa like this was something she had never dared to dream of before. On this particular day, Hector was at the office slogging through paperwork when he realized he had left a crucial document at home. He thought about calling Bianca to bring it over but then decided the walk back wasn't far and set off on foot. Strolling by the familiar tree-lined path, Hector's mind wandered back to the sweet night when Natalia had agreed to be with him, a memory that had him practically jumping for joy at the unexpected, good news. But now, as expected, he and Natalia hadn't ended up together. His past concerns were not unfounded; he and Natalia were just not meant to be. Although he found Magnus unbearable, to the point of sometimes wanting to wring his neck, the way Natalia looked at Magnus told Hector he had already lost. Nothing could fake the silent understanding between lovers, and if Natalia found true happiness with Magnus, Hector would swallow his pride, keep his distance, and wish them well. Lost in his thoughts, Hector hardly noticed he had arrived back at the villa. When he first purchased the villa, his only concern was being close to Natalia, all other considerations secondary. The place used to be rather drab. Hpwever, since rescuing the naive Bianca, the once gloomy villa had come to life, looking bright and tidy, and bathed in the shimmering light of spring. Now, the scent of gardenias wafted through the air, taking Hector back to his college days with Natalia—those sweet, shared moments. He pressed his finger to the biometric lock, and with a soft click, the door swung open. Ever since Natalia's close call, she had been obsessed with security, upgrading her home to biometric locks and, without consulting him, doing the same to Hector's. Hector could only chuckle at Natalia's decisive actions—what could he do? As long as it made Natalia happy, changing the locks was nothing; he would've torn down the villa without hesitation if she asked. Stepping inside, Hector was greeted by the sweet aroma and couldn't help but smile. He knew it was the scent of the gardenias Bianca had brought home. Though the girl was petite, she had a zest for life. Silently navigating through the house and finding no sign of Bianca, Hector deduced she must be out. He decided to head upstairs to retrieve the document. Upon reaching his office, he heard the gentle splashing of water from the outdoor pool. Curious, Hector approached the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked out. There was Bianca, swimming with pure joy in the clear water. She hadn't bothered with a swimsuit, probably thinking Hector wouldn't return so soon and had plunged in wearing only her undergarments. Her laughter rang out like a bell, scattering across the pool. The audacity of this girl, swimming like this in his home! The spacious pool, the fluffy clouds above, and Bianca's sweet smile painted a perfect picture of youthful beauty. Hector was momentarily transfixed by the sight of Bianca, her skin glowing, and her figure flawless—curves and all. In her usual modest attire, her physique was well hidden, but now, it was on full display. Stirred by the sight, Hector felt a rush of heat, a primal reaction he fought to suppress with a clearing of his throat. "Ahem, ahem!"

Caught in her joyful play, she was startled by the sound of Hector's cough and looked up to find him, unexpectedly home, witnessing her aquatic frolic. "Oh my God!"
