The moment he stepped into the banquet hall, the room seemed to hold its breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dressed in a sharply tailored black suit, his posture impeccable, he moved under the crystal chandeliers in a way that made every light catch the planes of his face, enhancing the striking beauty and commanding presence he carried effortlessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He approached Khloe\u2019s side, and in an instant, the hall fell silent. Everyone\u2019s attention locked onto the pair, though they only stood at the side of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The glow of the chandeliers seemed to conspire, focusing all brilliance on them. For a few moments, it was impossible to find words that could describe the effortless harmony between the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Hunt, you\u2019ve arrived.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe quickened her steps, closing the small distance, her smile gentle but luminous. Her eyes, framed by the soft warmth of her makeup, seemed capable of melting even the coldest ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick paused, caught off guard, then nodded. \u201cSorry, I\u2019m late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot at all,\u201d she said softly, \u201cyour timing is just right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She slid her arm into his, and a strange, grounding sensation anchored him in place. The MC had just finished a short introduction and invited them to the stage to exchange rings. Leon and Loretta stepped forward ceremoniously, presenting the rings with quiet pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rings were everything Nick had chosen with meticulous care: sleek, elegant, impossibly well-crafted. The diamonds alone were enough to make anyone envy them, but the value was secondary to the symbolism they now held.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Khloe\u2019s finger slipped into the ring, a surge of feeling rolled through her-gratitude, awe, a touch of disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s hand was striking, his fingers long and perfectly shaped. The light sparkled off the diamonds, yet somehow, she found his hand itself even more captivating than the jewelry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou look beautiful tonight, Khloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The words fell low and steady, yet close enough that her heart fluttered uncontrollably. His voice, calm but deeply resonant, carried a gravity that made her breath hitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her cheeks warmed. She lifted her eyes and met his gaze. Usually so cold, those eyes now held a depth, as if countless stars had condensed there, shimmering quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a brief pause, she slid the ring onto his finger. \u201cNick\u2026 I look forward to our future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t reply with words. Instead, he grasped her hand firmly, and in the cascade of applause, he drew her gently into his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s face flushed, though she maintained an air of composure. Nick\u2019s touch was careful, measured-a\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 66\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>gentleman\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta had organized a simplified betrothal, and after the brief exchange, only the elders\u2019 speeches remained. Guests were free to begin dining without unnecessary formalities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe settled at her table with her small team, Nick at her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me introduce them,\u201d she said, \u201cthese are my former subordinates, now my friends and teammates.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She offered a quick introduction, and her team straightened nervously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello, Mr. Hunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello,\u201d Nick replied in a measured voice, shaking hands with each of them in turn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe hadn\u2019t expected him to take the time. She had planned only to introduce them briefly, letting him move on to other duties. Her team was equally unprepared for the encounter, their hands trembling slightly as they shook his.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even Charlotte, who had met him before, found herself caught off guard, her heart skipping in that familiar, chaotic flutter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 86 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 86 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26603\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
