The grand lobby of Blackwood Group Headquarters fell into complete silence.
Hundreds of employees stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the couple walking through the revolving doors.
The infamous Sebastian Blackwood.
And his mysterious wife.
The sound of their footsteps echoed across the polished marble floor.
"Good morning, Mr. Blackwood."
Employees bowed respectfully as he passed.
For the first time, however, many couldn't help stealing curious glances at the woman beside him.
Elara noticed the whispers almost immediately.
"That's really his wife?"
"I thought the newspapers were exaggerating."
"She looks... different from what I imagined."
"She's beautiful."
"But why would Mr. Blackwood marry someone with no wealthy background?"
Elara instinctively lowered her gaze.
Sebastian
