Chapter 583: It’s All Fate

As soon as they walked in, Bianca grabbed Dave’s tie and pulled him toward the bedroom. Her eyes were bright with desire.

“How much did you drink?” Dave asked. He looked a little annoyed but didn’t say more. He simply picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Bianca rested against his chest, her face slightly red.

“I didn’t drink much. I’m just happy.”

She looked up and gently kissed his neck, her lips soft and full of affection.

Dave stopped and looked down at her. “You think a kiss is enough to make it up to me?”

Bianca’s cheeks turned red. “Don’t worry… there’s more,” she whispered softly.

Dave gently laid her on the bed. His eyes were curious. “Why are you so happy?”

Bianca sat up, slowly took off his clothes, and wrapped her arms around his neck. “You already know,” she said playfully.

Dave’s lips curved into a small smile. Before he could say anything, Bianca pressed her lips softly against his.

Bianca kissed him deeply. When they finally pulled apart, both of them were breathing hard. They looked at each other lovingly.

Dave leaned in again, and Bianca’s feelings grew stronger. Everything they had held back came rushing out like a storm.

After it was over, Bianca rested in Dave’s arms. She traced slow circles on his stomach with her fingers.

Dave held her hand and said seriously, “I’ll make you happy.”

“Just saying it?” Bianca teased softly. “Aren’t you going to prove it?”

Bianca smiled playfully. Dave responded with even more passion. She soon lost track of time until she finally collapsed against his chest.

“Do you have any thoughts about the wedding?” she asked softly.

“I think we should plan it ourselves,” Dave said. “Make it really special.”

“I agree,” Bianca said. “Letting a company handle it feels too cold. After everything we’ve been through to be together… I want the wedding to show our story. Especially how we first met.”

Dave laughed and gently pinched her cheek. “Good thing I found you first. Otherwise, you might’ve ended up with someone else.”

Bianca’s eyes shone softly. “People who are meant to be will always find each other. It’s all fate.”

Dave kissed her forehead.

They kept talking about their wedding plans, wrapped up in their own world, until they slowly fell asleep together.

Dave woke up early, made breakfast, and left the house.

When Bianca woke up, she saw a note from him on the table.

“I really enjoyed last night. Let’s make that our new reward.”

Thinking about last night, Bianca’s face turned red. She muttered, “Keep dreaming.”

Just then, her phone rang. It was her mom, Madison.

“Bianca, honey, Blake called to cancel the engagement. Now that nothing’s in the way, when are you and Dave getting married?”

“Mom, there’s no rush.”

Madison sounded even more anxious. “Of course there is! I’ve been worrying for months. Now that everything’s settled, you and Dave need to move fast before anything else comes up.”

“Mom, don’t stress. We talked about the wedding last night. Once we pick a date, you’ll be the first to know.” It was the only way Bianca could calm her down.

“Good! Sounds like you two are moving in the right direction. And if you need anything, advice, ideas, whatever, just tell me. I’ve been through this. And listen, sweetheart, your wedding has to be perfect.”

Bianca hung up and let out a long sigh. Finally, that call was over. She wondered if this was really her wedding or her mom’s. It felt like her mom cared more about it than she did. Still, deep down, she felt a little happy.

Her phone buzzed. It was a notification about Blake. She hesitated, then opened Twitter.

Blake’s return was everywhere. He was already trending at number seven.

Fans had been heartbroken when he retired because of his injury. But now, he was back and looking even better.

“OMG, Blake’s back! He’s finally returning to the game!”

“Blake! I’ll love you forever, no matter what!”

“My prince is back! No one can stop him now!”

Comments like these kept flooding in. Blake’s popularity was only growing. People even started comparing him to Reese.

“Universal Pictures should cast Blake in their new movie. He’s perfect for it!”

“Totally! He’s got the charm of a real star.”

“If Blake hadn’t gotten injured and retired, Reese wouldn’t be famous now.”

While everyone kept talking about him, Blake suddenly went live online. Ninety million people joined the livestream. Bianca was one of them.

Blake looked great on screen. He wore a white suit and stylish shoes, like a prince from a fairy tale.

“Hello, everyone. My dear fans,” Blake said with a smile. “I’m Blake Lawson…”

As he spoke, people kept sending him virtual gifts. Soon, the number of viewers passed one hundred million.

“Thank you all for the love and support. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. Some of you might wonder why I’m not returning to music right now. But there are things I need to handle first. Don’t worry… maybe I’ll be back on stage someday.”

Blake looked straight at the camera, looking serious. “For now, my focus is on carrying on my dad’s legacy and making sure the Lawson Group grows.”

At the same time, the news about Blake being Brady’s son spread everywhere, like it had been planned.

The live chat blew up with comments.

“Wow! Blake’s leaving music to take over the Lawson Group? I can’t believe it!”

“Wait… Blake’s Brady’s son? He’s really the next boss? What a twist!”

“No matter what, Blake, we’ll always love you! Even if you’re not making music anymore!”

The news spread fast, shaking all of Edenfield. It was now official. Blake was the new head of the Lawson Group, following his father’s will. People all over the city started talking. After all, everyone knew Blake as a singer, not a businessman.

Even the people working inside the Lawson Group were shocked. No one had known Brady had a son.

Just when things seemed confusing enough, Stanton, the second-in-command at Lawson Group, publicly supported Blake taking over the company. He said it was all settled and approved by the top management.

Bianca couldn’t believe how much attention Blake’s return was getting. As soon as she parked at the company, she ran into Diana.

“Bianca, did you see the live stream?”

“Are you talking about Blake?” Bianca asked as she swiped her card, walked inside, and headed toward her office.

“Of course! The Lawson Group just announced that Blake is now their president. I can’t believe the celebrity you mentored is actually Brady’s illegitimate son,” Diana said, glancing around before closing the door behind her.

“It’s a shame, though. Blake was so popular. He could’ve easily beaten Reese.”
