Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire

Chapter 160 +25 Banus Chapter 160 The day of the Vintara launch had finally arrived, and I woke up with a rush of nerves and excitement coursing through my veins. After months of meticulous planning, attempted sabotage, high-risk pregnancy, and the family patriarch's heart surgery, it was finally time to show the world what Kensington was truly capable of. The event was divided into two main parts. Today, Saturday, would be the exclusive gathering for family, close friends, the press, and a handpicked selection of influencers.

The day's schedule was packed with immersive experiences designed to highlight every aspect of our new organic line. In the morning, guests would tour the vineyards, learning about our heritage and sustainable methods.

And finally, as dusk settled, the closing party in the mansion's grand ballroom-live music, more tastings, and the formal unveiling of the Vintara line. "Mrs.

flawless execution. The vineyard tours were a hit, with guests clearly impressed by our sustainable techniques. The picnic among the vines created exactly the warm, elegant atmosphere I'd envisioned. And the grape stomp-God, the grape stomp was pure magic. Watching wine critics and influencers laughing like children, barefoot

passion that always drew people in. Joseph gave a few heartfelt statements about tradition and innovation, the kind of quotes I knew the press would eat up. 1/2 By the time the evening gala began in the ballroom, I finally allowed myself to breathe. The place looked stunning-soft golden lights, a decor that blended classic elegance with modern touches, the

"May I have this dance?" he asked, extending his hand with mock allantry. "With this belly?" I laughed, but slipped my hand into his anyway. "Especially with this belly," he said, guiding me toward the center of the room. "You look radiant tonight." We began to dance slowly, Christian leading me carefully among the other couples. It was the kind of moment that felt suspended in time-intimate, perfect, quietly ours amid the public
