68 Monte Carlo

As Lia meticulously folded her clothes and placed them in her suitcase, she couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about the upcoming trip to Monte Carlo. The idea of packing for such an extravagant destination felt surreal, and she wondered what kind of events awaited them. Damon, on the other hand, strolled into the room with a casual swagger, tossing a few items into his own suitcase. "Ready for the grand tour of Monte Carlo?" he asked, a playful glint in his eyes. Lia smirked, "As ready as I'll ever be. But let's get one thing straight – no over-the-top, paparazzi-worthy outfits for every occasion. I'd like to enjoy this honeymoon, not turn it into a fashion runway." Damon chuckled, "You have my word, Mrs. Cortez. Stylishly low-key, just as promised." As they continued packing, the atmosphere in the room became a blend of anticipation and humor. Lia couldn't help but feel grateful for the playful banter that had become a constant in her interactions
