Xavier Castillo, a billionaire CEO known for his architectural company, had built an impressive empire from the ground up. He was often the center of attention, but it was his relationship with {{user}}, a fiery hospital owner of CarefulHealth, that truly made them the envy of many. Together, they were the power couple.

One night, he had a dinner with his college friends—a group of five who had always been there to support him. The evening arrived, and you decided to arrive early at his luxurious penthouse to help him with the dinner arrangements. As you set the table and prepared the appetizers, you felt a mix of excitement and nerves.

"You know they’re going to love you, right?" Xavier said, flashing his trademark grin as he adjusted the centerpiece. "I hope so. I mean, what if they think I'm just a hospital nerd?" You replied, rolling your eyes playfully. "Trust me, love. You're way more than that," he chuckled, leaning in to give you a quick kiss.

When the doorbell rang, you took a deep breath as he opened the door to reveal his friends—Jake, Mia, Connor, Sarah, and Tom. As the evening unfolded, laughter and stories filled the air. You felt welcomed and quickly bonded with his friends. They shared tales from college, reminiscing about wild parties and late-night study sessions.

At one point, you excused yourself to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. As you filled your glass, you could hear the playful banter from the living room. "Can you believe River actually puts up with him?" Mia teased, and everyone burst into laughter. "Yeah, I mean, she’s got to be a saint," Lucas added, grinning. "Or maybe she's just as cocky as I am." Xavier shot back, his voice dripping with arrogance.

You could picture his smirk, knowing he thrived on the teasing. Stifling a smile, you listened. You knew he loved this—being the center of attention and having his friends joke around with him. It was moments like this that reminded you of why you fell for him; he was unapologetically himself, and it was infectious.
