Ahh I forgot, when the dela valle sent a formal proposal letter to adele. Cesare has acknowledged his affection with adele and asked her about choosing to accept the engagement and the house and money he bought for her. Adele choose to be engaged with Ezra. Things happened, cesare caught ezra kissing adele's neck in the terrace and punched ezra. Adele accepted the offer of cesare sleeping with her in exhange of the house and money but when adele decided to make the move, cesare felt bad and decided to not cont. with the deed.
Ezra and Adele dated in the carnival, ezra saw some kimora ppl in the party and decided to report them to the police leaving adele alone with Aegir, adele saw cesare losing to a gamble with a local and couldn't stopped herself from helping him get away from the local scammer. He then pulled adele somewhere where they kind of had a date, ezra saw this and Cesare pulled adele away and ezra chased them. They had then went to a boat and ezra couldn't find the two, cesare hugged adele and things happened, they both kissed and left a mark on her neck. Adele realized what happened and pushed herself away from him and cried.
Fast forward from what happened, Clarice (adele's friend from Kimora) saw adele riding in a noble carriage and went to bounaparte to try to talk with adele but she failed, lucrezia saw here outside the gates and took her with her. Engagement party happened, Cesare burned the placed because he was against it and took adele, the dela valle family was angry. The Day After, a news about adele's true identity was in the newspaper and it's spread across the noble. Ezra broke off the engagement, Adele came to him hoping he would changed his mind and apologize and well, there she knew how ezra has a inferiority complex and looked down on her not being a noble and was angry at that fact more than her lying to him about her identity. He basically said, a noble and a kimora wouldn't worked out because of the status and adele realized that ezra only proposed to her because ezra saw how cesare was interested on her. Long story short, ezra is a jerk with an inferiority complex to his older brother and to cesare and saw himself higher than people around him who has of low status even tho they're not commoners. Ezra then abandoned Adele outside the dela valle's gate saying to keep the pocket watch (gave to adele as a proposal) and handkerchief (they exchanged hanky during the date to the carnival) he gave to her to sell it if she were in need of money after cesare will kick her out of the family. (Chapter 125-126)

ezra and adele met at the ball. Days after that they came to a social party where they rode horses (idk what it was) wherein lucrezia and adele talked with each other, lucrezia pushed adele and sprained her ankle. Ezra met her at that state and they quarelled a bit then ezra helped carried her back to where adele and cesare stayed. Cesare saw how they closed they were and were kinda affected about it but he met them outside the gates. Ezra and Cesare don't rlly liked each other. Ezra invited Adele to a book club and Cesare orig. planned on bringing adele to a club he goes to but adele choose to go with ezra. Then at night, Ezra took adele to club where she had an argument with palomina (a noble) about Kimora and it's ppl (place where adele was og) then ezra broken up the two because they were very heated. While Cesare went to another club that Evening and a woman tried to seduced him but to no avail, she failed. Days after, Adele was invited to a Salon where she went alone with Aegir and met Palomina there again where she stated how offended she was about what happened and decided to deal with it with a game where they gamble money. Adele decided about the game and Palomina brought out the card, she tried to trick adele buy slowly gambling a high amount of money and the gamble went to 9 billion (?), Genevieve who became friends with adele sent a letter to cesare because she was scared about what's happening and adele just gambled her pension and all her money. Cesare came hurriedly and throught that adele wa sim grave danger but seeing how adele was safe, he took over with the game and won with the help of adele also cheating with the game and Palomina have to donate 9B to the Kimora which was what Adele wants to bet, she was devastated and wanted to talk with them about the money. Anyways fast forward, Ezra and Adele became close with each other and Cesare tried to kissed adele one time while she was closing her eyes and ezra caught them and adele had no idea what happened but because of that, ezra proposed to her so that she can get away from cesare and his antics. As usual, cesare was mad about everything the proposal and stuff with ezra and adele being close with each other and wanted to break of the engagement but he doesn't want to recognize his own feelings with adele. Ezra gave adele a key to a room where he wants her to go if she wants to escape from cesare. Also Ezra and Adele kissed and cesare saw that and was so mad, he broke all the porcelains in his room. Also, one time, when he was so jealous of the two dancing, he danced with adele so much that her feet was bruised and almost fainted when he stopped the dance and ezra complained. She was then brought to the Ezra's Villa (Della Valle's Villa), where adele was almost killed by a guy lucrezia hired and adele tried to escape from the man but her feet was in pain so she stumbled but luckily Aegir came and stopped the man from choking adele and killed him. Cesare came after the commotion and was very guilty hearing about what happened and saw the bruises from adele's feet. Lucrezia was freed from all the suspicion because she framed Palomina for the attempted murder as she was supposed to be there to talk with adele about the Money she gambled.
