Chapter 423 - The Bride

Danica went back to his hotel suite and found his brother lying on the carpet with his feet over the sofa. She dropped her shopping bags and slouches on the other sofa. She sighed and crossed her arms. 

"When are we going to leave this country?" He asked. 

"We can't. We will be killed if we do that." 

"I'm so bored. No one would want to sleep with me." He grumbled. 

"Are you dumb? We are in a country where everyone hates us." Danica snorted at him. 

"Why are we even here?" Griffin sat up and sighed. "I work out every day just to show off." 

"I told you. No one would like you here."

"Same goes with you." Griffin creased his brows. "Why are you still trying to seduce the Duke?" 

"It's fun." She smirked. "Kennedy Charles has no fun at all. Besides, the Duke has more sex appeal than Kennedy." 

"That man is married." 

"I don't care." She smirked. "A man can't resist a beauty like me no matter how in love he is." 

Griffin crawled up from the bed and sighed. 

"You can seduce anyone if you are persistent. But looking at Gian Del Carlo, I think he enjoyed a lot of women before he got married and finally settled for someone best for him." Griffin said dramatically. "Ew." 

Danica rolled her eyes and stood. 

"I'm going to organize my room." 

"They charge us a lot." He said and checked his phone. "I thought living here was free? Damn it!" 

The doorbell rang and one of their men approached the door. They all looked at each other. 

"Did you ask for food?" She asked.

"Nope." 

Then, five police officers entered. They were also armed as a woman approached them. 

"I'm the Duke's secretary. We are here to escort you to the airport." 

"Finally!" Griffin exclaimed as he quickly rushed to his. 

"Pack your things, now." The cranky secretary told Danica. She only rolled her eyes and took her shopping bags and went to her bathroom. "You all have an hour to pack. We will drag you out whether you are done or not." 

Griffin's clothes are all over the place but he took the most important things. 

After two hours, Danica was frowning. They were quite harsh that she didn't get to see Ian one last time. They make sure that they are inside the plane back to where they came from. It was hours of flight and she was already cranky while her brother was already relaxing on the cheap seats. 

"Finally!" Griffin exclaimed. "I am free." 

She wasn't happy at all. It means that she has to marry Kennedy Charles. She shook her head as she gritted her teeth.

Johanna or now known as Hannah Grace. She is currently playing the piano. She's now teaching the kids how to play musical instruments. They catch up fast and that wasn't the thing that the Charles Empire wanted her to do. They were testing her patience but in fact, she didn't have one. She's just waiting for the right time to attack. 

She then played a wedding march and the kids giggled. She glared at Gray who had been admiring her the whole day. It's been weeks since the kiss that he claimed. He wanted more of it and he's been harassing her. He's only waiting for the right time to come. All of her lenses were off and she needed more pairs to continue her research. Although most of the data were already sent to them, she hasn't got her hands on the main thing. 

After playing music with them, she finally walked to her room but then, Gray grabbed her hand and pinned her on the wall just a few rooms away from her bedroom. 

"What?" She frowned at him. 

"Come on, Hannah. I know that you need it." He grinned at her. She already noticed a man from the stockroom watching them. But she ignored and tried to push Gray but he shoved his face to her. He scooped his chin, shoved his mouth to her, and tried to open her mouth. 

Johanna's eyes dilated seeing the man glaring at them. He didn't care even if Johanna saw him. It must be Connor in disguise. She punched Gray's stomach and he groaned in pain and stepped back. She slapped him and wiped her mouth. 

"I am disgusted by you." She went to her room and quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face. She exhaled frustratingly. She came out and she looked at the man standing at the closed door. She wiped her face and sat on her bed. 

"Who was that?" He asked as he put down the vacuum on his hand. He turned it on and as he approached her. 

"Babe, I'm sorry." She sighed. "It was one time but he's insistent." 

Connor was disguised as an old man. He cornered her as she stared at his eyes. 

"You smell good." She said and hugged him. His anger quickly dissipated and he kissed her temple. "How's our little Princess?" She whispered and kissed his lips. He gently pulled away so he could see her face. He kissed her nose and caressed her hair. 

"Our little Princess is having fun with Kal." He mumbled. 

"I want you to know." She hugged him tightly. 

"You don't mind my ugly face?" 

She giggled and shook her head. She took the sleeping eye mask. 

"Your voice is as sexy as your face." 

He unbuttoned his shirt and sighed at the suit that he was wearing inside. 

"Damn it." 

He went to the door and made the vacuum work on its own so it would make a noise. Then, he undressed and removed his mask. He placed it over the vase. 

"You have a condom?" She asked. 

"Hmm, I do." 

She quickly undressed and they started kissing. Connor and Johanna were kissing and touching each other. The couple got it on and they were very passionate and it was a quick one. Johanna wanted more but Connor needed to leave before anyone saw him. She sighed while watching him dressed up. He went to the bathroom and fixed his mask. 

"So short," Johanna said. He approached her, scooped her face. 

"No matter how hard your mission is. Don't fuck that guy or anyone." 

"I won't do that." She sighed and watched him take a few of the things that he entered in the room. "Babe," She called. He stopped and went back to him. They hugged each other and kissed each other hungrily. Then, she fixed his mask. "I love you." 

"I love you more." He whispered and kissed her forehead for a long time. "The stuff you need is under your sink." He whispered. 

"Thank you." 

She watched him leave her room as she lay flat back on the bed. She pouted and thought about Connor and Quinn. She wanted him to visit again for a hot scene but then again, he needed to be safe for their baby. 

"Damn it." She mumbled. She slipped off from the bed and reached for her robe. She walked to the door locked but it was immediately opened by Gray. He smiled and looked at her chest first. 

"So, was that your man? The old guy." He asked. 

"None of your fucking business." She pushed him hard. 

"Why would you fuck an old guy when I am here?" 

She smirked at her. 

"Because old men are more experienced than you." She pushed him hard and slammed the door in front of his nose and she locked it. "Idiot." 

She went to the bathroom and checked the stuff that her husband bought for her. It was a box of foods with the lenses that she needed. 

"That's sweet." She pouted. She doesn't get touched easily with small gestures but Connor is the perfect man for her. She thought for a while. "Why is he bigger than usual?" She is thinking out loud. "Anyway." She grinned as she reminisced about their lovemaking. "I'll marry him when I get back." 

She already had that thought as the wedding march started playing in her head like the last song syndrome. She takes an extravagant bath and prepares for her mission. She dried her hair and dressed up. Then, she finally put on the new contact lens that matches her eyes and camouflage like she doesn't have any. Finally, she went out where Gray was waiting outside patiently. She flipped her hair and ignored him. 

"Fuck off you pervert." She exclaimed when he continued to follow her. 

"Let's have a deal." 

"I am done dealing with you. From now on, I will do everything on my way without your damn help." 

"That hurt my feelings." He said dramatically. "Your punch hurts, but your words strike through my innocent heart." 

She rolled her eyes. 

"You see, Gray. You don't know love. I'm a killing machine and I only love several people who love me. Also, I am going to marry my man all over again and you will be in the corner, drinking ale and sulking. Because you are crazy. You are obsessing over someone who doesn't glance at you. I don't understand anything about these damn people. But anyway, I already think that you got that from the Charles Empire. You are like Wendy Charles." 

"I am far too handsome to be like Wendy Charles."
