Chapter 23 - Secret Identity

Duke Philip flipped on the photos of his grandson with his wife. He looked at her full of pride and love. Although the two just met when they got married, Philip knew that they were meant for each other. Jaya Victoria has a good background but not until some scandal came out about the second daughter of the Parson who cheated with the billionaire tycoon. Anyway, no one knows that he found the future King. At this moment, the Old King was childless and there aren't any heirs from him. But still, some people are lined up for the throne. But only one can be crowned.

The old King wanted Philip to bring him home to rule the business and the country, although there are Ministers of the Parliament that are handling stuff. The King was merely an accessory. Duke Philip still held the army and police of the whole Great Greivania. It was given to him since he was back then named as the Crown Prince as the King's eldest brother. But he turned back from the title to work as a Duke.

"Sir," His secretary bowed and extended the silver tray with a black envelope over it. "I have the files of that man who touched Lord Ivan in the street."

Philip picked it as he checked the photos and files. He smirked.

"Find every scandal. Keep following him."

"Yes, sir. And we have some videos from the security of the hotels that they retrieved. The date was printed together with it."

"Good." He flipped the files. Their family had great things when it came to business. The Penthouse Buildings, where people live their luxury life. They have the penthouse building in the Lwazi and a hotel in the City of Marduque. Marduque was one of the cities in Great Greivania where ministers mostly lived.

"They also have another penthouse building near Lwazi City. It's where our Lord Ivan worked and got fired."

"Okay, good work."

"When should we tell him?"

"Soon." He said. "Dig more about Victoria. We need to make sure that that woman wouldn't hurt Ivan."

"Yes, sir."

Kenzo checked out a few documents from the computer and cleaned up his desk. Then, he received a message from Victoria that she's on her way home. He replied to her back. He went to the parking lot to get ready. He put his coat on and gears. Then, his helmet. He checked out from the building and drove home. He kept glancing at his phone connected to his scooter to check about Victoria's location that she shared with him.

It only took thirty minutes for him to reach home. For Victoria, she'll at least reach home more or less an hour because of a little traffic. But the city of Lwazi that was under the control of the royal family of Etrama doesn't have that much traffic and everything is orderly. When he reached home, he quickly removed his gears, changed his shoes to slippers and went directly to the kitchen and took out the ingredients, and put the fish that was sealed on the vacuum plastic zip on the water. He went to their bedroom, hung his pants and dry cleaned it. He also readied the bathtub for his wife and adjust the temperature.

He checked his phone again for her location and she's near and just jammed in traffic. He started preparing fish soup and vegetable salad.

The rice is also good to go. He went outside to greet his wife and opened the gate for her. She looked stressed and tired. She pressed her lips to smile at him. He kissed her lips and they stood there for a while, kissing each other. He hugged him and she shuddered a bit. He pulled out and smiled at him.

"Hmm, let's just go inside."

Victoria watched as her husband helped her remove her shoes and gave her the fluffy home slippers. He took her to the kitchen.

"Sanitize your hands." He said as he took the hand sanitizer and poured an amount into her palm. She rubbed her hands and watched him prepare the foods in front of him. Now, should she tell him or not? In her life, she rarely tells everyone what she felt or what she thought of a few things.

"Love," Victoria called and it might be the first time she called someone like that.

"Yes?" He asked.

"The food looked delicious."

"I made it with love." He grinned. She chuckled and ate the food that her husband made although she didn't feel like eating at all. She finished the bowl of soup fish that he made and a half cup of rice.

She helped his husband with cleaning up and followed him around to check the surroundings and security alarm of the house. Then, finally, a shower together.

Kenzo helped her remove her clothes and she stopped him. They've been married for like a week now. Still, she thought of the man who touched her. Jacob even kissed her cheek from behind and it grossed her out. Her husband exhaled slowly and scooped her face.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Her lips wobbled as she burst into tears. She hugged herself as she thought about it again. She felt dirty at the moment. Why? Why should it be her? Kenzo hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"My love… I'm here."

She calmed herself and stripped in front of him. He didn't say anything and watched her do that. Then, she slid on the bathtub. He removed his boxer shorts and dipped on the bathtub full of water with drops of essential oil. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheeks. She froze from what he did.

"Are you going to tell me now why you act that way?"

"The man in our team, just confessed after he learned that I am not engaged."

"Is that man sitting across your table back in that restaurant?"

She nodded.

Kenzo's jaw tightened.

"What else did he do?"

"He pulled my arm and hugged me from behind and kissed my cheeks…" She sobbed as she wiped her tears. "I feel dirty." Just thinking of that old man who had a wife and children hugged, and caught her by shock made her feel like she's going to vomit.

"File charges toward him."

"There's no CCTV inside my office but he sent me messages…"

"Did you delete it?"

"No." She shook her head.

"Good," He kissed her cheeks and hugged her. "Feel this hug? Feel this kiss? That's mine."

She sniffled and nodded.

"I am your husband and no one shall ever touch you like that."

She turned to him and hugged him tightly as she shoved her face to his chest. He stroked her hair to calm her down and after a few moments, she indeed calmed down. She looked up at him and kissed him. He kissed her back passionately until she turned her full body to him and straddle him.

Kenzo rubbed her beautiful curve. She's petite but she had that beautiful curve. She isn't thin but full of beautiful places. Like her breast. It's not that big but medium and perfect scoop to his hand, and mostly, proportional to her body. She had those wide hips that are good for baby-making too.

"You are my wife," Kenzo mumbled to her.

"Hmm," she nodded at him. He scooped the other breast.

"Do you want to make love right now?"

She nodded at him.

"I won't force you." He kissed her nose and then her lips.

"I will brush my teeth first and let me wear something nice."

"Babe, you don't have to wear anything."

"How about candles?" She pouted at him.

"I'll set that up."

She moved away and let him go. She stayed in the bathtub and watched him brush his teeth with his thick long shaft pointing at the marble sink. She bit her lip thinking that on what it felt inside her. She hasn't had anything inside her. Geez, she's flushing now.

He left the bathroom, and she quickly took her feminine wash and rubbed it between her legs. Then, she washed up quickly, brushed her teeth, and dried her body. The door toward the walk-in closet is just inside the bathroom and she searched for the sexy lingerie that she bought for when she went on shopping.

"Black or red?" She mumbled. The red looked sexier and she put the sexy red panties and then see-through dress on. When she stepped outside, there were already scented candles that were probably lightened by him. The lights are off and the air conditioner is on the max.

She sat on the bed and waited for him. The door opened and he entered naked with two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine.

"Love, how about wine?" He asked.

"Perfect."

He opened it and poured wine on both glasses. He moved closer to her and stared at her chest.

"Why did you have to cover yourself?" He asked.

"There's no thrill." She giggled and they clink their glasses. He kissed her nose. "Love, how many times did you had sex before?"

"Maybe two… I had hooked up from the bar twice and Caleb taught me on what to do."

"Hmm, then, you aren't that expert?" She grinned.
