Chapter 76 - The Honeymoon Continues

Kaisley reached Westeria where her mother-in-law would be too. She had to set up something for her too. She can provoke her in the public. She already thought of the spot. She checked in first as her private plane was waiting. The Duke wanted her to always have a comfortable journey since she's working 24-7 with him. They gave her enough benefits for a lifetime even though she would resign in a few months. 

She wanted to leave this place and go somewhere far away to start anew. Her family thought that she's a fool. But staying with her ex-boyfriend whom she loves dearly, but recently cheated on her was worth it. She learned a lot of things about laws and rights. It still ached her whenever she thought of his unfaithfulness. 

She had a reserved suit in the Golden Palace hotel. She dropped off her bag and although it's late, she went to the castle of the Duke. She met Secretary Bryan who was wearing casual clothes. 

"Is the Duke~~" 

"Yes, he's very early." 

She hasn't gotten a good sleep. But with what she witnessed, she can't fall asleep. She met the Duke in the tea room and he seemed to be speaking with a group of people. Secretary Bryan opened the door. 

"Kaisley," The Duke waved. At first, the Duke treated her like a real employee, mostly a real person and a friend. And told her to do this and that. But she never thought that he was training her. Now that she's an acting Chairperson, he treated her like a granddaughter. 

It's four in the morning and she bowed to the Duke and the family of Marquess in the tea room. 

"We had a lot of talks, dear." The Duke said. "Please meet my acting Chairwoman in the whole company." He told his guests. 

They stood and greeted her. She smiled at them politely and introduced herself. Then, she walked around to sit beside the Duke. 

"Well, since we are here, I'm sorry to bother your little stay in the house." The Duke said apologetically toward her. She shook her head. 

"It's all right, your grace." Kaisley smiled politely. 

"My party is tomorrow and since few nobles are going to visit, I want you to prepare something else for my guest. Lord Astera, I would like you to sign papers first with your family." 

The Marquess was puzzled but he bowed his head as Secretary Bryan distributed the folders. They read it carefully and sign it. Then, the Duke smiled. 

"Thank you, Family of Astera. I will remember this as a growing friendship of our family." 

"It's an honor, your grace." They said at the same time. 

"Alright, let's go to the garden then?" The Duke said. 

It's still dark but the Duke proposed the garden. They went to the garden as Harriet sucked air with wide eyes. 

"It's so beautiful here," Harriet said. 

"Thank you, dear." The Duke said acting like a grandfather to them. 

"Can I take a photo here?" She asked. The Duke chuckled and nodded. 

Harriet became playful as she told her brother to take photos of her using her phone. She posed a bit and then pointed here and there. 

"I apologize for my daughter's playfulness," Hansen said. 

"It's nothing. It's good to see young people visiting me here." He smiled. He looked up at the sky as it started glowing. Soon, the sun will rise.

Victoria felt so sore as she rolled on the bed. Kenzo wasn't beside her. 

"Kenz?" She called. She looked at the clock. Nine in the morning? It's too late. She put her robe on and went to the guest area and heard her husband's voice and someone else's. 

"Thank you for bringing it here, K." 

"I am helping the Duke on the preparations, so I happened to bring it here." She said to him as she bowed and left the room. Kenzo put the briefcase over the table and was surprised to see her. 

"Who was that?" Victoria asked sleepily. 

"That's K," He told her. "Should I call her?" 

"No. She seemed busy." She said, "Why did you bring files on our honeymoon?" She crossed her arms. But she wasn't aware that her chest was showing and her lower part since the robe was a little bit open. 

Kenzo approached her and carried her back to bed. 

"Okay, how dare you seduce me." He threw her on the bed as she screamed. 

He removed his robe and his boxer shorts. She laughed and before she knew it, he's already between her legs. 

Instead of checking the papers, Kenzo went out with his wife to go shopping and to buy gifts for the old man that Kenzo mentioned to her. They looked around the mall and she pointed to the seat that's vibrating for massage. 

"Kenzo, how about that?" 

"You are very practical," Kenzo mumbled. He pulled out his phone and called Secretary Bryan who answered shortly. "Sorry to interrupt. I know you are busy. But, does grandpa have a sofa massager?" 

"No. I~~I never thought of such a thing." 

"Don't tell him but we are buying him one." 

"Yes, sir." 

He grinned and they took a seat first on a separate seat and relaxed. They tried the vibrations while holding hands together. Kenzo watched her grin playfully like she had something in her mind. 

"Oh, you are thinking dirty." He teased her. She giggled and the five minutes was done and they bought the most practical sofa massager and they packed it up and had it delivered to the address that they give. 

They held hands together as they walked around. Unexpectedly, when they entered a shop, a couple was there who was choosing a few things. 

"Uh, let's go to another store." She mumbled. Kenzo nodded and they turned around and walked off the shop. "I'm going to wear the shoes that you bought me for the party tomorrow. But what dress should I wear?" 

"I already set that up." He lifted their hands and twisted them so his arms would lean to her shoulders. 

"Really?" 

"Yes, it'll be delivered later." He kissed her temple as they entered the bookshop. 

She looked around and then she released his hand as she rushed to the other shelves. She sighed as she checked the series. 

"I wish to have my book published like this." She mumbled. "This series is a best seller." 

He took it and checked the publisher. He smiled and patted her head. 

"Why won't you write another?" 

"I wish…" She sighed. "But, writer's block." 

"How about sex…" He whispered. She laughed and pinched his shirt. He bent down and kissed her passionately. 

She bought a few books and comics, then they left the shop as the salespeople thanked them. 

"So, where do we go now?" Kenzo asked. 

"Tea house." She grinned as they looked in their front to see unfortunate people. Victoria rolled her eyes. 

"What are you doing here in Westeria?" Katarina asked. 

"Why? Can't I be here? Do you own Westeria?" Victoria asked back. Jason glared at Kenzo as Kenzo only played it cool. 

"Uh, we are here for our honeymoon," Kenzo said. "If you'll excuse us." 

"Make sure not to show your face to grandma or dad and mom." Katarina threatened. 

"Pfft! It's not like I'll go after them. Suck it up, bitch." Victoria grumbled and Kenzo lifted her from the floor and carried her away before something bad happened. 

He knew that Katarina would initiate a physical attack so he had to take her away before anything else happened. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his lips. 

"Ignore them, okay? Let's not ruin our honeymoon." 

After they stayed in the tea house, they went back to their hotel and made love as she wanted. Kenzo was too surprised by the stamina that his wife was reserving all these days for this vacation. 

She relaxed a bit while Kenzo put his robe on and left the bed. She sat up and waited for him to come back. He did come back with two big boxes in his arms. She crawled at the edge of the bed and waited for him to put it over the bed. 

"What are these?" She asked.

"Our dress for tomorrow." He answered and put the other box beside it. 

"Is that why you took my sizes weeks ago?" 

"Yup." He grinned. "You didn't gain weight right?" 

She pouted at him. He opened the red box and flipped the paper over it. Her eyes widened. 

"It's a long gown?" She asked. 

He lifted it and she gaped. It's an aquamarine color dress with a slit sleeve, low v-line, and a modified A-line skirt. 

"Fit it." He told as she extended it. She's worried that it won't look good on her. She slipped off from the bed and Kenzo helped her put it in. It was perfect for her and to her height. He went to their closet and took her shoes. Then, he put it on her. He brushed his fingers to her messy hair and froze. She's beautiful. And he wondered how she would look in a beautiful wedding gown. 

"It's not good?" She asked. He stepped forward and reached her chin. 

"It's perfect." 

He kissed her lips and then, he took her to the mirror. She gaped and it's the first time that there's a gown that fits her beautifully. 

"Oh, my god…" She mumbled. The dress even complimented her oceanic eyes. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. 

"You are beautiful, my wife." 

She held his hand and smiled at him beautifully.
