Kenzo entered the VIP room and found Stacey, Kaisley, and Victoria cuddled on the bed as they talked a lot about other things that they should catch up on. Secretary Bryan also entered with lawyers and the girls stopped and looked at him.
"Can we speak to Kaisley for a moment?" Kenzo asked the girls. Stacey and Victoria gently slipped off the bed and went to the guest area.
Caleb quickly helped Kaisley and clicked the button to set up the table bed.
"Well, we are processing everything and," Kenzo said as he stood beside her. "Do whatever you want to do."
"I want them to suffer," Kaisley announced.
A smirk drew across Kenzo's lips. It's what he wanted for her to do. The anger that started burning inside Kaisley was one thing that keeps her alive at the moment. She wanted to kill them. But first, torture was in her mind.
Caleb knew well the pain that Kaisley had been keeping. So, he decided, even without her permission that he'll be there no matter what. He'll protect her and help her with her revenge. The lawyers explained to her what would happen. That will include the press conference. Kaisley's words will be heard just as Kenzo wanted her to do. Without any manipulation, Kenzo will help her have revenge as one of his payments for her loyal service in the Etrama and his friend Caleb.
Kaisley watched as the lawyers and Kenzo left. Caleb stayed but Stacey followed Kenzo. Victoria sat beside her.
"So, what do you want to eat? You have to regain your strength." Victoria said as she caressed her hair.
"V, I want to make them suffer." She told her as tears started rolling down her cheek. Victoria's heart broke as she wiped her tears.
"Yes, my hubby said that you could do that."
Caleb turned back from them. Even though his heart was aching by seeing the love of his life like this, he can't complain about what he feels.
"So, we have to chin up and get healthy. Right?" Victoria cheered her up. Kaisley nodded and held her hand.

Stacey followed Kenzo outside the room. Kenzo faced her waiting for her to speak.
"I want to see Mave." She mumbled. Kenzo looked around. She spoke it too low and no one probably heard them.
"I'm sorry, but I can't," Kenzo told her and tapped her arm. "Mave will see you if he wants."
"For fuck's sake! He left without telling me about himself." She scolded him.
"Stace, I know what you feel." He bent down. "But Mave is doing this to protect you."
Stacey sighed and nodded at him.
"But I can still see him?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes, of course. I'll speak to him. Okay?"
She nodded at him and he patted her head.
"Go back inside. Your safety at this moment is what we are securing."
"Still, I don't understand you or Mave. He could've just told me that but stayed with me."
"You'll understand soon." He said. "I have to go now."
Stacey watched as Kenzo left with three bodyguards and the lawyers. She sighed and went back inside, feeling dead. She crawled on the big bed and lay down while Kaisley and Victoria were discussing what food to eat.
"So, what do you want to eat, Stace?" Victoria asked as she patted her head.
"Nothing." She mumbled.
"I'll order your favorite." Victoria smiled as she took out her phone. "We'll have a food party!"
"V, I want my favorite too," Caleb said.

Kenzo called Maverick the first thing he got into his car. He didn't want to bother him but the woman that he left behind was broken. He knew that Maverick loved her so much that he had to leave her for her safety. But, is the pain worth it? What if there is always danger around Stacey and he wasn't there? Kenzo wanted to tell Maverick but he thinks that he's overstepping his boundary.
"Mave, when are you going to see her?" Kenzo asked.
"Well, lots of eyes are around me now," Maverick said. "I even brushed off my father."
"Mave, she looked hurt."
Maverick sighed from the other line and he could feel his friend's frustration.
"I miss her so much too." He mumbled. "I wish to see her and hug her."
"What's stopping you?" Kenzo asked.
"We can't be together. She's not safe and I don't want her to be like my mom and grandma. I didn't even see my mother's corpse for the last time."
"Alright, just tell me if you need anything. For now, I have to take care of a few things. This is a big matter now." Kenzo said.
"Thank you, bro."
"I bet they miss your cooking too." Kenzo smiled as he remembered how Maverick used to be their chief.
Maverick chuckled.
"I wanted to cook too. But, for now. I have to do my work. Lots of shitty things are going on."
Kenzo knew well what Maverick felt.
"Same here. Bye, Mave. I'll see you."
"Bye, your grace." He chuckled.
"That feels weird but bye." Kenzo hung up and couldn't stop grinning. He called his wife who answered right away. "Baby, I'll be a little late. Will you be okay?"
"I will be okay," Victoria said. "I'll stay with Kaisley in the hospital. Why won't you pick me up?"
"Sure, I will. I love you."
"I love you!"
"Bye now." He waited for Victoria to hang up.
Then, they finally reached the Etrama building to hold a press conference. Secretary Bryan will be the speaker as they released news about the current Acting Chairperson Kaisley Bolton that has been hospitalized after multiple injuries from her husband and mistress. Anything can be manipulated in the media and he wanted them to receive Kaisley's wrath.
It became trending all over the media. Since it's the first time that they release about the acting Chairperson of the Etrama Empire. They knew well that the Duke or was named Prince Philip was too old. Now, everyone is feasting about the possible heir or heiress of the Etrama. The Duke also released a statement that Kaisley Bolton was once his assistant in business and she's like a daughter to him which is the fact.
"Sir, the ratings are all over." Secretary Bryan showed Kenzo the rating and the millions of comments in just an hour.
"That's good," Kenzo smirked. "Make sure that they won't be able to leave the country." He told him.
Secretary Bryan pulled out his phone and answered the call.
"Got it." He hung up and faced Kenzo. "They already surrounded the residence."
"That's great." He grinned as Secretary Bryan extended the tablet and showed him the live thing that is happening to the family.
The husband and mistress are in the same house together with the in-laws and her father. Even the media was live as the police invited them to the police station. They insisted that they didn't know anything but then, the photos of the consistent cheating are all over the news. Kaisley wouldn't gather concrete evidence that could go for nothing. And Kenzo wouldn't release all of it at once. They have to save a few things for court.
Kenzo called Caleb as he answered after a few moments.
"Bro, I would like to speak to Kaisley," Kenzo told him.
"Okay," After a few moments, Kaisley's voice could be heard.
"Kenzo?"
"K," Kenzo grinned. "Have you seen the news?"
"Yes."
"So, satisfied?"
"Not yet." Kaisley chuckled. "Their embarrassment is little too less than the embarrassment that I received from them."
"Okay," he chuckled. "I'll release another tomorrow. How about that?"
"Sure. Surprise me."
"I will." Kenzo hung up and stood from his seat. "I have to pick up my wife. It's already late."
When he reached the hospital, his wife was packing as she spoke to Kaisley about leaving.
"I'll visit tomorrow again," Victoria told Kaisley.
"Sure." Kaisley smiled.
"I'll visit after work," Stacey told her and waved.
Once the couple dropped Stacey off at her house, Victoria requested to drive by the convenience store. They happened to pass by the store where they first bought their meal. Kenzo removed his coat and messed up his hair as he followed her inside. He took two boxes of condoms as he grinned at her to tease her. Then, he paid for the drinks and chips that she took while she held in his arms.
"Are you super tired?" She asked while watching the cashier in the green vest scanning barcodes of the items. He bent down and moved his lips to her ear.
"Not too tired for a bed session." He mumbled. She giggled and squeezed his arm.
"Alright."
The male cashier glanced at them many times and even grinned. He took the paper bag as they went back to their car. He opened the car door for her as usual and gave her the paper bag. He walked around to the driver's seat and drove the car to their house. He glanced at the car following them and he blinked the lights at the back. The car blinked the headlights confirming that it's their bodyguards.
"What's that?" She asked.
"The bodyguard from the Duke."
"Oh, now you got a bodyguard?" She teased as she hopped out of the car.
She opened the gate and waved at him as he parked the car on the main entrance which is the garage. He turned off the car and hopped out. She peeked at the door as the car from the Duke honked. She waved at them and closed the gate.
"So, are you up for tonight's lovemaking?" He grinned at her.
She giggled and nodded at him.
