Chapter 89 - Sick Stalker

It's too peaceful not to have anyone around the house but her. However, Victoria will go out again as her husband requested. Without Mave around, it'll be hard for her to cook delicious foods for her husband and for others who are working in the office. She wanted to cook for them badly but she's a little bit anxious that she'll mess up. Now, she's preparing seven smoothies. Kenzo messaged their favorites and he also informed that Kaisley will be in the news. 

She turned on the television as she listened to the conference in the hotel. She watched as Kaisley stepped into the conference room and spoke to the media on what she felt toward the abuse for almost two years. But she endured it and worked as hard as she could to earn and become powerful so that they wouldn't be able to hurt her. She was tearing in front of the reporters although there were lots of questions. 

"Then why didn't you report them?" One of the reporters asked. "Aren't you married to that family to gain wealth?" 

"I work and have money for myself. My father was the one who forced me to marry him. Or else, he threatened me to disown him. And I think that it'll be just light. I can manage to get ignored but," She sniffled. "But I wasn't that ignored." She chuckled. "I was raped every time my husband wanted to. They knew that I was weak and said that I was an illegitimate child. And maybe I was, but can we blame those illegitimate children? They don't know why they were even born and it's not their fault to have a life. Don't we?" She asked the reporter directly. "We were mostly treated as something out of the family. It's hard for us, but it wasn't the reason for others to hurt people like us." 

The reporter seemed to be surprised by her backfire. 

"I wasn't married to their family to gain wealth. And if I did, I wouldn't work. I was married as a token. I was treated like a thing." She wiped her tears. "And now, I lost everything. I will fight." 

"But how are you the Acting Chairman of the Etrama Empire Company?" One of the female reporters asked. "Are you perhaps the Duke's mistress?"

"Well, I was a little assistant. I do this and do that. I work for a living. And I was too surprised that the Duke would grant me such a big position. I didn't earn this position using my naked body. I earned this position because the Duke trusts me with my professional skills. And I am not anyone's mistress." She answered. 

Victoria's heart ached from the harsh questions toward her. They might be the paid reporters digging something dirty toward her. She 

"And I am not the heiress of the Etrama Empire. I am simply serving them as the loyal servant that I am." 

"She's so strong," Victoria said as she put the smoothies on the fridge. "Well, Kaisley. You did well." She smiled as she went upstairs with her phone. "I'm a little horny." She mumbled as she called her husband. Her husband answered after a few rings. "Hubby, I'm horny. I'm gonna masturbate a bit." 

Kenzo coughed from the other line. She giggled. 

"Yes, just do it. Uhm~~I'll speak to you later. And send me pictures." 

"Yay!" She said to tease him more. "Can we do it again tonight, sexy hubby?" 

"Yes, of course, my love. Anything for you." 

"Okay, I'm gonna go to a hot bath." She said sexily. 

"Yes, enjoy." 

She reached for her toys, filled up the bathtub, and undressed. 

Just when she's done bathing, her doorbell kept on ringing. So, she put her underwear and her thick long robe on. She put her slippers on and checked the monitor. 

"Who is it?" She asked as she checked the person outside. 

"Delivery for Miss Victoria Estrama." 

"I didn't order anything." She said and she somehow noticed the voice. It's quite familiar. 

"It's from your husband. Kenzo Estrama." 

She thought deeply about who the man was. She looked at the flowers. Maybe it's indeed from Kenzo. She opened the gate and looked at the flowers and the person who was wearing a helmet. 

"I need identification for this first, ma'am." 

"Oh, what?" She creased her brows. The man didn't speak after that. "Wait here." She turned back and walked. Suddenly, she felt chills and she heard footsteps. When she turned around, the man dropped the flowers and he was already inside her driveway. "Stay there." She told him. But he didn't and he locked the gate. The man removed his helmet. Her eyes dilated seeing Jacob with a smug face. 

"I can't wait longer to touch you, Victoria. You are driving me crazy." 

She rushed toward the door of her house but before she reached the door she was dragged as her mouth was covered. She resisted and pushed and punched him but she got punched first on her stomach. 

"Following you all day was tiring." He sighed.

Her whole body was shaking, tears started rolling in her eyes and she screamed. But she was slapped hard by a thick hand to her face to shut her. She has to think of other defenses but before she even thinks Jacob already had something that would kill her instantly. 

"I'm going to kill you if you scream again." He pointed his gun at her. 

Her eyes dilated even more. It's from the company. The gun was only supposed to be in the site for the guards. She knew it well since it has that mark. She tried to step back but the man grabbed her robe. His lascivious eyes ran to her body. She couldn't move and all of the defenses were blocked in her head. Also with guns in front of her. 

"M-My husband will be here. He's going to kill you." She gritted her teeth. 

"Then, let's get started. Shall we?" he grinned. "Wow, just how did you grow your breasts?" He was about to touch it but she slapped it away.

Kenzo was focused on the conference that took thirty minutes. The rating was high and there were live comments that the reporters are harsh for asking such questions. They also noticed the fading marks on her arm as she raised her hand while the butterfly sleeve rolled down. She kept it away from them and although it's part of her plan, Kaisley was speaking only but the truth. 

This is what he liked about Kaisley. He adored her for being this brave. But first, they have to be ready for the consequences that are going to happen. Including the rumored affair with Caleb. He's sure that her family would point out that she's the one who's having an affair. Then, suddenly there are photos of Kaisley with him and with Secretary Bryan. They were close photos. Kenzo was already sure about this but this time, his back was only shown in the photo. 

He mentioned to Caleb that he can't take Kaisley to his house. So, Kaisley will be staying in the Presidential room that the Duke set up for her on the 40th floor. And of course, Caleb can't hug her in public and even in private. The two have to restrain each other maybe after she was divorced that the lawyers are already handling. 

"How can you explain that you are with this man?" The journalist asked if that's making Kenzo's head heated up. He's been harassing her deliberately from the start. It's just good that Kaisley knows how to handle such a harasser. 

"He's the new close staff to the Duke. I am discussing business with him. But do you see that I kiss him? Hug him? Or maybe fuck him?" She asked crisply. "If you keep harassing me like this, you may leave now." She demanded. Then, the bodyguards stood up and took the journalist away. She couldn't handle anything at all and she should leave them hanging. So, she stood as her bodyguards escorted her outside the conference room. 

Kenzo's phone started ringing. So, he pulled it out thinking that it was from his wife. But he frowned when it was from the distant bodyguard that he hired to watch over the house and for his wife. 

"Yes?" 

"Sir, there's a delivery man of flowers. It said that he's delivering flowers to you." The man said. "He's talking to your wife at the moment." 

"I didn't send flowers for my wife." Kenzo creased his brows. 

"The guards let him in since they thought that it was from you." 

"Shit. Ready now! He's gone!" The female bodyguard told him. 

"What happened?" He asked. 

"Sir, he had a gun!" 

Kenzo didn't think twice about standing up and rushed outside with his phone. 

"Make sure that the bastard won't even hurt my wife." 

"Yes, sir." The bodyguard disconnected as he ran to the elevator that his bodyguards held for him. 

He loosened his tie. 

"Ready a motorbike." He mumbled to his bodyguard who stayed with him. 

They were on standby when they reached the main entrance of the hotel. He straddled the bike, put the helmet on, and drove fast as a few bodyguards set up their siren. Kenzo gritted his teeth and he knew well who it was.. The man finally made his move after stalking his wife for days.
