Chapter 95 - His Duchess

Victoria couldn't sleep as she over-thought. It's one of the reasons why she hates herself, she overthinks a lot. She should have stopped herself from it but every time that she remembered the two royals mentioning the baby, that she should have it made her stressed. What if Kenzo was their heir? If they found out that she's useless, it only meant that they could get rid of her. She'll be blamed and a laughing stock as an infertile woman. 

She stayed outside the bedroom, on the corner, hugging herself as she thought of the possibility that he'll divorce her. It's also obvious that Kenzo might be the Crown Prince but he's not telling her. The two old men were oddly close to him and he called them grandfather. Also, they planned their wedding too. She didn't know what would happen if Kenzo would be forced to leave her. 

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Kenzo asked. She raised her hand toward the frame of the door where her husband was standing. 

"Kenz," She called and he approached her. 

"What's wrong?" He knelt in front of her and hugged her waist. 

"What if I wouldn't be able to give you babies?" She asked anxiously. He reached both of her hands and held it. It felt so cold and he didn't understand where her anxiety came from. But her doctor mentioned to him that it'll affect her mentality. Depression, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, and a lot more were caused by hormonal imbalance. "Tell me, you are their real grandson, right?" She looked broken. Kenzo didn't want to say it this way. But she seemed to have figured it out. His wife isn't stupid to figure it out. 

"I am Kenzo Ivan Etrama." He kissed her hand. "And you are my wife, the Duchess of Etrama." 

"Kenzo, I can't give you a baby." She burst into tears, getting more emotional than before. He scooped her face and wiped her tears. 

"Hey, don't say that. Even if you can't, then," He paused and wiped her tears again. "Let's enjoy sex as husband and wife?" 

"But I want to give you a baby… or more…" She sniffled and she looked ugly. 

"Babe," He sighed and kissed her lips lightly. "It doesn't mean that you can't have a baby. We will have it at the right time. I will help you. Also, you have a healthy body." 

"You won't leave me because you are the Duke?" 

He grinned at her. 

"You are my Duchess." He kissed her lips more. "Also, grandpa will help us to make you happy." 

"I don't want to fail them too." She sniffled. 

"You won't." He said positively to cheer her up. "Did you drink the herbal that grandpa gave you?" 

"I forgot. It's in the house." 

"I knew you would, so," He stood and took her hands. She followed him to the kitchen and he opened the fridge full of herbal liquids that were extracted and for it to taste better that would be good for her stomach and would help her. "I'm also drinking it with you." 

"That would be great." She said and wiped her tears. 

He took the pack and shook it. Then, he cut the side and took the straw as he gave it to her. He caressed her hair as she sipped on it and the mint taste mixed with bitterness made her want to throw up, but she just drank it like a juice or something. 

"You'll cut off alcohol." He said as he drank it with her. She flinched but she kept on sipping since he promised that he'll drink it with her.

"Why is there a lot of it in a single column of the fridge?" She asked. 

"It's for your everyday drink." He answered as he eyed her chest where her breast was molding. She looked down at it and smacked his arm. He laughed and thought about making love to her since yesterday, before that bastard touched her, she was telling him and making fun of him about being horny. 

"How about our house?" She suddenly asked. "I left a few things unplugged." 

"I already had someone to take care of it." He scooped her face. "Don't worry so much. We are going to stay here for a long time until we are done with Kaisley's case. Besides, we are also taking care of your case." 

She sighed and moved closer to him and leaned on him. 

"I spoke to Stacey. What Maverick told us was only to protect her." She said and slid her hand to his pajama pants. He froze when she started seducing by touching the most sensitive part. 

"Love," He called huskily. "What are you doing?" 

"I think you are horny and you are." She giggled and put away the empty pack. He sipped on his herb and finished it. Then he put it on the counter and carried her back to their room. "I'm suddenly hungry." She said and he groaned in pain. "Let's make smoothies with milk." She grinned at him. 

"Love…" He moaned at her. 

"Come on. I'm hungry and I need the energy to make love to you." 

He took her back to the kitchen as she quickly rummaged to the fridge, taking a box of fresh milk and fruits. 

"What do you want?" She asked and took out the raspberry and kiwi. "How about we mixed this?" 

Kenzo stood behind her and pressed his hard body to her while she's washing the berries and kiwi. 

"You are so sexy." He said softly and scooped her breasts. She giggled, suddenly felt hot by his touch. "I will make love to you until you can't walk." 

"Babe, I have an appointment with Stacey, Harriet, and Lady Vivien tomorrow. I need to walk." She said. He hugged her small waist tightly and kissed her cheeks. 

"Alright, just remember that I love you." He whispered. She grinned at him. 

"I love you, Kenzo." 

"We'll try to fill this," he rubbed her stomach after our grand wedding. 

"We don't need a grand wedding though." She leaned on him. 

"Did I promise you something?"

"Maybe," she grinned. 

"I'll make it come true." He kissed her neck. "You are the best thing I have, Victoria." 

"I think I'm the one who should say it. Did I tell you that I didn't regret marrying you that night? Although both of us are strangers to each other?" 

She put the fruits on the drainer. 

"Let me slice this, love." 

Kenzo woke up early to exercise. But at that time, he visited the two old men in the garden of their room floor. The two were discussing something while having their breakfast. He bowed at them as they raised their heads and pointed to the chair. 

"Where's Victoria?" Philip asked. 

"She's still asleep. I'm going to run for ten minutes in the park." He crossed his arms. "Alright, here's the deal. Don't mention any baby in front of Victoria or stress her out. Even joking about babies." 

The King raised his brows. 

"Why is that?" 

"It's not good for her mental health. It's hard for women to have their hormonal imbalance and with her current condition, it'll be hard for her to deal with anxiety and depression. Also, Victoria found out that I am the heir to the throne. Either the Duke's throne or the King's throne." 

"I won't die yet." King Edgar chuckled. 

"It's not that, Grandpa." Kenzo sighed. "You have to stay healthy so you'll meet your future grandchildren." 

"However, the position of Duke and Crown Prince is yours," Philip said. "I'll have my position as the Prince." 

"Uh, grandpa, how about the company?" 

"I'll move to Kaisley as an Executive President." He said. "She's very competent and hard-working. Besides, she needs it." 

Kenzo sighed. 

"Alright." 

"That means that you'll be back to Westeria with Victoria. I'll give you three weeks." The Duke said. 

"Isn't my wife safe there?" 

"She will be." The King said. "I won't let it happen to our family again." 

"I'll be going now." He bowed his head and went to his residential floor. "Love," He called as he heard the blender. "You are awake?" he asked.

"Yeah," She smiled at him. "Well, I'm quite sore after last night." He kissed her lips. 

"I'm going to run outside the park. Do you want to come?" 

"Sure. I want to explore the park nearby too. But I can't promise that I'll run."

The couple went down to the lobby with their water and fruit smoothie. Their bodyguards in their matching running outfits were waiting for them. Victoria noticed a familiar stare at them. She turned her head to see Katarina and Jason. Her sister was clinging to Jason possessively. But she only smiled at them as she felt Kenzo's arms on her. 

"Hey, don't look at anyone. You are mine." Kenzo said possessively. She only laughed and nudged him. 

"I am just admiring the couple glaring at us. I think they are jealous. I have a sexy-handsome husband." 

"With complete packs of abs." He grinned. Their bodyguards followed them as they strode to the park. He stretched in front of him as their bodyguards followed white three female bodyguards and one male stayed with her while she walked and let Kenzo run around. Every time, he walked past her, he would kiss her. 

She realized that her anxiety or worry went for nothing at all. He loved her and he won't trade her for anything just as he promised. 

She panted and stopped for a while as her bodyguards stopped.. She's not good at cardio but she had to try.
