Chapter 103 - News Reached The Parson's House

Parson Residence

Regina smiled at the changes in the Royal Dynasty. Duke Philip to Prince Philip and also, Kaisley, the woman she saw in the Westeria who was with Kenzo and Victoria. It seemed like the Royal family was going to reveal something great soon. There were lots of questions on who will be the next Duke of Westeria. But looking at her son who looked flustered with the news, piqued her curiosity. 

"Who is this Maverick Edward, again?" Bailey asked. 

"He's from Belmont," Dana answered. "What's the fuss?" 

Regina sipped on the new tea that her granddaughter and grandson-in-law gave to her. She wanted to know why Bailey was against it. 

"Oh," Bailey said. "It said that he's single and looking for someone to get married to." 

"Shame, our daughter is already with Jason." 

"If Victoria could have and divorced her husband, it'll be better for our family." 

"Don't be absurd," Regina exclaimed. 

"Why do you like that good-for-nothing bastard, mother?" Bailey creased his brows. 

"That man is better than Jason," Regina said. "He's a gentleman and he moves gracefully." 

"Graceful?" He scoffed. "You should have never taken that girl into our family. She's a disgrace!" 

Regina remained calm. 

"It's your fault, Bailey. Don't forget that you were the one who ruined that young woman's life." Regina snapped at him. Bailey and Dana were shut by her words. "Victoria is innocent and you are a useless father. I didn't raise you to be like that." She sighed. "Your daughter is happy and in good hands. Kenzo was taking care of her and working to provide for her." 

Her phone chimes and she checked it. There were updates from Victoria as she was in the hot spring with her friends and husband. She chuckled as she stood. 

"Well, Victoria is doing well. At least she's happy rather than in this rotted family." She pulled her scarf. "And also, Bailey. Don't you dare do anything to Victoria? You disowned your daughter long ago and Kenzo is now her legal guardian." She left the great room and went upstairs to her room. 

She called her granddaughter who answered shortly. 

"Hey, grandma!" Victoria greeted. 

"It must be relaxing in that hot spring." 

"Yes, grandma. It's also therapeutic." 

"When are you going to bring me there, dear?" 

"Ah~~soon! I will ask permission from the owner." 

"Alright, how's Kenzo?" 

"He's doing fine and he's here beside me." Victoria sounded cheerful. 

"Hello, Grandma!" Kenzo exclaimed. "Well, I will have someone to pick you up, let's say by Saturday? You can have the rest of the house all for you." 

"And the two of you are not staying?" Regina sounded disappointed. 

"We are off to the resort that Caleb and I bought for business," Victoria said. 

"You can come with us if you want. We will be leaving early tomorrow." Kenzo suggested. 

"What could this old woman do in that beach full of young people?" She chuckled. "Set me up in the hot spring for two days. I am stressed lately because of your father." 

"Okay," Victoria said. 

"The caretakers will serve you well, grandma," Kenzo said. 

"You both make me feel better," Regina said as she reached her heart. It has been empty for a long time now. After her husband died, she saw how Victoria was precious to her. She used to ignore her but then, her husband told her in his last breath that she's the real heiress of Parson. 

"We are glad that you are feeling better, Grandma," Kenzo said. "Call me anytime you want for your vacation." 

"Oh, I will surely do, my dear grandson." 

Regina said goodbye to them. She then looked at the news and decided to write a letter to the old man. She went to her desk as she prepared her special paper and fountain pen. 

Dearest Prince Philip,

I heard that you are finally back in your position. I think you are doing well. 

Regina said things that he should be strong for him to have grandchildren. She also tells him about how happy she was for her granddaughter Victoria. She never mentioned Katarina since she's not the real blood of Parson. She brought disgrace to the family and blame it on the good granddaughter. Regina knew this well. The moment that little Victoria was crying when Dana hurt her, Regina's heart shattered with her innocent questions. She would never forget the time she asked if she was their real daughter.

Katarina slid Victoria's photos. She's currently using a dummy account to stalk her sister and checked her account. It was in private and she's following her. There were photos of them in the hot springs with her handsome-sexy husband. Katarina had to compliment it in her head. But he's way better than Jason. She tried seducing the man but it didn't work. She wondered, just how could Victoria have all of the good things that she had? She should be lucky. She should have everything that Victoria doesn't.

She managed to steal Jason from her and she managed to kick her out of the mansion. But still, she lives freely and happily. She exhaled in frustration as she threw her phone on the pillow and hugged her pink teddy bear. 

"Just why?" She mumbled. She looked at the door of her room and left her room. She happened to pass by her parent's house as she heard them arguing. She stopped and stayed standing to eavesdrop on them. 

"Why can't Katarina marry Jason?" Dana exclaimed. "The two are already engaged!" 

"Do you know that it's still a scandal?" Bailey said. "Jason was originally engaged to Victoria. And it'll only cause a ruckus. What if the cheating would appear to the media?" 

"Cheating?" Katarina rolled her eyes and turned her heel to walk back to her room but she stopped again when her father spoke. 

"If that's what you are worried about, I already had someone to hack that girl's phone. The video is gone." 

"You mean, Stacey?" 

"Yes," Dana said. "There's nothing else anymore now." 

Katarina rolled her eyes and went back to her room. She heard her phone vibrating and so, she reached it and found her photos with Jason in that dark alley. She clenched her fist and checked the sender. 

"This can't be!" She shuddered and found Jason with another woman. This time it wasn't her and they were intimate with each other. There's a watermark that shows the date and the date is today. 

After a few moments, a link was sent to her. She played it and watched as Jason got pleased by that woman that he took. They were like animals and she despised them. She hung up and called Jason's phone. It started ringing but he's not answering. Then, she reached her tablet that is connected to her phone and watched the video as Jason was even howling like a wolf as he thrust to the slut. 

"I won't let you get away with this!" She gritted her teeth. She screamed and threw her phone and tablet on the bed.

Kenzo spoke to his grandfather about letting Lady Regina stay for two nights or two in the resthouse. Prince Philip doesn't mind at all. It's one of the secret places of their family and yet, they are letting someone stay. Prince Philip mentioned to Victoria that Regina is a great friend and she helped him with sort of things together with her husband even back in their school days. 

Victoria was surprised that Prince Philip knew her grandmother well. They seemed to be going to the same school as her grandfather. She was glad to hear good things about her grandmother. At least, Prince Philip knew her grandmother since she's married to his grandson. 

"If grandma knows about you, she'll be happy," Victoria said once that they reached their room. 

"I'm sure she is. She's already proud of me even though she thinks that I am not noble or royal." 

Victoria rummaged into the clothes. 

"Don't wear anything when we are in bed." He stopped her. 

"How about underwear?" She pouted at him. Her adorable look made him mesmerized for seconds. 

He scratched his head, confused about what to do with this adorable-looking wife. He didn't want to tire her always and she needed some break from lovemaking. Although it's a long weekend, he wanted to give her a relaxing night for tomorrow's beach. He thought deep as he was staring at his wife's innocent look. She'll be the Duchess of Great Greivania soon and just why~why does she look so innocent. She should look demure, and very much lady-like. Like a real duchess but maybe his eyes saw it wrong. 

"Why are you so adorable?" He mumbled. She snorted and crossed her arms. 

"You should say that I look sexy and seductive. I don't want to look cute in front of you!" 

"But you look cute." He reached her cheeks and squeezed them. "You are like a plushie." 

She frowned and pushed his hands away. 

"Don't ever call me, plushie!" She hissed at him. 

She faced the wardrobe and took a pair of pajamas. She snorted at him and went to the bathroom. 

"Love, did I mess up? Aren't we going to make love?" Kenzo knocked. She didn't answer and after a few moments, she came out, looking grumpy, and went to bed. 

"Sleep on the floor." She hissed at him. 

Kenzo sighed, brushed his teeth, and went to bed naked. He bent down and kissed her forehead. 

"Babe, I'm sorry. But you are adorable." He kissed her lips. "Baby…" He pouted at her. 

"Alright, you can sleep on the bed." 

He grinned and slid beside her and snuggled to her.
