Chapter 120 - The Mother

Caleb's erection dies after seeing his mother's furious face. He turned off the main lights and made sure that everything was locked. Although his mother was screaming at the door. He turned to Kaisley and scooped her face. 

"It's alright. They won't be able to come in here." He kissed her lips and hugged her. 

Somehow, Caleb felt anxious. This happened before. He doesn't like how she would cry and get worried that he might leave her. He hates seeing it but somehow, he doesn't see it from her anymore. Her arms wrapped around him tightly. 

"Let's go upstairs?" He suggested. "The condom is new there also…" he grinned at her. "We can watch some lewd stuff." 

She giggled. However, hearing the scream and scandalous mother and the supposedly future daughter-in-law of Tanner, made her heart jumpy. Caleb took her upstairs with their champagne. She could still hear them but as soon as Caleb brought her to their room, he closed the curtains and turned on the television as something lewd was playing. She laughed at him. 

"I only use my hands whenever I think of you." He said and kissed her forehead. "Although I had slept with many escorts… I always thought about you." He stripped in front of her. She removed her shirt and her loosened bra. "I only love you." 

The couple makes love as they forget the screaming of two desperate women. The two got tired while Kaisley and Caleb were enjoying their lovemaking. It's like their first time together and Caleb was a little aggressive yet he was gentle and he kept murmuring how much he loved her. It is what Kaisley wanted. She felt at home. She felt so loved like she never was. 

The time that they were done, the couple on the television was forgotten. Kaisley laughed when she just realized that they are supposed to watch it and get kinky together. Caleb disposed of the condom and snuggled to her. 

"Cal," She called and caressed his biceps. 

"Hmm?" 

"I had never been satisfied for years." 

"Good to hear that." He smiled at her. 

"But your mom~~your dad… they will disown you if you still chose me." 

"I don't care." He sat up and looked down at her. "I don't want to live in emptiness. I don't want to live miserably like before." He caressed her hair. "You are my happiness. I don't care about them. If they keep controlling me, I don't know how long I'll live." 

She smiled at him as tears rolled down from her eyes. 

"I felt the same when I was away from you." 

"Hmm," He kissed her mouth again. "Then, we could make love later?" 

She giggled and nodded. 

"But I have a flight to catch tomorrow." 

"Yes, of course." He kissed her shoulders. "Babe," 

"Hmm?" She caressed his face. 

"What do you want to eat for our midnight snacks?" He caressed her curves. "We have to watch our secret videos to reminisce." 

She burst into laughter as she pinched his cheeks. 

"I'll eat anything." 

"Great." He took out his phone to order their favorite midnight snacks. 

Then, Caleb went to his secret safe and took out a drive, and plugged it into the television. Then, their memories together when they were in college were playing. She was laughing happily at some joke while she's wearing his worn-out shirt. 

"I'll get some chips." He said and kissed her cheeks. He reached his boxer shorts and jogged downstairs. 

Kaisley got a little bored as she got up and opened the drawer to search for his collection of condoms. She noticed a new pack of condoms that had never been opened. She wanted to laugh at the thought that he planned to finish the fifteen packets of condoms in just a night. She won't take it. However, the black velvet jewelry box caught her eyes. She reached it and stared at the known jewelry shop. She loved their designs and the first necklace that he bought for her on their first anniversary came from there. 

She hesitates to open it. Maybe it wasn't for her, but her curiosity was killing her so she opened it and stared at the golden tiara ring. There are different types of stones on it and from the look of it, it looked expensive. Maybe less expensive. 

The door opened as Caleb kicked the door closed with a bag of chips and drinks in his arms. He put it on the bed and he stopped. 

"Oh, you found that." He smiled at her. "That's a little cheap and most of it is made of glass. Not a real gem." 

"It's beautiful." She said and took it out. 

He knelt in front of her and put his hand over her lap. 

"I was meant to propose to you that night. Maybe, you could give me a chance to propose this time?" 

Kaisley bit her lower lip. Caleb reached the ring as he took the lighter on the drawer and showed her the engraved words. 

"Happiness & Life. My Queen." 

She bit her lower lip as Caleb turned off the lighter. 

"I know that this is not a big one. But I promise to give you one of the most expensive gems in the world." 

"Cal," She wiped her tears. "I don't want any expensive gems. I just want you to be with me until we grow old and can't walk anymore." 

"Even though you just had your divorce, is it alright if I ask you to marry me? I know that it was a little too soon. But, Kaisley. You mean the whole universe to me. Without you, I feel like I've been living in one of my darkest days. Will you marry me and be tied up with me, until we get peeved at each other… or maybe until we get wrinkled with grandchildren running around?" 

"I get peeved at you… but I only want to be with you until we grow old." She scooped his face. "Yes, I'll marry you. Always!"

The Next Night

Vivien watched as her daughter slept after taking painkillers. It's already nine in the evening and Kenzo hasn't arrived yet. She stayed all day taking care of her. She also had a massive headache this afternoon. Her anger toward Bailey, Dana, and Katarina surges after she watched that footage. She insisted to Kenzo to watch it although it'll break her heart. But never did she think that they also cover up on what they did to Victoria. She's Bailey's blood and yet he chose to lock her up and kept her away from her husband. 

"I'm sorry, darling," Vivien whispered. "I promise that they will never hurt you again." She bent down and kissed her forehead. 

The door opened as Kenzo entered. She stood straight and smiled at him. 

"Did you eat your dinner?" Vivien asked. 

"I~" Kenzo forgot to eat since he was too busy taking care of things. "I'll eat later." 

"You should have your dinner," Vivien said as she took her purse. 

"Did you already have your dinner?" Kenzo asked. 

"I joined your wife a while ago. They gave her painkillers. She suffered from a massive headache just twenty hours ago." 

Kenzo reached Victoria's hand and squeezed it gently. 

"I already confirmed that the Baroness grounded them at the guest house." 

"It's not enough," Vivien said in a low voice. She gently caressed Victoria's face. 

"I know that's not enough." 

"Don't worry. I'll help you protect her." 

Vivien kissed Victoria's forehead again as she walked around and Kenzo followed her to the door and escorted her. 

"I know that you are a busy Marchioness," Kenzo said. "Thank you for taking care of Victoria for me." 

"I am doing it for Victoria," Vivien said softly. 

"I know that she's your daughter," Kenzo mumbled. Vivien froze and stared at him. Her hands started shaking. "Victoria doesn't know yet. I can't tell it to her but the Baroness." 

Vivien clenched her purse. 

"All they know is that I am dead," Vivien mumbled. "That's why Hansen kept me away from the public. Until I had enough of it. I want to make it public to everyone so I could protect my daughter." 

"You know that there's a consequence if you make it public, mostly on revealing your daughter." 

"I don't care." She shook her head. She pursed her lips as tears started rolling down her cheeks. "I had never been there for her when she was embarrassed, or when she was abused by that bastard and that bitch. I had nothing to lose, but her." Vivien started sobbing. Kenzo hesitated to comfort her but he gently pulled her to his chest and stroked her back. 

"I'm sorry, mom." He said softly. "You deserved to be her mother." 

Vivien continued sobbing as she thought of the pain that she went through every day and every night by missing her daughter. She carried her for eight months, loved her, and took care of her. Although Dana said bad things toward her and Bailey nearly killed her, she survived for Victoria. Her life has never been better or good. Until she held Victoria in her arms and got to drink her milk even for once. 

"My poor baby…" She sobbed.
