Chapter 236 - Unravelling

Maverick was playing the piano as he thought of the song that Butler Reinheart taught him when he was young. Somehow, it just got into his mind. He felt uneasy after a bad dream so he left his wife for a while and went to the great room with his phone on top of the piano and he's monitoring his wife to make sure that she's safe. 

He looked at the entrance of the great room as Kenzo leaned on the door frame wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a robe that was half-opened. 

"What are you doing here?" Maverick asked. 

"I was taking a break from my wife's grip," Kenzo answered. "Men need a break for them to recover." He said and pointed to his lower part. Maverick chuckled and continued playing the piano softly. "So, how about you? Are you guys done?" 

"It was a quickie," Maverick answered. "My wife gets tired faster than before.." 

"Hmm," Kenzo watched him playing the piano. "That's a lullaby." He said. He looked at Kenzo. "That song was passed to every Etrama heir. Where did you get it?" 

"Uh, Butler Reinheart taught it to me first when I was little." 

"I see." Kenzo nodded. "You are an Etrama heir after all." 

Maverick stopped from playing. 

"I'll go back after I fetch the things that my wife needed before the third round." 

"Okay." Maverick laughed and glanced at his phone. His wife wasn't in the bed and he quickly took his phone and searched for her. He stood from the piano seat and was about to leave when his wife walked to the entrance of the great room. "Love! You scared me." 

"Now, the piano is your new mistress?" She grinned at him while having the beautiful long robe covered around her body. 

"Come here." Maverick sat down and patted the spot beside him. She approached him and sat beside him. He wrapped his right arm around her and kissed her head. "I'm going to play you a lullaby." 

"Okay," She adjusted herself a little as he unwrapped his arm to play it. 

She smiled and listened to it happily. She somehow felt happy and sad at the same time with the song. There are lyrics to it but the way it was played, the meaning could be only felt by the listener and it is a beautiful lullaby. 

"Do you like it?" He asked after finishing it. 

"It's amazing. I think our baby would listen to that all day." She whispered. 

"That's good." His left hand reached her round tummy. "I can't wait for our baby to come out." He scooped then scooped her chin and kissed her passionately. "I love you so much… Stacey." 

She smiled beautifully and caressed his hair. 

"I love you, from the bottom of my heart. I will always love you." 

They kissed again passionately and she gently pushed him. 

"Love, I'm hungry." 

He chuckled in amusement and kissed her more.

Victoria was leaning on the headboard as she scrolled through Katarina's social media. She was posting lots of things and that includes caviar that she's eating. Then, there's a stolen photo of a man that looked so familiar. She stared at it as she already noticed that handsome face. Travis Gordon. She also had her ring on it and placed it over the chest of a man. She wasn't jealous but she was rather curious about why Travis Gordon was with her sister. 

The door opened and Kenzo came with the food. He placed the tray over the bed. 

"Let's eat?" He grinned at her. She smiled and put away her phone. 

"Did you know that Katarina was engaged with Travis Gordon?" 

Kenzo stopped and stared at her. 

"What?" 

"I just showed her a message to me that she was engaged to a Count." 

"Oh, okay." He shrugged. 

"This is rather twisted. You think?" 

"Yeah, Katarina was a bitch toward you while Travis was an angel and a sponsor to you." 

Victoria laughed at how he described her relationship to both. 

"I will ask Renzel about it later." She reached for the glass of milk and sipped on it. 

"But, you are right, my love," Kenzo said. Victoria was happy every time he said that she was right. "It's very twisted when you said that your sister was engaged to Travis Gordon. Do you know about their past?" 

She shrugged at him. 

"I have no idea, sorry darling." 

"Try to dig in your memory about some nerd in your school." 

"There was one." She dug deep. "I think I should ask Stacey about it later."

"You will probably forget about it." He said and bit on the sandwich. 

"I might." 

She covered her chest with her robe but her husband opened it up. 

"That's my appetizer." 

She giggled and smacked his arm. He fixed it and covered it as the couple ate happily. Shortly, Kenzo put away the tray while Victoria vacuumed the bed using the portable vacuum. She steamed, cleaned the bed, and fixed it. Kenzo came shortly and grinning. 

"Let's start?" He asked. 

"Babe, we just ate. A little later will do." She sat down on the bed, picked an erotic book, and started reading it. 

Kenzo lay on his stomach flat down at the edge of the bed while holding his wife's ankle. He was like a puppy to his wife and he can wait until she's ready. 

"Love, you need to shape up before our honeymoon. Okay?" 

"I will," She glanced at him. "We aim to get pregnant." She grinned at him. 

"I will set up everything before taking a leave for our wedding and honeymoon." He crawled to her and opened up her legs. He kissed her inner thighs. 

"So, where are we going?" She asked. 

"Back to our house. Small house?" he asked. 

"That's not bad at all." She giggled. "But let's go somewhere for vacation and later stay back in our small sweet home?" 

"Sure. Let's go to beautiful places then." He opened up her robe. 

"Love, I'm gonna read this to you." She grinned. "It was raining hard when I realized that it's the most relaxing sound at night. On the other hand, the sound that shook me up and made me alive was his soft moaning in my ear while he was thrusting inside me. Every part of it was sensual as I felt every inch of his thick long cock inside me, finally rubbing that spot." 

"Oh, that's nice. That's very uncensored." He shoved his face between her legs. 

She continued reading the novel until the couple had their round.

Renzel got off from work and received a message from her again. It's been days since she started bugging him and he slept once or twice with Mila but now that moved back to her apartment, they can't do it again. He looked at the car waiting outside his company. He set up a café where they can have a private conversation. 

He hopped in his car and drove off as his ex-girlfriend Rebecca followed him. He entered the café first, which is very private and he ordered two coffees. He sat down and checked his phone to see if Mila had a message. But somehow, there's none. He waited for his coffee as it arrived together with Rebecca who was wearing a black trench coat, sunglasses even at night and she sat down and removed her eyeglasses and smiled. 

"Hi, Renz." Her voice was sweet and seductive as always but somehow it didn't give him the same attraction as before. 

"You know that we can't meet, Rebecca." 

"I already pulled out the restraining order." She said and reached his hand. "I need your help, maybe as a friend?" 

Renzel looked down at their hands. She's wearing fake red nails, fancy as she likes, and he pulled out his hands. 

"You don't have to pull that out if you don't need anything from me." He sipped on his coffee and glanced at his phone. 

"I need a place to stay for a moment, Renz. I can't go to my apartment or book a hotel…" 

"I will book a hotel under my name then." He pulled out his phone but she stopped him. 

Rebecca bit her lips as her eyes started becoming teary. 

"I'm sorry for what I did to you." 

Renzel never heard her apologize when she left him after aborting their baby. He despised her back then, but his hatred subdued after he realized that he was happier without her. 

"Renz, please. I beg you." 

"How about your husband?" He asked. "Why aren't you asking for his help?" 

"He's bankrupt and they are after me too." 

He should feel sorry for her but he feels nothing. 

"I will provide you with a hotel to stay in." He booked it under his name. Then, he sent the location to her. 

"Renz, why can't I stay in your penthouse?" 

"I am too busy to prioritize you, Rebecca. You are old enough." Renzel sighed. "I'm sorry but this is the only thing that I could do. Stay in the hotel, they will provide you anything you want."
