Chapter 189 - Welcome To Bali!

"Finally we've arrived," said Ren with a smile. He took out a set of clothes from their suitcase and placed them on the bedside table. "You go change into clothes suitable for a tropical climate. It's quite hot outside."

Fae nodded. She then changed into white shorts, straw woven sandals, and a thin blue top. Her hair was let loose to her waist, making her look fresh and beautiful.

Ren himself wore casual shorts below the knee, a short-sleeved shirt, and casual sandals. He looked so handsome and young. For a moment, Fae was stunned to see her husband's appearance. Ren looked like a student only on holidays.

"We are ready for the holidays," commented Ren. He kissed Fae's cheek and whispered. "You're so beautiful ..."

Fae blushed and nodded. "Thank you."

She looked out the plane window and saw the runway and several other private planes parked in the same area.

Ah .. this place must be popular. There were so many rich people going on a vacation here, she thought. 

"Am I allowed to know where we are now?" asked Fae. Ren finally nodded. He spread his hands and welcomed her.

"Welcome to Bali."

Fae pursed her lips in shock. "Really? Are we in Bali now?"

Ren nodded. "I had bought a villa here a while ago. The place is very private, and even my assistant doesn't know I have a place to live in Bali. I want to get away for a while from state duties and so on, to spend time with you ... I'm sure you'll love the place."

Fae had read a lot about Bali and never dreamed that one day she would be able to go there. She heard that this place was very beautiful and she couldn't wait to explore it.

When they got out of the plane, Fae immediately closed her eyes on the runway and breathed in the fresh tropical island air that filled her lungs. She could smell the soothing scent from the beach. The warm sunshine against her skin felt like a soft, warm silk blanket.

Ahh ... she was so happy!!

Ren smiled at his wife's reaction. He put his arms around Fae's waist and gave her a hug. 

"We'll stay here as long as you like," he whispered.

Fae turned and smiled at her husband's words. She was sure that Ren didn't mean it. She knew he was very busy and had a lot of responsibilities. However, she just nodded.

"Thank you," she said, kissing Ren's lips briefly.

They then walked hand in hand into the luxury car that had come to pick them up on the runway. Along the way to their villa, Fae kept glancing out of the window and admiring the beauty of the area they passed.

Really this place was very different from Europe! The native people had healthy tanned skin. Their faces were all filled with happy smiles. 

Ah, of course. The sun did have such an effect. Cold weather in Europe made many people's mood dark and prone to winter depression, while sunlight made the mood brighter and happier.

Fae was even better than yesterday. She almost forgot the anger and sadness caused by Amelia shooting her. Especially that now Ren was always beside her like this, pampering her and paying attention to all her needs.

Fae felt there was a silver lining in this terrifying incident. Ren finally realized that he didn't want to lose Fae and their children, so he was now a changed man.

From now on, Fae hoped that their life as a family would get better. She didn't mind at all if Ren kept marriage and their children hidden while he waited to step down from his position as the crown prince. What was important now for Fae was that Ren was willing to accept their children.

Unconsciously, she stroked her stomach and smiled to herself.

Ren, who sat beside her, did not fail to notice her expression. His eyes grew foggy, and he swallowed hard. He looked out of the window and tried not to look at Fae again.

He didn't want to cry in front of his wife.

Their car drove gracefully up the hill and then into a small road covered with teak trees on either side. Fae felt like they were crossing a small forest because of the many trees around them and no other buildings. This place was remote but beautiful.

The car then stopped in front of a huge and elegant white villa. The courtyard was neatly paved and had enough space to accommodate a dozen cars. You could see a beautiful lush garden with various shady trees and many typical Bali frangipani plants in full bloom on the left and right. Some were white, some were yellow and pink. They were so beautiful.

The walls of the villa were partly covered with vines, which made it look more exotic and green. The enormous door to the villa was made of uniquely carved teak wood and momentarily stunned Fae.

"Come on in. This is our home in Bali," said Ren. He led Fae through the large teak door opened by two servants in brown uniforms with typical Balinese headbands.

As soon as they entered, Fae immediately realized that the door was not the real villa door, but more like the gateway to the compound inside.

After they had passed through the door, there was a vast and bright space opened up with direct sunlight providing warmth. They crossed a huge clear pond with a pretty wooden bridge to the first room. 

Fae was amazed to see so many koi fish swim lazily on either side of them as they crossed the wooden bridge. It really felt calming. She paused for a moment and studied the fish with great interest.

"We can come and feed the fish later. They will come and surround you as you feed them. You will definitely like it," Ren explained.

"Oh really? Whaa... I can't wait." Fae chuckled in amazement and continued on her way. After they crossed the wooden bridge across the large pond, they arrived at a large space that looked like a hall or lobby which contained several rattan cabanas and beautiful mattresses to relax while reading a book or watching the koi fish in the pond. 

There are so many traditional arts and artistic works adorning the walls and floors.

"This place is huge," said Fae. 

"You won't get bored here because there are lots of places to relax and explore. I'll show you the whole villa later. Now we go straight to our room, unpack our things, and rest," said Ren.

Fae nodded. She followed Ren's footsteps across the lounge and through a long corridor decorated with ornamental plants. They entered a huge room containing a lounge with comfortable sofas. 

Ren opened the door beside the sofa, and they arrived in a spacious bedroom with luxurious wooden furniture. The bed had four posts decorated with carved gold, mosquito nets that gave it a tropical look, and sliding doors that open onto the Olympic-sized infinity pool.

Fae was at a loss for words as she walked onto the patio to the pool and saw the sea. It was so close!

"Can we go to the sea from here?" she asked while turning her head towards Ren. The man was arranging their two suitcases into the walk-in closet. He nodded.

"That's right. At the other end, there is access to the private beach. No one else around here to bother us. We can go to the beach at any time."

"Oh .. oh my .. This is amazing! I can't wait to get to the beach!" said Fae enthusiastically. She had never been to the beach before because in Moravia there were no beaches and sea, only lakes and rivers.

Ren smiled broadly at his wife's enthusiasm. He walked with his hands in his pockets toward Fae and stood beside her, watching the blue sea spread out below them.

Indeed the scenery here was very beautiful and serene. When he bought this place a few years ago, he didn't tell anyone about it on purpose. Amelia and Karl didn't know this place existed. He hoped they wouldn't bother him while he was spending time with Fae.

"We'll be there this afternoon," he whispered. "Now, I think we need to rest first. The 13-hour journey from Moravia to here is quite tiring."

He put his arm around Fae's stomach and embraced her from behind.. His lips searched Fae's nape and kissed her softly.
