After three days of working at the cafe, Kenzie was scheduled for a day's rest.

She took the chance to set up her music room with the help of the housekeepers. It was already late in the afternoon when she finished. 

Her very own private space was not only equipped with musical instruments, mixers, and computers, but it had a sofa lounge for her to rest. It was there where she took her nap, following a day's accomplishment. 

Her phone buzzed, and she excitedly reached for her mobile, despite still in a daze. She hoped it was Andrew, but to her dismay, she received W******p messages from an unknown number, someone too unwelcoming.

Three photos popped up. 

The first one was a picture of Alyssa and Brad, lips locked and her so-called friend showed off the rock on her finger. 

It has been more than a month, and while her feelings for Brad had changed into anger, Kenzie could not help but feel hurt. She gasped, feeling

    "Anything I can get you, ma'am?" Kenzie asked an old lady with wavy brown hair and expressive grey eyes, looking like she was in her seventies. For more than two hours since the woman came to the coffee shop, she had been staring at Kenzie, studying her every move. Kenzie just had to check what the lady wanted. "Well, how about a wife for my grandson? Would you like to be one?" The lady chuckled and said, "I saw you helping Mr. Chapman earlier and I think you were very sweet." Mr. Chapman was one of the cafe's regular customers. He had a hearing problem which made it very difficult to get his order straightened out, but earlier, when Kenzie took his order, she was patient with him, smiling as she showed him the options for that day's special menu. "Oh," Kenzie said before smiling back. "Mr. Chapman is such a nice man. Anyone would be more than willing to help him." "No. Not really." The lady sighed and revealed, "Some often lose their patience with him, but not you. Another th

    [WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS R-18. IT CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS] At five in the morning, Kenzie woke up with dark circles around her eyes. No. Scratch that. She wasn't sure if she slept at all. She turned to the half-naked man beside her, in deep slumber, and she narrowed her eyes. 'How dare you?' While she acted not too excited about Andrew eating her boobs and most likely getting an orgasm on top of that, the anticipation apparently ate her up. Her expectations were set, but unfortunately, nothing happened at all. After Andrew showered last night, he climbed up the bed and kissed her. She was ready, alright, but Andrew, he - Andrew fell asleep on top of her, exhausted as hell. "Mmmmm." Andrew groaned, pulling Kenzie closer into his chest. He breathed against her golden locks and nuzzled his way to the back of her neck, asking, "Is the sun almost up?" Despite how his breath gave her

    "Afternoons," remarked Kenzie as she leaned closer to Melissa. "I guess three o'clock is girl time." Melissa chuckled after closing the cash register and said, "You could say that again. We can make it official every three in the afternoon." Pointing to Kenzie, she clarified, "For as long as it is not busy. It's coffee time for us." "Absolutely, ma'am!" Kenzie confirmed, giving Melissa a salute. Melissa Web, her boss, and the cafe's manager was absolutely a doll. Kenzie thought she was beautiful with short red hair and azure eyes. What Kenzie liked best about Melissa was her energetic personality. They each made themselves their own choice of coffee and drank as they chat behind the counter while there was no new customer. So far, only a few that came in during lunch stayed behind, finishing their coffee and utilizing the shop's internet. "So Mel, what's your story? How old are you and how long have you been working h

    Suddenly, everything around her turned mute. Kenzie was a bit furious after finding out that she was working for a coffee shop owned by Andrew's grandmother. 'What was Andrew thinking? Keeping this from me?' She perfectly recalled how Andrew first lost his cool when she finally told him about her simple job. Back then he said, "Kenzie, I thought you were going to make music - be a producer? Why do you need to work at a coffee shop?" "I want to Andrew, and we should not be having this conversation. I told you, I wanted to live my life," she reminded her. "Besides, I love my coffee, and there, I get free coffee." "Okay. Fine. What's the name of the coffee shop you applied for?" Andrew asked. "It's The Steam Beans Cafe," she replied. Now it all made sense to Kenzie, how Andrew became easily at ease with her working at the cafe; it was because she would still work in an environment that was familiar to him.

    "Andrew, you know I don't mean to hide you, right?" Kenzie massaged her temples as they stood outside the driveway of a massive mansion. She looked up to him and tugged on his coat, saying, "It's just that, I had reservations. We just got married when I applied for the job and frankly, there are a lot of things between us that I am still not sure of." When Andrew acted to move past her, she pulled harder, now with both sides of his coat, and pointed, "But I do like you. I really, really do." How did they get into this conversation? Well, Andrew found out that Kenzie never really included in her employment data that she was married. Andrew had an inkling. If Melissa knew Kenzie was married to a Kenworthy, she would have asked around, including his grandmother. He had to admit it. It hurt his ego, but he kept reminding himself what he got himself into. After all, it was his idea to marry Kenzie in a flash. They did not really g

    'My life is going in the right direction', Andrew reflected as he lay on his bed. His grandmother, Emily, promised to give Andrew her company shares and would make the formal announcement on Monday. It was his grandmother's wedding gift to him. The chances of becoming the next CEO of his grandfather's media company would soon be higher. Lastly, he married the girl that took his breath away, the second her blue eyes met his brown orbs back in New York. Despite all this, however, why did he still feel incomplete? Andrew looked down at the delicate-looking blonde, resting against his chest. She had her arm across his torso and she was clearly comforted with his touch and scent. He recognized that while Kenzie married him, he still did not have her heart. Recalling how his day went earlier that evening, he wondered how he could fast-track their relationship. First, Kenzie was ashamed of the fact that s

    "Woah! Andrew has a woman!" While Jonard acknowledged Kenzie belonged to Andrew, his eyes showed a hint of interest. Kenzie may have walked in with her hair tied into a messy bun and wearing only Andrew's shirt on top of her skimpy shorts, but her freshly washed face was a breath of fresh air and her sexy, slender long legs were on display. Andrew had to cover his best friend's eyes, ordering him to turn back, "Don't fucking look!" "Sweetheart change into something more adequate for our guest," Andrew directed, shifting his gaze to his wife. When Kenzie realized what he meant, she hastily swung in the direction of the master bedroom and covered herself up. *** "Say that again?" Jonard asked for the third time, unable to believe his ears. "She is my wife. This is Kenzie," Andrew introduced from the other end of the living room where Kenzie sat with him, now wearing a comfortable dress. He put his arm arou

    Because Andrew insisted, they both wore regular fitted jeans and rubber shoes. They were ready with their hats and some extra clothes in case they needed to change. It was evident to Kenzie that they were walking around and needed to be comfortable while they were at it. From the living room, Andrew revealed, "Since you insist on doing things the way normal couples do, then today, we are doing things normally... As normal as I can tolerate." "Are we?" Kenzie asked, still lost in her thoughts, thinking constantly about how Andrew gave the "L" word. It had been lingering in her head since she took a shower. "Yeah, and just one more missing," Andrew announced. He took out his phone and made a call. "Wendell, where are you - oh, okay." In just a few minutes, Wendell arrived, carrying a shopping bag. As usual, Wendell was very chatty. He took fifteen precious minutes from the couple before he handed the bag, "Here you go, Sir. As

    "Alright, Luke. The first and very basic technique is to strike from above," Andrew said, holding a wooden sword in his hand. "As your starting position, your left foot should be here as your leading foot." Looking down in his ready stance, he explained, "Your right foot is to the back. This way, your body weight is evenly distributed and your hips are facing towards the opponent." He held tightly on the grip and demonstrated, "Your sword is pretty much at shoulder level. Like this." "Then, you bring your sword forward this way. You step your right foot this way, out of the line of attack, and then bring down your blade, hitting your opponent!" Andrew turned to Luke with a confident grin and said, "It's very easy... What do you think?" "Dada! Dada! Num, num mama!" The one-year-old was pointing to the door, wanting to go to his mommy. Obviously, Andrew's demonstration did not sink in to the baby. And how could he? It was just Andrew's wishful t

    Kenzie was back home with her husband and daughter. She was at least happy; she got to visit Braeton before she would give birth for she knew, she would need to hold back from flying once the baby is out. Kyle ended up visiting them though, in the middle of her wait. He had been planning to build a hotel in England and that was finally put into action when Andrew aided in securing a prime lot, just within the city. At that time, Kenzie and Andrew suspected that Kyle might be interested in a girl, seeing as how he was now smiling like a love-sick fool, but naturally, her twin brother was in denial. Nevertheless, it wasn't Kenzie's priority. She figured if her brother would meet a girl to help him get it up, she would be introduced to the family soon. Yes, her brother, Kyle had trouble getting it up for some time. Kenzie never knew why, but she was always confident her brother would meet his "The One" in due time. She thought, pe

    Months passed again. Crowding in a room of two obstetrician doctors, Andrew walked in with one more. He said, "This is Doctor Mandal, from The Royal London Hospital." Turning to the other doctors, Andrew introduced each one, "This is doctor Owen from Liverpool. This is doctor Martin, my wife's attending doctor." Lying in the hospital bed, Kenzie had a frown on her face. She shook her head and sighed in annoyance at what her husband had actually done. "This is absolutely no disrespect to doctor Martin," Andrew began. "I absolutely - absolutely understand that sometimes, a baby's gender can be named incorrectly." Exhaling deeply, he resumed, "They say, two heads are better than one, well, I made it three heads. Surely, we can be more accurate in identifying my child's gender." "I understand, Mister Kentworthy," doctor Martin replied. "And I respect your preference, so, shall we begin?" It was because of Kenzie's first pregn

    A loud smack made it in Kenzie's behind, making her scream, "Ahhh! Andrew!" "Get your ass off the bed, sweetheart? Your pregnant, not sick. The doctor clearly said you could walk, go up and down the stairs, and even work," Andrew said before letting out a heavy sigh. "Your perfectly round ass is going to get bloated." "How dare you? I don't care if I get fat! I will just lie here in bed until this baby turns four months old, and that's final!" Kenzie retorted while giving her husband a nasty stare. "I'd rather be safe than sorry, thank you very much." "Ahhh..." Taking a full turn Andrew groaned before joining his wife to bed. He said, "Well, if you are not joining me at the party, then I'm not going either." "What?" Kenzie turned with a frown. "You are not attending your company's anniversary party? Are you crazy?" "What good is a party if my wife isn't there?" Andrew said while turning to her side and embracing her from behind. "The party can

    Time passed again. Months turned into a year. While it did not take long for Kenzie to recover from the depression, the couple decided not to rush on having a baby, rather allow it to come along, should it happen. They did not want to plan it. Each time Andrew and Kenzie made love, they simply relished in the pleasure without expecting anything to come out of it. Whether Kenzie wanted to rest in order to conceive, Andrew never put pressure on her, especially since, when she lost the pregnancy, she blamed herself thoroughly. Thus, Kenzie managed to take her career into greater victory, turning it into a business of her own. She managed to sign more artists under her record label and named her company, Steller Music Entertainment. Within that time frame, Courtney Star released another single, signed under the new record label and the young artist, Little Cali. Others were still working on recording their first album with Kenzie's

    "I'm sorry, Misses Kentworthy, but you had a miscarriage." The words kept repeating in Kenzie's head as she sulked inside her room, back in Braeton. On the same day she learned her pregnancy failed, she left to see her family. She brought along Kimberly with her and since Andrew could not just leave the company abruptly, especially when he just took a leave, attending to his parents' wedding; he had to stay and command KNW Lifestyle Media. When she arrived in Braeton, she went straight to her parent's house, not making use of the one her father bought for Kimberly.Kenzie wanted to be in her most familiar space, her comfort zone, one she grew up in most of her life. For three straight days, she had been grieving in her room, merely going out to check on her daughter and eating meals. She could not function effectively in her daily routine, not even enjoy her time with Kimberly. Kenzie, evidently found herself in a depressed state that

    Two months passed. Andrew and Kenzie sponsored Melissa and Ambrose's church wedding. It was almost two years too late. They had longed planned their formal celebration, but the two got occupied with taking care of a new baby. Their son, Maverick was hospitalized twice since he was born and that dragged out the couple's plans to formalize their weddings. Furthermore, Ambrose was busy expanding his business, often traveling to another country, hoping to find the next good acquisition. Like Andrew and Kenzie's wedding, many esteemed guests crowded within the cathedral of Melissa's choice. It was yet another grand wedding, coming from the Kentworthys. While waiting for the bride, Kenzie and Andrew gave their regards to Ambrose. "Congratulations again, brother, for finally marrying the woman of your dreams," Andrew said while fixing Ambrose's bowtie. "There you go. You almost looked like me

She felt her skin being lathered by the same mixture as she caressed herself. Just as she closed her eyes appreciating the aroma, she felt hands massaging her neck and back. "Hmmm... right, there," she said while tilting her head to one side. "Though, this is not a place for a massage." Andrew chuckled and said, "You seemed like you could use one." From within their penthouse bathroom, the couple was inside a sizable jacuzzi tub, enjoying their romantic bath, drifting with rose petals. Andrew insisted they enjoy the bath the hotel had arranged, before indulging in a night of love-making. Kenzie's hair was tied behind her head, perfectly formed into a bun and with that, her slender neck was in full displa
