Eleven months later.
Life as parents were both tough and sweet, especially for the working couple like Andrew and Kenzie. However, they made it worked.
With the support of Andrew's family, his mother especially, Kenzie had help in raising Kimberly in the past eleven months while she began her official career as a music producer.
That day, Kenzie was out to support one of her artists. She was standing backstage in one of KNW's studios, filming her artists as she performed one of Kenzie's compositions.
Everyone heard the announcer introduce, "Having sold more than one million copies of her recent album, let's welcome on stage, Courtney Star performing her famous single, "You Made Me Smile!"
A recently famed British singer pointed to the cameras and began to sing the hit single.
"Let's commit to the perfect crime
I steal your heart and you steal mine
Uhuh, those were the words that you said to me
Thank you. One chapter only guys. My little girl is sick and I had to take care of her.
"And you figured, not telling me was okay?" Andrew asked, hissing as he put his hands on his waist. "I'm not a whore and it did not affect me. Plus, I don't have enemies. You did say Alyssa was dealt with, right? And Grace? You still keep tabs on her and she has not done anything, right?" Kenzie explained. "And besides, I got really busy that I completely forgot about it." "The only time I go out without a bodyguard following me around is when I am inside the media company and when I am home." Kenzie pointed in no particular direction and said, "I'm always guarded." "The comfort room at the mall was an exception because I was in a rush and we were together, technically," she added. With a sigh, she said, "I'm not even sure if those words were meant for me." Andrew and Kenzie were back at their vast mansion, discussing her earlier encounter inside Andrew's study. The man was furious at his wife for not having mentioned the n
"Ladies and gentlemen, to our English guests and local Braetoneans, it is time to welcome the celebrant for today! The new princess of the Wrights and the only princess of the noble family of the Kentworthys," a hostess announced, calling everyone's attention. The sound of trumpets could evidently be heard as heralds stood in the aisle of The Second Diamond Hotel's grand ballroom, playing the instruments in their hands. They all gave way for the princess to arrive. The entire venue had a castle backdrop on the sides and all organizers, including Kenzie's and Andrew's side of the family, were dressed in medieval times. "Welcome, princess Kimberly!" The crowd roared as Kimberly's name was introduced and behind everyone, the vast doors to the venue opened in slow motion. Andrew and Kenzie, the proud parents were dressed like a king and queen, both standing elegantly by the door. Andrew looked high and mighty with a crown o
"I think, our daughter is the richest one-year-old, don't you think?" Kenzie asked, giggling at the end. She pecked her daughter's sleeping face and said, "What a lucky princess." "Rich indeed," Andrew confirmed while shaking his head at the room's interiors. Kenzie and Andrew were settled in the house, provided for by Ethan and Samantha as their gift. The master bedroom was in the shade of pink. The same could be seen with the sheets on the bed. A huge golden crown was painted above the bed's headboard, suggesting the master of the house was a princess. As Andrew climbed up the bed, he remarked, "To think, this is just her first birthday. I can only imagine what Kim will get on her eighteenth birthday." Kenzie chuckled and replied, "A kingdom perhaps. Haha. I don't know." She sighed and said, "Maybe this is just a phase." Looking earnestly at her husband, Kenzie suggested, "You know, she is the first granddaugh
Earlier that day, Ethan and Kyle were both looking cranky. Meeting with the potential Russian business partner was not their best objective. However, Mister Ivanov was a very well-connected man in Moscow. One could say, sealing a deal with him will expedite all potential expansion in Russia. Mister Nikita Ivanov was one of the biggest contractors in Moscow. He claimed nearly twenty percent of the city's biggest infrastructure, including the Bolshoi bridge and the West Sky Tower. If Ethan were to contract the construction of one Diamond Hotel in Moscow, going with Nikita Ivanov was a wise decision. However, Mister Ivanov was a known ladies' man. In fact, his background suggested that he had satyriasis, an addiction to sex. While Ethan believed making love is bliss, having a sex addiction was another story. Truth be told, Ethan was unsure why he pushed through with the meeting. He supposed, perhaps, he could push aside Mister Iva
"Are we - safe here?" Andrew asked, frowning at the view of varied strip clubs in Victory Square, Kiev. There were pimps and hustlers everywhere, trying to bag a deal. Some were on the streets while other girls were flashed through a huge lighted window, perfectly on display. "We brought enough men to protect us," Kyle replied. "And the local authorities are helping us determine their motives. We just need to find out who is behind this, for now, get into their network perhaps and hack in." It was because they all suspected that the organization planned to take Kenzie by force that Kyle and Andrew flew to Kiev, Ukraine, and command the investigation themselves. They brought ten of their men as aid, five of them coming from the military. The brothers-in-law were inside a van, monitoring the activities outside a significant massage spa service in the middle of the plaza. It was from their post that they meant to obs
"Hi Kenzie, I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice," a female Russian singer, Anita Orlov, who wanted to make it big in the singing industry said, meeting Kenzie in the hopes of acquiring one of her songs. Kenzie smiled at Anita and replied, "I would not miss it for the world, Anita... Not ever." There was a hint of sarcasm from Kenzie's voice that Anita leaned back, bemused. Still, she forced a smile in Kenzie's way. Kenzie turned to her bodyguards and shifted her attention back to Anita before asking, "Do you mind if they too come inside?" It was because Anita Orlov requested to meet Kenzie in an exclusive restaurant, offering private rooms that she asked permission. "I have to be careful. There is a threat to my life after all," Kenzie revealed with a sigh. "So even if you disagree, I will be bringing in my bodyguards." "Oh," Anita winced before she reluctantly answered, "I guess that's oka
Europe was stunned over the arrest of the sex trade organization, led by Briana and her mother. Just when they thought it ended with Noah Evans, the legacy continued in the name of his daughter, Briana Evans. Several TV networks covered interviews with women who were taken by force and turned into prostitutes. Many said they did not know where they were and had no one to help them. Others were simply broken, due to the abuse they had received in the course of their capture, they no longer fought against their vile fate. There were also women who willingly became prostitutes and claimed that it was their right to use their bodies in order for them to put food on the table, but mostly, the attention was focused on those who were driven into the situation. Both KNW Lifestyle Media and The Wright Diamond Corporation granted financial aid to the women. The corporations also collaborated with Non-government organizations, specializin
"Andrew, sweetie. Please wake up. Don't give me this kind of scare," Kenzie wept, running her fingers through her husband's hair. She did not know how many times she kissed his forehead, but she did it again, hoping it would ignite something in him to awake. "I love you... I love you so much," she faintly said, pressing her lips against his ear. They were in a private suite at St. Thomas Hospital, awaiting news for Andrew's recovery. Andrew had a bandage over his head. He suffered a concussion that resulted in him falling into a coma and had been for two days since the incident. He had a cuff supporting his shoulder, keeping it in place as Andrew had dislocated his shoulder during the fall. The doctors assumed, he fell on his right shoulder first while landing on top of Briana. While Briana suffered the most in the fall, even accidentally shooting herself during the struggle, Andrew still hit his head on the flo
