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
Thank you for reading. The next chapter is tomorrow.
"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
"Code Blue ICU Four." "Code Blue ICU Four." "Code Blue ICU Four." Again and again, the alert echoed through the hospital hallways, signaling the assigned emergency team to the right floor. From inside St. Thomas Hospital's Intensive Care Unit, resident doctors and selected nurses gathered in the quarters of Briana Evans, performing CPR. "Doctor Khan, we just shocked her at 150 for a V-Fib arrest. The last shock was delivered two minutes ago," a nurse reported. "Have we given any medicine?" Dr. Khan asked as he entered the room. "None yet, doctor, but we do have IV access," responded the nurse. After a second, the doctor decided, "Let's give her Epi." The nurse was quick to take out the medication and injected it, saying, "One Miligram of Epi in." The doctor who was supervising the revival studied closely Briana's condition and after seeing no response, he ordered, "Let's give her another shoc
"What would you have actually done if I did get amnesia - Ahhh! That hurts," Andrew groaned right after Kenzie smacked him in the arm, exactly the same one where he had a cuff. "That really, wasn't funny, Andrew," Kenzie said while returning to fix his hair. "How could you scare me like that? You deserved dad's sarcasm." Andrew first winced, feeling a little pain in the head before answering, "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I just thought I'd remind you how hot you are." Kenzie first went to get Andrew's pain reliever and handed it to him. She watched as he gulped it down with a drink and only then did she say, "If you had amnesia, I would do everything in me to make you fall in love with me again." She smiled and added, "I'll throw you the same pickup lines you gave me, and I'll stun you with how good I am. You'll fall in love with me in no time." Andrew chuckled and replied, "I would have loved to hear that." Embracing An
Waking up in the wee hours, Kenzie felt chills down her spine, hearing the thunder roaring outside their home. She frowned, turning to the other side of the bed, not finding her husband. "Andrew?" She called in her sluggish voice. She firmly wrapped her silk robe around her before deciding to look for him. "Andrew?" Minutes later, she found herself in Kimberly's room and exhaled at the view of the father and daughter, fast asleep on the sofa bed. She smiled watching Kimberly holding her father's waist with her arms and as she rested her head on one of Andrew's arms. It was moments like those that warmed her heart. She cautiously made her way to the two and sat next to Andrew. Gently, he shook his leg and asked, "Andrew, what are you doing here? Did you kick out Kimberly's nanny?" Andrew twitched at being awoken, tired from a long day and the previous days of staying at the hospital. After the wel
Months passed again. Kenzie had just gotten off the plane with her daughter, having taken a week trip to Braeton. "Kim, baby. Please hold on to your nanny," Kenzie instructed as she fished for her phone from inside her purse. They were outside the landing area, waiting for their pickup, along with their bodyguards. "Where's Daddy?" Kimberly asked, seeing there was no car to pick them up just yet. With a sigh, Kenzie replied, "Stuck at work, baby, but don't worry, Daddy will see you later." Since Andrew's recovery, the great CEO of KNW Lifestyle Media became swamped with work that he did not get to come along with his family during their visit to Braeton. Many good things were happening in the company. They had several shows that were nominated for TV awards and the network's movie app had gone live.Andrew had also begun, investing in European movies. His next goal was to p
Hello, my lovely readers, Thank you once again for having supported me this far. Kenzie and Andrew's love story has finally concluded. I'd have to say, this was the most challenging novel for me to write, all because of how we were affected by Typhoon Odette. Still, I thank my creator for guiding me and providing for me and my family's needs during that difficult time. I also appreciate my reader's words of encouragement, understanding, and concern. You all have helped me get this far. I am grateful that despite the struggle, I completed the novel according to my timeline. In case you did not know, this novel is Book 2 of the Wright Family Series. You can read the other books by searching for the titles below. Book 1: Mommy, Where Is Daddy?

"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
[WARNING: THIS CHAPTER IS R-18. IT CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS] Kenzie was feeling pampered, bathing in warm water that complemented with special salt from the Dead Sea, and scented with lavender oil. 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
