To his surprise, he saw two maids rolling two big suitcases behind them toward the front door. Kate had just descended the stairs and she was dressed to go out.
“Where are you going?” Tony asked her.
“To Wyoming,” Kate answered and tried to walk past Tony, but he stopped her.
“What do you think you’re doing?” He asked Kate. “Why are you going to Wyoming? When did we discuss this?”
Kate pinned him with a hard stare.
“I beg your pardon, Mr DaCosta? What was that?” She asked icily. “Do I need your permission to visit my family?”
“You know that’s not what I meant,” Tony said patiently. “Why are you suddenly leaving?”

“Hi, I was wondering when you would finally get around to calling me,” Tony said jovially on the phone.“I’m sorry I forgot to call you as soon as we landed,” said Kate. “My folks threw a small welcome party for me.”“That’s lovely,” said Tony. “I’ll throw one for you too when you get back.”Kate chuckled. Hearing Tony’s voice made her want to be with him right now and snuggle into his arms. Gosh, she missed him so much!“I miss you,” he said softly as if he heard Kate’s thoughts.“I miss you too,” she confessed.“Dare I ask when you’ll come back home?” He ventured tentatively.“I’ve not even been gone for twenty-four hours, Tony.

“No,” John said flatly after listening to Kate’s proposal.“Why not?” she asked him.“We all know it’s only a matter of time before those nosey church people sniff out the truth,” Kate continued desperately. “Let’s be proactive and get out of here before that happens.”“No, Kate,” John said firmly. “I will not run away from my home like a fugitive. I did not commit a crime and neither did you. Let them decide whatever they want. I’m man enough to face the outcome of their decision headlong.”Kate sighed and looked at her mother for support. Laura simply shrugged and returned her attention to the scrambled eggs she was cooking on the stove.“Daddy, I don’t want you to be humiliated by those people because of me,” Kate tried again.“We can move back to Cheyenne or even go to Sheridan,” she suggested. “You can have

“I’m sorry, Dad. I was wrong to speak to you so rudely without trying to see things from your angle,” Chris said apologetically when he returned to the kitchen.“That’s alright,” John said graciously. “I understand your reason for saying all of that stuff to me. I don’t hold your words against you. All is forgiven.”“Thanks,” said Chris. He looked at Kate and said, “I’m sorry for insulting you. I was concerned for your well-being but I went about it the wrong way.”“Thanks for saying that,” Kate responded calmly. “Apology accepted.”“So, are you happy with the old guy?” Chris asked carefully. “Is he treating you right?”“Yes, to both questions,” Kate responded with a smile. “And to your previous question, the answer is no. Tony and I are not having sex.”“What?” Laura gasped.

Kate refused to go to church with her parents the following morning. They didn’t bother to try to convince her to go with them, not after that disturbing showdown with Lady Ann the day before.Shortly after her parents left, Tony called her on the phone and they spoke for nearly an hour.He told Kate that he had spoken to his children concerning their attitude toward her, and they’d promised to be nice to her.Kate didn’t believe for one second that Athena and Adonis would suddenly become nice to her just because their father asked them to. Either Tony was stretching the truth or his children were deceiving him.He told her that Phoebe Wilcox’s father had invited them to dinner to celebrate his 60th birthday.“Will Duchess and her gang of vicious vipers be there?” Kate asked Tony.“It’s very likely,” Tony answered honestly.“Then I’m not going,” Kate de

“Wendy’s mother?” Kate finally spoke. She couldn’t believe what she’d heard.“That’s right, my dear,” John confirmed.“Jennifer Carson sold us out to Lady Ann and the church board. Unfortunately, when she was invited to the meeting to testify in front of the panel, she lost her nerves and denied everything she told them.”“Oh, my goodness,” Rita gasped in surprise. “Why would she do that?”“Jennifer is an incurable gossip,” said Laura. “She does a lot more than sewing dresses in that accursed shop of hers. She never knows when to keep her mouth shut.”“Why would Wendy tell her mother about what was happening here, when she knew her mother had loose lips?” Chris asked irritably.“We can’t blame Wendy for what her mother did,” said Kate.“Maybe not. But what we can do is stop telling Wendy our b

“Kate, you’re back!” Tony exclaimed excitedly when he saw her at the doorway of his study.Kate’s eyes immediately went to his lips. There was no sign of lipstick stain there. He had probably wiped it off while Duchess was giving her unsolicited farewell speech.“What was she doing here?” Kate asked Tony coldly.His excitement dimmed instantly. “You mean Duchess? She came to drop off a birthday gift for Adonis.”“Wasn’t his birthday last week?” Kate asked suspiciously.“Yes. Both Duchess and her daughter, Venice, were out of town then. Venice has given him a gift already, so Duchess came with hers today.”“And where is it?” Kate inquired.Tony stepped aside and pointed at a small black box on his desk. The little box was tied up with a silver ribbon.“It’s the key to a Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship motorbike,” Tony expl

Kate went to her closet to change her clothes. She became slightly annoyed that Tony hadn’t come upstairs to check on her.Did Duchess satisfy him so much that he wasn’t interested in being around his wife anymore? Kate hoped not. That thought irritated her seriously.“Stop being jealous, Kate,” she told herself aloud as she brushed her hair in front of her dressing mirror. “Tony would never cheat on me. He’s not the type.”“How would you know?” Her conscience asked her.“Alright, that’s it!” Kate snapped and dropped her hairbrush on the dressing table. “I’m going downstairs to find him. Let’s iron out this wrinkle once and for all.”As Kate descended the stairs, she heard a woman’s voice speaking rapidly. The voice didn’t sound familiar, so it got Kate curious.When she descended the last flight of stairs, she saw a young moc

“Your boyfriend is Matt Carter?” Kate asked in shock.“Yes,” Wendy answered confidently. “And before you go off on me, I know he used to date your husband’s daughter, but they’ve broken up, OK?”“Is that what he told you?” Kate asked.“Yes,” said Wendy. “They broke up right after they returned from her birthday trip in Saint Tropez. Trust me, he’s single and I’m his girl.”Kate wasn’t keeping up with Athena’s love life, but this turn of events didn’t sit well with her at all. It was such an uncomfortable coincidence that her best friend was now dating Athena’s ex-boyfriend. It was indeed unsettling.“That’s kind of weird though,” said Kate. “I mean, of all the people you could have bumped into at that party, it had to be Matt Carter.”Wendy’s expression changed. “What do you mean by

The Billionaire I Married A Romantic Night
Tony’s birthday dinner was an elaborate affair unlike what Kate expected. Even though both of them were the only diners, Chef Yuto and his team who came with him treated the DaCostas to a delectable 5-course dinner.The patio had been decorated with strings of accent lights that cast a soft glow around them. Fresh flowers with green leaves were braided along the arches and pillars that surrounded the patio.Long white candles on gold-colored candlesticks lined the table from one end to the other. There were also fresh flowers with green leaves artfully arranged on the table.To top it off, Tony had invited an award-winning violinist to serenade them as they enjoyed their exquisite meals. It was indeed the stuff fairytales were made of.“This has been the most romantic night I’ve ever experienced,” Kate told Tony. “It feels surreal.”“That’s the whole idea,” Tony said with a pleased smile. &ldquo
The Billionaire I Married The Cruise
Just before leaving the house for the yacht cruise, Tony received an email from Athena wishing him happy birthday. The email also included a non-apology about the scandal with zero accountability for her actions.“Well, that’s disappointing,” Tony commented after reading the email.“What is?” Kate asked him. He showed her the email and she too was disappointed by the content.“Don’t allow this to spoil your day,” Kate said sympathetically.“It won’t,” Tony said confidently.Tucking his phone away in his pocket, he joined Kate, Nanny Ella, and baby Nathan in the back seat of the glossy red Cadillac Escalade-V. Their bodyguard, Philip, was seating in front beside the driver.Once the family was settled in, the driver started the car and drove smoothly out of the DaCosta Estate. They were followed by a Range Rover Sport carrying the second bodyguard, Rayce, and two domestic staff

“Did you mean what you said about us taking a trip out of town?” Kate asked Tony as they headed towards the sunroom together.“Yes,” he answered with a smile. “We don’t have to travel too far. I just want us to have a change of scenery for a few days and fully recover from this madness that my stupid children brought on us.”Kate chuckled but sobered up almost immediately. “I hope you don’t intend to actually disown them. Please, don’t let your relationship with them collapse to that extent.”“I won’t disown them,” Tony said sagely. “I’m just so disappointed in them… I don’t have the right words to describe just how hurt I am. They put their emotions over family values. What kind of people are they? Athena did not even think to apologize for what she did. Instead, she was hellbent on defending her vindictive actions.”Kate could feel Tony&rsq
The Billionaire I Married The Scandal
The days following the phot leak were nothing short of crazy. Both the mainstream media and social media platforms dished out multiple hot takes on the matter.Kate was labeled as the cunning young woman who seduced an elderly billionaire to marry her while pregnant with another man’s child. Tony was called a senile old man who let lust blind him until he fell for the conniving Jezebel he married.Some press people even had the audacity to camp outside of the DaCosta property, shouting out questions to nobody in particular. Tony eventually called the police to get rid of them after enduring the madness for two days.He’d also summoned his children to come to the house for an important family meeting, but they’d both been conveniently out of the country on some extended business trips.Kate’s family called her as soon as the news reached them and she assured them that she was OK even though she wasn’t.

Kate’s family returned to their homes five days later. It had been a rather enjoyable period for Kate. But with everyone gone, she was forced to confront her struggle of bonding with her child.Athena and Adonis have been noticeably absent from the DaCosta mansion since their last cameo appearance (according to Tony). Their absence didn’t bring Kate relief, but instead, made her edgy.She could feel it in her bones that the siblings were up to no good. Additionally, the possibility that Duchess may already know about Nathan, bothered Kate seriously.“I think we should travel to Brazil soon, so that Mȃe can finally meet our baby,” Kate suggested at dinner one evening.Tony gave a curious look. “What’s the hurry? The poor boy is barely a month old. He’s not fit to go on such a long trip.”“I’m not saying we should go right now,” Kate argued.Tony chuckled. “A trip abroad s

Kate’s party was a fun gathering comprising of her family and a surprise visit from her Aunt Lauretta. She was a younger, taller version of Kate’s mother.“I was mad as hell when I heard you got married and didn’t invite me,” she told Kate as soon as she was welcomed into the DaCosta home.“But when I found out who you married, my anger disappeared instantly,” Lauretta continued brightly. “You have all of my blessings, darling.”Kate giggled. “Thank you, Aunt Lauretta,” she said happily. “And thank you for coming to my party on such short notice. This is the best gift I’ve gotten today.”“You flatter me,” Lauretta laughed. “So, where is your baby?”Kate’s mood sank. She hated that she always felt this way each time someone asked about her baby.“He’s taking a nap upstairs,” Kate answered. “And speaking of

“About time,” Tony said in response to Kate’s request for a dialogue. He led her to his study, sat quietly behind his desk and waited for her to begin.“First of all, I want to apologize to you for lying to you and going to confront Adonis,” Kate started. “And second, I am sorry for putting us in a very embarrassing situation in front of your son.”Tony simply nodded his head to acknowledge Kate’s apologies.“With that said, let me be very clear on this, Tony. I have never ever cheated on you and I never will,” Kate declared sincerely. “Everything Adonis accused me of were outright lies.”“Did you ever give him a reason to think that you were interested in him?” Tony asked her.“No. Quite the opposite,” Kate stated firmly. “He made a pass at me the first week I came to this house, and I made it clear to him that I would not take it lightly if
