2024-11-29 15:00:38When Kate got home, Fredrick told her that Tony was in the library. She marched there and found him reclining on his favorite wing backed chair, reading Twelfth Night by Shakespeare.
“Oh, you’re back,” he said cheerfully when he saw Kate. However, when he noticed her sour countenance, he became worried.
“What happened?” He asked her.
“Duchess happened!” Kate replied irritably. “She invited me to that dumb tea party just to humiliate me.”
Kate went on to tell Tony everything that happened during the high tea, including the rude comments made by Penelope Green, and the general atmosphere of pure disrespect in the gathering.
“I am so sorry you experienced that,” Tony said sympathetically. “I’ll have a word with Duchess about it tomorrow.”
“No, please don’t,” Kate said quickly.
“Why not?” Tony asked her. “She owes you an

“This is amazing…” Kate said in awe.“I agree,” Tony said while watching her with an indulgent smile on his face.When they landed in Toronto, they were picked up by a chauffeur-driven Porsche Taycan.“When did you arrange all of these?” Kate asked Tony as they were driven to the restaurant.“While you were getting dressed,” he answered her with a smile.“You’re like a magician,” said Kate. “You snap your fingers and things happen.”Tony simply laughed. When they arrived at the restaurant, they were ushered in through the back entrance where the owner of the place was waiting to greet them.He led them through the kitchen and up to the second floor of the restaurant where a private dining room had been set up for Tony and Kate in the VIP lounge.After they were seated at their table, Kate leaned forward and whispered to Tony, “This is cra

Tony was livid after Athena left. He marched straight to his study to call Duchess on the phone and give her a piece of his mind.He was so angry that Kate could hear his voice through the closed door. She’d never heard him raise his voice on anyone like that before.When Tony came out of his study, he still looked irritated. Kate didn’t know whether to speak to him or just quietly head upstairs, so as not to annoy him further.“Sorry about that,” he said apologetically. “I promise you, if that woman ever comes near you again, I’ll have her arrested for harassment.”“Which woman? Your daughter?” Kate ventured.Tony chuckled and said, “Of course, not. I was talking about Duchess Ryland.”“I knew you were,” said Kate with a chuckle. And then her expression became sober.“Thank you for sticking up for me,” she said softly.“Don’t

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Kate. Maybe Tony had gone out for a walk like he did with his mother in Brazil. That must be it!Kate ran back into her suite to grab a coat. It was a cold morning and she didn’t want to catch a chill outside.She hurried downstairs and came face-to-face with Adonis. For once, his muscled chest was covered. He was dressed in a sweater under a black leather jacket and black corduroy pants.“Hello, Sugar Baby. Long time no see,” Adonis said flatly.“Good morning, Adonis,” Kate greeted him calmly.“Where is my father?” He asked her.“I don’t know,” she answered.“I beg your pardon?” said Adonis.“Kate!

Kate had never freaked out this much in her life. She screamed Tony’s name and shook him violently to no avail. Adonis yelled at her to stop but she ignored him.Kate’s wailing eventually drew the attention of the domestic staff, who all came running to find out what was going on.With their help, Tony was carried out of the mansion into Adonis’ weird-looking Bugatti. According to him, it would take the ambulance forever to arrive at the house, so driving Tony to the hospital was faster.Unfortunately, the vehicle was too cramped to fit Tony in the back seat.“This is a very impractical car,” Kate complained. “Why on earth would you buy such a tiny vehicle that squishes its passenger inside?”“Well, forgive me for not considering using it for an emergency trip to the hospital when I bought it,” Adonis retorted sarcastically.“Ugh!” Kate groaned impatiently and asked the staff

Adonis’ phone rang again. He answered the call and said, “We’re sitting at the emergency unit.”“Who is that?” Kate asked him after he hung up.“Athena,” he answered without looking at Kate.His sister showed up just then, dressed casually in a hoodie, denim, and a pair of white sneakers. Her face was free of makeup, making her look much younger.“Where is he?” She asked Adonis.“In the emergency room,” he answered. “The doctors are still trying to revive him.”“I think you should call Doctor Maxwell and let him know what’s going on right now,” Kate suggested to Adonis.“He knows your dad’s medical history and he might provide some useful insights to those doctors in there,” she added.“How did you know Doctor Maxwell?” Adonis asked in surprise.“Do what she said,” Athena ordered

“What is it, Tony?” Kate asked fearfully.“I have a tumor in my brain,” Tony announced gravely.Kate gasped and covered her mouth with her palm. She withdrew her other hand from Tony’s and leaned back in her chair.“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it before,” Tony continued sadly. “I’ve been doing so well for months that I thought I was recovering.”“Oh, my goodness,” Kate gasped. “Tony, how could you keep something this serious a secret from me? Was this why you married me? So, you can die suddenly and make me a young widow?”“No, Kate. Believe me, that was not my intention,” Tony explained.“Do your children know about it?” Kate asked him.“No, and I do not intend to tell them,” Tony said firmly.“Why not?” Kate asked.“Because they would convince the board of directors

Kate went back to sit on the chair and faced Tony with a serious expression on her face.“What now?” She asked him softly.“Now, I want to do everything humanly possible to stay alive and be with you,” Tony replied tenderly. “Please, don’t leave me Kate. I don’t want to be alone anymore.”Kate’s heart broke when she saw how upset Tony was. His eyes had glazed over with unshed tears.Kate took Tony’s hand in hers again and stroked it gently. Even though it had been shocking to find out about his medical condition, the thought of leaving him hadn’t crossed her mind.She may not love him, but she cared about him very much and she wasn’t going to abandon him in such a vulnerable state.“I won’t leave you,” Kate assured Tony. “You are a good person, but flawed like everyone else. That’s no excuse for me to leave you.”Tony smiled and

We don’t need that much privacy between us anymore,” said Kate.

“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.

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.

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
