Adonis ignored Kate’s outburst and locked the door behind him. He put the key in his pocket and turned around to face Kate. He was smirking now.
“What exactly do you think you’re doing?” Kate asked him suspiciously.
“Let’s just cut to the chase and do what you came here for, Kate,” Adonis said confidently. “I know you’ve wanted me from Day-One, Kate. I’ve caught you checking me out too many times not to know what you want. Let’s just do it now and get it out of the way.”
“You bastard!” Kate sneered and swung her hand upward to slap Adonis.
He caught her wrist before her palm could connect with his left cheek. With a vice-like grip, he pulled her to him until she was crushed against his chest.
“I’m going to be the one to tame you, you wild minx

“I’m not going to keep sneaking around with you, Kate,” he said seriously as if he meant what he was saying. “It’s time for my father to know the truth about us.”“Stop it!” Kate screamed at Adonis in frustration. “I know you hate me, but to try and hurt your father like this, is beyond cruel. Stop it.”“No, Kate. What you are doing is cruel,” Adonis countered. “How can you keep deceiving my father like this? Have you no conscience?”“What is going on here?” Tony cut in. “Why are the two of you speaking in riddles?”“Nothing is going on,” Kate answered him hastily. “I came up here to talk to Adonis about his behavior earlier in front of my parents, but instead of listening to me, he dragged me into his suite and tried to force himself on me.”Adonis roared with laughter.“Seriously?” He aske

Kate and Tony’s relationship became strained yet again. While they were in the presence of her family, they acted all lovey-dovey, but when they were returned to their suites, they acted like acquaintances.It didn’t help that Adonis refused to double-down on his claims of having an affair with Kate. Even though Tony didn’t quite believe that to be true, he was a firm believer of the saying, ‘There is no smoke without fire.’The day before Kate’s birthday, she was alone in her bedroom with the baby when she got a video call from Adele DaCosta. She had been notified of the baby’s birth previously but she hadn’t seen him.“Let me see my newest grandchild,” Adele said excitedly. Mama Gabriela was standing beside her with an eager look on her wrinkled face.Kate hesitated. She wondered if Tony had already informed his mother about the baby’s appearance.“He is asleep right now,&rdq

“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

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

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

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.

“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

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.

As Tony had predicted, his injury wasn’t very serious. He was wheeled into surgery to have the bullet removed before getting transferred to a private ward to recover.When Kate and the others piled into his room to see him, he was very coherent and in high spirits.“Any news on that lunatic that tried to kill me?” He asked Charles.“The police have him cuffed to his bed,” Charles responded. “Once he’s discharged, he’ll be hauled off to jail where he belongs. Kidnap, attempted murder, and possession of an unlicensed firearm would keep him there for a long time.”“Is anyone finally going to tell me who that man is?” Athena asked.Tony exchanged a worried glance with Charles before looking at Adonis who looked dazed. Kate was sitting beside Tony on his bed with his fingers intertwined with hers.“Well?” Athena demanded.Tony sighed wearily and said, “I wo

Kate’s family and the rest of the party guests were milling around behind a police barricade.When they saw two gurneys being carried to the waiting ambulances with Tony on one of them, everyone went into a frenzy. Athena broke through the barricade and ran towards her father.“Daddy, are you OK?” She screamed frantically. “What happened? You’re bleeding. We heard gunshots. Who is that man?”“It’s alright, darling. I’m fine,” Tony assured her but his voice came out slurred.“But what happened? What were you all doing in the woods?” Athena demanded.“Give him a break, Athena. I’ll explain everything to you later,” Adonis said sharply.She glared at him and asked, “What the hell happened?”While that exchange was going on, Kate was getting hugged by her family who wanted

As Marshall continued his walk toward the chapel door, Kate crept out of her hiding place while still crouching. He heard her coming and fired in her direction.The bullet whizzed past Kate and shattered the middle of the wooded pillar that had been her hideout only seconds ago. The next thing she heard was a grunt as Tony launched himself at Marshall and they both landed on the floor.A fierce wrestling match ensued in the dark. Marshall fired his pistol again and the bullet punctured a hole in the chapel roof. In the tussle, Tony somehow managed to knock the gun out of his opponent’s hand.“You came back for a rematch, didn’t you?” Tony asked and planted his fist in Marshall’s cheek.“You bastard!” Marshall growled and kneed Tony’s belly, knocking the wind out of him.“Dad!” Adonis yelled from outside.“Hit the lights,” Tony yelled back.

They could hear the distant sound of the stringed quartet playing in the sunroom.Kate wondered how long it would take for Tony and the others to notice her prolonged absence. She hoped it would be soon, before this crazy man killed her for a crime she didn’t commit.“Walk faster,” he snarled at her from behind.“Where exactly are we going?” Kate asked him without looking back.“To Agnes’ gravesite,” Marshall responded. “I learned that it is located behind the small chapel that her hypocrite of a husband built in her honor. What a stupid clown he is.”“How did you know about the chapel?” Kate wondered.Marshall snickered. “I know a lot of things about the DaCostas. I’ve had over two decades to keep tabs on them.”Kate didn’t know if this conversation would be useful eve

It was cleverly lit with accent lights that looked like big fireflies.The Huckleys, the Wilcoxes, Kate’s family, Adonis and Athena along with their plus ones, and few of Tony’s close friends made the cut. Penelope and her clique of friends had since left with the rest of the other guests.“Thank you all for agreeing to spend this evening with me and my lovely wife,” Tony addressed everyone. “We have our guest house prepped and ready for anyone who choses to sleep over. I promise, you’ll find your suites very comfortable and refreshing.”“I can attest to that,” said Kate’s dad and everyone laughed.The party kicked off with exotic finger foods, cocktails and champagne, while a string quartet played some soulful music for some of the guests to waltz to.Kate and Tony joined in the waltz too.

The party was already in full swing when the Kate returned. Once Tony spotted her, he hurried to her side with a questioning look in his eyes.“Who was it?” He asked her.“Kevin,” Kate responded shortly. “He tried to blackmail me and wring some money out of me.”Tony became instantly furious. “How dare he come here? What on earth gave him the courage to come to our home?”Kate put a hand on Tony’s arm to calm him. “It’s alright, my love. He’s gone. I warned him not to do anything stupid or else I would have him arrested and charged accordingly.”Tony wasn’t satisfied with that response. “How did he know to show up today? Do you think it was a coincidence that he just happened to show up here tonight?”“Maybe not,” Kate responded speculatively.
