The Farewell
Last Updated:
2024-11-14 15:01:02After dinner, Chris and John helped Kate carry her bags into Tony’s rental Chevy truck. They’d already taken photos together with Laura’s mobile phone, thanks to Wendy the unofficial photographer.
When it was time to head to the airport, Kate joined Tony in the back seat of the truck while Charles sat on the passenger side beside the driver. Her parents and Wendy followed them in their car, while Chris and his family returned to their home in Prime Valley.
“This feels surreal, doesn’t it?” Tony said conversationally.
“It does,” Kate agreed. She felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension about this next phase of her wild adventure.
“I know this might sound a bit strange, but I admire your bravery,” said Tony.
Kate chuckled softly and said, “I’m not sure bravery is the right word to describe what I’ve just done. I don’t quite have a word for it yet, but it surely i

To Kate’s surprise, instead of heading to the check-in counter, she found herself following the men through another exit toward the hangar.“Where are we going?” She asked Tony suspiciously.“To the hangar to board the jet,” Tony answered casually.“The jet? What jet?” Kate asked in confusion.“My jet,” Tony answered calmly.Kate was stunned. They reached the hangar and behold, a white Cessna Citation M2 jet with ‘DaCosta’ written on it was right there, waiting for them. The porter loaded their bags in the jet and left.A pretty blond lady who was the air hostess was waiting at the foot of the steps to welcome them. Charles went ahead of Tony and Kate.“Shall we?” Tony asked Kate softly.She simply nodded and let Tony escort her into the aircraft.“Good evening, Mr DaCosta. Welcome on board,” the air hostess greeted him with a wide
The Billionaire I Married The Confrontation
Kate couldn’t be bothered to admire the opulent mansion as Tony led her upstairs to his quarter. Her mind was troubled by the disturbing scene that had just played out downstairs.Tony led her into a huge suite that was furnished like a Renaissance palace with gold-framed furniture, large oil paintings on the walls, and green plants in big flower pots around the room. There was also an ornate fireplace which gave the room a true vintage vibe.An arched entryway led to the bedroom where a king-sized bed stood. There was a dressing table on one side of the bedroom and a walk-in closet on the other.“This is my suite,” Tony informed Kate calmly. “But it will be your bedroom from now on. I’ll ask a maid or two to clear out my things from here and move them to Agne’s room over there.”He pointed at a door beside the fireplace. Kate had thought that the door led to the bathroom.“Who is Agnes?” She as
The Billionaire I Married The Resistance
Kate wasted no time in unzipping one of her bags and bringing out her most comfy pajama set and her toothbrush. She went into the bathroom and found herself in the most luxurious bathroom she’d ever seen.Everything here was done in white and gold. The shower stall with its marble tiles, was big enough to fit four people comfortably. The boat-shaped bathtub looked like a mini swimming pool.“I could live in here,” Kate laughed to herself.After a deliciously relaxing hot shower and brushing her teeth, Kate got dressed and returned to the bedroom. She was so exhausted that as soon as she got on the extremely comfortable bed, she fell asleep.She was woken by the sound of her phone ringing. It was morning already and she couldn’t figure out where her blasted phone was ringing from.Kate dragged herself out of bed and traced the shrill sound to her purse which she’d carelessly tossed on the ottoman at the foot of the bed

As soon as Kate got to her assigned suite, she heard a knock from Agnes’ bedroom door. She nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound, but then she remembered that Tony had spent the night there.“Come in,” she said, hearing Tony unlock the door.When he showed up, he was wearing a black silk dressing robe over pastel-colored pajamas and soft slippers similar to the one Kate was wearing. He noticed her distress immediately and hurried towards her.“What is it, Kate? Are you alright? Did something happen? Is the baby fine?” Tony asked almost breathlessly.“Everything is not fine,” Kate confessed on the verge of tears. “And the baby is the reason why I’m in this situation, so I don’t care if it’s fine or not!”“Please, don’t say that,” Tony told her tenderly. “What happened.”“I woke up very hungry, so I decided to go downstairs and grab
The Billionaire I Married The Showdown
While Tony showered in the bathroom, Kate continued eating and wondered why Tony wasn’t willing to tell her more about Agnes. Maybe he hadn’t gotten over her death as he claimed in Sommerville.After finishing her sandwich, Kate drank the orange juice that came with the meal in three gulps. She felt full and didn’t think she needed to participate in the family breakfast meeting.Maybe she should tell Tony that she didn’t feel so good so that he’d let her stay up here while he dined with his kids.“You’re not a coward,” Kate whispered to herself. She couldn’t hide in here forever.Tony emerged from the bedroom dressed in a mint sweatshirt and joggers combination with a pair of white sneakers. This casual outfit made him look young and attractive, and Kate was surprised that she actually found him appealing.“How do I look?” Tony asked her playfully.“Youthful,” Kate said immediately and bit her lip in regret. She hoped Tony didn’t feel insult

Kate could barely eat anything after that disturbing showdown with Athena and Adonis. Tony on the other hand ate his English breakfast heartily as if nothing was amiss.Kate guessed that he was already so used to clashing with his children, that it didn’t bother him anymore. It bothered Kate though. The thought of having a baby in this chaotic environment disturbed her too.Fredrick showed up in the dining room, dressed in a suit that Kate now believed to be his uniform. His bald head shone like an oiled egg.“Good morning, sir,” he greeted Tony and then turned to Kate and said, “Good morning, ma’am.”“Good morning, Fredrick,” they both answered him.“Sir, Martha informed me that you would like to have a meeting with all the staff at 10 a.m.,” said Fredrick.“That’s right,” Tony confirmed. “Please summon all of them and let them meet us in the sunroom.”

“I would like to get back to work soon,” Kate informed Tony.He looked at her with an expression of confusion on his handsome face. “I don’t understand. Why do you want to work?”It was Kate’s turn to look confused. “Why not? I’m a professional pastry chef and I enjoyed my job very much before I lost it.”“I don’t doubt that at all, but I don’t think you should work just yet,” said Tony. “You’re pregnant, remember?”Kate rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, I am pregnant, not handicapped. I can’t sit around all day doing nothing.”“You don’t have to,” Tony said with a grin. “There are tons of relaxing activities you can engage in to keep you busy every day. You could take on painting, gardening, or even learning a musical instrument. There’d be no spare time for you to be bored. There’s even a library here
The Billionaire I Married Duchess
Together, Kate and Tony went to the living room where an elegantly dressed middle-aged woman was waiting for them. The woman’s hair was styled in a stylish chin-length bouffant and her mocha skin shone like brass.The woman’s classic beauty reminded Kate of Dominique Deveraux in the Dynasty TV series. When she spotted Kate and Tony, she rose to her feet, lips parted in wonder.“So, it’s true,” she said in awe.“Good morning, Duchess,” Tony said dryly. “To what do we owe this unexpected visit?”Duchess appraised Kate with her eyes from head to toe before responding to Tony’s question.“Aren’t you going to introduce the young lady to me?” She asked.Tony sighed and turned to Kate. “This is a friend of the family. Her name is Duchess Ryland.”“Hello, Miss Ryland,” Kate greeted her politely.“And you are?” Duchess asked

As soon as Duchess saw Kate approaching, she rose to her feet and smiled broadly. She was dressed impeccably as before and her makeup was flawless as usual.“Good afternoon, Mrs DaCosta,” she greeted Kate formally. “Thank you for agreeing to see me.”Kate wasn’t having any of the other woman’s fake congeniality.“What can I do for you?” She asked Duchess flatly.Duchess chuckled and said, “Well, I deserved that. But please, allow me to express my most sincere apologies for how I conducted myself the last time I was here. It was not my intention to insult you.”“Yet, you did,” said Kate.“I am very sorry about that,” Duchess apologized somberly. “I have also spoken to your husband earlier today and he has forgiven me.”“So?” Kate demanded with a raised eyebrow.“Darling, can we please bury the hatchet between us?&rdq

“Now, I see why you married her so quickly,” Tony’s mother said with a smile. “She is a very beautiful girl.”“There’s more to Kate than her beauty,” Tony told his mother.“I don’t doubt that,” she replied and winked at Kate. Tony was right. His mother did have a great sense of humor.“Mȃe, allow me to officially introduce my wife to you,” Tony began dramatically. “Meet Katherine Analise DaCosta, formerly known as Kate Harrison.”“Your names are as beautiful as you are,” said Tony’s mother.“Thank you, ma’am,” Kate replied brightly.“Kate, this is my mother, Senhora Adele DaCosta,” said Tony with a flourish.“Please, call me Adele,” said Tony’s mother. “We’re family now, so there’s no need for titles.”“Of course,” said Kate.&ldquo

Kate woke up in the morning feeling very refreshed. To her surprise, Tony wasn’t in bed. She assumed he was in the bathroom but after waiting for several minutes and not hearing any sound from there, she called out his name.There was no response. She got out of bed and went to knock on the bathroom door. Still no answer.Kate went into the bathroom and noticed that the shower stall was wet and smelled of the same soap she’d used last night.She wondered where Tony must have gone to. After freshening up, Kate went back to the bedroom to get dressed.The sun was already rising and Kate suspected it was going to be a warm morning. She put on a short-sleeved cotton dress and her leather sandals.Kate stood in front of the dressing mirror and silently debated what to do with her hair. It was overdue for washing but she wasn’t ready to deal with it right now.She untied her hair and fluffed it out with her fingers. It was the be

She opened the big black double doors and let them into an absolutely stunning front room.Some domestic staff showed up to greet Tony and Kate.

The old woman led them past the living room to a wide corridor with doors on both sides.She turned to face them and said something to Tony. He nodded and responded to her.&ldq

Fortunately for them, they didn’t run into Athena or Adonis during their brief stopover at the house.Tony had already made all the arrangements for their trip, so when they got to the airport, his private jet was waiting for them. They boarded the jet immediately and within minutes, they were in the air.Kate savored this experience. She felt like she was in a dream, a beautiful, extravagant dream. She took a few selfies with her phone and sent them to Wendy via email.Meanwhile, Tony was busy on his laptop, sending and responding to emails. He made a few calls to his assistant, his lawyers, and his human resource manager.They had lunch together and watched a wild life documentary afterwards. Halfway through the flight, Kate took a nap and woke up two hours later with a severe morning sickness.She spent the rest of the flight going back and forth between

Fredrick greeted them warmly at the front door and ushered them into a silver Bentley that was waiting in front of the mansion.“He’s not getting fired, is he?” Kate asked Tony softly in the backseat. She didn’t want the driver to overhear her.“I don’t want to,” Tony admitted. “He’s practically a member of my family. He has been here since my children were little.”“Do you trust him?” Kate asked Tony.“More than I trust the others,” he answered.Kate nodded and relaxed in her seat. That was that then. Fredrick would not lose his job. She couldn’t have that on her conscience too.They drove up to Willowbrook where one of Tony’s restaurants was located. When they arrived, the head waiter showed up promptly to take them to their table in a secluded VIP section. It was curtained off and unavailable to anyone else as long as Tony and Kate were there.
The Billionaire I Married The Morning After
Tony succeeded in getting through the three hours of lying down beside Kate and not jumping her bones. The last time he was this attracted to a woman was many years ago, on the same evening he met Agnes.The sun was already rising in the sky and Kate was still asleep. Tony wondered if he should leave now or wait for her to wake up.She was sleeping on her right side, facing him. He studied her peaceful face, admiring those perfectly curved eyebrows. Her full eyelashes spread out above her cheek like a curved hand fan.Her nostrils flared slightly as she inhaled deeply in her sleep. Tony’s eyes traveled down to her lips. Hmm… would he ever get to kiss them?Kate’s eyes fluttered open and they met Tony’s. He became a bit embarrassed to be caught staring, so he smiled and quickly started to get up.“Good morning,” Kate said sleepily and yawned.“Good morning,” said Tony. “I only just woke u

“The police are on their way,” Tony announced as he came to join her in the living room. “I took an extra precaution by binding Bryan’s arms with a pillowcase. If he wakes up before the police get here, he won’t be able to get up.”“Who is he?” Kate asked Tony.“Bryan? He’s one of our oldest staff,” Tony explained. “Agnes hired him specifically because of his exceptional culinary skills. One of her favorite dishes was oxtail stew, and no one else made it like Bryan did. That’s one of his specialties.”“I see…” said Kate. “So, he was going to carve up my head tonight and make stew out of it for Agnes’ spirit?”“I am deeply sorry about this,” Tony apologized. “I’ll fire all the staff in the morning. I can’t trust any of them after this incident.”“Thirteen people shouldn’t los
