“Thank you, old boy,” said Tony. “It feels good to be back home.”
“I agree,” said Kate.
When they got into Kate’s suite, Tony saw that the adjoining door was open.
“It seems someone has been in here during our absence,” he said.
“No, that was me,” Kate told him. “I went in there yesterday morning to look for you.”
“Oh… right,” said Tony. “I must have forgotten to lock the door the night before.”
“You don’t need to keep locking the door,” said Kate. “We should both have free access to each other’s suite, don’t you think?”
“Are you sure?” Tony asked.
“Yes, I’m sure, Tony. We don’t need that much privacy between us anymore,” said Kate.

Tony kissed Kate too. Her hands roamed all over his chest and crept up his neck. She pressed her bosom against his body and let out a loud moan.“I want you,” she murmured against his lips.“Kate, we can’t do this,” Tony whispered and ended the kiss. He held Kate at arm's length and looked into her eyes. What he saw there was raw desire.“I can tell you want me too, Tony. So, what’s the problem?” said Kate.“Yes, you’re right. I want you as much as you want me,” Tony admitted.“But?” Kate prompted him.“But I promised not to get intimate with you until after our baby is born,” Tony answered.“That’s like four months away!” Kate snapped irritably.“Sorry,” Tony said softly.Kate scoffed impatiently and shook herself free from Tony’s grip. She went to the bed and sat heavily on it.Tony follo

“What the heck was that about?” Kate asked Tony after Athena left. “Why didn’t you say anything?”“To what end?” Tony asked with a sigh.“Excuse me?” Kate snapped. “Your daughter thinks that I’ve been messing around with other men while I’m married to you and you don’t think that’s a problem?”“We both know that’s not true. That’s all that matters,” said Tony.“No, Tony. That’s not all that matters,” Kate said sharply.“Athena was yelling loud enough for all the domestic staff to hear. Now, everyone will think I’m a slut who married you for your money.”“Fine,” Tony said impatiently. “I’ll call all of them here and announce to them that you’re not a slut and you didn’t marry me for my money. Is that OK with you?”Kate frowned at him. “What

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?”“B

“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

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.

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.

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 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
