2024-11-30 15:05:32Suddenly, 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! There you are,” Phoebe exclaimed, hurrying toward the stairs.
Kate glared at Fredrick who was practically chasing down the unwanted visitor.
“She wouldn’t leave,” he explained apologetic

The Billionaire I Married The Emergency
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

“Welcome back, Mr and Mrs DaCosta,” Fredrick greeted them cheerfully when they got home.“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

When they arrived in Berlin, Kate sought out a celebrity barber through the recommendation of a social media influencer whom she followed online.George, the Senegalese-born barber came to the hotel where Tony and Kate were staying and he gave Tony a trendy fade haircut and reshaped his beard.By the time George was done with Tony, he looked 33 instead of 53.“My goodness! I barely recognize myself,” Tony laughed when he finally got a look at himself in the bathroom mirror.“Is that a good thing?” Kate asked him hopefully.“It is,” Tony answered happily.“I believe my work here is done,” George said and bowed deeply. Kate laughed and clapped her hands excitedly.“Do you have a hairstylist?” George asked Kate.“No, I style my hair by myself,” she said proudly.“Wow. I didn’t know affluent people did anything by themselves,” George la

When she woke the next morning, she felt refreshed and Tony seemed cheerful. He suggested that they should take photos for their pregnancy announcement right away, and Kate agreed.After having a quick breakfast in their suite, they got dressed for their homemade photoshoot. Kate appointed herself as the stylist and creative director.While Tony dressed in a beige dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and tan pants, Kate wore a flowy off-white chiffon robe tied beneath her bosom. She wore matching cotton shorts and let her fall straight down her back.“We’re going to take the photos in front of the window,” Kate told Tony. “I’ll set my phone camera on the dressing table and we’ll pose on the chair. The curtains will be drawn to create some sort of silhouette.”“Aye, boss,” Tony answered her jokingly.“OK, let’s do it,” Kate said excitedly.She put a chair in front of the wi

That dinner marked a significant turning point in their relationship as a family. They had breakfast and dinner together as often as possible and spent quality time with each other whenever they could.Athena spoiled Nathan with all kinds of posh toys, while Adonis coached the baby on how to take his first steps at the age of ten months.When the Thanksgiving season rolled in, they packed up and traveled to Brazil to spend it with the family matriarch.Adele DaCosta was beyond surprised when she saw them when they arrived in the plush DaCosta residence in Cidade-ilha. She was especially shocked to see how friendly Athena and Adonis were with Kate, because she’d been told about how much they despised her not too long ago.“How did you make this happen?” Adele asked Tony discreetly in Portuguese as they made their way into the family home.“I didn’t do anything, she did,” Tony responded with a knowing smile. &ldquo

The result of Tony’s brain mapping test came in the following week as scheduled. He was so afraid to open the envelope, so he went to meet Kate in the game room where she and Nanny Ella were playing with Nathan.As soon as Nathan saw Tony, he crawled on his hand and knees toward his father, giggling happily.Tony scooped up the baby and blew raspberries on his neck. Nathan laughed excitedly, flailing his arms and legs as he did.“My little pumpkin,” Tony gushed and kissed Nathan. “What have you been up to, my boy?”Nathan responded in baby talk, displaying one tiny white tooth in his lower gum. He tried to grab at the envelope in Tony’s hand but Tony wouldn’t let him.“What’s that?” Kate asked Tony.“It’s the test result,” he answered.Kate’s eyes widened. “What does it say?” She asked.“I don’t know. I haven’t look
The Billionaire I Married Healing
Kate spent the night beside Tony in the hospital, while Charles, Adonis, and Athena returned to the DaCosta mansion. They explained the evening’s incident as a robbery attempt gone wrong.The police grilled the caterers and the rest of the vendors contracted for the party to find out how Marshall managed to get himself employed for the gig. They denied ever meeting Marshall or employing him for the job.Investigations later revealed that he’d found out about the party from Penelope whom he’d reached out to shortly after Agne’s remembrance. He’d told her that he’d been out of the country for years but was back now, and would love to see Agne’s grave and pay his last respects.Penelope, a hopeless romantic, decided to help Marshall find closure by telling him to show up to the DaCosta residence as a waiter. He’d somehow managed to slip in with the caterers and even worked the party, while bidding his time to strike.
The Billionaire I Married Closure
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
The Billionaire I Married Day of Reckoning
Coming out of the woods was like stepping into another dimension. 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. Adonis stepped into the chapel and switched on the lights.The chapel was immediately flooded wi

With shivering limbs, Kate walked toward the woods ahead of her captor. 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
The Billionaire I Married The After Party
As a treat to their special guests, Kate and Tony organized a more intimate party in the sunroom. 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. Her eyes were already scanning the crowd to find the likely culprit who might be responsible
