"As I see each photo, there's no sexual orientation that happened," Renzel said. "What's the fuss?" He asked. He's the most decent man in the family and very hardworking. 

"What is this?" Lady Regina showed the photo in the bar. 

"Why do you have these photos, Katarina?" Kenzo asked. Katarina was speechless. 

"It just happened that I was there in the bar," Katarina said. 

"The bar where my wife was nearly kidnapped and raped," Kenzo said. Victoria slid her hand under the table. It was shaking and when Kenzo held it under, it was cold. 

Katarina and others were surprised by what Kenzo said. 

"What do you mean, Kenzo?" Regina asked. "What do you mean kidnapped and raped?" 

They haven't started their lunch but it seems like everyone won't have an appetite to eat. 

"It was last night. She was injected with a party drug. We have medical tests and I already forward it to the police." 

"Katarina!" Regina raised her voice that made everyone shudder. "Did you know what's happening?" 

"G-grandma~~I~~" 

"Your sister was almost kidnapped and raped yet you are making fun of her just to prove that she's an adulterer?" 

Victoria was staring at her empty plate as tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was quiet. 

"With the evidence that you provided, Katarina. It'll be easy for us to find out the mastermind." Kenzo said. "I know you hate my wife so much, but it seems like you have something to do with what happened to her." 

"Watch your mouth, you useless man," Bailey exclaimed. "Don't you speak to my daughter like that?"

Kenzo scoffed. He didn't want anyone to bully his wife. It's okay if he was called useless and bullied to their heart's content, but not his wife. 

"Then, is it okay for you if someone trashes your other daughter's name?" he asked calmly. Bailey glared at Kenzo. "It's alright with me if you say things like I'm useless and broke and not enough for Victoria. But, I won't let anyone bully my wife." 

Victoria looked up at Kenzo in teary eyes. 

"That's enough now. Bailey, will you be fair enough for your daughters and listen to each side? I didn't raise you to be one-sided, Bailey." Regina scolded. "And you, Dana. Make sure that your evidence is not just these useless photos. There are always millions of words to describe in a single photo!" 

Kenzo wiped his wife's tears and kissed her forehead. 

"Do you want us to go?" He asked softly. 

"Kenzo, I understand your anger and worry, but let's start all over again. Let's eat." Lady Regina said as she held her granddaughter's hand. 

Victoria didn't want to look like a weak person so she wiped her tears and acted as nothing happened. 

Kenzo knew that it's hard for her to act that way. 

"Dear, let's just eat. Okay? We have a lot more to discuss." Regina said to calm her. She smiled at her grandmother and nodded. Since then, her grandmother has sided with her and helped her. 

The heat calmed down as their appetizer was served. Kenzo told her to eat and she ate for the sake of her husband as he told her wonderful things. Regina spoke to them about flowers that she wanted to put in her garden. 

"I felt like I'm up to catch your butterflies, Lady Regina," Kenzo said. The old woman laughed freely. 

Katarina watched them in jealousy as she gripped on her knife, wanting to kill the girl who would take everything from her. She eyed the purse that Victoria brought with her. She creased her brows. It's unique and it has crystals. How~~just~~how can she have such a purse?

Everyone is already discussing the upcoming Royal Party. They were talking about the tailored dress and tuxedos that they budgeted. However, Victoria wasn't included in it. So, Regina wanted to speak to her formally. 

"Do you want to go?" Regina asked her. 

"No." Victoria shook her head. "Besides, I wasn't included in the family's budget." She mumbled to Regina. 

"Dear, I can set that up. I'm the elder of the family after all." 

"It's alright. Grandma." Kenzo said. "We have plans for the same day." He winked as he rubbed her wife's exposed arm. 

"That's good. We lack a budget for you. Besides, we don't want the same humiliation in front of other families and the Royal Family, don't we?" Dana said coldly. 

Kenzo didn't show much expression but he's smirking inside his head. The Royal Party will be in six months. In six months, Kenzo will have to work his ass. 

"By the way, I heard that the Marquess is holding a party that will be led by the Lady of the house." Her Aunt Cheska, her Uncle Bryant's wife said.

"They are in the capital," Dana said. "Shall we move to the capital first?" 

The Parson family has a mansion in the capital or Westeria and not as big as their mansion in Berkon near the city of Lwazi. 

After lunch, Victoria walked with lady Regina in the garden as she told him what to plant in her backyard. But first, the soil in the backyard should have enough minerals for the plants to live. 

"Are you sure that you don't want to go with the party?" Regina asked. 

"The first and last time that I went there, I was a laughing stock of the family. I disgrace our family." Victoria said bitterly as she remembered it. 

"You aren't a disgrace," Regina said softly to comfort her

"Grandma, I'd rather stay with my husband and cuddle." 

"So, Kenzo was just buffing that you guys had plans?" 

"I don't know his surprises." Victoria smiled. "But he surprised me every day." 

"It's good that Kenzo is more than a man that your father was," Regina said. "I am disappointed in him and my other son too. I just wished that I raised a daughter that is kind and compassionate." 

"I guess it's too late?" Victoria asked. "I think dad was just being overprotective toward Katarina." 

"That's not overprotective that I see." Regina inhaled. "It's biased." 

"Grandma, I wonder why father never loved me as he did to Katarina," Victoria asked. This is the first time that she asked something. And it makes her heartache. 

Regina was surprised by her question. She knew the reason but she didn't want to hurt her further. 

 

Kenzo was wandering in the garden taking photos of each flower that would be suited to their backyard. 

"You," 

Kenzo turned his head. Victoria's father had never learned his name. 

"It's Kenzo, sir." He said. 

"I don't care what your name is." He looked tall and scary. This is why Victoria can't talk back to him. He gave him a paper. He took it and looked at the one million dollars. "Leave my daughter right now. You can withdraw it anytime." 

Kenzo sighed. They never learned. 

"Your daughter, my wife is not this cheap." He gave it back to him but Victoria's father didn't take it. 

"Just how much do you want?" He hissed. 

"I don't want anything from you or your family." 

The man scoffed. 

"How can you even feed my daughter with your current job?" 

"I have my ways to feed your daughter and buy her luxury clothes." He answered. The man laughed at him. 

"By what? By becoming a gigolo? Well, I know that you could do such a thing. Feed your wife from the money of women that are renting you. They must be too rich to meet you up in the Golden Palace, right?" 

Kenzo didn't react much and put the piece of paper over the bushes. 

"I have to go. My wife isn't feeling that much since she was drugged last night." He didn't bow his head as he left. He approached the ladies who were talking seriously. But he heard Victoria asked a certain question from Lady Regina. 

"I'm not dumb, grandma. I understand if my father and mother don't like me. It's just confusing why." 

Regina looked hurt from her question too. But Kenzo had to save the old woman. She doesn't look well at the moment. Victoria didn't notice it. 

"Love," he called. "Let's go. You have to drink your medicine." 

"The girls are going out shopping. You should go with them." Regina said. "I have a budget for your shopping, dear." 

"It's alright grandma. I handle all of her expenses." Kenzo smiled. 

"You must be working in a good company." Regina complimented him. 

"Yes, I am. So, she doesn't have to work and get harassed by other men." 

"I heard what happened." Regina sighed. "I'm sorry, dear. Do you want to file charges?" 

Victoria looked at Kenzo. 

"I already settled it, grandma. I filed a restraining order signed by the judges. There's nothing to worry about the man." 

"I'm relieved." Regina smiled. 

Regina watched as the couple left without a valet attending their car. They looked happy as they held hands together. She never saw such a relationship, even from her children who got married. All they care about is wealth, status, and reputation. The couple even kissed as Kenzo opened the door for his wife. Victoria was laughing over something that he said. 

At least, the heiress of the family married a man that would love her, even though he's not rich.
