Golden Palace Hotel,

Kenzo looked at his grandfather who seemed to be happy as Secretary Bryan put the groceries over the table. He was whistling as he removed his cap. 

"So, you did have fun?" Kenzo asked. 

"Yeah, I was offering her to marry my grandson. Shame that she declined." 

Kenzo laughed. 

"Who's grandson are you referring to?" Kenzo asked. The old man glanced at him. 

"Of course, someone not you." The old man laughed. 

Kenzo sighed as his grandfather sat down and his butler came to help him change his clothes. 

"Secretary Bryan. I like the tea that Marquess Astera's wife gave. Sent her something too in return."

"Did it make you feel better?" Kenzo asked. 

"Yes. I should ask her where to buy it." 

"Victoria also loves tea." 

"Then, I should meet up with the Marquess's wife." The old man grinned. "I'm heading back to Westeria to meet up with the Marquess's wife." 

"How about your birthday party?" Kenzo asked again. 

"It will be in Westeria,'' he said. "Make sure to be there with your wife." 

Kenzo creased his brows. 

"I can't be introduced, right? My wife doesn't know." 

"Take a week's leave as a honeymoon in Westeria." The old man said to make it more like a vacation. 

Kenzo thought about it and nodded. 

"I can set that up. It's next month, right?" 

"You rascal! How can you forget my birthday!" He hissed. 

Kenzo laughed and scratched his head. 

"Let's have lunch." The old man said. 

The maids set up their lunch in the garden. The two had a great lunch together with Kaisley and Secretary Bryan. He planned to work late but he promised his wife. After lunch, he set up a meeting with Kaisley in the study room with Secretary Bryan as he spoke to Caleb on the other line. He wanted to make the two meet but not yet. Kenzo hung up the call and faced Kaisley.

"I'm sorry for keeping you away from home. Miss Bolton. But wouldn't your husband get worried?" 

"He's on a business trip at the moment. In Sanghira." She said, 

"Okay," Kenzo sighed. "Let's start early tomorrow." 

His phone beeped and he looked at Secretary Bryan. Kaisley escorted him to the lobby. 

"Thank you, guys. I'll see you tomorrow." 

Kenzo stepped out of the Golden Palace Hotel. 

"If it isn't the brother-in-law…" 

He turned his head to Katarina and Jason. 

"Hmm, early honeymoon?" He asked with a smile. "Have a good day." He waved off as he left, ignoring the two. 

A valet came from the corner and gave his scooter. He drove his scooter back home. Just outside the house, he could smell a famishing grill of chicken. He entered the code of the door. Then, in the foyer, he removed his shoes and put them on the shoe rack then went directly to the kitchen and gave her a big kiss. 

"I took your suits in the dry cleaning." She told him. "I'll pick it up tomorrow." 

"Great. Let me change my clothes." 

After Kenzo put the briefcase in his closet and changed his clothes, he quickly rushed to the kitchen and hugged his wife from behind. He somehow missed his wife so much who was left alone in the house. 

"So, I think of a honeymoon in Westeria for a week." 

She stopped and turned to him. 

"What? Are you sure?" 

Kenzo nodded. 

"That will be next month." 

"Okay… That means I could wear the new dresses for next month." 

He kissed her cheeks. 

"So, what happened today?" He asked as he sat on the barstool and watched her finish the cooking. 

"Well, an old man asks for my help and then I pay for his groceries since he doesn't have any bills to pay for it. But the most amusing part is when I escorted him outside, he actually had a luxurious car and a driver. I feel like I've been scammed." She laughed. "But I have a good time though." She giggled. 

"Good thing," Kenzo said and admired his wife like a puppy. 

"But, he kept mentioning his grandson." She smirked. "He even convinced me to divorce you." 

Kenzo's eyes darkened. 

That old man… He mumbled to himself. 

She laughed and extended a carrot to him. He opened his mouth as she tucked it in. 

"Don't worry. No matter how handsome and rich his grandson is, I won't exchange you for them. You are my handsome hubby!" 

"Good to know." 

Kenzo sneered as he chewed the carrots. 

 

Kaisley never thought that Kenzo would be this good. They had gathered the evidence just before his grandfather's birthday. The Etrama officers even caught the people in no time. She sighed and leaned on her swivel chair. She wanted to stay longer. She didn't want to go home. She checked her husband's messages and said that he'll stay longer in Sanghira.

She mentioned to him that she has fieldwork too. But since the location is very confidential she didn't tell him. The man didn't care at all. It's been days now that she's staying in Lwazi. 

"Here's your tea, Miss." Secretary Bryan said. 

"Thank you, Sir." She mumbled.

"You don't have to mention it. Besides, I think the Duke is going to give you the position as a president." 

"I~~I don't think that I could handle it." She said. 

"Why are you declining it now? You managed to act as a chairperson of the company." 

"Well," Kaisley sighed. "I want my marriage to work so I plan to resign after I turn over everything to Lord Ivan." 

"Hmm, shame." Secretary Bryan said. "Then, please assist Lord Kenzo." 

"I will." 

Secretary Bryan left and just as she was about to leave, Lord Kenzo entered her room and waved. He had some sweets for her. 

"Kaisley!" Kenzo called cheerfully as he placed the box over her desk. "My friend gave this to you for your hard work." 

"Oh, thanks." She doesn't like sweet things but when she opened it, she was surprised by graham mango ice cream? She looked up at him. 

"What don't you like about it? I could just throw this to him." 

"No." She smiled. "It's my favorite." 

"I'm glad." 

He sat down. 

"I'm going to Westeria with my wife. Can you handle the company?" Kenzo asked as he crossed his legs. 

"Yes, of course, Lord Kenzo." 

"Thank you." 

"Sir," Kaisley took a letter envelope from her drawer and gave it to him. 

Just as when Kaisley extended it, her sleeve shows something. Fading bruises? Kenzo already noticed it a few days ago and he thought that it's just dirt. But it's not. He took the letter and looked at the words written to it. 

Resignation Letter 

"I would like you to know that I am glad to serve your company. But, I want my marriage to work." 

Kenzo opened it and read it. 

"In three months?" He asked. 

"I would like to turn over everything in a short time as possible." 

"You want to work on your marriage…" Kenzo chuckled and crumpled it. "Four months." He smiled. "You are going to go back to Marduque, right?" 

"Yes sir." 

"I'll give you four months." 

Kaisley wanted to consider it. But then she nodded. 

"Write me another resignation letter after three months." 

"Yes, sir." 

He stood and waved off. 

"Have a safe trip to Marduque, okay?" 

She nodded as she stood and bowed to him. 



Kenzo left quickly and drove his motorbike back home. He found his wife packing their clothes. He even bought her expensive lingerie for their lovemaking. But first, he had to go to Marduque before going straight to Westeria City. Their flight was in a few hours and it looked like his wife was too excited. Marduque is the main country where the Royals and noble people live. Westeria is the main City of Greivania which is only a few hours drive from the main City of Marduque which is Pilos land. 

"I can't wait to leave." 

"Before we leave," Kenzo removed his shirt and his pants. "I want to have my wife first." 

She turned to him and grinned. It's been a while since they last had sex. Kenzo became too occupied with work. There are times that when he comes home to work, he would notice how stressed she was with her writing. And over the negative comments and bashes over the novels that she wrote. Then, since he always came home late, she would ask him if he was seeing someone else. And of course, he would tell the truth. He loved his wife so much. 

He understands the anxiety that she felt and he would always answer her truthfully. 

"So, where did you go?" She asked him as she closed the luggage and put it down. 

"I went to visit K at the Golden Hotel to give the mango dessert that Caleb bought for her." 

"You are acting like a cupid here, but does Miss K know?" 

"Not yet…" he grinned. "Come on, I want to be inside my wife right now." 

He lifted her and started kissing her. She giggled and wrapped her arms around him like she's not gonna let him go. 

"What do you want?" He asked seductively. "Did you perhaps research for another beautiful sex position?" He grinned and bit her earlobe lightly. 

She moaned and pointed at the sofa. 

"Oh, so you want the sofa?" He teased her. 

She nodded while flushing. 

"Okay, let's see what you can do." He started feeling the rush of arousal through him. His wife is just too adorable. 

"I had enough research to do for our honeymoon.." She grinned at him.
