The Bullied Husband’s Club - Chapter 177

Maverick never thought that Stacey would think that way. What made her think that she’ll raise their baby alone? He stared at her as she smiled guiltily. But she reached his hand and acted adorably.

“That was because you were pushing me away and you won’t even show up in front of me. I planned to seduce you that night and leave you so you’ll be free and marry a decent noblewoman. I only wanted to have a baby with you so it’ll remind me of you…” She scooped his face. “But it doesn’t matter now. We are married.”

He didn’t expect that leaving her would give her a big heartbreak. His heart was aching. He should have taken her with him and so no bad things would happen to her. He never thought that she was as desperate as him.

“I’m sorry.” He knelt in front of her as he shoved his face to her lap and hugged her. If he didn’t plan to marry her that night, he might have lost her and their child forever.

“Hey, don’t be sorry. I know you did it to protect me.” She was smiling and caressing his hair.

For Stacey, there’s no need to apologize. She loved him so much and simple mistakes were already forgiven. But not betrayal and unfaithfulness. That’s one thing that she won’t ever forgive. But seeing how he cuddled her, she knew that they would last long forever.

“Hey,” She pulled his hair a little. “I’m getting numb. Let’s lay down and kiss me all you want.”

“I have to stop myself from touching you further.” He climbed up on the bed and kicked his home slippers. His grin was giving her tingles to make love to him but instead of getting naked, Stacey was completely disappointed when he only snuggled to her, held her stomach, and dozed off as nothing happened. She pushed his forehead but he held her tight.

“Why aren’t you naked?” She scolded him.

“Babe, we can’t always make love.”

“But how about my libido.” She said straightforwardly.

“Babe,”

“I’m craving for it, now do it!” She demanded. He was surprised about that demand. If he does it, he might be relieved and for the other days and weeks, she might not want any orgasm or sex for those days.

“If that’s what my Duchess wants.” He gave her a big smooch on the lips. She giggled and helped him undress. “We have to be careful. We can’t smash our baby!” He said panicking midway.

“Don’t be a dumb ass. You don’t have to go deep.” She smacked his chest. “Now, remove the very last.” She teased further.

“You are surprisingly too demanding today, my love.” He grinned. “That’s even sexier.” He caressed her face.

The couple gently made love and after that, Stacey took a photo of the two pregnancy tests and sent it to her best friends. It’s also good news so she sent it to King Edgar and Prince Philip. The couple then waited for lunch as they rested in bed.

“Mavey, baby?” She called and rubbed his chest. “Let’s swim on the beach. What do you say?”

“The sun is up love. It’s also hot outside.”

“I know. But maybe at five in the afternoon? It won’t be too hot and I want to enjoy the beach with you.”

“Sure.” Mave had thought about it.

But he has to deal with something later on since he’s just waiting for her to sleep. If the Kennedys are on loose, he has to secure her safety and their baby’s safety. The recent threat was real and it harmed her and nearly harmed her womb. He’s completely worried now even though he’s so happy to have a baby.

Kenzo was creasing his brows again and although Victoria was also busy on the other table to check the schedules and do her duty as his wife and his Duchess. Although the Duchess doesn’t do much, the head of their family is letting them do whatever they want as long as it won’t harm the family’s reputation. She’s also doing her best to make sure that her grandmother won’t be ruined by Katarina.

Last night, Victoria had a dream and she didn’t forget it. It’s about the Parson family’s downfall. Some people’s superstition says that if you remember your dream after waking up, it only means that it’s a message. The Parson family that her grandmother and grandfather raised to the top will be ruined because of the Welch Group. She had this feeling that they planned to be after them all along and to be named as Baron and next to Count. They were after the position of a noble to make it in the ministry.

“My love, what are you thinking?” Kenzo asked.

“Nothing.” She smiled at him. “I’ll take care of my matters, you take care of yours.”

“Okay~~” He stared at her.

“Oh! I almost forgot! We still have a dessert from Chef Munoz!” She stood quickly. “What tea do you like?”

“Black tea, love.”

They are currently in the Golden Palace Hotel, the penthouse in Marduque. They also have maids and Butlers to attend them and enough security.

She served hot tea and dessert. Then, she hugged her husband and kissed his cheek.

“Love, if there’s anything you want. Just tell me.”

“I will handle it, Kenz. This is a family matter. I just need to dig up to make sure that my speculations are right.”

“Okay, I can help you with that but after we had the results about the bombing incidents.”

“Love,”

“If this is about the Welch group, they are wealthy and powerful. You need someone like me to get evidence and it might take a long while since they have scapegoats as their employees.”

“Okay,” She kissed his cheeks and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m worried about your health too that you always sleep late at night even though we are together.”

“Hey, love. I can give you access to a few important things. Just tell me what you want.” Kenzo patted her head. “Our wedding will be next year too. You have to start socializing.”

“Yeah, I can do that.”

Kenzo knew well that she’s not good at it and she’s anxious but she has loyal friends and he knew well that she can make one in the circle of noble ladies. He won’t be worried since she has a sister, the daughter of Marquis. He knew that she could do this.

“For now, take it slowly about your problem and discuss it with your grandmother.”

“I will do that.” She nodded at him.

“We can solve problems together, my Duchess.” He reached her hand from his chest and kissed it.

“Thank you for marrying me.” She giggled and thought about their first night. It was unforgettable.

“You deserve every good thing in this world.”

“Stop fancying me, Kenz. Now, let’s drink our tea and eat this dessert.”

It was the time when they were in the middle of their snack. That’s when Kenzo’s phone started ringing. Victoria had a bad feeling about this. So, she waited for him to tell her about that emergency. He quickly stood.

“Alright,” He hung up. “Stay here.”

“What happened?”

“Caleb and Kaisley got into an accident. This one is staged.”

“What accident?!”

“They are on their way to Marduque to check the case. And I want you to stay here.”

“No! It’s Kaisley and Caleb!”

Kenzo froze and stared at her full of worry.

“They are targeting the highnesses, Victoria. I can’t risk you.”

“They are our family. Where are they now?”

“To Etrama Hospital.”

Victoria reached for her coat.

“I’m still going.”

Kenzo has no choice but to let his wife with him. They used the bulletproof car and let their driver drive toward the hospital in a rush as they were accompanied by city police. He held his wife’s hand as they rushed to the VIP room where the two are located. In that room, there were injured bodyguards and drivers and two beds for Caleb and Kaisley. Currently, Kaisley was awake and holding Caleb’s hand. He’s injured in the head and arms by protecting the Princess.

Victoria’s heart crushes as she stares at Caleb. Their dear brother and dear friend. She approached Kaisley and hugged her.

“What happened?” Kenzo asked the driver.

Victoria watched as Kenzo spoke to the driver and bodyguards. The agent explained that two four-by-four cars aimed at the back of the sedan to harm the Prince and Princess.

“We tried hard, your grace.”

“And his condition?”

“The Prince had a minor head injury but the doctors are still looking through it. His arm was because of the shattered glasses. Although it was bulletproof they managed to break it just to hurt the Prince and the Princess.” The Bodyguard who protects the Princess said. “I saw something odd, your grace.”

“Do tell,” Kenzo said sharply.

“They have tattoos and piercings. As you told me and Prince Caleb to review the details of the prisoners, two people caught my attention. They are convicts.”

“Did you mean that they also escaped from the jail?”

“Yes,” the bodyguard affirmed. “I already wrote my statement about it, your grace.” He took out his phone and showed him the two people he saw there.

“So, there were people who escaped?” Kenzo smirked. “I’m going to give them a nice beating then.” He looked at his dear friend who was lying on the bed, to Kaisley, and finally to his wife. “Stay here. I’ll work on this.”

“O~okay.”

“Protect the Duchess and the highnesses!” he demanded them. “Call the Blue Knights in my castle.”

“Y~yes, sir!”

Victoria looked at him with full admiration. He’s cool and looks badass!
