The Bullied Husband’s Club - Chapter 199

Victoria was catching up with her breath while her husband was making her feel satisfied. She turned her head to the shelves and she seemed to feel someone staring at them. She held him and he stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is there a hidden camera here?” She asked and fixed her dress consciously.

“No.” He kissed her cheeks and gently thrust.

“How about behind those shelves?”

“It’s a secret door.” He kissed the side of her neck and sucked it. “Do you want a different position?”

“I feel like someone was watching us.”

“There’s no one,” Kenzo said and he scooped her and took her to the sofa to continue there. Victoria was back on being turned on and after they were done, she quickly fixed her dress and looked around the office. He fixed his pants on and gave her more kisses. “I will have to attend a few more meetings out of the country. Would you be okay?”

“Can’t I go with you?”

“You can.”

“I will go with you.”

“Then, I will prepare the security.”

“When will it be?”

“In two days.” He fixed her dress in front of her and sighed. “You are amazing. My stress just went away.”

“Good thing.” She giggled and hugged him.

The couple kissed again and Kenzo got back to work and preserved the letter by putting it on the small box. Victoria left. After she left, he stood and went to the shelves. He opened the shelves and frowned seeing that the secret door was open. He decided to go to his drawer and took a small box that contained a small camera and he installed it in a short time.

A knock on the door made him stop and he quickly closed the shelves. The door opened as Victoria entered with a tray of coffee and snacks.

“I put ham and cheese instead of sweets.” She said as she placed it on his table. “Babe?” She turned to him.

“You are right, someone might be peeping on us. I will find it soon.”

Victoria shuddered a little and rubbed her shoulders. It might not be the first time when someone listened or peek at them while they were making love. It’s a disgusting thing to do. This is also a crime and she knew that Kenzo won’t let it slide.

“Pauline is already waiting, I will see you this afternoon.”

“I have to eat alone again?” Kenzo asked.

“Love, there are a lot of things to do. I also need to go to Viscount Jarred’s studio.”

“Oh, I see.”

The couple kissed each other while the door was partially open. He kissed her passionately and continued kissing her, twirling her around as they would lean on the table. He focused on the mirror that faces the door and saw someone peeking at them. He pulled out and kissed her forehead.

“Spend a lot.” He told her. She giggled and nodded at him. “By the way, can you buy me a new pair of cufflinks? I need it for the business party.”

“Okay,”

“But I have to tell you. This is very tiring. There might be nights that I will come back late. So, get anything you want to keep you from being bored.”

“I have my books and laptop.” She grinned.

“Alright.” He escorted her to the door. He glanced at Pauline and her handmaiden. “Pick anything for me.”

“Will do.”

Maverick leaned on his swivel chair. The first thing that he saw when he looked up was his wife who reached his head and massaged it.

“I think we need to walk outside and have a break. It’s not good for your eyes if you keep looking up this close.”

“You are right. Give me thirty minutes to clean up a few of these viruses so we can walk outside.”

“Alright.” She massaged his shoulders and he continued working.

He didn’t even notice that she already went to the sofa and read a manuscript for the current project. Her Duchess duty isn’t that much because he wanted her to focus on her passion which is animation and making comics.

A message from the Empress surprised him. She rarely messaged him but this time seemed to be serious. He needed to cancel the business trip with Duke Kenzo. He needed to stay to facilitate around and control the agents. He wondered where she got it but as he thought of it. If he and Kenzo are on the same trip, there might be a big chance of an ambush. He needs to stay. Besides, Kenzo will be out for a month with Prince Philip. He also needs to assist the King.

He finished it and turned his swivel chair to the television that is now trending in social media after the media release about the statement from Mila Elish. She told everyone that a certain family was using her to frame the Duchess about killing her. She claimed that it was a catfight because the Lady from a certain family lost her mind after seeing her with the fiance. She didn’t deny being a third party because the man itself is using her for certainty.

“That’s something.” Maverick stood and put his sunglasses on. He approached his wife and she put the manuscript on the desk. “How about lunch?” He asked as the couple used the balcony to go down the garden. The balcony has eighteen steps on both sides in a curve style. He held the umbrella for her as they walked toward the gazebo.

“Well, I already asked the chef what I want and what you want.” She told him. “I also request for tropical fruits.”

“That’s hard to get in this season.” He said.

“But I’m craving it.”

“Did they get it?”

“They do.” She smiled. “Do you know that there’s a greenhouse that could change the climate to preserve tropical fruits?”

“Really?” he creased his brows.

“Your mom was the one who invented it and sold it for billions.” She whispered. Maverick stopped from walking and looked down at his wife who looked so excitedly.

“You aren’t joking.” She shook her head. “It has been going on for about a year now. I also heard that Butler Reinheart was the one who made the negotiations.”

“Does the Castle have this?”

“Yup. They are currently upgrading it.”

“How can I not know about this?” He grumbled.

“I don’t know. Maybe you are so busy that you don’t have time to chat with your mom.”

“You know so much more than me.”

He carefully held the swing bench for her and she carefully sat down on the left side. Then, he sat down on the right side as he closed the umbrella and held her hand as they swung a little.

“Babe,” he called. “I need to cancel my business trip and to stay with you.”

“That’s good.” She bounced her head.

“But I will still become busy.”

“I don’t’ mind. I can stay with you in the office all day.”

“I will set up a comfortable reclining sofa. Maybe we can choose it together when we go to the shopping center.”

“I love that.”

“We can go this afternoon.” He reached her tummy. “You and our baby become more sleepy each day.”

“Sleepy and hungry.” She giggled. He leaned on her shoulder.

Maverick now thought if that incident didn’t happen and Stacey would completely leave him. She might have raised their baby alone. She will be tired from working and because of pregnancy. Here, she could eat anything she wanted. Plus, she can have tropical fruits even though it’s autumn in their country.

“It’s still hot here.” She said and held his head.

“Love, did you know that the Duchess ordered a lot of tailored and newly designed negligee and night robes to the Viscount.”

“Yeah, I heard.”

“Aren’t you going to order the same?”

“I already did.” She giggled at him. “It was supposed to be a surprise for you.”

He didn’t check the Duchess’s budget for shopping that much. He set it up for unlimited but for him she doesn’t spend that much. She spends more on food rather than luxury clothes.

“Your grace,” A guard came and bowed. “Lady Beatrice asked for an audience.”

“Beatrice?” She asked.

Somehow, she heard from the maids that there’s a name Lady Beatrice which was Maverick’s puppy love and first love back when he was a Count’s son.

“What is her reason to visit?” He asked and sat straight.

Stacey noticed that he was indifferent. Is it true that Lady Beatrice, daughter of Marquess Vans, is his first love? She heard that the woman rejected him.

“She said that Marquess Vans sent her to tutor her grace when it comes to etiquette.”

He indeed remembered that he was searching for someone to teach his wife with it. But he doesn’t like it when the Marquess was the one who suggested his daughter.

“Tell her to wait.” He said as the guard nodded.

Stacey creased her brows and faced him.

“Don’t tell me that you are still up on that etiquette shits?” She cursed, suddenly feeling irritated.

“No. I requested that two months ago but I never expected that it would be today.”

“I don’t want that woman,” Stacey said although she hasn’t met her personally she saw her once at the party and she was trying to speak with Maverick.

“Yes, of course. I won’t let her teach you.” His head was aching a little.

“She’s your first love?” She asked him. He snorted and patted her head.

“You are my first love.”

“Stop lying.” Her brows were creased.

“I’m not lying.”

First, was Eliza now Lady Beatrice? How many girls are there in his life who become obsessed with his power?
