They went to expensive stores and she used the card that her husband gave to her. Raiden helped with picking her clothes. Like dresses, negligee, underwear, pants, and shirts. She became stylish with it.

"Thank you." She wrapped her arms around him.

​​

"You don't have to thank me. I'm your husband." He patted her head.

 She also buys a few furniture for the house. Raiden assists her around. It's already seven when they reached home. People get in to drop off the furniture and she pointed on where it will be. She seemed more energetic today.

 Raiden pays for the delivery fee and then he watched as they left his penthouse. He looked at his wife who looked around in happiness.

"We'll wash your clothes."

"I'll wash it. You must be tired."

"Why won't you order for our dinner in the Asian Season. You are too tired to cook." He kissed her forehead.

"I will!"

 Raiden loves her so much now. He would spoil her. Now, he understood why his father spoiled their mother. He simply loves her. That's why. He would tell them all over again about how their mother protects them even though her life depends on it. Their mother wouldn't let him to any dangerous mission or follow her. So, in case she left them early, he would be there to protect them.

 He checked the clothes that she bought that are easy to wash. He separates the whites from multiple colors.

"I will do that!" She said. "I don't want you to ruin it."

 He laughed at her.

"Alright, I'll do the white you do the others."

"Okay!" She said. "But I can do this tomorrow."

"I want you to wear something beautiful tomorrow."

 His phone started ringing.

"Take it. I'll take care of this."

 He kissed her lips.

 He answered the call and went to the living room.

"Rhys?"

"Hey, I found crazy things in here," Rhys said almost a whisper.

"Rhys, where are you?"

"Just in case something happened here. I want you to stay safe with your wife. Jaxon and I will have a crazy night."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'll send you a code. Gave it to mom." Rhys hung up.

 Raiden frowned and then he received a message with dots and lines. Morse code! He immediately sent it to his mother. Then, he called her.

"Mom?"

"I received it!"

"Will Rhys going to be okay?"

"Yes, he will."

 Raiden suddenly felt terrified for his twin brother. Her mother didn't trust anyone with the mission so she gave it to Rhys and Jaxon. He just hopes that they are fine.

 Kale pulled out his phone and texted Tina.

Kale: Up for dinner? Where's the wine?

Tina: Yeah, I sneaked out this time.

Kale: What about your step-mother? Don't let her get close to me.

Tina: LMAO.

 The doorbell rang and he checked it and opened the gate. She walked to the door and Kale opened it for her.

"I thought that you aren't coming," Kale said.

"I wouldn't miss the best dinner." She said and gave the wine to him.

"Oh, this is not cheap."

"It's cheap." She shrugged.

"Rich girl."

"I'm not rich."

"Get your ass in!" Kale said.

 She went in and went directly to the kitchen as Kale followed. They found the couple laughing over something.

 After dinner, they are the ones who cleaned the kitchen since the couple is off to baby-making. Kale and Tina went to the beach to walk.

"You didn't think about leaving the house or what?"

"No. My step-mother will be very depressed. Although she's like that. She's kind and she treats me well. She is unable to give birth. That's all."

"Oh,"

"Doesn't she have a pet?"

"She had a cat. Completely spoiled."

"Well, she should do some gardening," Kale suggested.

"She also did that but somehow, she needs some affection. That's why she's looking over you."

"She's looking over my abdominal, Tina!" Kale lifted his shirt and showed it to her. "Didn't you see that? She also peeked at Nate."

 Christina laughed out loud.

"By the way, don't you have work?"

"I don't." Kale shook his head. "I'm their gardener so…"

"Oh, shut up. Don't lie to me."

 Kale laughed.

"No, I was relaxing. I graduated from business school at Harvard and I need to relax."

"Oh, how old are you exactly?"

"I'm twenty-six."

"Oh,"

"I graduated from Empire Academy at the age of twenty. They have additional courses like martial arts that every student should practice."

"Oh," She creased her brows.

"You can find a job after your graduation right away. The Academy will provide it."

"Wow, I wish to go there but I'm an adult."

 Kale chuckled.

"It's not like that. Our empire is a bit complicated."

"I know. I heard all about it. Dad said that your empire is protecting world peace voluntarily."

 Kale chuckled. "Not really. It's just what it is."

"How long are you going to stay here?" She asked. Kale knew that this is just a casual talk. Like a girl and a boy would. But looking at her, makes him felt a little terrified. He's afraid to fall in love with Christina. But she gets attractive as he gazed at her for long.

"Not for long."

 Tina pressed her lips. She knew that hoping a chance for him is small. They'll just become friends and nothing else. She shouldn't get her hopes high because Kale is a good person.

"The moon is so big," Kale commented as he stopped and looked up. He removed his shirt and then his shorts.

"What the hell!" she covered her eyes.

"It's good to swim!" He said and he ran to the water. She laughed watching that hunky guy wearing boxer shorts and dive on the water.

 She removed her shirt and her denim shorts. She's wearing a pair of bikinis. She ran to the water and jumped beside Kale. Kale floats and faced the sky. She did the same as they both gazed up at the beautiful moon.

"In the Philippines, we'll see the moon peeking from the mountain at six o'clock in the afternoon." He said. "It's beautiful in there."

"I missed the Philippines." She said.

"How long have you been in here?"

"Five years." She said. "I have to stay here not to get killed." She said.

 She screamed when something grabbed on her ankle and Kale started laughing.

"It's not funny!"

"You are so dramatic and you almost cry!" Kale laughed.

 She splashed water on him and he dived down and wrapped his arms around her legs from under the water and lifted her and throw her away.

 She cursed at him and cough.

"Sorry." Kale laughed.

 She started splashing water on him.

"It's cold." She said as she walked back to their clothes.

 Kale's smile faded. He clenched his hand to control himself. He exhaled and approached her. He pulled her waist up and take her to water again.

"Kale!"

 He twists her body to face him and he scooped her face and kissed him. She froze and tried to push him but he pulled her close to him. It's not her first kiss but this one is different. She closed her eyes as an unexpected tear fall from her left hand. She wrapped her arms around him and give her access to her mouth.

 The kiss goes deeper when Kale pulled her up and she wrapped her arms around her waist. Kale let go of her lips and goes down to her neck. She moaned as she grabbed his hair. She became weightless in the water as Kale pulled her up and his lips go to her chest. She felt so warm.

 Kale removed the string of her bikini bra and bit down the cover from her chest. He kissed it and sucked her nipple. She gasped and looked down at him. Kale does it to the other and she didn't know what is going to happen.

"Kale," She whispered.

He didn't stop and he goes back up to her lips. The taste of saltwater didn't get to whatever they felt for each other. Kale carried her and lay her to the sound. They continue kissing and she just closed her eyes, become drank from the feeling that he's giving. He's like alcohol for her.

 She felt that thick and long hard thing rubbing on her pelvis.

"Kale," She mumbled.

"F-ck." Kale mumbled and bit her lower lip. She moaned and they dry hump with their clothes on.

 Kale growled in a very low sound and he shoved his face on her neck and he panted.

"Kale?" she called softly. He looked up at her.

"Let's go to my room."

 He sat up and tie her bikini on and fixed it. She looked hypnotized as Kale put his shorts on. He took his slippers and shirt. He grabbed her hand and take her back to the villa.

"Kale," She called again.

"Do you want it?" He asked. She nodded at him completely mesmerized by him. "Good."

 Kale takes her to the bathroom, and they strip their clothes under the shower. He kissed her touch her, and Kale won't hold back to Christina. He didn't care if she's the daughter of the man that tried to murder him that would make his life miserable.
