Chamberlain had gone overboard the previous day, turning and tossing her as he pleased . She couldn't complain about it because she enjoyed their little adventure . It was like discovering and exploring uncharted territory .

Along the line, she fell asleep due to exhaustion… Perhaps she pa.s.sed out . Then when she woke up, he demanded for more, she couldn't reject him either . Although she was sore, she was more than satisfied that it didn't mean much to her . It was a kind of sore she liked and wouldn't grow tired of .

Thinking about it, a satisfied smile was plastered on her face . She opened her eyes and was greeted by her husband's amused smile .

"Good morning," he placed a kiss on her cheek then teased, "What are you thinking of?"

"Good morning," she smiled at him with reddened ears . It was difficult looking into his eyes but she managed to hold his eyes for a while before looking away .

Chamberlain chuckled at her reaction . His hands on her waist tightened, "Avoiding my question, huh?"

"No!" She denied . She pulled the duvet, covering up her face .

The next moment, he pulled away the duvet exposing her skin that he had done well to mark . On exposure, Lena's eyes widened as she tried to cover up herself .

His actions made her heart rate shoot through the roof .

Grabbing her hands, he continued to tease her, "Are you still shy?"

Advertis.e.m.e.ntShe lowered her head as her face heated, "No…"

"Then look at me . "

Slowly, she lifted her head, when their eyes met, she gulped . While she was distracted by her husband's charm, he suddenly lifted her from the bed .

"What are you doing?!"

Striding towards the bathroom, he nonchalantly replied, "We should take a shower . "

Soon the steamy bathroom was filled with moans and grunts of pa.s.sion as two souls became one .

…

While Lena and Chamberlain busied themselves with intimate affairs, the king had already pa.s.sed his judgment .

He was aware that the person behind the Stans had withdrawn . His plan was to make that person abandon Charles Stan and then with the betrayal Charles would trade that person's ident.i.ty for his life .

However, he did not expect that person to abandon Charles so easily . He had expected they would put up a fight but instead Charles had sent his wife and daughter abroad . This means he's planning on running away, isn't it?

Still, this was a chance to set an example . Charles Stan will have to step down or perhaps flee in order to survive .

Then he thought about his decision to launch an investigation against the Stans, he had evidence of their crimes already but he had other things in mind .

He wanted to see how Charles would make the Blackwood family his scapegoat, after all, Carl was the head of the finance department . As for Brandon, he was not sure how he'd come into play .

Though the news was yet to make its way to the headlines, if he tipped off the reporters, it would be over for Charles .

Scratch that, the fall of the Stans had already begun, whether it was known publicly or not, did not matter .

Soon, their allies would begin to abandon them too…

What would Mr . Hansberry do? Given his only daughter, his only child is already married to Chamberlain .

Would he choose to abandon them? Perhaps ask his daughter to divorce Chamberlain or…

…

As if on cue, Mr . Hansberry arrived in State B with the earliest flight . He made his way to his daughter's new home .

He had come to take her away .

"Welcome, Mr . Hansberry . " The servants greeted as he strode in .

He sat down in a dignified manner, he appeared calm as he unhurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"Young master and madam are still sleeping . "

Mr . Hansberry frowned as he peered down at his wrist.w.a.tch, for an unknown reason his heart jolted .

He still hasn't gotten used to the fact that his only daughter was married . Which in turn involves certain things… his Lena was so small and innocent… so pure .

He clenched and unclenched his fist as he took deep breaths to control his anger .

The next scene he saw was his daughter and Chamberlain walking down the stairs . Chamberlain's hands were around her waist while she was red . He was not sure what Chamberlain whispered to her but she lowered her head before hitting his chest while Chamberlain chuckled .

He had to admit they looked happy . His daughter was happy so he would let things go… or so he thought .

Chamberlain and Lena were too busy indulging in their intimacy that they failed to notice they had a visitor .

When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs, Lena's leg gave way but Chamberlain was quick to grab onto her .

"I told you to stay in bed, I'll get you breakfast, you refused now look at you . . . you can't walk properly . "

"And whose fault is it?"

Chamberlain beamed, "And who was moaning 'more… more . . . "

When he looked up, he saw his father in-law gritting his teeth, his face was red and his breathing ragged . Chamberlain froze, "He probably heard that," he thought . He was so embarra.s.sed and a little bit scared when he saw his father in-law's reaction .

Lena noticed Chamberlain had stopped moving, she looked at him and followed his gaze, "Father…"

Chamberlain gulped .

Mr . Hansberry got up from his seat and strode towards them . His eyes and mouth were agape . His emotions moved from shock to anger . The love bites, her weird posture, their earlier conversation, the evidence was before him, his daughter has been eaten clean .

His head was telling him they were already married but his heart was already blinded by rage as he attacked Chamberlain . "You beast! What did you do to my daughter?!"

"Calm down father… nothing I didn't consent to . "

"What has it got to do with consent? You can't walk on your own and look," he said pointing at the hickeys on her neck .

All of a sudden, she felt wearing a turtleneck top would have been best but Chamberlain had said he liked it, that she should wear his love marks proudly .

She was a little bit proud of it too… she was now a woman . Who would have thought it was not just the servants they had to face but her father too?
