The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 415 – Duke And Duchess Of Higherlands

  Tracey watched as her husband exercised in the garden with weights and all equipment. He's topless and too sexy. She shook her head with a smirk as she sipped on her juice while gawking at him with full passion. She gently put her glass down and continued admiring her sexy husband. He takes a break after lifting weights. Then, he jogged to her, reached for the towel, pat it on his face and he bent down and turned his head to her as he gave her a passionate kiss. 

"Since I am still on vacation," he rubbed her round tummy. "We can visit a few places." 

"But do you think it's okay if we leave for a while?" 

"Of course, we have to visit our residence." 

"Residence? Here?" She was confused. 

"Yup. We can set up a room for our baby that is joined to our room. I've been there and the scenery is very calming." 

"I would like to see our residence." She reached his face and kissed him. 

  Ace sneered as he put his tray down and sat down. 

"If the two of you become like this all day, I swear. I'm going to jump from the rooftop." 

"Then, jump," Ian smirked at him as he turned to Ace. "Do that, it will be fun to see." 

"Oh, shit." Ace shook his head. 

"Come on." Ian insisted on him. "Jump from the rooftop of the castle. It's very high from here." 

"No." 

"Love," Tracey giggled and reached his nape. "Stop that. Guinevere is busy at work and he's bored." She smirked at Ace who glared at her. 

"The two of you match together." Ace shook his head as he took the tacos and took a big bite. "You two deserve each other!" 

  The couple kissed again in front of him and he took his tray and sat at another table away from the couple. Ian stood behind her and kissed her top head. 

"Let's go upstairs to get ready." 

"Okay," 

  He held her hand and helped her up. Then, Tracey looked at Ace. 

"Do you want to go with us?" She asked nicely. 

"Nope. I don't want to be your third wheel."

"Fine." She giggled as she left with her husband. 

"Jerks!" Ace shouted at them as Ian raised a middle finger while his other arms were around her.

  Ace sighed and continued eating his food. 

"Those two are perfect for each other." He mumbled.

Duke Del Carlo Residence

  It was one hour drive from the castle. Tracey gaped at the big manor. It was beautiful and out of a fairy tale. 

"There's no ghost in here right?" 

"We will know it soon." He winked as he led her inside. A lot of delivery trucks came, delivering appliances, furniture, and other things. He took her inside as she gasped at the beautiful hall and ballroom. "There has been a renovation and do you like it? I mostly keep all of the things here clean and as it is." 

"It's beautiful. You don't have to change at all." 

"My Butler," he said and pointed at his busy Butler. "Has been handling things around here for months now." 

"That's great. Thank you for your service." Tracey said as she happily looked around. "I will hold a ball here." 

  Ian toured her to the ballroom that has no furniture around, but it was already beautiful as the chandelier was catchy enough and it was fancy. 

"That chandelier has been there before Karmina was born." 

"Wow," Her eyes widened. 

"I had it cleaned first since I know that you will love it." 

"I don't mind living in a Manor like this even though there were ghosts somewhere." 

  Ian laughed and patted her head. 

"Do you want to see our room?" 

"Yeah," 

  They walked up the stairs and he said that they will have an elevator for each floor. It will be an old-fashioned yet modern Manor. Their mansion back when in the Philippines was beautiful but this manor is different. It was old-fashioned like they are living out of a fairytale and medieval times. 

  It was a long walk to their bedroom. There were a lot of rooms but the main master bedroom was very special as it has a joined room that was big as the master's bedroom. 

"Wow," She turned around and went to the bed. "It's settled here?" 

"Of course," He grinned at her. 

"But we can't do whatever you want." 

"Well," He shrugged. "We will discuss that later. But let's check the balcony." 

  She followed him to the balcony. She gasped when she saw a lot of gardeners. 

"There are a lot of people here that I hired from far away to be gardeners and farmers. In this part, we will have flowers and then near the kitchen will be fruits and vegetables. So, we don't have to buy food outside for the main ingredients. This manor will save more money." 

"That's genius of you." 

"It takes time to make the soil fertile but for now, they are slowly planting a lot of vegetables and fruits. Once everything is settled here, we could move in here. However, I tend to stay more in the castle as the Queen's adviser." 

"Oh," She sighed. "So, I can't see you a lot?" 

"Well, let's say that it's your hubby getting to work." 

"I have money. I can even buy you." She told him. 

  Ian laughed so hard and he leaned on the parapet. Then, he removed a few buttons from the top of his shirt to seduce his wife. 

"So, my Duchess. Are you sure that you have no appetite?" 

"I only like to watch you." She smirked at him. 

  A knock on the door interrupted them. They turned their heads to the Butler who bowed while he had a tray of snacks followed by the maids. They quickly set it up on the table on their wide balcony. He smiled at her as he stepped forward and kissed her lips. 

"You need to think about it, Duchess." 

"Babe, I'm due in a few weeks." She whispered at him. "But I can help you out." She gave him a sexy lopsided smile. 

"Later," He whispered in her ear and he reached her tummy. "Are you hungry?" 

"Hmm," 

  He takes her to the table as he pulls a chair for her and makes sure that she's comfortable enough. He sat down beside her as the maids came with a water basin with lemon on it for them to wash their hands. She couldn't stop grinning. She wiped her hands and pointed to the tarts. 

"Sweets?" He asked.

"Yes, why not?" 

  He tilted his head with a little crease on his forehead. 

"Love, you've been eating a lot of sweets." 

"This is the last. I will only eat one this time." 

"Okay," he nodded his head. They somehow heard a loud honk and he looked at his Butler. He cleared his throat as he bent down to whisper in his ear. He nodded his head. 

"What is it?" She asked. 

"You don't need to worry about anything. Let's call out the interior designers." 

"Yes, sir." 

  She stared at her husband for long waiting for him to tell her whatever the Butler told him about. 

"I hired these student interior designers for their on-the-job training. I had seen their work and it was great. Although they need a long way to go." 

"Hmm," she sipped on her raspberry tea. "So, what is the other thing all about?" 

"Uhm, it happened that the Lefebure just found our residence but the security already blocked them miles from the main entrance of the manor." 

"Oh," She creased her brows. "But is she crazy to fall in love with you at the first sight?" 

"Hmm," He shrugged at her. "I don't know that women would get crazy like that over me. I mean, Violet wasn't like that and you weren't like that." 

"So, you would prefer them?" 

"No. I prefer the hard way." He winked. She scoffed and gently put down her teacup. 

"I can't believe you would say that." She mumbled. 

"What?" 

"I am easy to get. We fuck for one night and then to the second nightstand…" She sighed. 

"We still hit it off and it works." He smirked. "It was hard to get you. Do you know that? I have to kill a lot of people just to protect you. It was fun though. All of the hot scenarios." He whispered and kissed her lips. 

"Yeah," She agreed and held the back of his head as they kissed further. She giggled and he shoved his face to her neck and kissed it. "Are we still in the honeymoon stage although I'm pregnant?" 

"Why not?" he grinned. Shortly, the interior designers came. There were two females and two males. They have their equipment and brochures. 

  They bow or curtsied to show respect to the Duke and Duchess. 

"Wow, I will never get used to this." She murmured.

"I am sure you will." He grinned as he gestured for them to start. The Butler provided a big screen as they presented ideas about the ballroom and suggested whatever the Duchess would like. "Let's start with the study room. My wife needs her very own office." 

  They suggested whatever the Duchess liked since Ian's assistant already gave them an idea of what kind of style the Duchess wanted. 

"I am excited about our baby's room. But she needs to stay with us until she can sleep on her own.." She whispered at him.
