The next day Adrianna got a message from Tony telling her that the yacht tour was tonight. He was hoping that both she and Cedric were not too busy and could join him. Cedric's workload was significantly lightened with Ian taking on the lead for the expansion project, so he could easily move his meetings around.

Adrianna got lucky because for some reason the managers of Constellations, Elisia, and Breeze Air had all of their meetings moved, so it gave her and her team more time to prepare, meaning less overtime for Adrianna since she didn't need to see all the proposals in one day.

The tour was scheduled to be a sunset and night time tour with guests catching the famed bay sunset and having dinner as the yacht cruised along the shoreline. There were only fifteen guests per trip so the tour was highly coveted even among locals.

Cedric and Adrianna were waiting at the boarding area five minutes before the agreed upon time with Tony. When Tony arrived all three of them got on the deck of the yacht.

"Didn't you study university in the capital?" Adrianna asked Tony.

"I did. I studied in the capital when I was in high school and university. But I stayed at home or in school most of the time, I really didn't get to enjoy being here. After graduating from university I stayed at the province most of the time and only came over for important meetings." Tony said looking into the distance.

As the tour continued Adrianna looked out into the city she grew up in, Cedric gave her a hug from behind.

"What are you thinking about?" Cedric asked Adrianna as the yacht cruised along the bay.

"There are fourteen million people in the capital, and still I managed to find you." Adrianna looked up at Cedric and smiled sweetly. Cedric looked at her and smiled back.

"I'll always be here for you Adrianna, always remember that." Cedric said in reply.

"I'm just glad that you aren't like all those rich boys." Adrianna told Cedric.

"What do you mean?" Cedric asked.

"With you I feel like, everything I am is genuinely me. I achieved everything on my own, and people around me didn't have to give me everything because I married a powerful man. I never felt like I needed to take a step back in my career because I might hurt your ego. I'm glad you're not some rich heir." Adrianna hugged him tight.

"Adri, just remember, I'll always be me." Cedric placed a light kiss on Adrianna's lips.

Adrianna's phone suddenly began to ring.

"I'll go hangout with Tony." Cedric said leaving Adrianna alone.

"Your wife is beautiful." Tony said as Cedric stood next to him.

"Yeah, I'm really lucky she was happy to settle with a guy like me." Cedric grinned.

"I won't lie. When I saw her picture in the Lobo home I had every intention of pursuing her, and all her relatives pushed me to do so." Tony admitted to Cedric.

"What changed your mind?" Cedric asked.

"I saw her in the news a couple of times. She's always referred to as Mrs. Adrianna Hernandez-Reyes. At first I actually thought she was married to the Reyes heir. The gossip that gets to us in the province isn't exactly accurate." Tony laughed.

"Her family doesn't seem to care that we are married." Cedric said with a sigh, he knew that the moment his identity was revealed to the public both the Hernandez and Lobo families would be jumping up and down to recognize him as their son-in-law.

"You better keep her happy. A lot of men want to make her happy. And I won't lie, if you break her heart I won't wait for you to fix things." Tony threatened with a smile. He had fallen in love with Adrianna's photo and had been waiting to meet her when he found out she was actually married. He was heartbroken to find out that the girl of his dreams was already someone else's.

Meanwhile Adrianna's phone call had just ended and she went over to Cedric and Tony with amazing news.

"Cedric! Cedric!" Adrianna hugged her husband tight.

"What is it?" Cedric asked, laughing at her childlike behavior.

"That was one of the reporters from Abad TV Network. They are making a piece called 30 women under 30 and they want me to be in it!" Adrianna proudly announced.

Even Cedric was surprised because Ram hadn't called him to tell Cedric about this.

"I'm so proud of you honey!" Cedric lifted her in a hug and spun her around.

"Congratulations Miss Adrianna! Wow, that's amazing. The Abad TV Network's top list is known to be unbiased. Even the daughter of the owner has never been on that list." Tony congratulated Adrianna on her achievement. Of course it wasn't true that the owner's daughter had never been on the list, people just didn't know that Veronica was actually Anna Abad. Even the reporters who wrote the news didn't know about the relationship between Ram Abad and Veronica.

"Did they give you any details?" Cedric asked Adrianna.

"Well they said the shoot can only be done in a weeks time, they are still waiting for one of the girls to come back from the USA and another to come back from a seminar in Dubai, so we'll be doing a photoshoot, a video shoot, and an interview that day." Adrianna explained.

"Well, why don't I treat us to dinner at Nouveau?" Tony asked.

"It's not easy to get a reservation there." Adrianna explained.

"Well we could try." Tony said with a wink.

Of course when they got there the manager escorted them to a miraculously vacant table. Cedric had sent a message to Camilla before the end of the yacht tour.

As the night came to an end Adrianna felt more comfortable being around Tony, he didn't seem to be a threat like all the other guys.

A week later the reporter called Adrianna to tell her that all of the ladies participating in the shoot were already there.
