The whole gossip circle was shock at the news about a certain royalty who got pregnant out of wedlock. The Institution forbids that kind of occurrence.

Inside the Yushkova mansion, Duchess Ruth became furious as she read a letter from the Palace. It says that she had been stripped off of her title and was banned from entering the Palace grounds.

Additionally, her parents were demoted and the clan cannot rule for three generations.

"Gaaahhhh!" The duchess torn the paper. She cannot accept this kind of fate. She tried to call the Prime Minister but she couldn't get through. She tried and tried but the line became inactive later on.

Her reputation was ruined and she cannot go back to the Northern continent in the near future. The duchess face was contorted as she has to live with this nasty family and endure for a longer period.

She closed her eyes in frustration. She's trapped either way and she cannot do something about it because she's currently powerless.

On the other side of the mansion, Victoria also received the news about the duchess. She sighed as the woman was now without worth and will be another burden for the family.

After preparing, Victoria planned to go out for shopping. She needed a dress for the upcoming dinner party hosted by the Gates family. Everyone was excited because this is the first time that the prominent family will hold such a social gathering.

The Gates are known to be a private clan and the business world was astonished that they will finally open their doors to the outside world. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity thus she needs to present herself in a very classy way.

Before she even stepped out of the bedroom, Old maid Zuzu brought in a tiny black box.

"Where did it came from?" Victoria inquired and looked at the box.

"Madam, it came from The Belle Shop courtesy of the Gates family." The old maid responded politely.

"The Gates surely live up to one's expectation. They're very generous." Victoria praised.

"Indeed. Word says, that every woman who was invited received a customized jewelry."

Victoria nodded in satisfaction and was amazed by the ornamental piece. It's very captivating.

The sun was about to rise and the quietness of the surroundings can make one to fall asleep continuously.

Alexander opened his eyes and sensed that his wife was already awake but still lying beside him. Her back was facing him and her silhouette was soft and alluring. He kissed her bare shoulder and asked, "Babe, what are you thinking?"

"Angel..." Natalia responded absent-mindedly and continued staring at the windows.

Hearing this, Alexander spooned her and just waited for his wife to share her thoughts. He noticed that she's not crying compared with his previous experience.

"I dreamed about my angel. We're both happy and finally at peace. My angel already said goodbye and told me not to weep anymore..so I didn't." Natalia smiled and turned her head at Alexander. Her tender eyes exploring deep within him assuring that she's fine as what she had told.

Her husband gave her light kisses on the face and a lone tear escaped her eyes but it was a happy one.

"I love you." Alexander uttered affectionately then impend over his wife.

Natalia flushed. "I love you too..."

The sweet moment turned to a heated one. They're bodies became elated as they reached their peaks several times.

"Aahhh." Natalia felt Alexander's teeth as he gave her a love bite. Her husband chuckled as she shivered under him.

'This man!'

She gave him a death stare and pushed his body away.

Alexander just laughed as Natalia stood up and went to the bathroom. Before his wife fastened the door, he swiftly squeezed himself in.

"What're you doing?" The woman gaped at her husband.

"Conserving water." The husband casually picked up his wife and strode towards the glass shower stall.

Natalia shook her head and didn't protest anymore.

"Do you need any assistance for the upcoming dinner party?" Alexander inquired while cooking their breakfast.

"No. Everything is well prepared. You have provided me with a great team. Thank you." Natalia responded as she drinks her hot chocolate. She's the one who personally organizes the Gates' year end party for the past weeks. It will be held at the Gate's ancestral mansion, which in Natalia's eyes was a combination of a big palace and a grand hotel.

As what they've promised to Daniel, the party will be focused on celebrating their wedding. They've invited family, friends and also their fellow businessmen.

Alexander put the dishes on the dinning table and his wife started eating.

"You're getting good at this." Natalia proudly praised him and gave him a wink as she munched on her food. She ate heartily and finished all the meals on the table.

Alexander, "..."

"What? After all those activities, I'm famished." Natalia reasoned out as she stood up and washed the dirty dishes.

Lately, Alexander observed that his wife desires plenty of foods instead of him. He jiggled his head and just smiled at her graciously.

"Ready?" Jake asked Trish as they marched on the aisle after the pastor pronounced them as husband and wife.

They chose an intimate garden wedding held inside the Zimmer estate. Their family and close friends were the witnesses on that auspicious day.

"Ready." Trish responded happily to her husband's question. She's ready to journey with him for the rest of her life.

Everyone cheered for them and requested another kiss from the newly wed couple. The two willingly complied and were all smiles throughout the celebration.

Daniel couldn't be any happier. His two children finally found their better halves. His eyes became sweaty and he treasured every moment that's been given to him by the Higher Being.

"Grandpa King!" Hannah skipped her way to the old man. She gave him a big hug and giggled after.

"Oh child. Thank you for being here." He told the girl as he tapped her hands. Daniel is fond of the little girl who consistently visited him every week. The child surely added colors to their lives.

Natalia and Alexander approached the two.

"Grandpa King, I'm always going to be here now." Hannah smiled at the old man.

Daniel was confused and looked at the two couple behind the little girl. Jake and Trish also followed and joined the little surprise.

"She's one of us now, Dad." Jake beamed at him and embraced his father as well.

The family adopted Hannah and will be the last Zimmer heir.

"Oh my. Come here you sweet girl." Daniel lifted Hannah and spun her around.

"Thank you very much." He uttered to his children.
