The Vindication Gents

Chapter 2.32

Christina Romano’s POV

“We will be in touch with you later, Mrs. Romano,” the lawyer said as he was greeting Tony as well.

“Well, that was not so bad for your new endearment, Mrs. Romano,” Tony said as he was smirking at me. I turned to look at him as he was drawing me closer into his arms, my hands on his chest.

“Well, I could not say it better myself, Mr. Romano,” I said as I chuckled before he dipped his head. We were about to kiss before Nina cleared her throat. Tony groaned as he was nuzzling my neck before we turned to look at her.

“You have a phone call from one Kai Virtanen?” She said as she wrote her notes. Tony groaned before he took the phone. He was talking in Hungarian with the person at the end of the phone.

Huh, I never knew that Antonio was fluent in Hungarian. Then, it hit me. The times when I mumbled in Hungarian, I know he would not understand, since I was talking fast. I felt like I wanted the ground to sink me right now.

How humiliating!

I saw that Tony was done with the phone call before he told Nina to get the jet. I looked at him as he was smirking while his eyes were twinkling with something.

Mischief, that’s something.

“Okay, I see that you’re happy. So do you care to share with your wife?” I asked him as I was crossing my hands over my chest. He chuckled before he pulled me into his arms.

“You know, I kind of like it when you said wife,” he said as he was smiling lovingly at me. I arched my eyebrows at him.

“Well, better get used to it, husband.”

“Sounds much better,” he said before he kissed me briefly. We were in the open, so there would be more time to do more than kiss. Suddenly, my face was hot. Tony chuckled before he whispered something to me.

“When we land in Finland, we will be all alone, my love,” he said as he kissed my earlobe. I was trying to hide the smile that was forming on my lips before Tony instructed everyone that we would be going to the airport.

The drive was short as I got out of the car where Tony helped me out. He put his jacket around my shoulders like my strapless dress. I know that he hated it when people looked at me with hunger.

“Okay, move out,” he instructed before he helped me to get inside the plane. We went to the usual spot as the flight attendant gave me a glass of champagne. I turned to look at Tony as he approved me to get some drinks.

“I wanted you wild tonight, my love,” he whispered into my ears as I choked on the drink. He chuckled before he took the glass and took a sip.

The plane departed and I felt sleepy as my eyes were dozing off. Tony asked the flight attendant to get a blanket and he put it around me. I went to snuggle with him as I was drifting into wonderland, but this time I was smiling because I knew that I had snatched the prize of my wet dreams in real life.

Antonio Romano’s POV

I looked at Christina who was asleep beside me. She looked so cute but I had to get her up as she still wore her makeup. It was not good for the skin before we went to sleep. I would do that when we were alone in the hotel room that I had asked Nina to rent for a week.

I will be staying with my new wife in Finland for a week. I smiled at the thought. The plane was descending as Christina was still asleep. I have to make sure that she will be awake for our venture tonight.

But first, I have to take care of business.

We got off the plane as I carried Christina in my hands. I don’t care about the paparazzi anymore. If they wanted to write an article about me with Christina, so be it. It was not like I was doing something illegal after all.

“Go to the hotel first,” I instructed my driver as I was holding Christina close to me. I was smiling at her sleeping figure as she was mumbling about something. I think I heard silk and satin or something.

We arrived in the lobby as the bell boy opened the door for us. I thanked him as I went to the receptionist as I requested for my room as I was holding Christina in my hands. It was Virtanen’s hotel, so it was not that strange to me.

I met Kai Virtanen when he was assigned to a royal retreat back in Africa. I was sent by Hungary and he was sent by Finland. It was an instant friendship as we just clicked right away.

“Here’s your key, sir,” the receptionist said as I took it before I went to the elevator. Christina was still asleep as I asked for people to make way for me.

“Sorry, excuse me. Coming through,” I said as I went inside the elevator before someone asked me what floor.

“Floor 7 please, thank you,” I said before the door closed. We were waiting for the elevator to reach our floor as I was holding Christina in my hands.

Damn, she was heavy for someone petite.

The elevator dinged as I looked at the floor. Floor 7, it was me as I got out of the elevator. I went to the room before I swiped the key and pushed through. Our luggage was there before I went to put Christina on the bed.

“I’ll be back. I will see you later, my love,” I said as I was caressing her cheeks before I remembered that I had to get her makeup off. I went to search for a makeup wipe in my tools before I went to get all the residue on her face. She was better than in makeup anyway, so I was happy to get rid of my masterpiece from her face.

“Done, I will see you later,” I said as I kissed her lips briefly as I called for my driver to get ready. I went to get my tools and I was ready to meet Kai and his bride for a surprise that he planned for her.

The driver pulled over in the foyer as I went inside the car and instructed the driver to go to the Royal Castle of the King and Queen of Finland. He asked me for a second confirmation as I showed him the invitation from Kai himself. He nodded before he went to the castle without any more questions.

As we arrived at the castle, the intercom asked what my intention was to be there. I told them that I was Antonio Romano, here to be with the future King and Queen of Finland. They let us in before I was greeted by a familiar face.

“John, how are you?” I said to Kathleen, a trusted butler/caretaker.

“Master Kai and Mistress Kathleen have been waiting for you,” he said, as he did not smile at me. I smiled at him as I walked toward the front door.

“What can I say? The traffic was harsh,” I said before I went to follow John to the room that they were in.

“Well, hello, motherfuckers!” I shouted as I burst through the door. I saw that Kai was cursing something under his breath as I had just interrupted their time alone.

“Tony?” Kathleen asked. I smiled at her.

“Ciao, Bella. You look gorgeous today,” I said as I was eyeing her clothing. It was all wrong for some reason.

“Tony, watch where you stare at her,” Kai said before he went to claim his wife in his possession. I laughed as I put up my hands to say that he had nothing to fear from me.

Maybe he did not notice my wedding or anything.

“Okay, fine, let’s just get onto it,” I said as I was clapping my hands at them.

“What to get on to?” Kathleen asked as she was looking at Kai. He just smirked at the question.

“You’ll see,” he said before we moved to the next agenda as we moved into another room that I had prepared for this occasion.

“Nope,”

“Nope,”

“Yes, but it makes her eyes a little dull, don’t you think?”

“Nope,”

“Nope,”

I went through her wardrobe once again as I was looking for that palatial vibe and all that jazz. Then I pulled on another dress.

“How about this one?” I pulled the green dress that was off the shoulder and it ended above her knees.

“Too much exposure to the skin and I hate it when people are looking at my wife,” Kai replied before I rolled my eyes and cursed in Italian.

“Okay, can we just have a time out please?” Kathleen said as she was talking with Kai in their language. I did not understand a word, but I held out my hands to get out of this mess.

“Okay, I guess that’s my cue to leave the room,” I said as I went to greet John. He instructed me that it would be a long time before I could get inside the room. I get what he meant. Seeing it with my own eyes, I knew exactly what was happening inside that room. Hours later, I had chosen a blood-red satin dress for Kathleen.

“Do not rip the dress,” I warned her as she was staring at me.

“Why do you say that?” She replied.

“I know you, princess, as Kai mentioned back in Hungary, you literally—“

“Okay, enough. No ripping the dress or whatsoever,” she gave in before I smiled at her. I turned to her to look at what I had done to her makeup. She gasped.

“Do you not like it?” I asked her. She was speechless to say anything as she just shook her head.

“No, it’s just…It’s too beautiful to ignore me now. Kai would be furious,” she said before I waved my hand dismissively at her. Then I saw that she was about to cry, but I stopped her before she did that.

“Ah, ah, ah, I have spent some time on this. Do not ruin it now,” I said as Kathleen was sucking her tears before she went to get her husband. He was in another room. I went to pack all the things that I had used before I was ready to go. I heard some conversation before I went to barge inside the room.

Kathleen was ready to ruin my makeup again by kissing Kai. I scowled in their direction. Did I just say that does not ruin your makeup, Kathleen? She was more like Christina than that.

“Do not ruin your makeup,” I said as I ushered them into the conference room. Once they were inside, it was my cue to leave. To the hotel room for our sweet honeymoon. To my sweet Christina and I think my heart swelled at that notion.
