Scott McBaran's POV
I was tying my tie as I was waiting for Karla to put on her dress. It was a red dress with long sleeves and it falls to her knees. I think that was a subtle way to get introduced as my wife. Not everyone knows that the Duke, Marquess, Earl, and their Baron have married.
All of them.
I smirked before I was looking at my reflection as I was smoothing my hair before I was looking at the bathroom. What's taking Karla so long? We have showered together, as well as have some dessert, just now and right now, I don't know what was Karla doing in the bathroom. She told me that she wanted to put on the dress.
"Karla? Are you okay in there? Do you need any help?" I asked as I was knocking on the door before Karla was opening the door and she smiled at me.
"No, I think I'm good for now," she said as she was stepping out of the bathroom. I was looking at her as she was adorning the dress before I smirked as she bent to get her heels. Damn this little minx!
"Hmm, mmm," I cleared my throat before Karla turned to look at me, hoping that she would get the message. I don't know why but her green eyes were glistening with mischief.
"What re you doing?" I asked her as she was tying her heels before she was tying the other one. This was pure torture with her ass in the air and I was looking at them.
"I was tying my shoes. Why? Do you want to help me?" she asked me before she was looking at me over her shoulder. I was glaring at her before she smirked. After she was done, she stood up but her ass was still a prominent figure to me.
She walked to the vanity before she was taking the red lipstick and she was putting it on. I swore this woman was trying to make me angry before she was capping off the lipstick as she was smiling at my reflection in the mirror. I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Come on, I'm ready," Karla said as she was taking the crutch that she will be carrying tonight. It was black and her dress was red. Her hair was put up in a chignon style that made her looked like a queen right now.
"After you, husband," she said as she was putting her hand on the crook of my elbow. I was arching my eyebrow before we were walking out of the honeymoon suite. I swear I will glare at any man that dared to stare at my wife tonight.
It will be a long night.
We were descending the elevator when it reached the lobby. As the door opened, we walked outside the elevator as I saw a group of men was looking at Karla. She was walking by my side, wearing my rings, and yet still, another man lusted over her.
I think I have to make sure that their eyeballs were out so that they were not staring.
"Do not worry, my love. They will not have my eyes on them. Only you," she whispered before I was smirking.
"You better or I will kill them myself," I said as I was biting her earlobe. She giggled.
"I cannot wait," she said as I was looking at the valet of the hotel. We stayed at a hotel for the night of the ball so that it will not interfere with our journey to the ballroom that Conall has rented for the ball.
I was opening the door for my wife before I helped her in to slide into the car. I closed to the door before I caught that the young valet was looking at my wife. I was paid for him before I was glaring at him.
"Get your eyes off my wife," I hissed at him as he jumped before he was nodding and saying sorry to me. I rolled my eyes before I was walking toward the driver's seat and got in. Karla smirked at me.
"Did you scold that young boy?"
"He was staring at what's mine. I cannot have him do that," I said before Karla was smiling and putting her hand on my knee. I shifted the gear into D as I was speeding off from the lobby and we were on the street of London.
Yes, you guessed it right. I don't know why but Conall was asked to make the ball in London. I mean, we can just do it in Edinburgh but no, Addington wanted them in London. God, even though we were married, that guy still bossed us around.
I think one of these days he will be too old and we will ignore him.
But of course, being the fittest person, and not to mention the skills and knowledge that Addington has, I think he will live for another 100 years.
"We're here," I said as I was looking at the building that stood tall right now. I was looking at the guests and they were none of my men.
I wondered if they are here yet.
"You think people will recognize me?" Karla asked me so suddenly that I was arching my eyebrow at her.
"What do you mean?" I asked her as she was fidgeting in her seat.
"Hey, it will be okay. Nothing will harm you," I said as I was taking her hand before I kissed the knuckles of her hand. Karla smiled at me before the door was opened and we were out of the car to get into the ballroom with Conall and Katrina waiting for us.
Karla Kuznetsov's POV
Oh My God!
I don't think that the High Society of London was this crowded and packed. I think I might want to get some air before I can continue to stand by Scott's side. He was one of the biggest suppliers for technology companies for components. I am married to a billionaire and I just know it.
Not that I cared anyway.
As I was walking around the crowd, smiling and nodding at the people that were introducing themselves to me, I saw that my sister was sitting at the other end of the ballroom. I did not saw Conall with her so I approached her.
"Kat? What are you doing here?" I asked her as she turned and I saw that her eyes were red. I don't think that Kat would ever cry in public but right now, she was.
"Oh, Karla. I don't know if I can keep this secret anymore," she said as she was looking at me. I was arching my eyebrows before I was looking around.
"Where' Conall?"
"Talking to Addington. He was not what he seems to be," Kat said as I was arching my eyebrows even more. Now, this gets better and better.
"What do you mean?" I asked her as she was looking at me. She was taking a deep breath before she was nodding at me.
"Well, you do know that Conall and his gang were royalties, right?" Kat asked me as I was nodding.
"Yeah, I saw it somewhere in the news or something. Our secret marriage was splashing across the front page of a newspaper for goodness sake!" I said as I was smiling at Kat. She was sighing before she was looking at me.
"And you do know how much the English hate Russians, right? I mean, through the Cold War and everything,"
"I mean, they might change their perspectives now. But why does it matter?" I asked her before she dropped the bomb on me.
"I'm pregnant," she said as I was blinking at her. She was freaking out because she was pregnant.
"You what?" Someone asked us before we turned to look that Conall was walking toward us with Addington. He whispered something to Conall before patting his shoulder. I was stepping away from my sister to give them some privacy.
"Yes, I am pregnant with your child, Conall. And I know that you might—"
"That was the happiest news I ever heard in my entire life, my love. Oh, thank Lord," Conall said as I was smiling at them before Conall kissed my sister. She was shocked to see that her husband was happy.
"You're not mad at me?" Kat asked her husband before Conall was furrowing his eyebrows.
"And why would I?"
"Because I am Russian and I am carrying your child," she asked Conall before he hugged my sister. I found it sweet when my brother in law and sister were trying to resolve a problem.
"I don't care about that,"
"You might not. But what about the High Society of London? They might frown upon me," Kat said before Edmond was laughing and I turned to see the gang was here. Even Scott when he was coming to stand beside me.
"Darling, nothing will happen. If they as much to talk about you, I would send them all to hell," Lyana said as I was looking at her. Ari nodded her head.
"Yes, and who knows they might lose something valuable," Ari said as I was looking at Lucas. He scowled before his wife was consoling him. Kat was looking at us before she settled on me. I smiled.
"And if they as much to gossip about my niece or nephew. I will break them apart," I said before the others were gasping.
"Wait, you're pregnant?"
"Oh, congratulation!"
"This is the best news I ever heard since coming here,"
"Reid, I think you're a breeder now,"
"Shut up, Lattone. I think the next thing will be Addington asking you to breed as well,"
"Eh, fair point," Edmond said before I was looking at the ruckus of the group. Scott was pulling me to his side before I turned to look into his garnet eyes.
"And I will be happy if we can wait for a year a two. I want to ravish you first, Karla," Scott whispered before I chuckled lowly.
I turned to look at him as I was kissing his lips for a moment. "My thoughts exactly," I said before I was looking at the group that was exchanging banter and laughter. I never thought that I would be like this but I think I finally safe to say that I have a family and I will cherish it until forever.
With Scott by my side.
