The Devil's Love For The Heiress

Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Surprise Wedding Gift

Stepping down from the stage, Kate saw her family walking toward them. Samantha, for one, had her arms open, ready to embrace her official son-in-law.

“Mom,” Carlos called. As he held Kate’s hand, he used his other hand to embrace Samantha

“I’m so happy. I am so happy,” Samantha claimed. She was hugging The Devil tightly, her hands caressing Carlos’ back.

“You are officially my son, and I could not be happier.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Thank you, mom. Thank you for loving me as your own,” Carlos responded. He could not help but smile, feeling the genuineness of Samantha’s words.

“I am also elated to call you my mother-in-law.”

On all the LED screens, everyone could see how the Wrights greeted Carlos. The cameras especially zoomed in on how Samantha cried and how she held Carlos’ face. Soon, everyone saw how Ethan also embraced Carlos.

One by one, the men of the wrights gave Carlos a welcome hug.

“Finally, ” Kaleb said.

“We’ve always been brothers, but now the world knows it. I’m stoked to have The Devil as my brother- in-law.”

On the other hand, Kyle declared, “I’m pleased it was you, and I’m glad my sister never liked anyone else after you left.”

He shook Carlos’ hand and asked, “Take care of my sister.”

“I will, definitely,” Carlos confirmed.

“Thank you, Kyle.”

“Carlos,” Gaby said. She was teary-eyed as she embraced Carlos.

“Thank you for fulfilling Kate’s dreams. You have no idea how much she wanted to be with you and have this wedding come true.”

“Her dreams are mine too, Gaby,” Carlos acknowledged.

“Carlos,” Andrew called, extending his hand to The Devil.

“Welcome to the family. Remember, The Kentworthys are an extension to the Wrights.”

“Carlos, son. I am the happiest father, and I’m sure Manuel and Agness would be happy too if they were alive,” Ethan said.

“I am proud to call you my son.”

“Group hug! To Kate and Carlos!” Kenzie encouraged, and they gathered around the couple in front of the visitors and The Devil’s fans. Many wondered how close Carlos was with the Wrights, especially after his interview with the KNW Lifestyle media, but this was the first time he appeared on national TV with Kate’s family.

“The Wrights really love him.”

“It’s true. The Wrights were certainly his second family.”

“So glad to see The Devil married into a great family.”

Murmurs around the stadium could be heard right after the Wrights shared a warm group hug in front of the crowd. Many of Carlos’ fans were happy for him, some teary-eyed at how he easily belonged, especially since they all knew he lost his parents at a young age. On social media, Braeton residents praised the Wright family. They were known not just for their business, but for the closeness of their household. The locals in the city added their remarks to the live broadcast.

(The Devil married into an admirable family.)

[The Wrights are very devoted to their family. They are very righteous, too. So happy for The Devil!)

(Kate and Carlos were our high school classmates. Somehow, we always knew they would end up together. Best wishes, you two!)

The celebration of Carlos and Kate’s wedding resumed. Live music followed as the party kicked in. Soon, Kate had her last dance with Ethan. The father and daughter were dancing to slow music when Kate suddenly asked, “ Dad, why aren’t you crying at my wedding? You cried when Kenzie got married. Are you excited about kicking me out of the house?”

Ethan laughed. He answered, “First of all, you have been living with Carlos for many months. You have long been evicted. Then, it was different with your sister. Do you remember how instant their wedding was? Plus, she was the first to get married amongst my children and my first princess at that. It did not also help that she would live continents away from me.”

Looking into Kate’s eyes, he added, “You, on the contrary, will live three blocks away from your mom and me. I’m not worried. I will still see you every day. Will I miss you? Of course, but many years have passed since Kenzie married, and your mom and I have different priorities now -”

“Like having your second honeymoon?” Kate asked before chuckling.

“Don’t you dare think I missed how you often give the maids an off! Haha!”

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Ethan denied it, his eyes looking elsewhere. When he found Samantha admiring their dance, he smiled at his wife and revealed, “Your mom and I, we want to travel around the world. And yes, can’t your parents have another honeymoon stage?”

“You are all grown up. It’s a chance for your mom and me to have our alone time,” Ethan revealed. “But Kate, don’t get me wrong. I will miss you, my princess. I was there from the very start with you and Kaleb. If anything, I have every reason to be more protective of you, but somehow, I feel at ease with your marriage. I don’t mind letting you go.”

Soon, Ethan found Carlos staring back at them. He suggested, “Because you married Carlos, and I know he had always loved you since you were young. I know he will cherish you, treat you like a gem.”

“Words cannot express how proud I am of you for having a husband like Carlos.”

He caressed her cheek and said, “Treat him well. Love him. Remember that nothing is more important than family, and together, you and Carlos, you will start your own family, one that you will protect and love.”

Kate nodded. Water Welled in her eyes, hearing her father’s advice. She echoed,” Family is the most important.”

“That’s my girl,” Ethan said.

“That’s my princess.”

Hugging Ethan, Kate said, “I love you, dad. Thank you for everything; for raising me, for all your advice, and for supporting my relationship with Carlos. I will miss you and mom too. For me, you are the best parents in the world.”

“Well, my princess. You don’t have any other parents to compare it to, but I’m glad you feel that way,” Ethan said, and they both giggled.

The next day, Kate and Carlos took a private flight. They traveled several hours to their final destination. Kate’s eyes were covered when their plane was about to land on the ground.

From stepping down from the craft to riding on another smaller plane, Kate could only guess where they were going. When they seemed to have arrived, Kate felt the smaller plane bouncing against its landing area, and water splashing could be heard.

“We rode a seaplane. It’s the only logical explanation for the smaller seats and no restroom. That’s why you asked me to go to the restroom beforehand!” Kate guessed.

Carlos laughed and confirmed, “Yes, we rode on a seaplane.”

After the seaplane, the couple and Carlos’ security team rode on a speedboat. From there, Kate guessed they were heading to an island. That was the only sensible justification for such a detour.

“Which country are we in? What island?” Kate asked. She tried to peek through her blindfold, but all she could see was light. It was bright. She could hear the waves and felt the gush of the wind against her face, but she could see very little of her surroundings.

“Relax, will you?” Carlos suggested while chuckling.

The couple stood on the receiving jetty on an island, and from there, Carlos finally removed Kate’s blindfold.

Kate’s eyes fluttered open, her smile reaching her ears at the sight of a beautiful paradise island. It had lush vegetation and was so intimate that she could tell she could walk around the island easily.

“Good morning,” two hosts greeted. “Welcome to SK Suvarug Fushi.”

“SK?’ Kate gulped. Her mouth turned round. She beamed at Carlos, asking, “Did – did I hear that right? Do I have… an island?”

Carlos leaned closer to Kate and revealed, “Yes, I bought this island for you, my Kate. Although a local partly owns this – some restrictions about foreigners owning an island- ultimately, this is yours… my wedding gift to you.”

Kate could not believe her ears. Her husband gave her an island as a wedding gift! The Devil sure went all out for her!

She did not know for how long her mouth remained open as a reaction. However, Carlos soon pressed his lips against her ear, and in a sexy voice, he supplemented in a whisper.

“And on this island, there are only two villas. One for the staff, including the security, and one for us.”

He pointed to the far left, and Kate saw a stand-alone water villa in the lagoon. He said, “That is where we will have our honeymoon.”

Kate quickly turned to look at Carlos. Her eyes turned dreamy as her face flushed. She whispered back, “I love it and… I can’t wait.”

“Shall we go to our villa now? Now? Now?”
