My New Life With My Beast Husbands!

Chapter 18: Decisions to be Made

After a few days away from the estate Loyd concluded his business in N city and made his way to White Lily. He was planning on meeting up with Hugo to discuss Iza.

Loyd had fallen head over heels for her. In the short few weeks, he spent with her he knew that he wanted to take their relationship more seriously. He truly felt that she was the one for him, despite his flaws and secrets that he held he wanted to spend his life with her.

Loyd got out of his sleek black car and confidently made his way to Hugo's office. Hugo greeted him as he entered the office and gestured to the sofa so they could begin.

"What was so urgent that you wanted to discuss it right away."

Hugo inquired stretching his arms across the back of the sofa and crossing his legs.

"I want to tell her everything."

Loyd's face was emotionless and cold when he spoke. Hugo was caught off guard by Loyd's words, his mouth lay agape and speechless. Loyd cleared his throat and continued.

"Not all at once of course. I have everything prepared including the marriage license if she agrees."

Hugo sat up, stroking his beard as he thought to himself. The room sat silent for a few moments before he spoke,

"Are you sure about this?"

Loyd nodded and took out the paperwork from his briefcase and handed it to Hugo to look over.

The documents included a detailed plan on how Loyd intended to take Iza as his wife, declare their child the heir to the Zennen family, and gradually expose the secrets of White Lily to her as well.

Hugo flipped through the plan several times, taking peaks up at Loyd as he went. Hugo threw the papers onto the coffee table and sighed.

"I of course can't stop you; you are the boss after all. I do think you need to hold off on telling Iza about White Lily. What do you plan to say: Oh yeah, I bugged your place, did a background check on you, had a full team dedicated to watching your every movement, and manipulated you into staying with me to keep the child a secret in case it didn't work out in your favor. If I'm honest you have been beyond lucky, she has been so cooperative, but do you truly think she will take all that information so easily?"

Loyd sat in silence taking in his words, he clenched his jaw grinding his teeth. He was upset at the response but knew Hugo was right. What was he supposed to say? "Yes, dear I run an elite group of assassins, planned to have you trapped away from the world so you could give birth to my child against your will if needed and then buy your silence or force it upon you."

Loyd sighed and rubbed his forehead; a headache was forming at the reality of the situation he got himself into.

"Fine, you win. I'll manipulate the truth. White Lily is technically an intelligence agency as well. I'll explain to her that after the article I did do some digging on her; which isn't unheard of for large business groups like ours and leave out the surveillance operation."

"That could work. Leaving out the undesirable truth will be best."

"The child will be going to White Lily when they are old enough, it is Zennen family tradition after all. I don't think that should be an issue, but we may need to find a way to teach certain skills in a way that doesn't raise alarm."

Hugo laughed

"They won't be sent out on missions if that is your concern. I would start at home now by introducing our unique skill set in a way that looks like a hobby. You already started horseback riding, correct? You could introduce archery, swordplay, and martial arts next. Gauge her response when you do and see if she wants to learn as well. It will be easier to convince Iza to allow the child to learn if you both participate as well."

Loyd nodded before getting up and pouring two glasses of whiskey. He handed one glass to Hugo before sitting back down.

"Let's put this into action then, shall we?"

Loyd said before raising his glass and downing it. Hugo raised his drink and response and downed it in one go as well.

Loyd had a driver take him to the estate, he was determined to talk to Iza as soon as he got in.

Iza was in the green room having lunch when Loyd came home. He greeted her with a peak to the forehead before taking a seat at the table.

Iza was surprised at the interaction, she knew they had been intimate a few times now but didn't realize that translated into public displays of affection. Were they officially dating now, and she hadn't realized it? A blush raced across her face at the thought.

Loyd took a grape from her plate and popped it into his mouth.

"Have you been well while I was gone?"

Iza shook her head before delving into everything that had occurred since he had been gone. She told him about the sheep shearing day he missed and how she got to meet some students of the local academy between bites of her lunch. After she was done, she was excited to show him the ultrasound photos from her appointment. She took his hand and dragged him to her room as she spoke about what the doctor had said about their child.

Iza rummaged through her desk drawer and found the photos and proudly showed Loyd. Loyd took the photos in hand and examined them with a smile on his face. In the corner of his eye, he could see Iza stroking her belly grinning at the child in her stomach.

Loyd with a smile on his face tossed the photos to the desk and picked Iza up and twirled her around before placing a sweet kiss on her lips.

"You are a wonderful mother. I couldn't ask for someone better."

Loyd declared before Iza was brought back to the ground. Iza pride soared at his words and a large smile shone on her face.

Loyd took her hand into his and guided her to the bed asking her to sit so they could talk. Iza's heart pounded in her chest with anxiety at his words, was he going to confess his feelings for her? She wasn't ready yet to confess her own.

Loyd cleared his throat and began

"Over the past few weeks, I have come to enjoy the company and vibrant life you have brought to this house and my life. Before you came, I was cold and indifferent to the world, focused on work and reaching for the next big thing, but now all I want is to spend every waking second with you, I want you all to myself. I want you to continue to warm this stale life of mine until the day I die."

Iza to in a gasp, this was more than a mere confession this was a proposal! Tears started to stream down her face at his words.

"Will you spend your life with me Iza?"

Iza wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, sniffling her nose before smiling. She vigorously shook her head,

"Yes!"
