I turned to face Jake, my eyes was filled with tears. Anton and me were about go leave for Monaco.

"I'll miss you so much MCKenzie." He said as I hugged him.

I sniffed, "I'll miss you too."

Letting him go, I turned to face Ida who was sobbing away, "Oh McKenzie Blair," she cried, "You're really leaving."

"But not for good," I assured her as I went to her side, "I'll come visit don't worry."

She gave me a watery smile, "Be good to your husband McKenzie Blair. One day you'll love each other."

I'd like to see that happen I thought sarcastically but nodded meekly anyways, "yes Ida."

Next in line were my friends who were all crying their eyes out.

"I don't even know why I'm crying." Gabby wiped her tears with her pink hankerchief.

"Me too." Lisa said.

"We're gonna miss you so much." Katie said and they all hugged me.

"I'll miss you too girls."

They started telling me what to do and what not to do to Anton. As I was about to leave them Lisa shouted, "I can't believe you're married Bea." I gave her a weird look then turned to the last person; father. He was standing with Mali beside him.

"I'll miss you pop." I said as the tears in my eyes started to fall.

"I'll miss you too McBee." He opened his arm for me and I hugged him.

"Remember, be good to Anton show him who you really are, make him fall in love with you and never let him go."

"Consider it done pop."

He released me. I looked at Mali who nodded at me and smiled briefly I smiled back and walked to where Anton stood, calm and composed, oh and did I forget to mention; as cold as ever.

"Hey McBee," I turned to look at father, "Its father not pop."

I flashed him a toothy grin then together, Anton and I entered the gate and boarded the plane.

I couldn't believe it, I was on my way to Monaco where I was to spend the next nine months (as the tradition said) after which Anton decides wherever we would live.

We were the only two on the plane, apart from the driver and butler. All the others had taken the other plane back to Monaco earlier in the day.

I sat down opposite Anton who had his MacBook on his lap and was typing away.

I have to admit I got so super bored. "I'm bored," I complained.

He looked up, his left brow arched, "Then do something to entertain yourself."

"Like What?"

"Watch a movie," he shrugged.

I turned on my laptop and started watching 50 first dates for about the hundredth time. I mean it is a really addictive movie because it has Adam Sandler and all. I didn't even reach half of the movie when an idea popped into my head; operation goad Anton.

I shut down my laptop, "Hey Anton."

"Yeah," he answered distractedly.

"Lets play a game."

"Can't you see I'm busy."

"C'mon Anton!" I pleaded.

He ignored me and continued typing. "Anton!" At that his jaw tightened, a sign that he was getting annoyed.

Some minutes passed in silence before I said, "C'mon Anton, lets play a game, I'm bored!"

He closed his eyes, sighing then shook his head and continued typing.

"Please!" I all but yelled.

"No," he said through gritted teeth.

"Please, sil vous plait, por favour!"

"No!"

"Please, Anton, please. Do you know how I'm feeling right now? I just left the only place I know as home and you won't even entertain me to make me feel better."

"Okay!" he said at last, sounding frustrated, "lets play the game."

My eyes brightened, "Okay, I'll ask you some questions, will you answer?"

"Yes," he said curtly.

"Okay, are you smart?"

"Very."

Arrogant much? I thought then said, "Are you married?"

"Yes, ain't that obvious."

"What is the name of the first girl you kissed?"

"Can't remember, can I go back to my work?"

"No, just one more question," I smiled, "What is the first question I asked you?"

He smirked, "Are you smart?"

I laughed, "Nope, my first question was 'will you answer?' so you see you're not as smart as you say you are"

He rolled his eyes, apparently angry, "Whatever."

I laughed, mission accomplished!

We entered Queen Claudine's day room. The people in the room where the queen herself, Chloé, Katrina and a little boy who I recognized as Anton's cousin, Jacques.

The first to see us was Jacques, "Anton, McKenzie Blair!" He shouted, "you're here."

All the others looked up and smiled. Jacques dragged Anton to a corner but not before greeting me.

"Hey sis," a smiling Chloé said as she stood beside me.

I smiled back, "hey Chloé, how are you."

She was about to talk when the queen said, "McKenzie Blair why don't you come seat near me, I've got some question to ask you."

I went to sit near her and that was how she started asking Anton and I different questions ranging from our future plans to what we were going to wear the next day.

I woke up early in the morning with a bright smile on my face. I straightened up on the bed then my smile vanished as I saw what was on the divan: Anton.

I fell back on my bed sighing as all the things that happened the previous day came back to me.

The main reason why Anton was on the divan not the bed was because we didn't want to sleep on the same bed and end up cuddling like it usually happened in all those romance stories and movies. We'd locked the door just in case someone came in at night and saw us.

Just then, there came a knock on the door. I got up, put on my short silk robe then went to wake Anton.

"Coming," I shouted as I shoot him till he fell with a thud, "go climb the bed." I whispered then went to open the door. Chloé was standing on the other end.

She smiled broadly and leaned into the room, when she saw Anton sprawled on the bed snoring lightly she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want Chloé?"

"Get dressed, we're going shopping."

Nodding I said, "okay, I'll be ready in thirty minutes." I closed the door without waiting for her reply.

"Who was it?" Anton asked in a sleepy voice.

"Chloé," I replied as I entered the bathroom and locked it.

After a short shower I entered the walk in closet and put on a white off shoulder shirt and blue skinny jeans coupled with brown ankle boots.

I came out, applied makeup then took my bag and was about to go out when Anton asked, "where are you going?"

"Shopping with Chloé." I told him then walked out.

I went down and Chloé in the lobby, she was reading a newspaper and the news on the front page was my marriage to Anton. I wasn't that surprised because our marriage was the only thing everyone seemed to be talking about, it was trending on Twitter and all the social networks, the front page of most magazines was the picture of two of us. We were pretty popular, and most people approved of our relationship.

We walked out and entered the limo. "Its nice to have you here in Monaco." Chloé commented.

"Its nice to be here," I smiled and surprisingly, I really did mean it.

We arrived at the Fontvieille

shopping centre. We entered the first boutique and headed straight for the dresses section. Chloé was picking up any yellow dress in sight (yes she loved the color yellow) and I was scanning through the dresses looking for suitable ones.

I knew that there was going to be a lot of balls while I was staying in Monaco so I proceeded to try in different formal dresses.
