Accepting Renata

Gustav was left speechless when he took a look at the papers a servant gave him. Those papers were the information that Kenneth had gathered from his own channels. He felt like a laughing stock. Now, his rage was not directed to Kenneth, but Judith and her family.

He thought that he had found the perfect woman for his son, and also, a good mother for his expectant grandchildren. With that news, he would absolutely cancel the arranged marriage and cut all ties with Judith's family.

"Security! Take this woman and her family out of my house!" Gustav commanded angrily.

"Yes, sir" five guards came to get Judith's family, and two of them took Judith's arms and threw her out of the mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry you witnessed this scene, please continue to enjoy the party" Gustav showed a calm and tired face, while inside he was still mad with all the events that just happened.

"Come, Gustav. We need to talk about these, but it's better if we continue enjoying with our guests the party" Gloria went to the side of her husband and headed where one of the couples they were more familiar and friendliness.

Kenneth wanted to follow Mijail, but her mother told him in private that he must stay at the party to help his father handled some matters and also to make Gustav calm himself. Kenneth didn't want to stay, but his mother was right that he couldn't make his father go mad again.

Dave and Josh approached him with big smiles. They were a bit scared for the commotion that just took place some minutes ago, but they were happy for their friend that finally got the guts to kiss Mijail in front of his parents.

"So, how did it felt?" Dave asked immediately.

Josh was waiting for Kenneth's answer.

Kenneth looked at his two good friends for some minutes. Dave and Josh began to think that he would not tell them.

"It was perfect and 'deep'," Kenneth simply answered, however, he didn't tell them that he was depressed because of the words Mijail said before leaving the party. He wanted to make him clear that everything that happened wasn't his fault. But now, Kenneth needed to wait until the last guest leaves the party.

Obviously, Dave and Josh understood what Kenneth was trying to say when he said 'deep'.

"Well, Mijail was quiet receptive to your kiss, so maybe he feels something for you," Josh thoughtfully said. In the beginning, both, he and Dave, thought that Mijail was going to resist, but in the end, he even allowed Kenneth's tongue to enter his mouth and play with his tongue.

After hearing Josh's words, Kenneth felt a sliver of hope.

"Mhm," he nodded his head reflectively.

Then the three began chatting about what were their plans for New Year's Eve.

Some hours passed and the party finally ended.

"Finally silence," Kenneth sighed, he detested those big parties because there was always someone that wanted to talk with him.

Now that everything had ended, he had time to look after Mijail. With that thought, a smile appeared on his beautiful lips.

He got on his feet and just before he made the first step, someone stopped him by holding his hand. He looked upset at the person who stopped him, but when he saw that was Felicia, his expression softened.

"What happened Felicia?"

"Mmm... I want your help to continue with the topic of me and Renata."

Kenneth lifted one of his eyebrows and then looked at the silent Renata. He sighed deeply and went with the two girls to where his parents were talking with some servants. Gloria looked at them and whispered Gustav something in his ear.

"My children!" she hugged her son and her daughter. Then she smiled at Renata.

"Kenneth, Felicia, you two have someone already in your hearts, right?" his father was finally calm. However, one could still feel the anger in his voice.

Both nodded in affirmation.

"Hah... You two know that your mother and I are getting older, those two surprises you gave us during the party were something that left us shocked. Now I understand why Kenneth got angry with the sudden arranged marriage of Felicia," Gustav sighed and began to speak, "You know that we want grandchildren, and, to couples of the same sex, it's difficult and expensive to have them. Of course, money is not a problem, but, especially for men, is something difficult to accept."

Felicia was surprised that couples of the same sex could have children. She didn't know, but now she understood why people, including the high society, were open-minded about those relationships.

"So that means that you approve Renata?" Felicia's eyes were brightening with expectation.

Gloria looked at her happy and excited daughter and gave Gustav a kind gaze.

"I'll accept your marriage, but she and you have two conditions," her father looked at his daughter while raising his two fingers to make her clear that he was serious, "First, Renata needs to attend manner classes and finished her studies in case she stopped them at some time in her life, and second, make sure that Dayana likes a boy in the future."

Felicia's brighten even more and her beautiful smile was like the sun. She looked at Renata and saw that her eyes were watery, she was going to cry of joy.

"Of course, Mr. Lewis. I'll finish my studies and attend the classes," Renata immediately accepted the conditions Gustav gave her.

Renata and Felicia hugged. They were so happy and also began to talk about their wedding while they were heading to their rooms. Felicia gave a guest room to Renata. However, no one knew if Renata would need it.

When Gustav saw her daughter holding hands with Renata he felt his heart hurt. No father could stand watching their daughter leaving with the person she loves.

"She will be happy, you'll see," Gloria patted his shoulder.

"Now, Kenneth, we have some things to talk about," Gustav's voice changed from a gentle one to a cold one.
