Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 856

The next day, in Spirit Village.

It took Keith a full decade to craft this hidden paradise.

Nestled among mountains and rivers, the place was a sight for sore eyes, embodying the true essence of tranquility and beauty.

He achieved a picturesque scene at every turn, where nature and architecture harmonized perfectly.

Every brick, every blade of grass, and even the villagers residing here were all part of his meticulous design.

Spirit Village was his gift to Elizabeth, a tribute to the dreams she once harbored.

Thus, the village bloomed with Elizabeth's favorite flowers and plants, spreading their fragrance everywhere.

All buildings and their styles were inspired by Elizabeth’s own designs, a testament to Keith's effort to keep her dream alive.

He also established a school and a library, dedicating them to Kelsey, another woman he held dear.

In this way, Keith surrounded himself with the essence of the two women he cherished the most.

Eventually, this place became the home for him and his precious little one...

Originally, when Keith took the baby from Elysia, he hadn’t planned on raising her here.

This sanctuary was his soul’s haven, a place too sacred and pure for a child borne of his enemy, carrying the Bradford bloodline. She was meant to be a pawn in his long game against Tarquin, not to live here.

But life often laughs at our plans, bringing forth the unexpected!

The little one, much like her mother Elysia, proved to be a formidable challenge.

He became a super dad out of necessity, taking care of her single-handedly because she refused anyone else. Just like Tarquin had to juggle being both a father and a mother to Elijah, Keith found himself in similar shoes with the little one.

From the chaotic beginnings of not knowing how to do anything to mastering the arts of feeding, changing, bathing, preparing baby food, and even medicating her during sickness — he learned it all.

Emotions are unpredictable…

The more he cared for her, the deeper their bond grew.

His love for her began the moment he decided she needed a name.

When he first took her from Elysia, she was nameless, a mere pawn in his game. Why bother with a name?

But as time passed, he found himself wanting to give her a name, and not just any name, but something beautiful.
