《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
First thing in the morning, their phones were vibrating from notifications. Keira gently moved to the side table and reached for her phone. She rubbed her eyes and checked the news. She pushed Alessandro's arm as she sat up and looked at the photos. She gritted her teeth as she glared at Alessandro. Her husband claimed that he never interacted with Louise and what happened just now? What is this?
She slipped off from the bed and went to the bathroom as she called her secretary.
"What is this? Are the photos real?"
"Yes. It was taken from the screenshot of a recording, Ma'am."
"Track on who released it and on where it came from. I don't care if you have to hire hackers to do it." She mumbled.
"Yes, ma'am. I'll give you the finished report later."
"Thank you."
She put down her phone as she gritted her teeth. So, something happened to them. He could have just said it. But when? When did it happen? Did it happen while they are together? She's not going to forgive him easily. She took a quick bath, went to her closet, and started getting ready for her. Her husband approached her to kiss her but she dodged him.
"Good morning?" He asked. She's not in the mood to see him or talk to him. The news just came up and it'll be a disaster. "What's going on?" He asked again and watched her dressed up. She dried her hair and did not listen to him. "Love," he called again. "Let me take a shower. I'll get back to you."
Once he went to the bathroom, Keira quickly gathered her things and left the room. She called her bodyguard to get her car ready. They are surprised that she won't ride with her husband. She's not in the mood to explain anything. The news comes out quickly and it's not just because of her husband. It's also because of an actress in the Golden Age. They said that the rumor is true. Why did she show that she slept with Alessandro?
"Keira!" Alessandro shouted.
"I'm leaving." She said coldly and didn't even look at him.
It takes a few minutes when she reaches her office. Her assistant served her breakfast while her secretary followed her to her room. She sat down and checked the internet as the news went viral. It's dark in the room and it seemed to be in a hotel.

"President, it's sent from an IP address of a journalist. Somehow, Louise knows this guy and it happened that they exchange information. The photos came from the IP address of Louise's computer, from her house."
"Hmm, she did sleep with my husband. I want to know when."
"From the quality of the photo, it's a 2018 canon digital camera. There are still cameras that are selling from 2018 but only a few purchased it."
Her phone started ringing. It's her husband. She hung up as she reached the tea that her assistant prepared for her. She sipped on it and sighed.
"Well, this is a big thing. If she slept with my husband while I am married to him, it only means that she's ruining her career."
"What do you want to do, President."
"I want to know everything. But perhaps, there's one person who could tell it to me." She crossed her arms.
<><><><>
Alessandro thought that it'll be a good day but news came out. It's all over the internet and tabloid. He saw the photo and he's unfamiliar with it. He massaged his forehead. He's supposed to have breakfast with his wife before they leave for work. He used to skip breakfast back then. But this time, he's not used to it anymore.
"Sir, Louise Madison is one of the women that you slept with. I keep records of the woman who slept for years and you had slept with her twice. You kicked her out for kissing you."
Alessandro dug deep inside his memory. Well, it only means that Louise Madison is one of the whores who lined up to get money back then. He clenched his fist and smacked it on his wooden table.
"My wife knew about this first thing in the morning." He mumbled. "How can we clean it up? The Golden Age will be at risk."
"I will think of something, sir."
Emerald's phone started ringing and he froze seeing the caller ID.
"Sir, it's~~"
"Answer her. She probably hates me at the moment. Tell her everything that she needs to know." He said frustratingly.
Emerald answered the call.
"Hello, Madam?"
"Well, I know that your boss would tell you to tell me everything. Now, what is this?"
"Well, she's one of my records, Madam. As you know, when the two of you were apart from each other, Sir was sleepless and needed to do something like paying someone for a night or two. It's from an agency. An escort agency, ma'am."

"Like prostitutes?"
"Yes, but this agency gives confidentiality and there shouldn't be any cameras in the area. Louise Madison happened to sneak out a camera."
"And you just find it out now?" Keira asked sarcastically from the other line.
"Yes, ma'am. It's my negligence."
"I don't care how many women that he slept with before we get married. But he said that he didn't fuck her~~now, who should I trust?"
"Well, Madam. I think I should rephrase your words. He had sex with them but never sleep with them until dawn. The lady should leave the room after he's done with her."
"I don't care!"
Emerald was stunned at Keira's temper. She's scary. He even looked at Alessandro who looked worse and more frustrated than before. Even though he's trying hard to clear his name.
"Ma'am, they are supposed to wear masks at that time. So, sir wouldn't recognize any of their faces. It's part of the protocol."
"Fuck…" Keira mumbled. "When was that?"
"Three years ago."
"A woman showed up, claiming that she's dating my husband and now even slept with him. And turned out to be a paid woman from the escort agency…"
"Uh, what can I do to help?"
"Nothing. I had all of the information needed." Keira answered. However, he felt a very cold shiver from her voice. "Tell your boss that we don't have a lunch date or dinner date… there will be no dates forever." She hung up and he froze.
"What did she say?" Alessandro asked.
"She~~she canceled lunch date and dinner date… and there will be no dates forever." He mumbled. Alessandro slumped on his seat and took his phone to call her. But he couldn't reach her.
"Really?" He scoffed. "Let's see how long you'll play angry at me." He mumbled. "Send her a hundred flowers. Different flowers."
"Y~yes, sir!"
"Then fill her fridge with diet coke."
Emerald was puzzled for a moment. But then, he did what his boss told him to.
<><><><>
Keira was beating people to pulp including the PA director. She even called Louise's manager and let her stay in the foyer as she spoke to her.
"We~We don't know about it, President," Nancy said.
"Alright," Keira said. "How will you explain the IP address from her house and an IP address from her journalist friend? I am sure that you don't know that she kept on releasing fake news about her and Mr. De Alegre." She asked sarcastically.
"P-President, I~I have no idea that she released it."
"I see." Keira sighed as her secretary entered. "What?"
"Ma'am you have deliveries of 100 flowers from Mr. De Alegre and diet soda," Johanna whispered to her.
She rolled her eyes and waved it off. Her secretary nodded.
"Nancy, don't disappoint me again. And I know something about Louise. I already spoke to Emerald and he cleared to me that it was from three years ago."
"T-Three years?" Nancy was puzzled. She might know about Louise's past three years ago.
"Yes, from an escort agency. You see, Alessandro De Alegre didn't want any close relationship and she rented a girl for a night or two…"
Nancy wasn't talking from the other side.
"Well, do you want me to abandon you and your artist?"
"Madam President, please help me."
Keira smirked.
"Alright, I'll ask Mr. De Alegre about this matter. I don't think that it's good to use someone's name for fame. For now, withdraw her from any activities. I want her to have a long vacation until this thing drops."
"C-Can we talk to Mr. De Alegre?"
"Talk about what? To consider a fantasy relationship into realism?" Keira asked coldly. "Well, I'll let Louise decide on what she wanted. To end her career or to become a laughing stock? The second choice will taint our company, Nancy. However, there are a lot of competent singers and actors and actresses… she can easily get replaced. I'll let Emerald speak to you. You are now dismissed." Keira said.
She's very pissed at the moment. The manager left as the door opened and her secretary pushed the cart of three boxes of diet soda and filled her fridge. She rolled her eyes and didn't care about any diet soda at the moment. She has a big problem to deal with.

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!
