《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
Alex let go of Margarette letting her live her life a little bit. But it's part of his plan since he set up an engagement party at the hotel. This time, Margarette and Alex planned to kidnap his daughter-in-law, and just as they planned, they succeeded, but later on, she was again in safe hands as the kidnappers had been captured by the police.
Everyone seemed happy including Tracey and Mrs. De Novo. Alessandro hasn't arrived yet at the hotel and there are few journalists from the Business Times. Margarette seemed to be anxious as Alex watched her and Alex left. He then gave Mrs. De Novo or Gena De Novo which she preferred to be called Mrs. De Novo, a hint. He sent her photos of her husband and Margarette and she seemed to find it suspicious. Everyone was asking Tracey a lot of questions including the woman that Alessandro always took out for lunch. The girl was embarrassed and she said things that she let Alessandro have his way before their engagement.
He didn't want to listen to Tracey's excuses as he followed Mrs. De Novo. She confronted the two who seemed to be caught up.
"Dear, it's not what you think," Anthony said as he held his wife's arms.
"Not what I think?" She scoffed. "I've been seeing the two of you together lately." She smirked as Margarette rolled her eyes.
"We are saving your daughter's ass for this." Margarette stepped forward. "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't get engaged to Alessandro."
"We concluded to hold the girl hostage that Alessandro was bedding." Anthony caressed Gena's hair carefully. "Gena, my dear. I am doing this for our daughter and you."
"Is that true?" She asked Margarette.
"Yes," Margarette lied but she's a good liar and actress so they make Gena trust them a little.
"Where is she now?" Mrs. De Novo asked as Margarette checked her phone.
"She's in the warehouse safely." She smirked. "We'll let her go once that they are married in three weeks."
Gena tilted her head and she sighed.
"Fine, let's go back."
Alex hid as the three went back. He reached for his phone and called Keira. She answered after two rings.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yes, dad. I'm already inside the hotel safely. I'm re-touching my make-up a bit."
"Great," Alex smiled. "How about your mom?"
"She's already with me."
"Good. I'll see you later?"
"Will, dad. Bye."
Alex hung up and went back to the party. He looked at the projector as they showed edited photos of Tracey and Alessandro and the old photos that were taken when Tracey was clingy toward his son. She seemed to be enjoying it and Alessandro entered the hotel confused as his bodyguards followed him. Tracey approached him and hugged him. Alessandro didn't hug her back. He gently pushed her.

"What's this?" He asked.
"It's our engagement party. Surprise." She giggled and reached his face to kiss his lips but he dodged it. He turned his head to the other corner where his wife was glaring on the shadows with her bodyguards.
"That's impossible." He chuckled. "I can't be engaged to you. I'm a married man." He said. Everyone gasped and looked at each other.
"Wh-what?" Tracey stepped back as Alessandro sighed.
"Dad, what's this?" Alessandro asked.
"Oh, there's been a mistake," Alex said and approached Anthony. "I apologize," He bowed his head a little.
"What is he talking about, married?" Anthony scoffed. "We already have a deal and looked at my daughter." His face was red as a tomato in anger.
"Yes," Alex sighed. "Well, you kidnapped my daughter-in-law, didn't you? You planned it with this woman," He pointed to the fake second wife. "And the man whom you had business with. I knew it all along and I just need some concrete evidence." He sighed.
"Dad!" Tracey shouted and she rushed to him. "Alessandro is my fiance. You promised me."
"Dear, don't be such a brat." Alex scoffed. "Alessandro will never be yours, he already belongs to someone else. And, if you insist, you'll be the mistress then."
Tracey gaped betrayal and anger in her eyes. Her hands started shaking as Alessandro waved off the journalists but they kept snapping photos of them.
"I'm sorry, everyone, the party's over, but you can stay for more drinks and food. Besides, I think everyone should meet my wife." Alessandro said as everyone started murmuring. The operator flashes photos of Alessandro in his teenage photos with his beloved. He smiled at the screen as there were video clips of them playing together.
"Alessandro," Tracey approached him and wrapped her arms around his arm. "Please, don't embarrass me like this." She begged him.
"You should think twice before you say such words to my wife."
"Wife?" She looked confused and frantic. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You called her mistress back then."
Alessandro raised his head to the beautiful woman wearing a beautiful retro white dress with laces.
"Please hands off from my hubby, Tracey. I bite, I swear."
Alessandro gently pushed Tracey as he smiled and scooped his face.
"You didn't get any scratch from those bad men?" He asked softly and reached her hands to check.
"No. But they discussed such crazy things." She pouted at him. "I thought this was supposed to be my party?"

He brought her left hand to his lips with those sexy seductive eyes on her.
"Stop that, it won't work." She rolled her eyes but she bit her lips, trying not to smile.
Margarette's heart was throbbing in anger toward Alex who fooled her. She rushed to him to slap him but Alex blocked it.
"You had done enough, Margarette." He said coldly. "I already told you, you can't control my son. Besides, you planned to hurt Keira. She's been my daughter-in-law ever since they were teens." He threw her hand away and faced Gena. "And if you don't want to get involved with the crime that they made, I think you should step back, Gena. I'm pulling out everything that I invested."
Gena's face brightly flushed from the embarrassment that their family. She faced her husband and slapped him hard as the police entered.
"What have you done? How can you be fooled by this woman?" Gena's tears were betraying her. It's because of anger. "Anthony, is this what you've been working on? Doing illegal things?" She bit her lip as she looked away, trying hard not to make her tears roll. "You embarrassed me and our daughter. Now, how can we go out like before?"
She left him as the police approached Margarette and Anthony. Then, Alex watched as Gena took Tracey away to save their faces. He felt bad for the two of them but they embarrassed his daughter-in-law more and spoke ill of her to everyone.
"Miss Margarette Berto," The police approached her. "We are inviting you to the station."
"What do you mean?" Margarette asked as she looked at Alex. "Alex?"
Alexander turned back from her as they also took Anthony.
"Well, I think I won't be able to meet your wife again." Karmina stood beside Alex one meter away. Margarette looked at them, glaring. Alex waved at her with a smirk. "Oh, please, don't be rude." Karmina chuckled as she looked at Keira and Alessandro started chatting while the journalists were asking them questions. She smiled but somehow a woman caught her eyes. She's wearing sunglasses enough not to get noticed but she noticed it. "Wendy," She mumbled as Alex noticed the girl leaving the hall. "I still can't forget that jealous face."
Alex looked down at her. It's rare for him to see her angry like this.
"She's jealous of them when she doesn't own Alessandro."
"We are leaving," Alessandro said to the journalists. "But do enjoy the food and drinks that we prepared." He wrapped his wife to his right arm protectively as the bodyguards covered them. Alex and Karmina followed them back to the hotel room that Karmina rented.
"Well, I think we should leave?" She asked. "But it's such a waste to only wear this beautiful dress for a few hours." She pouted.
"Let's drive back to the villa," Alex suggested. "We'll be accompanied by bodyguards."
"But how about we go to the amusement park for a while?" Alessandro suggested. "They usually close at eleven."
"I'd love to." She giggled.
"Well, perhaps I will go to Alex to file charges to those two," Karmina said.
They watched as Alex drove the car away as they used different cars to the police station. The kidnappers that were beaten by the police and bodyguards told everything about it. Then, there's Mr. Achebe's Lawyer who insisted that it wasn't their people. Alex claimed that he wasn't his wife and he's wearing his wedding ring from his first wife while he always wore his wife's engagement ring and wedding ring as a necklace.
"I'm Karmina Del Carlo, Keira's mother." She said as one of the old Chief approached her and extended his hand.
"Mrs. Del Carlo," Chief Hernandez shook her hand. "It's been a long time since the last time I saw you."
"You too, Chief Hernandez." Karmina smiled.
"So, what brought you here?" He asked as he looked at the two rich people.
"Well, they planned on kidnapping my daughter. They succeeded." Karmina said.
"Keira?" He frowned. "Where is the evidence?" He finally asked the policeman who handled the case. "They can't do that to my goddaughter." He mumbled and frowned at them.
"Goddaughter?" Alex asked her. Karmina only shrugged at him.
The chief approached her and offered her coffee or some juice.
"Where have you been these years?" He asked. "I've been trying to search for you."
"My daughter and I have to hide." She explained to him everything while they discussed it in his office.
