《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman

The police haven't found it out yet. They started with the letters and spoke to everyone connected to Louise. But what Johanna was confused about is why Bonnie didn't get any scratch? Or maybe they went directly to Louise to kill her, but how did they know which room she was in before rummaging through every room? Something was off as she asked the police what they found. She was eager to find the killer, but it seemed that her boss knew who it was. The police even suspected her boss but it's impossible since she's the kindest person she knows.
"I would like to request footage of every interrogation," Johanna asked the chief. The assistant police chief hesitated for a while but then he spoke to the investigator and convinced him. Once she had it, she was escorted by three bodyguards to Keira's penthouse.
She was sitting formally across Keira as she watched the footage of the five bodyguards guarding the house. Three down and was directly hit through the head. The guards were from another agency and just as she and Keira suspected, there's a traitor who was feeding the killer information.
"I manage to make them sure that you aren't the killer. You are off from the list." She spoke. She then took out the SD card. "Here are the calls that Louise and I exchanged before she died."
"It must be hard for you," Keira said as she looked at the SD card.
"We have to find her phone. To find clues."
"You think, Bonnie was feeding information?" Keira asked.
"Yes," She nodded. "And, I just checked her account and she received enormous money from someone. Fifty thousand."
Keira scoffed.
"It's a shame to send someone from the bank. We could trace that."
"Yes," She nodded. "Somehow, the owner who sent the account is dead."
Keira raised her brows.
"Not Wendy Charles?" Keira asked.
"No, Ma'am."
"She must have paid someone." Keira leaned on her sofa as her husband approached her.
"Wendy had an alibi," Alessandro said. "Somehow, she managed to make a double that would look someone like her. This is why we can't raise the police about her identity yet. She's cautious."
"Not cautious enough?" Keira smirked. "Remember my accident?"
Alessandro remembered it. He saw photos of her injury and he nearly broke down. He just wished that he didn't see it.
"It was similar to what she did to me." She shook her head. "She's perfect at planning. But there will be flaws."

"What if it happens again?" Johanna asked. "Madam, if people kept dying around you, the police would think differently."
"I know." Keira nodded. "That's why we shall prepare for the upcoming tragedy."
Johanna thought that there would be another target. The woman who killed Louise was crazy. They listened to the conversation and in the end, is the clear voice of a woman calling Louise. Keira shivered from the voice but she knew well who it was.
"Tracey will be next." Alessandro suddenly said. "Mom Karmina mentioned to me that she was at that party. Before the tragedy."
"Then, she must have heard about the engagement." Keira sighed. "I can't let this happen again, love."
"I know."
"You will also become under my protection. I requested EPUA to send the best bodyguard for you." Keira told Johanna.
Keira finally had sorted it out with her husband and she'll soon meet Sabrina Alvarez-Lawson to side with her and invest in her company. However, the woman can only give a few resources since other resources will be put in more in EPUA's serious missions. She understands the resources that Sabrina gave to them and it's good enough for that little Wendy. Unless there's someone bigger backing her up.

Karmina finally faced Margarette and Alex. They were trying to bail out but not unless they pay a big deal including the Achebes. They messed up with the wrong family. They were surprised to see her and probably none of them recognized her.
"I'm Karmina Del Carlo. Keira's mother." She said to them. "I heard that you spoke ill of my daughter and insulted her." She smirked. "You see if I did the same to your daughter, Anthony De Novo, what would you feel?"
Anthony was a little bit surprised by Karmina's backfire.
"I'll feel enraged. I'll do everything to protect my daughter and Alessandro. I've been doing that since they were sweethearts during their teenage. Once or twice is enough. I won't tolerate anything that would hurt my two precious children." Karmina sighed gracefully.
"Mrs. Del Carlo, what's your decision?" The police asked.
"Well, I have no choice but to let the law do what's needed."
"Alex!" Margarette called. "Don't leave me here. One night is enough." She gritted her teeth.
"You see, my son's mother-in-law is right. The two of you know how to get out of here. And, I already filed a restraining order. The two of you would never get near to my son and my daughter-in-law."

"But~I am your wife."
"That's absurd. My wife is dead. Long dead." He momentarily smirked at her but then, he stood. "Our lawyers will speak to you for the conditions."
He escorted Karmina to the car that they shared.
"Finally, we could relax a little bit."
"What are you going to do with your fake wife?" She asked as she settled on the other side. He climbed up the car and sat on the other side.
"Kicked her out of the house." He shrugged. "She had taken some of my money and I have to get it back."
"Alright," She shrugged. "Then, I should help in decorating their room?"
"Yes, that's why we are off to see the interior designers."
Karmina took out her phone. Her daughter was always specific with the things she wanted in her room.
"I have to upgrade and join two rooms." He sighed as he also saw how big the room that they wanted to be. The study room, bedroom, and walk-in closet should be joined.
"They are busy with Louise's case and I am sure that the two will use their wealth to get that crazy bitch behind bars." She mumbled.
"You always speak so calmly." Alex laughed as he shook his head.
"I have to." She shrugged. "Somehow, the owner of this heart was always calm."
"Way to go." He laughed.
"Stop teasing me, Alex. You should start fixing your life and find a better partner."
"We are better partners? Aren't we partners in crimes." He said smugly.
Karmina sighed.
"Whatever you say, Alex."

Wendy was in the Country Club that their family owns. The sun was shining above the blue sky as she swung her club. She squinted as she watched the golf ball fly in the direction that she was aiming.
"Miss Wendy your grandfather wanted to see you." Her grandfather's old secretary told her. She ignored the old man and signed her chauffeur as it approached her driving the golf cart. "Miss," The secretary called again. "It's about De Alegre."
She stopped and looked at him sharply.
"Miss, you have to see your grandfather."
She has no choice at all when it comes to De Alegre. The time that she reached the mansion, still wearing her golf uniform, she went directly to the family room. She removed her gloves and threw them somewhere.
"What is it?" She asked coldly.
"Is that how you greet me?" The old man scoffed. Although he spoiled her and gave her inheritance after her father died, he still couldn't tolerate it again. She's been in the hospital for years after she caused a big incident. They covered it up to be an accident.
"Your father is not here to protect you like before. Grow up, Wendy." He growled at him.
"Did Alessandro speak to you?" She asked in a boring tune. "Where is he?"
"That man is married." He said aloud. "What you did to Louise Madison is a disgrace to our family!"
"What did I do?" She sneered at him.
"You still have flaws, Wendy." The old man gripped on his crane.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know?" He scoffed. "I know that you killed her. There are traces that you didn't clean up. Soon, they will come to you."
She suddenly felt cold sweat rolled down her back. Her grandfather was also dangerous and he knew well about business and crimes and how to clean up. She tried hard to clean it up and she thought that she didn't have any flaws.
"You missed the CCTV cameras and it shows your face. You also didn't realize that Keira Del Carlo would plant secret cameras around the house and mostly in her room."
"What?" She frowned.
"Also, you have the last conversation with the secretary and the victim."
"W~what?"
"With your voice recorded to it, they could easily detect it."
"Grandpa,"
"Now, don't cause any ruckus. You'll be guarded twenty-four seven."
She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"And lastly, I met up with Alexander De Alegre and Karmina Del Carlo."
She crossed her arms.
"Did you know what they say?" The old man asked. "They can't tolerate you if you make a move again. And I won't help you anymore on your downfall."
"Grandpa!"
"Your siblings were intelligent as you but they use it in business to contribute to our family. But you are a disgrace, Wendy. You kept on following someone who didn't like you and despised you. You should accept the fact that Alessandro won't love you. And will never love you."
"Old man!" She screamed at him, as she felt the truth that her grandfather slapped her face.
"Take her back to America. Make sure that she'll reflect on herself." Klaus Charles commanded as their bodyguards surrounded her.

Liana in between Worlds
17 year old Liana is not as surprised as most people would be when she meets Inaya, coming from another world searching for a mysterious danger that could be disastrous for both worlds. She's always seen things others could not see, and she often finds it easier to befriend strange creatures from dreamworlds than her classmates. But now she's involved in a possible plot to eradicate our whole species, which makes her travel through a dead alien city and the oak wood of the Nummerfa who believe that our species are dangerous demons from hell, and other places in several different worlds. All she actually wanted was read her Tolkien book, or sit and watch the stars without being bothered by the existential problems of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And how is she going to even explain her absence at school? 'Liana in Between Words' is a weird genre-defying mix of portal fantasy and scifi in a tale of friendship, loneliness, and the role of humans in the multiverse. This one contains absolutely no romance and no serious trigger warnings for sex, excessive violence, bad words or heavily traumatising content if you can handle the idea that there are people somewhere who think -maybe not completely without reason- that our species are destructive demons that should be eradicated.
