《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
Wendy was staring at Keira Del Carlo right in front of her. She managed to escape her grandfather but there were still people searching for her. Her blood rushed up to her head while Keira was speaking on the television. She was eager to kill Keira now. She nibbled her nails as she felt the man's presence behind her. The man who helped her kill Louise Madison.
"Let's kill her." She turned to the man but she was surprised to see her grandfather, with his crane. He glared at her and she noticed that the man that she was sleeping with was frozen as her father's secretary had a knife on her lover's neck.
"Leave the country now," Klaus said coldly.
"Grandpa, I can't leave without Alessandro."
"His wife is threatening you in front of everyone." Klaus pointed to the television. "Stop this delusion, Wendy."
Wendy shook her head.
"No." She gritted her teeth.
Her phone chimes and her grandfather pointed it. She was curious as she reached her phone and frowned. A message from an unknown person. She opened it as a message clip came up. She was surprised when there's a video clip. She played it.
"I, Keira Del Carlo swore on this very day to hunt down Louise Madison's killer." It kept playing and playing all over again. Her hands shook and the phone slipped off from her hand.
"They know that you are the killer," Klaus said. "Take her. Make sure that she won't get away." He commanded his men.
Wendy stared at the television as Keira announced to everyone about Louise's album. Johanna explained to them that before Louise died, her last words were to release her album and donate the money to specific organizations and orphanages.
"We already released the recording to the police and on that recording, a female's voice was loud in clear. We know that it's Louise's killer and soon, we'll have her."
Wendy can't fight the guards. They held her and injected something on her neck. Slowly, her eyes started becoming blurry as she stared at Keira's face on the television.
"How about this man, sir?" The Secretary asked.
"Make sure that he won't speak to anyone about this."
"Yes, sir."
He turned back as they took Wendy out of the apartment.

In the other room, Alessandro was waiting for his wife while watching her on the television. Keira didn't provide any script with her and also Johanna. It wasn't a scripted one and they didn't answer any single trash question but those formal questions. It ended in thirty minutes. Finally, the door opened as Keira entered with Johanna. He stood and approached her.

"Madam, we already have the names of those journalists." The Head Bodyguard said and she nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work." Keira faced her husband and kissed his cheeks. "Well, did you wait for long?" She patted his chest and fixed his tie.
"They were harsh on you," Alessandro mumbled.
"I know." She still smiled at him. "Let's go to my office since you cancel everything today."
At the time that they came out of the room, the guards cleared their pathway and they knew that there were still journalists that would stalk them. On their way to the parking lot, Alessandro kept glancing at his wife. He never expected her to be so cool in front of the camera. She's also beautiful, stunning, and very professional. This is why he fell in love with her. He fell in love with the woman that he deserved.
"Thoughts?" Keira asked as she looked up at him. "Stopped staring at me, love."
"I never thought that you could be so cool in there," Alessandro said while rubbing her back.
"You won't marry such a lousy woman." She winked at him.
"Yeah, you are more than amazing." He winked at her.
Johanna was riding with them in the same elevator with their three bodyguards and her bodyguards. But hearing them like this again made her a little cringed. She remembered that she was there when Alessandro proposed on Keira's 18th birthday and they always talk to each other using sweet and romantic speeches.
"We still have to prepare for Louise's funeral." She sighed as she thought again about her. "After that, we have to polish her recordings."
"Let's take a break this weekend," Alessandro suggested. "Jo needs some break too."
"Yeah," Keira nodded.
"I'm completely fine, President," Johanna said kindly.
They reached the office and Keira slumped on the sofa as Johanna sat in front of the couple. Johanna took out her tablet and played the footage of the time that Louise died. Camera one was in the living room; camera two in the kitchen; camera three in the hallway of Louise's room; camera four, five, and six are in Louise's room. They played it at the same time. There's also an audio and the voice of the woman calling Louise. Keira shuddered but her husband rubbed her and kept his arms around her to comfort her.
They took Louise from the walk-in closet while they were pointing guns at her. The boys made fun of her too by ripping the hem of her dress. It said that she wasn't raped and they didn't because they don't have time at the moment. The woman started beating her with the baseball bat and Johanna stopped it.

"Don't insist on watching it, Keira," Alessandro said coldly. Johanna turned it off. She couldn't watch it too but just as Conrad told her, Louise had multiple damages on her body that caused her death.
"Make sure to keep a copy of it," Alessandro said.
"I already sent the footage to the EPUA investigation group, sir," Conrad said.
"Thank you." Alessandro caressed his wife's hair. "How's the investigation toward our subject?" He still felt that she was shuddering a little bit so he kept her calm by rubbing her arm.
"We already tracked her," Johanna said. "She's in perfect condition. Also," She clutched her tablet. "Her grandfather is taking her out of the country."
"As I expected," Keira said coldly. "They are still covering up for her crimes. But I won't let her get away again."
"We won't," Alessandro whispered and kissed her temple. Johanna stood.
"I'll be going now to finish a few things. Please call me if you need anything."
"Okay," she nodded at her. "You should take a break too."
Johanna bowed her head as she headed to the door and Conrad opened it for her.
Alessandro hugged his wife and kissed her temple.
"Have a nap, my dear."
"I can't nap like this." She sighed. "Let's go to the orphanage and meet them up. We don't have much time."
"But they seemed to need you here," Alessandro said.
"The PR team could handle it." She hugged him. "I feel restless." She kissed his cheeks and she froze. "You are too good and too handsome. I'm still worried about women gawking at you." She smirked at him. Alessandro laughed and scooped her chin.
"You think that I would even glance on their way?" He kissed her insolent smile. "Let's nap on our car. It'll be a long drive."
Johanna escorted the President and her husband to the parking lot.
"Aren't you tired?" Conrad suddenly asks while they are in the elevator going to the 30th floor where she's meeting the PR Director.
"No. I'm completely fine."
"Wow, you are like a robot." Conrad snickered.
"You don't have to follow me around here. I am in the safe building."
"Who knows what will happen?" He shrugged.
Johanna felt tired too but she wanted to work. She wanted to work hard for Keira and the company. And now, things are messed up even more. He followed her until to the PR director's office. He will keep her safe just as what is stated in the contract. He stayed at the door as she discussed with the PR director. Albert Roberts was a little confused on why Johanna suddenly had a bodyguard. He cleared his throat.
"Uh, is it alright to have this man here?" He asked Johanna. She glanced at Conrad.
"Yes. The President assigned him to me. I think he won't go away easily." Johanna said. Albert nodded.
"Alright," Albert cleared his throat as he scribbled on his tablet using the pen touch. "I already had the traces of the journalists and the case of libel to the journalists and its resources."
"Just how wide are they to gather it so quickly?" She asked. Albert adjusted his glasses.
"I hired hackers." He mumbled.
"Oh," Johanna glanced at Conrad who didn't even react to anything that they were talking about. "Nicely done."
"Our President and you have been working so hard to make the company's reputation clean. Also, President De Alegre won't let anyone badmouth his wife. He wouldn't hire me for nothing."
"So, who are you loyal to?"
"Both." He shrugged. "I can't choose well." Albert winked. Johanna was sure that Albert had been trying to flirt with her but they were just friends and colleagues. Also, she doesn't date anyone from work. It'll be bad for their image and bad for her reputation.
The two discussed further the plans and Johanna left with Conrad and used the normal elevator on the way to the President's office.
"Oh, it seemed like the guy was already rejected before he even asked." Conrad snickered.
"Stop making fun of me." She frowned at him and he stopped and bit his lips.
"But the guy was flirting with you. Give him a chance." Conrad teased.
"I don't date anyone from work."
"Ah, a woman of her rules." Conrad shrugged at her. "You'll get old, lady."
"Don't call me lady." She frowned at him. He's quite getting into her nerves.
