《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
Alessandro learned from Sabrina that Conrad is not part of EPUA anymore. He's jobless yet he's still around Johanna. Also, Sabrina destroyed the contract in front of him, which he agreed about. So, Conrad doesn't exist anymore. He'll be Connor Crawford. Alessandro wanted him to work for Golden Age Entertainment. It's to protect Keira, Johanna, and the company. Also, it's hard to handle the spies in the company.
Then, he called his wife to tell her that Johanna won't have any bodyguards now. Conrad is out.
"I heard that they are having Asian Season that was served by the same chef yesterday."
"Alright." Alessandro stood. "I'm going there."
"Yes, sir."
He stood and stretched.
"I'm going to walk." He told him.
"But isn't it~~"
"The building is just a few blocks away and everything is clear." He told her.
The team confirmed that there's no attack. Since Nancy and the boys were already dead, they are searching for Harvey's identity. So, from now on, they will have to stop using the name, Harvey. He preferred Handsome Hulk which he always cringed about. So, he took a walk to the Golden Age and used the front entrance as the easiest way than the parking area with her bodyguards.
When he reached the floor, the chef came with his crew and they prepared the food in the dining area and reheated a few more of it as his wife was clapping her hands and admiring the food.
"Don't you ever admire the handsome chef?" Alessandro murmured to her. She was surprised that he was even there and she creased her brows.
"Are you supposed to be in your office?" She frowned at him.
"Can't I visit my wife and eat with her?"
"Did you come here because the food is free and it's Connor's treat?" She asked him, now using the name Connor for Conrad.
"Yeah." He grinned at her. She snorted.
"It's a good thing that he bought food for twenty-five people." Keira nodded. "Then, you came." She shook her head.
"Come on, don't make it the bad way." He threw his arms over her shoulder like they were normal friends and bent down to her ear. "I was planning to speak to you a bit about the upcoming lovers."
Keira smirked at him and raised her thumb.
"I already had a mom to have groceries for them." He murmured again. "With scented candles."
Keira snickered and then when Johanna eyed them, they stopped and tried to look as normal as possible.
"I am up for fatty foods," Keira exclaimed.

Karmina was in the grocery with the foods listed Alessandro for Johanna and Conrad's new place. She smiled at the scented candles that can also be bought in the grocery store. There's also a condom but she crosses it out. Johanna is old enough to have children of her own. Also, she's aiming for the relationship of the two. Conrad is also a responsible man and he protects Johanna. If not rich, Karmina at least wanted someone who could protect her daughter and it's Conrad. She's not aiming for someone rich after all.
"Ma'am, are you supposed to buy all of these?" The maid asked.
"Yes, just buy the things we need in the mansion and I'll handle the list that Alessandro sent."
She raised her head and checked the shelves. However, a man peeking through the box that he's holding caught her eyes. She thought that he's familiar. She was about to approach him but a lady stood in front of her trolley and blocked her. She moved to the aisle to look at the man again but he left. She stared at the man's back and something that piqued her interest. She didn't want to mention the name because she didn't want to get her hopes high.
Suddenly, a man in disguise was on the other side. She quickly approached the man and smiled.
"Conrad," She called.
Conrad lowered his head.
"Mrs. Del Carlo." Conrad smiled and removed his sunglasses.
"What are you doing?" She asked. "Are you supposed to be with Jo?"
"I~~I went off to shop." He smiled.
"I'll handle the groceries. Go back to Jo." Karmina said.
"But~"
He checked the time and cursed.
"Oops, sorry. I have to go."
"I told you. Send me the things you need."
"Uh, I think I can handle that," Conrad said shyly.
"Don't worry. I'll handle it." She said gently. "Also, you don't need a condom. You and Jo are adults."
He smiled awkwardly.
"I don't think that's what Jo wanted."
Karmina shrugged.
"Well, go." She shooed him.
He quickly left and waved at her. Her hair stood as she felt someone watching her again.

Conrad arrived at the office at exactly three in the afternoon. Johanna glared at him but he came back with a box of gelatin with flowers inside it.
"Here, you don't want flowers. And here's something that you could eat."
She stared at it and it looked beautiful and it's still cold.
"Let's leave now. I have to pack things up."
"Okay." He smiled and he sat down and relaxed on the sofa while she's organizing her things.

"You should have come back earlier so you could take a nap."
"It's fine." He smiled at her. Keira entered the office and smiled.
"So, send me pics for your house," Keira said.
"Sure." Conrad grinned.
"I'll also send my gifts for you newlyweds." She winked as Conrad laughed.
"We aren't married." Johanna glared at Keira.
Keira shrugged.
"I'm going to the recording room to check on the kids. Laters." Keira wiggles her fingers as she winked and left.
Conrad laughed and waved at her.
"It's not good if this is not cold." She told him.
"Hurry up, so we can leave." He winked.
Johanna shook her head.
The time that they left the office, she drove her Jeep through the traffic to the penthouse. When she arrived there, the maids were nowhere since they were in someplace safe with Bonnie. She went to her closet and rummaged while Conrad went to the room that he used and took out a few of his belongings. It didn't take long since he set it up yesterday. When he went to her, she carefully put the clothes on the luggage without folding them.
"You don't have to take all of your clothes." He said.
"Yeah, I won't. At least I have to take the clothes that I need for the week."
"Hmm," he nodded. "How about the food in the fridge and the pantry?"
"Leave it. I gave my brother access here. Also, mom will be here tomorrow to clean things up."
"Okay." He nodded.
They left the penthouse after making sure that it was locked. Conrad held the bag for her and grinned at her.
"I don't know why you are grinning like that." She snorted.
"It looks like we are eloping!"
She shook her head and when they reached the parking lot, they walked past her car and she noticed a black normal Mitsubishi van. He opened it with the keys and slid the door and put the bags there. She noticed lots of paper bags and grocery bags. She peeked at it.
"Well, Sandro lent it to us." He winked.
"What's with those bags?"
"Those are just bags." He answered. She creased her brows and he closed the door. Then, he opened the door to the passenger seat and gestured.
"Conrad, I don't want crazy things." She told him.
"Okay,"
It was like a thirty-five minutes drive and without traffic, it would be twenty minutes. They entered a subdivision and she noticed big houses and very tight security. She glanced at him who was busy driving. They passed through houses and it seemed that the house was far away from other houses. They stopped on a plot with a tall wall and electric operated big gate.
"Is this your house?" She asked.
"Our future house if you want." He teased her.
The gate opened and to her surprise, there was a small fountain in the middle of the driveway in front of the main entrance of the house. The house isn't tall but it's only two-story and it's wide. There's also a garden and trees and she noticed lots of cameras even on the front of the house.
"It's beautiful." She said. "It's not a big house but it's beautiful."
"Yeah." He grinned at her. He took out a small remote and gave it to her. "The door is electronic and operated with code."
He took her to the door and typed the code.
"It also has face recognition." He pointed to the camera. "So, for now. The only people who could enter are me and you."
The door opened after he clicked a few things and he waved around. He turned on the lights and gestured to her.
"Look around now, darling." He said. "I'll bring our bags upstairs."
She looked around and noticed that it's a beautiful normal life for a couple who have a profession and are earning well. It looked normal but she noticed lots of cameras on every corner, it's not easy to find, but she somehow noticed it. Her instinct is always activated and she could feel if someone was watching her.
Her family room was big too and there's a wall piano, then a couch. She kept walking around and found a few rooms. A cinema room? It has at least five comfortable seats and at the very back is a wide big sofa. There's a lot of things around but she noticed that the space was small rather than the look from the outside.
Johanna's secret was being able to see things through. The length, height, weight. It's easy for her to determine it and there's only 5 percent that she could be wrong or not accurate.
Even without measuring it. She knows that there could be hidden rooms or passages. She went to the kitchen and noticed the grocery bags. So, she started organizing it in the pantry next to the cabinet fridge. There's nothing there but water in a glass bottle that has a seal. She checked it and gasped. From a Mondragon Distilled?

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
