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

Keira is supposed to feel frustrated. She couldn't even sleep well last night. The release of the album is a success but how can she relax in peace when her two siblings are fighting. Or more like controlling the younger sister by the older brother. She relaxed by the pool with her husband who was napping with a book over his face. She didn't see Johanna and Connor anywhere. The Chef mentioned that Connor went back upstairs and didn't come back.

"Love!" She tapped him. He moaned and moved his hand. "Do you think that something bad is going on between Connor and Jo?"

"They are fucking. Don't mind them, okay?"

"Hmm,"

Keira nodded but then the maid came up in a rush.

"Madam! Miss Jo is leaving."

"What?" She quickly sat up and put her slippers on. She rushed inside as she watched Connor begging Johanna not to leave.

"Come on, Jo. Let's talk about this." The desperation in Connor's face was the first time that Keira saw.

"Fuck off!" Johanna screamed at him. "Never touch me again."

Connor sighed frustratingly.

Keira was eager to know what happened but Johanna seemed to be unstoppable. She rushed to Johanna who looked terrifying and angry. But she reached her hand as Johanna froze.

"Jo, what's going on?"

Johanna didn't answer. Connor looked away.

"He didn't cheat on you, did he?" Keira was worried about how Jo acted. She never acted this way.

"It's worse than that," Johanna mumbled. Keira doesn't understand what it could be.

"Cheating is worse than impregnating you?!" Connor exclaimed. "Babe, it's an accident."

Keira blinked for a while, confused. Johanna turned to him and slapped his face.

"You better start praying that I am not pregnant." She threatened him.

"I'm sorry," Connor mumbled and he felt embarrassed in front of Keira. But it's Johanna's attitude. "Don't leave now." He scooped her face and kissed her forehead. "I love you." He said and he gently caressed her hair. Connor looked at Keira who nodded and mumbled a sorry to him about Johanna's actions. He nodded at her.

She was worried about Johanna's outburst and now, she seemed to calm down.

"Jo, mom made lemonades. Stay until Sunday. Okay?"

Johanna pushed Connor as she held Keira's hand and hugged her.

"You won't push me away, right?" She mumbled. Keira hugged her tightly.

"I won't. Now, calm down and let's enjoy our relaxation. Okay?" Keira gently pushed her and scooped her face. Johanna nodded at her as the girls went to the pool.

MJ stared at the single red stripe on the pregnancy test. Her fiance was at the door waiting for the result. She threw the pregnancy test in the trash bin and approached him. Her fiance quickly wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Don't worry. We will soon be blessed by beautiful babies." He promised her. She nodded at him and shoved her face to his chest.

Since she's an orphan and once had a broken family, MJ wished to have a beautiful family of her own. She thought about it momentarily with Jake, but the bastard always told her what to do and what not to do. Plus, he was a cheater. Harvey was the only man who treated her dearly.

"Okay, stop crying! We have a lot of things to do. Like trying out the new sex toys that I bought."

"You bought what?" She looked up at him with creased brows. Harvey caressed her hair.

"Sometimes to please you more." He kissed her forehead and carried her to bed. "Let's enjoy this weekend like we never did."

"I'm so into it."

The whole afternoon was full of love-making and so the couple had their takeouts rather than cooking. And they eat in the living room on their favorite spot.

At that moment, MJ wanted to ask him a big question although she knew that he wouldn't answer.

"Love, I want to ask a question."

"Sure, go ahead." He munched on the nuggets while staring at the television."

"Violet mentioned to me that you know where Hannah Grace is."

Harvey quickly covered her mouth and looked around. He looked paranoid. She pushed his hand.

"Never say that name again." His voice was low, sounding like he's a growling wolf.

Connor promised not to have sex with her or touch her or even sleep beside her. That's why he put a mattress on the floor to sleep on. He wanted to make sure that she wouldn't have a nightmare. This time, Johanna was already sleeping on the bed and he entered once that she's asleep. They had an agreement not to ever have sex. His heart still aches to see her hugging the pillow. She used to hug him like that.

He carefully pulled the duvet over her shoulder and kissed her head. He then lay down, turned to the bed, and stared at her back. Keira told her to be patient and so, he was being patient. He knew that she's Hannah Grace and Karmina also explained to him that she has lots of fears. Mostly on losing Keira. He asked if Keira wouldn't like it if Johanna got pregnant.

"No. I would never hate her and leave her." That's what Keira said.

Now, he thought that it could be Harvey. She's afraid of Harvey. She's afraid that Harvey would take away the people that she cared for. He understood that people kept dying around her. What if she found out about Victor? He read her message to her big brother and there's no address to where it came from. She was waiting for Victor and yet he didn't know if she still remembered him.

Johanna turned to her back, lying flat down while moaning. Then, she suddenly screamed and sat up. Connor quickly approached her and reached her face.

"Baby," He called softly as she started sobbing.

Two daggers or more were stabbed at the same time on his chest. Hannah Grace had a lot of trauma. She was born and made to be a natural killing machine by her parents. He knew how hard she was trained. One time, when they were celebrating Hannah Grace's birthday, Victor got drunk as he told him directly what happened. He cried in Violet's arms and they were the only ones who celebrated Hannah Grace's birthday. The three of them.

He doesn't remember much of it but it was a painful memory for Hannah Grace. She was forced to kill something when she was five years old. Then, when he came home, and their parents would leave, she would cry to him and tell him what happened.

"I killed it." She mumbled, her whole body was shaking and she looked pale.

"Baby," Connor kissed her forehead. "It's just a bad dream."

She breathed in and out to calm herself and hugged him.

"Don't leave me." She begged.

"I would never."

It was a triple pain hearing her say such words. Just like what Keira said, Johanna lived in a very traumatic past and part of it was love ones leaving her. Now, he remembered that according to their investigations, her parents left her because they knew that they were going to die. The same case with Mr. And Mrs. Baker. And probably the same with Victor now.

"Babe, look at me." He said softly and she gently unwrapped herself from him and looked up at him. "I would never leave you. I love you."

She sniffled and nodded at him. Somehow, she suddenly acted or looked like a child. He was confused and thought that maybe she had (DID)Dissociative Identity Disorder. She cuddled with him like a child and he accepted the fact that she's indeed different now. But he's afraid that she'll go back to her cold self by tomorrow.

It doesn't matter! What matters is her mental health. He has to solve that and keep her away from Harvey. But how is he going to do that when they start killing the assassins?

"Sing me 'You are my sunshine." She said and suddenly shook her head. "No, I want Keira."

"Yes, dear."

She sniffled, watching him take the telephone and dialed Keira's room. It didn't take a while when Keira answered.

"Keira, I'm sorry for disturbing you. But Jo needs you."

"I'll be there."

After a few moments, Keira knocked and she entered with a smile.

"I'll get water," Connor said as Keira sat beside her and caressed her hair. He listened to them.

"Got a bad dream?" Keira asked and by looking at them, it looks like Keira was older as Johanna nodded like a child. Then, Keira hugged her and started singing for her. He swore that it might be the first time hearing Keira sing and he got goosebumps all over his body. She sang so beautifully and in a very angelic way.

Connor sat on the other side as he gave the water to Johanna who took a few sips while listening to Keira. Johanna was smiling as Keira was caressing her hair. Now, he understood, maybe Johanna felt safer and felt loved whenever someone would do that to her. Keira made her calm at once and the anxiety in her eyes faded. She fell asleep and Keira played the song softly, the one that she seemed to sing and recorded by herself.

"I'm sorry," Keira mumbled. "It's been a while since she was like this."

"She has DID?" Connor asked.

"You could say that. She'll be back to herself tomorrow." Keira kissed her forehead. "I can't stop Harvey." She mumbled. "I feel so in pain that she was forced to do things that she didn't like."

"I'll protect her," Connor said.

"Thank you." Keira smiled and stared at Johanna for a few moments before she left.
