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

Connor was dumbfounded at what Johanna could do. She ripped Vanessa's head from her body and placed it near the body. She even fixed the body on how it would look in the image in her head, the way she saw it in the photo and she started stabbing Vanessa's navel and the spot between her pelvis.
"Jo, stop!" Keira called out and Johanna stopped. Then, she stabbed Vanessa in the heart and left the knife there. She stood and stared at Vanessa's body.
Connor, at that moment, felt a hot sensation in his eyes. His heartfelt like it's bleeding. He didn't do anything to protect Johanna, but he let her kill those people and he didn't know how many dead bodies were scattered and piled up but Johanna was only staring at Vanessa's body that she killed. She had a few cuts on her arms but he wanted to know if she's okay and if their baby is okay.
A man who came wearing a hood and a mask approached Johanna.
Harvey took out a white clean handkerchief and wiped Johanna's face.
"Well done, my dear," Harvey mumbled and kissed her temple. "I'll clean this up."
Keira gently pushed her guards as they gave her space. The Head Guard stopped her but she said that it's fine and she approached her sister and reached her bloody hand. Although she's crying, she composed herself and reached her tummy.
"Are you alright? Does anything hurt?" She asked while tearing.
Johanna nodded and carefully wiped her hand and wiped her tears.
"I said that I'll protect you. And this image is what Wendy had dreamt… with your body on it. But I made something special." She smiled but somehow, her smile looked sick rather than sweet. Keira nodded and started sobbing.
Connor faced the bodyguards as they stood straight.
"Nothing will come out after this." He said to them as he saluted.
Then, he turned around to find Violet in their cleaning outfit with Bull, Chameleon, and Viper. Violet was staring at Johanna and she looked at him like they already read each other's heads.
"Okay, team! Let's clean up." Harvey smiled behind the mask that he's wearing and the team who were fully equipped with PPE.
They started sealing up the bodies on the bag as the bodyguards were checking if there were witnesses and the cleaning continued as they piled them on sealing carts. Connor helped them a little bit and followed Keira and Johanna to the door.
When they reached Keira's office, Connor quickly checked for blankets and gave them to Johanna.

"Take a shower," Keira told her but Johanna shook her head.
"No. There might be another who would come out."
Keira sighed and looked at Connor with those worried eyes.
"I'll protect her," Connor told but then Harvey arrived with MJ.
"Don't worry. You can take a shower, sis. I'll protect Keira." Harvey told Connor, and Connor took Johanna to her office as MJ approached Keira and hugged her.
Connor helped Johanna but made her stand over the carpet. He closed the blinds and helped her remove her clothes as he put them in the garbage bag. He also removed his clothes to join her in the bath. Then, he led her to the bathroom and checked her body if she had bruises on her stomach. There's none but she had a few cuts on her arms. He turned on the cold shower and helped wash her hair.
The blood was washed by the water and he took the soap to rub it onto her body.
"You didn't feel any discomfort? Is our baby alright?"
"Yes," She nodded at him and turned to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist.
He caressed her damp hair, bent down, and kissed her.
"Make sure not to do extreme things." He said softly. "Hannah."
She stopped and stared at him.
"I've been searching for you~~"
"No." She shook her head. "I'm Johanna Elton Del Carlo."
He was silent and only nodded at her.
"I love you, no matter who you are."

Keira was pacing back and forth while MJ stayed with her. Currently, Harvey was in their secret room to check on a few things while the team was cleaning up the floor under her office. MJ had also given her a sealed bottle of water and she had sipped on it. The box was still in front of them and after a few moments, the door burst open and Alessandro quickly rushed to her and hugged her.
She felt relieved when she smelled her husband and she also received a lot of kisses from him.
"I'm alright," Keira smiled. She reached his cheeks and squeezed them. Then, Alessandro looked at the coffee table. He gently pushed Keira.
"What's that?" He asked. Keira didn't want him to see it but he quickly checked the box and read the card.
My dearest Keira,
Have you seen the doll? That's what's going to happen when you touch someone's man. See you somewhere in hell. If I see you…
-WENDY
His nose flared in anger and was about to destroy it but MJ held his arm and shook her head.

"Love, I'm fine. You can't destroy that."
He dropped and stared at the Barbie Doll. MJ stepped away and Alessandro approached her and caressed her hair. She smiled at him and hugged him tightly. The couple kept talking to each other and finally, Harvey came out and said that he had to check on something and left the office.
MJ gathered the items on the box and closed it. She watched as the couple cuddled and Keira told him how scared she was of what happened. She said that it was bloody and brutal.
Alessandro felt bad that she had to witness it. He kept caressing her hair until Keira's heartbeat slowly calmed down and her cold hands started getting warm. The door opened as Johanna and Connor entered.
"Jo," Keira quickly pushed her husband as she stood and rushed to her. "Are you alright? How about the baby?"
"I am fine," Johanna mumbled and glanced at Alessandro. Keira sighed in relief. "Let's go home." Johanna held her hand tightly and Harvey entered as he stretched his arms.
"Okay guys, uh~~" He looked around. "I'll handle a few things here."
"I'll help you," Alessandro said. "Connor, please take my wife somewhere safe."
"I will."
Connor nodded and Keira took her purse. Johanna checked her purse first and her phone then, they used the secret door that Harvey gave access to Connor and MJ.
Alessandro kissed his wife first and promised her that he'll be home and Harvey also did the same to his wife. The two watched as they went to the secret elevator of the room. The two stayed in the office and Alessandro sent out a few more men to help on cleaning up the pile of bodies while the guards were helping to secure the employees on the street.
"We need more time," Violet said who was busy replacing the carpets while Viper was the one who cleaned up the desks and removed a few messes. He took photos of it first and it'll be replaced later.
"One hour is enough?" Alessandro asked through the earpiece that was provided to him.
"I think it's more than enough."
Alessandro quickly sent out more men and escorted the employees who were more than 500 to the agency nearby that was also part of the Golden Age. They were given free drinks and snacks while they are currently cleaning up the office and checking a few more possible assassins nearby. Harvey was controlling the whole Golden Age building from the secret room.
He already saw the dead bodies and what he saw was brutal. Mostly on what Johanna did to Vanessa. The assistant. He will eventually replace her or maybe hire someone better. He's not so sure anymore. Lots of people were connected to the Charles Empire and the only person who was fit for the position is MJ. But he knew that Harvey wouldn't want MJ to work again after she retired from EPUA.
"Can you process the loss of thirty employees?"
"Yup. They were new, so," He shrugged. "Let's say that they were fired."
"That's not easy," Harvey said and sighed. "This can't be put in public."
"Yes." He nodded. "I already let the EPUA clean up a few of their files and their things."
He scoffed.
"The Dark Lord was such a clean freak when it comes to cleaning someone's identity." Harvey opened the fridge and took out the bottle of milk tea. "You want some?"
"Yeah, sure."
Harvey tossed the pet bottle as Alessandro caught it.
"So, you checked if someone swapped the bottles?"
"Yup. Keira's office is always locked whenever she's out."
"Good."
He opened the cap and Harvey leaned on the desk as they clung to their bottles.
"To protect our family," Alessandro said.
"To protect our family," Harvey answered back and Alessandro sipped on it, his eyes were intended to watch him. Then, swig the bottle to his mouth. "I know that using Johanna was something extreme. But I have no choice." Harvey mumbled. "I can't show my face to them or else, they might find out that I am alive and I am Keira's brother. Hannah Grace was the only one that could pull them down."
"You knew well that Keira loves her so much. And she's in pain whenever Johanna is suffering. Can we limit it a little bit?"
Harvey shook his head.
"But I'll do everything to make sure that Johanna is safe and her baby."
Alessandro was silent for a moment.
"The way that Johanna killed Vanessa was the same in the box."
"Yes, I sent it to her to trigger her. Keira was cornered."
"Jo, understand. You don't have to trigger her. I think she would do everything to protect her family."

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
