《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
Violet was humming the new song that Keira composed for Harvey and MJ's wedding. And currently, she's in the secret underground laboratory that her friend, Ian set up for her. He surely worked hard to set up every machine that she needed. It's also clean and Bull was still arranging a few things that she recently purchased. She's also currently dealing with Johanna's DNA with her permission to work on this.
"How's Victor?" Violet asked Bull.
"According to Ian, Victor is still being held and slowly regaining his strength. Also, they grounded Wendy after the catfight with Tracey."
"Is she alright? Tracey?"
"Yes, I think. She's with Ian."
"They seemed to be doing well," Violet smirked as she peeked at the microscope. Somehow, the cells aren't working well with Johanna's cells. Johanna's DNA seemed normal or she's only a natural killing machine. But if it's like a virus, could she use Johanna's DNA to clear out the nanomites from Victor's body? The next thing she needs will be very risky. Taking his DNA would cause a lot of trouble.
"What else do you need?" Bull asked.
"I need Victor's DNA. Jo's DNA is not enough for testing. But It's still a long way before I completed the formula."
Bull leaned on the counter and thought for a while.
"It will be risky for Ian to go there." Bull said. "But we will prepare a big plan just to get his DNA."
Violet exhaled and shook her head. She regretted one thing. She lost Victor's blood while they were sleeping together. But it was said that he's in a level 3 program and so they need his sample.
"Don't worry, Vi. I'll plan well for it with Ian."
"Sure thing." She smiled.
"By the way, your snack is ready. Wash up."
"What songs are humming?" Bull asked as he went to the other room where their foods were set up.
"Keira composed it for Harvey and MJ's wedding. We have to be there." She washed her hand thoroughly after removing her laboratory coat. Then, she sat down and took the fork, and started eating the fruits that Bull prepared for her. She was lucky enough to have friends like them. Anyone can say that she's one of the boys that even her ex~~which is Ian, always sends fresh fruits and vegetables for her and high-quality meat.
"I thought that Ian bought these fruits. But they surprisingly came from his farm."

She stopped eating and stared at him.
"Does he have a farm?" She asked.
"Yes," Bull told him. "I guess that the fruits that he gave to you as a peace offering came from there too."
"Filthy rich bastard." She grumbled and ate more of it.
"I know right. I was thinking of a big farm too before I retire."
Violet nodded at him.
"Yes, you are right. It's indeed practical to have a farm." She poked the watermelon and looked at him. "Have you perhaps like someone else?"
Bull stopped from eating as his ears flushed.
"Got you!" Violet laughed. "So you are seeing someone?"
"Yes, I met her at the bar and she was completely drugged. I took her to the hospital and I thought that she'll get terrified of me."
"Then?" Violet seemed excited.
"I already did a background search on her and she's working as a waitress in one of the luxury restaurants. We've been seeing each other for like a week now."
"Bang her, dude!" Violet laughed.
"Hey, that's not a good thing." Bull shook his head. "She's old-fashioned and she's timid."
"Oh, you like girls that are timid?" Violet teased.
"Yeah. So, I'm gonna leave you here early to meet her."
"Sure thing. I'm fine here." Violet grinned.
"I'll alarm the clock and you have to sleep at that time. It'll be good for the baby."
"Thanks, bro."
Bull finished the fruits and he stood and put his jacket on.
"I'll check on you, okay?" He kissed her head like she's a real sibling to him and she waved at him. If only she had a real brother, she would choose him. He's kind and not hard to love at all. But she only looked at him like a brother and he felt the same.
<><><><>
The time that Bull reached the restaurant using his big bike, he parked on the sidewalk and checked his phone. She came out shortly waving at her coworkers and he quickly hopped out of the bike. He stopped when a man approached her. She stepped back a little and held her bag.
"You have to pay or your brother will die." One of the men said as the security guard of the restaurant quickly came out to confront the strangers. Bull didn't hesitate on approaching her as those boys left. He removed his helmet and held her arm. She's shaking.

"What is it?" He asked.
"Terrence." She mumbled.
"I'll take you home."
She nodded and glanced at those people who walked away quickly. She pulled her arm although she was scared.
"No, I don't want you to put you in my problem."
Bull looked down at her. She looked so delicate and small. He let her go as she started walking in a different direction. Without her knowledge, he put a tracker in her pocket and he waited for five minutes and then, he followed her and as she got on the bus. He noticed that there were few scooters following the bus. He also noticed that the jacket that those men are wearing are the same as the ones who approached her. He kept his eyes on the bus where she was being smashed by a few people.
It didn't take long when the bus went out of the city and stopped in the last area. He watched her from a distance as she came out. Then, she started walking. He also watched as those men in motorcycles stopped and cornered her. She quickly tried to run but she was cornered again. They take her to the dark alley nearby and Bull didn't hesitate on driving directly to them.
They were ripping her clothes and punching her and the time he hopped out made them stop.
"Who is this asshole?" They lifted the girl who had a bleeding nose. His anger rushed up to his head and quickly removed his helmet and punched the first one who was rushing to him with a knife… it was straight to the face and the man fell flat on the ground. One took out his gun and shot him directly but Bull caught the bullet fast before he was even hit and he dropped it on the ground.
They stepped back and were about to grab the woman's bag. He quickly approached them to grab it back and punched the man right in the jaw. The man who was holding a gun started firing it toward him. But he was fast when he covered the woman and put the helmet at the back of his head. He winced but the man ran out of bullets. So, he quickly threw his helmet directly at the gunman and punched him right on the face, stomach and groaned. He hit a few of the vital points. A lot of them ran quickly and he looked down at her.
She started sobbing and held on to him.
"Y~You are shot."
"I'm fine." He said softly and removed his coat as the bullets fell from it. He shook it and put it on her.
"Y~you aren't hurt?" She asked.
"Yes. This is bulletproof." He reached her chin, his heart ached to see her bruises. "I'll take you to the hospital."
"No." She shook her head.
He put her shabby bag on and he approached the man to reach his helmet. He then takes her to his motorbike and brings her to Leon's house which surprised his friend. It was a two hours drive and he kept her hand around him tightly so she wouldn't fall although she was dozing.
She looked completely passed out and this is the only way. To Chameleon's house.
Leon opened the door for him and his face palmed in frustration.
"What the hell?"
"She's hurt, check on her."
Leon helped take the girl. She looked beaten and had collapsed.
"Not a hospital?" he asked.
"They might call someone to report me." Bull said. "Look at my face, Leon."
Leon looked at his face.
"There's nothing wrong with your face. You are handsomely dangerous." He said as Bull quickly turned off his bike.
"Precisely, that's why I can't take her there." He took the girl from Leon and carried her inside as Leon followed.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Gangsters were after her." He told and took her directly to the room where he was staying. "I need you to check on her and even have an x-ray…"
"Okay. I'll set up my clinic." He hooked his hand. "And where's Violet?" He asked.
"She's busy right now. I can't tell you where she was." Bull said as he carefully removed the coat and caressed the strands of hair that covered her face.
"Are you sure that this girl is what you think?"
"Yes, and if not. I will take responsibility."
Somehow, it reminds him of his little sister. She got raped and murdered. Later on, he learned that their alcoholic father and drug addict mother sold her off. That's when his revenge started and he killed them all. He got out alive but still, his heart was empty after losing his sister that was only one year younger than him. If that was also her case, he will do everything to protect her.
"Maxi?" he called as the woman slowly opened her eyes.
"T~terrence…"
