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

Keira's heart felt like it was stabbed multiple times while watching Johanna become uncontrollable and trying to kill the assassin. She wonders the meaning behind that burnt mark. Does it trigger Johanna's trauma?
"Baby," Connor held her tightly in his strong arms while Harvey took the body away with their security. That's when Keira decided to approach her sister, reached both of her hands, and took away the sharp thing. She relaxes a bit and Keira hugged her.
"It's alright, Jo," Keira said softly to coax her.
Her breathing started getting calmer and Keira took her back inside. That time, they now understand that Keira is Johanna's tranquilizer. If they lose Keira, they can imagine how it will become to Johanna. It will be chaotic. That's why they are protecting Keira as much as they can. It's the only way to keep Jo calm and sane. But there are things that they couldn't control and it made them anxious.
Keira gently pulled Johanna to sit on the sofa in their family room. That's when Henry and Karmina approached them. The look on their faces was full of concern. It's been so long since they last saw Johanna become violent. For Keira, the most violent Johanna was when she was cornered in her office. There was bloodshed in the office. She was now ready for any unexpected bloody encounter.
"What happened?" Henry murmured to his friend Alex as the two moved away to have a private conversation.
"Would you like some hot cocoa or milk?" Karmina asked Johanna. Mina reached both of her hands and it was cold and shaking a little. She massaged it a little.
"M-milk." She mumbled to Karmina.
"It's a good thing that I bought milk for your pregnancy." She kissed both of her hands. "How about you, darling?" She asked Keira.
"Hot choco, mom." Keira smiled and kissed her mom.
It takes a few more minutes when Connor and Harvey come. Currently, Johanna was sipping on the warm milk.
"I will handle it. All of you, stay here." Harvey said. "Mitch, stay with Jo. I already called the team."
"Okay," MJ nodded as she approached Karmina who gave her hot milk.
"Con, you should rest," Karmina said. "You came late and it's already morning."
Johanna stood after she finished her milk and approached Connor. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"We will go to our room now," Connor told them.
They watched as Johanna held onto Connor tightly. But for Karmina, as a mother, she's happy that there's someone else other than Keira that Johanna felt safe with. Now, in this matter, there is so much more that will happen.

"I don't understand what happened," Keira said as MJ sat beside her.
"The man's mark is one of the biggest gangs that is now serving as assassins. In Johanna's childhood, they nearly killed her parents and she was threatened to kill Victor. She killed those assassins in an instant. But since she was given to the Baker Couple, she survived and her parents got killed on their way off to make a decoy of Jo. This is all in Victor's journal."
"That's why," Keira nodded. A lot more bloody things happened in Johanna's memory. She forgot all of it but a simple sign could trigger her to kill. She finished her hot chocolate. "I'm going back to bed." She said and went upstairs without her husband. She needs to plan thoroughly on what will happen now. Although people were protecting her, Keira also needed to make a move on her own. And of course, she needed to consult her brother.
She started scribbling on possible things. Like, if ever Wendy would attack, she's sure that Wendy wanted something brutal. They are not someone who would use poison. She didn't realize that there's a knock on the door and her husband entered. She continued with her plan… scribbling on words that are hard to read.
"Love," Alessandro called. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm going to make a plan on how to kill them."
"Uh?" Alessandro doubted her. She can't kill someone… but she can kill a cockroach. He smiled at her and patted her head. "So, what do you plan?"
"Now that she's after Tracey, we have to hide that little girl. They need the best assassin to kill Tracey. But with the Crazy Bastard Squad, we will be alive for now. Currently, the Charles Empire needed Victor to kill Tracey in his bare hands."
"Hmm," Alessandro sat beside her as he crossed his arms and rubbed his chin. "Then? The wedding?" He asked. "Damn, they know that we are here in this villa. We need to move out somewhere else."
That also made Keira puzzled for a while. She tilted her head while looking at him. Never did she know that she looked so adorable in that expression that Alessandro had to stop from thinking other things but to stare at his wife.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing." He shook his head and scratched his nose. This isn't the first time that he should be mesmerized by her darling. "You are so cute." He mumbled and stood.
"What?" Keira laughed and reached his pants. "Babe! What did you say?" She kept giggling that probably already pissed him off.

"Keira, let my pants go."
"Babe, come on. What did you say?"
"I said you are cute. Now," He turned to her with a flushed face. "Let go of my pants or else you won't sleep again."
"I don't plan to sleep at all." She giggled and moved closer to pull his shirt. "Come on baby, pounce on me!" Her voice was sexy and very much playful. This is what Alessandro was afraid of. The dominant Keira is back and she's becoming wild.

Violet received a message about this assassin. They didn't find anything else and there was only an assassin who entered the villa. It was currently in the torment warehouse. She yawned and slipped off from her twin bed in the laboratory that Ian provided. She will just make a report and won't intervene with them. She turned on the water boiler and prepared the chocolate milk for her pregnancy. Now, she should visit Leon and Bull first since Bull brought a girl to Leon's. She shrugged it off. She'll do it later after she checks her schedules.
She gently caressed her round tummy that started getting bigger. She exhaled and went to her fridge. She was picky. She will eat at Leon since it's still early. She finished her milk, put her robe on, and grabbed her overnight bag. She drove her car directly to Leon's mansion which was thirty minutes drive from the secret laboratory. She gave her access and the time that she entered, she already smelled famishing food. The smell led her to the kitchen as her eyes beamed.
"You hungry, Vi?" Bull asked without turning around.
"Hey, thanks, big bro!" She turned her head to Leon who had just arrived and she threw her bag to him. "Bring that to my room."
"Violet, I told you. I am not her valet!"
"You are the owner of this house and I am a guest." She raised her left brow and he quickly nodded and rushed upstairs. "So, what happened?" Violet rummaged to the fridge that was full of food and she picked up the yogurt.
"To what incident?" Bull asked and carefully put the scrambled eggs on top of the fried rice. He pushed it toward Violet and he gave her a bowl of soup and sliced fruits.
"The incident at the Villa."
"Oh," Bull nodded. "Leon and Viper already take care of it. He can't make this one talk since he doesn't have a tongue."
"Hmm," Violet nodded. "How about writing?"
"We don't think that he would even write. So, the best way was torture and kill."
"So, he didn't make it to the torture villa?" Violet creased her brows.
"No. He has a tracker inside his body." Bull answered.
Violet blinked her eyes.
"Let's not talk about that." Bull said and gave her a glass of water. "It will ruin your appetite."
He continued making another and set it up on the tray with a lily flower from Leon's garden.
"Well, romantic Terrence." Violet sneered. "Good luck."
Bull kissed her temple as he left with the big breakfast for the girl that he is protecting. Now, it's time to meet this girl and investigate her. Bull just slaughtered the gang that might be connected in some kind of organization. She reached for her water and sipped on it. Then, Leon came and hugged her and kissed her forehead. He sat down and took the food that Bull prepared.
"So, how were you last night?" Leon asked and started eating.
"I'm doing fine."
"Hmm," he nodded.
"But I want you to do something. This is tricky."
"Sure, anything, dear Violet." He smiled at her charmingly.
"It's about my fiancé."
Leon bounced his head, not even surprised.
"You won't betray me, right? Even if I had rejected you many times?"
"No." He shook his head. "You save me, Violet. Your fiancé also saved me. I owe so much to you."
"Then, you can say that you are paid if you do this thing."
"Say what you wish," Leon told her.
"I want you to get his blood sample."
Leon creased his brows.
"Violet, that's~~impossible."
"I know." Violet sighed. "Soon, he will come to kill Tracey. I am sorry for her and Ian, but this is my last shot."
"Alright!" Leon nodded. He exhaled slowly and continued eating. "I will do my best since you need it."
"Thank you." She smiled at him.
"But you have to take care of your body, Violet. I think you should resign from the Golden Age now."
"I will,"
Violet knew that they cared for her. They are her big brothers that's why they can never be her lover.
