Alessandro squinted his eyes while watching the television. It was savage on what they call his wife. He knew exactly what happened. He will make their life a living hell. His heart was aching so much from the words that they gave toward his wife. He can't let anyone slander her like this without revenge. He reached for her phone to call her.

He was worried sick about her and she answered it shortly.

"My love," He mumbled. "Do you want me to go there?"

"No. I am totally fine. You have to eat your lunch, okay?"

"I will." He looked at the lunch box that Karmina personally delivered to him. It would be nice to eat with her. He can't eat with an upset stomach because of stress.

"Sandro, do you want me to go there? I think you should turn off your television."

His wife's protectiveness and care always make him feel so loved. He turned off the television and smiled.

"I want to see my wife. So, I will go there. Okay?"

"Are you sure? There are a lot of people outside the company."

"I don't mind," Sandro mumbled. He stood quickly and took his lunch box. "I will be there, love."

He quickly told his driver to prepare it. He didn't care at this time if he was eating. He must comfort his wife and his upset stomach. He made the car stop in the very front and the bodyguards quickly pushed the media away as he came out and walked in the main door of the office. He usually used the VIP elevator but this time.

They flash photos toward him but he remains stiff and fierce. He wanted to smash them right away since most of them work for the Charles Empire. Then, he reached his wife's office. His wife greeted him and hugged him. Keira was indeed his stress ball as he squeezed her a little tight in his arms.

"Let's eat together." He took her inside and looked around for Johanna. "Where's Jo?"

"She had to work outside." She shrugged. They entered her office and she sighed. "I hope that it's not dangerous."

"She will be alright." He comforted them and set up the table for them. "Did dad and Harvey already have their lunch?"

"Yes. I waited for you. They are currently busy inside."

She went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water and juices.

"Love, are you feeling well?" Sandro asked.

"You are here. Yes, I'm feeling well." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "You are my happy pill."

"You are my happy pill too."

Everything is well and the stress on his stomach faded like the sunshine after a flood.

The couple eats happily. Since yesterday, both of them haven't been able to eat well because of stress. Although they tried hard to take it out, it's still impossible to forget about it. After their meal, he stayed with her for a while and forgot about the work although he had loads of it. He passed a few of it to his COO and he hired another COO for it to help the other. Since he's married, he wants to take care of her and himself. He can't just go around, smoke, and overwork his body.

"I think you should go now," Keira said and kissed his temple. "Just text me if your head hurts, okay?"

Victor finally sees the outside world after months of being in the facility. The first thing he saw was a pancake store. He wanted to have some but his mission is to find Tracey De Novo. He already had her image in his mind and so he turned back and went to the store that she owns. He entered and looked from his left to right, then around like a robot scanning every detail of the store. A sales lady came and bowed.

"Welcome to our store, sir."

He stared at the woman's face and scanned her identity as the centaur on his earpiece explained it. He walked inside and didn't find the target. He left and went in front of the company building and an agent told them that she's not there. Where is she? He can't just go and find her around. Also, the Charles Empire can't track her.

"She's not here," Victor said and momentarily stopped to see a little girl holding a purple teddy bear. He watched the little girl walking with her mother in a fancy pink dress that would make her look like a Princess.

"Victor, go the other way now." His centaur commanded.

"What if she's not here in the city because they found out that I am after her?"

"We will find her soon."

He passed by the television and found the news about Keira Del Carlo-De Alegre. He stared at it for the moment as they said bad things toward her. Like she's a seductress, a thief, and a fake.

"I met a little girl named Keira." A familiar baby voice made him stop for a while.

"That's Keira Del Carlo. Our next target. For now, Madam would like to play on her and see her fall."

He looked away and continued walking as the car came.

Johanna had gathered the girls that were close to Keira. They were a little shy and looked embarrassed but she had to know everything as she recorded it. She found out from them that her friend Holly was spouting about Keira being the mistress. But the friend took a photo of Holly and Oliver when Keira claimed that Oliver was her boyfriend and Holly was her best friend.

It's not just one but two. Then, the other was also harassed by Oliver and telling her nonsensical things. That Keira won't mind if they would sleep together and whatnot. That friend even recorded it to give it to Keira but that time was the last time she saw her.

The two friends were named Clarisse from the cafe, and Miriam from the convenience store. Two even captured one of their colleagues who set up Keira. She kept it as evidence to help Keira but it was also the last time that they saw her.

"I won't promise anything but please help my sister with this," Johanna said sincerely. "She's suffering from defamation and although her husband was powerful, she was worried about her husband's health if he kept up with these problems."

"Don't worry, Miss Elton. We will make sure that those bullies will regret it. Keira isn't the only one who got harassed by them. And that Holly? She's the one who told Oliver to play with Keira!" Clarisse said.

"I am very close to Keira because we have the same genre in music. She also writes songs for me to give to my mother." Miriam became tearful and she quickly wiped her tears. "She even gave her last tip to help me give my mother a nice gift before she passed away."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's alright. At least Keira made my mother happy with that song." Miriam smiled at Johanna. "Is there a chance to meet her? I missed her."

"Yes," Johanna nodded and smiled at her. "I will set that up. But currently, she's busy with a lot of problems."

"Thank you." Clarisse and Miriam said at the same time. "We will do it," Clarisse said and held hands with Miriam.

"I would like to tell you that this conversation is recorded," Johanna said.

"Yes, we are aware of that."

"I will personally pick you up tomorrow," Johanna told them and gave her number to them. "Also, because this is somehow dangerous."

"D-Dangerous?" Clarisse creased her brows.

"You will be guarded for now." Johanna gathered her things. "I will keep in touch and she extended her hand to them and shook both of them."

"We will see you, Miss Elton."

Johanna nodded her head. She got into her car and drove back to the company. At this time, she's accurate that they are focusing on Keira, not her. So it's safe to meet them. It was an hour's drive back to the company and the first thing that met her was her fiancee who quickly held her hand and led her upstairs using the VIP elevator.

"Did you eat?" He asked. "I bought snacks for you."

"I'm fine, babe. I spoke with Keira's friends." She mumbled.

"How about our baby?" He gently rubbed her stomach.

"Baby's fine." She smiled and tiptoed to kiss his lips.

"Good."

Connor seemed to be too cautious or stressed. So, she stared at him for a while until the door opened. Then, as soon as she entered their office she put her purse on the table.

"So, why are you acting like that?" She asked and he was busy taking out cold drinks.

"Acting like what?"

"What makes you look so cautious?"

He opened the cap of the bottle and gave it to her. He didn't answer for a while.

"Tell me." She insisted.

"It's your brother. He's in the city searching for Tracey."

"My brother?" Johanna creased her brows as she thought of Victor. She doesn't remember his face clearly but she knew his voice and she knew how he cared for her. "Where is he?"

"You can't meet him." He shook his head.

"But~~" Johanna has this big urge to meet her brother. She forgot what he looks like. She wanted to remember his face and hugged him.

"He's not stable."
