The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 148 - Blood And Flesh

Chapter 148 - Blood And Flesh

Keira's heartbeat was fast. Her adrenaline was pumping like crazy as she kept running and running inside the building. At first, she didn't recognize it. Soon, there's the logo of the Golden Age, she knew that she was in her building. She panted as she headed back to her office to hide in the secret room. However, an evil grin of Kennedy Charles with a machete suddenly came out and made her shudder.

"Oh, Princess Keira…" His head was tilted as he walked and dragged the thick and long machete on the carpeted floor. "Where are you going? Don't you want to play with me?"

She tried to scream but she couldn't. Then, the man laughed hysterically as he growled and ran fast to her. She couldn't move at first but she turned back to run. To her surprise, a fast runner, like a cheetah rushed past her and when she turned her head, Kennedy's throat was sliced as blood gushed out like sprinklers to the carpet. Her eyes dilated as Johanna kept stabbing the man's back with those cold murderous eyes.

"Jo!" She finally screamed.

She sat up and gasped some air. She felt like she couldn't breathe at all. She searched for Alessandro and he quickly approached her when he came out from the bathroom and held her.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "You were screaming?"

She rubbed her chest and looked at each side.

"Jo, where's, Jo?"

"She's in her room." Alessandro creased his brows. "Tell me."

Keira burst into tears as she started telling about her dream. He never thought that it could be that scary and it was already traumatic although it was a dream. Alessandro quickly fetched a glass of water and made her drink it. She relaxes after a few moments and she cuddles with him and falls asleep again.

Alessandro seemed to have found out about the real Hannah Grace. Even Connor gave him a sign. They were right after all. This time, Johanna was changing her mood and attitude. It's like she had dissociative identity disorder. But to be the fact was, her attitude and behavior changed when it was triggered. It's one of her defense mechanisms to avoid killing herself and to protect Keira and Karmina.

After thirty minutes, she seemed to be sleeping well now. So, he pushed the tangled sheets, slipped off from bed carefully, and left the room. He went downstairs to get something to eat and filled their almost empty mini-fridge in their room. He was surprised when Karmina was awake and seemed to be preparing something.

"Mom, why are you still awake?" He asked.

"Oh, I had a bad dream and couldn't sleep. So, I make desserts and easy-to-cook foods for MJ and H."

"Okay," He approached the fridge as he opened it. "Keira also had a nightmare." He took out a tray of yogurt and fruits. "It's full of blood and shits. I couldn't sleep."

He turned to Karmina who seemed to stop.

"Is Jo okay?" She suddenly asked. It was odd and cunning that the three of them had a weird connection. Keira was like Karmina who had strong feelings and senses. Also a strong intuition.

"Yes, she wasn't a while ago. Keira mentioned that she's afraid to get pregnant and she's angry at Connor…"

Karmina looked anxious and Alessandro shouldn't say it.

"I'm sorry, mom. I shouldn't say things. It'll bother you more."

"Don't worry." Karmina shook her head. "They are my daughters and I~~I should worry about them."

"Mom, you shouldn't stay long and you should sleep." Alessandro put the yogurt and fruits on the counter table and hugged Karmina from behind. "Keira and Johanna will be worried. Okay?"

"Alright, I'll just finish this so your big bro could pick it up later."

"Sure, mom." Alessandro took a few more foods and took them upstairs.

He filled up the fridge and momentarily, his wife seemed to be shifting position. He was careful as he put it back in the fridge. Then, he approached her and checked on her. He almost smacked his head when he remembered that she liked those yogurt drinks. He kissed her forehead as he went downstairs. However, he froze seeing a silhouette of two people hugging.

He recognized his father who looked drunk and then his mother-in-law who was patting his father's back in a friendly way.

"Alright, go upstairs and change your clothes," Karmina said. "Did you and Gena have fun?" She asked.

"Not really. It's not the fun~~like sex."

Karmina laughed.

"I didn't mean that way. The two of you are close friends after all."

Alright, he doesn't like seeing his father flirting.

"Dad! Come on! I'll take you to bed." He took steps down and pulled his father who had been busy for a long time, and staggered. "Just how much did you drink?"

"Just one… or maybe twoooo…" Alex grumbled.

"I'll call Butler Jay to attend him," Karmina said.

The time that they reached his father's room, he dropped his body and sighed. Alex stared at the ceiling for a while wondering while Alessandro was removing his shoes.

"I want to let go of your mom. When can we hold a funeral, son?"

"Anytime. Since you said that you are ready." He removed his socks. "Are you in love with Mom Karmina?" He asked as he sat on the bed beside his father.

"Yeah…" he mumbled. "I tried to ignore it because I only love your mom."

"I don't mind if you get married again. At least women your age."

"Hmm," he sighed. "Karmina doesn't see me as a man that she would love." He sat up and reached his head. "She was too occupied with caring for her grown children."

"She hasn't moved on yet. She thought that Henry was alive." Alessandro said softly.

Alexander sighed as he dropped his back on the mattress.

"Henry was a very good man. He would give everything to Karmina and his family. He's the reason why we are back on top, Sandro."

"I know. That's why I am doing everything to give everything back to them. I just feel bad that they have to suffer like this because of me. Keira and Johanna have to be scared because of the Charles Empire."

"It's not your fault." Alexander hugged his son. "Why did you grow up so fast?"

"Dad, I didn't." Alessandro rolled his eyes. He stood and went to the mini-fridge to get him cold water. "You were too busy and occupied with other things. That's why."

"I was?" Alex sipped on the water. "I was so busy that I did not notice how you grew up."

"Then, I'll prepare for mom's funeral."

"But don't think that I never love your mom." He said softly.

"I never thought of that. I know how hard it was for you when mom died."

Alessandro patted him.

"You are my model dad."

"Thank you, son."

He went to the door to leave and Butler Paul came with tea. He opened the door wide for him and he went to his wife. He found her legs tangled on the sheets and sleeping peacefully. She must be so tired of all of the emotional distress. She opened her eyes quickly like she's dreaming something crazy. She sat up and looked up at him. She sighed and smiled.

"What's up?" he asked as he sat beside her and scooped her face.

"I was dreaming something lewd." She rubbed his chest. "About you… You weren't busy with me. That's why."

"I was picking up snacks downstairs and I forgot your yogurt drink." He lifted her silk dress to admire her body. "Then, I take dad to his room. He's drunk."

"Hmm," She moved closer to him and hugged him tightly. "I just dreamt that night… our first night."

"I tricked you into marriage. Sorry, baby." He kissed lips passionately.

"You don't have to be sorry." She rubbed his sides. "At least you save me."

He gently pushed her and stood.

"Stay there."

"What?" She frowned. "Do I smell bad?"

"Nope."

He went to the fridge and took out two yogurts and a container of fruits.

"I want sex, not food."

But he gave it to her and covered her back with the duvet. Then, she opened one of the yogurts and dipped the strawberry on it. She was about to take a bite but her husband bit on it first. Then, he pushed her down and poured the cold yogurt into her naked chest.

"I was eating that!" She complained.

"Steady!"

She froze and felt him decorating her chest with the yogurt and he started eating. She frowned at him.

"You want one?"

"I thought you put it in the fridge for me."

He chuckled and teased her with the fruits. She's starving. He touched the strawberry to her lips and she quickly bit his finger.

"Ow!" He screamed.

Then, she quickly switched on biting the strawberry. Alessandro checked if it had a mark.

"Damn it!" He hissed and sneered at her.

"That's for teasing me. Now, clean up my chest, and let's start with making love."

"Okay."

He licked her off while teasing her nipples. She giggled and pulled his hair.

"Let's have a baby next year after the wedding." She finally said.

Alessandro was waiting for that. They originally planned to have a baby after a year or two. But it seemed like she had decided, and it's serious.

"Maybe~~I want to have a baby too, so if ever Jo and MJ get pregnant, they will have another cousin to play with."

"Mom and dad will be very happy." He reached for the condom. "But for now, I am your baby. And I want to devour you alone." He grinned.
