The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 17 - Their Past

Chapter 17 - Their Past

They checked-in on one of the five-star hotels near the building. She was too surprised when the staff greeted him. She just realized that he owned the hotel and the restaurant branch inside the hotel.

She kept looking around, admiring the gloriousness of the hotel. Beautiful indoor plants, royal red carpets, beautiful gigantic chandelier in the foyer. He gently pulled her waist and smiled at her.

"We have the best chef in here." He promised. She nodded feeling famished at the same time. They reached the restaurant and walked up to the second floor where the host greeted them and gestured to the table for two.

He pulled a chair for her and she sat down gracefully as she placed her purse over the table. He settled down after removing his coat and the waiter came.

"You don't mind that I order our food. I know that you are very famished and can't wait for a few minutes."

She smiled and nodded. They served sparkling white wine as the waiter expertly opened the cork and poured it on their glasses. He is checking his phone while they are waiting for the waiters and waitresses to serve them.

Soon, she watched as the waiter and waitress gently placed the food on the table.

"You spend too little. Don't make me go down there to buy you thousands of clothes." He threatened that make her looked away from the foods that they are unveiling.

"I don't fancy clothes too much."

"If you don't like clothes here, I can ask someone to shop you out of the country. Do you want to go shopping in Malaysia?" There, he goes again, asking and asking. She exhaled. "How about France?"

"Seriously, I don't need to go there just to shop."

"Then, I'll call my tailor to design executive clothes for you." He seemed to have decided it. She exhaled once again. "Let's eat."

She was surprised to see her favorite foods that seemed ages since she last tasted. She never had eaten these foods for so long because they are struggling with money. She was very much full and they decided to walk back to the building rather than using a car. He is holding her hand like he's afraid that someone would snatch her.

She was sitting on the sofa while reading documents that he gave to her about the Golden Age companies.

In a month he will announce her as the CEO of the Golden Age. She highlighted a few things that she didn't quite understand. He was busy on phone calls and other stuff. Not until his assistant knocks and serves her a hot chocolate and black coffee to him. She thanked the assistant and after she left, she sat down freely with her feet over the coffee table while re-reading a few papers.

He was taking a break from the computer and papers and just admired her working hard. He stood, strode toward her, putting away the papers from her lap, and lay his head down on her lap as he closed his eyes. She started scuffing his hair and massaging it lightly like a stress ball while she's focusing on the contract. It has been an hour and he had fallen asleep.

If not for his secretary, he would take all of the office hours on sleeping. She woke him up and told him to get ready for the two-hour conference. He kissed her lips lightly and thanked her. Her legs must be stiff but she didn't complain.

"I forget that I am in the office and have fallen asleep. I'll reward you later. Take away the papers first and sleep to have energy later." He grinned. She giggled, scooped his cheeks, and kissed it. He immediately kissed her back.

He faced the board looking all good from the sleep and his brain had relaxed and sank in all of the info. In the middle of their meeting, his secretary notified him about Tracey and insisting on waiting inside his office. He told him to make sure that he won't see her face anymore.

After their meeting that shortened to one and a half hours, he went back to his office finding her on the sofa, sleeping with a blanket. He picked all of the papers and put them on a leather briefcase.

He went to his desk and fixed the papers first and put highly confidential funds on the vault. He glanced at her, sleeping like a baby. All of her suffering these years was because he didn't protect her.

Back in those days that they first met was the most magical moment he ever had with her.

It was the last day of summer when they bump into each other on the dock and she slipped off, he had reached her yet they both fell on the water. Just when their heads popped out from the water and their eyes met for the first time… she was like a Goddess of the water. He reached her and asked her if she's okay. She nodded with a smile.

They reach the ladder and climb up on the dock.

"Their resto here is great, do you mind having dinner with me?" she was dazzled for a while, her shirt is soaked where it molds her beautiful curves and the red bikini that she's wearing under. "I mean, I don't have anyone to accompany me…"

"Sure, I will." She smiled. He smiled in megawatts.

"Great. I'm Alessandro."

"Keira. Is it fine if I call you Alex?"

"Yeah. I like your name by the way."

Their second encounter was the morning after. It seemed like fate had destined them to be together. He was new in the school and sat next to each other. He admired her from head to toe and not long after when he courted her after befriending her.

Their first kiss was very sensational for the first time. He had few girls around him and had kissed them and wanted to instantly throw theirs-elves to him. But never did they make him aroused like he did at that moment. It was full of sparks and so memorable.

There are lots of challenges to them. She was bullied because girls are insecure about her. Seeing that scene that popular girls pick up on her makes his heartache. He stood on her and glared at those mean girls.

"If one of you bullies her again, you'll have to go through me. I'll make you suffer." He threatened. Keira would pull him and tell him that it's enough and just ignored them.

They both would go to the study hall than to field and flirt as others do. She's been working too hard because her father had given her riddles and other business cases. He learned a lot from her. He even managed to tell his father that he's willing to start studying business cases and study with her.

"Don't you feel bored that we always study together like this?" she suddenly asked. He simply shook his head.

"I won't get bored with you around me." She flushed and bit her lower lip. She crawled closer to him and kissed his cheek. He pouted. "Just cheeks?"

"You are now demanding?" She sneered. He tittered and caressed her hair.

"Okay, we'll save it for later." He never initiated for both of them to get intimate with each other. Because he wanted to save it for their wedding or when they get to college or get older. "How about a dinner with your parents?"

"I think dad will come home late, again."

"It's okay. I'll join you and mom since I am living alone." She smiled excitedly and reached for her phone to call her mom about him eating dinner with them.

He woke her up with warm kisses. She opened her eyes and rubbed it, looking around. He kissed her lips and hugged her tightly. She was puzzled for a while and had hugged him back without her knowing. He might not know what he's feeling at that moment but he was so grateful that she's back in his arms.

"Are we going to leave now?" She asked.

"Yeah."

They reach home and he didn't think twice about stripping her clothes off and his without even reaching their bedroom. She was into him and the energy that she reserved for this is worth it. Tomorrow, she will be working alongside him. They are resting while watching some financial news.

"I'll take a shower." She murmured.

"I'll accompany you then."

"Are we—just going to bathe or more than that?" she asked wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her toward the bathroom.

"Baby, I am afraid that we'll do more than just bathing." He smirked at her.
