The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 214 - Antidote

Chapter 214 - Antidote

Maxine slowly opened her eyes when her alarm started ringing. She felt like not going to work anymore. After the oral sex that they did last night, she's surely drained. What more if they would do it? She had never seen such a big man in her entire life. She sat up and turned off the alarm and she kissed Terrence's cheeks. She went to the bathroom to do her business and washed her face, then she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them.

"Max," She turned slowly to Violet who was wearing a dress and seemed to be ready to go. "I'm going to leave early."

"How about breakfast?" Maxine asked. "Wait, let me prepare something for you fast."

"Sure. I still have to check the materials. Thanks, Max."

"Sure thing." She smiled and took out the sandwich. She even sliced fruits quickly and packed them for Violet.

She even prepares smoothies for her with oats. She then cooked the sunny side up on the pans.

Before she noticed it, Violet approached her and took the sandwich that Maxine made, and started munching on it.

"So, did Terrence tell you?"

"About what?" Maxine asked and glanced at her.

"About my plan?" Violet said and watched her expression while Maxine was taking out the eggs to the serving plate.

"Yes. I am willing to help." Maxine smiled.

"We are assassins, Maxi," Violet said that made Maxine stop and nearly dropped the plate.

"W-what?"

"We were from an ex-army and I want you to know that. We were kidnapped and became lab rats for a year. We are assassins by also working for good guys."

"Assassins?" She mumbled.

"You can't tell this to anyone," Violet said which is full of warning.

"I won't." She shook her head. "I would never. I don't want Terrence to get hurt."

"Good," Violet sighed. "I have to save my baby's father or else something bad might happen."

"I understand," Maxine mumbled and she continued with preparing the breakfast.

Shortly, Terrence arrived and he greeted Maxine with a kiss on the lips and he patted Violet's head.

"Shall I bring those things to your car?" Terrence asked Violet who smiled and bounced her head.

"Yes please."

After Terrence left, Violet observed Maxine's facial expression. She looked bothered by what she told him. She's aware that she's becoming a jerk toward Maxine but she has to at least know about their job. Since she chose Bull over her freedom outside, Violet wanted to give Maxine a heads-up about their situation. That they would never be safe any time.

"Are you alright? Did I scare you?" Violet asked. Maxine shook her head as she stopped chopping the bacon. She faced Violet.

"I know that you care for our safety and I understand that truth. You scared me a little but you only want me to be aware."

"I know that we will get well. You can easily understand my words. That's why I trust you, Maxine."

Three Hours Later

After checking the new formula that she made and checking it with Johanna's DNA, she was satisfied a little. Johanna's DNA was very much unique. The antidote that she made slowly ate out the DNA that was mixed into her blood because of mutation. She gently rubbed her stomach and sighed.

"Baby's hungry." She mumbled and went to the fridge. She suddenly heard the door open and she quickly reached for her gun but to his surprise, Ian came with a lot of drinks and snacks. "You are just right in time," Violet said as Ian put it on the clean table where Violet usually eats.

"What's the status?" Ian asked as he started taking out the snacks that he bought along the way. She quickly took the subway sandwich and opened it. She took a bite and chewed it carefully with a pleasurable sigh.

"This sandwich is good. My baby will surely be content with this."

"Help yourself," Ian said. "Did you already resign?"

"I'm on sick leave. Tomorrow is my resignation."

"Oh, okay." Ian nodded his head.

"Where's Tracey?"

"Leon was with her. They are currently in their family company building for some corporate meeting." Ian put a few stocks in the fridge. "So, are you staying here for long?"

"No. I am going to prepare a safe house for my baby."

Ian frowned at her as he crossed his arms.

"Are you going to leave your baby?"

"I am not leaving my baby. I'm just having someone to take care of it while I rescue my baby's father." She said and reached the cola that he bought. "Also, you have to help me with that. You owe me a lot after our break up thirteen years ago."

Ian laughed so loud and he held on to the fridge.

"Alright, fair enough."

"I demand a good house for my baby and lots of cash for Maxine."

"Maxine," He titled his head as he thought about who Maxine was. "Oh," He snapped his fingers when he realized that it was Maxine that Bull had a relationship with. "Okay."

Ian has so much to do with Tracey but he can't say no to the pregnant lady's requests. Besides, he owes her a lot because of what he did but it was already forgiven and he will do everything for Violet as a friend and ex-lover.

"By the way, I have to give you something for safekeeping."

"Okay," he nodded his head. "What is it?"

"My first phase of the antidote. It happened to kill a few of the mutated cells from Jo."

"That's nice. Can we cure Johanna of her traumas?"

"No. We can't do that. We need Johanna's skill to end before any more innocent people die."

"Poor, Jo." He grumbled. "Okay, I will set up a safe house for your baby and Maxine. I think she should go with you too baby seminars? What do you think?"

"She's working." She said and shrugged. "Maybe I'll set it up on Sunday and steal their data."

"I will prepare a top security house for them. With playgrounds and toys."

She didn't want to leave her baby after she gave birth. She might be anxious all the time but she has to save Victor. Because Victor is alive and needs their help. She promised to save him and that they would get married and so she will keep her promise even though she has to sacrifice not seeing her baby for their baby's safety.

After eating her snack, she took Ian to her laboratory and took the vial and a few copies of the notes.

"This is classified," Violet said. "You can't even tell a ghost." She put it on the briefcase with a lock and Ian's fingerprint.

"This is not entirely the antidote that we need. We need Victor's blood."

"Got it." He exhaled slowly. They need a few more weeks before they will have Victor's blood. He's sure that Wendy can't wait for her revenge toward Tracey. He somehow regrets that he made Tracey their bait. She doesn't deserve it. That's why he's trying everything to keep her out of Wendy's sight. "I will be leaving then." He turned back but then, he stopped and turned around to her. "How about Leon? Aren't you going to keep him by your side for a while? You need someone to help you with this research. He's also a doctor."

"Yes," She sighed. "I can't trust a lot of people right now. Although Harvey knew that I was doing this research after he deliberately sent us to Victor's old cabin, I still can't trust anyone."

"I understand." He patted her head. "I will do everything to help. For now, give me a little break. Okay?" He grinned.

"Sure thing, Gian. Go and enjoy it with your girlfriend. You deserve it."

"Thank you, Vi."

Violet watched him leave. She went to the sofa and sat down. She gently rubbed her round belly and pursed her lips.

"Baby, I'm sorry that Mama has to do this. But I have to save your daddy."

She was in deep thought. Although she has the first phase of the antidote. She still needs to figure out how to completely take the drug out of his body. She's sure that there might be almost the same drug that was injected into him when his parents trained him to be a killing machine. She reached the journal that she took from the cabin and continued reading it. She also treasures Vincent's old photos and there's a baby photo of Hannah Grace. She somehow can't give it to Johanna. She wanted to be selfish at this moment.

Violet loved him so much although Ian was her first love. The reason why Violet loves him is that he fights for her. He never cheated on him and he was truthful. He never gave her any reason to get jealous although there were a lot of women who would gawk at him. It's not just because of those reasons. But Victor also knew that she slept with Ian after their first break-up. She was vulnerable at that moment and he accepted it and still loves her. He never treated her indifferently even though she had slept with her ex. He respects her.

"I will give you a beautiful life, Victor." She whispered as she caressed Victor's face in that old photo.
