The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 399 - The Truth

Just in a few days, a hard drive was sent to the Charles Empire. The old man was still mourning the death of his granddaughter. Of all of the children, she was the one he loved and dotted most. Although Wendy was too much to handle. Klaus knew well that Wendy is his daughter although they put up that Wendy was his son's daughter.

"Grandpa," Kennedy approached him with his hot tea. "Get well soon." He mumbled. "I will handle that drive. You don't have to see it."

"I want to." He said. "I want to make sure that they didn't do anything else to Wendy. I hope that she died fast and without pain. She already struggled so much."

Ken sighed and shook his head.

"Grandpa, you can't." He took the box. "I will head to my office now." He said and left the old man.

He gave the box to his secretary as the female secretary connected it to the big screen. He sat down and waited for it. He frowned seeing a glass room. Wendy was wearing a white dress and they made her dance. But when she didn't want to, she was electrified. Ken creased his brows as it continued. Wendy was dancing in humiliation and he moved it from another set into another. They were increasing the temperature in her room and she's like a dog.

The voice was unfamiliar from the background but the laugh was devious enough.

"Wendy, dear. If you don't dance your room will be colder than before." The woman said in the background.

He gritted his teeth as he fasted forward. Wendy was sleeping on a thin blanket and they are torturing her further. It was gruesome but not that gruesome like they did to most people who betray them. But then, there's a video of her confessing about the people she killed. She tells every word on how she kills them. She said that her grandfather would clean it up for her. But one thing she regretted not doing well was killing Keira Del Carlo.

"I am glad that I killed her." She laughed with those wide crazy eyes. She looked so happy that she killed Keira.

"But you also killed Alessandro. You are the reason why he died. You killed him."

"No! I only want to marry him!" She screamed at the woman.

"Yes, and it kills him."

She looked frantic and she started screaming and crying.

Kennedy shook his head and then, the crazy psychiatrist just entered and slouched. He sat down with popcorn and watched it further.

"She looked depressed. It is one of their tactics to torture her mentally. She will kill herself."

Kennedy reached the remote and moved it to the end of the footage. Wendy looked like she was not herself and she was weeping. She mumbled Alessandro's name. Then, she took the poison and drank it. After a few minutes, her eyes dilated as she looked up.

"S-Sandro!"

Kennedy and Doctor Gray looked at each other.

"What the fuck?" Doctor Gray exclaimed. "Check the date!"

He checked the date of the footage and it was five days ago. He exclaimed exasperatedly. He stood and started pacing back and forth.

"Let me have that. Why won't you check on the corpse that was given to you?"

"It is her. It is my sister's corpse. It said to her DNA."

"Oh, wow." Doctor Gray scoffed and shook his head. "I don't have an idea. But something is not right here. It could be her corpse and not her corpse at the same time." He stood and took the drive. "Let me have that drive. I will watch it from the start to the end."

Ken was completely puzzled. But where is Wendy's real corpse? His grandfather can't see it.

Doctor Gray went to his room to watch it. He focused on the clips and then, just before the end. Wendy was being beaten by a sexy woman. But he noticed that she wasn't using a lot of force and just swung it normally. He smirked when the woman was too seductive even when she was dangerous. "She's beautiful as fuck." That's what Gray mutters to his mouth.

He believed that the woman was something else. He quickly took out the documents and saw her profile. She's a low-profile secretary of Keira Del Carlo. Suddenly, she became the CEO of the Golden Age. She raised the rating by another twenty percent in just a month. He could say that she's a genius. A genius with a beautiful gene. From face, to physical and to sexual attraction. She's interesting.

"But where is her corpse?" He mumbled. He watched it for hours and finally at the end, he watched as they froze Wendy's body and put her inside a big freezer. He sighed. They can't retrieve Wendy's real corpse and it is alright. They shouldn't tell the old man. He's too fragile since he loved Wendy too much.

He quickly turned off the television when someone knocked. Then, the door opened as the old man entered in his wheelchair, his nurse was beside him.

"Gray,"

"Yes, boss?" He stood to greet the old man.

"Tell me. What's in that drive?" The old man commanded.

It was after six when she just got off from work. She needs to finish one last paper but she's sure that she won't be able to get late for the seven-thirty dinner.

She went to her house first to prepare for a grand dinner. She went to her room and froze when a handsome man was on her bed and had flowers covering his front part. She slammed the door before anyone could see it. She flushed in embarrassment.

"What the hell, Ace?" She put her purse on the side table and glared at him.

"What?" He grinned. "Come on, baby. Suck me."

"No." She exclaimed at him. "I have to get ready for dinner."

"The dinner was only for excuses." He sighed. "I told Ian to call you."

She walked past the bed to the bathroom. She was also surprised that the bathtub was ready and steaming. She undresses and soaks her body in the bathtub. Shortly, Ace joined her and hugged her tightly.

"What's up?" He asked and kissed her cheeks.

"I'm tired." She said, "I am still adjusting to how to handle them. Although we already have a meet and greet party." She sighed.

"My poor girl." He scooped her breasts, fondled his hands on her full beauties and his lips were planted on every inch of her shoulders up to her neck. "Don't worry. I got a surprise for you."

"Maybe after dinner with the majesties."

"Fine with me. But are you sure that you want to delay it?"

"I'm sure."

He was a little disappointed by her choice. But anyway, he will give her heaven soon enough. They kissed and made love in the bathtub. He relaxed on the bed while she got ready and checked on her dresses. She smiled when he picked up something for her.

"Already had someone to dry clean that." He winked.

"Fine, put something on. We can't be late."

He lazily stood, naked and proud. Then, he took out the clothes that he picked up for himself. It was half formal and half casual. He fixed his hair and let his beautiful girlfriend put some cream and powder on his face.

"Great, let's go." She said after she was done. Their car was already waiting outside since it was one kilometer away from the main castle. They were greeted by the staff and escorted to where the dinner will be held.

His phone kept on vibrating. He wanted to focus on his girlfriend and thought that it wasn't a red alert. His phone would wail if it was a red alert.

"Aren't you going to check on that?" She asked.

"Nope. Later." He said as they entered the hall. Ian just arrived looking too tired.

"What happened?" Ace asked as they followed Butler.

"Some girl kept on chasing me. I don't know her problem at all."

"That's a red flag. Who?"

"Danica Lefebure."

Guinevere creased her brows and looked at her boyfriend.

"I'm tired." He complained. "Mentally!"

They waited for the King and Queen while Ian went to the powder room to wash his hands. Then, he sat down even though the King and Queen hadn't arrived yet. He looked completely tired. When they arrived, he didn't notice them but then, Karmina placed her hand over his head.

"Do you want a massage tonight? Should I call you a masseur?"

"No. I'm fine. I am just mentally tired. She even sent flowers to me. I don't want to be like Alessandro who has a crazy-crazy woman obsessing over him!"

"It's in our blood." Henry laughed as he pulled a chair for Karmina. "Sit down, you two." He told the couple.

Ace quickly pulled a chair for her and he couldn't wait but checked his phone. He frowned and scrolled through it. Karmina sat down.

"Uhm, guys. I think the Charles Empire raises their threat."

"Oh," Karmina wasn't surprised. "I am sure that they already received the drive."

Ace blinked his eyes.

"The reason is, I want to torture their mind. They will do something unexpected—yet expected." She smirked. "Let's have our appetizer, please." She told the staff.

"So," Ace stared at the Queen. "So, they are going to attack anytime soon."

"We plan." Ian said. "Sorry to tell you."

"Damn,"

"Let Connor handle your team. He's already doing it." Ian said.

"Well," He slid his phone back into his pocket and shrugged. "I will enjoy my honeymoon then."

"What honeymoon?" Guinevere frowned at him.
