The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 83 - Margarettes Crime

Chapter 83 - Margarette's Crime

She never expected to receive such injury from Anthony's wife. But she's mad now. She's mad that Anthony couldn't even defend her. She was outraged after Gena left and their neighbor was laughing at them. Anthony was pacing back and forth in his suit while she's busy drinking her wine while wearing her Chanel dress and shoes.

"Just go after her," Margarette said and waved him off.

Anthony was about to leave when the doorbell was ringing. He opened it and was surprised at the police. They lifted the paper from him.

"This is an arrest warrant." They entered as Anthony was pushed on the corner frozen. Margarette was confused as she stood.

"Margarette Berto, we are arresting you for the murder of Fana Grayson-De Alegre and her bodyguard Ren ."

Margarette's face looked horrified as she shuddered and the wine glass fell from her hand.

"What are you talking about?" She exclaimed to them.

Anthony was also frozen while the police were taking away Margarette.

"Thony!" Margarette called out. "You better help me here!" She growled at him.

Margarette doesn't know what happened. She thought that they already killed the woman. Now she thought about it, what happened to those bastards? This is bad. At the moment, she didn't know what to do as she was put inside a room with a single light on it. She also didn't have her phone. She had to call her men to get her out of here. She's sure that Alex knew something, but how?

The door opened as the investigator sat down in front of her.

"I won't speak until I have my lawyer with me." She said coldly.

"I understand." The investigator said coolly and stood. "But do you know who files charges?"

Margarette was silent for a while and she gritted her teeth.

"Who?"

"Alexander De Alegre."

"But he's my husband."

"There's no law stating that the two of you are married."

"What?" She exclaimed. Just how and why? There must be a foul play here. Or a trap.

"He has lots of evidence, Miss Berto." The investigator smirks.

The couple arrived at the mansion a little late. Keira has been awake and even bought pizza for their meeting later but her husband was sleeping well. It's probably because of the hot climate and headache. She shook him and kissed his delicate lips.

"Hey, lover boy." She smiled at him as he opened his eyes. "We are home."

"That's good." He scooped her face and kissed her lips.

They entered the house as the maids and butlers were lined up while on the front are their parents, Johanna and Conrad. The maids and butlers bowed.

"Welcome home, Sir Alessandro, Ma'am Keira."

Keira smiled as she thanked them. She never expected that they would give them a homecoming surprise like this. Alex and Karmina approached them and hugged them.

"Well, let's go first to your room, relax and change your clothes," Karmina said as she scooped her daughter's cheeks. "Your room is ready. I made it happen right away so both of you could rest well from the stressful things."

"Thanks, mommy. You are the best." Keira hugged her tightly.

At the time that they reached their room, Keira gasped at the beauty. Just how did they make a hole in the other room easily to make a joined room for their bedroom and study?

"Wow." Keira removed her shoes and ran to the big bed that has four post and see-through curtains. She jumped it and sighed. She felt sleepy already.

"Love," Alessandro removed his coat. "Let's take a quick shower so we can get ready for dinner."

"Let's make love." She said as she sat up. He shook his head and pointed to the bathroom. She pouted at him as she dragged her body out of the bed.

Alex already received a call from the police station. He didn't want to go there now. They had a family dinner and he didn't want to see Margarette for a while. He called his lawyer to take care of it. He had to at least stay for dinner since Karmina worked hard for it. The woman looked so tired but it dissipated when she saw Keira and Johanna.

"You should take a break after dinner," Alex told her and patted her arm.

"I will," Karmina said as they waited for Keira and Alessandro. The couple didn't take long in their bedroom and Keira hugged Alex.

"Thanks for the effort."

"It's all good, my dear." Alex patted her head. "We prepare your favorite dinner and you should eat well." Alessandro pulled a chair for Keira as she sat down. Then, Alex sat on the head of the table while Karmina sat beside her daughter.

"Mom, did you work yourself hard again?" Keira asked, worried that her mother wouldn't take it after she received a heart transplant.

"Dear, I am fine. Besides, Alex set up the door yesterday. It's not a big hassle." Karmina smiled.

"Thanks, Mom," Alessandro said.

"The study room is not finished yet," Karmina added as she put food on Keira's plate. "And how're the maids that I sent to your penthouse, Jo?"

"They are good cooks," Johanna said.

"That's good," Karmina said. "I'll visit your penthouse this week to make sure that you are eating well."

Johanna froze as Conrad cleared his throat and glanced at the wine.

"Sure." Johanna smiled and kicked Conrad under the table to make sure that he won't tell them that she's partially alcoholic.

"Well, it seemed like Conrad knows things?" Karmina raised her brows. "You aren't sleeping well, are you?"

"Mom, please don't scold me," Johanna mumbled as Keira snickered.

"I think you should stay with Jo and watch over her than me. I already have a very strict husband."

"Yeah, I should do that." Karmina decided.

Johanna needed to clean up her fridge and remove the beers. Then, the crazy Conrad was biting his lips to avoid laughing. She kicked him again and he cleared his throat. The dinner was fancy and happy. They didn't want to open up anything about Louise Madison.

At the moment, it has been taken care of. They are waiting for the autopsy report that will be released tomorrow and to finish the mausoleum for Louise Madison. They will have her supporters visit it after the funeral. It'll be guarded 24-7 too. Keira wanted it for Louise at least. Although she made mistakes, although she wasn't perfect, Louise was just like other people who committed mistakes. She can't blame her for that.

After their dinner, they went to the porch to have a drink and their dessert. Keira and Alessandro have their own time at the swing that Alex renovated for the couple. It's what his wife would want. The couple looked good while laughing. Alex stood beside Karmina.

"I should go now." He said. "I have to at least see that bitch's face for the last time."

"Way to go!" Karmina cheered up. Alex nodded and left.

Karmina's face turned grim as she thought about Margarette killing their family friend. Fana was a very kind woman. She wasn't that close to her but she met her and they even participated in a few organizations. Back when Henry's company was rising while working hard, Henry was also helping Alexander and he easily saved their family company from being bankrupt. She spent her time taking care of her baby and setting up a few foundations. Their babies were playmates and they both thought that the two could be lovers.

But because of the big gap between them, Fana was busy helping her husband. It's hard for them to see each other again or get their children to meet each other. She just felt so bad that Fana couldn't see this happiness that she's seeing right now. Keira and Alessandro, their babies were together. They loved each other and more. She wished to see Margarette too, rotting in jail for what she had done to Fana. Margarette took Alex and Alessandro's happiness. She should see her. She decided. So, she turned to Johanna.

"Dear, you have to rest well. Okay?" Karmina kissed Johanna's forehead. "Tell Keira that I'll leave with Alex for a while."

"Okay. Take care." Johanna nodded as Karmina followed Alex.

"Alex." She called as Alex turned to her. "I'm coming with you."

"Are you sure?" Alex creased his brows. "You are already tired, Mina."

"Fana is my friend and I wanted to see Margarette for the first time."

"Okay. We won't take long then."

She changed her clothes into something decent. Then, she took her purse and went downstairs.

"Mom, where are you going?" Keira frowned.

"I'm visiting someone with Alex."

"Oh," Keira nodded. "Then, we will sleep now." She kissed her mother and Alessandro did the same.

At the time that Karmina and Alex reached the police station. She watched her behind the audio room while watching Margarette suffering in frustration. Alex entered the room and Margarette quickly stood and looked at him, pleading. Alex approached her and smirked.

"Your men, the people who you paid to kill my wife and her bodyguard, already confessed, Margarette."

"That's absurd! I didn't kill your wife!" Margarette denied.

"You approached me before my wife's murder. You approached me and seduced me, Margarette. Do you think I didn't know about it? That's why I avoid you." Alex scooped her jaw with one hand and squeezed it. "You'll pay for everything, Margarette." He smirked and pushed her.

"You have no proof besides of their lies!" She screamed at him.

Alex smiled at her like a devil.

"You don't know that. Whore."
