Keira thought that lovemaking would make her feel sleepy. Her husband even used a condom so she didn't have to wash up after sex. But she couldn't sleep at all. Her husband was too tired from everything and now sleeping peacefully beside her. She slipped off from bed, put her robe on, and went to their walk-in closet. It's full and it was arranged perfectly to her liking.
Since she couldn't sleep, she started preparing the clothes that they should wear and she chose a signature bag from Lawson company. It'll match her outfit. Since she's matching her outfit, she also set up a suit that would be perfect for her outfit. She then turned and looked at the black dress that she will wear for Louise's funeral. Tomorrow will be the result of the autopsy but it was clear enough to be a murder.
"Love," Alessandro called. She went to the door and looked at her husband.
"Hey, go back to sleep. I'm just preparing our clothes for tomorrow." She smiled at him.
"Are you that too excited to rummage to our closet?" Alessandro turned on the lamp.
"Yeah," She giggled. He slipped off from the bed and approached her naked. She pulled him inside and kissed him passionately.
"What's the reason why you can't sleep?" He asked and kissed her forehead.
Alessandro could read her easily. That's why she loved him. But she loves him not because of those reasons. It's also because he's lovable, he's caring, he's kind and sexy. She won't leave out those words. Sexy and handsome.
"Because you are too handsome."
He snorted and kissed her lips. He didn't mention anything about Louise Madison. But after the autopsy report, they will have to go on with Louise's album and investigation at the same time. Alessandro was always caring like this. He didn't mess up in her head. He was always direct and truthful to her. He could never lie because she always could detect his lies.
"How about I'll make a fruit smoothie with milk that would be good for our sleep?"
"That would be great." She kissed his lips. "So," She pointed to his suit. "How about that?"
"It looks perfect." He smiled at her and kissed her cheeks. He reached for his boxer shorts and pair of silk pajamas and put them on. She grinned and smacked his full butt. "I'll get back to you later." He winked at her as she laughed.
He went to the kitchen and heard the door. He went to the foyer first and saw Karmina and Alex talking about Margarette. Then, Karmina said her goodnight as she went upstairs.
"Dad, where did you go?" Alessandro asked.
Alex smiled at him.
"To the Police station," Alex answered as he took a few steps closer to him.
"Why?" Alessandro tilted his head.
"Let's go upstairs. I have something to show you."
Alessandro nodded as he followed his father to the master's bedroom. Oddly, it looked like nothing changed. There are still traces that his father was never over her mother. Alessandro closed the door. Then, Alex went to the bathroom and left it open.
"Do you want me to scrub your back?" Alessandro asked as he followed him. Alex only laughed and went to the shower. He opened something there and he followed him. "When did you install that?" Alessandro was confused.
"Before I took Margarette in this house. I have to send you out." Alex said.
He followed her inside the hidden room downstairs. He was puzzled at the portraits of her mother and their family photos. Then, the capsule. A woman is lying there. Alessandro was frozen as he looked at her mother sleeping peacefully. Alex put his hand over the glass of the capsule.
"I promised your mom to bury her only after I caught the culprit and I did."
"Mom," Alessandro took heavy steps as he stared at his mother's beautiful face. She looked so alive but how did his dad do this?
"Your mom died drastically. I have professionals to keep her like this for years. Frozen. She's my angel and my lucky charm, Sandro."
"I know that it's hard for you," Alessandro said. "I wouldn't survive too if I lost my wife. I might do the same."
"But we have to let go. Right?" Alex put a hand over his shoulder. "Your mom wouldn't want us to stay like this."
"Dad," Alessandro clenched his fist. "Will Margarette rot in jail?"
"I hope so," Alex said. "I'm old, son. I might not protect you and Keira well. You have to protect your wife and your future children from Wendy and from anyone ready to destroy your family."
"I will." Alessandro gritted his teeth. "I won't let her get away. I won't let anyone hurt my wife."
"Well, you can visit your mom here anytime. You can take your wife here too." He took out a key holder. "Here is the key to this room and the access number. I will be busy with renovating a few things around the house."
"I will, dad."
At that time, Alessandro almost forgot the smoothie that made his wife come down and checked on him.
"Don't pout." Alessandro smiled at her while he put the sliced cherry and kiwi on the blender with the fresh milk.
"What took you so long?" She asked as she climbed up on the breakfast stool
"I spoke to dad." He said as he turned on the blender. Keira yawned and watched her sexy husband make their smoothie. She grinned at him and winked. "Stop teasing me." Alessandro chuckled as he shook his head.
"What? I can't tease my sexy husband?"
He turned off the blender and put it on the glasses. He took the stainless straws and put them on the glass and set it up on the tray. She unplugged the blender and followed him to their room.
"You should work out more," Keira said while eyeing his back. She then smacked his butt.
"You little tease." Alessandro sneered.
"You have that adorable butt." She giggled.

She's drinking again and it's already eleven in the evening. Conrad frowned at her while he's busy reviewing the footage.
"I suggest you drink milk rather than beers."
"Mom can't see these. That's why I have to finish it." Johanna said.
"Your mom knew well about you." Conrad shook his head. "Just give me those drinks. I need it more than you do."
"No way!" Johanna scoffed.
"You are your mom's baby shark. Just go on with milk. It's much healthier than beer." Conrad reached the beer from her hand and finished it in one gulp.
"Why are you even here?" She finally asked.
"Don't you want me to accompany you?" He asked as he bent down and put the empty bottle on the coffee table.
"I'm going to sleep." She mumbled as she stood.
"Wait." Conrad reached her hand. "Watch this."
Johanna sat down and moved closer to him. It's Bonnie who was answering a call as she stood near the wall in Louise's Hallway to her room.
"Hello?" Bonnie seemed to be glancing on the stairs. "They reset the code on the security system. It's hard to find it out." Bonnie said softly. "I~I will try." Then, Bonnie went downstairs and Conrad paused it.
"So, our main suspect will be Bonnie." Conrad reached for his phone. "I think that girl has been kidnapped too."
"Why did you think of that?" Johanna asked while watching the handsome man dialing someone on his phone.
"That's because when I went to her house she wasn't there and there were traces of struggle," Conrad said.
"When did you do that?"
"Last night."
Johanna never thought that she would be surprised like this. She thought that the guy was sleeping at that time.
"Oh," Johanna said to express her surprised face, yet it didn't show much.
"You can say 'oh' without many expressions, do you?" Conrad rose her brows.
"What?" Johanna stood and crossed her arms. "How about that girl? The mastermind?"
"She's not in the country anymore."
Johanna pointed to the mess on the table.
"Just clean it up." She told him as she reached her phone and rushed to her room.
Conrad shrugged as he spoke to someone over the phone.
Johanna went to the bathroom to do her business and come out, realizing that she was thinking of her oozing hot bodyguard. Just how his touch caught her attention. There were lots of boys back in America who would reach her hand or most of the time harassed her. None of them give her electricity as Conrad did. Her reflexes would quickly hit any guy who would touch her.
"He's just a bodyguard." She murmured and rushed to her bed and dropped her body. She closed her eyes to sleep but somehow as time passed, she couldn't sleep at all. This is restlessness. Maybe she should practice self-defense every day and hit the gym for thirty minutes. She needed to cut off on drinking, her stomach started becoming bloated. Damn, she just felt restless.
"Jo, are you sleeping?" Conrad knocked on the door. She eyed the door and climbed down from the bed and opened it. "I'm going out. Make sure to lock your door and have your phone beside you."
"Can I come? You won't stay long, right?"
Conrad hesitates for a while.
"I can't sleep." She reasoned.
"Okay." He bounced her head.
