《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Although both of them are tired, they still insist on going to Louise's place using the chopper to make it quicker to Louise's house. Seeing Keira who has been anxious all this time made him anxious too. Keira has been shaking after hearing the news from Johanna. A car picked them up from the nearest building and took them to Louise's house. There are still police and investigators around the house and they are currently putting the body inside the ambulance.
Secretary Johanna was also shocked as she spoke to the police. The assistant was traumatized as everyone and three guards were dead. One was hit by a bullet from the head. It was mentioned to be a sniper.
"Jo," Keira called as she approached her secretary. "H~how did this happen?"
"It was planned," Johanna said. "I think there's a traitor who leaked the security system and disabled the alarms." She held on to Keira. "I'm sorry, Keira. I fail you."
"N~no." Keira shook her head as she gritted her teeth. "H~how did she die?"
"She was beaten by a baseball bat." She said. "They hit vital points including her ribs and her arms and~~her face was distorted." Johanna held her mouth to avoid sobbing.
Keira was more infuriated. Baseball bat? She knew well who it was. She looked at the police who are investigating the case. The SOCO and NBI were already investigating it and they will start questioning everyone by tomorrow. She's too tired, but she doesn't want to rest now that she lost one of the best singers of her company under her watch. She failed on giving her the protection that she promised.
Alessandro wrapped Keira in his arms before she broke down again. He saw how her whole body and legs were shaking all this time. He hugged her as she cried in his chest.
"It's my fault." She said softly. "I shouldn't take her back home."
"Hush," He kissed her top head. He knew that it's his fault. The crazy woman was after him. She was too insane to kill everyone that he got closed to.
Suddenly, the words from her back when he was in high school came back to him. The trauma from her words was sick.
"I'll kill every girl who flung their arms into you, Alessandro. I swear even in my death." That's what Wendy cursed to him.

Now, it started to happen again. He just wished that he didn't fall in love with Keira and it led her to danger. But now that Keira was with him, he started getting stronger for facing it. But despair was there when he realized how powerful Wendy was. Even without any concrete evidence. Wendy was the one who planned all of this.
"Jo, one of my bodyguards will escort you," Alessandro told her. "I'll handle everything here."
"Y~Yes, sir."
The bodyguard approached her to drive her back to her house. They aren't just going to set up a funeral for one person, but four. Three guards died and their family will mourn their death. Alessandro promised himself that if ever that there were guards who died under his watch or his wife's watch, he would compensate big.
Their driver started driving them back to the nearest land where they parked the chopper. He even carried his wife since she's too weak to even move. Her heart and her mind break down when she collapses. Alessandro's heart couldn't take the pain that he's seeing from her. Although his eyes started becoming cloudy, he didn't let any tear betray him. He has to comfort his wife.
When they reached the villa, Karmina and Alex looked worried. Keira gains consciousness and she only stares at the space. Karmina prepared light foods and drinks and he forced Keira to drink even a little to replace the tears.
"You have to stay strong, my Queen," Alessandro said softly. "It's my fault. I was the one that she's after."
"No, she's really after me." She chuckled and sipped on her water. "She won't kill me twice. I will just have to keep making her angry and disappointed in herself."
"Keira, let me handle it." He said softly.
"No!" She raised her voice as she looked at him sharply. "I am not losing you, or mom or dad! Her threats were nothing to me now. I am more mature than before and I will make sure that she'll stay behind the bars forever."
"Then, stay strong and stay healthy for us," Alex said. "I will also keep my promise to protect the three of you."
"We'll protect each other." Karmina agreed. "So now, my princess." She sat next to Keira and hugged her waist as she leaned her head to her shoulder. "You have to stay strong and don't give up."

"Yes, mom."
Keira didn't even eat anything as she only drank water or the smoothie that her mother made. All of them couldn't sleep. He knew that in the morning it'll be all over the news. Her husband was worried about her health and her head was aching so much. He had to give her medicine and one pill didn't make the pain go away. That's why he asked her doctor if she could take another.
Now, she's sleeping soundly from all of the stress and pain that she received this day. He was worried, too worried that even his head started aching. He slipped off from the bed and went downstairs. He noticed Karmina and Alex in the family room. They turned their heads to him.
"Couldn't sleep?" Karmina asked. He approached them and sat with them.
"Yes. Keira just fell asleep."
"It's Sunday and the two of you could rest more. I already spoke to the Chief who was handling the case and gave him the information. I haven't directly told them who it was. It should be a puzzle for them first. If we were direct, they would suspect us." Karmina said.
"The Chief?" He asked.
"Yes, Keira's godfather. The one whom my husband spoke to when Keira started receiving threats. He's been transferred to the bigger city that's why the case was transferred to someone else.." She explained shortly.
"What should we do?" Alessandro asked. "She's a powerful woman after all."
"Then, what makes the two of you?" She smiled. "My daughter is already rich and powerful as well without her father and you also have lots of connections."
"My connection would be lacking if Wendy had almost the same resources as I have," Alessandro mumbled.
"Stop thinking for a while," Alex said. "Go and rest. You need it more for the following days to protect your wife."
"I will." He went to the kitchen and fetched a few drinks to put in their mini-fridge to their room.
When he reached their room, his wife was moaning painfully. He quickly put away the tray and approached the bed. He sat beside her and caressed her hair. She was sweating cold and looked in pain.
"Keira," He called as he reached both of her hands. "Love…" His heart was squeezing hard, it felt like torture seeing his wife like this. "Keira." He called again and she opened her eyes as she panted. He gently pulled her up to sit up and kissed her forehead. "You only slept for an hour."
"You are here." She mumbled as she hugged him and started crying hysterically. "I thought I lost you…" She cried.
"You didn't." He delicately kissed her forehead and wiped her tears. "I brought milk tea with me. Do you want some?"
She stopped crying and nodded.
"It's not cold yet." He wiped her tears and kissed her nose. "And you won't lose me." He smiled at her.
He took other pillows and placed them at her back.
He went to the table and took two bottles of milk tea and put it on two goblets. He approached her and gave it to her. He sat beside her on her left and put his arms around her.
"We both feel hopeless." He sighed. "But we have each other and we have loving parents. We can do this together."
She nodded her head heartily and leaned on him. She sipped on the processed milk tea that was like soda and hummed on it.
"I want to have this in my office."
"Too much sugar is bad for you, baby." He rubbed her tummy. "We have to make babies by next year."
"Sugar can boost me up." She giggled and sipped on her milk tea again. "I want it cold."
"No." He shook her head. "It's bad for your health."
She pouted at him.
"It'll ruin your beautiful voice."
"Hmm," She pouted at him. "If you love me you'll do it." She acted childishly.
"I love you, that's because I'm protecting you."
"Simple ice won't hurt me." She convinced him. He had no choice but to take her goblet as he went to the fridge and took out the ice cubs. He approached her while shaking his head.
She smiled beautifully despite the nightmares that she had a while ago. She doesn't feel hopeless anymore after all of the tragedy that happened this day. As long as her husband is with her, she won't feel hopeless and she will face everything to protect her family.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com
