《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
It shook in every website that Louise Madison died not because of any sickness or suicide. She was killed. Everyone was commenting on why she was killed and the haters commented harsh words toward Louise Madison. Suddenly, knowing that Alessandro was married, there were lots of bashers toward Keira. Saying that she's the one who killed Louise Madison and the police confirmed that she wasn't the killer. But social media was like a storm surge.
Keira looked at Johanna who seemed to be restless. She was restless too and she had nightmares in her sleep.
"Madam, are you sure about this?" Johanna asked.
The hateful words toward Alessandro's wife increased and it was all over other social media and websites. But few networks that are always true to the viewers didn't make harsh words. Now, it seemed like Alessandro was also in rage. But it's her fight and she didn't want him to hold any conference.
Headlines: Alessandro's wife is the Killer?
Psychopath wife, killed the mistress?
"After the conference, we'll relax a bit to get ready on Louise's album."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"We shouldn't care what people say but the Golden Age will always protect our artists and our reputation," Keira said as she stared at the skyscraper from her office. "It's time that I make a move. Our opponent has a powerful background."
"Madam, who was it?" Johanna asked. "You never mentioned her to me."
"It's Wendy." She turned to her and smiled. "After I recover my memories, I also lost my memories of you and a few pieces. You are my sister, Jo."
Johanna nodded.
"Back when you were in a coma. Mom said that it wasn't an accident." Johanna said as she tried hard not to remember those painful times as she watched Karmina cry.
"She's right. I have been receiving death threats after that woman found out that I was dating Alessandro. Mom, get rid of a few of it after reporting it to the police so I won't see it." Keira looked at Louise's photo with other artists. "That woman is a lunatic and her family background is powerful. She's Alessandro's ex-girlfriend."
Johanna was surprised.
"I heard that she also made a girl who flirted with Alessandro limp back in high school and threaten a few more girls." Keira's face darkened. "I spoke to Alessandro's first girlfriend when I was dating him. She mentioned to me to be careful. She seemed to be terrified that after she spoke to me, she fled to London to continue her study. I wonder what that woman would look like back then. But when I finally met her, an angelic face with grace and talent was a facade. She's like an incarnation of a devil."

The way Keira spoke about it made Johanna shiver. Just how scary the woman was? And Keira even mentioned that she's an incarnation of a devil. Then it means that the woman was a complete psychopath.
A knock on the door made the two of them stop their conversation and looked at the person who entered.
"Madam, Tracey De Novo is downstairs. She asked for you." Vanessa, the assistant informed.
Keira didn't know why Tracey was visiting her and how she found out about her location. She nodded at Vanessa and after a few moments, Johanna let Tracey enter the room as she left them. She seemed to be restless and sleepless.
"Miss De Novo, please have a seat." Keira gestured to the sofa. Tracey sat down gracefully and stared at her for a while. "Do you want any drinks?" Keira asked as she stood and went to the big fridge that was full of drinks. When Tracey didn't answer, Kiera took a diet soda, milk tea, and ice tea. She put it in front of Tracey and she sat down.
"I'm sorry," Tracey mumbled. "Alessandro was single for years and I never saw him mingle with anyone. I asked my parents to arrange a marriage for us." She looked up at Keira who was willing to listen. "I had loved him ever since I was a kid. He's the only boy who makes my heart race. I told myself that he's the one that I'll marry. Then, I found out that he got a girlfriend and after another, while I was in Italy. But then, he seemed to break up with them, so I made my move."
"Alright," Keira shrugged. "I don't blame you at all. You don't know that I was engaged with Alessandro."
"Uncle Alex said that you were engaged since eighteen. I was mean to you and to any girl who clung to Alessandro." Tracey sighed. "I let Margarette's words into me as she claimed that Alessandro liked me too. Then, I realized that it was for the sake of business. I'm sorry that my father has to kidnap you. I don't want it to happen."
"Don't worry," Keira waved it off. "But how do you know that I am here?"
"I asked Uncle Alex. And I realized that you are Del Carlo, the daughter of the founder of the Golden Age." There's a long silence between them as Tracey looks up at her directly. "I just came to apologize."
"Hmm," Keira nodded as she crossed her arms. "But you have to stay away from Alessandro. Even at this moment, don't speak to him."

Tracey's hand clutches her purse.
"I am telling you this to warn you. It's for your safety too." Keira said, calmly. She didn't want to make Tracey think that she's threatening her.
"I~I heard Uncle Alex mentioned it to my mother."
"You are right," Keira nodded as she pointed to the television that's playing live and in the low sound volume. "Death of Louise Madison, one of my artists. She received death threats after the photo of her and Ales leaked. I tried hard to protect her and keep her away until we caught the culprit, but she was murdered in her house."
Tracey shuddered from Keira's words.
"Mu~Murdered?"
"Yes," Keira nodded. "I received death threats too at my teenage. Alessandro was my boyfriend at that time. Then, I almost died because of that psychopath who was obsessed with my husband. She was also there at that surprise engagement party. I'm telling you this to warn you, Tracey. I don't mean to offend you. I'm telling the truth."
"Then, why is everyone blaming you? You are his wife."
"That woman is powerful enough to leak such things." Keira shrugged. "Perhaps, do you have a bodyguard with you?"
Tracey shook her head.
"My flight is in an hour. I'm leaving the country."
"That's a good choice." Keira stood. "My secretary will escort you outside."
Tracey stood as Keira escorted her outside her office. Johanna approached them and what she didn't expect was to be escorted personally by the secretary and a bodyguard. She never thought that Keira was that kind.
After Keira sent her off, she meditated waiting for the time of the conference. It didn't take long when Johanna arrived with her bodyguard. She stood quickly and nodded at her. It's time to face everyone.
She met her husband in the other room of the conference room. He seemed to be worried that he canceled a few appointments just to be with her.
"Don't worry about me." She giggled after seeing her husband's worried grim face. She scooped his face and kept kissing it and finally, his lips. "I'll take care of it."
"If you don't, I'll take care of all of those bastards." He said coldly. She smiled and kissed his nose.
"I'll go now."
Johanna and Conrad followed her to the conference room. Everyone flashes their cameras at Johanna and then they were also surprised to see her there. Johanna stood behind Keira as Keira sat on the podium and faced them.
"I'm Keira Del Carlo, Chairman of the Golden Age Entertainment." She introduced herself as everyone seemed to be silent. "As you all know, our artist died two days ago. I am here to make an announcement and to clear things to everyone."
"Miss Chairwoman, aren't you Mr. Alessandro De Alegre's wife?" One of the journalists asked.
"Yes, I am." She answered as they started murmuring and they started typing fast on their computer. "But I am not here as my husband's wife. I am here to tell everyone about Louise Madison's case. We already participated in NBI ever since she was receiving death threats. We did everything to protect her." She paused as she recalled how hard Louise tried to change. "I know that all of you would hate her for claiming herself as Alessandro's girlfriend. But those are just some rumors. Louise tried hard to change for the sake of her music. For weeks, I hid her and made sure that she's safe. But I failed."
It's hard for her to say this but she has to. She has to be strong for Louise and the sake of the company. They started raising questions, random questions.
"Did you kill Louise Madison?" One of the journalists asked but she brushed it off and one stood.
"Miss Del Carlo, what would you say about these articles that leaked? They claimed that you killed Louise Madison."
"We already traced the writer and the publisher of the article and my lawyers will handle it. This is defamation toward me and Louise Madison. It's not true that I killed Louise Madison." She said it straightforwardly. "It's true that people might think that there's bad blood between us. But, both of us remained professional. We also have our mistakes and Louise is a normal person that could make mistakes and I do too." She said softly.
"For her days in an isolated area, she wrote songs and recorded what she wanted for her comeback album. We are all supportive of her and I will do everything to protect her reputation although I failed to protect her." She clenched her jaw as she tried hard not to shed tears in front of them. "I, Keira Del Carlo swear in this very day to hunt down Louise Madison's killer."
