《The Billionaire’s Kept Woman》The Billionaire's Kept Woman
Advertisement
The time that Keira entered her office after her workout made her suddenly feel a bad eerie. She entered her walk-in closet and was about to strip when suddenly, she saw a man wearing black clothes from head to toe. She was about to scream but he was quick as he covered her mouth.
"Baby girl, it's me." The baritone voice sent shivers down her spine. But she didn't recognize the voice. "Calm down." He said softly and she calmed down. He released her and she faced him. She was dazed for a while as she stared at him. Her eyes started swelling as her tears rolled down. "You are breaking my heart." He chuckled and wiped her tears.
"I thought you were dead." She started sobbing but he kissed her forehead and hugged her.
"I am not. I only do it to keep you safe." He kissed her both cheeks and patted her head. "Baby girl, seeing you safe like this is enough."
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"I've been away." He kissed her nose. "You are so adorable, baby girl."
She sniffled and pushed him away.
"What's the reason why you showed up now? Harvey?" She crossed her arms.
"Well, it's because your life is in danger. You see, I was an assassin back then and now working for the Dragon Empire."
"You what?" She nearly screamed but he covered her mouth.
"Now, baby sis. Don't just blurt it out." He sighed. "Klaus Charles wanted you dead."
She pushed his big hand.
"It's fine. As long as he won't touch my husband." She said coldly.
"Well, you don't understand." Harvey rolled his eyes.
"I understand it well. They want me dead and take my husband away to give it to that psychopath who nearly killed me." She hissed.
"He hired me to kill you but I declined it." He pinched both of her cheeks. "You become more adorable and fat."
She winched and punched his chest. Harvey was her brother but he was carried by another woman with her mom and dad's DNA. Henry, her father hid him since he was supposed to be the heir of the Empire. However, Harvey saw her one last time and that was ten years ago. He said that he didn't want the Empire and left after he learned that he wasn't Karmina's son. But Karmina didn't love him less and Henry let him go and support him secretly.
Then, suddenly, Henry said that he died and it broke down her mother. She didn't understand it for a while but as she grew up, she realized that Harvey wasn't with them anymore and she missed him. But Johanna was there to comfort her too.

Harvey becomes the hidden son of their father. The surrogacy wasn't a failure, but her mother's egg failed. So, the surrogate mother was the one who had it while she was their miracle baby and she grew up full of love from them and from the big brother who was always away.
"I miss you," Keira said softly. Harvey pouted and nodded at her.
"I miss you too. You looked like mom." He said softly.
"Why won't you show up to her?"
He shook his head.
"Don't tell anyone about my existence. I am only here to protect you." He hugged her again. "I miss my baby girl."
"I miss my big bro." She cried.
"You should take a bath now you smell bad." He teased as she frowned. "I have to leave." He patted her head.
"Just how did you enter?"
"I use the secret room." He grinned at her. "I know lots more things in this building than you do. Dad designed it for us. So, there are also stairs for you to escape if ever."
"Oh," she nodded.
He takes her to the secret room and then there's another door.
"But it's a long walk."
"Got it." She nodded. "But you should be at my wedding next year."
"I will of course." He winked.
"And mom," She said again. "She's your mom, Harvey."
"I'll try." Harvey kissed her forehead and both of her cheeks. "I love you. And I have to go now."
She nodded and waved at him. She went back to her walk-in closet and she heard Johanna's voice suddenly.
"Keira?"
She came out of her closet.
"Hey," She smiled.
"I think something bad happened to you," Johanna mumbled.
"I am in my office." She told her, so she won't speculate anything.
"Even though you are in your office, there's a possibility that anyone could sneak in and kill you," Johanna said.
"I'm gonna shower now. Work will be in ten minutes." She said.
"Alright." Johanna nodded.
"Jo," She called and grinned. "You shouldn't get hard on Conrad." She winked at him.
"Oh, please. Conrad is my bodyguard and he's a secret agent."
"Conrad can have his own family." She winked. "I'm just saying." She went to her bathroom just next to her walk-in closet. "You have to live your life, Jo. Rather than focusing on protecting me and mom. I have Alessandro now. You don't have to worry."

"How can I not worry when the killer is on the loose?" Johanna sighed.
"Have you ever slept with someone before?" She faced her sister as she turned on the lights in the bathroom.
"No."
"Then, it's time for you to lay back and relax." She winked at her. "Don't worry, after Louise's burial you can take a long weekend and relax."

Klaus stared at his herbal tea as he thought of his beloved granddaughter who was living in a mental institute luxuriously. It's one way to keep her safe. If she comes back, he's not sure if their family could survive because of her.
"Make sure that no one would visit her but me," Klaus told his secretary.
"Yes, sir. How about the men that have been captured?"
"Pay them and threaten them. They will have to take all of the blame." He commanded.
"And Nancy?"
"Her too." He said. "You know what to do. Finish them after."
"Yes, sir."
Klaus felt a little bit tired. Just how long will he have to kill for his granddaughter? He even pulled down the Golden Age for the sake of his granddaughter and just as she wished and killed Henry. It's the first time that he called the best assassin to kill the father so they'll lose everything.
"Also," he said. "Make sure that Jeremy Cha won't even say a thing. But keep him alive."
"Yes, sir."
He sighed and reached his phone to call his granddaughter. She wasn't answering and it's one of the things that he hates about her. The silent threat was a psychological thing to torture someone and his granddaughter was good at it. He scoffed and hung up.
However, he wasn't aware that the person that he thought that left the country was someone who was watching over him. The professional assassin. He was in his hotel room and although with the window closed, someone watched his every move. The old man who didn't overlook the assassin might hold a grudge toward him.
On the other building, Harvey was whistling a song that Keira composed when she was a little as a song for his 12th birthday. It was the last time that he saw her. Their age gap, eight years made him think that Keira didn't need him because she was loved by everyone. He envies his sister but with her situation now, it's time to stop being jealous and protect his baby sister.
"Old man, you messed up with the wrong family." He mumbled. His phone started ringing and checked it. EPUA Dark Lord. Then, the phone hung up as the message popped up.
Dark Lord: Are you done with your game? Are you busy or something?
"What the heck is wrong with her?" He mumbled. He packed up his sniper, put it on his guitar case that was designed for his precious sniper M110.
He left the building in his rocker style and went to the rendezvous in the café nearby. He sat down in front of Sabrina Alvarez-Lawson who was gracefully sipping on her tea.
"So, what's up?" He asked.
"Are you done playing?" She asked, her voice caught him off guard and he heard that she only spoke to someone she likes.
"Well, it seemed like someone's too lazy to scribble?" He chuckled.
"What's with the style, Harvey? You also stopped seeing me." She smirked.
"What would your husband think?" He crossed his arms. "You broke my heart many times, Brina."
"I heard you left the country." She glanced at someone sharply but that someone seemed to look away.
"I did." He sighed.
"Your baby girl?" She asked. Harvey was Sabrina's friend and they train together.
He chose to be an assassin for the government and he had an undying blood lust after the drug that was injected into him. Sabrina was the one who saved him from that and made an antidote for him. Still, there's part of him that wanted to kill. But after what happened to his family, he made sure that Jeremy Cha's people would find his family.
He always sent someone to warn them. He even left a little money for their living until she sold her virginity at the auction. He was mad at the moment but Sabrina made sure to him that Alessandro De Alegre, her fiancé, was there to take her.
But he was mad when Alessandro tricked her into marriage and locked her in his villa like a mistress. He gritted his teeth as he thought about it.
"Don't get angry toward her husband. He did everything to protect her. But you kept on making sure that they won't meet." She smirked. "What if your baby girl finds out about it?"
"Stop threatening me, Brina. They are already together." He rolled his eyes.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

The Tales of the Revolution
Synopsis: As a scholar of science and technology, Joseph Algorith was a man who pursued his dream in unrealistic methods, using his intelligence to surpass all hurdles in this Galactic Era. He was an idealist that combined his thoughts with realism. However, unbeknownst to him in how it had happened, he had gained the opportunity to research a new system, a massive planetoid shrouded in mysteries and magic. However, to fully realize his ambition and creativity, he must save the human race of this magical world, filled with different races and monsters. “The Heavens had forced me, so I shall propose and never will be disposed of.”- Joseph Algorith Spoiler: Basically, he is reborn, with his knowledge as a scientist of the galactic era, into a new world with magic and aura powers. In this world, humans are part of the 7 major races, but two (or three) are planning to enslave them, while the others are watching on the sidelines. His plans are to develop modern weapons to strengthen the human nation because the mages and aura users aren't immortal or have steel flesh even as they get more power to the point they can deal damage of a howitzer using special moves. Though it doesn't mean that there aren't magical armours (and other things)... Extra: I'm not sure if romance will be in this. Depends on whether you, the readers, would like it or how I develop the story further. And there won't be an exact release schedule as I prefer my pace of writing and because I'm busy in life (school and extra activities, FML). If you find any mistakes, please remind me. Also, my writing style and the pace of the story may be slower than other stories you might have read on this website. Though I may make some revisions with the story, considering my editor's thoughts. Also, my story has some concepts from RTW in terms of the idea of creating weapons in a magical world, however, the plot is mine. After reading, tell me, what do you think of the beginning? What do you think your rating would be.?If possible, comment down below anything that could help me improve or to express your thoughts. Lastly, please NO COPY AND PASTE!
