The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 218 - Meeting The Demon

Holly has never been on a cruise date. The food was great and luxurious and the gentleman even gave her a gift. Maybe it's one way to fancy her. She's beautiful and sexy.

"I would like you to meet my baby sister," Kennedy said. Shortly, a woman in a slit red long dress came with a Butler tagging along. "Holly, meet Wendy. My baby sister."

Holly stood and extended her hand but Wendy only glanced at her.

"What is this about, Ken?" She asked and crossed her arms. Holly was momentarily fazed by her beauty but with an arrogant attitude. She pulled back her hand.

"She's the one who gives us information about Keira who came from prostitution auction."

Wendy smirked as her butler pulled a chair for her and she sat down gracefully. She crossed her legs and tilted her head toward Holly who signed her to sit.

"So, tell me about it," Wendy asked.

"They are poor," Holly said. "Her mother suddenly fell ill and had a weak heart. She worked in the convenience store and the café. She got kicked out because of multiple attempts of stealing." What Holly said was an act of framing Keira because they were very much jealous of her beauty and voice. She received a lot of tips from the customers and even the manager of the café was proud of her. It was the same in other stores. But what Holly didn't know was Keira always had someone at her back.

"Do we have evidence for this?" Wendy asked. "I don't care if you are telling lies. But the evidence is a must before we release this to the press."

"I do have it. The people who work there. We can record them."

"Don't worry, Wendy. I already have it settled. It will be released tomorrow evening. I already had someone to contact those people."

"Great." Wendy grinned.

"May I ask, Miss Wendy. Why do you want her life to be ruined?" Holly asked, which made Wendy laugh. She moved closer to Holly with those sharp eyes.

"Because she stole my man. Alessandro De Alegre."

Somehow, Holly was quite confused. She knew that Keira couldn't steal anyone's man. She doesn't know their past but she wanted to play along and tell that Keira indeed did the same to her man.

"I heard that she did the same to you."

"Y-yes." She hesitated for a while but there's so much hate in Wendy's eyes. She almost looked sick. Or is she sick?

"Why are you hesitating?" Wendy asked. "I already tried to kill her but I failed."

"Wendy," Kennedy held her arm. "Stop scaring her."

"You tried to kill her?"

"Yes. I am surprised that she even survived."

Holly recalled that Keira always had headaches and her mother explained that she had selective amnesia. Holly acted like she was caring toward Keira to even get her mother's attention.

Johanna wasn't feeling tired so she continued unpacking all of the gifts that her brother gave. She organized it and also took the gold necklace that he had on her sixteenth birthday. Her fiancé was currently walking their puppy in their garden. She noticed that there were also girly dresses and she smiled. It won't fit on her anymore. But the gown would fit maybe after she met her brother?

"Babe!" Connor came full of sweats. He liked running too for his exercise with their puppy. "I'm starving. Would you like something to eat?"

"How about take-out?" She asked. "You don't have to work yourself too much, Connor."

"Okay, so what do you want to eat?"

He took out his phone and checked for the fast-food chains.

"I'd love some ramen." She told him. "Baby wants some bento too."

"Sure, babe." He quickly showed her what she wanted and he checked it out. "I will take a quick shower. Don't open the door unless it's the delivery driver."

"Okay."

She looked at Hunter who jumped on his bed and rolled. She smiled and approached the puppy and gave it more pat. The dog made an excited cry as her big pointy ears were open and his tongue was hanging on the left side of his open mouth.

"Who's the good boy?" She kissed the puppy's head and rubbed his tummy.

There's suddenly a ringing of the doorbell. She frowned and was a little surprised. So, she quickly took the tablet to check it. A car was outside and a man in a hood kept ringing the bell. She checked the camera as the man faced the camera. He muttered something that she read quickly. She also recognized him as Leon.

So, she went to the bathroom and told her fiancé Leon was outside. Connor quickly rinsed and put his robe on and went outside. She followed him and Hunter followed. The time that they reached the small gate. Leon quickly entered and pulled down his hood.

"What's up?"

"Connor, I need your help. The Charles Empire is making an indecent move." Leon said quickly.

"Indecent?" Johanna snorted and rolled her eyes. "I don't think that's the right word. They always make indecent moves."

"Let's talk inside," Leon said as they went inside.

They talk in the kitchen while she's busy rummaging in the freezer and finding the pork bone marrow. She took it and showed it to Connor who nodded.

"Wendy showed up on the cruise recently and spoke with that Holly girl. It's not just that but they are gathering all of the people who bully Keira. That's not the main problem too but their killing~~" He stopped and looked at Johanna who didn't seem to care. "Their ace was on the move. They are currently trying to check Ian's background and all and checking if they could kill him and Tracey together."

"Where did you get this?" Connor asked.

"I went there." He whispered.

"Is he alright?" He asked. "Their Ace?"

"I think. They could control him so well. So, I need your help to set up a safe house for them."

"Hmm," He creased his brows and thought deeply. "I will find something," Connor said. "I want you to go away, for now, Leon said. We don't know if they are following you."

"I already messed up with them. You don't have to worry." Leon eyed the bone marrow that she was currently cooking. "Can I have those?"

"No." She glared at him.

"Jo, please." Leon pouted and she shook her head.

"She's pregnant. Okay?" Connor went to the fridge. "Find something to eat here. I will just dress up and let's talk in the living room."

Leon watched as Johanna started mixing a few ingredients and preparing the roasted garlic for later.

"Are you sure that you want to share?" He asked as he walked around to rummage through the fridge.

"I'll give you a little bit when I am full." She said.

"Are you always like this with Connor?" He reached for the soda.

"No. It's different. He doesn't ask for any food."

"Hmm," Leon never thought that Victor and Hannah Grace were very much a contrast of each other.

Soon, Connor signed Leon to the living room. So, he quickly followed him and snatched a piece of strawberry from Johanna's chopping board. The time that they reached the living room, is also the time when the doorbell rang. Connor checked it and he went outside to pick it up. It didn't take long and the time passed by Leon. The man quickly rushed to him like a dog.

"Dude! I'm starving."

"It's for my wife," Connor said with a grin. He has wanted to call her wife ever since.

"You aren't married yet. Let's talk back in the guest area and forget about delivering it to her."

"She's hungry, I'm hungry."

Leon pouted and followed him to the kitchen. He started unpacking it and gave him another ramen. He pouted at Connor and hugged him. He nearly wanted to hug Connor but his woman was glaring at him. He didn't touch the ramen and then Connor switched it.

"I thought that the two of you were going to talk?" She asked.

"Babe," Connor weaned. "You are hungry. We will talk after we eat. I didn't expect that the food would be delivered quickly."

Leon started eating the ramen and didn't care about Johanna's glare. But then he eats like it's the last thing that he will have.

He was eating when Connor took out the bone marrow and sprinkle some roasted garlic and fed a small amount to his beloved. She hummed and nodded. To his surprise, she gave him the other half of the bone marrow. He wanted to hug her right now because he was starving for so long. He had to get away from those people who were chasing him. He thought that he was going to die and he hid for an hour and finally drove to Connor's house.

"Thank you, Hannah." He said and Johanna didn't reply.

After the meal, Johanna joined them in the guest area as Connor gave him one of the hideouts.

"This will be the safest for both of them. There's not much signal in this area but there's a radio connection that is already connected to us." Connor explained. "EPUA or Dragon Empire don't know about this location."

"Alright, I will prepare everything," Leon said.

"Cover them. They should leave right now." Connor said and checked the time.

"I'll go with you," Johanna said.

"No." Connor shook his head. "Stay here."
