The Billionaire's Kept Woman

It was cold under the sea. Harvey put his thick coat on that his wife bought for him last year. He stared at his phone and smiled after seeing his beautiful wife holding their little Princess. He sighed with a big smile. It just feels good.

"I wish that I have a wife and a baby too." Viper shrugged at him and tapped the elevator door. In the lobby, Keira and Alessandro are cuddled on the sofa. Harvey and Viper raised their brows.

Keira was giggling like a little girl around her husband. They looked like crazy teenagers. It made Harvey cringe. He even shook his head. But the couple had their world that they didn't notice anyone while they were whispering at each other.

"Hey, get a room. Not in this clear lobby!" Harvey scolded them. As Keira and Alessandro looked up at him. Keira rolled her eyes at him while Alessandro laughed.

"Is there a room for us here?" Alessandro grinned and she tapped his arm as he continued to laugh.

"We have room. But this is not a motel." Harvey crossed his arms like a real strict parent. "Anyway, off you go. You too. It's cold here."

"They brought us a heater." Alessandro pointed to the heater humidifier.

"Plus, I'm starving. I want one of those fishes outside." Keira told him. Harvey creased his brows.

"Why would you eat those peaceful fish outside? We have ones that are not instinct." He scolded her.

"What? I want fish or some other seafood." She shrugged at him. "I have to eat first, okay?"

"Fine." Harvey tapped Viper's chest. "Go tell the kitchen that the Princess wants some seafood."

"Okay," Viper left, and then, the couple hugged each other and they started kissing.

"What the fuck?" Harvey exclaimed. "Guys, guys! Not here! Have some dignity." He walked away and that's when Keira pushed her husband and raised a middle finger when his brother had his back.

"Hey," Alessandro covered her middle finger and shook his head. "No. Not that, Princess." He kissed her temple and stood. He reached the blanket and wrapped it around her as they got comfortable and the lobby area was like it was their house. They watched the small fishes swimming altogether.

"It's nice here." She mumbled to him as she pulled her legs and stretched them. "I'm gonna nap a little while waiting for the food."

"Hmm," He embraced her as they continued doing their lovey-dovey thing.

Back in the kitchen, Viper burst in and greeted everyone, he already charmed women in the kitchen.

"Chef?" he called out and looked at the cooks that were wearing white. "Okay, Princess is craving and she wants fresh seafood. Not too spicy, just a little. She will become a monster if she's unfeed."

They all looked at each other. Then, the Head Chef in black uniform approached him.

"Sir, what does the Princess prefer?"

Viper thought for a while. He didn't know much but he started telling him about the foods that he likes. He said it well.

"I told you that it was for Keira not for you," Harvey exclaimed when he entered the kitchen and everyone stopped and saluted. "Carry on." He told everyone. "You can disregard whatever he said." Harvey glared at him. After two minutes, Viper was surprised.

"Wow, she's that simple?"

"Yes, no need for other fancy foods." Then, he grabbed Viper out of the kitchen. "Carry on, people!"

She felt like she'd been here forever. She was clutching on the corner, her head was messed up. Everyone has even been wearing black since that day that Alessandro died, except for Keira's mother. But she's wearing a black ribbon to indicate that they are mourning. The only reason for her to stay alive and not kill herself was because of Alessandro. She believed that Alessandro was her life. Everything she had done was for him. All for him.

"What? Are you still going to give that kind of pity looks?" Karmina asked. "You know, Wendy. Life is unfair and my son-in-law didn't choose you even from the very start."

She stared at the poison that Johanna placed over the small table in front of her and everyone was looking down at her with that grim face. She sighed and sniffled and reached the poison.

"By the way, we heard that your grandfather died. Four hours ago."

Her eyes dilated. She had wished for him to die but her grandfather was the only one who cared for her. No tears came out of her eyes. She can't cry anymore. Her eyes are tired from crying. She only sulks on the corner and glanced at the poison. It was a fast one. They said that it won't hurt. They said that it will only take five minutes before she dies.

She grabbed it and drank it. Everyone didn't show sadness or happiness. It means that they don't care that she's dead. It tastes bad and somehow it burns her down her throat to her stomach. It doesn't hurt that much. They stared down at her with a smirk. It was like three minutes when Johanna started laughing.

"Here I am thinking that you are something, smarter or intelligent. But with few tricks," Johanna watched as blood started coming out from her nose. "But with a few tricks, you fall quickly."

Wendy's eyes widened. They all laughed at her. She knew it! They were fucking trying to make fun of her even though she was dying and had drunk the poison. She could feel it. The poison around her body. She started losing her senses. But then, they give a space in the middle. Her eyes dilated seeing Alessandro in casual clothes with Keira beside him. They were so close together.

Her body was already collapsing but she managed to crawl closer and looked up at Keira and Alessandro.

"Sandro!" She cried out. "Sandro!"

Alessandro only stared down at her coldly with his arms around Keira protectively. She felt betrayed. Never in her life did she ever feel so betrayed. She glared at Keira, with gritted teeth.

"Y-you! I will fucking kill you."

"How? You are dying." Keira smirked.

Wendy was in her greatest despair that she swore that even her soul wouldn't make it to purgatory. She was angry, so angry, jealous, and betrayed. Her heart aches more when Alessandro kisses his wife's forehead and holds her tummy. It was more painful than knowing that Alessandro is dead. She felt her body collapsing and something was coming out from her ear. She reached it and saw blood. Blood is everywhere. She coughed and blood came out.

"S-Sandro," She called.

"Hey, Wendy. I have to tell you. Your grandfather isn't dead yet. He was awake the whole time you were here. We also sent out your fake corpse that they mourn over."

Wendy screamed for 30 seconds and then, she collapsed on the floor as blood continued to come out from her nose, mouth, and ears. Alessandro covered Keira's eyes and he pulled her away.

"Nope. You can't see that." Alessandro takes her away. "Wrapped it up, everyone."

"We can't put her in the ocean. The ocean will get polluted." Johanna crossed her arms.

Everyone started leaving but Johanna sat down to make sure that she was completely dead.

Inside Wendy's head, she could still hear them. Her mind is still working although her heart might be dead. She, however, remembered one thing in her life. His father, the one that Karmina detests. He married Kennedy's mother but fuck her mother. Her mother was a mistress and there were times that when he came to their house, he would get into his mother's legs and mumble different names. It was "Mina" at first she didn't know who it was, she thought that her mother's name was Mina.?

? One night, she saw them in the half-open bedroom, his father had her mother tied up and slapped a few of her body parts with some flogging. Every time his father came, he would give her things that she liked and didn't like. She can't even choose what she wants. Now, she became eager and started asking him to give this and that. He would give it to her, spoil her, and whenever she had an accident like after she pushed the neighbor and got cuts and wounds, he covered it up. She loves her father but is shame that he died and did not give her the last thing she wanted, which is Alessandro.?

? Johanna watched as Wendy's corpse just lay there. She told them to freeze her body in that room. They didn't move the body and Johanna just stayed there to watch it. She snapped her fingers as Leon rolled his eyes and carefully placed the documents over her table. She sighed and started working, Leon who became her immediate assistant served her tea and snacks.

"Are you sure that you want to stay here and watch her rot or something?" He asked and sat on the vacant chair beside her.

"Why not? I just want to make sure that she's dead. I won't risk anything else. There's a lot of things to do besides killing Wendy."

"Like?" He asked.

"Shaping up before me and my brother kill each other."

"You are excellent at being straightforward!" Leon exclaimed. "I never knew what Connor loves about you but most men like women that would make them puzzled. I mean, in bed, like they would get shy or something."

"I get whatever I want because I am straightforward."

"Oh," Leon scratched his head and cringed after seeing Wendy's not so pretty dead body."
