The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 129 - The Proposal

Victor had a dream of his little sister again. He knew that she was alive but seeing how Violet didn't show up that night made him doubt her. He could read her easily and maybe because he loved her. All night, he watched their photos and videos of lovemaking. He saw his old self looking younger than before and without a scar on his face. He kept telling her how much he loves her and then, there's a clip of them intimate together and it was quite aggressive and in the middle of doing it, he asked her to marry him and she said yes.

He even gave her a diamond ring and it's quite big. She was happy and they promised to get married. However, it was years ago, and seeing how much she matured his heartaches. Just how long did he make her wait?

It was already morning when he decided to stroll around the area where he saw Conrad. He had flashes of memories as he begged Conrad to kill him. He knew that they were already controlling him. But he needs to make a move to avoid getting killed again. He's taking medication and Violet mentioned that it's not enough until he surrenders to them. However, he's still in doubt.

He strolled into the area and went to the pancake restaurant. He froze seeing a familiar woman in yoga pants and jacket. He stayed on the corner and watched her wait in the waiting area. Then, she received the paper bag and walked out. He followed her and watched her open the back of her car. He doesn't see Conrad around and he wonders what she's doing alone. To his surprise, she took out a purple teddy bear and approached him.

"Stop following me." She said coldly and extended the teddy bear to him. "I should have given that to you. I don't do girly stuff."

He was puzzled and stared at her bright brown eyes.

"Take it."

He hesitated but he reached it. When his hand touches the soft teddy bear, his heart melted. He remembered that his sister loved it so much.

"Don't kill Conrad." She said again. "Or I'll kill you." She threatened. The way she threatened him made him confused. How can this woman threaten a man whom she knows as a killing machine?

He was dumbfounded as he watched the woman drove off the car. He looked down at the teddy bear. He felt soft suddenly as he remembered Hannah.

Johanna noticed that Conrad was still sleeping and it seemed like he didn't want to get up. So, since she's too lazy to make breakfast, she left the house without telling him and picked up a few items from the convenience store and bought types of pancakes from the Pancake House. That's when she met the Killing Machine who was following her. It's a good thing that Conrad put a teddy bear on every car so she would admire them. But somehow, she had less affection for girly stuff. So, she gave it to him.

It seemed that the man was puzzled so she left him. When she reached him, Conrad was waiting in the foyer with crossed arms. When she hopped out and took the paper bags, he started nagging like a wife.

"I told you not to leave the house without me!" He said as he took the paper bags. "What if something bad happened to you?"

"Uh, nothing bad happened and I made it home safely." She said and removed her jacket and threw it somewhere. "Prepare the table. I'll stretch out a little.

Conrad sighed and watched his lover walk to the garden wearing her yoga bra.

He set up the table and went to the garden and found her twisting her body. Huh, yoga? He never tried one before but she seemed to balance it well.

"So, what's the purpose of yoga?"

"It will make me look younger. Also, it's a meditation. So, piss off and let me relax."

"Oh, babe, you are so cute." Conrad grinned. She turned to him and glared.

"Connor, piss off." She said coldly, using his current name and he nodded and raised his hands as he stepped away.

When Johanna was done with yoga, she took a shower, put her robe on, and went to the kitchen where breakfast was waiting.

"And here's your cappuccino." He kissed her forehead. "So, how about we get married today?"

"Shut up." She said coldly and enjoyed her cappuccino.

"It's Saturday. Don't you have a meeting with Keira?"

"I do?" He creased his brows. Then, he reached his phone and got notified that he indeed had a meeting with them. "The hell?! I was supposed to have a relaxing day with you!" He pouted.

"I'm off to sleep later." She said.

"You should come with me."

"Nah, I'm fine." She waved him off and enjoyed her food.

Keira had a great day as she wore the dress that she had decided to wear last night with a fedora hat and a beautiful luxury purse. She was confident, too confident as her husband was shaking his head and gestured to the mess that she made.

"They will clean that up." She said as she checked her make-up in the mirror once again.

Keira carefully put her first engagement ring into her special jewelry box and put it on the drawer that has a smart lock that used code and her fingerprint.

"I'm ready!" She exclaimed.

Alessandro waited for her for an hour until she's done finishing her makeup and hair. She always does that. She's messy and organized at the same time. But he promised to treat her like a princess when they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Now, he's treating her like a queen and would have every gem that she wanted.

At the time that they reached the rest house that Harvey settled in, Keira flashes her expensive things to her brother and even the new ring.

Harvey cringed and shook his head.

"That's how you spoil her?" Harvey asked Alessandro.

"Yeah, why?"

Harvey almost smacked his face.

"You gave her gems that cost millions just for a ring and~~"

"And personalized jewelry!" Keira exclaimed. "You know big bro. You wouldn't understand living like a princess. Do you want to be a Princess?'

Harvey playfully attacks Keira as he head locks her but not tight enough to choke or hurt her.

"I'm gonna show you what Princess is like," Harvey said. "Look at my muscles!"

Keira tapped his arm and nudged him.

"You are ruining my dress, you bitch!"

Harvey let her go and frowned.

"Did you just call me bitch, you bi-atch!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, yes I did!" She said with that southern twang.

"Hey, what's with the commotion?" Con asked and removed his jacket as he slouched on the sofa. "Damn, it's hot in here."

MJ adjusted the AC as everyone sat down while Keira was distributing the foods that their mother made.

They started eating as Alessandro opened up.

"So, since we destroy the files that you are an EPUA agent~~former EPUA agent, I have a proposal to make," Alessandro said and Conrad was busy eating the burger. "Connor," He called as Conrad/Connor raised his eyes at him.

"Huh?" He asked with his mouth full.

"He's already in my club," Harvey said and glared at Alessandro.

"Yeah, a club full of sick bastards." Conrad sneered. "They are dope!"

"Harvey, this is business matters," Alessandro said. "And of course, you'll have a commission with this. Conrad or Connor will work with us as head security systems."

"Huh? We already have that." Keira said.

"No. That one is chief security. Connor will be an executive. We have no executive for long." Alessandro said as he sipped on the fruit shake that Karmina prepared for them.

Keira gracefully took the slice of strawberry and ate it.

"Why did you suddenly resign from EPUA?" Keira asked and picked the sandwich as she nibbled on it.

"They kicked me out after I slept with your sister. Also, they said that I brought bad luck to them after that killing machine guy came… life is ruined." He said dramatically and which are half-lies… or more like exaggerating the reality.

"I feel sorry for you. But I did get you a job, didn't I?" She sneered. "So, don't blame it on my sister."

"Never. It's the best thing that happened." Conrad winked. "And we are both horny and so it's a good deed."

"Great." Keira grinned and glanced at her brother. "I think they won't let me off easily." She sighed as she thought of the Charles Empire who didn't give up on hunting her down. They have a big motivation and she has to congratulate them on that. They lost lots of lives because they were hunting her.

"At the moment, they won't make a move," Harvey said. "They currently have a problem with their research," Harvey said as he thought about how they researched him.

"Also, the other company backfires from their dirty business," Alessandro added. "With Wendy currently bed arrest after attempting to suicide, the old man also fell ill."

Conrad squinted his eyes as he analyzed everything.

"So, we have more time!" Conrad snapped. "But how long?"

"I think it's enough to complete my ace," Harvey smirked. They titled their head, what's the ace?

"Huh, I don't get you there, H." MJ said. "Currently, the Charles Empire is searching for Harvey's identity. But, Harvey's identity was deleted and it said from the lab of Charles Empire that he's already dead. EPUA showed up that Harvey died and the record was trashed and it's one way to divert their attention. However, they will find it out soon enough.

"What's the ace?" Keira asked.
