The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 94 - Alessandro's Anxiety

At the funeral, Keira let the people who registered online to visit Louise Madison's grave. There were lots of flowers, as people kept dropping them with her big photo just beside the mausoleum that they built. She could only watch from afar. It's crowded too and Alessandro didn't want her to leave the car. He was a little frustrated that his wife had nightmares and couldn't sleep as he does.

"Sir, we have to go." The driver said as he looked at them.

"Yes. To the villa."

Alessandro opened up the villa again after it was renovated with a high technology security system. It's also a built-in fortress. With the help of the Dragon and EPUA. Alessandro didn't expect much that he'd received such protection from the two big empires. Andromeda explained to him that the Charles Empire was hard to deal with and they will make sure that anyone from their Empire would go berserk with the drug that they have.

At first, he didn't understand. But Charles was dealing with a strong drug that could make someone a killing machine. He hugged his wife tightly as anxiety rushed through him. He was shaking a little bit. Just when he's trying to relax, his phone chimed and he quickly pulled it out from his pocket. He tapped the notification that made him frown at the photos of dead bodies.

Unknown: Here are the assassins that are after your wife. If you don't protect her well, I'll hunt you down myself.

Keira read the threat and she took his phone. She deleted it.

"Let's talk back home." He said calmly as he kissed her forehead.

She gave back his phone and hugged him. He stared at the window and saw a light coming from one building. A sniper. However, he was expecting them to kill them as he held his wife tightly but to his surprise, nothing came up.

Keira's phone was ringing and she quickly picked it up.

"I am cleaning up everyone on your way, my baby girl." A baritone voice said. "Make sure that you are safe. Or else, I'll hunt your husband down."

"Don't be silly. He has nothing to do with this." Her face turned grim.

"I'm just kidding." The man laughed.

Alessandro knew that it was the voice of a man. But who was it?

"Charles will lay back for a bit after losing many assassins. They are after my head now."

"You better be safe," Keira mumbled. "Or I'll hunt you down."

The man from the other line laughed.

"Oh my. My baby girl is all grown up. Don't worry. I'm a killing machine." The man hung up and Keira's heart felt like it was torn into pieces.

Realizing that her brother turned into a cold killer makes her worried about him. He must have suffered a lot of traumas until now. And her brother was killed for her. Keira snugged to her husband as unexpected tears rolled down. She never expected to cry over it. But, Harvey is her brother and she loved him.

She turned on the small television in front of them as the media was live about the news of Louise Madison's funeral. Johanna was with Conrad in that area and there were more bodyguards in that area to make sure that no one will get hurt and that Johanna will be safe.

"You were tired. Weren't you?" Alessandro asked.

"You were the one who's tired." She said and glanced at MJ in the front passenger seat. She was always calm and silent but MJ also warned her about the assassins. "It's a long drive and let's recline this seat." She adjusted the seat and pushed him down. She closed the partition between the backseat and front seat. She sighed, relieved as she hugged her husband.

Alessandro relaxed as he wrapped his arms around her and placed his other hand over her ear. He was wide awake but then, he fell asleep momentarily and before he knew it, they were already in the villa. His wife looked lively as everyone was already there. Her mother, Alex, the maids, and the Head Guard that has been serving them for a long.

Alessandro was afraid that one of the bodyguards might be an assassin so he dismissed a few of them and make them pretend that they were back in the house. But there's someone who was wiping out the assassins and it wasn't the Dragon Empire nor the EPUA.

When his wife mentioned that there's a guardian angel, he thought that it wasn't a person and just a spirit. But there's a man who was protecting her. And he wanted to know the man's identity from her.

"Who's hungry?" Karmina asked.

At the dining table, Alessandro couldn't bring himself to eat after he saw the dead bodies on his phone. He was curious about who was protecting his wife but as long as it's someone to protect her and not to put her in danger. He can live with that. But other things worried him.

"Why aren't you eating? Don't you like the food?" Keira whispered to him. He only smiled at her.

"No. It's good." He forced himself to take another as Keira watched him, worried. He reached her hand and squeezed it. "You are the one who should eat more."

"You just said that I am chubby." She frowned at him. He chuckled and shook her head.

"You need it for your extreme exercise."

She pouted at him. He chuckled and then continued with his food. His wife could indeed make him feel better. The food doesn't taste bland at all. It tasted delicious and he was too occupied and worried that he didn't realize that his family was in front of him. They are alive and eating with him and he shouldn't worry about something that hasn't happened yet. But still, his mind won't stop thinking.

After their early dinner, they drank tea instead of wine on the porch near the pool. The villa had high walls and there were no buildings anywhere. There can't be any sniper around and the villa was secured.

"You've been quiet." Keira stood in front of him and wrapped her arms around him. She leaned his chin to his chest and looked up at him. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"You knew it well." He said as he glanced at Karmina and Alex who were discussing their wedding.

"I told you, I have a guardian angel." She smiled at him.

MJ approached them, Keira's female bodyguard.

"Madam, I'm leaving now." She said.

"Thank you, MJ." She smiled at her. She somehow gave MJ a day off although her life is in danger. Still, the woman needs time off. She's been working nonstop and even at night. "Let's go and join mom and dad about the wedding."

She sat down across Alex and Karmina as they showed her the finished product sample of the souvenirs. She was amazed at the three samples and nodded at them. It's perfect and she knew well that her mother would do it for her.

It didn't take long when they retired to their room. His wife went on with papers and he only sat on the other side to watch her. Things kept on running on his head. Anxiety. He stood from his seat as he approached his wife. He knelt in front of her, shoved his face to her lap, and hugged her.

He felt her warm hands over his head and he turned his head to the left as he tightened his arms around her. Assassins were after his wife's head and it's because of him. He just wished that he never met Wendy and had a relationship with her. He wished that he never satisfied her so he was nothing to her.

"Love, are you still worried?" She asked.

"Why won't I? When there are hundreds of assassins, who is after you?" He sighed. "I don't know what to do and hiring thousands of bodyguards will make it worse since one of them could be an assassin."

"Don't worry." She ran her fingers through his thick hair. "Stop worrying about my love. You won't lose me."

"Are you going to tell me about your guardian angel?" he asked. "Should I get jealous?"

"Is that what you've been thinking about?" She creased her brows. He raised his head.

"No. I don't care if he's your lover but leaving me is a different thing."

She was taken aback by his words but she laughed out loud and scooped his adorable face and squeezed it.

"Why would you think that I have a lover when I am with you all the time?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "You may have met someone who could kill while we are apart. But I don't care." He sighed. "As long as he's protecting you."

She snorted.

"Stop thinking negative things." Keira understood that it's because of the anxiety that her husband is feeling right now. "He's not my lover. He's someone important to me." She sighed and kissed his forehead. "I won't love anyone but you, Alessandro. You are too sexy and irresistible."

"Good thing." He pressed his cheeks back to her lap. "Let's stay like this for a while."

Keira put away the papers and tablet as they were silent in that position. She kept on brushing his hair with his fingers and it's enough meditation for the two of them. No kissing or making out, just peace and embrace. He finally stood after fifteen minutes. He got numb a bit but he sat beside her and leaned on her.

"Love," He called as he snuggled to her like a kitten.

"Hmm?"

"Even though we have babies, I am still your first baby, right?" he suddenly grinned at her. She burst into laughter and pinched him.
