The Billionaire's Kept Woman

  Connor knew that it's creepy. Johanna is a killing machine so she had that odd or creepy behavior. He quickly put down the knife and approached her. 

"You can't fall asleep?" 

"Someone was outside the gate so…" 

"Don't worry. It's just MJ." 

  She nodded and looked at MJ and nodded her head as she turned back. 

"I'll be back," Connor said. 

"What are you making?" MJ asked. 

"Cucumber salad with fruits!" 

"I got it!" MJ said aloud.

  Connor took her fiancée upstairs to his room. She climbed up on the bed and lay down. He covered the sheet to her and increased the volume on the AC. Then, he kissed her lips. He stripped his apron and shirt as he joined her. She closed her eyes and fell asleep almost quickly. It's like twenty minutes, so he went back downstairs, fully clothed, and found MJ already had those fresh fruits back in the freezer. 

"Is she alright?" MJ asked. 

"Yup." He smiled. "I'll set up the table in the family room. We'll have a perfect samgyupsal. I also invited Keira and Sandro." 

  MJ nodded with a smile. Connor became busy setting up the table with a built-in electric griller and he set up the wires and the television for their movies. Maybe it's the first time that he had a few more people in his house but he needs to get used to it as his future wife will have the whole family in his house. He went back to the kitchen to check the thin slices of pork and beef that were still sealed and half-frozen. 

"Uhm, Harvey will be here with K and Sandro in a few moments." 

"Understand." 

  MJ sighed and put a few ingredients on her soup. 

"Are you sure that it's alright?" 

"Yup." Connor nodded. "I think Jo also wanted to see Keira." 

"Got it." MJ sighed. "Your house is high-tech." 

"Yup. Security is a must to protect my baby." He grinned as he fixes his apron and reached the potatoes soaked in the water. He put it on the sink to washed it again. Then, he put it on the fries chopper. He then places the potatoes over the tray with paper wax. He poured olive oil, salt, and pepper. He added sliced pepper bells and cherry tomatoes and put them in the oven. 

"You are something." She said with a giggle. "Let's put lots of cheese~~" 

"And bacon!" The two did their secret fist bump and he checked the tablet where his beloved was sleeping peacefully.

  Keira was a little bit tired from lovemaking and having a grand lunch in their hotel room. He treats her well with massage and multiple orgasms. That's why she's productive and finished a few files. She left early with her husband while her brother was riding on his motorbike following them. Keira and Alessandro don't have any bodyguards at that moment and he used a different car to blend in. At the time that they reached Connor's house which is way closer to the company, she was greeted by Johanna with a hug. 

  She was clingy toward Jo and she knew that Johanna would ignore their brother. They went to the family room where the foods were settled and she sanitized her hand first as she sat down beside Johanna. 

"Wow, these are famishing." 

"You'll have more energy for tonight." Connor teased and he approached Harvey as the two left to talk. MJ, who was wearing an apron, smiled at them. 

"I'll get the cold beers… and soda?" She asked Jo. 

"Yes, please." 

  Keira smiled at Jo and reached her flat tummy. 

"So, how did it go?" 

"We visit another clinic and Connor has the recording of the baby's heartbeat." 

"That's amazing," Sandro commented. "So, we could hear the baby's heartbeat although she's like four weeks old?" 

"Mine is eight weeks," Johanna said. "Two months and our baby doesn't look big on my tummy. But the embryo is healthy." 

"That's amazing." Keira pouted. "I wanted to be sexy during pregnancy and after." 

  Johanna chuckled. 

"I could do some exercises," Johanna said. "The doctor said that extreme abdominal exercises are bad, so I plan for a different exercise to keep my shape." 

  Keira glanced at where Harvey and Connor went. They are adults and she knew that they would fix it up normally. After a few moments, MJ came with cold beers and sodas. Sandro helped her with it. Then, Connor and Harvey came. Then, Harvey hugged both of his sisters from behind and kissed each of them. Then, he wrapped both of his arms around Johanna and kissed her temple. 

"Make sure that you won't get killed and you'll protect the baby no matter what," Harvey whispered to her. Johanna nodded. "Or else, I might torture few people again and kill them." 

  She nodded at him as she gently touched his arm. 

"You are precious to me too." 

  Harvey stood straight and patted his sister's head. 

"Okay, let's eat?" Connor asked as he sat beside his beloved and MJ started grilling the meats. 

  Keira smiled at the potatoes and dipped them on the hot melting cheese with a hum. 

"Love! We should have this in our home!" 

"Sure." Alessandro grinned at her and caressed her hair. 

"Uhuh, so the two of you ditch work and celebrate De Alegre's ratings in the hotel?" Harvey asked. 

"Yeah," Sandro said and took the thong to flip the meats on their sides. 

"This is good." Harvey sipped on the soup. "Did you make this, baby?" 

"Yes," MJ answered and served him more food. "Eat up." 

  Keira also makes sure that her husband is eating well and they are eating happily while playing a movie. 

<><><><>

  Johanna and Harvey stared at each other for a while and they seemed to understand a few situations. Their dinner was enormous and they were happy. After dinner, they went their own ways to check a few things. They decided that it's late, so Connor offered them guest rooms and comfortable clothes. Keira and Sandro already had clothes in their room that Connor set up last time since Johanna suggested it. Now, he offered Harvey some clothes and to his fiancée. 

"Can you prepare something~~like milk with cheese?" Johanna asked Connor. 

"Yes, love." 

  Keira grinned and hugged Johanna. 

"You are treating him like a maid." 

  Johanna smiled and patted Keira's head with her right hand while her left arm was wrapped around her waist. 

"You should sleep, Keira. I know that you are tired." 

"Aren't you tired?" Keira asked with those puffy eyes and both of them knew how tired Keira was. 

"I nap like three times." Jo giggled and kissed her forehead. "Go to your hubby. I'll be fine." 

  Keira nodded and waved at Jo while she's going upstairs. Johanna faced the glass sliding door as the rain kept pouring. Harvey stood beside her holding a glass of water. 

"They are moving fast while you aren't around. This is the reason why I don't want you to leave Keira's side." 

"And it's also because Connor wasn't around," Johanna said. "I already suspect people close to us." 

"Hmm," He nodded and sipped on his water. "End them swiftly. I'll clean up the mess." 

"Will do." 

"Don't get hurt. Protect the life inside you." 

  Johanna's heart melted as she watched Harvey turn back and went upstairs. She knew that deep inside that he cared a lot. She didn't understand him much on why he should make aggressive and impulsive moves. She reached the tablet and made sure that everyone was safe. She turned around to find her boyfriend with a tray of milk, cheese, and fruits. She smiled at him and received a big kiss on her temple. 

"Let's go upstairs?" 

  She nodded. When they were in his bedroom, he went to the bathroom to set up a few things for her while she's drinking her milk. She's near the window and watching the rain from the outside. It seemed to be raining hard today with lightning and loud thunderclaps. 

"You can take a shower anytime." He said and he joined her in the milk. Suddenly, with the thunder and hard rain. The electricity went off. In just three seconds, the generator was turned on. 

  He reached the tablet and checked everything. Although it would blackout for five minutes, their security system won't be disabled. He has big reserved energy just for them.

Johanna glanced at the tablet and her brow creased seeing a shadow outside the wall of their house. 

"I saw someone standing near the wall." She said as she slipped off from the bed and turned off the main lights. 

  Connor used the tablet to check on each camera and she's right. The man was just outside Connor's house standing and seemed to be trying to walk around to enter but then, he came back with a cat. 

"Maybe it's just a man looking for his cat." He shrugged. But he knew that he couldn't brush it off. 

"Did they follow Keira and Sandro?" She asked as she closed the curtains and held the edge to peek through it. 

"Maybe." 

  Connor checked again as there's a little glitch on the cameras. 

"Con," She called as he approached her and peeked at it. "There's a drone." 

"Hmm." Connor went to the drawer as he clicked something. Then, he positioned it to the edge of the glass window and opened it a little bit. He cocked his gun and aimed it at the drone and hit it with one shot. "No one is going out. I'm still going to check it tomorrow." 

  He approached the wall and clicked something as the wall opened. The shelf is big enough to have two big monitors and keyboards. He typed fast and checked if there's another drone. 

"Are they here to kill our baby?" She suddenly asked. It made Connor's heart sink. He knew that she's afraid. 

"No, baby. I won't let them touch you."
