Chapter 159 - Bloodline
Violet rushed to the bathroom and started puking her gut. Bull quickly followed her and rubbed her back. She looked pale and this is the first time that Bull saw her in that condition.
"What's wrong? You have never been this nauseous when cleaning up bodies." Bull said and kept rubbing her back. "But, yeah. She was too brutal."
She washed her mouth and her face next. Then, she pulled out tissues to wipe her face.
"You alright? You can take a break." Bull said again.
"I'm fine. I'll finish this. We have lots of things to do."
The two left the bathroom and Chameleon who was passing by was surprised. Violet knew that she would ask what they did in the bathroom but Bull only whistled and followed her back to the area as they cleaned up more.
"I had it!" Viper said and checked if there are documents that have stains of blood. "It's clean." He mumbled. "Okay, guys. Let's start with arranging things." Viper told the people from the EPUA as they nodded and quickly went into action.
Bull always followed Violet and helped her with heavy things. He guessed that she might be pregnant. After those days and nights with Victor. She might be pregnant and she won't tell a soul about it. She already planned to resign from the team.
"You look pale," Bull mumbled. Although she had a face mask on, he could see from her eyes that she's pale. "Violet. Don't force yourself."
"I'm fine." She hissed at him.
Bull kept quiet for a while. But then, Violet was called by Harvey. Bull escorted her to the elevator. Then, in the office of the president, there's Alessandro and Harvey who were drinking milk tea on the bottle.
"So, these are my best agents," Harvey said as Violet and Bull removed their masks.
"I see." Alessandro nodded. "Your Co-Captain can work for me. What would Miss Violet like?"
"What kind of work?" Violet asked.
"As my wife's assistant. I trust you since you are one of Harvey's friends."
Violet scoffed and sneered.
"I'm also an assassin, Mr. De Alegre."
"I know. But you and your team protected my wife for days and killed more assassins." Alessandro said as he took a bottle of milk tea that he always stocks for his wife and gave it to her. "Please work for me."
"I don't think that I could. For the reason that I am also resigning from the team." Violet looked at Harvey.
Harvey frowned a little but then he sighed.
"I got it." Harvey raised his hands. "What's the problem, Violet?"
"You are the problem."
Harvey looked around.
"You hid her from Victor." Violet's voice sounded more dangerous.
"I did what I could." Harvey stepped forward closer to her. "Victor is dangerous and he could turn her in there anytime. I did everything to protect her." He said calmly. "So, now. Either you turn down the offer and go back to the headquarters."
Violet stared at the drink for a moment. She was thirsty so she took it.
"I'll think about it." She shrugged. "How about two months. Then, find someone else who is suitable?"
"Fine with me." Alessandro grinned. "Don't worry. I'll also give you an allowance besides the salary from the company. I'll speak to my wife and send you some beautiful office clothes."
She opened the cap and drank from the bottle in one swig. Then, she gave the bottle to Bull and sighed.
"Alright, I'm off to work," Violet said.
"Tomorrow, I'll see you tomorrow here in the office with my wife."
"Sure thing."
Violet had decided. Although she's pregnant for more than twelve weeks now, her tummy isn't visible.
"But I want you to know first that I am pregnant with my fiancé's baby."
Alessandro was confused.
"It's fine with me. It's only two months and you could take it, right?"
"I could." Violet glanced at Harvey who looked disappointed.
"Alright," Alessandro smiled. "You could dismiss her from working on the floor under us," Alessandro told Harvey.

Keira still couldn't eat after what happened. But seeing that Johanna was hungry like hulk made her smile. It's because of the baby. The baby might be as strong as she is. Connor has the same skills and there's no doubt that their baby will be like them.
"Why aren't you eating?" Johanna asked.
"I'm not that hungry," Keira said. Currently, they are at De Alegre's mansion and their mother was busy cooking with Connor to feed Johanna.
"So, how about fruit tea, my dear?" Karmina asked. "I'll mix green tea with real fruits and yogurt. I'll be epic."
"I'll have one," Keira said.
"I'll have one too," Johanna mumbled. "Mom, I don't like smoothies so it's better to replace it with a refreshment like that."
"Too much tea is bad for you. But I'll research for teas that are good for you."
"Thank you," Johanna said as Connor nodded at it and took it down.
"She had more appetite in here," Connor mumbled. "Babe, should we stay here?"
"Nah," Johanna shook her head. "I like it when you are my slave back home."
Keira burst into laughter with Karmina.
"Sure babe." Connor chuckled. He didn't mind that he's Johanna's slave. He loved her and Johanna was a sweet mysterious woman. He had learned more about her. He also learned about Hannah Grace.
"Stay here for a night." Keira pouted at her.
"Sure." Johanna smiled. She doesn't know if she could ever leave Keira even for a second after what happened.
Keira's phone vibrates and she quickly excused herself as she checked Alessandro's messages with lots of hearts. Then, he finally called. She answered him quickly.
"Love?"
"Hey, love. I found you a new assistant. I think you already know her but have never met her."
"Okay," Keira sighed. "How's the company building?"
"We are currently letting the employees leave early for further investigation. We mentioned that it's a gas leakage and bomb threat."
"Okay." She nodded at him. "Okay… are you safe?"
"Yes. I am perfectly safe and fine, my love. I'll be home a little later."
"Okay."
Keira went back to her seat as Karmina served her favorite bread roll. She bit on it and pulled it as the mozzarella cheese stretches like bubble gum.
"That looks delicious," Johanna said. "I don't know, but every time you enjoy your food it makes my mouth water. It's like any foods that you ate are so damn delicious."
Connor looked at Karmina weirdly. This is the first time that Connor sees that side of Johanna who enjoyed some food with Keira. They are also laughing and started talking about that certain food that they are eating.
"I'm also going to take that back home," Connor mumbled.

Violet reached the headquarters with Bull, Viper, and Chameleon. The two are already talking about clubbing and she's too tired and too hungry to even talk to them. Bull already has the food in his hands and takes it to her room. Bull set it up on her table while she went directly to the bathroom. After she washed her hands and face, she quickly went to the table and her great friend Bull even sat with her.
"So, what do you plan for the baby? Unfortunately, the house is a wreck and you can't go there anymore."
"I'll live here for a little while. Then, I'll find a place to have labor and raise a baby."
"You'll still contact me, right?"
"That's just a plan, Bull." She mumbled and continued eating.
"I want to be a godfather for the baby. Even though Victor wouldn't make it, I'll still watch over you."
"Hmm," She nodded at him.
It was all her plan. To get pregnant by Victor. It's not for the experiment but to continue their bloodline. She wasn't sure at that time that Hannah Grace was alive. Now that she found out that she's living well and under the control of Harvey, she will do everything to protect her.
"Do you like the food?" Bull asked.
"Yeah," Violet mumbled. She's not a good cook, but somehow, she has to learn how to cook for herself and the baby. This time, she wondered. How is Victor doing? Is he still alive? Did he make it to be the Charles Empire's invincible killing machine?
Bull watched her eat and she's usually quiet and he understands that she's worried about the future, even a little. She's worried that Victor might not make it home.
"By the way, I found out about Wendy Charles's whereabouts. She visited the Philippines for a while and left quickly."
"That's why she planned to murder Keira inside her office." Violet clenched her fist. "You also said that Johanna is pregnant."
"Yes," Bull nodded. "That's what I heard, that's why the boss demanded that she abort the baby."
"He's indeed heartless," Violet mumbled and continued with her food. "Can you buy me fresh ingredients for vegetables? I wanted to cook my meal from now on."
"Sure."
After Violet is done with her food, Bull cleans it off and leaves. Once that Violet was alone, she took her time in the bathtub while admiring her photos and videos with Victor on the tablet. There were times that she had sexual needs and Victor wasn't there to fill her. That's why she has to do it by herself. Although, Chameleon proposed to her almost every night back in the isolated place. She turned him down and that's because she only loves Victor. He's not dead to her, that's why she continues waiting for him.
It's not a crime to wish someone to be alive and go back to her. She loves him to death.
