The Billionaire's Kept Woman

  Harvey carried his wife back upstairs to their room and tucked her in. He kissed her forehead and let the dim lights on. He then went downstairs and went to the library where his mother wanted him to be. He oddly looked at his mother and father who were sitting on the chairs. 

"What's up?" He asked them as he looked at the golden envelope. 

"Please read this." She told him. 

"Hmm, both of you are giving me a little anxiety." He sat down and caressed the gold envelopes. "This golden envelope seemed very much fancy." 

"The inside was a little fancy too," Karmina told him. He opened the envelope and took out the documents. 

  Harvey then looked at the emblem that was printed in gold. He looked at his mother. She didn't say anything while he read the documents. His eyes widened as he looked up at her. 

"The Rossi Empire?" He asked. "Your name is on it. Mom, what is this?" 

"The Rossi Empire was older than the Charles Empire. We were once the Dragon Empire's ally." 

"You were the heiress? I thought they had already left the country." 

"No. The Charles Empire wasn't an Empire back then. They scammed my father and took everything. They took me as theirs to marry his son and to have it all." Karmina told him. There's no pain from her voice because a long time ago she stopped being sad from it. She stopped being lonely and became happy with a simple life with her husband. Although they didn't have a lot of money, Henry did everything to invest the money that he and Karmina have so they can have an entertainment agency. 

"Mom, you are a Royal Blood from Europe?" He asked. She smiled and nodded. "Oh, crap. You are offering hundreds of men?" 

"After seeing Wendy, my blood boils up as I recall how bloody my daughter was from that accident. I know that you also would do the same as her big brother." 

"Yes," He said and read the documents further. "Are you also expanding and increasing investments to the Golden Age?" He looked up at her. 

"Not just the Golden Age, but the De Alegre. Charles' Empires have trillions of money and funds. That wasn't reported at all. We also earn a lot and our family jewels and golds are still in the safe. This will be a good investment to pull them down. Although we lacked soldiers, you and Johanna will be our assets. Can you do that, Harvey?" 

"Of course, mother." He smiled. "We won't have a safe and peaceful life if they are around." 

"Right, I will do everything to protect you, Keira, Jo, and also that includes your spouses."

"This is a good mom. How about technologies?" 

"We also invest in advanced technologies. So it'll be better if Viper could have a good use for it." She said as she walked around and hugged her son. "If you want to take over the Rossie Empire, you can have it." 

"Mom, Can I at least take part in this military? I don't care about the wealth but at least, I want control over the army that you have." 

"Sure," She said and kissed his head. "Read it carefully and sign it. I will have someone to process everything. We will also set up the new headquarters." 

"This will be a big help for us." 

  Henry knew how sweet Karmina was but he also knew how controlling she can be.

  Violet feeds her baby boy as she also pumps milk from the other side while Maxine was helping her with putting the milk on the mini-fridge that was meant for Kaleona. She was counting her days but it was too fast. She doesn't want to leave her baby but she must do it and continue with her research. Currently, Victor went back on training and they have new plans. It seemed that the Charles Empire was getting bigger. 

"Vi, I already checked the location of the house. It's good." Maxine said and then she took the handheld vacuum cleaner and cleaned Kaleona's crib. "There's not many neighbors around too." 

"That's good." Violet kissed her son. "I never thought that time passed by this fast. I wanted to stay with my son more." 

"How's the research going?" Maxine asked after she finished cleaning up the baby's crib. 

"It's doing well but I still have more things to get." Violet caressed her baby's fat cheek who released her nipples and smiled at her. She smiled back and kissed her nose. "Love, mommy's gonna work okay? Stay with your Aunt, I know that you are full." 

  Maxine carefully took Kaleona and made him lean on her chest so he would burp. She held him steadily and didn't make unnecessary dance movements. Violet sealed the milk and then put it in the fridge. 

"I might have come home late. We have an urgent meeting. Bull will stay here and listen to us online." 

"Okay, I will take care of Kal." 

  She tied her hair and took a shower. Then, she put her casual clothes on and her bag. She kissed her baby's head as Maxine followed her downstairs. 

"Food's ready." Bull said as he gave the lunch box to Violet. "The soup is packed, just heat it before you eat. I will take care of Kal." 

"Thank you," She kissed his cheeks and she waved at her baby. 

  When Violet left the mansion, she went directly to the parking lot. She used her SUV and drove to the laboratory. She looked at the house as she drove to her location. It took an hour when she got there. Her anxiety rises after being away from him. She sighed and locked the garage. Then, she went inside, washed her hands, and put her lab coat on. 

  She then checked the process of the new formula and mixed it with Victor's blood. It instantly mixes with the nanomites that fought the bad nanomites that controlled it. She sighed. She's almost there. She needs one more step for the last cure. 

  Suddenly her phone rang and she put it on the phone stand. She then answered the call and put the earpiece on. 

"What's up?" She asked Harvey. 

"Hey, Vi. We are currently waiting for others. I think Leon overslept."

"Of course, he did. He's one of the horny men. I won't be surprised if he impregnates his celebrity girlfriend." Violet grinned and checked the blood through the microscope. She took note of it and set the sample on the cooling shelves. 

"I'm here," Leon exclaimed as he covered his chest. 

"What the hell? Is it too early to ram her in the morning? She has a lot of work, you know." Harvey exclaimed at him. 

"I might also do the same if I have a girlfriend who is as attractive as her." Viper said that made Leon frown. 

"Go find a girlfriend then," Leon said and he smiled at someone from the phone. "Okay, babe." 

  Everyone has different eyes. 

"Alright, team. This is somehow a very confidential matter. We can't just call over the phone, so I want to set up a schedule for us to meet." 

"Does this include the C-Empires plan?" 

"Positive," Harvey answered. "Alright, let's set up this plan and make sure that our loved ones are safe. Vi, I know that you are a mom now, but you must go with us. You are important as our asset." 

"Yeah, asset." She mumbled and put away her notebook. "Do you have the things that I want now?" 

"Yes, I do," Harvey said. "I'll send it to the mansion later. Anyway, how's the update with your research?" 

"Currently, I am on level nine." She said, 

"Which means the higher the level the higher the chance?" Viper asked. 

"Precisely." Leon snapped. Leon seemed to be occupied as he followed someone with his eyes. 

"See, he's not even listening." Viper groaned as Bull and Violet giggled. They knew well that Leon was head over heels toward Alicia. Maybe it was lust and attraction but they saw him become overly possessive of her, even during her sexy photo shoot. They knew that it wasn't just lust. 

"Chameleon, what's your report?" Harvey asked while taking note. 

"Ugh," He stammered and then he cleared his throat. "We all know that Victor went back to the facility to do the training. Currently, W-Charles was still locked in her room. And about the other Charles, they are living their life as what it is. Like there's nothing to worry about at all. The only worried person was Old Charles." He stopped and stared at something past the camera. 

"Leon! If you keep being distracted, I don't have a choice but to exclude you from this mission." Harvey said. 

"I'm sorry." Leon sighed and nodded his head. "I have another schedule for my visit. I will make a full report soon." 

"By the way, where's Ian?" Violet asked and checked Ian's name. 

"He is currently at a few business meetings," Harvey said. "I already mentioned to him about our face-to-face conference." 

  Violet felt her nipples feel a little painful. Every time she felt that she knew that her baby was hungry. 

"Vi, you alright?" Bull asked. 

"I think Kal is hungry." She told Bull who quickly responded and called his wife. 

"Nice, mother's instinct," Leon commented as he got distracted again.
