The Billionaire's Kept Woman

  In the hall, the maids and butlers are busy preparing for Kal's first birthday that will be held tomorrow. Violet carries Kal everywhere she goes just to make sure that everything is perfect. It was already afternoon in the Kingdom as Harvey and Ian are still in the Courthouse. 

"Bibi!" Kal pointed to his poster. 

"That's you." She told him. 

"Ohhh." He giggled and hugged Violet's neck. "Lab~lab, Mimi." He said. 

"I love you too." Violet finally takes him back to his room. He squirmed seeing so many gifts around. "That's all yours." She told him as she put him down. He ran to the gifts and tripped once or twice on the fluffy carpet but he went on until he reached it and checked the ribbons. He clapped his hands. "Do you want to open one?" She asked him. He turned to her and pouted. Violet reached his head. "You can open all of those tomorrow. I promise you." 

  He sighed, looking a little sad. But he raised his shirt and pointed to her stomach. 

"Foodie." He said clearly. Violet laughed and looked at Terrence who was busy wrapping another gift. 

"I can't believe that you even taught him to do that." Violet laughed. 

"It was the best learning he got from me." Terrence laughed so loud. 

"Alright," Violet was still laughing as she picked up his son. "What do you want for dinner?" 

"Foodie!" He pointed to the fridge just for him. She approached the fridge, opened it, and looked around for the food. He pointed to the carrots. 

"Hmm, let Mommy think of what to do with that carrot." 

  Kal sighed as he stared at the fridge. It made Violet curious as to why he would sigh like that. 

"No… foodie." 

"Baby, don't get too depressed because of food!" Violet chuckled and she put him on the high chair. "Mommy will make something. Probably a magical food?" 

  But Kal still looked sad as he pouted. 

"Baby, don't worry. Mommy is going to make you the most delicious food in the world." She kissed his forehead. 

  Violet enjoyed being a mother to Kal. She enjoyed cooking for him. She enjoyed seeing him happy.

  It was too quiet to be too real. It makes Alessandro anxious. He gently put down the document and sighed. Suddenly, the door opened as his wife peeked and grinned. 

"Hey, love!" He waved at her as she approached him and sat over his lap. 

"Kal's birthday is tomorrow. So, I prepared a new lullaby." She kissed his lips. "It is his first birthday so I made him an album." 

"That's great." He clipped her hair on her fingers and pulled her so he could devour her mouth. "Should we have another honeymoon?" 

"Hmm," She caressed the stubble on his jaw. "Uhm, I don't know." She kissed his lips again. "I think I need to work. I am getting fat." She said. He reached her left breast and squeezed it a little. 

"I am quite horny now." He grinned at her. 

"Fine," She giggled and hugged him. 

  Alessandro takes her to the bed to do whatever they want. After that, his wife fell asleep quickly so he let her be and covered her with a duvet. Then, he reached for his phone and walked toward the window. He called the agent that worked in the Charles Empire to know about Wendy. 

"Status?" He asked. He listened as he slowly gritted his teeth. He then turned to his wife who was sleeping peacefully. "Alright." He hung up and approached his wife. He sat beside her and caressed her hair. "She won't hurt you." He whispered. "I promise."

  Violet woke up early to prepare Kal's food. She makes a lot just for Kal. It was easy to digest and nutritious for the baby. Then, she went to the bed and gave Kal kisses. The baby boy woke up with a beautiful smile. 

"Alright, big foodie." 

  The boy sat up with that messy hair and he raised his arms. 

"It is your birthday!" She kissed his forehead and he hugged her neck. Then, the door burst open as Terrence came in with a party popper and cake. 

"Happy Birthday!" he exclaimed that startled Kal. Kal screamed in excitement and jumped on the bed. 

  Terrence, Harvey, Ian, and Maxi were singing a song for Kal who excitedly clapped his hands. Kal looked so happy that he screamed a lot. Then, they went to the hall just in front of Kal's bedroom where they will hold their breakfast. 

  They need to have a little fun although they know that after this day, they need to leave. Violet doesn't want to be saddened by that thought. Being away from her baby is torture. Being away from her husband was also torture. 

  In the afternoon, they visited the main city of the Kingdom and Kal seemed to enjoy his time with her. 

"Foodie!" Kal exclaimed seeing the stalls. But most of it isn't for him to eat. Violet hesitated by then, Terrence and Maxine took first as Terrence ate first. Then, he gave one to Kal who took a big bite. 

"How is it?" She asked him. 

"Nam~nam." He bounced his head. 

"He's not a picky eater at all," Terrence said as he put his arms around Maxine. 

"I am not worried that you will get thin with your Momma and Papa." Violet grinned at Kal who extended his hand toward Terrence to give him more. 

  Then, before sunset, they came back to the castle where a lot of people from noble families were invited. There were also the old gentlemen who own old establishments. They were friends of Karmina and they didn't just invite aristocrats. As long as Kal is happy nothing else matters. At the children's party, Kal was supposed to shine but it seemed like Harvey, Ian and Leon shone to the ladies. Mostly, the gentlemen endorse their daughters to Harvey but he turned them down as he flashed his wedding ring. 

  Violet lever let his son off from her arms. Because tomorrow, they have to leave. 

"Mimi, sleep," Kal told her. 

"Alright," Violet looked at Maxine and Terrence. "We will go up now." 

  Kal waved at Maxine and Terrence. Then he hugged Violet's neck and leaned on her. 

"Did you have fun, baby?" Violet asked as she left the hall. 

"Hippy…" He mumbled. "Lab, lab… Mimi." He said softly. 

"You looked so tired," Violet said and when they reached Kal's room, she prepared the bathtub with lukewarm water and bubbles. She bathes him and puts on the adorable jumpsuit that Johanna made for him. "Hug," She spread her arms and Kal quickly hugged her. 

  She took him to the bed and sang him the lullaby that he loves so much. He sang with her although he couldn't speak well on the lyrics. However, he got the melody perfectly. 

"Your Aunt Keira has a new song for you? Do you want to listen to it?" She asked him. 

"Yay!" 

  She sat up and reached the small speaker where she installed the songs for Kal. Kal yawned and lay down as he pulled the blanket for himself. She smiled and sang the song for Kal. He took his milk bottle and sucked on it as he lay down and listened to his mother lovingly. She kissed him many times while singing. 

"Kal," She called him. "Mommy is going to leave tomorrow. But I will be back anytime soon." 

  He stopped sucking and stared at her. 

"Hmm?" 

"Yup. I will be with you until you fall asleep and wake up. But Mommy has to go to work. Is that alright?" 

  He shook his head. 

"Baby, daddy is in danger. So, mommy has to save him." He threw away his bottle. "Kal," 

  Kal started crying but then she hugged him although he would throw a tantrum. She sighed. 

"Kal," She called again and he stopped but he's tearing up. "Baby, mommy loves you. But Daddy needs me too." She patted his head. "Sooner or later, you will meet Quinn and Dione." 

"Mimi!" He wailed but he stopped after five minutes and cuddled with her. 

  She stayed with him until he fell asleep. She tucked him in and continued with the music playing while she went to the bathroom to bathe. It didn't take long for her to bathe since she always checked on him. Then, she went to bed and checked her tablet. She read Johanna's email about the nanomites. It seemed like her parents also found out about the nanomites that could control someone's brain and body. It would be akin to the nanomites that were activated to Victor's cells. 

  She reached the pen attached to the tablet as she started scribbling the possible formulas. She sighed and looked at his baby boy. 

"I'm sorry, baby. But your dad is in great danger. And so are you, aunts." She patted Kal's head. "Mommy loves you so much." 

  She put away the tablet slid to the blanket and hugged her son. 

"Happy birthday baby Kal. I'm sorry for making you cry." She kissed his cheeks. 

  Kal opened his eyes and hugged her neck. Then, he fell asleep again. She smiled and kissed his cheeks.. She doesn't want to be away from him but he needs to be safe.
