The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 407 – Heart Racing

  Johanna put the suit over the bathtub and pressed the button as it rolled by itself and locked. She stepped into the shower room and took a long warm bath. She was relaxed and all of the sweats from work were so hard. 

  She went through the closet and there was a pair of black pajamas. She didn't bother to put some bra on since she was going to sleep anyway. But there should be food. 

"I should probably just order some food." She went out to see her brother who was putting the wires and the smashed cameras in the trash bin. 

"Are you hungry?" Victor asked. She wrings the towel around her hair and slouches over the bed. 

"Yup. Can we have some fried chicken, sweet and spicy together with vodka or just beer?" She told him. "I know a place where we can order food. It wasn't that far from here, right?" 

"No." 

  Johanna took out her card. 

"Let's buy that." 

  Victor sat beside her, hugged her, and kissed her forehead for a long time. She hugged him back and snuggled to his chest. 

"You are grown up," Victor whispered. "I'm sorry that I drag you here, Hannah. But I promise that you will be safe. They won't be able to touch you. I promise." 

"It's fine." She sighed. "We will be fine. I am strong and grown-up now." 

"I know." He chuckled. "You are beautiful too, baby girl. No wonder a lot of men are attracted to you." He patted her head. 

  She giggled and gently pushed him to see his face. 

"Now, let's get that chicken and beer. I am old enough now to drink beer with my big brother." 

"Okay," He nodded his head as he patted her head again. 

"Here, use this. This is my fund." 

  He took it as he stood. 

"I will buy whatever you want." 

"Okay," 

"It might take a little while." 

  She nodded her head. He left with the trash bin and he closed the door. Johanna looked at the box and opened it. She smiled as she picked the kunai. There are at least six sets and her name was engraved there too. She's sure that he made it with his hands. 

"Best gift ever." She said as she tested it by darting the door. It suddenly opened when she darted another. It grazed the man's ear but it hit directly the concrete wall. She sighed and picked up another. 

"You nearly killed me," Gray said as he took the kunai from the wall and tossed it on the bed. 

"Get out, perv." She glared at her and picked another as she played it on her hands. 

"So, since your brother just stepped out, we can get to know each other." Gray flirted. 

"I am not interested. Because you aren't attractive." She said in a very straightforward way. It hurt Gray's ego but he's not the type of person that would give up once he set his eyes and mind to someone. 

"That's so harsh of you." He said. "So, who do you prefer? Your husband?" 

"Of course," She smirked. "Now, get out." 

"I just want to chat." He shrugged at her. "By the way, I'm going out to the mall. Since they won't let you out, I will buy you things you wanted." 

"Nah, I'm fine. I can buy whatever I want." She yawned and glared at him. 

  The door opened as an angry Victor came and grabbed Gray's collar up. 

"Okay~okay. I'm sorry." 

  Victor threw him out and closed the door. 

"He won't interrupt your nap." He said as he tucked his baby sister over the duvet and kissed her forehead. "I will take care of you." 

"Thank you." She smiled at him. "Stay with me, Victor." 

"Of course, baby girl." 

  He sat beside her, leaned on the headboard as he caressed her hair.

  Alicia was trying hard to focus on writing songs but she couldn't concentrate. She always thought of Leon. She was always worried. It's been days since she couldn't sleep. She takes a month's break from work to focus on writing songs. She sighed and shook her head. She turned on the television and CNN was the first channel that showed up. It shows the news about the war in the Paradis Evergarden. They only captured a few clips and photos and the country hasn't released anything yet. 

  Suddenly, her stomach churns because of anxiety. She doesn't know why she felt that but something isn't right this time. She reached for her phone and tried to call Violet and Leon but she couldn't reach them. 

"Leon," She mumbled. "What happened to you?" 

  She gasped when the doorbell rang. She excitedly rushed to the door but she checked the monitor first. She was disappointed when it wasn't Leon. Still, she felt nervous. She opened the door as Violet smiled at her. 

"Hey, darling. Let's go out." 

"Okay," She opened the door wide. "Where's Leon?" 

"Uhm, about that," Violet smiled nervously. 

"Did something bad happen to him?" She exclaimed as Violet entered. 

"We will talk when we get there." 

  Alicia rushed to her room, put her pants and shirt on. Then, she brushed her teeth quickly, combed her hair, and put a lip balm on her dry lips. Violet was waiting patiently and she grabbed Leon's jacket that she used a lot. 

  Violet drove the car on the way to the Rossie Estate. Violet mentioned that Johanna was kidnapped by the Charles Empire and there were a lot of things going on but she never said a word about Leon. Now, it makes her more anxious. 

"Vi," Alicia exhaled as she felt her stomach twist into knots. 

"We are here." Violet parked the car near the entrance of the hospital. She unlocked the door and Alicia picked up her purse as she opened the door. 

  They entered the hospital and used the VIP elevator. Alicia sighed as she looked at Violet. 

"Please don't tell me that he's dead." She said anxiously. 

"Nope. He's not." 

  On the VIP floor, Violet took her to the end of the hallway where Leon's room is located. Violet gestured to the door but she hesitated. Alicia swallowed hard as her stomach continued to twist into knots. She twisted the doorknob and entered the room. She quickly spotted Leon who was lying on the hospital bed unconscious. A bandage was around his forehead and his left arm was bandaged with concrete support. 

  She quickly approached him, as tears rolled down her eyes. From this time, she still doesn't know Leon's job. Or what he was. This wouldn't happen if he was just a doctor. She sat beside his right as she reached his warm hands and kissed them. 

"Leon," She called him. 

"He's been unconscious for days," Violet said. "He's stable and the damage on his body wasn't that great." 

"What~what happened?" Alicia asked. 

"A missile was on their way, he was covering up for Johanna," Violet said calmly but Alicia's eyes were wide. She was horrified. 

"What?" 

"You see, Leon never told you. But we were assassins. That's what Harvey built as a team. He's a doctor, good at disguise and he's one of our aces. If it weren't for Harvey, we wouldn't live until now. If it weren't for Victor, we wouldn't have this kind of life. The reason why he didn't want to tell me was that he's trying to keep you safe." 

  Violet looked out at the window. 

"No one can know that he's related to you. You are a celebrity and the Charles Empire is always after us." Violet continued. "We were lab rats from that Empire. The reason why we fight them is because of Victor. Johanna's brother. Leon vowed to protect Johanna until we fulfill our mission." 

  Alicia sniffled and didn't know what to say. She looked at Leon as she intertwined her hand with him. 

"But he's fine, my Leon. Right?" 

"Yes. He's stable although he has a lot of injuries. We will wait until he wakes up." 

  She nodded her head with a sigh. 

"Johanna, she will be safe too, right?" 

"Yeah," Violet smiled. "She's our killing machine." 

  Alicia's eyes dilated. 

"What?" 

  Violet smirked and nodded her head. 

"This is too much," Alicia said. "I will take care of him." 

"Sure," Violet smiled. "He had a catheter, just in case." She shrugged. 

"Oh," Alicia cringed and wiped her tears. 

"Take care of him. I will be very busy." Violet patted her head, then she left. 

  Alicia sighed and glared at Leon. 

"I swear if you won't wake. I'm gonna kill you!" She kissed Leon's hand while she was pouting. 

"Oh," Violet snapped his fingers and turned her heel to Alicia. "I will be in the lab. Just ring the nurse for whatever you need. Also, the mansion is ten minutes drive. Just call me when he's awake." 

"Call you? I can't even call your number." 

"Oh, Violet pulled out her phone and typed something. "There," 

  Alicia looked back at her boyfriend. She kissed his lips. 

"Leon, babe." She whispered. "Wake up. I'm here." She whispered. "We can have a baby anytime you want, just be okay." She unbuttoned his shirt and stared at the bandages around it. "Oh, baby." Tears started rolling down her cheeks. "Babe.." She cried.
