The Billionaire's Kept Woman

  The place needs more bedding, clothes, and food for the children. They spoke to father Joseph and mother Grace as they told good things about Louise. She was a singer in the choir and everyone seemed to be amazed at her talent, although she was naughty sometimes, she's also a kind girl. The girl had to leave after not being adopted and so she worked in the city. Father Joseph mentioned that Louise was always sending money regularly for the food. 

  Keira never thought that working as an escort to survive was one way for Louise to do for a living. She also constantly sings in bars and clubs to get paid. Until she was raised as a singer. And then, Mother Grace said that even though she was a successful artist or singer, Louise never became selfish of the things she had. She sent clothes and helped with renovating bathrooms, dorms, and offices.

  Keira thought that she wasn't a bad person at all. She understands that Louise just falls in love with her husband because of the attraction and warmth that she might have received from him for a night or two. Maybe no man ever respects her. Louise was just a lonely girl after all. She also knew that she'd been molested by Jeremy Cha with few more directors and more artists have been molested by them. Louise was trying hard to make it on top to survive and there were a lot of people who were willing to take advantage of their weakness to get what they wanted. 

"How about school materials?" Keira asked. "The kids need it." 

"We could still provide school materials and somehow, we lacked." Mother Grace said. 

"My lawyers will come by tomorrow to speak about arrangements. Louise has been planning to renovate the church and the rooms for the children. Her lawyer will also be there to assist." 

"Renovate?" The Priest asked, confused. 

"Yes," Keira smiled at him. 

"Th~Thank you…" The Priest reached her hand and held it. "Bless you. Oh, God." 

"Louise mentioned to my secretary that on this upcoming album that she was supposed to release was a fundraising for the orphanage and so, I will make it come true." 

  Keira's heart swelled when the two old people who had been in the orphanage ever since Louise was ten years old were almost crying in tears from what she said. They mentioned that they have to cut off a few things so the children won't starve. Some people are also helping them. Donating foods, clothes, and hygiene kits to everyone. Louise had a kind heart even though she knew that she never showed it to anyone. She was just depressed for being alone and treated like a whore. 

"You looked so tired," Alessandro said as they left the orphanage. 

"I'm fine." She sighed as she hopped into the van. She reclined her chair and her husband sat beside her and held her hand. "I am happy that Louise was kind and didn't hate the place where she grew up. I know that the church is strict, but she did everything and sacrificed to live." 

"And you are still helping her until now," Alessandro said and kissed his wife's forehead. "Take a nap, my love. It'll be a long drive." 

"Aren't you tired? You are always focused on your gadgets and stuff." She pouted at him. 

"I have to check a few documents." He patted her head. 

"Nap with me. You can work on it tomorrow." 

"Alright." He sighed and put away his tablet as he closed his eyes. His head started aching like it's going to break. He gently opened his eyes and reached his water and sipped on it. They need to relax after all of this mess.

  Gena told her husband that she's going to help their daughter settle in Paris. But at the moment, Gena was following him. He was in the office after all of the mess and he managed to get through it. However, Gena was sure that Alex won't let her husband go that easily. Also, she planned to backfire on her husband for cheating on her. 

She patiently waited as the men that she hired followed Anthony to an apartment building nearby. 

  She followed him and he entered the apartment. He has the keys to it. Gena managed to get the duplicate from it when her husband got home. She wanted to see them in action so she waited for a few moments. A clip was sent to her again and it's live. The couple is in the bedroom, butt naked. So she went to that door, unlocked it. She exhaled, her hands cold and shaking and she opened the door and heard a couple moaning. 

"You are so much better than my wife." Anthony moaned. It made her angry even more. Her blood rushed to her head and rushed to the bedroom. It's lewder to see them in actuality. Margarette was busy riding on her husband. 

  Gena's eyes were red as she dropped her purse and took her husband's belt and hit Margarette on the back. The two scrambled as Margarette moaned painfully and she hit her husband right on his abdomen that might have brushed on his penis. Anthony groaned in pain. She dropped the belt and grabbed Margarette's hair and dragged her powerfully out the door to the main entrance of the apartment while Margarette was squealing like a pig. 

  Gena hit her chest and bent down and slapped her again. 

"You bitch!" Margarette growled. 

"You whore!" Gena hit her again and her husband pulled her but Gena was strong enough to punch his face. "I have all of the evidence, Anthony." She slapped him again. "Don't you ever go near my daughter!" 

  Gena found out that Anthony and Margarette had been participating in lewd stuff just for business. Gena exhaled and controlled herself to avoid sobbing. Her bodyguard came up and took her purse. Lots of people peeked from their door to see what's happening. This is enough humiliation for Margarette and Anthony. 

"Let's see in the court, Anthony," Gena said coldly. "Also, get ready to lose everything." 

  She turned back, her heart ached from the betrayal. She suspected that he might be screwing around but never expected it to be Margarette who acted like an angel in front of them but a snake behind her. When she arrives home, she makes sure that there's no trace of her husband's things. The maids already packed it up and she made sure that those expensive cars will be hers. 

  Earlier today, she met up with the board and made sure that they will vote for her. She will run her family company and make sure that their daughter is safe since her husband was always screwing around. Then, she suddenly thought of Alex. She called her driver and left the house again. The time that she made it to Alex's house, people were busy like someone was moving in and a slender woman was standing and ordering maids and butlers. 

  She was puzzled. Does Alex already have someone to change Margarette easily? She stopped for a while like she'd been struck as the woman turned to her gracefully. She knew her. She looked so familiar. 

"Mrs. De Novo?" The woman approached her. 

"I'm here for Alex," Gena said as she extended her hand. "Call me, Gena." 

  Karmina smiled at her and accepted her hand. 

"I'm Karmina, Keira's mother." Karmina squeezed her hand a little and shook it. 

"Oh," Gena didn't expect to have Keira's mother live in Alex's house. 

"Mrs. Del Carlo." The Butler called and showed her the frame covered in paper. 

"That's their portrait. It'll be in their study room." She said as the butler nodded. 

"Alex is currently in his room." She smiled at her. "Sorry about the mess. We are preparing for Sandro and Keira's room." 

  Gena nodded as Karmina. 

"Gena, you are here," Alex called out as he came downstairs. 

"I'll leave you both. I have to check things back upstairs." Karmina walked upstairs as Alex approached her. 

"Gena, what a surprise?" 

"H~How about your wife?" Gena stood still. Alex pursed his lips as he gestured to the sofa. Gena sat down and she just realized that her limbs were numb. 

"I already kicked her out a long time ago. Also, Margarette isn't my wife." Alex scoffed. 

"What?" Gena frowned. 

"Everything is fake," Alex said as the maids served drinks. "Drink some water, Gena. It seems like you've been in war." 

  Gena sipped on the glass gracefully. 

"How long has it been?" 

"Since the time that I brought that whore in this house," Alex said. 

"Why?" Gena was confused. She's also curious as to why Alex would bring that woman into his house. 

"I have my reasons." He reached his water and sipped on it. 

"Reasons?" Gena sighed and clenched her fist. 

"What do you want to do now?" Alex asked. "We've been friends and I could help you." 

"I want annulment and since you pulled out investments, I'm taking over my family's company. I'll just pay him to compensate on the fifteen percent stock. I am sure that no one wanted him." 

"I pulled out investments because they started doing illegal things. I'll help you clean up, Gena." 

"Can I trust you?" Gena asked, sound firm. She needs to be strong now. 

  Alex nodded. 

"You can trust me, Gena," Alex said softly.
