The Billionaire's Kept Woman

  Keira already missed her brother after she learned that he was alive. It's been two days since the last time he visited her. He didn't show up or visit again and she was worried but he promised that he'll be watching her from a distance to protect her. And just as Harvey told her, assassins were around. 

  She bit on her nails and looked at her husband who was pacing back and forth after they received from EPUA and Dragon Empire that she was listed as the top priority of the assassins in the country. 

"You can't go to the office now," Alessandro said. "You can't go to the funeral too." 

"But," Keira sighed. "I will be safe." 

"No," Alessandro said coldly. "We are leaving. But first, I want to show you to someone." 

  Keira raised her eyes to him. She stood as her husband extended his hand. She held it and he took her to his parent's room. They went to the bathroom and she stayed silent since he looked too serious. She was surprised that there's a secret door. 

  They went downstairs and found a capsule and a comfortable sofa. Alessandro looked up at the woman. She watched him in dazed and then she looked up at the beautiful woman. 

"Your mom?" She asked. He smiled and hugged her. 

"I wish mom could see us like this or could see us married." He kissed her temple. "I can't let anyone take you from me, like the way they take my mom from us." 

  Keira's tears ran down to his shirt. She hugged him back and hugged him tightly. She's also terrified to leave him early. He'll be miserable and she knew that Alessandro would do everything for her. But no matter what happens, Keira had to be ready and to make sure that Alessandro wouldn't live like an empty shell. 

"Your mom is beautiful." She said softly as she closed her eyes hard and tears kept rolling down her cheeks. 

"Mom's funeral will be held soon after we make sure that Margarette will rot in jail." 

  Keira gently pushed him and wiped her tears. She smiled at him and scooped his face. He was crying and hiding it from her. She wiped his tears and smiled at him. 

"Don't worry. I have my guardian angel to protect me and you." 

  Keira looked up at Fana, one of the most beautiful women she knows. She remembered a lot about her and that she's caring for her and Alessandro and she loved her like a real daughter. Now, it's time that she should protect her husband from those psychopaths. 

"I will protect you too." She mumbled. 

"MJ and Conrad will help you. They are one of the best agents that Sabrina sent."

"The training will continue." 

"By the way, I was planning to sell the villa. The one that your friend gave." 

"Why are you selling it?" He creased his brows. She smiled at him. 

"Don't worry. I'll handle it. I have to create a secret hideout for us." Keira said. "I will protect you, my love." 

"Keira, I should be the one to protect you." 

"It's the weekend." She giggled. "We are supposed to relax a bit. Right?" 

<><><><>

  He never thought that her sister would give him the villa. A wedding gift from a friend and they never knew where it was located. She wanted to put it as a secret villa or a hideout. Well, he missed her a bit and he already had the papers for the villa. She bought the villa with her own money, using his name just for a show. 

"It seemed like there were more secret hideouts here. Time to change that." He said as he looked at the BluePrint. 

"It's not bad at all," Sabrina said as she glanced at her cousin Andromeda. "You called me for this, Andro?" 

  Andromeda flipped her hair. 

"Keira is my friend and I have to protect her from those assassins. The old man didn't know whom he was dealing with." She smirked and then she faced Harvey. "I have someone who could set it up. My adopted Uncle could fix the villa, dear Harvey." Andromeda winked at him flirtatiously. 

"Stop seducing me, Andy," Harvey complained. "What if your husband knows that you are flirting with this handsome man?" 

  Andromeda scoffed. 

"Flirting is fine with you. You are like a baby and my husband is more handsome than you." Andromeda said. "This is a beautiful villa. One of Adamson's secret villas who used to be his secret hideout from everyone and where he kept his woman." 

"His woman? You mean, his wife now?" Sabrina asked. 

"Yeah, they are adorable." Andromeda snickered. 

"So, you and Zach are good now?" Sabrina took out sodas from her bag and tossed the drinks to Harvey and Andromeda. 

"Yeah," Andy said. "I still can't forget what happened. But Zach let me free for a while even though he left miserable." Andy sighed. "There are things that I haven't realized since the time he left me. There were so many around the world." She smiled. "I was always with him and crazy… it was a little toxic relationship at first. Like we don't want to be with anyone but each other." She shrugged. "But we are quite happy now." She smiled. 

"Well, good for you." Harvey rolled his eyes. "I was the only one who got rejected by both of you." He walked around as the girls followed. 

"Rejected?" Sabrina asked. "I didn't say that I rejected you." She teased him. 

"Not you too! You were supposed to be quiet." Harvey said irritatedly. He didn't know why the two came with an assassin like him. 

"Let's get to work," Andromeda said. 

"I have new things in EPUA," Sabrina said. "Shadow was good at new projects." 

"Yeah, he was." Andromeda nodded. "We are dealing with the Charles Empire. They are pretty powerful but we can't fight against them. It'll be bad for us. That's why I turned down Alessandro and Keira. But in a good way." 

"Just how are they powerful?" He asked as they entered the basement. 

"They have deals underground and make drugs. The one that was used on you was their creation." Sabrina said. "You still hold a grudge toward them. Right?" 

"Yes," He gritted his teeth. "They were the reasons why my sister and mother had to suffer for years after Henry died. They were trying to take over the Golden Age and at this moment, they planted spies, which are the current employees. Alessandro hasn't wiped them out." 

"Alessandro had his reasons and his intel isn't that great," Andromeda said. "Why not send him? You knew each employee including the janitors." 

"I will. This Secret Villa should remain secret." 

"And I'll send my Uncle," Andy said. "He's still young, like around your age or maybe younger." She shrugged. "He's also a visionary and he has numerous villas that have a safe place." 

"Your Uncle will be a great help," Harvey said as they looked around the wide basement. "This needs to be upgraded." 

"Set up for your guns. I'll send you more." Sabrina said as she sneezed. 

  Andromeda winked at her. 

"That's cute, Brina." She opened the cap of the soda and swigged it to her mouth. 

"Shut up, Andy. I don't like to be called cute." Sabrina hissed. 

  Harvey set up his bags and sighed. 

"The place is secluded enough." He said as he controlled removed the white cloth of the chair and table. He sat down and set up his computers. He left the drone outside the house so he could control it from the inside. "Bars aren't good for every door." 

"Let's make it like a fortress. Electricity-operated fortress. Also, we'll have our underground electricity." Sabrina told. 

"Keira mentioned that there's an underground place that was used as a hideout during the Japanese times," Andromeda said and took out another BluePrint. "We can set it up there to avoid radiation. The materials will be in two weeks." 

"I have a new operating machine too," Sabrina said. "I'm doing this for Alessandro and you, dear Harvey." She winked. 

"You better do that, Brina." Harvey chuckled. 

  He's been their secret friend and he watched over them like his little sister. Mostly to Sabrina. He also encountered Andromeda in a fight and they almost killed each other but it was until Andromeda found out that he was drugged. The one that she's been investigating and someone sent her this high-quality assassin. 

"How's your sister?" Sabrina asked. 

"She's exercising and doing lots of defenses," Harvey said. "She needs to at least learn that way," Harvey said. "My sister had survived for years being puzzled about herself. She'll survive in this." Harvey remembered those days that they were not rich at all and Keira hadn't been born. 

  They were also suffering from getting all of the things that they need. Karmina always cooks something for him to make sure that he's full. Their business goes down until he even learned that his father was mad over something and threw it over his mother. It's normal for a couple to be that way but then, he realized that people outside are toxic. 

  He watched as his father got blamed for something and because of frustration, he had transferred it to the loving and caring wife. But his mother was always holding back and taking all of the burdens to herself. He was there to comfort her even a little. And their father never realized that she had defects in the heart. 

  Karmina always looked composed and calm but deep inside, she's suffering. That's why he always hugged his mother when he read that hug was a comfort and could be therapeutic. Comforting his mother and not stressing her was his way to love her. 

He hated the people outside. He chose to be alone until now. At a young age, he was mature enough to confront his father for shouting at his mother. He does not wish to have his little siblings see it and see the pain that a mother would keep.

Harvey had witnessed the ups and downs of the family until there's Keira that he loved and envied at the same time.
