The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 73 - Memories And Crime

This time, Alessandro used one of his flashy cars that she liked. He drove carefully as they were escorted with five bodyguards on a motorbike. Three in front and two behind them.

The beautiful city lights, on the trees that were planted on the middle of the roads of the Global city to make a barrier, were captivating, including the stores on the side-walks. She always wanted to walk around the city but he forbade her for a few things. She understands that her life is in danger and they haven\'t had any idea where Jeremy Cha went. But Alessandro promised her that he\'ll take care of it. He\'s still searching for other people who stole money from her father.

"Next time, let\'s walk after work." She said. "I wanted to see these string lights and walked to the mall although it\'s a little bit far."

"Sorry, love. I kept you away."

"It\'s alright." She giggled and smiled at him.

"I promise to walk with you next week."

"Thank you, baby boo~"

He laughed as he stopped the car when the traffic lights turned red. He moved closer to her as he kissed her cheeks.

"Let\'s make love in the parking lot?" He grinned. She pushed his chest.

"Maybe after I enjoy the amusement park." She sneered at him.

"I\'m sure that you\'ll enjoy the parking lot, more." He teased.

At the time that they reached the amusement park, they visited almost all of the stalls and he won her a big kitty plushie from shooting the cans.

"Ferris wheel!" She pointed to it. He checked the time and he took her to the Ferris wheel. He wanted to kiss with him in the Ferris wheel mostly but she\'s too happy seeing everything from down. "The city is beautiful at night with these colorful lights."

"Should we make something here?" He asked. But she\'s staring outside for long now. Then, she shook her head and reached her temple. "What\'s wrong?"

"We~~we visited an amusement park back then?"

"We do." He said, but it didn\'t end well. Wendy just ruined it. They have their big fight after that.

"Who is the girl?" She asked him. "Why is she saying that, I\'m the mistress?"

"My ex." He answered. "The crazy one." He said softly as he peeked outside. "I tried to keep you away from her. She\'s crazy that she swears that she\'ll kill you. I wanted to break it up to you so that I could protect you. But I am too weak."

"I\'m going to kill her." She mumbled. He was surprised by her sudden anger. She was silent after their Ferris wheel and when they reached the parking lot, the plan of making love was forgotten not when he started the car. "Are you horny?" She suddenly asked as she adjusted herself a little bit and slipped off her lace underwear. She threw it to his face and he smirked.

They changed seats after their lovemaking and she took the wet wipes to clean herself.

"So, you will drive?" he asked as he put the seatbelt on.

"Uhuh," She started the car. "Is this voice-operated and automatic?" She asked him, while she\'s scrolling through the songs and played Bach\'s Cello Suite No. 1 in G-major.

"Yeah, I can stop the car with my voice." He patted her. "Just in case, okay?"

"Okay,"

She flawlessly pulled out the car from the parking spot and turned the wheel toward the exit. She creased her brows as the car was in their direction with that light. She held her temple as Alessandro called her.

"Babe?"

It was afternoon when Keira left the supermarket. She was playing Bach\'s Cello Suite No. 1 on the way back home when suddenly, a car flashed the headlights directly to her as she turned the steering. It\'ll be a little too late if her reflexes weren\'t good. She might have died already but she used the right headlights to block herself. A loud crashing could be heard even from the other side of the street.

Her ears were ringing and she couldn\'t move her body. She cried for help and saw the woman coming out, swaying a little, and stumbled while dragging something. It takes a few seconds before she recognizes the girl who was grinning at her crazily. The grin of the devil. She reached her seatbelt to escape.

"As I promise you, I will kill you." Wendy laughed hysterically as she started hitting her broken windshield.

"Ales," She called softly as she reached her phone and dialed Alessandro. The song kept playing as Wendy succeeded and grabbed her collar.

"Alessandro is mine, Keira. I don\'t care if he kept coming back to you. I just have to kill you." Her grin flashes as she succeeds in breaking the window and she starts hitting her arm and. "You filthy slut!"

Keira felt useless, pained, and hopeless as tears rolled down and kept rolling until she received the last hit.

"Don\'t come back to life, or else, I will kill your mother." She whispered as she lost her consciousness.

Keira had it all in her head. She blocked it so her mother could be saved. She found herself shaking as she stared at the steering wheel. It reminds her of her bloody hand as Bach\'s Cello Suite continued playing.

"Keira," Warm big hands wrapped around her small hands. "Baby, I\'m here."

"Ales," She called and looked up at him with those dilated eyes. "Where\'s mom?" She cried.

"She\'s with dad, she\'s fine." He caressed her hair. "What do you remember?" He asked as he turned off the car.

"I\'m going to kill her." She said like a curse. "I\'m going to kill her."

"What?" Alessandro was puzzled. He kissed both of her cold hands and shook his head. "Love,"

"Let\'s go." She said coldly.

"I\'ll drive." He said as he removed her seatbelt.

Alessandro drove the car toward the rendezvous. She came out of the car at the time that she saw her mother\'s car. Alessandro quickly hopped out of the car as the bodyguards followed her. Her mother came out. Alessandro\'s heart broke as she hugged her mother and started crying on her mother\'s chest. She must have suffered a big trauma after it. He wanted to know what Wendy did to her, but it\'ll be too painful for her.

"What\'s going on?" Alex approached Alessandro.

"I think," Alessandro looked at his wife, with a heavy heart. "She had all of her memories back. She wanted to kill Wendy."

"Something isn\'t right. Her grudge wouldn\'t be triggered from her lost memories, unless," Alex stopped. "Unless Wendy mentioned something."

"Like threatening her to kill her parents," Alessandro said. "It\'s enough to trigger her grudge even though she was dying in that accident that Wendy caused."

"She had multiple injuries on her head and left arm that wasn\'t caused by the accident," Alex said. "I failed to protect her back then but I promise not to make the same mistake twice."

"Dad," Alessandro felt hopeful but seeing his wife breakdown, made him feel hurt.

"She\'ll be riding with me," Karmina told Alessandro as he nodded.

"It\'s fine," Keira sniffled. "I\'ll sleep with you tonight, is that okay, mommy?"

"Yes, my dear." She caressed her hair lovingly. "Do you want to stay with your husband?"

"Yes," She nodded as Karmina let her go.

Alessandro drove to the villa and he kept glancing at his wife. He commanded his AI to take over the wheel and he reached his wife\'s hands.

"My love, are you going to tell me now?" I asked softly and kissed her hands. She pouted at him as her lips wobbled. Her eyes are red and tired from crying.

"I remembered it all." She said softly as her voice broke. She breathed and composed herself. "I remember how she hit me many times to kill me. I don\'t want to be alive anymore, love." She sobbed hard.

"Shh, hush now. It\'ll be hard for you to breathe if you cry a lot." He gently patted her head. He clicked the button as two glass bottles of water opened from the compartment between them. He opened the cap and made her drink.

She breathed after gulping on her water. She hiccuped and looked at him with those adorable pouts, like a kid.

"We are near to the villa." He wiped her tears. "Drink slowly, my love."

She nodded at him. Once that they reached the villa, Karmina went directly to the kitchen.

"I\'ll help in the kitchen," Alex said as Alessandro carried his wife to their bedroom.

He helped her clean her face while she mumbled about food.

"Sure that you\'ll be sleeping with mom?" He asked as he chose her pajamas.

"Yes,"

She takes a quick shower. Her husband joined her and helped her. At the time that she came out, her phone was ringing crazily and then it stopped. It rang again and so, she quickly answered Johanna\'s call. Weirdly, she had ten miss calls. But she answered her anyway, thinking that it\'s an emergency.

"Jo?"

"Madam, I\'m sorry." Johanna\'s voice was shaking. "All of the cameras were cut off and~~we lost three bodyguards,"

"To the point." She ordered as her heart started pounding.

"Louise Madison is gone. She was murdered in her bedroom."

Keira\'s world shattered.
