The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 165 - Gifts

Keira welcomed Tracey to her office and Violet even served them fruit teas that Connor bought across the street with strawberry cheesecake. She also noticed that Tracey had lots of paper bags for her.

"So, how\'s the flight?" Keira asked.

"It\'s good. I use economy class and it wasn\'t that bad."

"It\'s new from your usual," Keira said as she reached her fruit tea.

"I wanted to spend less and wanted to open a shop of my own here."

Keira chuckled.

"Yet you spend a lot on shopping bags?"

"Hey, it\'s a gift from me." Tracey took the shopping bags and gave the bags one by one. "They are an exclusive Pierre collection."

Keira checked them and smiled.

"Thank you."

"I think they will look good on you. At least, accept it as part of my sorry gifts."

"You don\'t have to, but thank you. I\'ll place it in my wardrobe here." Keira said.

"Oh, you also have clothes here?" Tracey wasn\'t that surprised at all. She knew how capable Alessandro was.

"Yup. My hubby set it up just in case I ruined one dress so it wouldn\'t be a hassle."

"Alessandro indeed pampered you," Tracey said. "I always heard things about you from him back then."

"So, you never heard about Wendy?" Keira asked as Tracey thought of the name.

"No. He never mentioned any Wendy or one from her exes. But, he always mentioned about you."

Keira laughed and thought of naughty memories with Alessandro back when they were teens.

"I was flattered." Keira flushed a little. She checked her clothes and bags and admired them. "They are beautiful."

"Also," She reached for another bag that had a box inside it. Seeing the brand, Chanel made her crease her brows. She spends too much on shopping for clothes and bags. "This is for your mom. I would like to apologize to her as well."

"You know what? It\'s not completely your fault. You are just being a spoiled brat, but it was all Margarette\'s manipulation."

Tracey laughed and wasn\'t even offended by her honesty. Keira was right on one thing. She\'s a spoiled brat.

"So, how are your mom and dad?"

"The annulment goes on. They are separated and I am fine with it. I am also an adult so it\'s better if they are separated. My dad\'s cheating was a big issue and I don\'t think he loves my mom."

"Your mom has to move on too. I think she\'s doing better while taking care of the company. Dad Alex helps your mom with lots of things."

"And I am grateful to Uncle Alex." She smiled. "If mom has a man like him, I don\'t mind."

Keira chuckled and shrugged.

"Yeah, Dad was very kind, that\'s why there were lots of crazy women who fell in love with him too. That includes Margarette."

The two chatted further. But inside the secret room, Harvey was listening to them while he\'s taking care of Tracey\'s safety.

Violet was waiting at the rooftop for Johanna after their work. Currently, Connor was taking overtime to finish a few reports and so, they could have time to talk.

Johanna approached her as the wind was blowing like crazy.

"What can I do for you?" Johanna asked. "You said that you wanted to talk about me."

Violet nodded and faced her.

"How are you?" Violet asked. Johanna was surprised about her question. It\'s not what she expected but she answered politely.

"I\'m doing fine."

Violet hesitates if she should tell Johanna about Victor.

"I~I was a comrade of your brother," Violet said.

"Brother? Harvey?" She asked.

She was even more confused. Does she even know Victor?

"No. Your real brother. Harvey and Victor were in the same school and your brother Victor always tells us about you."

"Victor is dead," Johanna said.

"He might be." She took out a small box from her pocket. "This is meant for you. He has gifts for you on every birthday and every Christmas."

"I can\'t accept that. I\'m not his sister." Johanna denied.

"Hannah Grace, you have to accept that she\'s you even though you change your name."

Johanna clenched her jaw.

"Please, Miss Jo. This is the at least thing that I could do."

Johanna hesitates but she takes it.

"The address is there too." Violet wrapped her trench coat around her body. "I\'ll see you tomorrow."

Johanna was left there standing with a small velvet box in her hand. She slid it to the pocket of her coat and thought about Victor in her head. But she doesn\'t remember his face anymore.

"Babe!"

She turned around to Connor.

"Let\'s go? We still have to pick up the mango float that I ordered."

"I want some lasagne tonight."

"Okay…" he nodded and reached her hand to lead her to the stairs.

Keira watched as her mom was thankful for the bag that she could put on her collection. Since all of her expensive clothes and bags were sold to some store back then to pay for their rent and food.

"This is a beautiful bag. I researched it and it\'s also a limited edition." Karmina said.

"I think it\'s from her savings."

"She\'s a sweet girl." Karmina never expects herself to say that. But she\'s being honest.

"That\'s why her mom was protective of her too."

Keira watched as Lovie was playing with Alessandro with her toys. The man who was jealous of their puppy was now playing with the puppy like a little kid.

"Hello, pips! This coming holiday, don\'t you think that we should go to our beach house? Let\'s invite your friends!" Alex said as he served the beverages that he prepared himself.

"I\'m up for it," Keira said. "I think Jo needs to slack off a little."

"Great. I also added a new cottage for other people\'s privacy. You can invite your cousin and his fiancée." Alex always refers to Harvey as her cousin. She doesn\'t mind since it\'s a cover-up.

She reached for the cocktail and drank it on one go.

"Sure thing." Keira yawned. "Alright, I\'m gonna go upstairs to sleep." She stood and stretched her arms.

"I thought we were going to watch some movie," Alessandro asked. She rolled her eyes.

"Go watch it by yourself." She said and kissed Karmina and Alex. "Good night, pips." She walked upstairs.

Soon, Alessandro rushed up with Lovie in his arms.

"Love, take, Lovie. I\'m going to discuss with dad about mom\'s funeral."

"Okay," She nodded at him. He kissed her cheeks and walked downstairs.

Keira only saw Alessandro\'s mother twice. She\'s been busy and all. And the funeral was canceled many times. But Alex and Alessandro already set up a date and they wanted to be with their beloved for a while. She should visit him tomorrow before she leaves tomorrow. When she reached their bedroom, she noticed that there were finger foods and DVDs. She put down Lovie who started running around and hit many pieces of furniture. She only laughed and checked the DVDs. She frowned at the names. She flushed.

"Is this what he wanted to watch as a movie marathon?"

She shrugged it off and went to the bathroom to have a nice shower. Then, she put on one of her slutty dresses and set up the robe next to the bed. She lay down and Lovie whimpered and barked at her. She reached Lovie and put her on the bed. Lovie sniffled around and lay down with her. She closed her eyes to sleep but then the door opened as Alessandro peeked with that creepy smile.

"You better make this fun. Or else, I will ditch you and sleep."

Alessandro entered and closed the door. He rushed to the bathroom.

"I\'ll brush my teeth first."

She giggled and kissed Lovie. Then, she gently carried her and took her to her luxury cage just outside their room. She set up her milk and patted her.

"Good night."

Keira went back to bed and checked her phone. She was expecting a message from Tracey but she didn\'t. So, she texted her. When she didn\'t reply, she called her. It was ringing and after a few moments, Tracey answered, sounding breathless.

"Hey, what\'s up?" Keira asked.

"Help," Tracey sobbed and she held her mouth. "Someone wanted to kill me."

Keira\'s face darkened.

"Don\'t worry. Where are you?"

"I was at the bar when suddenly… someone grabbed me." She started sobbing.

"Which bar?"

She quickly reached for her phone to check it on Harvey.

"Miss Tracey," A deep voice of a man could be heard from the phone.

"Wh~Who are you?" Tracey was very much scared.

"I am here to take you away. If you stay here, you\'ll die."

Keira might have heard that voice somewhere. Harvey said that he already set up a man to protect Tracey.

"Ask for his name," Keira said calmly.

"Name," Tracey said shakily.

"Eagle." The man said deeply.

"Go to him right now," Keira exclaimed.

Then, there\'s a static sound and gasping. Then, the line went out. Keira quickly called Harvey.

"She\'s safe now. We are going to take her somewhere safer." Harvey quickly confirmed although she hasn\'t asked anything.

"And how about the assassins," Keira asked.

"Dead," Harvey said. Keira exhaled slowly.

"Alright, I\'ll see you tomorrow."

"Nightie, my baby girl."

"Good night. Stay safe." She hung up and it\'s just the time when Alessandro came out from the bathroom completely naked.

"What\'s with the face?" He asked.

"Well, Tracey is being hunted by Wendy\'s minions."

"Oh, crap!" Alessandro mumbled with that pale face. "Is she alright?"

"Yes, she\'s safe now. Or safe with someone else."

Alessandro nodded and went to the DVDs.

"I have new sets of sexy movies. Are you still up for it?"

"Yeah, let\'s do that. I am still in a little adrenaline rush."

"Great."

Keira climbed up to her bed and leaned on the headboard as sexy music started playing. Then, her sexy husband that looked like a God approached her and kissed her cheeks down to her neck.

He was so attractive in her eyes yet she\'s worried about Tracey.
