The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 150 - Upgrade

Violet watched how fast it was for them to fix the cabin. They even dug on the soil to put a strong foundation to the posts. At the moment, she's staying in the container van. She only helps with the food. It's been days that they are staying here and she tried to contact Connor and gave him information about Hannah Grace. She's the only one who would help them save Victor.

"Vi," Chameleon entered with a smile. "Are you hungry? We found some wild boar somewhere and will hunt it down."

"I don't want wild boar." She said as she continued reading the books that the boys brought with them.

"Veggies then?" He asked as he approached her and hugged her from behind. Chameleon has been seducing her for days but it won't work. He was friendly and caring and he looked after her so much that invaded her privacy. "I'll get something good." He gently pulled her blanket to check her wounds. He's the one who also takes care of her wounds, puts herbs on her skin and some ointment so it won't leave a scar. "I'll go now." He kissed her temple as he covered the blanket around her and reached the door.

Violet made sure that he wasn't outside anymore as she reached the notebook under the cushion over her lap. She places it over the big book that she's reading and continues with reading it. She also studied medicine but compared to her, Chameleon and Connor have that big knowledge. She didn't want to share it with Chameleon since he's very much loyal to Harvey.

"Vi," Bull knocked on the door and she quickly hid the notebook under the cushion.

"What?"

Bull opened the door and smiled at him. He had fresh fruits with him and he went to the sink and washed it.

"I'm sorry about Leon. But you can punch him anytime if he does something crazy."

"I can handle myself, Bull. You don't have to treat me like a baby."

He only smiled.

"We have lime and lemons. It's good for healing wounds. It'll also give you healthy skin."

He started slicing the oranges and lemons and squeezed them. Then, he mixed it with a few more fruits and gave it to her. She accepted it and looked up at him.

"Thank you."

"You know what? I'll help you with whatever you plan." Bull said. "You are my baby sister, Violet. And if Chameleon did something crazy, I won't think twice of peeling him alive."

She nodded at him and he finally left and he even locked the door after leaving. The two gave her a container van with a bathroom, small kitchen, bedroom, and a small dressing room. Everything is set up perfectly and they still treat her like a Princess. But, it's different whenever Victor treats her like a Queen. And as his Queen, she will do everything to save and protect her King.

She went back to reading the notebook as she read again about the machines that could be attached to a human body to upgrade their killing system. This time, they planned to gather the armies that had lost legs or arms in the war and upgrade them. There's an eighty-nine percent chance of making it perfect but while they are making their son Victor work his ass off killing a few animals, they concluded that Victor could be part of it.

She carefully caressed on the prosthetic leg level 2. It looked so much like the prosthetic that was put to Victor and there's the level five that releases sharp blades and bullets. It could also kick so well.

Inside the Charles Empire underground facility, a man who was staring at nowhere looked soulless. There seemed to be no pain, no happiness, no sadness… It's just pure poker face. The people have to tell him what to do before he moves. He didn't have control over himself. This time, they set him on the reclined chair as they showed up the new armors for his leg.

"This is faster than before and it is connected to his brain." He said and he showed how Victor could activate the knife and bullets on his metal leg.

The old man was admiring the new invention and they put it to Victor and took him to the testing room behind the clear glasses. They tell him what to do as Victor did it. The man told him to fire it and he did. They were amazed by it. Mostly, it pleases the big boss.

"How about Panther's identity?" Elder Charles asked his secretary. "Did you get something from him? How about the woman that he was seeing?"

"They escaped and there's no trace or sign of Panther and other people."

"How about their base?" Klaus asked again.

"We couldn't find any base, sir. Except for that house."

"What did you find?"

The reason why they found out about the house is that she's trying to scan all of the faces in the world using Hannah Grace's photo. The Charles Empire was notified of it and although it was hard to get into the owner of the house's server, they destroyed it thinking that the hacker was inside. But unfortunately, there's no corpse that has been discovered.

"I want to face Victor," Klaus said as they told Victor to approach Klaus and salute in front of him.

Victor stared at Klaus for a long time.

Klaus wanted to check his intelligence and if he knew something about him. But there's no recognition and so Victor saluted him forcefully and robotically.

"So, he has no emotional attachment to anything?" Klaus asked Doctor Gibson.

"At the moment, we are still trying to trigger him. He's not that perfect but we need more time to continue with the upgrade and give him new memories."

"Good." Klaus stared at Victor who was staring blankly straight past him. "I would like to see him in action. Is he ready?"

"We need a week, sir. His cells were currently being repaired after the surgery."

"Alright, a week." Klaus approved as he turned back. "I'll visit again in a week."

Doctor Gibson gave him ultimate respect by bowing his head.

"Change his leg and take him to his room," Gibson said as his minions carefully took the bulky Killing Machine back to his room. They even pointed at the clothes and told him to bathe.

The time that Victor had his bath and lay down, he felt a little tired. He somehow had fallen asleep as he dreamed of an angelic voice singing to him.

"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby…"

He was caressing a beautiful small face of a girl with those big brown eyes and she put down the ukulele.

"Victor, when you leave home again, no one might be able to sing those songs for me."

"It's alright, my little angel. You sang beautifully. Sing it for yourself… and wait for me to come home."

"Alright. I love you, Victor. I'll wait for you."

Her knees were folded to her chest while she's sitting on her window seat, staring at the window of her room in Connor's house. It was raining hard and she wanted to listen to lullabies. Her sister was too kind to sing her favorite lullabies and record them in good quality while she's playing the ukulele. She smiled at how beautiful it was and she remembered a boy who used to sing it to her. However, he wasn't vivid in her memories anymore. Almost all of her memories were deleted.

"Hey," Connor approached her with warm milk as he sat behind her, hugged her from behind as carefully placed his chin over her shoulder. "Aren't you cold?"

"No." She leaned her head to him. "Connor,"

"Hmm?" He kissed her neck lightly.

"Why do you love me?"

"No reason." He answered and hugged her knees. He didn't touch her private parts and only cuddled with her like a sweet lover.

"There has to be a reason?"

"Well, there are millions of reasons and one of them is loving you for who you are and no matter what you are."

She was silent for a while as she stared at the window as the rain kept pouring.

"People love me for a reason." She mumbled.

"Well, not me. I just love you." He kissed her cheeks. "Drink your milk. We can share if you want."

She reached it and sipped a gulp on it until it was half of the glass and gave it to him. He sipped on it and snuggled with her more.

"You'll sleep in your room."

"I won't touch you." He said and pouted at her.

There's a long silence from them but the song kept playing.

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true…"

"That's a beautiful song." He said and rubbed her knees.

"Keira said that I need it and she's right."

"You like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's songs?"

"I do." She licked her lips and bit the lower part before she spoke. "It's soothing. The lyrics are beautiful…"

"Hmm," He nodded at her and kissed her cheeks. "I'll sleep on the floor or maybe on the sofa at the edge of your bed?"

"Okay."

He finished the milk and put it on the table as she took the small speaker and put it on the side table. He set up sheets and pillows at the edge of the bed and instead of sleeping on the right spot, she moved closer to the edge of the bed. He lay down and reached her hand, placing it to his chest. She slowly closed her eyes and he kept rubbing her wrist lightly until she fell asleep.

"You are what I found over that rainbow." He whispered.
