The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 77 - The Flaws

Johanna had gathered all of the secret cameras around Louise's house. The police were already reviewing the rest of the footage and someone even turned off the recording of the main cameras before that time. She knew that there was something off. She suspected Bonnie since she's the only one inside the house. Although the girl was too innocent, she has been watching her moves. Keira also suspects Bonnie and the manager.

"I am liking this milk tea in the bottle," Keira said as she took another sipped on her goblet. "Love, did you fill up my fridge?"

"Yes, I did," Alessandro answered as he flipped through the papers.

It's Sunday and Johanna should be taking a day off. But the three of them don't have a day off since it's chaotic even in the office. It's all over the news. They didn't release on the media how Louise died. Louise grew up in an orphanage so she had no family or any relative. That's why Keira, the President of Golden Age Entertainment was the one who arranged the funeral for her while her body was still going under autopsy.

Lots of Louise's supporters are already moaning as Keira made a monument for Louise before her funeral. At the moment, the EPUA was analyzing her autopsy with the private investigator. The EPUA was undercover to make sure that there would be no bias or any misinformation.

"Madam, how about Louise's recordings?"

"We will release it." Keira pursed her lips. She listened to Louise's request before she died. And it's a valid testament. She already had sorted out the best way to put the funds and also the album that they are releasing. "I know that some won't understand. We are ready for any bullets from the media. I am ready to accept a few slanders."

"It will be harsh," Johanna said. Keira simply smiled at her.

"Jo, you are with me. I can't go along in this fight with you and also, I have my ultimate handsome husband here." She winked at her.

Johanna was once a playmate of Keira back when they were kids. After she became an orphan lots of people pitied her and spoke ill of her. But Keira's father and mother treated her like a family. They even sent her away for her safety and always visited her. Keira's mother always called her four times to five times a week when she was in America. And she became a loyal ally to them. She will help and protect Keira no matter what. They are the only family she had now.

"You are my first best friend too. I remembered it all." Keira added.

"Th-Thank you."

"Now, I just realized that I have real friends closer to me."

Johanna never thought that Keira would say such things. She thought that she was already forgotten. Keira was the only friend she had even when she was young. She was different from others, but Keira shows how unique she was. They play music together and sing together. She was comfortable on her skin in front of Keira. Keira didn't love her less.

"By the way, I almost forgot. Your friend, Holly. She was recently fired from the company after it collapsed."

"Oh," Keira tilted her head. "I am sure that she will come after me. It's a good thing that the guards were aware now."

"You are closing the villa?" Johanna asked.

"Yes, it's one of the locations that Holly now knows. Also, I think our marriage has been publicized too."

Johanna took her tablet and showed it to her. In the headlines it stated that they are "The Lovely Couple of the Year''. There are a lot of things like they are pulling down De Novo after misconduct and Alexander De Alegre was personally pulling out her investment after they kidnapped his daughter-in-law.

"Lots of news came that De Novo's stocks plummeted. Achebe's business is five steps away from the top."

"That's great, isn't it?" She looked at her husband.

Alessandro was happy that even Achebe, who originally had a plan to use his wife's body for their lust, is now going off from the list. But he knew that they were powerful and can be back on their original ranking in a few months.

"Hmm," Alessandro nodded as a response. "But we can't slack off, love. They aren't just normal business people. They also have a contract from the underworld business ."

"But, we still have EPUA's support. Also, we can hire more productive Security services like Dragon Empire." She winked.

"Dragon Empire, eh?" He shrugged about it. "Dragon Empire is way more capable. They are monsters when it comes to missions. But, Andromeda was now leading it."

"And Andy is my friend and your friend too."

"Yeah," He bounced her head. Now, thinking about it. The boys also lend their hands to him. But he was worried that if he took them to his battlefield, their Empire would fall with him if he fell. He can't risk his friends too. They have their own family now. The only person that could help them is Andromeda. But with the current situation that she's facing the big Mafia, it'll be hard to have her focused.

"We'll ask for a little support then," Alessandro said. "And I also request a personal bodyguard from EPUA. Females are currently not in line." He looked at Johanna. "Is it alright if your bodyguard will be a male? He will only have to stay with you and accompany you everywhere."

"Yes, sir." Johanna nodded.

"You don't need to be too formal or too polite. We are friends when we aren't at work." Alessandro smiled at her. Johanna couldn't help but stretch her lips a little bit.

"He's right," Keira said. "You have a spare room in your penthouse?"

"I do," Jo answered.

"Then, it's settled."

Keira checked the time.

"Where are those two old people that are supposed to be here before dinner?" She mumbled.

"We are home!" Alex shouted.

"Speaking of the two devils." She waved at them as their parents greeted them. Karmina also greeted Johanna warmly like a daughter.

"I already spoke to the interior designer and they will work it out by tomorrow," Karmina told Keira and kissed her head.

"Thanks, mom."

"Since, you are selling the penthouse and closing the villa. I planned on sending out two maids to help Johanna in her home."

Johanna's eyes widened. She didn't expect this. To have a family again.

"Mrs. Del Carlo, you don't have to."

"You are my adopted daughter." Karmina smiled at her. "You and Keira are sisters. I have to take care of you too."

Her heart melted and her whole body almost melted.

"Mom is right." Keira winked at her.

"Well, I'll rest a bit and think of dinner. What do you guys want?"

"I want cordon bleu," Keira suggested.

"I'll eat anything," Alessandro said. Johanna was silent.

"And Jo?" Karmina asked.

"Anything,"

"Then, I shall prepare your favorites."

Alex sat with them while Karmina went to the kitchen.

"So, how's the case?"

"I started telling the maids to pack up everything Margarette owns and sent it to her apartment."

"She had an apartment?" Alessandro asked, confused.

"Anthony bought it for their meeting place," Alex mumbled and the maid came up to give him tea.

"It seems like you are changing your lifestyle." Alessandro noticed as he looked at the tea that his father was holding.

"Tea is good for health rather than coffee. Right?" Alex winked at his son.

"If you say so," Alessandro shrugged and glanced at his wife who was busy reading a few documents.

The doorbell rang and soon, the maid came with a bulky-handsome tall man. He bowed his head.

"Miss Del Carlo." The man greeted. "I'm from EPUA, Agent Mimosa sent me here."

Alessandro was familiar with the code names and Agent Mimosa was Sabrina's code name during the mission while Dark Lord was the name of the founder of Chairman of the Organization. He noticed the small champagne bottle keychain on his backpack.

"Champagne," Alessandro said and approached him as he extended his hand.

"Mr. De Alegre," The man acknowledged. "I'm sorry that I arrived late, but I had found few resources for the investigation." He removed his gloves and slid them to the side pocket of his backpack. He accepts Alessandro's greeting with a handshake.

"It's alright. We are having our little conversation with regards to that." He gestured to Johanna as Johanna extended her hand. "She's the one that you are going to guard." The man's eyes were always neutral and he greeted Johanna and then Keira and Alex. Alessandro gestured to the seat beside Johanna. He sat down after removing her backpack.

"What should we call you?" Keira asked, with a playful smile. The man was handsome enough to catch her attention but not as attractive as her husband. She's sure that he and Johanna looked perfect at each other. Or maybe, Keira felt like she wanted to play cupid at the moment.

"Call me Conrad." He said as he pulled out envelopes from his backpack and then a tablet. "Here are the footage that they couldn't recover in the area." He said. "The guards in the subdivision said that a person from the house confirmed that they have visitors. It's a female voice."

"It must be Bonnie," Johanna said. "She's the only female in the house beside Louise."

"And they were also paid not to say a thing," Conrad said.

"You must do extreme things to make them speak," Keira said with a grin.

"Not at all." Conrad chuckled.
