The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 117 - Teddy Bear

Alessandro relaxed when he arrived home and sat on the sofa waiting for the dinner to be set up. Her wife was already lying on the sofa with her feet over his lap while she's checking social media. She twists her ankle to insist to massage it. He put his hands on her feet and started massaging them while watching the television.

"Well, I think they are doing well," Keira said. Karmina put her tea on the table and sighed.

"The two seemed to be having fun in this new house. But unfortunately, we can't visit the house." She mumbled.

"Let them have their moment," Alessandro smirked.

"I already set up the gifts for them. To spice up their relationship." Keira said and Alessandro looked at her. He knew well how his wife's mind works and they high-five.

Karmina shook her head. She knew that it was something crazy. These couples are always up for crazy things and crazy stuff. Last time, when they were young, they crossed dressing and she wore his clothes while Alessandro wore her clothes. She still had photos of them as their Halloween costumes. Then, the next thing they do is a couple of yoga and other extreme things that end up both of them having a fracture.

"Just what gift did you set up for the two?" Karmina asked.

Keira bit her tongue and although they were all adults, she didn't want to tell her what she bought since it's quite embarrassing.

"Well?" Karmina waited for Keira.

"It's uh~~some romantic movies."

"You mean porn than romantic movies?" Karmina raised her brows.

"Mom, they're romantic movies." She lied.

"So, it's not porn but something else?" Karmina kept interrogating her.

Alessandro snickered as Keira kicked his hands.

"It's romantic movies, like The Notebook, Last Time, Best of Me. I swear."

"You are lying dear," Karmina stated as Alessandro burst out into laughter.

"I think they bought them some pleasurable sex toys. It's one thing to spice up a relationship." Alex approached them with his glass of water. Alessandro kept on laughing. "I am right!"

"Sex toys?" Karmina frowned at her daughter.

"What?" Keira raised her hands. "It's not like they are kids!"

"Hmm," Karmina glared at her daughter.

"Does it include bondage?" Alex asked Keira.

She then glared at her husband who kept on laughing while holding his stomach.

"No! Dad, please!" She hissed at them. "But, maybe I did." She scratched her head. She just bought all of the things that have that five stars review.

"That's a good homecoming, gifts," Alex said.

"It's more of a honeymoon stuff," Alessandro said. "They aren't even married or engaged yet."

Keira kicked his arm.

"Ow!" Alessandro hissed.

Once she organized the pantry and the fridge, the telephone on the wall started ringing and she reached it and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, darling! I set up numbers on the wall. One for the living room, two for the master's bedroom, three for kitchen, four for the hallway."

"Okay," Johanna looked at the ingredients. "So, what do you want to eat?"

"We are both tired. How about take-outs?"

"Sure."

"Dressed up first!" Conrad said cheerfully. "I am in your room."

"My room?" She asked.

"Yeah, we have two master's bedrooms. Yours and mine."

She hung up and went upstairs and found two doors open. The doors are just next to each other and she noticed how it was far away. She peeked on the first one with a manly type of bedroom. More like black and blue then, she went to the other one. Red and black.

"Nice choice of colors." She said. He pointed her clothes on the four-poster bed. "And this looked like a queen bed." She commented.

"Of course, you are my queen." He grinned at her.

She only shrugged as she stripped her clothes and changed them in front of him. He only dropped his body and watched her strip.

"Where are the rest of my clothes?" She asked as she put her denim shorts on.

"I'll organize it for you." He told her.

"You don't have to."

"You are tired, darling." He got up in front of the bed and gave her a white converse. "We have the same shoes!"

She tilted her head, quizzical on why he would buy the same shoes… more like a couple of shoes.

"I don't know where this is going." She mumbled.

"Just put it on with these adorable bear socks."

She creased her brows at the bear socks. Now, she would look like a child.

"Let's go to the mall. There's a pizza restaurant there somewhere."

She put her socks on and he helped by putting her shoes on and tying up the laces. To her surprise, he even carried her like a sack of rice and took her downstairs like she's just like a feather to him. He set up the alarm and they left the house using his SUV. She just realized that he has at least three cars except for the van that he borrows and there are three types of motorbikes.

"You are unemployed but you surely are living a luxurious life." She commented.

"Yeah," He nodded at her. "I can give you a luxurious life." He winked as he pulled out the SUV from the driveway as the gate closed.

"I don't need a luxury life. I have my job."

"You can quit your job and yet I could still give you a luxurious life." He grinned.

"You are surely energetic." She shrugged. "So, why did you quit EPUA? Or is it because of me that they kicked you out?"

"I resigned from EPUA to remove all of my records. Assassins could be after me too."

"It's because of me." She looked at him with a boring look.

He only patted her head for a while as he kept on driving. Then, suddenly he murmured.

"I will do everything for you."

Johanna stared at him. She heard him clearly although he said it in a low voice.

"You don't even know me and we just met like weeks ago."

"Yeah," he grinned at her. "So what?"

She snorted and shook her head.

"You are annoying."

He only grinned and patted her head while driving with one hand. They reached the mall in ten minutes which they could have reached in five minutes. However, there was traffic nearby and there seemed to be a lot of shoppers. Once they had their parking, they quickly used the elevator to the main entrance of the mall. Then, they walked around, like a normal couple as he browsed something on his phone.

"I found the restaurant."

"Do they have vegetable salad?" She asked.

"Uh, diet?" He asked.

"Yeah, maybe."

He pulled her closer to him. Then, they went through a pizza restaurant that also serves salad. So, they had their take-out that would take twenty minutes. The rest of twenty minutes was going around. Like a real date, he bought her a teddy bear which she frowned about. She didn't like teddy bears but somehow, she had a few of them back when she was little. She just remembered about it at this very moment. She doesn't have that many memories of her parents and the sibling that she rarely sees. But they are gone now and she's living alone.

"It's adorable." He told her. She only looked at the big paper bag where the teddy bear was hidden. She didn't care about it that much. "Come on, don't be like that." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "Just act like a real girlfriend."

"Pfft, we aren't even real."

"We could be." He pinched her cheeks as they went back to the shop and picked up their food. "Don't be grumpy." He kissed her temple as they entered the elevator.

They reached the parking lot. Then, they walked to the slot where their car was sitting. But on their way there, a man was standing in the middle and Conrad stepped forward and hid her behind his back. The man takes heavy steps. Johanna peeked through Conrad's arm and noticed that the man's other legs were a little uneven from the way he walked.

"Conrad." The man speaks that sent shivers through her body.

"Victor," Conrad mumbled. The man took out a small knife. His emotionless cold eyes met him. "Not here, please," Conrad begged firmly as he kept Johanna behind him.

"Who's the girl?" The man titled his head and smiled in a sinister way.

"Don't you dare touch her?" Conrad threatened.

"Why not?" Victor asked. Somehow, Johanna felt like the man was being controlled. Is he the Killing Machine? "I just want to make friends."

"Did they tell you to show up here?" Conrad asked.

"No." Victor shook his head innocently. "I somehow had an off day and I was walking around and saw you having fun while shopping. I would happily join, but it seemed like the two of you were leaving."

"Why are you doing this?" Conrad asked.

"Because I have to. You killed me, didn't you?" Victor grinned.

"You ask me to. And I fail you." Conrad gritted his teeth. "I'm sorry that I didn't kill you, Victor. I just couldn't. Your sister is waiting for you, you said that to me. Yet you begged me to kill you."

Victor's eyes turned cold. Cold as ice. Something might have stirred up his memory.

"Please," Johanna stepped forward as she covered Conrad. Although her heart was pounding because she was scared, she still faced the man. She saw the changes in his eyes. "They are controlling you and they wiped out a few of your memories. Didn't they? If you learned the truth after you killed your friends, I am sure that you'll be in more pain."

"Jo," Conrad growled and pulled her as she dropped the paper bag of the teddy bear.

Victor's hand started shaking as he stared at the teddy bear.

"Leave now," Victor said coldly.

Johanna hesitated to pick up the teddy bear, but Conrad quickly took it and dragged her away. The man screamed and when Johanna turned her head, the man was suffering as he held his head.

"Jo!" Conrad growled and pulled her.
