The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 200 - Harmony

Keira kept playing the cello to get that perfect melody. Her father was accompanying her with the piano so they could put a beautiful melody on it. On the other hand, Keira's husband was strumming the guitar. They were composing it all together.

"Have a break," Karmina said as she served them hot tea and tacos. They were surprised when Johanna entered with the pets and she sat down and started eating tacos.

"Uh, you shouldn't be here," Keira told her.

"I want tacos too."

"But you can't because we are making a song. It's supposed to be a surprise."

"Pfft! It's not like I won't be able to hear it during the wedding."

Keira rolled her eyes and shrugged.

"Okay, whatever." Keira sat beside her and patted her tummy. "I'm gonna be a godmother."

"But you are already an aunt."

"Yeah, I know." She snuggled with Johanna. "Let's plan for your wedding. Okay?"

"No." Johanna creased her brows. "I am not up for my wedding."

"Come on, you already accepted his proposal."

Johanna pushed Keira's face away from her and moved away.

"Love, stop teasing her," Alessandro said. He checked his phone and frowned. "Oh, damn. I just received a message from Ian. His rest house has been surrounded by assholes who are Tracey's rich friends."

"Is he alright?" Karmina asked. Alessandro laughed.

"Why wouldn't he? He has lots of guns in the house. Anyway, he shared how Tracey hit the guy with the baseball bat. I think he was too happy to share it."

"That ass. How can he be happy in that kind of situation?" Henry grumbled and watched the video that was sent to Alessandro. "Yeah, he can take care of himself." He said and brushed it off. "So, darling. How about your wedding?" Henry asked Johanna to tease her. "We will put up a disco ball if you want."

Keira giggled.

"We will get wasted too!" Keira exclaimed like she's doing an announcement.

Karmina and Alessandro looked at each other as they shook their heads.

"Babe," Connor knocked and opened the door. "Babe, I'm going to Leon's."

"Yeah, sure, go ahead."

"I will be back in two hours."

Johanna waved him off as Connor also mentioned to Henry and Karmina about him leaving to show respect.

"What's with Leon?" Henry asked Connor.

"Well, Bull brought his girl who was injured. I will search about these gangsters that are after the girl so it will take a little longer." Connor answered as he scratched his head.

"Take care, darling." Karmina waved at him. He waved and left.

"No kissy stuff?" Henry and Keira asked Johanna at the same time.

Then, Alessandro just realized that they acted the same like they were twins. But that's also because they are a father-daughter tandem.

<><><><>

The time that she woke up, Bull helped her put something on from his closet. Then, Leon treated her bruises and checked her nose if it was broken. But luckily, her face wasn't broken but there are still a few bruises.

"Look, I'll set up the x-ray in my clinic. Will that be okay with you?" Leon asked the girl.

Maxine looked at Bull or he called himself Terrence as he nodded.

"Don't worry. He'll heal you and he's also a certified doctor. He will write up a medical certificate for you. Tomorrow, you don't need to work and just rest~~"

"No." She shook her head. "Terrence," She held his arm. "I don't want you to get involved in my problem. You saved me many times but this is the last time."

"You are quite stubborn, are you?" He smirked as he reached her chin. "You are safe here and I will make sure to protect you."

Maxine obeyed Bull and she underwent a few tests. She didn't expect that the big house would have a clinic, also a CT-scan machine and MRI machines, and also X-ray machines. Everything was handy and she felt like she's in a hospital. Then, the man Leon prescribed medicines for her and even provided ones for her. He said that she needs a break from work and Bull will probably have it sorted out by tomorrow.

Bull was away for a few moments, but then, Leon escorted her to the kitchen where the big guy was cooking for them.

"It's a good thing that you are here," Leon said and hugged Bull from behind like they were lovers. Maxine was completely shocked but then, Bull pushed him.

"Go and call Violet. Check on her." Bull grumbled and put the delicious soup in front of her. He also had meat and rice and an ice tea. The boys settled down and she waited before they could say that she could eat. "Eat, Maxi. Feel at home." Bull said softly.

"Yes, just feel at home," Leon told her. "This is the first time that you brought a girl, bro," Leon told him.

Maxi felt completely embarrassed or rather shy but then, Terrence A.K.A Bull reached her hand and smiled at her. Her heart goes with this sound of 'badum~badum'. She never saw a handsome bulky man who was so gentle. And the man with him was less bulky but he's tall and handsome too. But there's no comparison to Terrence even though he has a scar on his face.

"Eat more, Maxi," Bull told her.

She nodded and obeyed him. Leon even took out the special dessert while calling someone over the phone. He looked happy and even said 'I love you' toward Violet but Violet always hung upon him.

"Violet doesn't love me!" Leon said dramatically.

"We knew that she didn't love you. Don't be too surprised." Bull said without showing many expressions but as Maxi watched them, they were hilarious.

Bull takes her to the movie room and lets her choose a movie while he makes a phone call in front of her.

"I was just checking on you. Yes… Connor will handle it… Violet, you can't over yourself. Okay? Bye…"

Maxi doesn't want to ask but she's curious about who Violet was. He turned to her and patted her head.

"Violet is our comrade… more like a sister to us. I am currently protecting her because she's pregnant."

"Oh," She nodded and took out the movie that she always wanted to see.

"Avengers End Game?" he asked. She nodded at him.

He put it on and played it. Then, he turned off the lights and reached for her hand.

"Since we are alone, are you going to tell me about those people?"

She gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"You nearly die."

"You are the one who nearly died with a gunshot. Just~~who are you? How can you catch a bullet and how~~"

"I'm an ex-army. I now work in an organization." He said. "I didn't tell you this because it's confidential. I can't tell you further about my work, Maxi. But are you still willing to be with me?"

She looks at him and hesitates.

"Do I look like a monster?" He asked again. Every woman thought of him like that. She shook her head and reached his scar.

"You are handsome, bulky, and gentle. You are the first man that ever saved me and approached me. I am the one who isn't worthy of you. I look ugly…"

"You are not ugly." He reached her face and kissed her forehead. "Now, tell me, Maxi. This is the only way so I could protect you." He watched as Maxi hesitated for a while but he wanted to know everything so Connor would have an idea. "Is this also connected in the bar?"

She nodded at him.

"It's a gang group. My~my brother owes a lot of money to them and he sold me off in that bar to their boss. When I had escaped, they kept on visiting me in the restaurant and~~that's when they wanted to kill me. I don't know what happened to my brother anymore…"

"What's the name of the gang?" He asked as he carefully grazed his fingertips to her jaw. She gulped a little and held his hand over her cheek.

"Snake Eye."

"Hmm," he nodded at her. "Stay here for a while."

"But I have to work to pay them~~"

"I will do it."

"No." She quickly pulled away. "Terrence. I can't be dependent on you."

"I'll clean them up anyway." Bull said without giving her a chance. Seeing her nearly got raped… made him furious and with the mark of bruises, he won't just sit down and wait. He will clean it up slowly. He exhaled and held her hand as they watched the movie. Then, Leon came with hot tea and her medicine.

"I told you not to forget your medicine. These are pain killers and it will give you a nice sleep." Leon said.

"Thank you, Leon." She said and took it all at once and gulped on the water. "Avengers End Game. I can't wait to watch these with others." He sat down with popcorn and extended it to Maxi but she shook her head.

The movie started and in the middle of the movie, Maxi fell asleep. That's when Leon and Bull make a move. Bull took her to his room and he left Leon's mansion to deal with those assholes who hurt his girl.

"Okay, Bull. How do you want us to deal with these assholes?" Connor asked. "Not to mention that they punch your girl."

"Don't mention punching. I will clean them up."

"Yeah, sure. Viper already had all of the locations. Also, I found her brother drunk on the sidewalk and got beaten. I already sent him to the hospital."

"Thank you, Con."

"Sure thing!"
