The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 189 - Ians Mission



Chapter 189 - Ian's Mission

Two days ago,

Since it's hard to take Victor from the facility all Ian did was to dress up. He's also part of the Intel and they have people as spies in there to watch over Victor. Currently, Victor is isolated. He also has a single camera pointing to him and a few apparatus. All of their cameras had a microphone so, they might hear what he's about to say.

He leaned over to wipe his body. Victor opened his eyes and Ian smirked.

"Victor." He mouthed to him. "If you want to see Viola and your child, you have to act like you are in control. Hannah Grace is also waiting for you."

Victor's eyes dilated and Ian stopped his chest so he wouldn't move. He continued moving his lips as Victor read it.

"You are their pawn, Victor. If you won't gather yourself, I'll take Viola and your child."

Victor was groaning and seemed to resist an urge to kill. But he calmed down when Ian smiled.

Then, Ian continued with the job that he should do and then left the facility. He made it out safely and after cleaning his footage from there, Ian started searching for a laboratory. It should be away from people and underground. The Dragon Empire had lots of laboratories that had been abandoned, so he needed to ask for their approval of using it. Besides, the Dragon Empire was also helping with the EPUA to find the right antidote so they could fix it. Now, this is even harder.

He needs more days before going to see Tracey. Violet has been pushing her for a while now. It must be an emergency and so, for a few days, he had gathered up the apparatus that Violet needed. That also includes the machines for testing.

Present Day,

Ian had thought that everything in that laboratory wasn't finished yet. He'll probably check on it this coming weekend. Besides, Violet was currently busy in the office. He shifted his thoughts to Tracey who was currently praising her employees for the job well done. They don't need to hand out flyers since Tracey has been working on the advertisement. She also received a big discount from the Golden Age and that company creates beautiful advertisements and marketing strategies.

"I'll come back this afternoon," Tracey told them.

"Yes, ma'am."

Tracey took out her phone and ordered them food using a credit card. Then, Ian escorted her back to their car.

"You got a good spot here," Ian said. "And where is that pastry shop that you are talking about?"

"It's just right around the corner." Tracey pointed it out to the shop that has that big brand.

"That's your family business?" He asked.

"Nah, that's my investment. From my pocket." Tracey told him.

"Rich kid." He patted her head. "If we date, would it hurt?" He asked out of nowhere that made her turn to him.

"What?"

"Let's date."

Tracey sighed and shook her head.

"Ask me that again after you are over Viola."

"I am." Ian grinned. "I only promised her safety and her fiance's safety."

Tracey stared at him for a while and he reached her hand and held it.

"Come on, babe. I promise you a yacht and City of love…" He grinned at her. "If you want, I could buy you the whole building."

"You don't have to bribe me just to date me. We are already sex mates."

She was right though. Even though Ian still loves Viola he won't be able to call her name whenever he had his orgasm while inside Tracey. There's no complete atonement and he's still working on it. But is it bad that he wants to move on to another and try to love someone else? He has been lonely for so long and so hurt for so long. Maybe there will be a time that Tracey will reject him. Would he feel hurt?

He turned the car around and checked the parking spot. Then, he holds her arm and takes her to the restaurant. Although they weren't dressed well for it, they still entered and had their reservation in the very corner. It's safer that way. They ordered their food and Ian noticed that she's uncomfortable. Their food hasn't been served but maybe it was because of what he said a while ago.

"Let's eat and forget what I said to you earlier." Ian looked around and felt that they were safe.

"Do you mean it?" Tracey asked. He nodded at her and extended his hand.

"Let's try?"

Private Resort, Palawan

It's been a while since Karmina and Henry have alone time in a private resort. She's never been happy to have this time alone with him. He doesn't have to worry about the internet or her children. They are adults and two of their children were their baby sister's protector. It's been a while since she also felt relaxed and so happy like this. It felt like their third honeymoon after a very long time of not having one.

"So, you talked to Alex?" Henry asked.

"Yes, I did. I am sure that he understands."

"Hmm," Henry nodded. There's no glimpse of jealousy from him. He's also open-minded. This is what Karmina loved about Henry. "Poor guy. I am sure that he'll find someone that he truly deserves."

"I hope so." Karmina shrugged. "So, this place?"

"I bought it," Henry said. "It's secluded and we have enough food stocks also, there are security cameras around and internet access…" He reached for her hand and kissed it. "Plus with my beautiful wife."

"You are trying to charm me again." Karmina laughed.

"Let's stay for two weeks and let's check our house."

"Our house?" Karmina creased her brows.

"I gave the house to Harvey and Mitch." He told her.

"Oh, so that's where they are staying."

"We need to check for the wedding too." He kissed her knuckles again.

"Hmm, will you be there?"

Henry stopped for a while.

"I can't appear in front of Keira yet."

"But, you have to." She creased her brows.

"Give me time, my love. You know why I can't show up in front of her."

Karmina scoffed.

"What are your other excuses?"

"I don't know if I could take it if she cries in front of me. She's my little girl." Henry said.

She knew that her husband has that kind of weakness toward their baby girl. Although she's not a baby anymore, he still has that weakness.

"Hey, you have to. Your baby girl is currently stressed out with everything around her. So, my dear, at least show your face to her."

Henry was still in deep thought. He indeed missed his princess and maybe his wife is right. He has to see her at least. However, he doesn't know what to say. His little stubborn Princess… he missed her dearly.

"Alright,"

Seeing that beautiful smile from his wife relieved all of his anxiety. Henry also had thought about it for days and he had more days to be with his wife. Then, he thought again; 'what if he might not be able to hug his little princess? What if, by the next day, he might die?' Then, he had decided. He will have to see them first.

"Next week," Henry said. "I'll meet them."

"They will be very happy, I am so sure of that." She told him.

"Then, we must go inside to continue with our honeymoon." He declared as he sat up.

Karmina laughed as she nodded. She sat up, slid her feet to her slippers. She wagged her feet to remove the sand and the couple went back inside their house.

2 Weeks Later

Johanna was currently flipping the pen on her fingers while thinking of something to eat. She doesn't want to scold Connor later. She was always specific about the foods she likes. Plus, she always feels lethargic and she wondered why Violet didn't feel it. Her stomach was bigger than Jo. She sighed and turned her swivel chair to Connor who looked so busy with the computers.

"Babe, I'm going to get my snack."

Connor froze and turned to her.

"What? No…" He shook her head. She took her fountain pen and lifted it.

"I need to walk."

Connor sighed and took out a tracker and gave it to her.

"Press it if you are in trouble."

"What trouble could I possibly be in?" She smirked and took her purse. "What do you want?" She hugged him and kissed his cheeks. She understands that he's been sleepless because of work.

"Anything sweet." He kissed her lips. "Just stay close here, okay?"

"I will."

Johanna approached Violet who was busy with her computer.

"I'm going out. Do you need anything?"

Violet turned around to see lots of food on her table.

"Uh, I think I have enough food."

"Okay." Then, she turned to the door. She went to Keira who was mumbling curses.

"Ice cream?" Johanna asked.

Keira stopped cursing and raised her hand.

"Fruit tea too," Keira added.

Got it.

Since it's a hot season, Johanna had her umbrella to protect herself from sunlight. Just when she's about to enter the milk tea shop, she momentarily froze and stared at the man standing by the post. He's wearing a cap and a black leather jacket. But she knew that face so much.

"Papa?" Her heart started pounding.
