The first thing in the morning that Keira did was to check on Louise. She’s the president of the Golden Age and she even called the Chief Manager of the Security Team to make sure that Louise is protected in a certain area. The classified order that she made to him was something that they should keep.

“Madam, here.” Johanna gathered all of the evidence they had. The actual evidence and she creased her brows when there’s a flick of memory that made her head hurt. “President,” Johanna reached her arm.

“I’m fine.” She mumbled as she kept her eyes clothes and tried to remember what she saw. She leaned on her swivel chair and relaxed a bit.

“You can take a break. Should I cancel your meeting at ten?”

“No.” She shook her head. “I’ll be fine.”

Johanna quickly refills her mug with warm water and she takes her medicine from the drawer. She efficiently made her drink it. She relaxed a bit after she drank the medicine and slowly, her head felt relieved. She didn’t want to rely on the medicine. Her doctor told her that if she always blocked those memories in her head, she won’t be able to remember everything. She hasn’t realized yet what she’s blocking inside her head.

She sat up straight and focused on the evidence that Johanna brought.

JUST HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU FUCK MY MAN? WAIT FOR ME, DEAR. I KILL YOU EVEN IN YOUR SLEEP.

“Kill you even in your sleep?” Keira mumbled.

She creased her brows as a flash of memory flicked again in her head.

She was in the garden and her mother is burning something again. After her mother left, she rushed to the tin can and checked the papers that she’s burning. Bold letters were printed on the paper I’LL KILL YOU EVEN IN YOUR SLEEP.

“President?” Johanna called again, worried about her condition.

“Can you set up a two hours appointment with Doctor Sandra Lopez?” She asked her assistant.

“I’ll set it this afternoon at two pm?”

“Great.” She smiled at her and continued with her work. “I’ll keep these. But you have the copy of it, right?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

She nodded at her and let her leave. She sighed and stared at her phone. Her mother knows everything. She should have asked her. But why does she have to keep it from her and also about her accident? She’s having nightmares. She thought that it wasn’t just an accident but her nightmares show that it wasn’t.

After her meeting from ten to eleven-thirty. She received a message from her husband that Tracey was in his office at the moment. She trusted her husband and with simple messages like this to give her a heads up is something sweet. She quickly took her purse and used her private elevator. When she reached her husband’s office using the private elevator, she saw Tracey leaving the office using the employee’s elevator.

Moira greeted her and took her to the office where her husband indeed received a dessert.

“Is that Strawberry Cream Puff?” She asked and approached the table.

“Yes.” He nodded and smiled at her. He stood, expecting to receive a kiss from her but she took the box of cream puff and went to the sofa and started eating one.

She moaned and nodded at the strawberry cream puff.

“Don’t eat this. Okay?” She told him.

“Why not? It’s my favorite too?”

“It’s from Tracey! It might have a love potion on it! I won’t let you have it.”

“Love, you can eat that later. Our lunch reservation is in ten minutes, let’s go.”

“Did you remove your ring?” She asked, noticing his left ring finger. He pulled out his ring from his pocket.

“I have to play along a little bit.” He kissed her lips and licked the cream from her lips.

“She didn’t kiss you?”

“Nope. Not a chance.” He kissed her nose. “Let’s go. And eat that later.”

She put half of the strawberry cream puff on the box and sealed it. She licked her lips and gave her purse to him and he placed a hand at the small of her back as he led her outside to the private elevator. The couple reached the restaurant as the host escorted them to their seats away from people’s eyes.

Tracey was declined again by Alessandro. He didn’t even kiss her. She felt that something wasn’t right. She knew that he’s still seeing the little bitch that didn’t even have a status in this life. She had lunch with her friends but after it, she saw Alessandro with that woman again as he held her intimately, laughed, and smiled at her.

She felt betrayed at the moment. She rushed to them but they already got into the car and left. She growled and approached her car. She drove her car almost reckless, like a wife who is after her cheating husband. However, traffic came and she couldn’t find the car anymore.

She quickly went to her father’s office and found him speaking with her mother. It’s good timing.

“He’s still with that bitch!” She complained to them.

“What?” Mrs. De Novo frowned. “What do you mean?”

“The bitch that was always with him? After I visited him and asked him for lunch, I just found out that they had a lunch date! Can that be more fun?” She told them sarcastically as she sat down and crossed her arms. “Are you still sure about this engagement? Cause if not, there’s someone who should get rid of her! If not, throw her and bribe?”

“Calm down,” Anthony told her as he reached her hand. “He’ll be yours, darling. Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”

“Tracey, don’t show this kind of tantrum to Alessandro or Alexander. Do you understand?” Mrs. De Novo said.

“Yes, mommy.”

“Okay,” She sighed and stood. “Hon, I’m going to take your daughter shopping. You said that the signing will be late at night?”

“Yes, hon.” Anthony kissed her wife’s lips and her daughter’s forehead. “Don’t frown, my dear. Go and shop everything you wanted.”

Alexander deliberately walked across the African Businessman named Mr. Achebe as the host greeted him.

“Mr. De Alegre,” The hotel host called and it caught Mr. Achebe’s attention. He heard his name before and his secretary murmured to him a little about his background including his son as a billionaire who was rising as a Trillionaire. “The room that you reserved, a honeymoon suite for your cousin-in-law?”

“Yes.” He followed the host. “We have new hotel suits here that you would like to check.”

Mr. Achebe watched as Alexander was scanning the tablet for their honeymoon suite. Mr. Achebe didn’t approach him. But he knew that soon, he would approach him. After he reserved a hotel for the agents that he hired, he left the hotel. He knew well that they are planning to do it in the same hotel, so he will have it checked on the same floor as Mr. Achebe.

He went to his son’s office and relaxed a bit while waiting for the time. His son was so busy with paperwork that he didn’t think that his father existed in the room.

“So, how would the two of you like a wedding?”

“I think we already planned it when she turned eighteen.”

Alex titled his head and shrugged at him.

“Dad asked Mom Karmina about it. I am sure that she has the wedding planner book. My wife and I can’t waste a lot of time just because of the wedding. I know that you are bored and busy. You can squeeze it into your schedule, right?”

“Uh,” Alexander had other plans. But perhaps, he could visit Karmina in the villa after he’s done with this main project. “Sure, why not?”

“You and Mom Karmina can bond more and plan lots of crazy things like chasing some chickens,” Alessandro told him, and he knew exactly what his son meant. He’s not good at figurative language but he knows exactly what he wanted to tell him.

“Sure, I think your Mom Karmina and I should also grow more chickens in the villa.”

“Uh, we have chickens in the villa?” Alessandro asked, puzzled.

“Yes, we do! You little brat! Did you buy that villa, took a few animals to feed, and yet you never knew? And how come that we are talking about the real chickens?” Alex scolded him.

He shrugged.

“Well, I am a busy man. Besides, my wealthy friends are ahead of me.”

“Pfft! You don’t need lots of money.”

“I do.” He told him. “It’s for my wife and my future children. So, I’ll have more time to give to them before they even come out of this world.”

Alexander laughed and bounced his head to agree with him.

“Well, I neglect you, didn’t I?”

“Not really.” He grinned. “Well, transferring to that school and meeting my beloved is the best. And I got to spend so much time at their house.”

“And begging for meals.” Alexander scoffed. “You are something.” He shook his head while chuckling. He remembered well how Karmina told him that Alessandro was being too dramatic as he told her and her husband that he couldn’t eat anything during meals while Keira on the other said was holding her laugh.

Then, on the meal with Del Carlo, Alessandro told them dramatically that his father wasn’t feeding him anything because he didn’t know how to cook. Karmina and Keira were laughing so hard at that time and even Henry couldn’t help but laugh along.

“What’s funny?” Alessandro asked.

“I was just remembering a few memories.” He told and stood. “Well, I’ll visit Keira.”

“She’s in her appointment with the psychiatrist.”

“Something happened?” He creased her brows.

“Her psychiatrist will tell me,” Alessandro answered.
