The Billionaire's Kept Woman-Chapter 29 - Gemstones

After two weeks of honeymoon, they finally went back home. There was a day in a week that she had to attend the judging session online. Then, two times a week, Alessandro has to deal with things in the company online and attend meetings while she is sleeping. It was all, sex and sex and shopping. That she even has to consult a doctor for her pills. It was tiring but exciting. He loves their vacation and visits a few places. She loves it too and she was happy.

"Mom!" Keira shouted as she rushed to her mother who was attending to the flowers in the garden. She hugged her tightly as she received lots of kisses from her mother.

"My baby girl. Did you have fun?" Karmina asked as she patted her head. Keira who had teary eyes nodded at her mother. For Karmina, her daughter is the cutest girl that she ever saw. She looked up at the upcoming man with Keira who hugged them behind Keira and kissed Karmina's forehead.

"It's good to see you playing around, mom." He said playfully. Karmina laughed and patted his head.

"I should prepare some food for the two of you."

"Mom, it's fine. I can do it. Besides, you shouldn't get tired." Keira said and nudged Alessandro who stepped back.

"Okay, the maids can prepare the food," Alessandro said and patted Keira.

"How's the honeymoon?" Karmina asked. "Your dad visited me yesterday."

"Well, it's good." Alessandro laughed as Keira flushed and pushed him away.

"That's good to know. Go and change." Karmina waved them off as Alessandro carried her inside the house to their room.

Keira was in a big thought. Honeymoon? Are they married? And even her mother also mentioned their honeymoon. He gently put her on the bed as he removed his shirt.

"Ales,"

"Hmm?" He glanced at her.

"I want to see the contract."

"What contract?" He asked as he unbuckled his pants in front of her.

"The contract I signed that night. After you took my virginity?"

He stopped and stared at her lonely eyes. She tried to conceal it but still, he could easily detect it.

"You mean, the marriage contract?"

"Marriage contract?" She mumbled.

"Yes, we got married that night." He patted her head as he took his shirt and went to the walk-in closet. She removed her shoes and followed him. He opened a drawer and gave two marriage licenses to her. She opened it and stared at it. There's the small key on her marriage license.

"Why?"

Alessandro was worried about her breakdown. But he had given her enough time to sink it all. He had given and showed his love for her. He stepped forward, leaned his forehead to her head, and placed his hand over her head.

"Because I promise to marry you on the same day that I'll take your virginity."

"Promise?" Her eyes are teary. "What are you to me?"

"I am your love." He said softly. "You belong to me and I belong to you." He reached her locket. "Isn't it enough that I show you how much I love you, even after all these years?" He asked softly.

She bit her lip and pushed him gently. He let her step back a little.

"Did mom know?"

"Yes,"

She sighed and stared at it. It's one of the things that she's fantasizing about while she was lying down with him, naked and tangled. She pressed her clenched fist to her head. It's aching.

"Love?"

Love? The same voice. The same tune. It echoes in her head. The boy who called her that.

She felt a hand-scooped her jaw as she looked up at him. Her eyes were already covered with tears as they rolled down her cheek.

"I'm confused."

"I'm sorry." He wrapped his other hand to her waist as he leaned his forehead to hers. "I'm sorry…" He sucked some air and hugged her tightly. He felt hurt whenever he saw her crying like this. Her eyes were full of confusion, questions, and loneliness. "I only love you… I couldn't move on after all these years. I kept searching for you… until that night. Seeing you in that cage full of men drooling over you… it pains me." He felt his heart clenched tightly.

Remembering that night. He knew that she was scared. He couldn't even breathe that night. He wanted to ruin everything inside that hall and take her away.

She burst into cries as she wrapped her arms around him and shoved her face to his chest.

"I don't want to be your mistress anymore…"

"You aren't my mistress…" He patted her head. "Calm down, my love…"

For Keira, she suffered from emotional pain. Those days she had to wait for him at home. Those days that she thought that she's a kept woman. Or a mistress that can't be exposed to anyone. Those days… she fell in love with him, so easily as she knew him. But the truth is, they are really for each other. Keira was still confused but there were flashes of memories with him. It all shows his love for her.

He took her to the sofa and sat her down. He knelt in front of her as he wiped her tears. Yet, it kept on rolling down her cheek. She's still adorable. She's still beautiful.

"Hey, love. Calm down."

She hiccuped and rubbed her chest. He stood and approached the small fridge just outside the walk-in closet. He grabbed a bottle of water and gave it to her. She sipped on it and sighed. He waited for her to calm down until she could open up the locket. That came from the pocket of their marriage license. She opened the locket and a stone fell to her skirt.

"A gem?" She asked as she took the aquamarine and raised it.

"Well," He sighed. "You said that you wanted to design your ring when you were eighteen. You only told me to give you a stone. You don't mind if it's a fake or not…" He stood and went to the corner as he opened a secret cabinet on it. He took a rectangular jewelry box and kneel one knee and opened it.

Her eyes dilated at the different types of stones. But all of it is gems. Small to bigger sizes. She couldn't breathe for five seconds thinking about how much it all costs. A billion? There are diamonds, chrysoberyl, tanzanite, pearls, sapphire, emerald, ruby, amethyst, and moonstone.

"That's why I spend my years collecting this stuff. Aquamarine gemstones always remind me of your beautiful eyes, like the sea. If you want, you can just choose from here and design your ring."

"That's thoughtful and expensive of you." She sighed. This man is something. Why would he collect gems just for a single ring? But still, her heart felt like it's getting bigger. She's happy. He chuckled as he reached her chin and kissed her lips.

"So, can we put our wedding rings on? Or should we plan for a wedding first?"

She giggled and shook her head.

"We can just put the rings on. Let's plan the wedding some other time?"

"Hmm, if you say so."

"That's mine, right?" She pointed to the box. He chuckled and nodded. She put the aquamarine on the jewelry box as she closed the locket and put the key on the box. "Let's make love…" She said softly.

He closed the box, quickly put it back on the secret cabinet, and closed it. He removed his shoes and his pants since he's been half-naked all this time. They make love on the sofa inside their walk-in closet. This time, she's the one who led it. Alessandro never felt so good. His wife became bolder this time. She was initiating everything. She's a goddess.

"L~love…" he mumbled as he gripped the sofa, scratching it. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

"You are so noisy." She giggled as she kept on riding him.

"You were never like this~~ shit!" He groaned and held her waist to meet her thrust.

Keira was laughing while Alessandro was lying down under her. He looked drained at the moment. Like they had five rounds of lovemaking for two hours. But they only did it once this time.

"Why? Why are you suddenly like an animal? A sex goddess?" He mumbled.

"That's because wives should be better in bed than mistresses."

"You were never a mistress." He caressed her chest. "But if you want a little play, we can act like lovers only. I will purchase a house in the city where we can meet each other secretly."

"Nah, that's time-consuming." She pulled out from him as she watched the milky thing coming out from her.

"Make sure to take your pills every day, love. We have lots of things to clean up in the Golden Age." He sat up and kissed her lips. "And we need to catch up on each other."

His kiss goes down to her neck and her chest giving her red kiss marks. She pinched his sides as he stopped and grinned at her.

"Your dad is asking for a grandchild and yet we are using protection." She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Don't worry about dad. He's getting old."

He brought his feet on the floor and carried her while her legs were around his waist.

"We need to take a quick shower." He mumbled as he kissed her cheek.

He took her to the shower area and closed the glass door. Then, he took her ponytail and tied it in a messy bun.

"So, in the past have we done this~~"

"Nope." He shook his head. "You were a virgin when you decided to sell it in the auction…"

"Err~~"

"Why did your hair get too short?" He asked. "It used to be under your waistline."

"I sold it." She mumbled.
