Chapter 379 - Penalty

Kennedy threw the warrant of arrest on Wendy's face. She only laughed and crossed her legs. 

"Is she dead? How about her child?" 

Ken stared at her for a while and he slapped her across her left cheek. She was too shocked and too hurt to even move. 

"I will not let you do that again." He said coldly. "Lock her in this house. She can't go out." She told everyone. Butler Jim approached Wendy with an ice bag while Kennedy spoke with people to do something about the upcoming problem. 

"Let's go." Butler Jim said softly and escorted her. 

Kennedy exhaled slowly and he turned to the female leader of The Serpent who suggested doing it. But they need a sum of money. He gave it to them and in a short time, the warrant was nothing like a piece of paper and there's no police outside their house. He reached his forehead and a man with red hair approached him. 

"Mr. Charles," The man who had that red hair, a snake tattoo on his neck, fair skin, and a charming smile approached him. "So, I heard the one that your sister killed." He took out his phone. "Keira Del Carlo. Isn't she hot?" He chuckled. "Shame that she's dead." 

Kennedy frowned at him. 

"I heard that she has a good voice. Now I understand why Wendy was so obsessed with killing her. I might think that she wasn't only obsessed over her husband. But look, she even spoke Keira in her dreams." 

"Are you~~" Kennedy scowled at him. 

"I'm a psychiatrist." He chuckled. "Her obsessive behavior also includes Keira Del Carlo. She needs to be locked out for too long and at the same time, give the work that would distract her from thinking of those two. No medication can help her. If she only let's go and accepts the fact, she might finally have peace of mind and leave her fantasy." 

"Doctor Gray," Kennedy reached his head. "What should I do? We tried everything but she should be dead or locked away.' 

"Your sister is way too dangerous." Doctor Gray said. "She can't be cured." He turned back. 

The burden of the family is now her burden as the heir. Their other family members don't want to intervene in the dirty underground business. He sighed and nodded his head. 

"Do everything to keep my sister away from any mess, please." 

"You should sleep." He said. "Sleep deprivation will worsen your stressed body." 

"I'm fine." He said and turned back. 

"I have a drug that will help you sleep." He said. "It won't give you bad side effects besides drowsiness." 

Kennedy stopped and thought about it. But the doctor was quite tricky. He walked past him and went upstairs to try to sleep.

Alessandro looked at the case order that was dismissed. He knew that it would happen. With the power of The Serpent, Wendy is always free. Somehow, she can't visit Tracey, or else he might put her more in grave danger. He reached his head as it started throbbing again. He dropped the phone as he moaned in pain. 

Alex entered the room as he tried hard to conceal the headache. 

"Let's go to the hospital. Your headache isn't fun at all." 

"It's fine. I will just sleep this off." 

"How about MRI?" He asked. 

"My doctor checked on me a month ago." 

Alex took out her medicine from the drawer and gave it to him. He drank it, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyes. Alex picked up the tablet from the carpet and placed it on the side table. 

"You shouldn't stress yourself. You need to sleep and you should spend less time on gadgets." 

"My~~" Alessandro was about to speak about his wife but he bit his tongue. 

"I know that you are still missing your wife and it's only been a few days." Alex pulled him and took him to the bed. Then, he tucked him. 

Once Alessandro lay down, he fell asleep quickly and started dreaming. It was too vivid or more like it was a flashback on that cold night. It was a starry one, full moon and they were surrounded by armed men and her wife was being battered by Wendy with a baseball bat. He was screaming on top of his lungs but there was nothing that came out and he was frozen on the same spot. 

He gasped for air when he opened his eyes and he couldn't move. He tried to raise a muscle but nothing happened. He breathed in and out, still thinking of that bad dream. Once he could move, he quickly reached for his phone and called his wife. She answered shortly as her face popped on the screen. 

"Love," Keira smiled but her smile faded. "Why are you crying, my love?" 

Alessandro reached his face and wiped his tears. 

"I-I'm fine." 

"Come on, tell me." 

"It was just a bad dream." He lay sideways and smiled at her. 

"Love, no matter what your dream is. I know that it was a dream of mine. But we will work hard to get on Wendy. It was quite hard to kill her since The Serpent is with her." 

"I want to see you." He mumbled. 

"Ohh," Keira pouted. "We will see each other soon, my love." She sighed and wanted to caress him. "Don't be sad. Do you have a lot?" 

"Hmm," He nodded his head. 

"Okay, how about I sing for you? Oh! I have to tell you something about Kal and Quinn, those babies are superb. Kal can read at that young age! He has a great memory. Quinn was always a snob but Kal loves her so much." 

"Really?" he grinned. "How about our baby?" 

Keira moved the camera and showed her a small bump. 

"This little one will come out sooner or later." She whispered at him. "Like seven more months?" 

"I can't wait." He mumbled. "I hope that everything is perfectly fine before our baby comes out. We will fix this." 

"Yes, my love." Keira sighed and smiled. "I am occupied with babies here. You should get busy too so don't think of me too much." 

Alessandro chuckled and he kissed the screen. 

"I love you." 

"I love you more." Keira winked. "By the way, have you checked on Tracey?" 

"I haven't. I can't go near her." 

"I heard that Wendy already received a penalty. She paid for the damages and concluded that it was an accident. But Ian quickly requests restraining order. If something bad happens to Tracey, Wendy will receive a bigger penalty." 

"That's good to hear." 

"Since Wendy paid a sum of money, I am sure that Tracey will be safer since they will have to lock her up again. I feel bad for her somehow. But she's crazy and she needs to be chained." Keira said without showing a sad emotion toward Wendy. Alessandro loves her sarcasm in every way. 

"Son?" Alex knocked on the door as Keira didn't speak for long. The door opened as Alex peeked at him. "I'm going out to buy groceries. Do you wanna come?" 

Sandro looked at Keira who nodded her head. 

"Okay." He sat up. "Give me a minute." 

"Great, let's have beer and marshmallows outside." 

"Marshmallow?" He raised his brows. 

"Yeah, why not?" Alex chuckled. "Like old times when we are camping in the garden." 

"Okay," Sandro shrugged. 

"Are you speaking with someone?" Alex titled his head. 

"Yeah," Sandro said. 

"Okay," Alex smiled and gently closed the door. 

"Great! Marshmallow! I need to see photos of that." Keira giggled. 

"Sure, love." 

"Oh, I will send you Kal and Quinn's video. Kal was reading a book to Quinn and it was so adorable how Quinn gives a lot of expressions, mostly, a poker face. But I love it." 

Alessandro grinned and nodded her head. 

"Like, Johanna." 

"Yeah." She giggled. "Get ready, your dad is waiting for you. I love you so much and I will send that video." 

"I love you more." Then, Keira hung up. 

Alessandro went to his dresser and stared at his wife's things. He smiled and sighed. He doesn't have to take anything out. Because he will be with his wife. He thought that he was living in a dream every time he spoke to his wife. He reached his wife's beautiful long negligee and touched it. 

"Hmm, I think you need more of these." He mumbled. 

He went downstairs once he was done. His father was already listing up to their maid on what things they needed in the kitchen. The maids will go with them since he was letting them buy things that they need. His father was always like that ever since his mother died. It was what his mom also did for them every month. 

"Let's have smoked barbecue, beer, and marshmallows today." 

They went to the nearest grocery shop and bought everything that they needed. Alessandro already noticed that there were people following them and it wasn't their bodyguard but he remained calm and always stayed with his father. 

"We need this," Alex said. "Minda, get whatever you need. You girls too." 

Alessandro moved closer to the head bodyguard and when he was about to say what he noticed, just in front of them, in the aisle, Wendy smiled.
