Chapter 69 - The Ex-Girlfriend

He was only starting his work when his assistant came in. He looked up at her from his computer and then she bowed her head.

"Sir, there's a woman in the reception. She's insisting that she's your girlfriend."

"Hmm, must be a crazy woman." He chuckled. "Kicked her off. Unless it's my wife. You know my wife, right?"

"Yes, sir." She left and closed the door.

He checked his emails and he's glad that his private phone isn't invaded by that little bitch who was trying to get through him. He momentarily stopped when he realized that his mother-in-law was in the city and the crazy woman was also in the city. He reached for his phone and called the head guard.

"Sent two bodyguards to my mother-in-law." He said. "Make sure that she's safe and you know our subject. Make sure that she won't stand close to her. Understand?" He commanded.

"Yes, sir."

He started his work by reading the emails and replying to them. Then, he started checking the new proposals.

"Sir," Secretary Emerald entered. "Mr. Gabriel Lawson is here."

Alessandro was momentarily puzzled but he nodded at the secretary. Emerald opened the door as the flawless Gabriel Lawson entered. He smiled at him as Gabriel smiled back and extended his arms. He shook his hand warmly.

"What a surprise visit?" He gestured to the sofa as Gabriel Lawson sat down on the left side. He then sat on the other long sofa in front of him. "What would you like to drink?"

"Uh, no thank you. I will be straightforward."

He nodded.

"You've been contacting my wife." He pursed his lips.

"Oh, yes. I've been." Alessandro said casually.

"And what's your business with my wife?" Gabriel Lawson was a straight and possessive man.

"I think you should ask your wife about that. It's too confidential that I cannot disclose any information to anyone." He gave him a bright smile. "I'm a married man, too." He lifted his left ring finger.

He seemed to be surprised by it.

"It's a secret marriage and I think it should be kept."

"I am just concerned about my wife. She's been secretive." Gabriel said. "So, I saw a message from her notification." He shrugged.

"Oh, well. I understand how protective you are. But, I can't say anything about my business with the triplets."

Gabriel nodded.

"But, I assure you. It's not anything intimate. It's just," He stopped and looked at the window. "It's about my wife and a business with the triplets."

"I understand." Gabriel stood. "Well, I have to go back now." He said as he extended his hand. Alessandro stood and shook his hand once again as he escorted him to the elevator.

He reached his phone and checked Sabrina's email about Wendy's movement. He frowned at how Wendy walked around, free from the crimes that she did. She was near to his wife and he knew well what's she's planning. To kill his wife and to every girl who would get in her way. Speaking of every girl on her way, the woman that came up to her head is Louise Madison.

He hesitated on reaching his phone. But then, he remembered the time in the police station that they received threats and while he's making out with his wife in the car. She was exasperated at that moment. He reached for his phone and called her secretary. It was ringing but then she seemed to answer it.

"Madam is currently on the online conference," Johanna mumbled.

"I would like to ask about the progress of Louise Madison's case."

"Well, sir. She received a massive threat." Johanna explained to him everything and now he understands. Even the National Bureau of Investigation intervened. They started with the traces and they found a few ones. But the problem is, they don't know who they are dealing with. "Sir?"

He was screaming inside his head for a few seconds and there's this sound *tik*. He momentarily shook his head and reached the table to lean on.

"Thank you, for the~~information." He hung up and breathed heavily. He couldn't tell the police that it might be his ex-girlfriend. He's sure that they could bribe the police. He's sure that they could bribe anyone.

Wendy has her ways of getting money. She was the heiress of a family in an old rich family like the Mondragon. But the girl was ruined and no one can control her and the billion of money that she had under her name can be used anytime for anything. That includes bribing anyone in the government just to get in her way.

He can't tell the police about Wendy unless he had a big backup and strong evidence. The girl is tacky now and she plans well. She didn't want to get caught easily, that's why she's paying people to do the work.

"Sir, there's another threat to Miss Louise Madison, I think you'll be familiar with it."

<><><><>

Keira's head was aching more than anything now. With the addition of another problem or more like another threat, Keira didn't know what to do. They moved Louise to another rest house but then, she received another. She started thinking that there's someone who was giving the stalker the location. Or maybe, the stalker was inside the circle.

She kept flipping her pen on her fingers as she thought of something to do about Louise. It's not good to keep her in an isolated place then. She sighed and had no choice but to decide.

"So, Madam?" Jo asked as she was waiting for her order.

"Sent her back to her house." She said. "We'll increase more guards."

"Yes, ma'am." She nodded. "But Ma'am, your husband called an hour ago while you were in the meeting. He asked about Louise Madison's case."

Keira tilted her head.

"Hmm, okay. It's fine." She waved her off. "But before that, you must go there first." She stood and took the box that she ordered. "With my Head Guard, we'll plant secret cameras in her house. But make sure that you'll only mention this to Louise. Not even to her assistant or to her manager. Do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am."

That's one way to do it. She won't invade Louise's privacy. She's just doing this just in case that nothing won't happen to Louise before she comes back. Her phone vibrates and was notified that there's a girl who was insisting that she's the President's girlfriend. She frowned as she stared at the girl more. She looked familiar although she had those black shades on.

She dialed her husband's number and he answered after a few rings.

"Yes, love?"

"Who's this crazy woman that claimed to be your girlfriend?" She asked in a cool manner.

"Uh, the crazy woman. I don't want to mention her name. It just made my headaches."

"Hmm, I think you should ban or blacklist her in your facilities."

"I am already on it, my love. By the way, we'll have lunch with mom later."

"That's great. I'll meet you up later. I'm just finishing a few documents."

"Alright, love you."

"Hmm, love you too." She hung up and continued her work.

The time for their lunch, she took her purse and used the private elevator to the parking lot. Her sedan was waiting for her bodyguards. She slid in and checked the email that her husband sent for the gems that she liked. She smiled at the rare stones and she only goes for the cheaper ones. She'll discuss it with her husband and she didn't need to change her wedding ring, but if her hubby suggested it, then she'll have to make a new design.

They picked up her husband in his office. He came out from the private elevator. He smiled as the door of the sedan opened.

"Well, you look pretty." He sat beside her and kissed her forehead. "How do you become that beautiful?" He teased her as she rolled her eyes.

"Why are you saying such a thing to tease me?" She reached his hand and wrapped his arm around her.

"I love you." He kissed her temple.

"Yeah, I know that you do. So, what's our lunch?"

"Mom suggested some French Cuisine. So, I reserved a special spot for us."

"And where is she?" She leaned her head to his shoulder. He pulled out his phone and checked the location through the guard's tracker.

"Almost in the restaurant." He leaned his cheek to her head.

"So, I had thought of the gems. I'll let you know about it once that I see the design for our gown and suit."

He smiled at her lovingly and caressed her hair.

"Anything, baby. Anything."

"I'll wipe out your money." She looked up at him and grinned. He laughed and kissed her nose.

"You have to at least save our babies."

"Yeah, right." She kissed his lips and frowned. "You taste like coffee again."

"So, I'll have energy for later."

She grinned and rubbed his chest. The way she becomes clingy and playful fades all of his tiredness away. She moved closer to him and cling to him tightly, with her arms around him.

"So, later are we up for strolling? I would like to see the park nearby our penthouse."

"Yeah, sure." He patted her head.

"Then, we'll make love after strolling." She smirked at him.

"Stop saying that in the middle of the day. I might not stop myself." He hissed at her but she only laughed childishly.
