Chapter 143 - Unreal

She woke up with a massive headache. Yet she forced herself to get up. She grinned seeing her husband giving her a hang-over drink. She received a kiss on her lips as she thanked him. 

"So, what happened?" She asked. 

"We had crazy sex on the door and woke up everyone," Alessandro answered. She laughed so loud and then she sipped on her tea with a sigh. 

"I was lightheaded but I remember how good it was." She smirked at him. He kissed her forehead and scooped her chin to wipe those smirks. 

"Well, we are quite late now. How about you take a warm bath while I'll get your clothes ready?" 

"Sure, love." She grinned at him. He turned back and she quickly smacked his butt before he took a step. He turned to her and creased his brows. 

"Love, if you kept doing that~~" 

"Please prepare my bathtub." She said and ignored him. She watched him go to the bathroom with a grin. 

It only takes thirty minutes for her to get ready. Although she felt lazy, she forced herself to stretch a little, go to her office and proceed with work. Johanna also looked tired but she managed to complete everything. She managed everything for her. Including her new schedule. Today is the release of Louise Madison's album and currently, everyone is so busy. The preparations were already settled and the party to reminisce Louise's journey in the music industry. They already covered up everything for her reputation although she's dead. 

"Thank you for your hard work, Vanessa." She smiled at her enthusiastic and professional assistant as she handed out a box. "My gift for you." 

Vanessa hesitates but Keira insists and so she takes it. She also opened it in front of Keira. It has a lot of Chanel signatures inside the box and the special paper covering it made her excited. She gaped seeing the latest Chanel purse. 

"Madam, you don't have to." She pouted and reached the bag like treasure. 

One of the women's most treasured items is bags. They would handle it with care. That's why Keira wanted to have one for her as a reward. 

"Thank you so much!" Vanessa exclaimed. "I will wear this later for the event." 

"Sure thing." Keira winked.

Johanna received a hug from Connor. They are in the same office and it was wider and a little crowded for her. However, it's not a bad thing to have a company like Connor. He always hugged her, kissed her cheeks, and cared for her since he knew how busy she was. 

"Babe, just tell me if you are tired." He kissed her neck. "You can take a nap while I take care of things around." 

"I'm fine." Johanna gently pushed his arms. "We are in the office. Stop that." 

"Everyone knows that we are together." He grinned at her as she turned her swivel chair. "By the way, what drink do you want?" 

"Nothing." She stood and tapped his cheek. "Go back to work. I have to massage Keira. I know that she has a hangover." 

"Alright, but you want coffee or something to wake you up?" 

"Yes, please." She kissed her lips lightly and then she left their office. 

Connor exhaled and slumped to his seat. Damn, how is he going to tell her what happened last night? She's drunk and he was a little light-headed. Damn, drunk love-making plus horny hormones. It's the first time that Johanna was screaming like crazy and he was too. Maybe, both of them like it rough. Anyway, he remembered that Johanna didn't mind that she got pregnant. Not to mention that he noticed a few broken condoms last week. 

He blinked for a while and stared at the monitor for a while. The heck! She could get pregnant! An accidental pregnancy? He's doomed! 

After thirty minutes, Johanna came back and glared at him. 

"Where's my coffee?" She asked. He stood quickly. 

"Sorry, ma'am. I'll get it." 

"And buy me some contraceptive pills." She added and started typing on her computer. Connor froze for a while and stared at her. She noticed how he stared at her so she looked up at him and raised her brows. "What?" 

"What if you are pregnant?" He asked. "I mean, I exploded inside you the first time." 

"It's been a month…" She thought for a while. "I already take a PT and it's negative." 

"What if you take too soon? You can't harm our baby." 

She frowned at him. 

"I can't get pregnant, now." She said coldly. 

"It's too late," Connor mumbled. "Babe, I~~Uhhh." 

"What?" She asked coldly. "If you have nothing to say, get me coffee." She demanded. He nodded at her and left the office quickly. 

To think it further, he ordered coffee for everyone and while waiting for it, he went to the pharmacy just across the street. 

"This is so unreal." He mumbled. "Why did she suddenly say that she can't get pregnant? What if my baby was already molding inside her and she took the PT too soon." He sighed and headed back to the cafe. He picked up the coffees and went back as he distributed them. Johanna looked annoyed as her coffee came back too late. 

"What took you so long?" She asked as she sipped on her coffee. 

"Uh, traffic?" He grinned at her. 

"And my pills?" 

He gaped and snapped his fingers. 

"Damn it! I forgot." He looked at the monitor. "Babe, I will go back to work." 

He sat down and checked a few monitors and audios. He checked a few things and listened to them at the same time including the others. Johanna stared at him and turned her swivel chair. 

"13:45, hallway 13," Johanna said and he stopped all of it and turned to her. "Listen to it." 

He nodded and focused on that area. Someone was feeding information to someone else. It's the first time that they feed about the information of the release of Louise's Album. He typed fast on the keyboard and found the owner of the voice. He nodded at his partner and sent it to the security. Since someone already has the lists of possible spies. He sighed and turned to his girlfriend who was already too busy with work.

Somewhere in the virgin mountains of the North of the Philippines. 

Violet woke up in a shabby cabin with bandages on a few places of her injured body. Chameleon smiled at her and extended the drink. 

"This will help you." 

She was confused about why they are in a rainforest. It's cold and raining outside and it seemed like the cabin was as old as her parents. 

"Where am I?" 

"In a place that Harvey now owns." Chameleon said. "You are safer here." He reached her face. "You know what? You should forget about him. Have a new life and…" He sighed. 

She sipped on the tea and pulled the blanket to her left arm. She knew that Chameleon and Bull liked her but she never responded to them with the same affection since all she thought of them was little brothers. She finished her tea and gave the empty mug. He took it and put it on the old wooden side table. 

"Here are your pain killers and water." Chameleon said. "I'll prepare our meal." 

She watched him go to the small kitchen just near the bed and noticed a few wooden boxes. After a few moments, Bull came with more logs and set up a few things near the fireplace

"What's going on?" She asked. 

"This will be our temporary headquarters." Bull said. "We have to renovate this shit. We have to stay dead in front of the Charles Empire." 

"How about our subjects? Keira?" 

"Connor is with her, Harvey, and MJ." Bull smiled at her. I'm currently working on renovating the outside. It's still raining outside and the cabin has lots of holes, however, she wondered why the inside wasn't wet. She peered at the window and noticed that big triangle tent around the cabin while Bull was slowly fixing things. 

"It'll be a little noisy, Violet. Sorry," Bull kept that kind smile and kind act that he always does. "I have earplugs for you." 

"Don't worry," Violet said as she looked outside. There's nothing but them. It seemed like it had been planned. Everything was planned. "Tell me, why am I here?" 

"To save you?" Chameleon answered. 

"And where's Viper?" 

"He's working with Harvey behind the back." 

Violet looked around and on the very old small bed. Like it's the bed of a teenager. She slipped off from the bed although she felt a sort of stinging pain. She's used to that pain. 

She then noticed that something fell from the bed and she searched for it while the two were busy. She knelt on the floor and bent down as she searched for whatever something hard fell on it. Then, she reached on what seemed to be a wooden frame. She pulled it out and frowned at the dusty frame. There's no glass over it but an old photo. She stared at the boy who looked so familiar.
