Chapter 171 - Tricky Fate

Ian has to leave Tracey early but he gave her a letter that he'll be there soon. This naughty boss that he's working on is something really stubborn. So, he went to her office using the secret passage. Harvey even raised his brows to him. 

"What the hell, Uncle!" Harvey exclaimed. 

"Hey, calm down you boy! My little niece wanted to meet me." 

"Oh, fuck!" Harvey was frustratingly face-palmed. "The fuck!" 

Ian was just five years older than Harvey. After Henry's mother died, their father remarried again and had him. Their parents were in their twenties when they got married and had Harvey. And so, he's around thirty. He's also the only brother of Henry. That's why Harvey followed him in the army and then, he was in a special force and was recruited by the Dragon Empire. He already retired to join forces with his nephew to kill the Empire who makes it hard for their family. 

Even the Charles Empire doesn't know about his existence. He's already dead to them. Also, he helped in designing the Golden Age, ever since when his brother told him to protect Keira. 

The time that he reached the last door, he closed it carefully and he came out from the walk-in closet to find Keira reading some documents with her feet over the desk. She raised her head to him, stared at him for a while, puzzled. 

"Hey, baby girl!" Ian exclaimed. 

"What the fuck?!" Keira exclaimed. She put down her feet and put down the document. She walked toward him bare feet. He chuckled while Keira was walking around him. "Uncle?" 

"Yeah." Ian patted her head. Keira crossed her arms with that red angry face. 

"Did you just had sex with Tracey?" 

"I did. She's a pretty girl." 

"But you are old. Like~~ten years…" 

"Hey, Thirty-five isn't old, my dear." He kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. "I need sex and so, I have to use that girl's body." 

"Gross!" She pushed him away. 

"Now, don't worry." He patted her head. "Your Uncle is here to protect you too." 

"And who is giving you money?" 

He only grinned at her. 

"Okay, just tell me if you need some insurance or anything." 

"Don't worry, my dear. Just rule our Empire. I am rich enough to buy pussies." 

"Gross! Don't say those words again, Uncle Gian!" 

"Just call me, Ian. Okay?" 

She sighed and nodded. The door burst open as Johanna glared at Ian. 

"Hey, Jo. It's alright." 

Johanna locked the door quietly. 

"Who is he?" Johanna asked as she had that fountain pen in her hand. 

"He's my~~he's part of the Squad," Keira told her gently. "It's okay… he helped us a lot." 

Johanna stood at ease. 

"If you say so." 

"Hey, Baby Jo. Henry told me a lot about you. I didn't get to meet you when you were young." 

"Papa~~did?" Johanna asked hopefully. 

"Of course," Ian smiled. "You are really unique." 

Johanna nodded her head. 

"Well, I'll be going now." Ian approached Johanna and hugged her. "Be safe always." He whispered to her. Then, he finally left using the secret door. 

Harvey crossed his arms and gave him a scowling look. 

"Hey, look. Your sister is completely stubborn. I can't say no. I'll go now and sleep." He put the vial in front of him. 

"You did well." Harvey grinned. 

"I'll take my break, okay, boy?" 

"Yeah, sure Uncle." Harvey waved off. 

<><><><> 

Keira was still in a dream when she reached home. She couldn't believe that her only Uncle was still alive. She thought that it's only her mom, Jo, and Harvey… but then, there's her Uncle Gian.

"Love!" Alessandro shook her body. "What's going on inside your head? I can't read you." 

"Hey," She pushed him. "You don't have to read me, okay? Now go and fetch something to drink." She waved him off as she went to her Uncle's room. She knocked and soon it was opened. 

"Hey, sweetheart." 

"Hey, dad. I just want to see Mom Fana." 

"Sure thing." 

Alex escorted her to where Fana was. Every night. He stayed down here in a cold place to stay with her during the night. He was trying to say goodbye since this upcoming Saturday will be the day of the funeral.

"It's bad for your health if you stay here every night." 

"I have a heater." Alex pointed to the heating fan. 

"Nice." Keira nodded and she looked at the beautiful flowers. "They are beautiful." She commented. 

"Indeed. It's cold here. That's why it was preserved. I took it four days ago from the garden. She loves daylilies and orchids." 

"Like my mom," Keira said and looked at the beautiful Fana. 

"Fana visited me in my dreams. I have to let her go." Alex said. Keira bit her lower lip. 

"So, is there someone that you fancy?" Keira asked and crossed her arms. It's cold and she's shuddering. 

"Yeah, I like someone," Alex said as he went to the wall to increase the temperature. 

"How can you get through the cold here?" Keira rubbed her shoulders. 

"You see that igloo tent? It's warm there and I also have a warm blanket." 

"Okay," Keira sighed. "Well, Dad. Tell me what I can do for the funeral." 

"Sure thing, my dear." 

Alex escorted her upstairs to his room. And Alessandro entered with a tray of drinks. 

"Mom Mina prepared these for us. Beverages before meals." 

"Thanks, love." Keira took a glass and sipped on it. "I'll go down now." 

"Keira!" Alessandro called and gave the other drink to his father and quickly followed her. "Are you going to tell me, what's up?" He was completely intrigued by her mood. 

"No." She said strongly. "Babe, did you buy the ingredients that I told you about?" She stopped walking so he would catch up. 

"Uh, no." He shook his head as she creased her brows. 

"I'm making a mango graham cake for the preggies! Why didn't you?" 

"Cause, mom bought it already?" he raised his brows. "Let's go downstairs and have our dinner. So we could stretch out a little in bed." 

"Ugh," She shook her head. "The movies are so lame." 

"Well, I asked for a copy of Disney princesses from Connor." He said smugly. 

"Oh," Keira had thought of something about it. "I think Jo already told me about it." 

The two kept laughing on their way to the dining room. Karmina smiled at them. 

"So, what are you guys laughing about?" 

"Nothing mom, just some porno," Keira said casually as Karmina put a hand over her waist. The two laughed and even high five using their free hands. 

"Well, the two of you are adults and I have no say to it." Karmina raised her hands. "Where's Alex?" She asked. 

"Room," Alessandro answered. Then, the two sat down as they enjoyed the fresh beverage that Karmina made to increase their appetite. 

After their dinner, Alessandro and Keira rush to their room as they quickly take a shower and Keira needs twenty minutes to apply her skincare products and have her husband apply lotion on her body. Then, the couple sat on their bed while Alessandro played the movie. It has great music at first but then, the acting was bad… but not the sex part. It looked like they were really enjoying it. Bella from the Beauty and the Beast parody was being held captive by Gaston. 

"Oh, crap," Keira mumbled. 

"Uh, he's not good at thrusting either," Alessandro commented. 

The couple started talking about the flaws of the movie although it was a porno. There's no other relaxation than judging them and making fun of the movie. Keira and Alessandro get along in that way. 

Suddenly, Alessandro remembered the first porno movie they watched. She was so innocent at it and she flushed and covered her face many times. But then, when she got used to it, they kissed and almost did it there. But he stopped himself from doing it with her because they are still young. 

"Love, do you remember when we were like sixteen and started watching porno?" 

Keira creased her brows and thought about it for long. 

"I guess," 

"Well," he moved closer to her and covered the side of his lips as he whispered. "We were touching each other and had orgasms with it.' 

Keira's face flushed in bright red as she covered her mouth. 

"Your dad and mom… also my dad never caught us." 

She giggled and pushed him. 

"Well, let's just watch this boring show and make love later." 

Alessandro grinned. 

"Love, are you serious?" 

She smirked at him. 

"Are you getting turned on by the movie?" 

"I was getting turned on by your declaration." He crossed his arms. "So, what do you want?" 

"Uh, I like that standing position." 

"Oh, pixie… you have wild fantasies." 

She smirked at him. 

"Yeah, I do. And by the way," She moved closer to him. "I already composed a song for your mom's funeral. I would like you to hear it, like tomorrow." 

"Yeah, sure." He nodded. 

"I am still polishing it." 

"Hmm," Alessandro lay down on her lap and held her hand. "Love," 

"Yes?" 

"Is Tracey alright? I heard what happened." 

"Yup. She's alright…" 

"I will go berserk if someone does that to you." 

Keira giggled. 

"I remember that I was being bullied and was caught up in a catfight. You were so angry at them." 

Alessandro had it in his mind as a bad memory. But it's also the time that he confessed to everyone about his feelings toward her and he received a kiss on the cheek from her. 

"I hate them for hurting you." 

"It's the past." She caressed his hair. "I still love you until now." 

"Make sure that that love won't fade until we are old and dead." 

She giggled at him. 

"Yes, love."
