The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 32 - Symphony

It's already twilight when they reached the villa. And the lights along the driveway looked gorgeous like she's in a fairytale. The string lights and different colors were catchy with beautiful trees and light posts. She noticed a car in front of the house.

"Why is dad here?" He mumbled and parked the car in front of the main entrance of the villa.

"Your dad is here?"

"Yeah,"

The valet came and opened the door for her. He got out quickly and took his wife's hand as they walked to the main door. In the hall, his father's laugh could be heard from the foyer.

"Well, it looks like they get along well?" Keira commented as she became curious about his dad and her mom.

"Your dad was close to my dad. They often talked about business." They went to the great hall and found her mother and his father talking about things.

"Oh, the great couple are here!" Alexander exclaimed.

He greeted them warmly as they all sat down on the sofa.

"So, why are you here?" Alessandro asked.

"Well, Karmina invited me for dinner," Alex answered with a playful smile.

"You came without your wife as always," Karmina noted. Alexander chuckled.

"My wife will be very busy while I am away." He smirked.

Alessandro didn't care much about their cold relationship but then he knew that something was going on with their relationship. He never saw them flirted or he never saw his father even give affection to his stepmother. They were in a distant relationship and he wondered why his father married that woman.

"So, what does it mean to be very busy?" Alexander asked his father.

"Well, you know…" he shrugged and chuckled.

"Dinner is ready." The maid said.

"Let's go and have dinner." Karmina stood.

It was a happy dinner. Their family from each side. Although they aren't complete, they still manage to be happy. For Keira, it's the best dinner that she has ever had for a long time. Eating with her mother at one table with Alessandro and his father. Keira remembered a lot about her father. And they are still sad about what happened.

After their dinner, they went to the music room in the great hall.

"Well, my dear, can you play us a song? It's been a while since the last time I heard it." Alexander suggested.

"Sure,"

She approached the cello as she sat down and adjusted the strings and rubbed the rosin on the bow. She planned to play the cello suite of Bach. She sighed as she carefully placed her fingers on the fret of the cello. She started playing and together, a piano player. She kept playing as she glanced at the grand piano. Alessandro is playing and it's the first time she saw him.

She focused on the melody of both instruments as she played the deep sound of J.S Bach's composition. Somehow, memories started flashing in her mind. Happy moments with him.

One, two, three… The two played together in her music room.

"Well, let's start with G-sharp," Alessandro said. She hummed the melody that they put together. He moved his lips to her ear. "I love you…"

She giggled and nudged him.

"You better! I heard girls claim that you are dating them."

He laughed out loud and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"How can they say that I am dating them when I am always with you? Day and night…" he mumbled.

She flushed and nudged him. He's true with her day and night. It looked like he's living with them. He ate breakfast and dinner with them and slept in the guest room after they studied together. Her dad is strict and he knew the boundaries well.

"Let's just play J.S Bach's Cello Suite. You can accompany me with the piano. It'll be great."

"Okay," he stole a kiss at the side of her lips and rushed to the piano. "Let's study more so we could get married after college!"

"You are something." She laughed. "On three…" She counted as she started playing the cello.

She stopped after they finished with the song. She heard clapping and she looked up at her mother who seemed to be tearing and Alexander who cheered up. It's been a long time now. She sold her cello for her mother's bills. And her mother always says that she missed her playing the cello. She never played after that. She looked at Alessandro who stood from the piano seat and approached her.

"Alright, that's the best one I heard for a very long time," Alexander said.

"We are off to sleep," Alessandro said.

"I will play one more." She suggested. "Swan Lake."

"Alright." Alessandro smiled.

She played Swan Lake with him using the cello, accompanied by the piano. Music is her life. It's like her love for her mother and now, for the people who love her unconditionally. She wanted to make them happy like before. However, there are still parts of her that are empty. It's the memories that she forgets and it's Alessandro. She wanted to remember it. To remember their love.

After playing the Swan Lake composed by Tchaikovsky, they escorted their father outside as his driver opened the door for him.

"Dad, that's my car," Alessandro said.

"Well, this is your normal SUV. Let me borrow it." He winked.

He waved him off and watched the car leave the villa.

"Let's go and sleep." Alessandro put his right arm around her while he put his left arm to her mother shoulder

"The two of you enjoy your night." Karmina teased. "Make a lot of it."

Alessandro laughed.

"How about next year, mom? Keira has to clean up the Golden Age and it'll take a while."

"You know that I am here, I can take care of the baby while the two of you are busy." She said.

Keira flushed and nudged Alessandro.

"Sure, mom… we'll make a lot of it when Keira is ready." He told and Keira frowned at him.

They went to their bedroom and he lifted her from the floor. She wrapped her legs around his waist.

"I want to shower." She sighed. "I want to make love to you… but I am tired and I need to design my ring."

He used a damp towel to wipe her off since she couldn't wash her hand. She brushed her teeth without making her hands wet. Keira always noticed how caring he was to her. He takes care of her like a baby. She put her silk negligee on with a see-through fabric on her chest. Since she's bare inside, he kept on glancing at her since he could see her bare breast inside it. It's just teasing that it was covered with see-through fabric.

"Get me the gems, love." She told him and he went to the wall and took the box while she rummaged for a paper and pencil.

She took the box as she went to the bed and checked it. He turned off a few of the lights. She ignored him and got busy sketching the ring. She separates the stones that she's going to use. Alessandro yawned and waited for her to finish it. But an hour passed, she's still sketching.

"Love, can you do that tomorrow?"

"No. Tomorrow, you have to send it out." She sighed and continued sketching. He peeked on it and smiled at the pretty yet simple ring. He kissed her bare arm and glanced at the clock. It's already ten in the evening and he's tired, and they have to leave early tomorrow.

"It's done." She said and gave it to him. She put the gems in her hand and took a photo of it together with the design that she made.

"Can we make love now?" He asked.

"You didn't tell me about that ring."

"It's beautiful." He yawned as she frowned at him. She closed the box and slipped off from bed. "Love, let's do it quickly." He mumbled. She ignored him as she went to the walk-in closet and put the box on the secret wall. Then, she locked it. She went to her drawers and took another box and went back to bed. She took the paper and the pouch of gems, placing them on the box. He's dozing off. She frowned at him and put the box on the bedside table. She reached the pillow and smacked him.

"Ow…"

"Ales! I told you that I want to have sex tonight."

"I didn't sleep this afternoon." He mumbled as he moved closer to her and pushed the duvet.

"Where did your stamina go?" She asked him as she straddled him.

"You took it this afternoon, didn't you?" He grinned. "Give me a kiss, my love…"

"Don't sleep yet." She mumbled as she started kissing him passionately down to his neck and down to his chest. He breathed as she took his big erect to her mouth.

"You are doing right…" his breathing hitches.

Keira frowned at her husband when he fell asleep after that lovemaking. She sighed as she reached the tissue and wiped her lower part. It felt like a little bit of a reverse. He got tired when she's on top of him. She's the one working for it and why did he suddenly lose his energy. She expected him to have it twice this night since tomorrow~~they will have to work and work even at night. They will completely forget about lovemaking.

She moved closer to him and he turned to her and hugged her.

"I love you…" He mumbled.

She froze when the same tune told her the same.

"You love who?" She asked.

"You… I love you, Keira."

"You better…" She snuggled to him as she pulled the sheet over their body.
