Chapter 216 - Headaches

Keira was worried about her husband's headaches. Sometimes it's migraines, sometimes it's headaches. She met up with his doctor to know the reason. It's because of tension, and lack of sleep. She wondered why he has a lack of sleep. She's getting worried every time he has a headache. But she's glad that it was only when he had a lack of sleep.

"Drink your milk and medicine." Keira stood in front of him with a tray in her hand. He took the medicine and reached for the warm milk. He sipped on it and sighed. "Finish the milk, okay?"

"Yes, boss." He sipped on the milk again and Keira waited until he finished it. He put it on the tray as she put it on the table near the balcony.

"Don't lay down yet." She said, "Do you want to go in the garden for a while until the medicine kicks in?"

"Yeah, sure. I missed walking with you." He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheeks. "I'm sorry for making you worried."

"The reason why you always have a headache the time you save me from that auction is that you don't sleep at all."

"It's hard for me to sleep when I know that you are in danger." He whispered. "I'm sorry, my wife."

"It's not your fault, my love. For now, you have to sleep more. It's better if you oversleep than sleepless. Your doctor said that you have become healthier than before." Keira tied her robe and held her husband's hand as they left their room.

"It's because of you." He said softly. "You make me healthy. You are a very caring wife."

"Don't flatter me too much."

The couple reached the garden. They walked hands together while walking to the maze garden of the mansion. The fresh air is somehow a natural stress reliever. He smiled down at her while she's leading toward the dragon fruits that his father planted.

"Wow!" Keira exclaimed. "The flowers are blooming! Love, look!" She dragged him to the dragon fruits as the white flower like a lotus was slowly blooming. It looks like it stands out from every flower around. "Damn, I don't have my phone with me." She pouted.

"Why won't we walk in the garden every night from now on?" He asked her. "We could bring a camera and film the flowers."

"Wow! That's a great idea, love!" She said excitedly.

"For someone who was weaning about being tired looks like it's just all an act?" he grinned at her. She pokes his abdomen.

"I was tired after seeing Holly. I am sure that she will tell the Charles Empire all about me." She pouted.

"Don't worry about it." He hugged her and pressed his lips to her ear. "Didn't you know that your brother and Uncle got rid of any evidence regarding it?"

Her eyes widened and she looked up at him.

"Really?"

He nodded his head and kissed her cheeks.

"They deleted it all after they found out about it." He yawned and patted her head. "Can we sleep now, baby?"

She nodded her head and she held his hand and took him back inside to their room.

She was glad that her husband slept quickly and this time, she will take care of him rather than giving him more stress. She sighed and closed her eyes to sleep.

In the morning, they have their usual routine and they leave the house to work. Then, something broke out in the news. They claimed that Keira sold her virginity to auction for 5 million dollars just for the sake of money. But with that news, lots of people were in commotion. Keira didn't stress herself by going through social media.

Currently, Albert and her team are taking care of it.

"There are a lot of people outside your company." Alessandro's eyes turned murderous. "It's a good thing that we use an old Toyota."

Before they entered the parking lot. Lots of vans and cars came shortly as people in suits known as bodyguards from the EPUA and the Dragon Empire lined up. Her heart swelled a little from her friend's support. They pushed away from the media from the boundary of the company as they stood in formation to cover it up.

Her husband escorted her to her office. Instead of going directly to his office, he sat down while Johanna and Karmina were distributing the drinks that they bought.

"I can't believe this," Henry grumbled as Keira fidgeted her fingers.

"They can't have any evidence right now."

"What if Holly has photos of it?" Keira asked.

"I already checked on her files while she's at work. I searched on it and I found nothing." Harvey said. "I should kill that bitch." Harvey grumbled.

"There's no killing," Keira exclaimed. "How do I solve this problem?"

"Let's show that it was launched by the Charles Empire. I think Viper can handle that. Besides, I have a friend that can also handle it. He was a shadow so no one knows him." Harvey shrugged. "Let's do it and I'll pay them big on the next mission."

"Sorry if I dragged you all the way here," Keira grumbled. "I shouldn't trust Holly."

"Hey," Alessandro patted her head. "It's fine, love. We will take care of this. They are surely doing this to delay other things."

"Then, I should send out the other news." Harvey took out his phone and called someone. "Yes. Let's fire it to lessen the hot topic."

Keira was still worried but then, Karmina hugged her.

"Hey, stop stressing about it. I am sure that this will pass. Also, you have to attend a few conferences." Karmina told her. "I will be with you. Don't worry. Besides, I am one of the stockholders, right?"

"Yes, mommy." She pouted at her. She still acts like a little girl around her. She was spoiled by them, that's why she's ready to take their comfort.

"Love, we will take care of this. How about you go back to your office?"

"There are a lot of media there too." He said and held Keira's hand. "I already called Emerald here to send the important documents. I'll join you for a while."

"Thanks, love." She kissed his lips.

"Stop the PDA!" Harvey exclaimed.

"By the way, I will have to go to another site to help Viper with this thing," Connor said. "So, I am checking out for a while." He reached for Johanna's hand. "Love, stay with Keira." He kissed her temple. "I will be back later with your favorite dessert."

"Thank you. Stay safe."

He nodded at Henry and Harvey.

"Sandro, Ma'am Mina, Keira." He told them and he left quickly.

"We can't hack this information because they will surely find out that it must be the Del Carlo company. So, we will turn it around."

"How are we going to turn it around?" Keira asked.

Suddenly, Harvey's phone chimes and checks the information.

Breaking News!

They released an actual photo of Keira Del Carlo in the Dark Market Auction. The police are alarmed with this information and where it was located.

"They are making a move," Harvey said and there's a blurred photo from. "Everyone is wearing costumes and masks. It will be hard to recognize it. They might have shown that it's your figure but recently, your figure changed. Right?" He asked Alessandro.

"She's healthier this time."

"Fatter?" Keira glared at Alessandro.

"You aren't fat at all." He grinned and patted her head.

"Well, let's report about the leaked confidential information for now," Henry said. "It's one way to divert that issue."

"Right," Harvey agreed. "Then, you should talk to Albert?" He looked at Johanna.

"I will." Johanna checked her tablet about Keira's meeting. "Keira, you have a meeting in an hour but it was canceled because of this."

"It's a good thing," Keira said.

"I will leave then." Johanna strode toward the door and left.

"Now, I'll set up a meeting with them. I am sure that they are worried but we have security around the areas." Alessandro said. He was too part of the stockholders. He owns twenty percent of shares that Keira put as for safekeeping.

Keira somehow didn't regret following Holly's advice on selling her virginity. After Holly stole her money, she was desperate. If it wasn't for Alessandro, she wouldn't know everything about Holly. She wouldn't find out that she took her savings for her mother's medical. But she's powerful now. No matter what she did with the Charles Empire, she will surely fight back.

After setting up the plan, Keira fixed her make-up and she held her mother's hand as Alessandro went with them to the conference room. She sat down gracefully with her mother at her left and her husband at her right. Shortly, Emerald came with Alessandro's computer to deal with his problem.

"Let's start with the meeting," Keira said and they started talking about the stocks that lowered a little because of it. Keira won't cancel anything regarding that even though it was slowly tarnishing their reputation. But who would worry about that thing?

Alessandro stood and turned to Keira.

"I will go to the conference myself. I already set one."

"That fast?" Keira asked. "Take Albert with you."

Albert quickly gathers his things. He looked tired from all of the things that happened but Keira will surely give him a partner so he won't shoulder it by himself. Sandro kissed Karmina's cheeks and Keira's lips.

"I'll be with you later." He mumbled and she nodded her head.
