The Billionaire's Kept Woman-Chapter 283 - Confused

Victor sat on his bed as he stared at nowhere. His mind wasn't working well as he smacked his head.

"Work, you head." He grumbled. Shortly, someone knocked on his door and entered.

"Here's your medicine," Butler Jim said as he placed it on the table. "Your snack and your night smoothie. This will help you sleep well."

"Tell me, Butler Jim. How many cameras are there focusing on me?" He asked.

Butler Jim was silent for a while.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Sir Victor. Please drink your medicine." He picked up the tray and approached him. Victor took it and drank it. Then, he grabbed the bottle of smoothie and sipped on it. "I will be leaving then." He bowed at him as he left.

Victor put the bottle on the table as he stood and went to the bathroom. He spits all of the medicine that he took. He washed his face and stared at the mirror. He saw someone in his vision. He read her lips.

"Onni-san…" He grumbled. "Hannah." He whispered. "Only Hanna would call me that."

His ears started ringing and his head twitched a little. He held his head and grabbed the towel to wipe his face. He left the bathroom and walked toward the bed. He sat down, stared at the window for a while. Then, he reached the smoothie and sipped on it. He stared at the bottle and noticed the small note on it. There were lists of things.

Shelves, lampshade left, balcony.

He stood and checked the lampshade as he found a small camera. He turned off the lamp so they wouldn't notice that he found the cameras. He didn't know about the Butler or why he was helping him but he knew that something wasn't right the first time he saw that pregnant woman in the Mansion of De Alegre.

He closed his eyes as he remembered her from head to toe and the way she called him when she tried to reach him. He raised his hand as he wanted to reach her as well.

"Hannah," He whispered. He was already dreaming of his sister in the face of someone else. Somehow, it started getting blurry. "Big brother is here. No one is going to hurt you anymore…."

He reached her face as it become a blur and he hugged her.

"My little sister, how are you?" He kissed her forehead but he felt that it was cold. "Hannah?"

"Onni-san. I don't think that I should call you that. I am engaged, Victor."

"What? How? Why? Why did you grow up so quickly." He hugged her tightly. "Hannah, why is your face starting to get blurry?"

Victor gasped as he opened his eyes. The light from the outside seeped through dark curtains. He suddenly felt heavy as he tried to move. But he stayed still and relaxed. A knock on the door made him turn to the door as it opened. Hannah Grace, the one that he thought to be Hannah Grace.

"Big bro, aren't you getting up?" She asked and approached him. "I have a nightmare,"

Victor sat up and patted the space beside him. She sat down and hugged him.

"I dreamed of them again." She sighed.

"Hmm, bad dream again?"

"Yes," Wendy said. "Let's have breakfast together."

"Okay, give me a few more minutes." He said as he patted her head.

He slipped off from the bed and went to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, washed his face. Then, he changed his clothes and approached Wendy who jumped off the bed. He noticed something. She doesn't act like Hannah Grace. He thought that maybe she grew up differently.

He put his slippers on and reached her hand. They walked out of his bedroom and went downstairs to the garden where their breakfast was set up. Again, this time, he watched her eat and scolded the butlers and maid if there were things that were misplaced.

Johanna gently turned sideways when she fell asleep again on the couch while they were fitting for gowns. The wedding is held in the month in which she will give birth, which is in February. She can't wait for those weeks to come.

"Alright, this is the draft for my wedding gown." She twirled around and showed her the details.

"Wow," Johanna was amazed at how the white gown looked good at her with those silver linings. "You looked like a princess."

"I know, right! It's quite heavy though." She faced the mirror. "You fell asleep again."

"Hmm," She reached her head and sat up straight as she caressed her tummy. "Baby's getting heavier. But I have to wait for a few more weeks."

Keira giggled. She signed the staff as they helped her remove the gown. She stepped out wearing her silk slip dress and approached Johanna. She sat down as she bent down to kiss her tummy.

"Baby will come out this January, then you can be my maid of honor."

"I don't think so. I'll be very fat."

"Don't be funny. I don't care if you are fat or not."

Johanna sighed.

"I'm hungry. I'm thirsty."

Keira quickly stood and reached the fresh bottle of strawberry juice. Then, she gave her cookies and fruits. She started eating like a hungry cavewoman.

"Slow down." Keira giggled and patted her.

"I suddenly feel hungry. Dreaming makes me hungry."

"Okay," She joined her sister and told her to keep away from sweets. They have the Basil pasta that their mother cooked.

"I shouldn't eat cookies first," Johanna said, regretting that she ate cookies before the pasta.

Shortly they went downstairs where they are currently putting Christmas Decorations after removing the Halloween decorations.

"Babe," Connor approached Johanna and hugged her. "We haven't bought Christmas Decors. Let's buy one if you want?"

"Don't bother about it. We are going to party out anyway."

"Why won't Jo stay with us, Connor?" Karmina suggested as she organized the garlands.

Connor was puzzled for a while.

"Back in your mansion?" He asked.

"Yes, I can take care of her while you do your other business. She won't get bored."

"Is that alright with you, love?" Connor asked his fiancee.

"Yes, as long as you are with you."

"Okay," He grinned at her. "The lady will get what she wants." He said cheerfully.

She sat down on the sofa and was too tired and too lazy to move.

"Why are you lethargic?" Connor asked as he reached her head and patted it.

"I don't know." fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

"Do you want to go to our room and sleep?"

"No. We are fixing things here."

"Jo, you don't have to worry." Karmina winked at her. Connor carefully helped her up and went to their room.

He closed the door and grinned at her. She yawned as she dragged her body to the bed.

"Turn the AC please." She said softly. He turned on the AC as he removed his shirt and walking shorts, leaving her boxers on. He crawled over the bed seductively and kissed her lips. "Careful, you might hit our baby." She pushed him when his knees were close to her tummy.

"I'm sorry." He kissed her lips again.

"If you are asking for sex, you will be disappointed. I'm tired."

"Don't worry. I am not." He kissed her forehead. "I am only admiring you." He pulled the covers and covered them with their body. He adjusted to the level of her tummy and kissed it. "Baby, are you making mommy sleepy? Do you always want to sleep? Huh?"

She giggled and reached his head. He moved closer to her and adjusted to her level just to kiss her lips. He sighed and caressed her hair.

"Alright, my love. What do you want to tell me? Are you having nightmares?"

"Hmm," She nodded her head. "I'm also having a confusing dream about my brother. It felt like he kept getting away from me."

He listened attentively as he caressed her tummy.

"What else?"

"I know that he wanted to be with me. He might already feel imprisoned."

"It must be hard for Victor. But they told me that he stopped drinking the medicine after what happened yesterday. I think seeing you makes him recognize the real Hannah Grace."

"I hope that he won't get hurt again. He always gets hurt because of me, even when we were young." She shook her head. "They aren't hurting him physically, right?"

"Nope." He shook his head. "He only needs to be submissive to them."

"Then, mental torture?"

"Probably." He caressed her cheeks. "But don't worry, your mom will do everything to keep him safe."

"I want to see him badly."

"I know," He caressed her sides. "But you know well that you can't go out and do those stunts." He kissed the spot between her brows. "Babe," he called.

"Hmm?"

"You are important, that's why everyone is worried about you."

"I know… and yet here I am, worried about my brother and Keira. I don't want the family that adopted me and my only family to fight."

"Hey, they won't fight. We will save Victor."

"Hmm,"

She slowly closed her eyes and she snuggled to his chest.

"Sleep." She whispered. "Babe, I want a good sleep."

"Okay, I will be here with you.." He caressed her hair as he felt bad for her.
