The Billionaire's Kept Woman

It was love at first sight. Danica Lefebur, great-granddaughter of old Lucas Lefebur, the traitor of Kingdom Evergarden. She looked down at the card that was sent by the Duke of Higherlands. She smiled and even smelled it. Her brother glared at her as he slouched on the sofa.

"How can you look so in love? This is the first time I saw you like that."

"Well, he looked super handsome. His sexual appeal was out of the world. He's the type of a guy who could attract any sex." She smirked. "I want him. I want to get what I want."

"I heard that he's married. If you didn't notice the ring on his left finger." Griffin Lefebur said as he flipped through the magazine. "Here we are, locked in this peasant country." He mocked.

"Griffin, haven't you heard? We are supposed to be noble in this country. Our great-great-grandpa was an adviser of the former king."

"I heard." He raised his brows. "That is why grandpa wants us to support the damn Empire. You have to even marry Ken." He smirked. "You met him many times even when the two of you were kids. The two of you looked adorable and you even said that you want to marry him."

Danica creased her brows and stared at him. She picked up the cookie from the basket.

"Fuck you, Griffin. I won't marry that loser."

"As if that the Duke of Higherlands would marry you." He laughed and stood. "Damn, this is so fucking boring." He turned on the television. They are currently playing a video of a beautiful lady, playing the cello. It was a full version of a private performance. She smiled and was looking at someone lovingly. The camera caught it but somehow, a handsome face flashes as he looks at her with the same affection and love. "What the fuck?" He grumbled. "She's so fucking beautiful."

"That's Keira… the Princess of this country," Danice said and took a bite on the cookie.

"And the annoying guy?" He asked her.

"Her husband."

"She looked so young to be married!" He exclaimed frustratingly.

"She's dead. Wendy killed her."

He gaped and turned to her.

"What?"

"Yeah, she's the Princess that Wendy killed. Serpent helps them kill that poor girl."

"Damn, what a waste." He sat back. "Why and how? Why should we meet the only alluring people in this country and later find out the worst? If our grandfather didn't build a MAFIA we would still be a noble and I might have been arranged to marry her."

"Right," Danica also thought the same of Duke Gian. "Anyway," She sighed. "How long are we going to stay here? I don't mind staying if I see the Duke every day. I am willing to be a mistress." She smirked. "What kind of person is his wife?"

"His wife is an heiress of a big company. So, I bet that you can't even compare to her."

"Why not? We have noble blood and we are richer than her. Right?"

"Our wealth is stolen one. It wasn't ours originally. But as the heir and heiress, we have to keep this empire strong and going. A lot of people are looking up to us." He said and watched the beautiful woman playing her cello so gracefully. "I never fell in love at first sight but she already stole my heart. How can a beauty like that can only be for that not so handsome guy."

"Alessandro De Alegre. He's super handsome. Even Wendy was obsessed with him. But it wasn't just him because a lot of women are after that handsome man. I might be the one." She smirked. "But unfortunately, someone already has him. But it's not too late. Divorce could happen."

Griffin stared at her for a long time and shook his head.

"Go and try if you can seduce him." He waved him off.

Ian propped his right elbow over the desk while his right cheeks were leaning on his hand. He smiled while watching Tracey's bare round tummy. He can't wait for their baby to be born. If he knew that the feeling of being a father is this good, he would have already impregnated Tracey the first time that they met.

"Why are you still so sexy?" he whispered to her. She laughed and lay sideways to face him.

"Don't you have a lot of work to do, Duke Gian?"

"Well," Ian shrugged. "It is better to be here in the office rather than meeting that girl in The Serpent. She tried many times to speak to me today."

"Okay," She sighed. "I shouldn't get worried."

"No one can steal me from you." He winked at her.

"Better be." She yawned and carefully caressed her round tummy. She started to have those white stretch marks on the side of her waist. She complained about it but he promised that after she had their baby, she would undergo a skincare routine. "I'm sleepy." She whispered.

"Just go and sleep, babe. I will watch you."

She yawned and mumbled her love to her.

"I love you too. I love our baby too." He whispered and yawned.

Tracey surprisingly fell asleep quickly. He muted their video call so she won't get disturbed. Then, he reached the telephone and started ordering his men on what to do. Later on, he needs to go to the sites and check the boundaries. He was tired and didn't get enough sleep because he needed to finish a few things and check every force of the country. Although they increase drastically, preparing for the war, each of them has an assignment, each of them grows and becomes stronger.

He finished it in two hours and every time, he looked at his sleeping wife. She's the only that would relieve his stress, not only through sex but he would always laugh at her jokes. It wasn't lame and she's not the type of wife who will get toxic. She doesn't easily get jealous but she has threats. He loves it whenever she hides her jealousy and chooses to trust him.

His assistant knocked and entered the room. He bowed and approached him.

"Sir, our stocks arrived." He whispered. "Queen Karmina and King Henry had arrived too."

He reached his tablet, turned it off, and packed his small flat bag. He turned off his computer and walked out of the room. He went downstairs to greet Karmina and Henry. He had a very close relationship with his sister-in-law as they hugged each other.

"How's the trip?" he asked quickly and also hugged his brother.

"It was great. We couldn't glance at the babies." Karmina said.

"I want to chat more but I need to check a few things."

"Have someone do that," Henry said.

"This is critical. I must see it."

"Fine," Karmina said. "Come back before dinner."

"I will."

He went inside and he stopped after seeing a familiar figure who was standing at the stairs and checking his phone.

"Ace?" He called.

Viper turned around as his face lightened. He quickly ran up and jumped into Ian. If Ian wasn't good at balancing, he and Ace might have already rolled on the stairs.

"What the hell?"

"Sorry, Sorry!" he laughed. "I need to get flowers and chocolates and sweet stuff."

"There are a lot of flowers here in the castle. Better pick any of it. And if you want to give her chocolates, there are a lot of chocolates inside. Just grab anything you like."

"I want to spend my money." He exclaimed.

Ian smirked as he pulled Ace and whispered to his ear. Ace nodded his head.

"I need a ride then!" He exclaimed.

"Get ready your cash." He pulled out his wallet and gave him cash.

"I will wire it to you later." He winked.

"Come, have a ride with me."

Ian gestured to his car. They hopped into the car as Viper was about to wire it to him.

"I don't need it," Ian said. "But, I have a favor to ask."

"Sure, as long as it wasn't hard."

"Check on my wife." He said. "I won't be able to come home this week or the other week."

"I will stay for five days here and have to go back. Then come back in five days." He said. "Sure, I will check on her."

"Thank you, man."

They stopped by the shop. They both come out and in the essential oil shop, he helped him pick them up.

"See? Showing love isn't only through buying chocolate and other stuff. You need to give her a massage and a great~" he bent down to whisper. "Orgasm."

Ace smirked as the two chuckled at each other.

"She loves it better." He grinned. "What time will she come off from work?"

Ian glanced at his wristwatch."

"She might extend an hour or so."

"Dang," he sighed. "Okay, why won't you call her and get up early for dinner? I mean, mom and pops are back."

"Right," Ian pulled out his phone and called Guinevere. Ace was grinning like crazy. "Hey, Guinie. You have to come home early for dinner."

"What? I'm busy."

"Nope. Queen's order."

"Fine,"

He hung up and smirked.

"Duke Gian!"

Gian's smile turned grim when he heard the voice. He turned around as Danica Lefebur smiled charmingly and approached him.

"I'm glad to see you here,"

"Oh," Ian glanced at his wristwatch and faced Ace. "Wrapped it up I have to go."

Danice frowned when Gian was trying hard to avoid her.
