Violet felt her breast leaking and in a little pain. She quickly took out the set for her baby and started pumping milk. The boys didn't look at her as they only looked straight. Harvey was too busy to even take a glance at her and while the milk pumper kept going inside her bra, she checked the tablet to see her son drinking the formula milk that Maxine prepared.
Her heart melted while Maxine was humming Kal's favorite song. She's competent that Maxine would take care of her son no matter what. She's happy that she could trust someone with her son.
"How long will it take to get there?" Violet asked.
"Two hours." Harvey answered. "But I'm speeding up a little."
"Okay," Violet smiled when Kaleona was busy humming with her Aunt Maxine while he's sucking on his bottle. Separation-anxiety was indeed hard. She was now hesitating to be with his son or leave the mission. But thinking of her beloved husband, she thought of sacrificing by being with her son. His safety is a must while she's saving her husband.
"I'm sorry, Vi." Harvey grumbled. "I'm sorry that I was using you and couldn't let you go because of this mission." He paused. "I'm sorry for everyone and also for using Hannah Grace. I'm desperate to give my little sister a good and peaceful life."
Violet scoffed and shook her head.
"But isn't it ironic that you were really connected to the Charles Empire before Alessandro even got a crazy ex-girlfriend."
Harvey pursed his lips. Violet was always correct and straight to the point. That's one thing that he hated about her but also loved about her.
"For me, everything is fine." Viper said. "We are family and I will do anything for our family."
Harvey smiled as he placed his over Viper's head and patted it.
"We will stay as a family even though we have spouses." Harvey told him that Viper pouted.
Violet admired the sibling relationship between the two although they weren't blood related. They reached the headquarters soon and it was a big gate. The facade was a warehouse of wines but there's a secret entrance to the main facility. It's an underground facility plus a building known as a Head Office. Not all people could access inside since the face of the building was a production.
Harvey parked in the main entrance Violet put her baby's milk on the cooler that has a lock. She put it under the chair and covered it. Then, she put her trench coat on and stared and fixed her hair. She sprayed perfume and hopped out when the door was opened. She looked at Harvey as he gestured and the boys followed.
"Wow," Ian grumbled. "Rich ass."
"I wasn't the ass here," Harvey told his Uncle. Then, an old man came holding a cane and bowed to them. He's wearing a well tailored suit.
"It's already late, Grandpa." Harvey told the old man. "You don't have to greet us like this."
"It's a big pleasure to finally meet your squad, Master Harvey."
"Thank you." He smiled. "We will only check a few things and I think Command Fox can do that, right?"
"Yes, of course. I will prepare your accommodation too."
"Don't worry about that. We won't take long." He smiled as he took the old man's hand to give him support.

Alessandro was gaping when she was wearing a matching negligee from the gown that her mother designed.
"Wow," he whistled. "Love, we aren't on honeymoon yet."
"Mommy, make a few more of it. She said that she will make the sexiest and most beautiful negligee on our honeymoon next year." She grinned at him and turned around. "I look like a seductive princess in this gown, right?"
"Agree." He bit his lips and admired every beautiful curve of her. He reached her hand and admired the beauty behind the dress. "Alright, can we do it?"
"No." She shook her head.
"Babe, my manhood has been hard for thirty minutes now. It's going to explode."
She giggled and teased him further. She pushed him down on the bed, climbed up and straddled him.
"Oh, yeah." He said sexily and scooped her face. "I want you now."
"I want foreplay." She pouted at him and reached his hand from her face and placed it to her chest. "Please, love." She then rubbed her face to his hand like a little kitten. "I want your mouth~~"
"Shh," he covered her mouth. "Babe, if you speak dirty again I won't be gentle." She bit his palm lightly and gently pushed it.
"I didn't expect you to play gently, my husband. Play dirty and hard with me, I'm fine with both." Her voice was seductive enough to drive him crazy.
Keira was sleeping peacefully but Alessandro couldn't. He was staring at the sofa of their hotel room. He was bothered. Too bothered that Wendy was quiet these days. He was worried that she might be on the move or planning something crazy. He looked down at his wife lovingly and worried about her at the same time.
From the time that they met, on that beach, he wanted her to be happy because she's always beautiful. She was always smiling beautifully because she has a loving mother, father and siblings. He didn't ever want to ruin that happiness but he just did after he fell in love with her. Their life becomes chaotic because of obsession and greed. Although it wasn't them, he still blamed himself for meeting Wendy Charles.
"Ales," She mumbled and turned back sideways and went back to sleep.
Somehow, his heart melted that she was dreaming of him. But he hoped that it wasn't a nightmare. He lay down and spooned on her.
"Hmm," She smiled and searched for his hand. He intertwined his hand with hers and kissed her lips.
"I love you."
"Love you…" She grumbled. "Sleep."
Keira fell asleep again but Alessandro was staring at nowhere. That's when his phone blinks behind him. He carefully slipped from her and reached it. Harvey just texted him.
Harvey: Location set. Charles on the move.
He exhaled and stared at the window. They kept it close but Charles's assassin might come around anytime. He slipped off from bed and replied to Harvey.
Alessandro: Thank you. Keep safe.
He went to the wardrobe and put his boxers on and pants on. He then took his wife's dress and coat. He approached her and kissed her forehead.
"Love." He called.
"Hmm," She looked at him.
"Love, dress up. We are leaving."
"What?" She sat up and watched her husband put her dress on. He then took her boy-shorts panty and gave it to her. She put it on and slipped off from bed. He quickly took her sneakers and put them on her. "What's going on?" She asked but he didn't answer. He put the bulletproof trench coat on her and her smart watch. "Love," She started tearing up when he didn't answer. He knew that she was scared.
"Hey, I will be with you." He hugged her and kissed her head. "I'm sorry for waking you up."
Two knocks on the door means that they are already waiting outside. He stood and went to the door as he peeked at the peephole. He signed his wife and she rushed to him. He put his sneakers on and opened the door.
"Sir, the car is ready." The bodyguard that her mother set for her said and the man gestured as Alessandro wrapped his other arm to her and held her hand with the other hand. They rushed to the elevator but the man stopped and pointed to the stairs. They started walking down as three bodyguards were behind them. But a bulky man was already waiting and pointed the gun directly to Keira.
Keira gaped and stared at the man. Although he has gears, Keira knows that face. He looks so much like Johanna.
"Victor?" She called him but the man didn't respond.
The bodyguards throw their bodies to the man. She gasped when Alessandro grabbed her back upstairs and two bodyguards led them to the elevator. Keira starts shaking and when the elevator closes, the bodyguards make a triangle position to protect them from each side.
"This is only a test for that killing machine." The bulky man in front of them said. "Lady Keira, we will protect you. We will be your shield, rest assured."
She only nodded as she didn't know the man. Alessandro rubbed her arms and they stopped on the second floor. Then, the guards lead them out. She sniffled and wiped her tears. She shouldn't cry.
"I'm here." He whispered.
"Two men down." The other one said. "Kilo Mama on loose."
The three make a signal as two take Keira and Alessandro out of the hotel. The hotel was also in a quiet panic and the car was already waiting outside. Suddenly, it exploded as the glasses shattered in the main entrance of the hotel. Just enough time to have the bodyguards cover the two and Alessandro covered his body to his wife.
"Sandro," She panicked when his body felt so heavy on top of her. "Sandro,"
"I'm here." He quickly grabbed her up and dragged her. The Killing Machine was running toward their direction and his only target was Keira and that is why Alessandro put his body in front of Keira and hid her behind him. "Stay there."
The Killing Machine was like a robot as he scanned around searching for Keira. He stepped forward but suddenly, a woman in a suit rushed and gave a flying kick to the killing machine's face as his head gear was thrown away.
