Keira was currently in the garden with Tracey as they were working on the new project that they collaborated on together. It was near to Christmas and they are preparing for the advertisement for New Year. Tracey planned for the biggest sale on December 31. Since Keira has a wide imagination when it comes to advertisements, it is easy for them to come up with what to do.
"President," Her assistant came with documents. "Here are the documents that you need to sign up for."
"Thank you, dear," Keira said sweetly as ever as she removed her phone to give space on the documents.
"That's a lot." Tracey creased her brows.
"Yeah. This isn't worth a month. There's a lot coming today."
"Hmm," Tracey shrugged. "It is nice to work here in the garden." She said. "It is so serene that it makes me sleepy. But with lots of workloads, I don't think that I can sleep."
"I know, right." Keira chuckled. "Mom even set up hammocks for us. Just in case we were tired."
"Nope." Tracey shook her head. "I won't sleep. This needs attention. My husband makes himself busy so I would give him attention."
Keira laughed so hard and glanced at her husband who was far away from them so he wouldn't get distracted by them. Mostly when they are working together and close together, they get distracted too much with their attraction for each other. She pouted when she noticed that he was too focused.
"Keira, come on. You have to focus." Tracey said as she typed on her keyboard. "Your husband will stay there and work. It is Monday yet we got lazy to go back to the city."
"Uhuh," She nodded her head.
The reason why Karmina didn't let them back to the city was because of some massive inspection on each building. They declare a work-from-home working day for the employees in the HO and they aired movies for twenty-four hours in each station. It was also the same to Alessandro's HO and they won't lose money at this moment.
"Focus," Tracey said as they become serious with work.
After two hours, Keira finished reading and reviewing each document that needed to be signed. Then, she finally went out for a bathroom break and instead of going back to her table, she went directly to her husband's table, hugged his neck from behind, and kissed his cheeks.
"Alright, we can set that up," Sandro said as he tapped his wife's arm. She moved swiftly to his lap and hugged him while Alessandro continued with his voice conference. "Moira, what is my schedule for tomorrow?" He asked as he pressed his lips to his wife's forehead.
Back at Keira and Tracey's table, the dear friend was frowning as she shook her head in disapproval. Keira made it clear to Tracey that she won't go to her husband but then, there she is, snuggling like a kitty. So, she snapped a photo of them and posted it on her social media with captions. "@KeiraD. Too much for focusing and not interrupting your hubby." She even tags Alessandro on it.
She sighed and got back to work but got distracted when the couple was sucking faces. She rolled her eyes and took a close shot of them again with her digital camera. Then, she posted it again, edited the background so no one could locate them, and also used a VPN so they wouldn't locate her. She also put it in private so it will be safe.
She sighed again and continued with her work. Shortly, Keira came back, having more energy than before and she sat down and worked hard.
"Did you just recharge?" Tracey asked feeling a little envious.
"Yeah, I did." Keira grinned.
"Dang, Ian is not here to give me that." She grumbled as she took notes on a few things.

Wendy was humming a Christmas song, however, it sounded more like a horror song for Christmas.
"All I want for Christmas is you." Wendy sang as she was busy cutting photos of Keira's face from the original photo of the couple. She burns Keira's face like she's chanting a spell while singing and then she puts her face on it. She hummed and continued what she was doing until the door opened. She didn't continue without glancing at the door.
"Everything is set, milady." Her Butler said.
"Sent it out for Christmas. I think we should send dead bodies to their door." She shrugged.
"Sending dead bodies will be risky." The Butler said. "The police know that you are blackmailing Alessandro. They have enough proof and sending a dead body would trigger them to catch you using the government."
She stopped and turned her head to him.
"Didn't grandfather have power over them?"
"I don't think so." The Butler said as he placed the tray full of fruits over the coffee table.
"That sucks." She sighed. "How can I earn more power?" She asked. "I want to rule them. I want to rule everything. That way, I can have Alessandro." She started singing again.
Butler stared at her for long watching her do her Christmas album which contains photos of Alessandro and Keira's body with her face on it. It wasn't the creepiest thing that he had ever seen. Bloody Christmas has just started.

Karmina was busy making cookies and biscuits for babies. It was organic and it will last for a month. After she heard that Violet will visit after the mission. She will make cookies for Kal who loves to eat. Instead of putting sugar, she put honey instead.
"How is it?" Karmina asked Henry who tasted it.
"It melts well in my mouth dear. Perfect for babies."
"I will also give one to the Princess." She said.
"Princess who?" Henry asked as he took another piece.
"Adamson and Sophia's baby."
"Oh," He bounced his head. "That cute baby? I saw her photos in Keira's group chat. I think we will have our grandchildren Keira and Alessandro soon."
Karmina chuckled and agreed with him.
"How're the cookies, Mitch?" Henry asked as MJ kept eating the cookies.
"It's not too sweet. I love it." She said and covered her mouth.
"Don't worry, dear. I will make more of it."
"Thanks, mom." She said as she put some on her cookie jar. Then, she sneaks out of the kitchen. Karmina only giggled as she continued with baking.
"Your majesty," Secretary Carter's right hand approached them and bowed. "Would you like to see the preparation for Christmas?
"Just a moment." She was done putting the butter on the tray then she put it in the oven. She wiped her hands as she nodded at the secretary. Then, he showed her the presentation for the gifts. "It's bloody enough." She mumbled. Henry was confused about the preparation. He was even more confused than she would say bloody instead of merry. "Deliver it well." She told him.
"Yes, ma'am."
"What was it?" Henry asked. Karmina didn't answer until the Secretary left. Henry stared at her, waiting for the answer.
"I will tell you later." She said as she continued what she was doing.
"Alright," he walked closer to her as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Do you still love me?"
"Does my heart still beat?" she asked back as he grinned and kissed her cheek. "I will tell you later, okay? Check on your daughter." She turned her head to him and kissed his lips.
"I will." He said softly. Henry hugged her more and then, he decided to go out and check for his daughter in the garden.
Meanwhile, Karmina turned to her cookies that are in the cooling rack. She's in a good mood today. She will have an early Christmas gift for the Charles Empire. Twelve gifts until Christmas. Since they were busy threatening her son-in-law, it was her turn to threaten them. She wouldn't forget the threats that Wendy sent when Keira was in high school. She won't forget those dirty words.
She even sent out a photo of her and Alessandro where she was naked and on top of him. It was the most disgusting thing that she ever saw and since Alessandro was young, she deal with it on behalf of Fana, Sandro's mother. She bet that Alessandro didn't know that she filmed every sex he had with her and took photos of him while sleeping. She was obsessed and yet, she wasn't satisfied that she tried another that eventually made Alessandro break up with her. Then, she cracks after seeing him with someone else.
"Our life would be perfect if you were gone." She mumbled, thinking of that girl who tried to kill their daughter. "I should have finished you."
She remembered the scorching eyes she had toward Kevin Charles, Wendy's father. He even knelt in front of her to forgive him and said that he will do everything. She wanted his daughter to die but somehow, he died instead. She was happy when he died because of an accident. She's sure that it wasn't a simple accident. But she would be happier if Wendy also died.
It might be a sin to ask for someone to die but it is the only way for her family to be at peace.
"My Queen," The old man called as she turned her head and smiled. "Do you wish him done?"
"Not yet," She smiled, sweetly but inside was full of venom. "Giving him stress is torture, right Carter? I want the same thing for that girl."
"As you wish." Carter bowed his head. "There's nothing to worry about, my Queen. I will set up everything."
