Chapter 373: Burial

Alessandro stared at nowhere as he watched how they started shoving soil and dirt over her coffin. It was meters down. He wanted to go there too. He wanted to be with her. Soon. He cracked a bitter smile. He had thought about it. It is better to be with her than to have his revenge. He will let Keira's siblings and family do it. He will be useless anyway like the time that she was killed. 

Alex noticed that ugly smile on his son's face. He was worried. Then, Alessandro stayed there while others left. Keira's grave was surrounded by five bodyguards. Lovie and Hunter, the two adorable American Pitbull Terriers, ran around the grave, and then they ran off. 

"Well, it's done. Let's go." Johanna said. 

"I'm not done." He mumbled. 

"Of course, we have work to do." 

"Jo, you can do that." He said. "I'm going to stay here." 

Johanna stared at him. 

"You can stay here for a while." Johanna turned back. "Mom would prepare your favorite dish." 

"Who else could eat at this moment?" 

"Me?" Johanna shrugged. "I am feeding my daughter." 

Alessandro sat down on the ground as he stared at his wife's beautiful face on the big portrait of her wearing a pink dress. 

He finally stood after three hours and nearly stumbled, because half of his legs were numb. But he managed to walk back to the mansion without riding the car. 

Karmina was already waiting at the door and she held him. 

"Come on, let's eat," Karmina said. "You don't look well. You drink again…" She sighed. "I don't know what to do with you." She fixed his hair. "Come on. I will prepare your favorite soup that will warm your stomach." 

Alessandro followed them to the kitchen as she served him food. He ate everything that she put on his plate. He wanted to have a last meal with his family. He smiled and ate more of the food. Johanna, who was sipping on the apple juice instead of wine, was staring down at Alessandro, watching his every move. 

"It's delicious, mom." 

"I'm glad that you like it. I have to tell you something later." Henry said as his phone rang. "Jo, what's with the new project?" Henry asked. 

"Well, Keira and I had spoken about it a lot back then. It was scheduled this month and they were trying to cancel it." 

Alessandro watched as Henry and Johanna spoke about business casually like it was nothing that Keira died. Maybe if he also dies, they would be the same. He was happy about that though so he continued to eat. After eating, he enjoyed drinking his favorite beverages while walking in the garden that Keira loves so much. 

The dogs were running around and circling him. He smiled and patted each of them. They quickly licked him and jumped into him. He hugged them and enjoyed his time with them. He stayed sitting on the grass patting the dogs as they continued playing. He kissed both of them and he finally went to his room. He searches for the cable ties that he and Keira use whenever they play. He smiled but somehow, he's going to use it to end things. 

He looked around. Then, he went to the balcony and tied the rope on the parapet. Then, he sat beside it as he made an adjustable circle that once he put his neck around and weighed, would easily wrap around him. He put it on and removed his ring. Then, he carefully pulled his wife's rings that she wore that night from his pocket. 

"I will be with you soon, Keira." He whispered and kissed the diamond ring. Then, he climbed up on the parapet preparing to jump. He sighed as he smiled like he already felt the freedom. 

He stepped in the air. He felt like he fell but someone grabbed him back and quickly removed the cable ties on his neck. He was grabbed by an angry woman inside using his shirt. 

"You asshole!" Johanna pulled his collar to drag him up and punched him in the jaw. He fell on the carpet. His lips were already bleeding and he looked up at him. "What are you trying to do?" 

He was silent but then he lay flat there and stared at the ceiling. Then, Johanna pulled his collar and she moved her face closer to him. 

"What if I told you that Keira was never dead?" She said in a low voice. "And you trying to kill yourself will hurt her." 

Alessandro was emotionless. She slapped his other cheek lightly. 

"Keira is not dead. She's somewhere safe. We need to show your crazy stalker that she's dead. Okay?" 

Alessandro creased his brows and pushed her. 

"Stop it. You won't stop me this time." 

Johanna sighed and pulled out her phone. She dialed a number and gave it to him. He stared at it then a familiar voice on the phone made him freeze. He carefully pressed it to his ear. 

"Hello, Jo?" 

"Keira," Alessandro's voice was shaking a little bit as tears started rolling down his eyes. 

"Love!" Keira's voice was louder. "Love!" She started crying from the other line. "Love it's me. I am fine. Tell me that you are fine?" 

Sandro gulped hard as he started sobbing. 

"Sandro," Keira sighed. "Are you there?" 

"I'm here, baby." 

"Yes," Keira giggled but crying at the same time from the other line. "Listen, you need to be well. We will see each other soon but Johanna needs you." 

"She punched me," Sandro said as Keira sighed. 

"Babe, I'm sorry. But listen to Jo, okay?" 

"I will."

"By the way, I am two months pregnant and we will have a baby soon." 

"Yeah?" he wiped his tears as Johanna went to the fridge to grab an ice. "Don't hang up. I want to see you." 

"I want that too but there are limitations. No one can know my location." 

"But are you safe?" He asked. "You aren't hurt?" 

"No."

Alessandro sighed. 

"How? You were shot…" 

"Remember that I am wearing a coat. It's bulletproof." 

"I will kill that Butler." He grumbled. 

"No. He saved me. Jo, too. She was there, she saved me and our baby." 

Sandro sighed as Johanna gave him ice. 

"Thank you." Sandro looked up at Johanna. 

"For what?" Johanna asked. 

"For everything." He carefully pressed it on the spot where she punched him. 

"Okay," She sat on the sofa and crossed her arms. 

He sighed and smiled. 

"This is true?" He asked. 

"What?" Keira giggled. "Love, we planned this." 

"But the one from the grave? It was you." 

"That's a clone. It will rot sooner or later. The skin was really like human skin. It was part of the research and it was the first clone that they made with no life. We will only use it to throw corpses as part of an escape. It also has my DNA." 

"Wow," He sighed. "I want to hold you." He mumbled. 

"Okay, I will leave that phone here." Johanna stood and left. He went to bed and lay down as he listened to Keira. 

"I know. I want that too. But I have to keep myself safe and our baby. I know that she will keep threatening you with me if she finds out. Love, listen to Johanna. I know that this is risky and there's like 80 percent chance that you might get killed." 

"It's fine. I will have my revenge now." 

"Love," Keira sighed. "It might take months." 

"But I want to see you." 

"Yes, I will set that up. Currently, we can't video call, but I will sing you a new song." 

"Okay," He mumbled. 

"Wait, are you going to sleep? I think you need to take a bath? You can put it on speaker while I just go to the music room." 

"Okay," he put it on speaker as he went to the bathroom and stripped. He smiled while he went to the shower. Then, she started playing the piano and she sang beautifully. Alessandro knew that it was his wife but it was like a dream. After he bathed and put his pajamas on while listening to Keira singing, he took his wife's sleeping dress and took it to the bed. He put it on the pillow and hugged it as he continued listening to her. 

"Wait, I'm hungry." Keira giggled. 

"Are you alone?" He asked. 

"No. Violet is with me and she's making delicious food." 

"That's good," Sandro said softly. "I wish I was there. I swear, I will make everything you like. I would even let you torture me in bed." 

Keira giggled from the other line. 

"Babe, I will only torture you with pleasure." Keira laughed. 

"I already missed you." He whispered as he slowly closed his eyes but he opened them again to make sure that it wasn't a dream. "When can I come there?" 

"Soon," Keira said softly. "I am eating broccoli with creamy cheese on top. It's delicious. Violet also makes basil pesto pasta." 

"Keep talking love," Alessandro mumbled as he slowly closed his eyes. 

Somehow, in his dream, Keira was being tortured by Wendy.. He woke up with a heavy heart as he looked around and called for his wife.
