Chapter 86 - Burnout

Keira noticed that Johanna seemed to be too early and burning out fats with her bodyguard. She stopped and watched the two sparring on some martial arts through the glass wall to their gym. It looked like Muay Thai. She entered the room as the two stopped.

"How sweet?"

"You are here." Johanna smiled at her.

"I should burn fats too," Keira said and eyed Conrad as sweats dripped down from his hair. She smirked and looked at Johanna with a wink. "Next time, I should watch my husband work out too. Enjoy, both of you. I'm going to check on a few things."

Johanna nodded as Keira left.

Keira was in a good mood the time she sat on her swivel chair. Then, she checked the photos of the finished mausoleum for Louise Madison. There were a lot of negative comments toward her. She smirked at how they gave her rape and death threats. She sighed and shook her head. There are also bad comments toward Louise Madison as a whore. She can't deal with that right now. She'll make sure that the IT team is doing their job. It's time to visit them.

She put her sunglasses on and her bodyguards followed together with Vanessa. She first visited Albert's office and it's quite a mess while his clothes were worn yesterday. His hair was disheveled too. He might have stayed for a night and there's also a blanket on the sofa.

"Madam!" Albert was surprised.

"So, you stayed all night?" She asked. Albert scratched his head and smiled.

"Sorry, I was cleaning up the mess in the media."

"Hmm, it's not easy to clean it," Keira said as she crossed her arms. "We will be very busy Albert. I ask for your patience."

"Yes, Madam."

"I saw the news headlines about Louise. I think that should be turned down."

"Yes, madam."

"I'll speak to the Legal team then." She left the room and waved at him.

When she reached the office of the Legal Director, he was surprised too as full of papers were filed over it. The director stood quickly and approached her. He extended his hand and she shook it.

"I still saw a lot of harsh reports toward Louise Madison. I want you to prepare the lawyers and sue them."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"I don't care about harsh words toward me. But let's clear Louise's name. Shall we?"

"Will do, Madam." The director said submissively.

She then visited the recording studio and checked the materials. Next week will be the recording for Vincent and new artists. She planned to go undercover and play with them and train them three times a week for recording. It's her composition after all. There are lots of things to do and she felt lazy and tired by thinking of it. When she reached her office, Johanna was already on her desk sipping on her smoothie.

"So, how're the burning calories going?" Keira teased.

"I have to cut off my alcohol since mom is visiting my penthouse."

Keira laughed and shook her head.

"You seemed to be restless," Keira bent down. "What have you been doing all night with Conrad?"

"Keira, stop teasing me." Johanna hissed as she pursed her lips. "Stop thinking dirty."

"I am not," Keira smirked.

"Nothing happened." She mumbled. Keira eyed Conrad who was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap.

Alessandro frowned at the headlines about his wife. He made sure that the legal would handle it and the PR. Although his wife owns the Golden Age, he still won't let anyone harm his wife like this. He's raging at the moment and he'll completely bankrupt them if they keep it up. He had lots of connections and staining his wife's name would be the end of them.

"It's done, sir," Emerald said.

"Good." Alessandro went back to reading the documents.

For years, he had full control of their family business and he was indeed the beast of the business industry that even his blood won't get away if they make something bad. Their family business was raised by his father and now he had the biggest share. His father was the Chairman and he promised to take over the business if he was planning for a honeymoon or if ever his wife would undergo labor. But now, his wife is enjoying ruling the Golden Age.

His phone started beeping and he checked his wife's message. He stood and took his fountain pen, leaving the documents on the table. His secretary opened the door for him as he walked to his private elevator. Two bodyguards stood at each side. It's time to pick up the package.

At the time that he reached the Golden Age to pick up his wife, he noticed Conrad and Johanna. Then, he thought that they would also come along. He kissed his wife's lips at the time that she sat beside him.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Hmm," She snuggled to him. He nodded at the driver and he patted her head. "You said that you spar with the boys back in high school."

"Yes, through college."

"Teach me some self-defense."

"Sure. If you wake up early in the morning. Or, I'll set up Conrad to teach you."

"I want to see my hubby sweating while working out." She smirked. "Jo and Conrad had already started practicing their knowledge in martial arts." She pouted at him. "I'm kind of jealous that I don't get to see my hubby topless while lifting weights."

He laughed at her.

"That's because you insist on exercising in bed rather than in the gym."

She pouted with frowns.

"I'm lazy."

"Love," he reached her hand. "You should focus on that too. Let's make an hour time for that every day." He caressed her hair. "Wendy's grandfather was strict and she gained a black belt in TaekWondo."

"The heck?" She frowned. "Then, I should start with that."

He chuckled.

"You know judo. Don't worry."

She indeed remembers how she threw her heavy Alessandro on the bed back when they were in high school.

They soon reached the facility where Louise Madison was. The doctor gave them the result of the autopsy. Conrad read it to them and just as he expected.

"Broke ribs was one of the causes and a big damage on the head," Conrad said. "This is a torturous murder."

Johanna wanted to speak but she held herself. She spoke to the person who was conducting an exam. They found DNA on her fingernails and her hair. It's enough to make sure that Wendy Charles was behind her death. But somehow, that bitch fled to America.

The doctor came out and slid another paper to Johanna. Johanna thanked him as she looked at Keira. They easily read each other and they left the facility. Conrad quickly put his hand at Johanna's elbow pulling her close.

"There's a car that has been following us," Conrad said.

Alessandro pulled his wife as the bodyguards covered them. The time that they reached the empty elevator. Johanna and Keira took out the pieces of paper from the envelopes. Since it's only a piece of paper on Johanna she slid it to her chest after folding it.

"Who is it?" Alessandro asked Conrad.

"From the height and body built. One man was from the footage. I am accurate."

The elevator stopped and Alessandro took out his phone and held his wife to protect her. Keira and Johanna were panicking inside their head but they remained calm as they made sure that the results were hidden on their body.

"We are stuck in the elevator," Alessandro said. "Bring more guards in front."

The elevator started again and the bodyguards covered them as they stood in front of them. When the elevator opened, their bodyguard pointed their guns but they stopped when there were only the bodyguards that waited for them in the lobby.

In the foyer, a gunshot echoes in the hall. Conrad pulled Johanna behind him to shield her. Alessandro did the same as their bodyguards fired directly at the shooters. It seemed that they found out that they could find something from it. Keira already had a plan.

Conrad pulled Johanna down as he pulled a gun from his ankle under his jeans.

"Stay." Conrad rushed to the other post and extended his left arm that was holding the gun. He aimed it directly at their wrists. It's a precise shot. He didn't miss it as he focused while the bodyguards were covering him.

Once the front lost both of his hands, they retreated. The security guards have injuries and the police haven't arrived yet. Conrad froze when a man approached Johanna and the bodyguard that's protecting her. He pointed a handgun at Johanna's head as Johanna raised her hand. The guards pointed the gun at him. Conrad's reflexes were automatic as he pointed it at the gun.

"Hand me that!" He demanded. Johanna has no choice but to hand the envelope. "You!" Keira moved closer and gave the envelope.

"Don't hurt her." She pleaded and Alessandro pulled his wife.

The man stepped back after gathering the envelope. He pulled the trigger as the muzzle of the gun was directed to Johanna's head.
