Chapter 369 - Before And After The Tragedy

A day before the tragedy.

Violet stayed with Kal in the morning and helped him open the gifts. He was happy. But he mostly clung to her like he knew that she's gonna leave. She spoke to him but he was always about to cry. Now that he's happy she doesn't want him to cry. Kal was sniffling when Violet put a few of her things into her bag.

"Mimi!" Kal wailed as Violet continued packing.

"I will be back." She patted Kal's head.

"Kal, your Mimi will be back," Leon said.

"Yeah, I will even come here to pick you up," Ian told him but the boy kept wailing and didn't let go of Violet's leg.

"Mimi!" He screamed in high pitch.

Her heart ached while her darling was throwing a tantrum. Harvey picked up Kal who quickly pushed his face as he struggled to get down. He screamed aloud and Harvey put him down. Violet put her jacket on and picked up Kal who stopped crying and smiled at her.

"I'm sorry baby." She kissed Kal's forehead. "I will come back and pick you up. Okay?"

His lips wobbled and he cried harder than before. He hugged her neck and continued crying.

"We need to leave," Leon said as Violet took Kal with her downstairs. The boy stopped crying as he wiped his tears and his nose using his shirt. He smiled when he thought that he was going with them. But then, Violet gave him to Terrence. Kal looked betrayed.

"Mommy will come back to pick you up. I promise."

He screamed aloud and wiggled from Terrence's arm.

"Kal," Violet raised her voice a little but Kal continued throwing tantrums. "Hey, I will call you." She took the tablet from Maxine and gave it to him. "Mommy will call you. I promise."

"Lab, lab, Mimi." He said while crying. She kissed his forehead and then his cheeks.

"Stop crying now. Mommy loves you. Ten days. Give me ten days." She told him as she looked at Maxine. "Ten days." She said it was like a promise.

"Kal, mommy will be back," Maxine told him. Kal was still pouting and tearing as he held the tablet.

"I love you, Kal. Mommy will be back really fast." She said as she put down her bag. "Hug me a little more."

Kal quickly spread his arms to hug her then, she gave him back to Terrence and wiped her tears. He watched as his mother left again and Maxine hugged Kal to comfort him.

In the jet plane. Harvey was reviewing a few things while Leon was speaking to someone before they went on board.

"This is bad." Leon hung up and faced them. "We need to get back to the Philippines before it is over."

"What?" Harvey asked. He shook his head. "Call Johanna. She knows what to do."

Leon quickly called Johanna and explained a few things.

"Johanna speaks so calmly. She's cool." Leon said as he sat down.

"She's always cool," Violet said as she relaxed on her seat and reclined it. "Don't make any loud noise. I'm going to sleep."

Johanna stared at the gun. It's been a long time since she last held one. She exhaled slowly and assembled it fast then she pointed it to Connor in front of him who hadn't finished assembling his gun. He sighed and raised his hands.

"You won again." He gently pushed the gun away and he bent down to kiss her lips. He didn't care if agents were watching them. She pushed him

"We will do a fast dry run." She told him. "I need exercise."

"Let's try the ninja exercise."

"Really?" She raised her brows. "You are challenging me for that?"

"Why not?" He grinned at her.

"Fine,"

She stretched out and stared at the things that they were going to run through. It needs agility and strength. She exhaled slowly and looked at her fiance.

"If I win, let's get married by tomorrow." He grinned at her.

"Fine,"

She got into position and then Connor followed her. They looked at the man who was counting and then he whistled as Connor and Johanna raced. It takes a minute until Johanna reaches the end. She was faster than any of them and Connor only stayed in the middle and watched her do those ninja moves.

Everyone was gaping at Johanna's speed and precision. No one could ever master something like that unless she was trained from the very first.

Johanna reached the end as she turned to her fiancee who only stayed in the middle. He raised his thumb but she rolled her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed after her man stopped in the very middle.

"Seriously? I am not doing this with you again." She said as she jumped off from the stage and took the towel that Connor gave to her.

"You are amazing back there." He grinned at her.

They went back to the mansion to have a bath and probably make love. Connor always uses protection since she doesn't want to get pregnant again. The couple was active when it came to that. That's why Connor wanted to marry her right away because he's afraid that if she met someone better, she might leave him and their baby.

"That's it." Johanna pushed him. "We can't do it again and I have to feed Quinn."

"Quinn is doing fine." He grabbed her waist and hugged her. "I just love you, Hannah." He whispered. So, I'm going to cook. Anything special?"

"No." She shook her head. Suddenly her phone rang as she quickly answered it. She listened to Leon's message. "Okay." She remained calm from all of the things he said.

"Who is it?" Connor asked as he kissed her nape.

"It's Leon. I'm going to prepare something. Take care of our daughter."

Connor was disappointed when she went to the closet as she quickly put fresh clothes on.

"Make sure that she drinks the milk from the fridge." She told him.

"Yes, boss."

Johanna went out of their room but Keira was already outside grinning. Keira quickly hugged her, which made Johanna a little curious about her happiness.

"So?" Johanna asked as Keira showed something to her. Then, Keira squealed in excitement. "Ohhh," Johanna smiled and patted her little sister's head.

A Day After the Incident

They are gathered in the family's room as they listen to the news after they recover Keira's body. Karmina was silently crying but they all stopped when Alessandro entered with the clothes that he still wore from last night. He was clutching something in his hand. He stared at the television and looked at everyone.

"Where's my wife?" He asked but no one answered. "I want to see her now."

"Sandro," Alex approached his son and hugged him as Alessandro stared at the television. It was all over the news on how his wife passed away.

"That's not true!" He gritted his teeth as he remembered what Keira said. 'We can't die.' "No!" He screamed at them. "Bring my wife now!" He breaks down in tears. "Please, mom." He called his wife. His chest tightens, tears are rolling down. "Please tell me that she's not gone!" He screamed. "Please!"

"Sandro," Alex hugged him tightly.

"Dad…" Alex pushed his father and gripped on his shirt. "She can't be dead. How about our baby? Huh?"

Everyone was surprised about what he revealed as a plastic stick fell on the floor.

"Keira is pregnant," Johanna said while she's holding her daughter. "She wanted to surprise everyone."

They all stopped and looked at Johanna. Karmina stood and approached her.

"Is that true?" Karmina asked her.

"Yes," Johanna bit her lips. Henry quickly approached his wife and coaxed her.

"Let's go," Henry whispered to her. Karmina held on to her husband, shocked by what she learned. Gently, Henry takes her back to their room as they are still gathered inside, except for Harvey who was away to fix a few things.

"Johanna! You know where my wife is, right?" Alessandro approached her desperately.

"Please, wait," Johanna said. No tears came out from her although her eyes were red. "Sandro, can you wait for a little more? Harvey will bring her home."

Alessandro turned back as he grabbed his hair. He walked out of the room, looking desperate, in pain. His father followed him anywhere he would go. Because last night, he also nearly killed himself to be with his wife. It was more painful that she learned that he also lost their unborn child with his wife.

"How can I lose both?" Alessandro mumbled. "It was all her." He continued mumbling. "I will kill her. I will kill her and torture her to death."

"Sandro," Alex held him.

"Dad! My wife died in front of me. Then I learned that she's pregnant with our baby! It won't be okay! I need to be with her!"

Meanwhile, in the master's bedroom, Karmina was rubbing her chest as she thought of their Princess. She was in pain, more in pain like her heart was slowly being ripped apart. It was bleeding too much. Her husband kneels one knee in front of her and holds her hand.

"Mina," He called. "Calm down."

"No," She gasped. "How can I calm down? Our baby girl…" She burst into more tears, sobbing in pain.

"Mina!" Henry raised his voice and scooped his face. "It will be alright. Everything will be alright.." Henry said like a promise.
