A Billionaire's Love Chapter 27
Karen's Pov.The sun hung low above my head as I confidently walked out of the chaotic mansion that had trapped me for months. With my head held high, I didn't bother looking back. I already knew he was watching me. His eyes burned with rage and intensity but I didn't care again, not ever again.For months I had been trying to win him over, bring back the love I thought we used to have…prove my innocence to him but nothing. No matter what I did or how much I tried it still wasn't enough, he hated me so much that even my mere existence was like a stinging pain to his senses.Tears threatened to spill out of my eyelids but I tried my best to hold them back. I couldn't let him see me break, those times were long dead and now I was a new woman and not someone he could just play around with. Reaching my hands to my face I wipe the tear drops that had slipped out of my eyelids. I hailed a cab and when it stopped right in front of me, I couldn't help but look back at the hell gates I once c

Lauren's Pov.“Where do you think you're going Lauren?” Devon's voice stopped me as I was about to make my way out of the door. I didn't bother answering him. I threw my hair back disregarding his questions and continued my stroll outside the house.He cursed from under his breath. “I asked you a question Lauren.” I could already feel his rage from where I stood but I didn't falter. “Where do you think you're going dressed like that?” I paused, looking back at him. “I hope you realize that now that your beloved wife is gone you can't boss me around.” I shot back at him.Maybe Karen could take his bullshit behavior but there was a difference between being a wife and a mistress and he couldn't treat me the way he liked.I was glad to have Karen finally out of the house but I was not about to be her replacement.I could see his muscles tighten as his face blazed with rage. “Everyone already knows you're my mistress. So having you go out like that would also taint my reputation.” He gr

Karen's Pov The ceiling stood looming above my head as I opened my eyes, a throbbing headache instant coursing through my head.My hands wiped my sleepy eyes trying to shake off the fatigue. Finally opening my eyes I took a brief glance at my surroundings; King-size mattress, White room, sofa and luxurious furnishings.My eyes widened in realization. Where was I? Last thing I could remember was the club, music and … Stephan. Everything happened so fast but one thing I was sure of was that he drugged me. But how? He wasn't there when I ordered the drink, everything else was given by the bartender. Could it be that he somehow has some connections? My chest tightened in anger, my blood boiling. That freaking bastard.As if adding more flames to my marriage wasn't enough wound he still wanted to destroy my life even more. If it hadn't been for that stranger or whoever it was that stopped God knows what would have happened.Immediately standing up from the large mattress, I looked around

Karen's Pov The brisk air hit my face as I stepped outside the apartment door, a welcome to the confusion began swirling in my mind. I took a deep breath, trying to center myself. The sky stood high casting its usual glow but this time it only felt like it was mocking me. I had escaped one nightmare, but my real battle lay ahead.I couldn’t shake the feeling of vulnerability that lingered after my encounter with Liam and Conrad. They had helped me, yes, but who were they really? My instincts screamed caution and trust was a luxury I couldn’t afford at the moment.As I walked down the street, my heart raced at the thought of facing Devon again. I had to confront him, to reclaim my sense of self and dismantle the twisted hold he had over me. The last thing I wanted was to fall back into his manipulative web. Not ever again.I pulled out my phone, hesitating over the contact list. My fingers trailed stopping at his name, the very sight of it sending a cold shiver down my spine. Memories

Karen's Pov.I opened the door slightly revealing a man who stood tall with his back to me looking through the glass of the skyscraper. “Good morning.” I started, closing the door behind me.“I wasn't expecting any more-” He paused as our eyes crashed, realization dawning on my face. “Liam?”His shocked expression soon melted into a smile. “Oh Karen, what a coincidence!” He chuckled, stepping away from the window and to his desk.“I didn't expect to see you so soon.” “Neither did I,” I replied, stepping into the room, trying to shake off the flutter of emotions that his presence stirred in me.I didn't expect Liam to be financially unstable but neither did I expect him to be the CEO of Lex Operate. I tried to hold up my strained smile, printing it plastered on my face. My legs shaked as I moved closer to his work desk standing just a few inches away from the chair.“Take a seat.” At his command I made my way into the child slipping into delicately while trying to mask my nervousnes

Karen's Pov.I took in a deep breath stepping into the restaurant. Liam had somehow managed to email me the address. Probably getting my address from the receptionist. The restaurant was a reach furnishings and the aroma strong with luxurious meals. Stepped into the restaurant immediately spotting Liam at the far end of the restaurant his eyes positioned directly on the phone screen. He wore his usual black suit that hugged tightly on his body.Clearing my throat to get his attention, his head suddenly shot up meeting my eyes. My heart raced feeling the weight of his gaze. “Oh, Karen.” He stood, extending his arm for a handshake.”I almost thought you'd make it.” He chuckled.I took his hand, shaking back.” Why wouldn't I? Strictly business isn't it.” “Of course.” His smile deepenedI took my seat opposite him dropping my file back on the table. He positioned his tie properly before taking the file again but in less than two minutes he placed it back on the table.“Well, I think the

Karen's Pov I twisted and turned, feeling restless in my bed. The night was cold and lonely and I still couldn't get any rest. Images of Devon kept appearing in my mind. From how loving he used to be up until how he became after our marriage. Tears welled up in my eyes, falling to the mattress. I clutched my body hugging them as the tears continued streaming down my eyes. Where it all went wrong.My thoughts wandered to Liam. The offer... It was so tempting. But the more I thought about it the more I realized how little I knew about Liam. He was kind, yes, but I still barely knew him despite the fact that he saved me. My mind still didn't want to fully relax with him.I groaned, massaging my temples. I couldn’t think straight. The anxiety was too suffocating.Deciding to get out of bed, I walked to the window and stared out at the city lights wondering what I would do. My mind racing. I didn't know if I was prepared for the kind of change I was stepping into.The sound of my phone vi

Employees shaking abd trembling in fear while others shielding from my gaze afraid of what I could do or what would come next. Grey Tech was facing it's down day and things needed to be done to get it back to it's former glory. I paused in front of my day looking above my shoulders as the low murmurs stop noticing my sudden movement.“I didn't receive yesterday's folder.” I started my voice laced with distant.”Why?”The entire workers froze at my voice before a middle-aged man from the tech department came forward.“Y-yes sir. It still needed so corrections so I was hoping to deliver it today.” His voice shook and I could already see his body giving in to the fear he felt.“Incompetent” He shot back, irritation clear in my tone. They could never do anything right and it only made me pissed.I turned to back facing my office oak door. “You're fired.” I didn't need to look back I could already fee
