MY BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE THIRTEEN
KAREN Today was Monday, and I had finally left Devon's house. Today, I will be opening my own beauty salon after graduating from two years of learning and training at Andrews Beauty Academy, where I trained as a makeup artist. I graduated at the same time as Alice, but she had started earlier than me while I was still focused on my engagement with Devon at that time. Now that I have nothing else going on, I guess it's a good time to continue pursuing my career. I named my salon "Karen Beauty Home," and besides me, there are two artists. I had managed to save a good amount of money from the funds Devon used to give me before we were engaged, so I used it to hire two more artists to help in my salon. I dream of my beauty salon being the most sought after in New York very soon. "Girls, listen, I hired you because I heard you guys are quite good. I don't want to be disappointed, so I hope you do good work. Today we will be doing a promo since this is our first time

KAREN "Are you trying to say I'm an alien?" she pouted. She looked so cute, and I felt like pinching her cheeks. "No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that I didn't know how to explain it," he tried to explain. "Forget it, I won't be angry with you this time," she said cheerfully. Arnold looked at me, "You are so good, Karen. Why are you not famous?" he asked. I smiled, "Well, it's because I'm new to the makeup artist scene. It hasn't been long since I finished my training," I answered. He nodded in understanding, "I see. I will promote you to my female friends. You're so good." Anna glared at him. "That's a nice way of saying your girlfriend's." "Hey! what are you trying to say? Don't ruin my chance of picking up pretty girls." He joked. We all laughed out. "How much is everything?" he said, ready to pay. "Sorry, but not today. The first three people to come to my beauty salon will not be charged for anything," I replied. "That's

DEVONLooking at the watch, it was 6:30, yet she was nowhere to be found. The party was now finishing up, and many guests had come to toast me.“Mr. Devon, I heard you had a fiancée. Where is she now?” one of them, a brawny man, asked.“She was busy and couldn’t come,” I replied.“I bet you missed her, right?” an old man said jokingly. I only smiled and chose not to comment.“What’s up, Devon?” It was my friend Andrew. “Why did you come just now, Andrew?” I growled. He ignored me and dug into the food.“I can’t allow all this food to go to waste; the party’s almost over, and no one is going to eat it. Remember, Devon, I’m doing you a favor,” he said while digging in.I ignored his rant and asked with a rude face, “I ask you again, Andrew, why the heck are you coming now?”He coughed and drank some wine to calm down. “I was caught up with something earlier; that’s why I’m coming now, satisfied?” He answered and continued eating.“If you dare skip my party next time, I would have skinn

DEVON It was early in the morning, and very few people were on the road. I didn't mind one bit. Right then, I was really furious. Karen really hadn't come to my party last night. I would have visited last night, but I was busy with Laura and we had a few rounds. It was a very long one. But when I woke up this morning, I wasn't feeling too good. The thought of Karen disobeying me filled my mind, and I wasn't okay with it. And I had to punish her to remind her who was boss. I pulled my car into a nearby parking lot. The park wasn't that far from Karen's house. I only had to walk for a bit. I sneaked inside her house. There was no gate in her house, so it was very easy for me to sneak. Having been there before, I easily made my way to her room and opened it without knocking. She was sitting in front of her mirror but was startled by the disturbance at the door. She appeared shocked when she saw me. "What are you doing here, Devon?" She asked in confusion.
MY BILLIONAIRE'S REVENGE SEVENTEEN
KAREN "Ouch!" I cried out in pain. "Sorry, you had to brave up; it would only hurt then, and the pain would be over," Alice said. I smiled at her. "Thank you, Alice." She was applying warm water to the bruise on my head. I was really grateful to her. She had stood up for me when I needed her most, but I was afraid that Devon might get angry at her. She seemed to be aware of what I was thinking. "You worried too much, Karen. Even though the Greys were very powerful, my family wasn't a pushover either. My brother was no less powerful than Devon, only that he wasn't involved in illegal dealings like Devon." Alice tried to assure me. Her family was indeed powerful, unlike me, who only had my mother. But then, what did she mean by Devon getting involved in illegal dealings? "You said that Devon was involved in illegal dealings," I asked. "Yeah, I heard that from my brother," she replied. I nodded. "I will go and bathe now so I can go to work early," I said whi

KAREN "I understood; I can help you." Alice looked at me shocked, but I didn't retract my words. Indeed, I had the confidence of being able to do it. That was the confidence I had in my talent. I hadn't become the best student at the academy for no reason. After all, Andrews Beauty Academy, if not the best, could have been considered the second best when it came to training makeup artists. Being the best student was not an empty title. "Come on, let's get you beautiful," I said and took her hands with me as we made for the makeup room. "Linda, you will be the one to help me," I said to Linda. I had needed both of them to be good, so I always had them watch whenever I was applying makeups to customers. After all, I couldn't attend to every single customer, neither would I be there all the time. After the door was closed, I brought out all the tools for the makeup and made her sit before the mirror. Then I started laying the foundation for the makeup. The ma

KARENEmpire Hotel, one of the largest hotels in the country. I had just arrived and was taking in the view. I breathed lightly; I didn't know what to expect. I hoped we were just going to talk normally. After asking the staff, I made my way to the hotel. They led me to Room 102, and my phone rang; it was Devon. "Hello, if you've reached the room, just go in and wait for me. I'll be coming," he said before disconnecting the call. I looked at the door for a while before mustering up the courage to open it. The room was empty; the scent in it was that of a man, but not Devon's. Something kept telling me that something was wrong. I looked at the room decor; it was well decorated. I sat on the bed while waiting, but I had a deep, bad feeling. I opened my handbag and kept my pepper spray in a strategic position. The door opened, and a tall middle-aged man saw me. He was surprised and beamed. "Isn't this Devon's fiancée? I've been watching him closely, and I know a lot

DEVONNo matter what, I felt like killing the man in front of me. Of course, I was the one who set them up, but still, I felt angry at him for touching my woman. And coming to that, how come my plan didn't work? Was it that Karen fought with her life just to make sure she wasn't raped? No, this must have just been an act; yes, he must have been expecting me. That crafty woman. I looked at her coldly with a smirk. "Did you have to be that vicious?" I said. She stared at me in confusion. "What were you saying, Devon?" she asked. "Don't you think I don't know what you are thinking? You are just putting on an act; you are always pretending," I shouted. "Devon, you... You were the one who set me up, right?" Her eyes are bloodshot. I felt exposed, but I still wasn't going to admit it. "Why would I set you up? I already knew you were a whore, so what's the point? I didn't need evidence." This time, she looked so angry and did something I never expected. S

KAREN“Yeah, my mom told me that during her time, she craved chocolate so much that she ate so much chocolate. Really,” I said to Alice.“Really?” she asked. I nodded.“Well, I’m glad to hear he is good with you. I hope everything would be best for you,” Alice said with a smile.“Alice, thank you for always being there,” I thanked Alice.“Ma’am, your order,” when our order came, we started having our lunch together.After lunch, we went to Alice’s car.“I am dropping you home. Get rest, don’t worry for the salon. I would check again there in the evening,” Alice said, and she drove me home while she went to her salon.After walking into home, I went directly to the room. After taking a shower, I decided to take a nap.I lay on the bed. After some time, I drifted into deep sleep.

KARENRelief washed over me as Alice confirmed what we had thought. The lady who had complained about her facial treatment looked shocked.“I… I had no idea. I’m sorry for causing a scene earlier,” she said in a low tone.“It’s okay. We’re just glad that now you know about this, so you should not use this cream again,” I replied to her.“Now that everything’s fine, can we go back to the salon?” Alice asked from behind.“Yeah, let’s go,” I said to Alice with a smile.The lab technician handed us the test results, and we thanked him before leaving the lab. While Alice and I went in her car, the lady said she would go by cab and left from the lab.As we reached the salon, Linda and Diana were walking in, waiting for the results. Seeing Alice and me coming into the salon, they came towards us.“You’re back! What were th

KARENBut she wasn’t having it. “I don’t care about your investigations!” she said, her face filled with frustration. “If you don’t fix this right now, I’ll make sure everyone knows about the terrible service at this salon. I’ll leave the worst review of your salon!” she said angrily.“Ma’am, please have a seat. Please, calm yourself,” Diana said to her, trying to soothe her anger.However, she was too agitated to listen, her anger boiling over as she threatened to leave a bad review of the salon.Listening to her words, I felt anxiety. Negative reviews could be damaging to our reputation, and I knew I had to find a way to make things in our favor and also make her calm down.As I attempted to understand her complaint, the door swung open again.I looked at the direction of the door and saw Alice there.“Hello, everyone!&

KAREN“Devon, thank you for taking me out for ice cream,” I said, my voice filled with happiness.He glanced at me briefly, then nodded.“It doesn’t mean you can have ice cream instead of a meal every time,” he said in a rude voice.“Yeah, I know,” I replied.I was so into enjoying my ice cream that I didn’t even notice a bit of it had dripped onto the side of my mouth. When I looked at Devon, I could see he was smiling a bit.“There’s a little ice cream on your lip,” he said, pointing to his own mouth.I got confused and tried to wipe it off myself, but Devon shook his head, still smiling. “No, not there,” he said, leaning closer.Before I could say anything, Devon’s hand gently wiped the ice cream off the corner of my mouth. It felt nice when he did that, and I blushed a little, feeling shy.He sat on his

DEVON“That’s why she became unconscious?" I asked the doctor.“Yeah, she will be back to her senses after some minutes. Don’t worry,” the doctor reassured me before leaving the room.When I entered the room, I saw Karen was already awake. She looked at me, confused, and asked, “What am I doing home? I was at the salon. What happened?” She seemed disoriented and weak.“I brought you home. You fainted at the salon,” I explained gently, feeling bad for causing her trouble.“I’m sorry, Devon. I suddenly felt dizzy,” Karen said, embarrassed.As I looked at her feet, I noticed they were red and burned from the spilled coffee. I knew I had to do something. I sat up and went to the cupboard, taking the first aid kit. I sat beside her and took out the ointment from the box.“Let me apply some ointment on your feet,” I suggested g

KARENThe next day, I woke up when the sun’s rays hit my face, causing me to struggle in the pillows. I decided to wake up, and upon opening my eyes, I was greeted with the best view in front of me: my husband’s face.I gazed at him for a while, his words from the previous night still echoing in my mind. His apology had meant so much to me, bringing happiness to my heart.I got up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom. After taking a refreshing shower, I headed downstairs to make breakfast for us.As I descended the stairs, I noticed the maids already at work in the kitchen, preparing for the day ahead. Their presence reminded me of the privilege and comfort that surrounded us, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for all that we had.I went to the kitchen.“Ma’am, do you need anything?” the maid asked.“Yes, please. Could you get me some fresh eggs from

DEVONAfter arriving at the office, I tried to focus on my work, but thoughts of Karen lingered in my mind, disturbing me. Her teary eyes kept haunting me, making me feel like I was in the wrong. I decided to investigate further and made a call.After a few rings, he picked up the call. “Yes, sir?” he replied from the other end.“I need CCTV footage of Karen’s salon and her street from today,” I said to the person on the phone.“Okay, sir. You will have it by evening,” he replied.After the call, I opened my laptop and started reading my emails. Once my work was done, I decided to visit Laura.I went to her home and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, she opened it.“Well, well, well, look who decided to show up,” Laura teased me, leaning against the doorframe.I chuckled, stepping inside. “Couldn’t stay away, could I?” I replied.

KARENHe looked at me, and I went to him and sat beside his chair.“Get him here,” the police commissioner said to the policeman who was standing beside him. He went inside and came back with a man, his face covered with a black mask.“Here he is,” the policeman said to Devon.“And here are your things,” the commissioner said to Devon, while placing my handbag and mobile phone on the table from his drawer.I looked at my things with shocked eyes.“This can’t be true,” I thought to myself.“Check if anything is missing,” the police commissioner said, while pointing at my things.I looked at Devon, seeing him already smirking at me.I took my purse from the table and started looking into it. There was everything inside my bag that the thief took tomorrow.“What should we do with him?” the commissioner asked Devon.&

KAREN“By the way, I’m Jack,” he said, extending his hand in greeting.I shook his hand, smiling. “Nice to meet you, Jack. I’m Karen,” I replied.“And what’s your name?” he asked, directing his attention to her.“Linda,” she replied with a smile.“So, Karen,” he began, turning to me, “when did you start this salon? I don’t remember seeing it here before.”“I started working here a few months ago,” I replied.He nodded and looked at Linda again; she was already looking at him.“So, Linda,” he began, “how long have you been working here?” he asked, directing his attention to her.Linda looked surprised by the sudden attention, but she smiled and answered his questions, starting a conversation with him. As they talked, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there
