Ms. Billionaire

Chapter - 54

Third persons POV

Drakes eyebrows scrunched up as he studied Katherines blood test results. Lionel was getting impatient and Kate was very calm. It almost looked like she was plotting somebodys death. Please tell me shes not going to die. Lionel asked his friend with his eyes full of hope. Drake looked up at his friend rolling his eyes at Lionels urgency.

Shes not going to die. Drake said flatly.

Really?! Lionel asked him, excited to know that Katherine is fine. Drake snorted at his friends stupidity. No, but thats what you told me to say. Drake said, pissing Lionel off.

What the fuck is wrong with you asshole? Lionel snapped at him, his patience wearing thin. Your chick does not have cancer. Drake said ignoring Lionels question.

So. Im not dying? Katherine questioned Drake.

Nah, youre still dying but it will not be from cancer. Drake said waving his hands off as if it wasnt a big deal. Lionel silently grabbed the paper weight from Drakes desk and aimed it to the latters head. Drake choked up on his own spit when he realized what his friend was about to do. Unless. I may have a solution where I can make sure she doesnt die anytime soon. He said hurriedly. Lionel put the paper weight down once he got the answer he was looking for from his friend.

Katherines immune system is slowly dying due to the toxin. I can treat her but you should make sure that shit isnt injected into her body again. Dont worry about the panic attack because its actually doing you more good than bad. Drake explained.

How? Lionel asked curiously.

Well, T33 reduces the heart rate to a dangerous level. She could actually die. So, her frequent panic attacks will raise her heartbeat so its kind of good at this point. Just make sure your girl takes her meds properly and well continuously follow up on her condition. So, your first task is to kill that motherfucker so that he doesnt poison anybody else. Drake said scrunching his nose.

Katherine looked at the doctor as if he was the dumbest being she had met in her life. I have no medical knowledge but that sounds like the stupidest thing Ive ever heard.

Drake blinked at her straightforwardness. She was right but this was the only theory he had and he hoped it would work out, because there was no other way, he could raise her pulse without damaging her cardiac muscles. He hadnt treated anyone with T33 poisoning. This was his first case so he was just going on instinct.

Well, do you have any brilliant idea other than mine? Drake asked Katherine, crossing his arms in defense.

Yeah. Katherine said confidently. But I dont think your pea brain could process it. She roasted him with a smirk on her face.

Drake frowned at her insult but winced when the action made his damaged nose bleed again.

He quickly wiped the blood with a tissue.

You know. Sometimes I wonder who among you is the beauty and the beast in your relationship. He said looking at his friend as he chuckled.

Lionels frown disappeared at the mention of his lady. He looked at her fondly.

I dont know whether Im the beauty or the beast. But my girl here is definitely my beautiful beast. He said, flicking her nose teasingly.

Drakes mind overwhelmed with happiness and guilt. He was happy that his friend found his love but he also felt a little guilty for wanting the woman his friend loved. Drakes wife Sophia was a good woman but no woman had never made Drake feel the way Katherine Xavier made him feel. Drake dropped his pen to bring the couple out of their loving moment.

Its settled then, so if you two love birds take your mushy stuff out of my office I can get to work immediately. Drake said dismissing them.

Lionel snorted at his friend and ushered Kate out of the cabin after saying a quick colorful bye to his friend. You guys are weird. Kate said smiling at the boys antics.

Oh babe, if you think this is weird, you should see us when we are drunk out of our minds. He joked putting his arm around her. He trusted drake. He knew that his friend would definitely come up with something to save Katherine. For the first time, he started to have hope. Maybe he really could get his happily ever after.

But he had one more work to do. He was going punch Dr. Logan Parker in the face. With a red-hot iron rod. Preferably wrapped in barbed wire.

We are not killing Logan so get whatever thoughts you are having about him out of your mind. Kate said calmly.

What do you mean we are not killing him? Lionel asked Kate as if she was out of her mind.

He was definitely not letting him go without any consequences. With the little knowledge Lionel learned from Ryder, Logan was screwed. Being a council member is of highest position in the mafia. But if the said council member betrayed and poisoned the Capo, then youre screwed. According to the Spanish mafia law, Logan should be receiving the worst tortures in the deepest part of the mansions dungeon.

If Logan tried to poison me, then all my mafia members are to be suspected until further investigation. My council members are the people I trust the most. But now, its going to change. Ill be forming a temporary team. You, Ryder, Ravi, Drake and Jarvis. We should act like we dont suspect anyone. Thats the only way we can find the mole. Kate said with a blank face. She was a Capo and she could fit that role perfectly when she wanted.

Okay then, I think it is a good idea. Ill inform Ravi and Drake. You inform Ryder and Jarvis. Well get to work soon. Lionel said getting into his business mode. Katherine turned off the earpiece and put her hand on Lionels chest to stop him from calling Ravi.

Ravi, Jarvis and Ryder are informed. You just have to inform that buffoon friend of yours. She said smiling.

Lionel was confused by her words but before Lionel could ask Kate interrupted him. I had those three on call. She tapped her earpiece to show him. Lionel chuckled at her efficiency. Now that they know whats happening. It was game time.
