Ms. Billionaire

Chapter - 64

Third person POV

Lionel groaned at the light hitting his eyes and he rubbed it sleepily. He yawned as he stretched his body and turned to his side to see his wife who was still asleep. The smile that appeared on his face quickly disappeared when he remembered that Kevin was sleeping in the next room. He was really disappointed at his futile attempts to keep Kevin far away from Katherine. He quietly got out of bed, making sure to not wake her up and walked towards the restroom. He knew that his mood wasn’t going to be good unless Kevin was shipped away to some far place. Preferably mars.

He silently cursed his fate as he walked out of the room and froze in his steps as he saw the familiar unpleasant face. Kevin stood there, smiling as he watched out of the window with coffee in his hand. Unlike Lionel, Kevin’s mood was very pleasant. He quietly hummed a song as he took a sip of his coffee. Lionel rolled his eyes. He silently considered pushing the blonde from the window. A fall from that height would really crack his head open but he didn’t act on it because he knew that Katherine would be pissed if he did that. Instead, he decided to throw insults at him. "Why are you squealing like a pig this early in the morning?" He spat. Kevin turned around at the voice and smirked when he saw Lionel’s irritated face. "Ms. Xavier likes it when sing, so you can keep your opinions to yourself." Kevin said, with a smirk. Lionel chuckled sarcastically "Pretty sure she felt pity at your lack of talent. Maybe she was feeling kind enough to be polite."

Kevin clenched his jaw, he wasn't going to give up. "The only pitiful person here you Mr. Lawson. I hope now you realise that I'm more important to Ms. Xavier than her so called husband." He said proudly, knowing that his words hit him. Though Lionel didn't show it, his words stung. Kevin might not be more important than Lionel but he knew that Kevin did really hold an important place in her life and that didn't sit well with Lionel. "Well, I'm the so called husband your boss cuddles to sleep at the end of the day." Lionel said as he took a step closer to Kevin. "No matter who you are or how important you are to her. At the end of the day, I'm the one she comes home to. I'm her husband and you're her employee. Your importance ends right there. You should give up before you embarass yourself." Lionel said and walked off to his office and shut the door with a loud bang.

He felt a little good for telling off Kevin but his anger didn't subside. Kevin clenched his fist around the mug tightly. He knew that Lionel was right. No matter what he did, his little victories with Katherine meant nothing when compared to Lionel's place as her husband. The mug shattered in his hand, giving in to the pressure. Kevin snapped out of his anger as soon as he heard Katherine's startled voice. "Oh my god Kevin, you are bleeding." Katherine said looking at his hand that bled heavily.

Kevin was surprised at the amount of blood that gushed out of his wound. He was even more surprised when Katherine held his hand to inspect the wound. "This might need stitches. Let's wash it first." She said pulling him with her. She helped him wash the wound and ordered him to sit in the living room and wait for her. Kevin obliged without hesitation. He was on cloud nine to get so much attention from her. Katherine brought the first aid kit and disinfected the wound. "Does it hurt too much?" She asked as she applied the medicine. Katherine was relieved when she saw that the bleeding had stopped. "No Ms. Xavier. I feel fine now that you're taking care of it." Kevin said. Katherine chuckled at him. "I still don't understand how anyone could be such a trouble magnet. Here, I've bandaged it. Be careful while using that hand." Katherine said closing the first aid kit.

Kevin was about to thank her but stopped when he saw Lionel walking into the room from the corner of his eye. He held his hand and winced as if he was in pain to get Katherine's attention and he was successful. "I think you need to see a doctor. You may need medication for the pain." Katherine said worried. Lionel clenched his fist at their interaction. Kevin was about to protest but Katherine shushed him sternly.

Lionel realised that it was time for him to beat Kevin at his own game and he quickly utilised this opportunity. " Kate is right Mr. Sinclair, you need immediate medical attention. I'll drive you to the hospital." He chimed, picking up his car key. Katherine was quite pleased at her husband's behaviour and it left no room for Kevin to protest.Lionel quickly typed in a message to his friend, Drake, as Kevin quitely followed him. "Make it hurt."

The ride to the hospital was filled with awkward silence that neither of them tried to break. Lionel slammed on the brake hard as he stopped in front of the hospital making Kevin almost choke on the seatbelt. He gave him a nasty stare to which Lionel just returned the fakest smile he could muster. Drake immediately understood the message as soon as he saw blondie walk in with Lionel. He smirked having creative ideas for his special patient. "What happened Mr. Sinclair?" Drake said, trying to sound concerned. "Eclairs doesn't know how to hold a cup." Lionel mocked as they entered the treatment room. Kevin bit his tongue not wanting to argue. "I just need some medicine for the pain, Ms. Xavier took care of the wound." He said, annoyed.

" Oh really, let me take a look." Drake said, holding Kevin's hand a little too hard than necessary. Kevin winced as pain shot through him. He didn't want them to know that he was hurting. It would mean that he lost to them." It is not dressed properly, let me take a look at the wound." Drake said ripping the bandage off quickly and in a painful way. Kevin almost screamed in pain but he just bit his lip harder. " Can you be a little more gentle?" He spat at the doctor, clenching his teeth in rage. Drake smirked, looking at Lionel who returned the same expression." I guess he can't take it rough." They mocked as they Snickered at him. Before Kevin could come up with an insult at the duo, Drake chimed in. "This wound needs stitches." He declared leaving no room for discussion. Kevin opened his mouth to protest but Drake shushed him immediately. "It's going to get infected otherwise. I might have to cut off your hand later." He said looking innocent. Kevin Snickered. "Are you sure you're a doctor? I don't think you know what you're doing." He said looking doubtful.

"Don't worry Mr. Sinclair, I'm going to take very good care of your hand." Drake said with a devilish smile as he held an injection in his hand. Kevin's eyes quickly widened at the sight of it and he asked what it was for. "This is just to numb the area around your wound so that it wouldn't hurt when I suture it." Kevin relaxed at his explanation. But little did he know that it was only distilled water in that injection. Though it was against his medical ethics, Drake did not hesitate to teach Kevin a lesson. He wouldn't just sit by and watch Kevin tear Lionel's life apart. Drake prepared to suture Kevin's hand and said before piercing the needle into his skin " Don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all."

Kevin's scream had even Lionel feel bad for him. Not much but a little bad. Kevin had tears steaming down his eyes by the end if the procedure. Drake carefully bandaged it, not wanting to hurt him anymore. Kevin had so many insults to hurl at Lionel but kept his mouth shut until they were back in the car. " Don't think you've won just because you could hurt me today." Kevin said, locking his seatbelt. "Today's incident shows just how childish and undeserving you are to be her husband. "

Lionel chuckled at his words." You can call me all the names you want but I hope today's incident will remind you that I won't sit quiet if you try messing with my family. I will not let anyone take my woman from me."
