Ms. Billionaire

Chapter - 40

Katherine's POV

I closed my eyes and welcomed the fresh very much needed breeze on my face while willing to calm my racing heart. Seeing him directly after five years made me throw any logical thoughts I had into thin air and run into his arms. He looked ravishing. But, I had to control myself and run as far as possible from him. I may look like a coward for doing this to him. But I have to do this for the person I love.

I stilled as I felt his presence behind me. Lionel was that kind of man who had a calming effect on people. His aura oozed with love and care. It always made me wrap his strong arms around my body lose myself in his warmth. But now, his presence radiated power and strength that could intimidate any man that breathed the same air as him. He wasn't the same heartbroken, crying man that I left five years ago. He was a cut throat businessman who could make women fall at his feet with just a look in their direction. He was a beast now. But behind that facade of a beast, I could sense the Lionel who only knew how to love . It was unnerving and a huge turn on at the same time. But it wasn't the right time to drool at this sexy beast behind me. It was time to turn my bitch mode on.

"Oh well, just the person who wanted to get me alone. What a not so pleasant surprise Mr. Lawson." I said, with venom lacing each word. Though it clenched my weak heart to hurt him like that, I had to do this. He wasn't supposed to be here. He should stay away from me. As far as possible for his own good.
He smirked at my words and put his hands in his pockets. The action caused his biceps to flex and I almost drooled at the sight. I deny the fact that he looks hotter than he did five years ago.

I was snapped out of my lustful thoughts when I heard him speak again.
"An unpleasant surprise indeed Ms. Xavier. I thought you were dead and rotting six feet underground when your brother took over as CEO. But apparently bitches have a longer life. So, you're the CEO again. Why is that?  Nobody's giving you attention unless you're in some position uh?" He said, taunting me. He's really getting good at comebacks.

I smiled with pride at his little development. But I had to up my game if I have to make him hate me. So I had to say the words that I'll regret fo the rest of my life. "Oh, Mr. Lawson, you're still bad at come backs. You're still a weak pathetic loser that I dumped five years ago. Moreover, why did you go to Capo di Capi for? To beg him . So that he'd talk me into taking you back? How pathetic. Now that I think of it, I did the right thing. Dumping you was the best decision I made. " I sneered at him and expected him to throw a mean comment at me.

But his beautiful vibrant blue eyes turned dark and I knew the familiar look on his face. It was of pure desire but this time it was mixed with dominance. He took a step towards me and I took one backwards. This predator and prey game continued till my back hit the railing and I knew that I had no where to escape. His new found dominance pissed me off since I was always the dom in a relationship. But somewhere deep inside, a part of me was extremely turned on. My mouth told him to stay away but my body wanted his touch.

I wanted to feel his rough hands all over my body. My eyes zoomed in on his soft lips and before my brain could process what was happening his lips touched my in a hungry kiss. We were both starving for each other. I poured all my feelings into the kiss before realising my mistake. I pushed him off with all my might and boy he did grow a lot of muscles after I broke his heart.

"So, you're telling me that this was fake? What are you hiding Kate. Spill it already. I know you want me. " He begged me. I could see it in his eyes that he was sincere. After all these years, Lionel wanted to know that he still has a chance to fix this... He was trying to do what I didn't want him to do.

I almost lost my self control to the guilt that weighed on my shoulders. With a new determination I decided to tell him a part of the truth because I couldn't bring him to my messed up life. But a screeching voice of a girl made me halt and I saw a Barbie wannabe hanging off from Lionel's shoulders.

"Lioney baby! You won't believe what happened just now. That dumb dog poured wine all over my dress." Barbie rambled while running her hands all over him. The green monster crept its way all over my mind and my hands itched to shoot this walking STD in between her eyes.
" I would take my hands off him if I  were you Barbie. " I threatened her in my no nonsense voice. But apparently, Barbie's don't have a functional brain.
" Who do you think you are whore?! " She screeched with her pig like voice. Before my mind could register my actions ,there was a bullet hole in her forehead while my hands dropped to my sides releasing the gun that  just took her life.

I turned to see a shocked Lionel looking at Barbie's dead body without blinking his eyes. But shock wasn't the only thing that was present on Lionel's face. There was a red light right in between his beautiful eyes.

Lionel's POV

I looked at Mandy's dead body in shock. I still couldn't believe that Kate could take somebody's life so easily. Mandy was an annoying woman but she didn't deserve to die. My lungs felt like it was deprived of oxygen and I suddenly released a breath I didn't recognize I was holding.

This incident was sure going to haunt me in my dreams through out my existence. I heard the sound of a gunshot and suddenly felt my body hit the ground right next to Mandy's body whose cold dead eyes stared right at me.
