The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 104 - Ultimate Killing Machine

It was already seven in the evening when Harvey received a message from Conrad about the Ultimate Killing Machine that Charles Empire built. Since the Charles Empire were dealing with underground business despite the wine business that they have as a fa?ade. This is something that they should have finished years ago. He shook his head as he clicked his tongue.

"Poor guy. Unfortunately, he can't leave Anna or else, the man would eventually go after her." Harvey mumbled.

"What is it?" MJ asked as she cuddled on his naked chest.

"It's Conrad." He caressed her hair as he sent him a message not to worry.

"Hmm?"

"Unfortunately, Victor is alive and they modified him to Ultimate Killing Machine."

MJ lifted her head and looked up at him.

"You can't be serious." MJ knew well who Victor was. Conrad almost lost his life in that battle.

"Yes." He nodded her head. "I think I should finish them off." He kissed her forehead.

"Don't go." She pouted at him. "Let them finish those bastards. Okay?"

Harvey couldn't say no to her. But he wanted to see those bastards getting ripped.

"It won't take long."

MJ sighed.

"He can't find your base, right?"

"They aren't good at that." He sat up. "He's still watching over Conrad at the moment." He kissed her forehead. "Stay here. I will leave for a while to visit someone."

MJ nodded and reached his pillow.

"I'll be here before you know it." He kissed her lips and she watched him dressed up. "Sleep, dear. You have a long day tomorrow."

Harvey left his room and made sure that his woman was safe. Then, he went down to the torture room and they seemed to have fun.

"Cut off the thing," Harvey told them.

"One by one?" Viper asked, confused.

"Yes,"

"Nice!" They cheered up.

After watching their penis gets cut off. He left the torture room. Then, he finally left the base and used his motorbike to go to the villa. It's tight security but he knew well where to sneak.

Karmina was a little tired with this simple celebration. It's already ten in the evening and so, she went up to her room without any nurse attending her. She's somehow done with her therapy and so, she gave her nurse two days off. She entered her room and closed it. Suddenly, she felt a wind entering her room. She shivered and turned around. Did she leave the balcony open?

She froze when a silhouette of a man with a cap on stepped out of the shadow. He's tall and lean and she thought that he'd kill her. She turned on the lights quickly and stared at the man. Her heart nearly jumped out, but this time it seemed to stop for a second.

"Henry?" She mumbled. But when she recognized him further, she covered her mouth.

"Mama," Harvey whispered. Karmina's hand started shaking as she took heavy steps. "It's me…"

"Harvey," She whispered. Her eyes were wide as she stared at his dark clothes and then at his face. She reached his face, as hot tears started falling. "Harvey…"

"Yes, it's me." Harvey sighed and scooped her mother's face. "I miss you."

"You~~You are here. Is this a dream?" She swallowed the lump on her throat hard as she started sobbing. "Please don't wake me up…" She mumbled.

"Mama, it's not a dream." Harvey gently led her to bed and made her sit. Then, he knelt in front of her and removed his cap.

Karmina sobbed hard as she squeezed her son's face.

"H~How?"

"Mom, please calm down. Your heart can't take it yet." Harvey said. "I'll stay with you for a while." He said softly. He stood, locked the door, turned off the main lights, and left the lampshade on. He knelt in front of her again and looked up at her mother. Karmina catches her breath as she rubs her chest.

"Water?" He asked. She nodded at him as he quickly fetched her a glass bottle of water and gave it to her. She sipped on it and breathed. Harvey carefully wiped his mother's tears. He felt so in pain seeing her cry like this. He put away the bottle and reached both of her hands as he kissed both of them. "I miss you."

"I miss you, so~~much." She bent down and kissed his forehead. Finally, the warmth that he's been seeking from his mother. "Keira has to know!"

"Mom, calm down. Listen to me." He said softly. "Keira already knew that I was here. She's the one who helped me to enter the villa. I'm sorry that they have to fake my death."

"What?"

"Dad didn't know at first. But he kept it from everyone because I was dangerous. I couldn't control myself, I became their puppet…" He sighed. "I don't want to tell you the details. But for now, you have to be safe, always. I am watching over you and Keira."

"You aren't going to be with us?" She asked.

"No." He shook his head. "You are safer that way. No one can know that I am alive."

Karmina sighed and touched her son's handsome face.

"You grew well and handsome, my boy."

He smiled.

"Mama, I~I fell in love and I am also engaged. It's my birthday and I would like to ask one thing."

"Anything! Oh~anything my sweet son." She kissed his forehead.

"Can you design my fiance's engagement ring and our wedding ring?"

"Of course!" She hugged him. "I always kept the designs. Keira and I had plans for your wedding too."

Harvey hugged his mother back. The scent of familiarity coming from his mother suddenly comforts him. It made him a person. The real Harvey.

"Do you want to eat? I can make your favorites?"

"There's no need, mom. Maybe next time?"

She pulled out and scooped her son's face. She's too emotional at this moment and he knew that surprising her like this would make her too surprised.

"Mom, I promise to visit you. I will see how. I have to be careful so no one would know about my relationship with you and Keira. The two of you are already in a big danger and I won't add anything new. Because they will use you against me."

"You can tell me. I will listen. I will be open-minded." Karmina said.

Harvey took out an old phone from a pouch. It's small but it's handy. The phone was made by Viper and Violet, their technology nerds. He wanted to communicate with his mother so she won't be sad after this.

"I will contact you about this. I can call you or send you a message. The charger is here and you can set up a pin. It also had self-destruction just in case."

"Harvey," Karmina was confused.

"Mom. I'm not the same Harvey as before. Lots of things have changed."

"You must be lonely all these years," Karmina said softly. "I wish that I take care of you… and watch you become a man."

"I wish that too, Mama." He kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. After all of these, I promise to let you treat me like a little boy."

Karmina chuckled and sighed. She missed him so much.

"I wish to cook for you, my boy." She sighed. "Keira will be so happy."

"I know. I wish that too." He pursed his lips. "I missed your cooking. I miss everything,"

"You can visit anytime, my baby." She said softly. "I love you." She kissed his forehead and hugged him again.

"I love you too," Harvey whispered. He let his mother hug her for a while and he gently pulled out. "I will go now."

He stood and pressed his lips hard to his mother's head. Karmina stood as she watched her son put the cap on and use the balcony to leave. She quickly rushed to the balcony and watched her son move fast and hide in the shadows from the guard. She reached her heart and although it was replaced, her love for him stays. He just looked like his father very much. And although he doesn't come from her, she loved him with all of her heart as she does to her daughter.

Karmina finally locked the door of her balcony and closed the curtains.

"Mina," A man knocked on the door. She wiped her tears and went to the door and unlocked it.

"Alex?" She asked.

"Well, I was just checking you." He said. "We can't take things lightly now."

"I know. I am fine. I will sleep now." She said softly.

"Are you alright?" Alex asked. "Have you been crying?"

Karmina smiled at him.

"I am good." She opened the door wider. "Good night." She tiptoed and kissed his cheeks. Then, he nodded and she closed the door.

Karmina sighed and looked at the phone that his son gave. She took it out from the pouch and the phone was lightweight. She didn't know what model it was but she can slide it anywhere and it's small too. These keypads are like the old phones. She turned it on and set up her password. Then, a message came as it vibrated.

H: I love you, Mama. I will always watch over you and Keira.

Her heart melted as she hugged the phone. She still couldn't believe that her son was alive. Now, she won't just live for Keira, but for Harvey too. She just wished that her husband could see this and know about this. He would be happy wherever he was.
