The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 247 - The Queen

3 Months Later,

After the necessary documents that Henry completed, he set up an appointment with the said organization. It was hard for him to contact them and they ignored him many times because they knew that he was dead but then he showed up and they were surprised. He didn't want to go back there after he saved Karmina and took her away; he never got a connection from them.

"Karmina," Henry called while he watched her put light make-up on and comb her silky hair.

"I won't think twice, Henry." She said it was a little cold.

"We've been escaping them for years in our life, Karmina."

"They also lend us money," Karmina told him.

"Yes, the money was your inheritance." He takes a few steps to get closer to her. "Mina, if you come back there…"

"I don't care now." She shook her head. "I become a burden to my lovely daughter. She should be my burden, not the other way around."

"Alright," he gave up. "Let's go there."

She took her purse that had the documents needed and put it on the necklace. The heirloom of their family. They left the house as two sedans were already waiting outside. They bowed down at her until they entered the backseat. Then, the car pulled out from the residence where they are staying and he reached her hand. She noticed that his hands were cold but then, she held both of them to warm them.

"Hey, I'll be alright."

"Yes, my Queen." He said softly and hugged her.

It was a long drive. More like two hours drive until they reached the private real estate that has acres and acres of land surrounding the mansion. There were also lots of securities lined up and some outside were holding big guns. The car drove around the gigantic waterfalls and doves were also flying around. The door was opened and Henry came out from the other door while she used the other door. Outside, an old man with a crane was waiting. With dozens of butlers and maids.

She walked up the five marble staircase and bowed her head. The old man also bowed his head and shakily reached his hand to her.

"Our Princess." The old man said. "You came back."

"Secretary Carter." She acknowledged.

"Please, let's go inside." The old man said excitedly.

They entered through the gigantic doors as the historical expensive paintings are around that also include that old painting of her family. From generation to generation. She suddenly felt lonely after she remembered the tragedy of her family. She doesn't want to come back and let the same tragedy happen to her daughter and son. But it seemed like another tragedy came that she needed to deal with. She needs to use the power that she could take since it will be risky for both Dragon Empire and EPUA to take another problem. She knew that there is currently bad news about both Empires.

"It's still here?" She asked and looked at the family painting of her when she was fifteen with her mother, father, brother, and little sister. She was the only one left.

"Yes, I don't have the right to take down anything from here, your highness."

"Don't be funny." She giggled at him. "I'm not a Princess anymore."

"Yes, you are the Queen now." The old man smiled.

She was used to calling them, princesses. She was once from a Royal Family. Their country was just across and nearby but then, after multiple backstabs, they moved in here, had a big army with them until her father made a deal with Charles and got stabbed by him. She would never forget it as she was forced to live with them. She missed her siblings but then, she heard them that they were killed and Secretary Carter was wounded, from protecting them.

"My Lord," Secretary Carter bowed at Henry. "I'm sorry to ignore you but I still hate you for taking her away."

"I apologize, sincerely," Henry said softly and bowed his head.

The Secretary nodded.

"Are you staying, my Queen? Your bedroom was ready and so was your study room."

"Carter, I just need men." She said,

"But," The old man's face looked melancholy. "But, my lady. You need to take over now! Or else, this empire will completely fall! I did everything to put it back, please!" The man begged as he dropped his crane ready to kneel."

"Carter, stop." She scolded.

"I will kneel all day." He said as he fell on the floor. Henry quickly helped him and the old man pushed Henry.

"Alright! You don't have to do that." Karmina exhaled softly. "Alright," She said softly. "Please, don't do that again. You are the only family I have now."

Henry pulled up Carter and the Butler held him so he wouldn't fall.

"Then, take all of the documents. Take your inheritance that also includes this house and everyone in here. So, please. Stay."

"I have my children waiting for me. I loved to cook for them although they are adults and have their spouses." She said, "Give me more time."

"Then, your children are also the heir and heiress of this family."

She nodded her head.

"I would like to see the documents. And also, everything that was stolen by the Charles Empire. I don't care if I use an underground business. But I can't wait to get back to them after what they did to my daughter and son."

"Yes, my lady."

Henry reached his wife's hand as they walked and followed old Carter. They went to the library and the documents were already filed up. She sat down on the fancy chair and read the documents while her husband stood by her side. She looked at each of them and then the army that they have. They also have underground businesses just like the Charles Empire but it was hidden.

"How much do we need to kill all of them? My adoptive daughter might have also slaughtered them but then, I don't want her to get killed or fall as their lab rat. Give protection to my daughter, Johanna."

"We will do that."

"Although she could kill twenty men, she still needs to be protected."

"Of course," Carter signed the steward who nodded his head and scribbled it on the tablet. "What else?"

"That also includes Harvey and his wife and the whole Squad. Also, my dear daughter and her husband."

"Miss Keira, right?" Carter asked again.

"Yes," She nodded her head as she looked down at the investigation that Carter made. There is also other evidence enough to sue the Charles Empire as a murderer. That also includes that old man who was probably shaking and hid his crazy granddaughter away.

"You must stay here at least four days a week, my lady. However, we also have someone that is now operating the company. We made a new face years ago."

"You know my daughter, she's operating the Golden Age." She said proudly. "She's a genius when it comes to business. Her father taught her well."

"Then, she's the only heiress?"

"Yes," She agreed. "My son doesn't have an interest in business and my adoptive daughter can take over the Golden Age if she likes. Old man, sit down. Don't standstill. I still need you around."

The old man smiled as he sat down on the chair facing Karmina.

"Now, let's start with the treasures. There are certain treasures that Charles doesn't know, right?"

"Yes, he only took paper money, few important documents, and few real estates. That also includes the mansion that they are staying in currently. But you will have it, soon enough."

"Perfect." She smiled in a very evil way. "Let's start with their reputation. Shall we?"

"Certainly, my queen."

Karmina walked around the gigantic mansion with her husband. Their bedroom was separate from each other but then Henry wouldn't want to be separated from her. The couple has a nice dinner with Carter and then, they have a very great accommodation too. The bed was comfortable together with the appliances that they needed.

Currently, Karmina was choosing her dress while she's speaking to Keira from the other line.

"I didn't know that the two of you are having another honeymoon," Keira said and acted like a child.

"It's just for a few days, my darling. Ales was also a good cook and so are the maids."

"But I miss you already." Keira weaned like a baby.

Karmina giggled as she still admired her like that. Besides being a daddy's girl, she's also a mama's girl. Her beloved daughter was so adorable right now as she imagined her.

"By the way, where is that located?" Keira asked.

"It's an old family house, my dear. I will take you here some other time."

"Okay, sure. Is dad with you?"

"He's with me." She looked at Henry who was currently validating a few documents.

"As long as both of you are safe, I am competent now."

"That's good. You don't have to worry about me or your dad. We are fine. You should pay more attention to your husband, instead."

"He's fine too. Showing off his muscled arms. Ugh."

Karmina giggled.

"That means that you also have to work out, right love?"

"I will. Okay? I'm not that fat."

Karmina giggled again.

"Darling, you still have to fit your gown for next year."

"Alright, mom. I will."

"I love you," Karmina said softly while grinning.

"I love you too and dad!"

That melted her heart.
