My Bossy CEO Husband by Symon Diller

Chapter 1899

Chapter 1899 In Wragos, after a hectic day, Karina returned to Haleigh's pad at Beauty Apartments.

With Barlow out of the picture, Karina took the reins in looking out for Haleigh.

Even though Haleigh insisted she could handle things solo, she treated Karina like kin.

So, she handed Karina her apartment key and Karina often crashed there to watch over Haleigh.

As Karina swung open the door, ready to say hi to Haleigh, her eyes snagged on a pair of men's black gloves on the shoe rack.

She froze, alarm bells ringing.

She stayed as quiet as a mouse.

Ever since that thief fiasco at Rosalynn's, Karina had been on high alert.

Was there a thief lurking? 's BunnyBookery She'd upgraded the lock to a smart one.

Any intruder would set off her phone alarm.

But there'd been no alarms today.

So, what about those gloves? With Haleigh alone at home, Karina couldn't brush it off.

Trading her shoes for slippers, Karina searched for a weapon, settling on a high heel.

The place was eerily quiet.

Dark thoughts crept in.

Her biggest fear was that Haleigh was hurt.

She had vowed to protect her, for Barlow's sake.

The bedrooms were also clear.

Karina's heart raced, clutching her high heels tight.

Was the thief in the bathroom? Tense, she crept toward the bathroom door, silent as a ghost.

It'd be a relief if she was just overthinking it.

What if it was just Haleigh? Karina braced herself, waiting outside the closed door.

Then, the door creaked open.

Someone emerged.

Karina pressed against the wall, holding her breath.

The person who cout was not Haleigh, but a man! Karina's eyes widened.

She swung her high heels, aiming for his head.

She yelled, "I'll beat you to death, you thief!"

Quick on his feet, the man dodged her swing and grabbed her wrist.

топ Gritting her teeth, Karina struck with her free hand, landing a solid kick on his leg. He stumbled back, wincing, then crashed to the floor.

Still gripping Karina's wrist, he yanked her down with him. The content is on novelenglish.net!
