Mitchell's POV

I opened my eyes slowly looking around. I'm in a hospital yet again, why won't they just let me be? I feel kind of empty probably because Chris isn't here as usual.

"Mitchell, how are you feeling now?" Dad asked after noticing I was awake

"I'm fine now! What happened?" I asked softly

"Well, you passed out after getting drugged by someone" he explained shortly

"I was drugged? But who will want to drug me? I didn't get into a fight with anyone recently" I said getting scared

"Chris will be here soon and we will be able to find out who drugged you and why they did that" he said

"Okay, I will just wait for him then" I said but almost immediately, Chris came in

"Mitchell, how are you doing?" he said sitting beside me

"I'm doing good, sorry I always get you worked up" I apologized slowly

"It's nothing! You're my wife and it's my duty to protect you" he said with a smile

Dad coughed loud enough for us to hear and we quickly snapped out of our reverie.

I can't let anyone get in my way no matter what.I took care of this seventeen years ago and the only reason why I didn't kill the heir to the Rodriguez then is because I might need him in the future.There is a part of their money and treasures that I haven't been able to access and that I won't get to access unless a member of the family is present, at least I was able to get that information from someone close to their family lawyer.I don't know if this Chris is the one I've been waiting for or not. If he's the one, then I will use him to get what I want and finally get rid of him."My Lord!

It seems to me like you're going out on a date instead of work" Mitchell pouted her lips"W...what are you talking about?" I stuttered with a nervous smile"I was only joking! It's good to look nice and different sometimes" she said and helped me adjust my collar"Make sure you return early today okay?" she said"Sure I will!" I assured her with a smileShe kissed me lightly on the lips after which I got into my car and left for work. My phone dinged indicating a message and when I checked, I discovered it was from Anna.Honestly, after what Mitchell jokingly said to me this morning, I've been having doubts about going out with Anna.Firstly, going out with her is not appropriate because I'm a married man and I didn't inform my wife about it.Secondly, I'm not interested in

They will be arriving soon but we also decided to inform you" she concluded"W..what?!! Which hospital is the closest to your station?" I panicked"The city hospital" she answered"Thank you!"

He was looking skinny and unkempt and I reasoned with her that if I didn't forgive him, things might get complicated and I won't be able to handle the outcome.I went outside and opened the gate to see him still seated on the floor. This time, he didn't have the strength to stand up so he just sat there and stared at me helplessly.The way he looked lifeless almost made me cry. Did I really make him this way? I hurriedly called on my staffs to take him in and attend to him which was done in about an hour.He was placed on bed rest for a few hours before I finally went in to meet him. I wonder how I'll be able to face him after what I've done though.I sat slowly on the chair that was by the bed and bowed my head in embarrassment. He must be staring at me right?"I'm....""I'm..." we said at the same time and a dead silence followed. It feels so awkward right now"You go first" I finally su

Chris wanted to take up the issue and report it to the police so Kevin can be punished but I told him to leave it.We just found out about a week ago that Kevin and Kathryn are siblings and that's why Kathryn hasn't been coming to the agency.What's worse is that Kevin once forcefully got intimate with Kathryn and he was also the one that uploaded her nude pictures online back then.He never knew Kathryn would turn out to be his sister and I'm sure he regrets his action now.

    ⚡Chapter 50⚡Chris POVI called Mitchell for the umpteenth time this morning just to be sure she was okay.She told me that a lot of people questioned her at work but besides that, nothing else happened. Fortunately, Kathryn wasn't at the agency or things would have gotten messy.I thought of something that I could do to divert the attention of the public from the fake pictures of Mitchell but nothing came to mind.Should I just reveal my identity? Tha would definitely interest them as so many people are curious to know who I am but I can't take that risk now.Mitchell started this project and gave it her all, I can't just ruin it in one go. If her grandparents find out that she received help from me, she might get disqualified and I know how much it will hurt her.I guess I need to think of something else that will distract the public other than my identity. After a moment of thinking, something finally clicked.Mr Edwardo said Kathryn wasn't his daughter and I have the recording wit

I was hoping that one day, he would treat me right but I was completely wrong.I heard that Mitchell has been in the hospital since last night but I don't know about the full details. Coincidentally, the person that informed me also saw Kevin in the same hospital.Why will Mitchell and Kevin be in the sake hospital at the same time? It looks somehow fishy to me.

I got kidnapped and then, what happened next?Why can't I remember what happened? Why am I alone at the hospital? Chris is supposed to be with me at a time like this."Mitchell, you're awake!" I heard dad's voice and I turned to stare at him"Dad, how did I get here?" I asked"Don't you remember anything?" he asked confusedly"I remember I was kidnapped but the memories after that are not clear. Can you tell me what happened? By the way, where is Chris?"

He knows I'm married and we're not even close to each other, yet he kidnapped me and tried to force himself on me?He must have been planning this for a long time now because there's no way he could have succeeded at once.I have so many guards following me so it will be difficult for anyone to hurt me not to talk of kidnapping me.What if the reason why he approached me the first time was because of this? Some men are truly monsters in this world. It's rare to find a cool headed guy like Chris."You're awake?"
