⚡Chapter 22⚡Kathryn's POVMelissa's one week for rest is over now and our plan can finally begin. I can't wait to accomplish my plan and put Mitchell in her place, she's just so full of herself."So... What did you say Chris's schedule is like?" Melissa asked for the umpteenth time making me sigh frustratedly"Why aren't you focusing on this mission? I told you it's really important to me, stop being like this" I said tiredly"I'm sorry girlfriend, it just doesn't sit well with me acting like a poor girl but I'll do anything for you so don't worry. Chris goes to the restaurant by 1 pm right?" she asked now focusing her attention on the plan"Yes! This means you have to start your act at least ten minutes before he arrives and you also have to bear in mind. You can't only act when you're around him, you should also put on an act around everyone in that restaurant so nothing will go wrong" I said"Yeah, I will do all you've said. But what about my face? I can't possibly go there with t
⚡Chapter 23⚡Melissa's POVIt's just my first day working in this restaurant but I must say it's so stressful. Is this what I'll have to put up with until I accomplish the mission given to me by Kathryn?Looks like I will have to speed things up if I don't want to continue living like this. "Get over here Anna" the manager screamed while I scoffedHe's ordering me around just because my face is disguised. If I cane here as Melissa Eric, I'm sure none of them will have the guts to even look me in the face."Yes sir?" I answered reluctantly"This is just your first day working here and you're already acting this way? I'm going to fire you very soon. Attend to that young man over there" he pointed to a direction and leftI forcefully turned around with a frustrated look on my face but when I saw who it was, I widened my eyes in shock.Chris is here already? No wonder why the girls won't stop squealing and murmuring. Well, to bad I will be the one to attend to him from now on."Good afte
⚡Chapter 24⚡Mitchell's POVI 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 smileDad coughed loud enough for us to hear and we quickly snapped out of our reverie."Uhhmm! Dad
⚡Chapter 25⚡Mitchell's POVWhen we arrived at the hospital, the man was quickly attended to while I paced around in the reception waiting for the doctor to come out of the ward.Few minutes later, he came out and I hurried to meet him."How is he doing doctor?" I asked anxiously"You don't have to worry ma'am! It was just a minor injury and he's perfectly fine now" the doctor said and I heaved a sigh of relief"Thank you doctor" I said gentlyMy phone rang in my pocket, I took it out to check the caller and found out it was Chris."Hey beautiful! How are you doing?" he asked"I'm fine handsome" I answered giggling"You don't sound like you are in the agency" he said"Yeah, it's lunch time. Unfortunately, I got into an accident on the way here and I had to bring someone to the hospital" I said sighing"What?!! An accident? Where? Which hospital are you right now? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked all at once"Calm down okay? I'm fine, nothing happened to me. The guy my ca
⚡Chapter 26⚡Kathryn's POV"How is it going? Do you think you can get him to fall for you?" I asked Melissa over the phone"Who am I? I'm Melissa Eric and once I set my heart to something, I don't stop until I get it done. I might not be a model but guys tend to fall at my feet everytime and Chris isn't any different.He's beginning to fall for my tears and I will have him wrapped around my fingers soon. Don't worry about a single thing and just prepare yourself" she said"That's nice! I trust you though, I only called to know how things are going. Thanks girlfriend" I giggled and ended the callChris Rodriguez! You are so going to pay for speaking rudely to me. Besides, I want you to be mine since you're so handsome and this is just the best thing. I get back at you and at the same time, get what I want. It's called killing two birds with one stone.My phone suddenly rang and I was about answering it thinking it was Melissa but I saw Dad instead. Why is he calling me now? They don't
⚡Chapter 27⚡Thompson Eduardo's POVI smirked in satisfaction after confirming from the sniper that he had done the job.I don't know if Chris is related to the Rodriguez or not but if he is, I will have to get rid of him. 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! We found a necklace around Chris' neck and it's the same as the one passed down from the Rodriguez.It's just that the necklace suddenly became two when another member of th
⚡Chapter 28⚡Melissa's POVI hurriedly took out my phone as soon as I got to the back of the restaurant and dialed Kathryn's contact."Guess what?!" I said happily"How can I guess when I don't know what happened?" she asked tiredly"You're such a bore! Well, I pecked Chris today and he didn't say anything about it. He's beginning to fall for me because of the sad story I told him about myself so it's only a matter of time before I have him wrapped around my fingers" she screamed in excitement"Really? Are you serious right now?" she exclaimed"Of course! I rushed to call you immediately" I said"Wow! This is huge! Thank you so much Melissa, I promise to reward you after this mission" she said excitedly"I got to go now, I'll catch up with you later" I said and ended the callI returned to the restaurant and pretended like nothing happened but deep down I was so happy. I'm not going to take things too slow anymore, I will speed things up so I can get out of this goddamn restaurant soo
⚡Chapter 29⚡Chris POV*Saturday morning*It's finally Saturday, the day I will be going out with Anna. I will go to the company first but I won't spend much time there."Why are you looking different this morning? 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
⚡ Epilogue⚡Kathryn's POVAfter ignoring Kevin for days, Melissa finally told me to forgive him. 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
⚡Chapter 52⚡Mitchell's POVMy heart thumped faster as John came out with his ledger. I'm so nervous right now and the only thing that is making me calm at least, is Chris hand that is holding mine."I'm going to be reading the profit out for everyone to hear so it won't be like I cheated you guys or something" Grandma said"I'm only going to call the profit you made in this month so John, open to the last page" she addedJohn took the ledger from her and started opening it with a smile on his face. I wonder how these kind of people turned out to be my family.How could Hazel and John stoop so low? They will go to any length at all just to make me look useless. I know that there's a slim chance for me to win this task but I really do hope I win so I can put them in their place.I just have to listen to grandma call out the amount for John and I'll be able to know my fate already because John and Hazel will be having almost the same profit."Wow! This is incredible! You made this much
⚡Chapter 51⚡Mitchell's POV*One month later*It's been one month since the incident between Kevin and I. 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. I heard his sister means the world to him.Kathryn will never be able to forgive him and that's enough punishment for both of them for what they did to Chris and I. It's a good thing I asked Chris to let Kevin be.I've completed the two companies that I'm to build and I'm beginning to make lots of profit already. That investor is definitely an angel in disguise.I don't understand why someone will be willing t
⚡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
⚡Chapter 49⚡Kathryn's POVI carried out a DNA test on myself and dad to confirm if I'm really not his daughter and the test results showed negative.The detective has started the investigation already but I've not been myself ever since I saw the result. I can't believe that dad would treat me this way.He didn't even tell me that I wasn't his daughter, I had to hear it from Chris who is an outsider. I knew he didn't really love me but I thought I was overthinking things. 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. Chris wasn't even in the hospital but Kevin was there. So many weird things has been happening lately and I really need a break badly.The problem is that I
⚡Chapter 48⚡Mitchell's POVThe beeping sounds I was hearing made me flutter my eyelids open and I discovered I was in a hospital. The sun that shone brightly told me it was morning but why am I in a hospital?I tried to remember what happened but it wasn't so clear. 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?" I asked looking around"You also don't remember what happened to Chris?" he mumbled"What happened to him? Dad, please tell me that he's fine" I panicked"Don't worry! I've sent my men so he should be here very soon. All you need to do is exercise patience" he assured wit
⚡Chapter 47⚡Chris POVMitchell was able to leave the mansion safely after I took the gunshot. We were still surrounded by the men and I was loosing a lot of blood from the wound."Mitchell escaped already so you won't gain anything from keeping us here. Just let's leave so we can treat our boss" one of my guards said"Mitchell left so what? You guys are still here and you will pay for that. Until our boss comes downstairs.... wait! Why hasn't he come down since? What did you do to him?" the guy I will refer to as their leader asked me with blazing eyes"Check upstairs and see if he's alright" he ordered one of the men"I swear if there's even a little scratch on his body, you will pay for it in ten fold" he threatened while I scoffedA scratch? I will be stupid to let him have just a scratch. He almost raped my wife and I will just let him go with a scratch?Even though I beat him to a pulp, I'm still not satisfied. I feel like chopping off his balls so he will never be able to use t
⚡Chapter 46⚡Mitchell's POVI opened my eyes weakly and everything that had just happened replayed in my head. I couldn't help the tears that rolled down my cheeks as I thought about how I would have been raped if Kevin hadn't saved me.I never would have imagined Ronald to be that kind of guy. 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?" I heard Kevin's voice and that was when I realized I was not in my houseWhere is this place and what am I doing here? Since Kevin brought me here, I can trust him right?"Yes, I'm awake
⚡Chapter 45⚡Chris POVAs soon as Mitchell arrived home in the evening, she squealed happily and hugged me tightly. She was obviously overwhelmed with joy and I think I know why."Chris! I'm the happiest person on earth right now. I don't know how to explain it but I feel like I'm going to explode with happiness. I need to take a shower to calm down" she said anxiously and went to the bathroom.She returned a few minutes later but was still very anxious. She kept closing her eyes and opening them again as she pinched herself to be sure she wasn't dreaming."What happened?" I askedI can't act like I know anything, else she will begin to suspect me."Well, someone called me today and told me he was the new CEO of a company. He offered to help me with the building of my company and even said he was going to invest in it as soon as it's done" she explained"Really? Wow! That's awesome! Do you know him from somewhere?" I asked"No, that's confusing though. Could he really have just contac
