⚡Chapter 38⚡Chris POVI sat on the bed in the hotel room I booked. I want to think about everything that happened between Anna and I that day.I turned her request down at first but then, I changed my mind later on. Now that I'm thinking carefully, I saved a draft that I wanted to send to Mitchell that day, I can show her that.That aside! Anna was the one that suggested we should take wine. As a waiter and poor girl, she wouldn't have suggested wine but she did and that alone is suspicious.Also, when she brought the wine, it was opened already but I had shrug the thought of then. Why would she open the wine before bringing it?Now that I think about it, there were so many suspicious things that I didn't pay attention to. What if everything was planned all along? I need to see the detective.I picked my phone and car key and drove straight to meet the agency."Good day sir. What brings you here without a notice?" he asked after seeing me"I came to ask for a favour. There was this g
⚡Chapter 39⚡Chris POVI wore my nightwear and picked up my phone as I sat on the bed. I missed a call?I checked the caller and discovered it was Mitchell. Three missed calls from her? Did she wanted to tell me something? I should just call her back right?I was about dialing her contact when I noticed someone jump into the balcony. Who would jump into the balcony of an hotel this late at night?I stood up and started walking towards the window out of curiosity but when I had almost gotten there, I heard a knock on the door."Who's there?" I asked walking back to the doorThere was no response. A dead silence followed instead and for some reasons, I had a bad feeling about it. I guess I shouldn't open the door then, maybe unless the person speaks up.I sat on the bed but the knock came in again. Who is this person that won't let me have a good sleep?"Who is there?" I asked again walking towards the door but there was still no responseI don't feel like opening it but if I don't open
⚡Chapter 40⚡Chris POVMitchell got discharged from the hospital this evening as a result of her stubborn attitude. The doctor said she still needed rest but she wouldn't hear of it. She said she wants to see the bastard that dared try to harm me.I even tried talking her out of it but my efforts were futile so here we are, on our way home."Being in the hospital for just one day makes me sick already. You should have just taken me home and ask a doctor to come over" she whined"We are on our way home already right? Once we leave the warehouse, we will head straight home so stop complaining and get enough rest while you can. I have no idea what you will do when we get to the warehouse" I said with an eyeroll"What do you think I will do?" she asked grinning from ear to ear"Don't do anything Mitchell, please. You are just recovering and I'm still feeling guilty for that. If something else happens to you again, I won't be able to forgive myself" I said"Don't worry about a thing and ju
⚡Chapter 41⚡Kevin's POVI smashed my phone against the wall in rage after Ronald ended the call abruptly. How dare he say those things to me?He's going to kidnap Mitchell and force himself on her? Is he threatening me or what? Wow Ronald! You have just started digging your own grave with your own two hands.Since he wants it the hard way, I will definitely give it to him. I will stay around Mitchell from now on so I can know when he wants to make his move and I will make sure I sabotage his plan.I will show him who the true boss is and I will let him know that he will always be behind me no matter how hard he tries.*Next morning*I wasn't able to call Mitchell last night because it was too late but I have to call her early this morning. She was shot and I don't know how she's doing. After the call went through, she picked on the third ring."Good morning Kevin" she said in a sleepy voice"Morning Mitchell! Did I wake you up?" I asked slowly"I think so. But it's fine, I'm supposed
⚡Chapter 42⚡Melissa's POV"Anna" Chris called after staring at me for a whileI stood still, staring at him but soon came to my senses. If I stand here like this and keep quiet, he will definitely know I'm Anna. I continued walking down the stairs and went to meet Kathryn who was seated on the couch."Who is he?" I asked "He's like a friend" Kathryn saidIt looks like they were having a heated conversation before I came here. Why did I even come downstairs now? I should have waited a bit longer."Anna!" Chris called again"Who is he referring to as Anna?" I asked Kathryn"I don't know. You should be asking him, not me" she shrugged"You don't need to pretend because I know it's you. You hid your face with a facial mask, but you didn't change your walking step and your figure" he saidHow did he know I wore a facial mask? And did he take note of my walking step and figure? It's going to be hard to get myself out of this mess."Cat got your tongue?" he asked with a smirk"I only kept
⚡Chapter 43⚡Chris POVI turned around as soon as I heard a male voice and surprisingly, it was Mr. Eduardo. This is really getting more interesting than I expected.Kathryn called me to come here but she actually set me up with her dad. I always knew there was something fishy about her and I'm glad I found out before it's too late."The last heir?" I asked feigning ignorance"Ohh! I've forgotten that you won't be able to remember anything. After all, your memory was completely wiped out" he said with a smirk"I still don't understand what you're saying" I lied again"Well, I think I will have to explain so many things today since this is going to be your last day on earth. I will tell you everything you need to know but first, open this safe for me" he said and two guys brought out a safeI stared at the safe confusedly as they put it down before me. What is this? Does it also belong to my family?"You need to put your blood inside that small space so that the safe will open. I know
⚡Chapter 44⚡Chris POVI woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and energetic. Although I'm yet to recover my childhood memories, I've discovered who my family is.With the document in that safe, I can get all my parents properties back and that's exactly what I'm going to be doing today.I will claim what rightfully belongs to me but I'll have to lie low for a while before revealing my identity to the world. I have to deal with my enemies first and also help Mitchell complete her tasks.After taking my bath, I wore my clothes and picked up my phone. Mitchell was strangely staring at me and I gave her a questioning look."Why did you wear new clothes today?" she asked"New clothes will definitely be worn for the first time right? I just decided to wear it today, no specific reason" I shrugged"Should I really believe you?" she asked biting her finger softly"If you don't believe me, who else will believe me then?" I asked"Just make sure you return home early today. Staying at hom
⚡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
⚡ 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!
