⚡Chapter 12⚡Mitchell's POVI paced around my room anxiously as I awaited the horn of a car. It's time for dinner already but Dad isn't here yet, I really don't know what to do.I heard a knock on the door and my heartbeat increased rapidly."Who is there?" I asked nervously"It's me Young Miss. My Queen sends for you" the maid said"Alright, I'll be there in a jiffy" I said and took in a deep breathGrandmother is the one she referred to as "My Queen". She specifically told the maids to call her that.I waited for about five minutes before opening the door and went downstairs. Everyone were seated around the table already and grandma stared ate scornfully."Why didn't you come downstairs for dinner until I sent a maid to get you?" she asked"She's awaiting the arrival of her imaginary fiancee" John, her cousin mocked while the rest bursted into laughter"Do you really have a fiancee?" Grandma asked sternly"Of course! Dad went to bring him over!" I said frustratedly"I don't think so
⚡Chapter 13⚡Mitchell's POVI stared at Chris with so much awe until I finally got to where he was seated. He looked so hot yesterday but she looks hotter today, I don't even know which word to describe how he looks. He looks.......different."Hey handsome" I said coming out of my reverie"H...hi" he stuttered and took his gaze to his phone on the floor which now had a broken screen. Wow! Do I have that much effect on people that they will even go to the extent of breaking their phone screen because of me? I think I need to stop looking so hot, but how?"I'm so sorry about that" I said to found to his phone as I took a sit"Oh! it's nothing, don't worry about it" he said with a nervous smile"Ok I'm a bit hungry so place an order first" I said and signalled to a waiterAfter choosing the food I wanted from the menu, she wants to get it and I soon started eating."Tell me more about yourself" I said in between a mouthful"Myself? There is nothing to say about my boring life. How about
⚡Chapter 14⚡Kathryn's POVI felt myself falling but instead of falling to the ground, I fell into someone's arms. I need no one to tell me it belong to a guy because they felt huge and comfortable."What the hell do you think you are doing?" he asked after dropping me safely to the ground and that was when I just opened my eyesHe looks handsome and rich. He has a beautiful body but he isn't as handsome as Kevin though. If there's anyone more handsome than Kevin in this world, then I'll make sure he's mine at all cost."Are you deaf! Wait! You are Kathryn Eduardo?" he asked surprised"Uhhm!" I stuttered rubbing my neck nervously"Why do you want to commit suicide? You are a rich celebrity and you have everything at your beck and call so what reason do you have to commit suicide?" he asked raising his voice a little"I owe no one an explanation. If anyone else was in my place, he would have definitely done the same" I said and began walking away but he stopped me with his words"You t
⚡Chapter 15⚡I slowly alighted from the car like the great model I was and the air hit my face as soon as I was out.I changed my style completely this time and I must say this hair color fits me perfectly. I didn't just dye my hair and styled it, I also changed my mode of dressing and tried a new set of make up on.When I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, I looked completely different and I was sure that people will almost not recognize me when they see me.I looked at my right hand and I saw Crystal and Mitchell standing side by side as they stared at my new transformation in awe.Their lips were slightly parted and I couldn't help the smirk that curved up my lips. So this is what it feels like to become extremely beautiful?I walked up to them with a mocking smile on my face and I stopped when I was few feets away from them."Why are both of you staring at me like that? You didn't want me to return here anymore right?" I asked smirking"What are you talking about? Why w
⚡Chapter 16⚡Kevin's POVToday is Mitchell's wedding and I'm stuck in here. How did my life become so messed up? Ever since I met Kathryn and Mitchell, it has been from one problem to another.Kathryn has already paid for what she has done and I'm now left with Mitchell. As soon as I deal with her, I will forget about everything and continue with the way I lived before I met them.I need to go to Mitchell's wedding, but how? I already threatened her so if I don't go there, it will seem like I was just bluffing all along.My men told me the wedding is going to start by 10am and this is past ten already. I don't know why this reporters are here when they are supposed to be at Mitchell's wedding.Don't they know she's the youngest granddaughter of the third richest family in America? I tried asking my men about the man Mitchell will be getting married to and they told me he's just an average guy.They said he's extremely handsome but they dare not say he's more handsome than I am. I will
⚡Chapter 17⚡Mitchell's POVI woke up to a very pleasant scent and I couldn't help but sniff in the air. How come I'm hearing such delicious aroma so early in the morning?I rubbed my eyelids and snapped my eyes open but I was more shocked to see Chris walking towards me with a tray of food in his hands.He was still in his nightwear but he opened the buttons so I could clearly see his abs. I gulped down nothing as he approached me."Good morning wifey! Breakfast in bed!" he said with a gentle smileThis guy is just so gentle and handsome! How come I never came across him until now?"You came across him but you felt he was way too low for your standards" my subconscious mocked"Why are you just staring quietly? Did I do something wrong?" he asked confusedly"N...no, I'm sorry. I zoned out for a few minutes. You really don't have to do this for me, I don't deserve it" I mumbled the last part to myself"You deserve more than this and you know that. Just eat, I'll take a shower" he said
⚡Chapter 18⚡Kathryn's POVWhat the hell? Did I just get insulted by two dumbass in a day? Oh Kathryn! How I've gotten softer within these past years.I'm the number one model on the list coupled with the fact that my family is the richest in America and I just let those piece of trash walk over me like that?I'm going to teach them a lesson, especially Mitchell. Chris action is justified because I said hurtful words to him the first time we met but Mitchell? What excuse could she possibly have?I huffed angrily and got into my car driving straight to the agency. I'm sure that's where Mitchell was headed because she's now registered as a full time trainee.Now that she's a full time trainee, I don't think she will be spending six months for training anymore. I wonder what the manager saw in her that made him choose her to be a model.He is extremely partial when it comes to Mitchell and he might even reduce her training months to two. Who knows if that witch exchanged her body for thi
⚡Chapter 19⚡Mitchell's POVI sighed tiredly after returning to Crystal for my training. I really don't know why Kathryn is acting this way, I can't believe she was once my role model."What happened?" Crystal asked sitting beside me"We were scolded by the manager so we apologized and left his office" I said briefly"I'm sorry about that! Kathryn has always been like that, I don't know if she will ever change" Crystal said staring into space"Let's just continue with training" I said changing the subject"Let's do that!" she said with a smile and resumed teaching*Evening*I returned home a little tired as a result of the heels I wore and the poses I had to do. Being a model is not an easy job at all! In short, no job is easy in this world."Good evening!" I mumbled a greeting and walked past my grandparents as I headed upstairs"Some people just keep getting more rude by the day. I was thinking it will change after marriage but it looks like I was wrong" Grandma said scornfullyI kn
⚡ 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
