The heir and his heiress episode 17

THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS

(From a nobody to a Billionaire)

⚡Chapter 17⚡

Mitchell’s POV

I 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 smile

This 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 and left hurriedly

Was that a blush I just saw on his face? Oh my goodness! I didn’t know he was a shy guy, is he falling for me already?

“Stop daydreaming Mitchell, that will never happen” my subconscious snapped

I took a spoonful into my mouth and I mo-ned at how delicious it tasted. Wtf! How can a guy be so perfect at everything he does?

I hurriedly finished the food and cleared the plates. I have to bath quickly and go to the modelling agency. I’ve decided to make it full time instead of part time since I no longer work in the family company.

When I heard the sound of the door open, I picked up my towel and turned around ready to go into the bathroom but I didn’t expect to see what I saw.

Chris was w-t and water ran down his body. He was looking so hot that I thought I was going to faint. I became completely mesmerized that I didn’t know when he was standing before me.

“Mitchell?” he called out snapping me out of my reverie

“Huh?” I answered still staring at him dumbly

He waved his hands before me and that’s when I was able to return to my senses.

“Sorry!” I mumbled and ran into the bathroom

I placed my hand on my fast beating chest and tried calming it down but it seemed impossible. Why was I staring at him and why is my heart beating abnormally?

I calmed myself a little after taking in deep breaths before deciding to bath. When I was done, I opened the second door in the bathroom that leads to my closet.

I can’t go into the room because of my extremely short towel so I just decided to make use of my other closet. I prepared it in case of situations like this.

I was done wearing my clothes in such a short while so I left the closet and went back to me room. Chris was surprised to see me fully dressed by the time I returned.

“You have another closet apart from this?” he asked not hiding his surprise

“Yes, I do” I answered smiling lightly

“Wow! But you’re not a model, how come you have so many clothes?”

“Not only models can have plenty clothes. I have my money so I can definitely buy as many clothes as I want. I need to leave now because it’s getting late, I can’t be late on my first full time day” I said picking up my bag

“Good luck! I will also be leaving soon” he said and focused back on his laptop

I went downstairs and greeted my grandparents but just as I had almost gotten to the door, a maid came in and informed my grandparents that Kathryn Eduardo was here.

Kathryn is here? What does she wants so early in the morning? I wonder if she has any courtesy at all.

“Let her in!” Grandma said with a smile

Yeah, she would let her in! After all, Kathryn’s family is the number one richest in America and Grandma only loves wealthy people.

The sound of heels matching the floor elegantly could be heard and it became closer and closer until Kathryn was standing in the sitting room.

She smirked at me and walked past me to greet my grandparents. I already know she’s rude so I’m not surprised.

“How have you been my child?” Grandma asked patting her cheeks while I rolled my eyes

“I’ve been good ma. Sorry I couldn’t attend the wedding yesterday, I was extremely busy” she said apologetically

“There’s no problem about that! I understand that you’re extremely busy with your career, not like some people who got married so early without thinking about their future” Grandma said and I could tell she was referring to me

Now she’s blaming me for getting married? Didn’t she wanted to marry me off to Kevin? Well, it isn’t her fault!

“I’m leaving now, bye” I said and turned around to leave but the next thing I heard made me stop dead in my tracks

“I haven’t seen the groom yet, is he in?” I heard Kathryn ask and I slowly turned around

“You haven’t seen the groom? And what’s your business with my husband? Ohh! You want to snatch my husband now that you’ve seen how handsome he is?

Just a quick piece of advice! My husband isn’t like those random guys out there that sleep with just anyone. He is a highly decent man and you can never even get the chance to be close to him for even a minute.

The faster you get that right into your skull, the better it will be for you” I concluded and left angrily

I felt so angry that I felt like I would explode in flames soon. Why does that demon have to be here today? She couldn’t choose any other day except today. Now she has succeeded in ruining my day completely.

Chris POV

As soon as I finished with what I was doing, I picked my bag and went downstairs but I didn’t expect what I met with.

I saw that girl whose nude pics was displayed on the net and I heard her say “I haven’t seen the groom yet” but I didn’t understand what she was saying until Mitchell spoke up.

I was surprised at everything she said and for a moment, I almost thought it was real but then I realized it’s part of the act. She didn’t notice me standing on the stairs so she just turned around and left.

I slowly descended the stairs and greeted Mitchell’s grandparents. They answered me reluctantly while Kathryn on the other hand was lost staring at me.

She can keep staring for all I care, I’ve gotten used to that already. Besides, I remember she was the one that spoke harshly to me when I wasn’t concentrating. I already disliked her since then so I don’t think we can ever be friends.

“Good morning” she finally said after coming back to her senses

“Morning” I said simply and walked out of the room

Just as I was about entering my car, I heard someone call my name and I didn’t need anyone to tell me it was her.

“Yes?” I answered facing her

“I know you’re mad at me because of how I spoke to you the other day but I want you to know I’m really sorry. I was in a bad mood then and I had a lot on my mind. Please forgive me” she said acting pitiful

“Alright” I said and wanted to get into my car but she stopped me again

“Can we be friends?” she asked with a smile

“No, we can’t be friends. I don’t need a friend because my wife is more than enough to be a friend, a partner and many more things” I said and got into my car driving off

She wants us to be friends after insulting me so much? That can only happen in her wildest dreams! I’ve come across people like her countless times so it’s not new to me anymore.

I need to look for a job that’s going to serve as a good source of income for me. Now that we’ve lied to Mitchell’s grandparents about me building a company, I need to do something about it.

My phone fell in the car and I bent down to pick it up. I wanted to drop the phone but then, I saw something that caught my attention.

An article said “Chris Rodriguez is like a fallen angel, could he be one of the Rodriguez that has come back to continue his family’s name?”

I clicked on it immediately and I saw pictures of some members of the Rodriguez. What caught my attention was the necklace two of them wore.

It was exactly the same as mine. I doubted if it was the one so I parked my car and brought out the necklace to confirm it.

It was exactly the same with theirs, there was no single difference at all and it made me confused. How can I have the exact same necklace as theirs?

This honestly makes no sense to me. I can’t possibly be a member of the Rodriguez family, it’s totally impossible.

I need to find any member of the family that is still alive or a close friend that knows s lot about them. I badly want to know who my family is and why they abandoned a five year old boy.

Could it be because I lost my memory? That doesn’t make any sense either. I picked up my phone and called Mr Williams.

“Hello sir” I said into the phone and resumed driving

“How are you doing son?” he asked enthusiastically

“I’m doing good sir. I hope you’re not busy at the moment? I wouldn’t want to disturb you” I said

“Not at all! Even if I was busy, my son is definitely more important than any other work” he said and I felt loved

“I’m glad to hear that sir. I just want to tell you what I was able to find out about the necklace sir and what I will be doing next. I will also be needing your help” I said and paused

“Go on, I’m listening” he urged

“After my wedding with Mitchell, different articles have been posted but I saw one that caught my attention just now. Someone said I was just as handsome as the Rodriguez when they were still alive.

He dropped some pictures of the Rodriguez family and I noticed two people wore the exact necklace I’m wearing so I’m kind of confused.

I want to find out if there is any member of the Rodriguez family that is still alive or a friend at least. Do you know one?” I asked him

“I’m speechless. I know the Eduardos were friends with them but I don’t think they’re still friends anymore. Something happened which none of us is sure of. I will ask my detective to find anyone for you and I’ll give you the feedback”

“Thank you so much sir, I really appreciate it”

“It’s nothing! Just make sure you don’t get worked up. You have a new family now so even if we search for a long time and don’t find anything, you don’t need to think about it okay?” he said

“Alright sir. I’m grateful”

“Take care” he said and finally ended the call

Mr Williams is helping me find a friend already so I believe we will find something important soon. My mind drifted to the Eduardos and I remembered Kathryn.

She was acting all clingy this morning so I’m sure she will be able to tell me some things if I ask her but I don’t think I can do that.

If someone else used my feelings against me, I don’t know how I will feel. I guess I will just have to wait for Mr Williams to make his findings.
