THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS

(From a nobody to a Billionaire)

⚡Chapter 32⚡

Mitchell’s POV

My phone suddenly started ringing on my way to the agency and I sighed after seeing it was a strange number. I don’t like picking calls from strange numbers but something just told me to answer this particular one and I did.

“Goodday! Am I speaking to Mrs Mitchell Rodriguez?” a woman asked from the other end

“Yes, how may I help you?” I asked calmly

“Mr Chris Rodriguez just lost consciousness in our station and we’ve called the ambulance to come and take him to the hospital. 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!” I said and ended the call

“Turn the car around to the city hospital and drive fast” I said shakily

Within few minutes, we were at the hospital. I didn’t even wait for the driver to park properly before getting out of the car.

“Chris Rodriguez was brought in here just now, which ward is he in?” I asked the receptionist

“Hold on ma and let me check” she said politely

“He’s in ward 63” she said after a few minutes

“Thank you” I said and ran all the way to the ward

When I got there, the doctors were still attending to him so I had to wait outside until they were done.

“Doctor, how is he doing?” I asked

“He’s stable now but he needs to be very careful. He was injected with a deadly drug and if he isn’t careful, there will be complications. He musn’t force himself to remember anything and he should try staying away from anything that will remind him about his past for a while” the doctor adviced

“Thank you sir! Can I see him now?”

“Sure, you can. But he doesn’t need so much noise now, they to be as quiet as possible” he said and I nodded my head

When I got into the ward, Chris opened his eyes and I slowly sat beside him.

“How are you feeling now?” I asked calmly

“I’m okay” he said softly

“What happened and why were you at the station instead of work?”

“The detective called me on my way to work and I had to answer him, I told Dad about it” he explained

“You told Dad but I don’t deserve to know? Anyway, why were you trying to remember the past by all means?” I asked

“I wasn’t trying to remember it by all means. Some blur images suddenly appeared and maybe I tried remembering them before I lost consciousness” he said

“Okay. The doctor said you should stay away from anything that will remind you about your past for now but we don’t even know who and who is connected to your past” I said with a sigh

“You don’t need to worry about that, I’m sure things will work out. And I’m sorry I didn’t inform you, I just didn’t call you because you were mad at me” he said

“Take a good rest until the doctor thinks you’re ready to be discharged. I will be outside” I said and stood up to leave

“Mitchell, if I’ve done something really bad, will you forgive me?” he asked holding my hand

“Something really bad like what?” I asked

“I don’t know, just something very very bad that will hurt your feelings” he said

“Well, I’m not sure. Is that the reason why you’ve been avoiding me lately?” I asked turning to face him properly

“I…I…..I want to sleep” he mumbled and withdrew his hand

“It would be better if you tell me yourself than me finding it out from someone else, keep that in mind” with that said, I finally walked out of the ward

He has been asking questions like this recently and it’s making my curiosity grow w¡der. Can’t he just tell me what’s wrong and let’s sort it out?

I mean, what can he possibly do anyway? I know there’s no way he would cheat on me because he said I’m his first love, unless he lied about that.

If he didn’t cheat on me, what did he do then? Did he steal what belongs to me? Or did he kill someone (gasps)?

Snap out of it Mitchell! There’s no way Chris would ever kill someone no matter how angry he is. He’s good at controlling himself so he won’t do something like that.

I think I need to calm down and think of something else that will distract me from this weird thoughts.

Kevin’s POV

I stared keenly at Mitchell’s picture in my hands and sighed. She won’t even talk to me and Ronald on the other hand is looking for an alternative plan already.

I don’t know why my heart flutters at times when it comes to her. If I even call her, she never answers my call.

I’m going to be with her throughout tomorrow until she forgives me. If she forgives me, I will know that I’m one step closer to getting my plan into action and I will also prove to Ronald that I’ll forever be his boss.

The next day came earlier than usual and I took my bath and prepared to pay Mitchell a visit. Like I said, she has to forgive me today or never.

After making sure I was looking my best, I got into my car and drove to her agency. I parked my car outside the company and decided to wait patiently until it’s time for lunch. She will definitely go for lunch and that will be my chance.

I’m parking my car out here because I want her to know I’m serious. Ronald can’t win this game no matter what. I’m going to make sure I have Mitchell wrapped around my fingers and finally have her in my bed.

After waiting for about four hours, I finally saw her car driving out of the agency. I was beginning to fall asleep already, thank goodness I opened my eyes quickly.

I followed behind her until we arrived at a restaurant and she got down from her car. I expected her to go in but she walked towards my car instead. Bursted!

She must have noticed I was following her. Way to go Kevin! You couldn’t even handle such a simple thing.

I gently opened the door of my car and got down with my best puppy eyes.

“Why are you following me?” she asked

“I…. Mitchell please! I know you have every right to be mad at me but I realized my mistake and I’m sorry.

I’ve never felt the way I feel towards you with anyone and there was no information about you being in a relationsh¡p then.

I thought I would confess my feelings to you after a while but then, a shocking news about you wanting to get married began to trend.

I was deeply hurt and didn’t think twice before calling you. Tell me how you would feel if you were in my shoes.

Besides, I’m not saying I’m right. I know what I did was completely wrong and I’ve been apologizing for days now. Won’t you forgive me?” I asked almost crying

“Are you trying to blackmail me now by pretending to be sorry?” she asked not falling for my act

“I’m really sorry and you know that. If I wasn’t sorry, I would have left you a long time ago and stop bugging me. Please forgive me Mitchell” I said and went down on my knees

“You are purposely embarrassing me right?” she asked

“That’s not it! Okay, what am I supposed to do then? You aren’t willing to forgive me no matter what I say so what do you expect me to do?” I asked slowly

“Fine, I forgive you. Can I leave now? And will you stop following me around?” she asked sighing

“You’ve forgiven me, then that means we can be friends right?” I asked with a smile

“No! I’ve forgiven you but we can’t go back to being friends” she said stubbornly

“Please Mitchell. I won’t stand up until you agree to be friends with me” I threatened

“Really? You can remain on your knees forever then” she said and turned around to leave

“No Mitchell! I’m sorry, I was only joking” I said holding her hand

“You are stressing me so much, I can’t even have lunch because of you” she mumbled

“Please” I said cutely

“Fine, I’ve forgiven you and we’re friends again” she said

“Really? Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Mitchell, you don’t know how happy you’ve made me right now” I exclaimed joyfully

“I want to eat now, you can leave” she said

“No! We just became friends so let’s have lunch together. It’s my treat for forgiving me” I smiled and led the way

Way to go Kevin! I just succeeded in accomplishing my first step to success. If things can continue this way, it will only be a matter of time.

Chris POV

I got discharged this morning and Mitchell’s father asked me to stay at home and rest for three days at least. I have no choice but to obey him even though I just want to go to the company and work nonstop.

I need to take my mind off the secret I’m keeping from Mitchell and going to the company is the only place I can do that.

I want to tell Mitchell the truth but I’m scared. How can I tell her the truth when she has been kind of scary lately?

I’ve tried telling her after I got discharged but the cold shoulder she gave me stopped me from telling her. I feel like if I don’t tell her soon, it’s going to cause problems for me.

Some scenes suddenly popped up in my head again but this time, I saw my younger self and a little girl. We were both playing happily when a girl suddenly came out of nowhere and the little girl suddenly stopped.

It looks like she doesn’t like the new girl because her facial expression changed. The new girl looks a lot like…. Kathryn!

Yes, it’s Kathryn! She looks exactly like a younger version of her and the boy was a younger version of me. Who then is the little girl? Could she be the one in the picture with me?

I held my head in my palms and gro-ned in pain as a migraine suddenly hit me. I suddenly started feeling dizzy and strange sounds began to ring in my ear.

What kind of drug could they have injected in me that is making me feel this way? Even after so many years the drug still hasn’t worn off.

After a few minutes, I calmed down a little and heaved a sigh of relief. For how long is this going to continue?

That aside, I already know that Kathryn was in my past so she will definitely know something about me. Why did she then act like she doesn’t know me?

Even if my face probably changed a little, my name didn’t change right? She probably pretended not to know me but for what reason?

I need to confirm the truth from her. There’s no way she could have completely forgotten the memories of her childhood so I have to ask her.

I stood up to pick up my car key but I fell back on the couch. I’m still feeling very weak but I can’t afford to waste any more time. Who knows if my parents are still alive somewhere?

I should at least see them and feel what a parental love means. I stood up again and picked it up, going straight to the parking lot.

I drove speedily to Kathryn’s mansion and soon, I was at the gate. The gate automatically opened and I was able to go in.

“Look who we have here, it’s the almighty Chris Rodriguez” she mocked walking out of the house

“I’m not here for your mockeries and all that, I’m here to ask you some questions and I will appreciate it if you answer me honestly” I said

“Sure, go ahead” she said with a smile

“Do you remember Chris Rodriguez from your childhood?” I asked and I felt color drain from her face

With the look on her face and how her lip is trembling, something is definitely fishy.
