The heir and his heiress episode 35
THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS
(From a nobody to a Billionaire)
⚡Chapter 35⚡
Mitchell’s POV
I feel so heartbroken and betrayed right now. I don’t even know what to do, I’m just tired.
I fell in love for the first time and the only thing I got was betrayal. How could Chris do this to me? Why did he allow Kathryn to be right about him?
I had thought he was different from other guys because he had a quiet nature but he proved me wrong. He hurt me in the worst way possible and I don’t even know how I’m supposed to live from now on.
When he treated me like a queen and brought breakfast to me in bed, I thought he was the perfect guy for me. I thought I had finally found my Mr. Right and the person I want to spend the rest of my life with but I was wrong.
How could he do this to me? All I’ve ever shown him is love and my sincere heart. I even promised to find his family for him knowing that will put a smile on his face.
All I’ve ever wished for him is happiness but what did her do? He stabbed me in the back, trampled on my heart and made me look like a fool.
I waited for him to return home in the evening so we can discuss many things and how our day went but he was in the hands of another woman. Goodness! I don’t even want to think about it anymore.
I picked the first bottle of wine and opened it. It contained strong alcohol but I didn’t care about that. I just wanted to get rid of my sorrow at all cost.
“Mitchell?” I heard someone call behind me
The voice sounded like that of Kevin but my vision was becoming blur already and I wasn’t hearing things clearly. I guess the alcohol is taking effect already.
“What are you doing here Mitchell and why are you drinking? It’s not good for your health” he said and collected the bottle from me
“Give me back my drink, let me drink away all my sorrow” I said with tears rolling down my cheeks
“You can do that later, not today. Right now, you need to go home, your family must be waiting” he said and tried to pull me up but I withdrew my hand from his
“I don’t want to go home, I just want to drink away my sorrow and finally wake up from this dream tomorrow morning” I said
“You can drink water, it will also calm you down. I can’t allow you take any more alcohol because you’re drunk already” he said
He dropped a bottle of water before me and took away all the bottles of alcohol. Having no other choice, I took the bottle of water and slowly drank from it.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked softly
I wanted saying no, but on a second thought, I decided to say yes. They say a problem shared is half solved, who knows if he will even solve the remaining half for me.
“Chris cheated on me with another woman and now, she’s pregnant for him” I summarized and bursted into another round of tears
“What the hell!! Which guy in his right senses will dare to cheat on a woman like you? I really don’t know what to say but I know you’re really hurt. I’m sorry” he said
“Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything so it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for trusting and believing in him, thinking he would be different from other guys.
I can see now that all men are jerks and there’s no one that can be genuine to any lady. I hate myself for loving him” I cried
He pulled me into a hug after a while and said soothing words to me. I cried and cried until there were no tears left in my eyes, I didn’t even have any strength left in me. It’s like I used up all my strength while crying.
“Are you ready to go home now?” Kevin asked
“No, I don’t want to go home. I will stay in a hotel for the night” I said
“Are you sure you will be okay in a hotel? It will be better if you return home and not let your Dad get worked up” he advised
“He will understand me, don’t worry about it. I’m leaving now, bye” I said and left
I drove my car to a hotel and booked a room for the night. As soon as I laid on the bed, tears pooled up in my eyes and I started crying again.
I really can’t explain how I feel but I think it’s betrayal. It’s my first time loving someone and Chris broke my trust in him. How could he even do that to me?
He could have just said he doesn’t love me right? Or he could have said he had someone else when he started seeing that waiter.
Kathryn is going to mock me so much if she hears about this and that alone is bringing more tears to my eyes.
If someone told me a few days ago that Chris would betray me, I would never believe them. But now, the bitter truth is before me, staring right at me.
Chris POV
Kathryn’s words rang in my ear over and over again, almost driving me nuts. Ever since she said those things this afternoon, I’ve been thinking about it.
How can she make that kind of threat? It didn’t even seem like it was empty, that’s the most confusing path.
How can she talk about killing someone like it’s a normal thing to do? I can’t even imagine it so how will I talk about it?
That’s not even important right now, I need to find Mitchell first. I’ve called her line several times but she’s not answering.
I know she’s extremely mad at me and might not even forgive me ever again but it want to know if she’s okay. I don’t want her to do something that she will come to regret later on because she’s hurt.
Mr Williams call came in and I picked it after sighing softly.
“Have you found her yet?” he asked
“No sir! She’s not even answering my calls, I’m really scared” I said shakily
“Calm down Chris! I called her too but she’s not answering and I’ve asked someone to track her phone, we will find her soon” he assured
“But what if…”
“There are no what ifs Chris. Just go home, take a cool shower and rest. I’ll let you know once we find anything” he said
“You know I can’t do that. I can’t sit comfortably knowing she’s nowhere to be found and is really upset with me”
“Fine then! You can keep checking all the places you know she might be, I’ll still let you know once I find anything”
“Thank you sir” I said and ended the call
If I find Mitchell and she eventually forgives me, I won’t even look at a lady twice ever again. What happened between Anna and I is still so confusing to me.
I know how disciplined I am and even in my drunk state, I will never do something like that with any woman. It seems to me that there’s more to this but I can’t figure it out just yet.
Mitchell was with my phone already before the message came in which means it was a plan all along. There’s no way it could have been just a coincidence. If I want to get to the bottom of this, I need to ask Mitchell about what prompted her into checking my phone in the first place.
I returned home like Mr. Williams suggested after I got tired of searching. She will definitely return by nightfall because she doesn’t have any other place to stay.
I waited and waited until I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was past ten already and surprisingly, Mitchell still wasn’t back.
“Dad, she’s not back yet” I said to Mr. Williams as soon as he answered my call
“What?! She’s not back? I thought you weren’t calling me anymore because she was back already” he panicked
“I’m so sorry, I fell asleep about two hours ago” I mumbled
“It’s okay. We will declare her missing if she doesn’t return home by 8am tomorrow. Go to bed now” he said and ended the call
My goodness! How could I even have fallen asleep while waiting for Mitchell? What is wrong with me?
I sat on the couch with a heavy sigh and rubbed my forehead. I don’t know if I will be able to sleep tonight knowing that Mitchell is out there, probably in danger.
I know she’s mad at me but why did she have to leave the house? I could have just left instead right? This is her parents mansion and she shouldn’t leave for anyone.
Once she returns, I will try to apologize to her and give her space for the time being. I know u hurt her and betrayed her trust and I know I don’t deserve her forgiveness.
I just wish she would consider the fact that I was wrong and wasn’t in a right state of mind. That reminds me! I haven’t called Anna ever since she sent that message, I’ve been too busy with Mitchell.
I need to confirm what she meant by that message and if at all it’s true. If she really is pregnant for me, then I think I’m done for.
Mitchell might forgive me but what about my child. Will he grow up without a father just because of my silly mistake? Besides, I know Mitchell won’t allow that. She will file a divorce and ask me to get married to Anna. No! I can’t let that happen.
I picked up my phone and dialed Anna’s contact. It rang fortunately and I waited for her to answer it.
Kevin’s POV
I stared at Mitchell’s innocent face as she slept like a baby and mumbled incoherent words in her sleep. It’s really good to be rich with so many connections.
I paid a guy to follow Mitchell around and inform me about her movement everytime without letting anyone find out or suspect him.
He kept giving me the information about her whereabout but when he told me she had gone into a club, I knew something was off.
I’ve known Mitchell for a while now and she has never been to a club, why would she go there now?
I decided to come to the club to see things for myself and find out what exactly is going on. Luckily, I got there on time like the hero I am.
Ronald thinks he can defeat me in this game but I’ll let him know that I can’t be defeated by anyone. I’m the ladies man and I can definitely get any lady I want, Mitchell included.
He’s still a novice in this but he decided to make a bet with me. Let him bring it on and let me show him who the real boss is.
Now that I was there for Mitchell when Chris betrayed her, she will start seeing me in a different way and her heart will soften towards me. I can’t wait to see the look on Chris face when I take Mitchell home tomorrow.
He will feel like killing me but he won’t be able to do anything because Mitchell is extremely mad at him. Slowly, Mitchell will begin to develop feelings for me and I will step up my game at the right time and prove to Ronald that I’m the boss.
I did it with Kathryn so there’s no harm in doing it again with Mitchell. Besides, I want Mitchell’s own to be different. I don’t want to force myself on her like I did with Kathryn, I want her to make a move herself.
It’s time for me to act like the playboy I am and get Mitchell to fall head over heels for me. I can’t wait for the day she will beg me to hold her.
TBC….. Who is still awake? GN🥰
