THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS
(From a nobody to a Billionaire)
⚡Chapter 41⚡
Kevin’s POV
I 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 hærd 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 hærd 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 to be awake already” she said
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t know you would still be sleeping” I apologized
“It’s really fine. By the way, why did you call so early in the morning?” she asked
“I heard you were shot so I called to know how you’re doing” I said
“How did you know I was shot? It was properly hidden from the media” she said suspiciously
“Well, I’m Kevin Russell and I have my way around things” I quickly said
I didn’t even think about that before calling her. There’s no way I could ha e found out she was shot if I wasn’t a Mafia boss, unless I had her followed.
“Hmm! I still don’t think you should be able to find out so quickly. Anyway, I’m fine now. Thanks for checking up on me” she said and I heaved a sigh of relief
“That’s good to hear. You won’t be going to the agency today right?” I asked
“No. Chris told me to stay at home for the rest of the week” she said
“C… Chris? I thought something happened between you guys” I stuttered
“Yeah, something did happen but we’re figuring it out already. We’ll talk later, I have to go now” she said and ended the call
I don’t understand this. She just told me about two days ago that she and Chris decided to stay away from each other for a while. How are they back so quickly?
I had thought this was my chance to prove my love to Mitchell and win over her completely but Chris keeps getting in my way all the time?
Should I just get rid of him? Argh! The thought of him alone is driving me nuts. Why did he even have to come into the picture in the first place? I should just keep a close watch on Ronald for now.
Mitchell’s POV
I ended the call with Kevin after I heard footsteps. I thought Chris left already but it looks like he’s still in the bathroom.
“Good morning Mitchell” he greeted as soon as he walked into the room
“Morning. I don’t think it’s safe for you to go to work now, just stay at home” I suggested
“No, I have to go. The culprit won’t be able to do anything for a while so don’t worry about it” he said with a smile
“Alright then. Call me when you get to work and make sure you take care of yourself” I said
“I will”
He got ready for work and was done in some minutes after which he took his briefcase.
“I will be leaving now. Make sure you get as much rest as you can and don’t leave the house” he said
“Yes daddy” I joked
“I’m serious here” he said with an eyeroll
“Of course, I understand. Bye!” I bade him farewell with a smile and watched him until he was completely out of sight
My phone rang almost immediately and it made me feel like the caller was waiting for Chris to leave the house.
“Good morning ma’am” came the voice of the architect
“Morning! Sorry I haven’t transferred the money yet, I’ve been busy for a while now. I’ll send the money as soon as I drop this call, I promise” I said
“Alright ma, I’ll be expecting it”
I ended the call and checked the amount of money I was left with. The total amount I have left in my bank account is $3000000 dollars.
I’ve given them $2000000 dollars before and now they are asking for another one. I just hope they don’t ask for any other money after this. I still need a lot of money to start the business after building the company.
I will be needing lots of computers and other equipment for the technologies I’m about to develop. This thing is really driving me nuts.
How does grandma a d grandpa expect us to build two companies and make a profit of $100000 within three months?
It seems to me like she did this on purpose. I’m the only one that works in the family company as an accountant. Others have their own jobs so it won’t be so hærd for them to build their company and make the profit. It’s going to be extremely difficult for me but I will give it my all still.
I might have to ask the manager of my agency for an advance payment. It will definitely be embarrassing but it doesn’t matter.
Chris POV
On my way to the company, I got a call from the detective and I answered it almost immediately.
“Good morning sir” he greeted politely
“Morning sir. Did you find something new?” I asked
“Yes. We’ve found a lead. Will you like to come over or should I just explain it over the phone?” he asked
“Explain it over the phone” I said after a few seconds
“You see, we found out that Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez had two children before they died. It was a boy and a girl and that picture you gave us is a picture of them. Since you were the boy in that picture, it means you’re their o only son and first child.
They were traveling out of the country when their plane crashed. A bomb was placed in,side the plane but we don’t know if it was meant for them or someone else. No one survived that plane crash, but the good news is that they left you and your sister at home.
You were injected with something to erase your memories and that’s probably why they didn’t get rid of you. About your sister’s whereabout, the Eduardo’s were the ones that took her in after your parents died. No one heard anything about her after that.
Also, after your parents died, their wealth and property disappeared almost immediately. Some of their companies were sold while others were taken over by some people.
We haven’t been able to find out who exactly it was but I’m 90% sure that the Eduardo’s know something about it. They must also know your sister’s whereabout so you can ask them about it.
We won’t stop investigating too and I will let you know as soon as we find something else” he concluded
“Thank you so much detective. I really don’t know how to appreciate your hærdwork and efforts. You didn’t tell anyone else about this right?” I asked
“No, you asked us not to” he said
“Good! Please always keep me updated” I said
“I will sir”
I ended the call and released the breath I didn’t know I was holding.
This means I was the son of a very rich man. Not just even any rich man. The Rodriguez were the richest in America before the Eduardo’s took their place.
Why do I have a feeling that the Eduardo’s stole my parents wealth? They could have become very wealthy at any other time but it had to be after my parents death.
Detective Karl said I had a sister but where is she? Kathryn is the only child of the Eduardo’s that I know of, does she have a sister? If she has a sister, then it’s probably my sister.
I picked up my phone and dialed the detective’s contact again. It will seem like I’m disturbing him but he has to bear with me until I find out the whole truth about my family.
“Sorry to disturb you again sir. I want to know if Kathryn has a sister or not” I said after he answered the call
“Yes sir. She has an elder sister who is a well known actress but I heard they aren’t in good terms” he answered
“Alright sir, thank you” I said and ended the call
So she has an elder sister? That can’t be my sister because Kathryn and I are age mates. My sister can’t possibly be her elder sister.
I think I need to pick the pieces together first. Kathryn denied knowing me from childhood even though she remembers and that alone means she’s hiding something.
She sent someone to get rid of me which means there’s something I’m not supposed to find out. She already told me to stop searching for my family if I want to live long. She must have decided to get rid of me since I refused to listen to her.
Besides that, her dad also sent someone after me. He told someone to follow me around and I have a hunch that he also killed that old man.
The one thing I’m sure of right now is that I belong to a wealthy family but the question is, where did all of their wealth go?
Did Kathryn and her Dad really steal my dad’s wealth after his death? Is that the reason why they are trying to get rid of me at all costs?
Now that I know that Kathryn tried to kill me, I should go to her mansion. Whether she likes it or not, she has to tell me why she tried to kill me and she also has to tell me about my family.
I turned my car around and headed for her house instead of the company. I put a call through to Mr. Williams and told him I will be going out first. He didn’t complain but he told me to be careful because of what recently happened.
When I arrived at Kathryn’s mansion, I saw a guy walking out of her gate. He was wearing black all through and his car was parked at the other side of the road.
I don’t need anyone to tell me that he does dirty jobs for money. Could he have killed that guy last night? I guess so.
I honked at the gate several times and had to wait for a few minutes before it was finally opened. I drove in and parked my car after which I went into the mansion.
The door was not properly closed so I just pushed it open and walked in.
Kathryn was alone in the sitting room with her phone in her hand. When her eyes met mine, she shifted uncomfortably on the couch and avoided my gaze.
“You don’t need to try to avoid my gaze, just answer my question truthfully or you won’t like yourself. I have proof that you sent someone to kill me so if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life in prison, answer every single one of my questions” I said and sat down
“What do you want?” she asked still avoiding my gaze
“Avoiding my gaze will do you no good. Anyway, why did you try to kill me?” I asked
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she lied
“You seem not to have understood what I said. Should I just leave then? The police will be here in twenty minutes at most” I said and stood up
“Fine, I will answer your question” she quickly said
I was about asking her again when I suddenly heard footsteps descending the stairs.
This walking step seems familiar. The scent also seem familiar and finally, the figure. Is she someone I know? Her face doesn’t look familiar though.
“Anna!” I called after some minutes of staring at her
