THE HEIR

(From a nobody to a Billionaire)

⚡Chapter 42⚡

Melissa’s POV

“Anna” Chris called after staring at me for a while

I stood still, staring at him but soon came to my senses. If I stand here like this and keep quiet, he will definitely know I’m Anna. I continued walking down the stairs and went to meet Kathryn who was seated on the couch.

“Who is he?” I asked

“He’s like a friend” Kathryn said

It looks like they were having a heated conversation before I came here. Why did I even come downstairs now? I should have waited a bit longer.

“Anna!” Chris called again

“Who is he referring to as Anna?” I asked Kathryn

“I don’t know. You should be asking him, not me” she shrugged

“You don’t need to pretend because I know it’s you. You hid your face with a facial mask, but you didn’t change your walking step and your figure” he said

How did he know I wore a facial mask? And did he take note of my walking step and figure? It’s going to be hærd to get myself out of this mess.

“Cat got your tongue?” he asked with a smirk

“I only kept quiet because I don’t understand what you’re saying. My name is Melissa, it has nothing to do with Anna” I said, pretending to be confused

“Ohh! So your real name is Melissa. Anna was just a disguise which you used in tricking me. Seeing that you and Kathryn are together, it must mean that you guys are working together.

Why did you disguise as Anna and try to ruin my marriage? Ahh! You won’t talk to easily. I have something on Kathryn so she has no choice but to answer my question.

For you, I have your pictures as Anna with me. I’m going to upload it online and let your fans know that you’ve been disguising as Anna to get down with different men.

I’m guessing you only disguised once, but your fans will definitely believe me if I tell them that you did it ten times. I’m also going to upload a picture of us k!$sing in the parking lot. I don’t need to tell you that I won’t let my face be known in the picture.

What do you say? Will you answer every single one of my question or should I do as I said?” he asked with a smirk

“I only did that because Kathryn asked me to do it. I did as I was told and that’s all” I quickly said

“I know she asked you to do it, I just needed to hear it from you. Why did you ask her to do that Kathryn?” Chris asked

Kathryn’s POV

I gulped down nothing nervously as I thought about how to lie to Chris. If I say the truth, then I’m done for but if I lie to him, he might find out considering how smart he is. I don’t think that will be good for me.

“If you’re thinking about lying, I advise you to change that mindset now. One lie and I won’t think twice before revealing your true face to the world” he threatened

“I asked her to do that because I wanted to separate you and Mitchell” I said after a while

“And how did you succeed in your mission? You must have done something to make me develop feelings for her” he said

“Well…. one of my friends introduced black magic to me so I used it” I said with my head bowed

“So, did I really get intimate with her? And is she pregnant for me?” he asked

“You guys didn’t do anything and she’s not pregnant either” I said with a sigh

I have no choice but to tell him the truth now, unless I want my career to be ruined.

“Ohh! Alright then. I’ve gotten what I needed from that aspect so let’s move to the main deal. Did you know me as a child or not? Remember to think twice before lying to me” he added

“I knew you as a child” I said with my eyes closed

“Were we friends or what?” he asked further

“We were friends” I simply said

“I had a sister right?” he asked and I felt my palms becoming sweaty

I won’t be able to answer this question without making a mistake and that single mistake can ruin my life forever.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” he asked

“I can’t remember clearly if you had a sister or not” I lied nervously

“Seeing as you’re lying about not knowing her, I guess you’re trying to hide something. I don’t care about whatever you are hiding, what I want to know is where she is. Where is my sister?” he asked

His sister? How can he ask about a dead person from a living person? Dora died seventeen years ago and there’s no way she can come back to life.

“Are you going to tell me about my sister or should I go ahead with my plan?” he asked

“Your sister is dead. She died seventeen years ago so please, stop asking me any question about her” I said raising my voice

“W…what are you talking about?” he asked with a stutter

“My sister and I didn’t go to the airport with my mom. Your dad took her in after my mom’s death so how can you say she’s dead?” he asked

“How did you know that my dad took her in?” I asked confusedly

“How did you think I was able to know that Anna wore a facial mask? I carried out my investigation and I discovered a lot of things. Tell me how my sister died in your mansion or you won’t like what I’ll do” he threatened

“I don’t remember because I was a little girl then. I know she died but I don’t remember how” I lied

“You don’t remember how? Fine! Let’s say you don’t remember how, I’m sure your dad definitely remembers how. Ask him about it and get ready to give me the full details.

I’m going to give you just three days. If you’re unable to find out how she died within three days, the world will come to know about who you truly are” he threatened and left

I immediately shut the door and locked it with the key, after which I heaved a sigh of relief. It’s not like I don’t know what happened but I’m scared of the outcome.

*Flashback to seventeen years ago*

I held a doll in my hand and went out of my room. When I got to the stairs, I saw Dora standing there with a sad look on her face.

The more I stared at her, the more it dawned on me that she was prettier than I am. I was just five then while she was three, but I hated her so much for her good looks.

“What are you doing?” I asked angrily

“I…I’m just standing” she said in her tiny voice

Dora was a very weak girl unlike Chris who was strong. She always stood behind him out of fear and intimidation and everyone was aware of the fact that she was a weakling.

“How I wish I could just get rid of her forever” I thought within me

“Move out of my way” I said even though she wasn’t standing in my way

She moved back a little but I was still not satisfied. I just hate everything about her.

“Move back” I said again

She took a few steps back but I wasn’t content. I then angrily pushed her away, and that was how she fell off the stairs. She died instantly as a result of how weak she was.

*End of flashback*

If I tell Chris what really happened to his sister, I’m sure he would want to make me rot in jail for the rest of my life.

It wasn’t intentional but I already had that evil thought of getting rid of her. I think my wishes just came through, and I have to live with that big secret for the rest of my life.

Chris POV

I got into my car and placed my head on the headrest as I thought about the many things that has happened within this past hour.

Before I started asking anyone of them questions, I placed my phone on recording. Now I only need to sort them out and play the part where she said she used black magic on me.

Once Mitchell hears that, we won’t have a problem in our relationsh¡p again. I can say I’m able to solve this already, but what about my sister?

I was really happy when the detective said I had a little sister. I thought I was finally going to be meeting a member of my family but Kathryn said she’s dead.

Even if I forgive them for everything, I won’t forgive them for my sister’s death. They definitely know something about how she died and that was why Kathryn lied at first.

How many more secrets do I have to unveil as I carry on with the investigation?

It’s clear that I’m a Rodriguez and I’m probably the only member still alive. I still need to find out who stole my parents wealth and companies.

Once I get them back, I will treat Mitchell like an egg and make sure she doesn’t stress herself. I’ll help her with her business and make her the heiress of the family.

*Three days later*

It’s been exactly three days since I went to see Kathryn and the time to tell me about my sister is almost over already.

I should just reveal the truth about her to the world like I said, but that won’t benefit anyone of us. I’ll just call her first and see what she’s up to.

That reminds me! Mitchell and I made up already. I played the recording of Kathryn’s confession to her but I didn’t tell her what I discovered about myself.

I won’t tell her anything now. I’m going to make it a surprise and I can only do that after I’ve successfully reclaim my parents properties.

The detective already found some clues and he says there’s a 20% chance that the Eduardo’s were involved in my parents death. The clues they’ve found so far, proves that.

I dialed Kathryn’s number, but she didn’t answer my call. I called her again for the second time and she finally picked it.

“Good evening. I don’t need to tell you why I called right?” I asked

“You don’t need to. Come to the address I’ll text you so we can talk. I don’t want you to come to my mansion often so people won’t start talking” she said

“Alright. I’ll be waiting for your text” I said and ended the call

A part of me had a bad feeling about going to that place but I have no choice. I have to find out about my sister and I also want to ask her about my parents and their property. She will definitely know something about it.

I called the guards assigned to me as I went to the parking lot.

“I need five of you to just disguise as random men and follow me closely in a taxi. Once I get down from my car, you’ll find somewhere to stay and see what happens.

If I happen to be in any kind of danger, you know what to do right?” I asked them

“Yes sir” they replied with a bow

“Good! I’m leaving now” I said and got into my car

They also got into a taxi and followed behind me as we headed to the address Kathryn texted to me.

When I got there, I discovered it was a warehouse. This just confirms that my suspicions were right. Is she planning to get rid of me here or what? I need to be prepared for anything.

I walked in,side the warehouse and almost immediately, the door closed behind me. I wasn’t expecting something different anyway.

“Look who we have here. It’s the last heir of the Rodriguez” I heard a male voice say behind me
