THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS
(From a nobody to a Billionaire)
⚡Chapter 24⚡
Mitchell’s POV
I opened my eyes slowly looking around. I’m in a hospital yet again, why won’t they just let me be? I feel kind of empty probably because Chris isn’t here as usual.
“Mitchell, how are you feeling now?” Dad asked after noticing I was awake
“I’m fine now! What happened?” I asked softly
“Well, you pa-ssed out after getting drugged by someone” he explained shortly
“I was drugged? But who will want to drug me? I didn’t get into a fight with anyone recently” I said getting scared
“Chris will be here soon and we will be able to find out who drugged you and why they did that” he said
“Okay, I will just wait for him then” I said but almost immediately, Chris came in
“Mitchell, how are you doing?” he said sitting beside me
“I’m doing good, sorry I always get you worked up” I apologized slowly
“It’s nothing! You’re my wife and it’s my duty to protect you” he said with a smile
Dad coughed loud enough for us to hear and we quickly snapped out of our reverie.
“Uhhmm! Dad said you will find out who drugged me” I said trying to clear the tension
“I’m sorry to disappoint you but the man took his life” he said sadly
“What?!! What did you just say? You mean he took his own life just so he won’t answer your question?” her dad asked standing up
“Yes” Chris mumbled an answer
“Oh no! This is getting out of hands and I don’t think the matter is as simple as it seems. A life was lost which means this is a big issue” Dad said pacing around
“And…. he mentioned omerta. I know it has something to do with the Mafia gang but I’m not so sure what he meant” Chris said thinking de-eperly
“W…. What did you say? Omerta? Why will he mention omerta?” Dad stuttered moving backwards
“What exactly did he say? Tell me what he said” Dad asked holding Chris firmly
“He said he won’t say a word and he asked me if I’ve heard of the word omerta before swallowing a pill” Chris explained
“This is bad! That means the man belonged to a Mafia group and he musn’t say a word if he doesn’t want his family to get killed” Dad said staring into space
“A Mafia group? Does that mean someone from the mafia group is after me?” I panicked
“That’s how it looks like” Dad mumbled
“B… But why? I don’t even know anyone from any mafia group and I hardly make friends too. Dad I’m scared” I said clutching the duvet ti-ght
“It’s going to be fine! Nothing will happen to you as long as I’m by your side okay?” Chris a-ssured squeezing my hands gently while I nodded slowly
“Alright. You should rest now, I will be outside with Chris. You don’t need to worry about a thing okay? Your guards are here and we won’t go too far away” Dad said and they both left
Someone from the Mafia group is after me, but who? I mean, why will they even be after me? I’m not so popular yet someone from the mafia is after me. What will happen if I become a model then? I’m so scared.
Ronald’s POV
My plan to kidnap that girl failed for the second time again and I’m so enraged right now. One of my men has been taken away and it’s all because of that silly girl. I’m so not going to spare her when I finally lay my hands on her.
“Boss!” My un-derboss came in
“What is it?” I asked as calmly as I could
“You need to calm down boss, it’s bad news” he said slowly
“Bad news? What are you talking about? Spill it now before I slit your throat!” I screamed when he was wasting time
“Eric is dead! He took his own life when he was being pressured to say the truth” he said making me stagger backwards
Eric is dead? How is this even possible? I saw him few hours ago right? I might not have made Eric my un-derboss but he’s still the one I love the most.
He was with me throu-ghthick and thin and I always saw him as my brother. I couldn’t get too close to him because of my pride but I knew de-eper down that he meant a lot to me.
I closed my eyes for a few minutes and when I opened them, I was sure they were burning red.
“Mitchell has crossed all limits and I won’t spare her this time. I’m going to earn her trust slowly after which I will make her pay for Eric’s death” I said sternly
“Boss, your phone is ringing” one of my men said and brou-ght it to me
Kevin Russell? Why is he calling me now that I have a lot of things to attend to? He behaves like the devil most of the time.
“Yes? What do you want?” I asked non chalantly
“You must have gone crazy right? You don’t want to win this game fair and square but throu-ghdubious means? How could you even think of drugging Mitchell? You tried the first time but you failed woefully and you’re still repeating the same thing?
Why don’t you just act like a man and get close to her? Do you have to behave like a coward all the time?” he asked angrily
“Wow! All this for Mitchell? And since when did you start caring if I win fair and square or throu-ghdubious means? Let me guess, you like Mitchell right?” I asked sm-irking
“W… What? How dare you?!!” he screamed
“Chill okay? I only asked a question but I guess I’ve gotten my answer already. Good day!” I said and ended the call
Kevin Russell finally fell in love with a lady and it’s none other than Mitchell? This is so great! I can definitely use this to my advantage!
I thought of using his Mom but that guy is so cruel and I’m 100% sure he won’t flinch even if I threaten to kill his Mom. Mitchell has solved my problems for me so it’s only a matter of time.
I can’t kidnap her because her guards are everywhere but I can definitely approach her as a friend and slowly gain her trust. Like they say, a patient dog, eats the fattest bone. I only need to exercise a little more patience and I will have both Kevin and Mitchell wrapped around my fingers.
Kevin’s POV
I threw my phone against the wall and watched it break but I cared less. How dare that Ronald try to play games with me?
He thinks I’m in love with Mitchell? Why would I love someone like her? She’s so proud and full of herself, she wouldn’t even let me touch her so why would I like her not to talk of love her?
I don’t know what trick to use on her now that Ronald has succeeded in ruining things for me. Shouldn’t he plan things like this carefully?
What am I even saying? I can’t let him get Mitchell before I do and now that this happened, the security around Mitchell is going to increase.
Her Dad is very rich and powerful and Mitchell being his only child makes him love her so much. I doubt if there’s anything in this world that he can’t do for Mitchell.
It looks like I will have to go back to my old plan of making friends with Mitchell and getting her to trust me. If I plead with her for a few days and pretend to be a changer person, I’m definitely going to win her over in no time with my charms.
*Three days later*
After planning on how to meet up with Mitchell for three days, I’ve finally decided to see her. She can’t do anything to hurt me, the best thing she can do is ignore me and I’m going to exercise patience until then.
I took the flowers I prepared and got down from my car. I learnt she was still busy with training so I decided to wait until it was time for lunch. Fortunately, she came to the parking lot about two hours later but with her bodyguards surrounding her. This is sure going to be tougher than I presumed and it’s all because of that di-ckhead’s fault.
“Good afternoon Mitchell!” I greeted with a small smile trying to approach her but was stopped by her guards
“What do you want?” she asked coldly
“I want to speak with you for a moment, please don’t say no” I pleaded
“Really? Who threatened me just a few weeks ago? You threatened to ra-pe me if I didn’t become your girlfriend or have a one night stand with you right?” she smi-rked while I bowed my head in shame
“I’m sorry Mitchell, I know I messed up but can you please hear me out this once?”
“Fine then! You can follow behind me in your car so we can talk at the restaurant” she said simply and got into her car
She’s so full of herself just because bodyguards are now by her side day and night, she feels she’s now safe because of them.
Enjoy yourself for as long as you can Mitchell Campbell, because Kevin Russell will definitely crawl his way into your heart and have you in bed.
I got into my car and followed behind her like she said. Everything was going smoothly until Mitchell’s car suddenly screeched to a halt.
I was surprised as to why that happened but I decided to sit calmly and see what happens next. I became even more surprised when I saw Mitchell got down from the car. I couldn’t hide my curiosity anymore so I got down from my car and decided to check what was going on.
When I got there, I saw Mitchell bending down with a worried look on her face as she stared at the man before her. I looked closely and discovered that the man was none other than Ronald.
What the hell is this? Why is he on the floor here? Wait! Could he have done this on purpose just to attra-ct Mitchell’s attention? My goodness! This is driving me nuts?
“Are you okay? What am I even saying? You’re not okay. Help him get into the car and let’s take him to the hospital” Mitchell said standing up
“I’m fine, it’s just a small scratch” Ronald said gently and one wouldn’t even suspect that he was putting on an act
“Kevin we can’t talk today, let’s just make it tomorrow. I have to take him to the hospital” she said
“Your guards can take him to the hospital, it’s just a minor injury. Are you going to ignore me just because of him?” I asked trying so ha-rd to control my rage
“What’s that supposed to mean? If I was to choose between you two, I will definitely choose him over and over again” she said harshly and got into her car leaving me alone there
How dare that Ronald try to play games with me? He couldn’t find any other time except now to pull off his act and Mitchell being the gullible lady she is instantly fell for his tricks.
Even if I warn her about Ronald, she will not listen to me so I better just mind my own business. Besides, the reason why I’m also approaching her is to have her in bed so I’m not quite different from Ronald.
I just hope I get to win this game because I definitely can’t let Ronald have a taste of Mitchell before I do.
“Boss, why are you back so early? You said you were going to spend close to an hour” my personal bodyguard asked when I returned home
“I don’t want to receive any visitor for the rest of today so do your job properly and don’t ask me stupid questions” I said angrily and went into my room
Ronald won today and I lost but from now onward, it will be the other way around. I will show him the length Kevin Russell will go to achieve his goal.
