THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

‘Why did you kill her? Is Dad aware that you orchestrated the accident which led to her death?’ Richard asked, still shocked by his mother’s revelation.

‘No, he isn’t aware. As for why I killed her, Daniel caused it all. Few months before Catherine died, Daniel found out I was cheating on him with his brother, Liam. After finding out about my infidelity, he changed towards me and then one day, he asked for us to break up. He told me he was done with our relationship. He said he wanted to focus on Catherine and their son, Edward, and give love a chance between them. I felt hurt by his words and tried to convince him to go back on his words, but he wouldn’t budge. I loathe losing and I couldn’t condone Catherine having Daniel to herself. So, I devised a plan to make Daniel have a change of heart. Guess what I did?’ Allison (Molie) said, facing her son Richard, showing she was happy with the decision she took 18 years ago.

‘Just like every other woman would have done, I devised a plan. I had decided to ruin everything on Edward’s 9th birthday anniversary and which I successfully did. That night, I had sent Richard a devastating message. ‘I have few months to live’, that was the message I had sent him. Seeing the message I had sent, Richard asked about my whereabout at the party which I had told him. What I had planned that night was to convince Daniel to declare his intention to divorce Sophia at the party but that did not go as I had planned. When Daniel got to where I was that night, I had lied to him that I had cancer and I had just a few months to live. He didn’t want to believe what I had told him at first but with the fake tears I shed and the fake doctor’s report and test report which I had shown him, he eventually fell for my lies’, Allison said, with her son, Richard looking at her, finding it hard to believe his mother has been wearing a mask the whole time.

‘I can clearly remember our conversation that night. Do you know why? Because I was able to achieve my aim; my aim of removing my obstacle which was Catherine. I managed to convince Daniel that night to divorce Catherine as I had told him, I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and you by my side. ‘I want to die resting on your shoulders’, I had told him, shedding fake tears. I must say, I was a really good actor’, Allison said, laughing.

‘While in the middle of our conversation, I had sighted Catherine approaching. And so, taking the initiative, I drew Richard closer to me, locking my lips with that of his. I enjoyed the pain Sophia felt that night when Daniel proposed divorce. As she was leaving the party that night and heading towards her car, I smiled because I knew that would be the last time. The last time I would set my eyes on her because I had made sure her car was tampered with. She wouldn’t have died if Daniel hadn’t changed his attitude towards me’, Allison said with pride.

‘You did all these, and you still want to get revenge on the Lion’s family? What did they do wrong? You are the one that hurt the family!!! You made Edward motherless at a very young age. You lied to me to make me go against the family when you hurt them. Because of your lies, I lost Pamela and my child!!!!!! Why are you doing this mum?’, Richard asked, yelling at his mum.

‘What did they do wrong? Catherine snatched my man!!!! Daniel on the other hand chose the company over us, leaving us with nowhere to go!!! I had to run away from the city with you in my arms when I found out Catherine’s dad was after my life’, Allison said, becoming infuriated.

‘Mum, can you please let go? Let go of everything and let’s move back to Malibu. You have caused more than enough havoc in the family. I beg of you, mum’, Richard said pleadingly, in a tired voice.

‘Let go? I can’t do that. I didn’t come this far to give up now. I even had to undergo plastic surgery to change my face and my identity just to get my revenge on them. I had to kill the real owner of this face and this identity I am using just for me to get my revenge. I will make sure to get my revenge at all costs and I wouldn’t mind getting rid of anyone who wants to get in my way, even if the person is my blood’, Allison said with determination and ruthlessness in her voice.

‘The earlier you realize you need to fight and take your place, the better. Edward’s place belongs to you. Daniel’s blood runs in your veins. Get a grip and be focused’, Allison said, patting Richard’s back and walking away.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Edward, who was standing outside, was shocked at the revelation that Richard is his brother. He couldn’t believe that Allison was Molie. When he noticed Allison’s steps approaching, he quickly hid so as for him not to be noticed. After making sure Allison had left, Edward stood by the entrance of the church, peeping in to see Richard and there, he saw him sitting on the bench, weeping. He looked drained out of energy and Edward couldn’t help but to pity him.

As Edward hit the road in his car on his way to Ellie’s place, all he could think about was the death of his mother. The death of his mother which he had thought to be a car accident was actually a murder in disguise of one. The healing wound in his heart which was caused by the death of his mother seemed to have become fresh, hurting him so badly. His father whom he had blamed his whole life for the death of his mother was actually not the real culprit.

Boiling with anger as he drove, he promised himself to get revenge on Allison and make her life miserable just as she had made his mother’s life miserable.
