The Second Heir

Chapter 5

Greg sat on the couch as he stared blankly at the divorce papers in his left hand. He hadn’t slept the whole night.

Just when he finally decided to give in and stop battling with his father and accept his offer for Georgia’s sake … just when he finally decided to reveal his true identity to Georgia and take her back to his home and give her the glory she wanted … 

… she asked for a divorce!

His mind started wandering to the conversation he had with his father-in-law a few hours ago.

"Can't you see how Georgia is always silent and lowers her head at every party?"

Of course, he was aware of it. In fact, he did it on purpose at the beginning to test her because he didn't know her then! But that wasn’t his purpose in the long run.

Greg and Georgia's marriage was arranged by Grandpa Millen, Georgia's grandfather, who accidentally encountered him a few years ago when he had just left Von Ritcher’s mansion because of his stupid step brother. 

The old man happened to know that he was the second heir of Von Ritcher, the most famous and powerful family in the whole country, because he was friends with Greg’s grandfather. 

When they were young, Grandpa Millen and his grandfather dreamed of getting their children married, which never happened because they both had sons. 

That’s why, when Grandpa Millen found him, his old desires started to surface again and offered Greg to marry his granddaughter which of course was refused by Greg.

“At first, I rejected her since I didn’t know her … Who knows that I will fall for her beauty and her kind attitude toward Grandpa Millen?” thought Greg when he remembered how she willingly took good care of her grandfather while others fled. 

Then, he remembered her angry face when she knew that Grandpa Millen set her with him… and all the humiliation the two of them underwent from then on.

DING!

Greg’s thought was interrupted when a voice message came in.

The sender was Georgia!

But after listening to it …

"Ah…Ah…AH!!! Yes, there, Victor... Please…AH!"

Greg froze to the point.

That moan— … was Georgia's?

And… she was moaning about her ex-boyfriend's name! Did someone try to frame her?

The voicemail continued to play for 2 minutes, and when it stopped, Greg started to wake up from his shock and laugh at it.

"There's no way, it's Georgia's!" Greg shaked his head in denial, he didn’t believe what he had heard, someone must have hacked her phone, but his belief didn't last long because suddenly, the "hacker" sent a lot of photos.

They were Georgia's naked photos. 

There was even a photo of Georgia sleeping with Victor beside her!

"What the…" Greg stared in disbelief before another message appeared under the pictures and said:

"Like what you see, loser?"

PRANG!!!

Greg immediately threw his phone away as soon as he saw the last message. His already cracked phone became more cracker but Greg didn't care. 

The man was too outraged to think about it!

Georgia, the love of his life just dared to cheat behind him? Their marriage hasn't even reached 2 years yet!

Oh, and guess with whom she's having an affair with It was none other than Victor Hills, her ex-boyfriend, whose family wealth ranks 10th behind his!

"So, she just gives in to him easily because he's rich? Tsk, I guess the apple really fell not far from the tree, then. She was not different from her family! I’m glad I haven’t revealed my identity yet to her, I wonder what she would do if I told her about it!

She probably just gives her vagina freely every day," Greg mused as he laughed at his thought. A betrayed expression was clear on his face.

"Well, now I know that my love is just nothing for her. Okay, then, I’ll grant her wish. I will sign this damn divorce paper! I don’t need a gold digger by my side anyway."

After he finished signing the divorce papers, suddenly his cracked phone was ringing loudly, and when Greg saw the call, it was from his father.

"Tsk, why did he suddenly call me too? Doesn’t he vow to not want to talk to me anymore after I left that house? Why not use Dylan like usual?" Grumbled Greg, but he picked up the call in the end.

There was a long silence between them until Greg chose to break it

"What do you want?" He asked briefly, and after that, there was a coughing voice on the other line saying,

"Gregory," Mr.Von Ritcher called. Although his father's voice is a bit older than what he remembers, it still has a mature and manly sound in it."Come back... we need you." 

Greg just smiled bitterly. 

"What would I get in return, then?" Ask Greg bluntly, clutching his phone, he knew very well why his father called, and as he knew how heartless his father could be at times, asking for benefit was more suitable than randomly chatting.

"Greg, I know nothing I say will make the scars that I gave you disappear too soon," Mr. Von Ritcher sighed heavily.. There was another long silence from Greg’s end.

“Well, how about this? You come back and I announce you as the only heir to take over the family business. Deal?"

Deal? Why not? He was his father’s real legitimate son after all! Griffin was just a bastard of a mistress who married his father after his mother died in an accident.

Was it not for Griffin and that mistress, he wouldn’t have undergone so much injustice. And were it not for those painful past experiences, he wouldn’t have thought to start his own business at an early age of 13.

He now had several companies controlled by his men, unknown to his father, and especially unknown to his stepmother and stepbrother. They would have chewed him alive otherwise.

But now, with his stepbrother out of the way, and with his father’s words of making him the sole heir, it’s a different story. 

“Deal!”

Greg had no intention to refuse now.
