The turned billionaire heir

Chapter 9

My precious? He thought in confusion as he looked at the middle aged woman. What did she mean by that? Why was everyone confusing him for the wrong person? How else did he want to explain that he was not even that type of person they must have thought he was? He thought and looked at him in shock.

" Ma'am, I think you need to understand something here. I'm not your son or whatever you may…"

Before he could complete his statement, the woman had given him a very tight hug that he thought that he would suffocate at the moment. What was wrong with all these rich people? Did they not recognize their own anymore? He turned as he looked at her in shock.

Just then, he sensed something. It looked as if the woman was really shedding tears. She was sniffing so hard that he thought that something was wrong with her.

" Ma'am, I'm not your precious or whatever you may think…" he said, hoping that she would understand but instead, she smiled as she looked at him and disengaged from the hug. She stared at him for a while and realize something. It looked as if he was confused and had a lot of questions he wanted to ask but it seemed as if no one was answering him.

" I understand what's going on with you. You're probably shocked and need someone to explain a whole lot of things to you, right?"

" Ma'am, no matter how much you tell me to explain, I'm not your son and…

" Just hold on, dear. You're my son and I can prove it to you!"

" What do you mean by that! Why will you tell me that I'm your son? You can get sued for this!" He said and frowned. This is how rich people behave? He thought.

" I'm your mother, Jack!"

Wow! She had even researched his name also? Is this for real? She already knew whom he was even before he got here?

" Listen, ma'am, I'm not your son. Maybe I just look like him. I'll like to take my leave now and .."

" No no no, please wait" she said hurriedly and walked towards her drawer and brought out some documents while he looked at her in confusion. At this rate, was this woman trying to bribe him so that he would deny his sick mother whom was at the hospital or what? He thought as he continued to stare at her as she brought out a file and walked towards him.

He was not wealthy but then, it was not enough reason for him to deny his mother. He was patiently waiting for her to come and tell him about money and by then, he would make sure that she had messed with the wrong person!

" Come and sit down" she said and smiled as she pulled him towards the large chair in the room because she already figured out that by the looks of things, he may just leave the room and never come back.

" Listen to me carefully, I gave birth to only a son which was just you but then, when I had you, I and your father wanted to give you all you ever wanted in life. We cherished you so much that you didn't know what else to ask for again." She said and paused as she smiled a bit, starting into space as if she was seeing everything that was replaying in her memories.

" But then, I proposed to your father that we should celebrate your first year birthday since we had been so excited to watch you grow ever since you grew up. We invited a lot of guests into this same house and even invited your few friends from daycare that you loved"

She said and sniffed as she cleaned a tear in her eyes.

" I was holding you and had left you in the presence of a maid to look after you while I went ahead to welcome the guests. I did not find out soon that the maid was not actually a maid. She was someone else we did not know"

" When it was time for you to cut your cake was the time that we had discovered that she had absconded with you. We checked the CCTV cameras and found out that she had left a while ago before we found out. We traced her but all to no avail. "

" She took you away from us and for years, we had been searching for you and did not find you until your father died" she said and cried.

" What?" He said in shock. But then, why did a part of him feel so bad for this woman and a part of him still believed that she was still not telling the truth? Why did it seem as if she was saying gibberish? He thought again as he stared at her.

" There's a mixup somewhere, ma'am. You don't understand. I have my mother. She's laying at the hospital. How can I have two mothers?" He said again.

" I know that you're doubting me. After all, all what I have said is too much for you to handle. You can have this" she said and handed him a file. He brought out the document in the file and looked at it. It was. DNA result of she and him which proved that she was his mother but how come? How did this happen? He had a mother? She was his birth mother and people used to tell him that they had a lot of similarities, then how come was this happening to her? Does this mean that all his life, he had been living a life full of lies and he did not know? The woman he claimed was his mother did not tell him the truth? But why? He thought.

This was just too much for him to understand. At that moment, he stood up. Even if she was not feeling fine, he needed to know the truth. Why did she have to tell lies and why did she have to end up with her? Was she perhaps the maid that took him away from his parents? He thought again.

Just as he was about to open the door, the woman that claimed to be his mother rushed towards him and hugged him from behind sobbing so hard.

" Please don't leave me. I beg of you. Listen to the pathetic me! If you leave me now, what will be left of me? I lost your father already because of you. We've been searching for you for a while and we were told never to but your father was adamant. I have found you already according to his last wish and what I want. Please…"

" I have to leave!"

" Listen to me. They have eyes on our wealth. Your father's family. They want to do all they can to have it. Infact, they don't want me to find you.

They've been maltreating me for a long time. I'm not free anymore. They let me know that I'm not free to do anything anymore since it's not my money. Please, help me. Everything proves that you're my son already. Stay with me and be in control of your father's wealth" she said while he became so shocked.

Does this mean that he was now a very wealthy heir? Just like a dream?
