The CEO’S Secret Mistress

The next morning Blaine was woken up by a woman he hadn’t seen in eight years! His father’s oldest housekeeper!

” Señora Maria?” He said, scratching his eyes to confirm if he had seen right. The woman smiled at him and the more he looked at her in awe, the more her smile widened into a grin.

” I thought padré… I thought you were…”

” It’s okay Miguel, he didn’t. He never could.” She said patting his head as she looked at him. If anyone ever told her that she would see Blaine again, she would’ve never believed it. Yet, here she was standing in front of a young man who she thought died in an explosion. A young man that she saw as the child she never had.

” Are you ready for your wedding today?” She asked, reminding Blaine of a fact he was yet to accept.

He didn’t want to marry Isabella, not when he already has Victoria who he has not yet divorced. At least couldn’t he just deal with that?

As that thought was going through his mind, a young boy knocked on the door and entered Blaine’s room.

” Yes?” Blaine asked, looking at the boy from head to toe. The boy according to his assumptions would not be more than fifteen years old and he was wearing his father’s mafia chain on his neck. His father had hired someone who makes a chain significant to every single child he had trained under him. No two children could have the same chain.

Seeing this boy’s chain, he knew that his father was still taking homeless children or orphans and training them to do his dirty work and all of them had to call him father.

” Buenos Dias” the boy greeted but Blaine didn’t say anything.

” Papa asked me to give this to you,” he said handing Blaine a phone. Blaine took it and his eyes widened when he saw what was boldly displayed on the screen.

” Impossible,” he said and got out of his bed. His first thought was to go confront his father but he decided against it instantly. There are some people in the house today and that must be because of the wedding. He didn’t want them to realize that his marrying Isabella is not his will, which could cause rumors to spread all around Medellin about his father and that in turn could ruin his chances of keeping Mavis and her family safe.

With that in consideration, he just groaned and gave the phone back to the boy who kept looking at him with admiration. What was there for the kid to admire anyway? He wondered. It’s a life of struggles. If he had the power, he’d stop this boy from further ruining his life but he doesn’t.

” Papa says it’s yours now.” The boy said with a slight how before he left the room. It was then that Blaine realized what just happened.

” Is everything alright?”

” My wife…” He started to explain but then he realized that even Maria shouldn’t know about any of it so he switched it up,

“… that’s who Isabella is going to be from now on.” He said and Maria nodded with a smile.

” I know you do not love her but Isabella is… beautiful,” she said while clasping her hands over her stomach. Blaine noticed that she had gotten thinner and her grey hairs were now more noticeable.

” Beautiful? That’s all you have to say?”

” Yes,” she said simply and Blaine knew instantly that she does not like Isabella.

” I see.” Blaine said smiling a little, ” it’s been a while señora Maria. I didn’t think I’d ever see you again” he said turning around to look at this woman who had been the closest thing he had to a mother.

” I’m glad we can see each other but I just came here to let you know that your suit has arrived and you will be given a… haircut. You need to look very good today” she said formally and he sighed. His father must’ve told her to stop being so motherly to him and to be more formal with him.

” I don’t want to cut my hair. It’s a mullet you see.” Blaine responded and she nodded.

” I will let them know that, maybe it will be styled better.” She responded before she left.

He sat on his bed and looked at the phone in his hand and the text that was displayed on the screen. ” I will sign the divorce papers and never speak ill of you again. Just leave me and my son alone you devil!”

It was a message from Victoria. He scrolled upward and saw that just as he suspected, his father sent messages to Victoria pretending to be him.

” My god” he exclaimed when he saw the kind of threats his father sent to her before she gave in and agreed to sign the papers. Just then, he received a message from an unknown number, a link. He clicked on it and saw that Victoria has already started announcing to media outlets that they are now divorced. She was even admitting to cheating on him!

He wanted to use Victoria as an excuse to delay the wedding with Isabella but it turns out that his father already foresaw that. Now he has no excuse. He was so deep in thought that he didn’t realize when some men knocked on his door and entered.

He only realized when they entered and it greatly irritated him that he couldn’t lock the door because only his father’s fingerprint can do so.

” What do you want?”

” We’re here to cut your hair señor”

” I don’t want it cut,” Blaine responded running his hands through his long hair that had probably reached his shoulders.

” We’ll style it then. When were done with you you’ll be the most envied groom in the world!” The man who seemed like their boss said.

“Why are you many? Can’t one person style my hair? ” Blaine asked and the man nodded.

” They’re my apprentices. They need to see how it’s done sir and they could also help you with anything else you might need” the man responded.

” Whatever” Blaine said. His mood had become foul and it got even worse when he remembered that he has to convince Mavis to attend the wedding with her companions as well. She would NOT like that but she also doesn’t have a choice.

Meanwhile, Mavis had woken up and was catching up with Amy, Lisa, and Luke who were telling her their story of how Paulo brought them to Columbia.

” This is so wrong! Now Darla is dead.” Amy lamented woefully to Mavis who just listened to what they had to say in silence.

” Blaine will pay for this. It’s his fault. He brought this trouble upon us” she eventually said. That was when someone knocked on their door.

” Hello. We have brought your clothes for today’s wedding.” A girl said in English as she and other girls entered the room.

” This door isn’t locked?” Luke said, still holding his leg.

” And I will be treating that wound of yours,” a young woman dressed in a blue dress said entering the room with what seemed like her toolbox.

” Who are you?”

” Your nurse,” she said smiling at Luke who just looked away from her. Even though the nurse was beautiful, he wasn’t going to get swayed by her beauty. The girl he likes is dead and he wasn’t going to dishonor her death by getting easily distracted by another.

” Whatever.” He muttered.

” What wedding are you guys talking about?” Lisa asked the girls who were just standing there with different gowns in their hands.

” The one with Master Miguel and Isabella.”

” That’s today?” Amy asked, looking at Mavis who didn’t even seem the least bit surprised. She already called it

“Yes. You must pick your outfits and then we will style you, girls, for the wedding ”

” This is ridiculous. How can he do this? We went through all this stress because of him. Darla died because of him. Now he brought us here to attend a wedding?! ” Amy said angrily.

” We’re not attending any wedding. You all can go back with your clothes. It won’t be needed.”

” Please, Miss. You don’t have a choice in the matter.”

” Says who?” Lisa challenged.

” Mr. Miguel” the girl who was fluent in English responded while the others stood there in confusion.

” I won’t be going and that’s final,” Mavis responded. The girl sighed and went out of the room but she returned with armed men.

” It’s either you come for the wedding or… Something bad will happen to you all.” She warned. While the others were visible thrown by this threat Mavis wasn’t moved. If this is how they would kill her then so be it. That was what she thought would be best for her. What was the point of living as a puppet for Blaine’s “papa” she thought.

” I’m still not going,” Mavis said and waited for the men to do their worst.

” Alright, seize them!” One of them ordered and they carried Amy and Lisa out of the room. One was even pulling Lisa by her hair and when Mavis saw this, she got so infuriated and jumped down from the bed, ready to slap the man’s brain out from his head but someone beat her to it.

” Are you mad?!” Blaine said in Spanish after giving the man a very nasty slap across the cheek. He couldn’t believe that his father would tell the men to use any means necessary to cause them to attend. At this point Blaine was starting to feel very evil in his heart.

” If you ever touch any one of them again, I will gorge your eyes out of your sockets, fry them and give them to you to digest!” He said still in Spanish but Mavis and the rest didn’t understand it. All that Mavis felt was satisfaction because Blaine clearly never asked them to do this and the way he hit that man so hard across his face that he fell to the ground was enough proof of that.

” Do you understand?!” Blaine barked and the man nodded in fright. Mavis was shocked by how this huge man was so shaken and easily Frightened by Blaine who was two times smaller than him but she wasn’t exactly satisfied enough. She walked up to where the man lay on the ground trembling.

” Don’t you ever touch my sister with that filthy hand of yours” she said kicking the man in his balls while he groaned and cursed in Spanish.

” Are you okay Lisa?” Blaine asked but Lisa just pushed him off her and went to where the man lay holding his balls and kicked the man in his hands and then his balls again.

” Master Miguel!” He called angrily but Blaine just scoffed and said, ” don’t you know you shouldn’t rough handle women? You deserve that you turd”

He didn’t even know the man before yet all of them knew him and feared him. He wondered what his father had told them about him. He turned to find Mavis glaring at him along with her siblings, especially Luke.

” What’s all this ruckus?!” He heard his father say and fear instantly washed down his body but he masked it with a blank expression and turned around to face him.

” They can’t go to the wedding. They don’t have to padré. What kind of man invites his mistress to his wedding huh? It makes no sense so just leave them alone.” Blaine said to his father in a cold tone.

His father nodded and just walked past him and stood in front of Mavis.

“I cannot my son is acting like a fool all for an American woman,” he said but Mavis didn’t correct him that she wasn’t American. She was not even going to say anything but she froze when she felt something cool against her head. It was a gun.

“It’s either she goes or I shoot her. Good riddance to her anyway. ” He said looking at Blaine who instantly looked at Mavis and begged with her eyes that she should just agree.

” Then shoot me. I’m tired of this place anyway, I’m tired of all of you. I don’t want to be in this hell-hole so do your worst” Mavis said and Blaine shut his eyes in regret.

” Oh well. She made a good choice” his father said preparing to shoot her.

” If you shoot her, I will shoot her,” Blaine said with his arm locked around Isabella’s neck. His father seemed genuinely surprised because no one knew when Isabella came, no one except Blaine.

“No, please! ” She begged.

” Your visitors will soon come and start wondering why I am about to shoot my supposed bride and trust me, if you shoot Mavis I will shoot Isabella,” Blaine said in English so Mavis will understand.

” Then tell the lass to come to the wedding”

“No, she doesn’t want to. Let her grieve the death of her friend.” Blaine said. His father groaned before he let Mavis go but he made sure to toss her to the ground, but luckily Luke caught her.

“I will deal with you Blaine. You’re testing me badly ” his father said before he walked away.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
