The Heir novel Chapter 14

AFTER the contract signing, Victoria decided to head home first. She wanted to savor the moment of her victory by herself for a while. She will tell the good news to her family later that day.

“We are here,” Maximillian announced as he pulled over in front of their house.

She turned her gaze on her husband when he did not move an inch to open the door for her.

“Aren’t you getting off the car?” Victoria asked with a knot on her forehead.

He reached for her cheek and patted it. “I need to go to the hospice to check on my mom. I will be back soon, I promise.”

She sighed and nodded slowly.

“You must. Because I want you to take me to the Griffith mansion this afternoon.”

“And then, we will celebrate your victory after.” Her husband beamed.

“Yes.” Victoria leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. She then twisted the knob and got off his car.

She waited until the car disappeared from her vision before getting inside the house. And despite the delight she was feeling on her chest for successfully signing the contract, there were these thoughts that would not get out of her head.

Victoria plopped down on the sofa and took a deep breath.

There were only two things to answer that question that has been running inside her head since they left the LS Group building. A, Maximillian was cheating on her with Vanessa Smith. B, the woman was a sister or a distant relative.

Cupping her head, she looked at the ceiling and groaned.

Of course, there was no way her husband would cheat on her. He was always faithful to their marriage, and never in their years together that she felt that Maximillian was falling out of love. Shame on her for thinking that way towards her husband when he made her feel his love. Now, she had to rule out the first option.

And as for option B…
