My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

"Cathy, why are you here?" the voice of a grown man was heard next to her.

Cathy looked up and was surprised to see who was now standing next to her. Before Cathy could answer, the man turned his gaze towards Felicia and looked at her gently.

Cathy felt amazed and flabbergasted when she saw her uncle, Benjamin Paxton, stroked affectionately on Felicia's head, who was sleeping.

Just as she expected, her uncle had a soft spot for Felicia. Before this, she didn't know how much he felt, and neither did she care. But now, she could see the exact way her uncle looked at the lady when Vincent looked at her.

Her heart ached again when Vincent's name popped into her head. Will Vincent leave her unannounced?

"Cathy, you haven't answered me. What are you doing here? I don't know if you know each other. Or did she call you here?"

Cathy shook her head quickly.

"No. We just happened to meet. Owen brought me here, and she was already here before me."

"Where's Owen?"

Cathy turned her head to look for her driver. Owen was now enjoying a glass of drink in the corner. The man sat with his back facing her while chatting with the bartender in charge. He didn't notice his mistress searched for him.

"Over there," answered Cathy, pointing to a minibar.

After confirming that Owen was indeed nearby, Benjamin bent down and carefully lifted Felicia ala bridal.

Felicia reflexively wrapped her hands around Benji's neck while delirious in her sleep.

"Benben..." muttered Felicia, unconsciously making Benjamin sigh in resignation.

"Stupid girl, why do you keep torturing yourself like this?"

Cathy rubbed her eyes couldn't believe what she saw. Is it true that this man is her uncle? She had never seen this side of her uncle like this.

Her uncle's last words criticized Felicia, but his tone sounded very soft and full of love. Benjamin even kissed the top of the head of the woman who was sleeping in his arms! 

Did she see wrong? Or is she dreaming?

"Cathy, Cathy .." Benjamin called her a little louder because apparently, Cathy had been in a daze.

"Yes, uncle?"

"You'd better get home right away. Get Owen to walk you home."

After saying this, Benjamin made his way toward the elevator. Seeing how her uncle looked at Felicia or the way her uncle showed his affection for Felicia made her miss her lover even more. But she had to confirm something first, even though she had to listen to the reality that would hurt her.

"Uncle, are you and Vincent cousins?"

Benjamin's footsteps stopped at his niece's question. Then turned around to look at Cathy.

"How do you know?"

"So... you are relatives?" Cathy felt her voice choke at the harsh reality.

"..." For a moment, Benjamin did not answer. Then he noticed that his niece's body was starting to shiver because she had moved from the heated chair.

The body of the woman she was carrying also began to tremble, so he finally decided to walk back to the elevator immediately after calling Owen.

Owen was a little surprised at the appearance of Benjamin and the woman he was carrying. However, he didn't ask anything and just stood behind them as the elevator they were taking descended.

"Uncle .. can I get the answer?"

"I understand. It's about time you got to know our history. Owen, take Cathy to Eastern Wallace and wait for me there."

"Yes, sir," replied Owen with a forced smile. It seemed that Owen didn't like the second miss being brought to Eastern Wallace.

A few hours later, Cathy arrived at the Easter Wallace, and not long after, Benjamin followed suit and lead Cathy to enter the estate.

Benjamin brought her to see several large portraits. Cathy had seen a photo of her mother in simple clothes and natural makeup. But the image she was currently seeing fascinated her.

Cathy has never seen a woman as beautiful as elegant but has a strong aura and undeniable dignity as in a woman like in that photo.

Who is she?

"She is your real mother, Chloeny Paxton."

Cathy gasped at the disbelief. The woman in the photo looks different from the photo shown by Kinsey.

Kinsey's photo showed a photo of a woman happy with the man she loves, while this photo showed a woman with a small smile as if she was chairing an important meeting.

The woman's whole appearance made her not think that the woman in the two photos was the same person.

It wasn't long before Benjamin showed her another large photo. Benjamin introduced her grandfather, the late Mister Davone Paxton, and his second wife, Benjamin's biological mother.

The next photo was of Davone and his wife holding a baby boy and a young girl who looks like her standing between the parents.

"Unfortunately, my mother burned Daniel's photo, so everyone thinks I am the only son of my father. My mother is the second wife of Davone. Daniel left the house after finding out that your grandfather married my mother secretly. Who would have thought my sister gave birth to a child secretly and entrust you to her own younger sibling."

Cathy's heart skipped a beat hearing this. She saw a light of hope when she heard her uncle's explanation.

"Does that mean I have no kin relation with Vincent?"

"My mother is Vincent's mother's sister, so we have a sibling relationship. But you have no family relationship with Vincent. That's why you don't need to worry."

Cathy breathed a sigh of relief to hear that. It turns out that they could still be together. Wait... why did her uncle tell her not to worry? Could it be...

"You knew?"

"Hm. I know. You two love each other and are in an item."

Cathy blushed hearing her uncle's blunt remark. "However, you should end your relationship. His family will oppose you once they find out you are Chloeny's real daughter."

"Why?"

Then Benjamin recounted the events of eighteen years ago. At that time, Vincent often came home at night for a year, but because there was no strange change in Vincent, his family did not feel suspicious.

One night, Vincent suddenly left the house without saying goodbye and immediately ride on his bicycle. Vincent didn't even hear nor heed his family calls.

At precisely four in the morning, someone from the hospital called the Blue Rosemary residence.. They told them that Vincent was in critical condition and needed emergency surgery.
