The Devil's Love For The Heiress

Chapter 60

Chapter 60: The Drug Side Effects “Aahh! My nose!” A loud scream escaped Hailey’s lips, her hands trembling as she tried to put her nose back into place. “How-how are you?”

“I paid ten grand for this!” Tears stung her eyes, feeling blood drip down from her nose.

“What?” Kate asked back, her eyes burning through Hailey’s frame. “What a lousy nose job!”

Hailey appeared to be contemplating. Her whole persona changed from being exasperated to acting pitiful in a second. She fell to the floor and shifted her gaze to The Devil. Hailey said while sobbing,” Carlos, can’t you see what kind of woman Kate is? She is violent! Look what she did to me?”

“The only reason she punched you is because of what you have done to us, even from the past, Hailey! We have had enough,” Carlos declared. “Make a statement about the video and let the world know it was not me! Or else, I’ll sue you for damages, and you’ll have nothing left to feed your comfortable life, Hailey!”

“No!” She answered while getting up on her feet. Then she negotiated, “I will only talk about the video publicly if you stay with me for a week.” She whimpered, pinching her nose to stop the bleeding. “Please, stay with me, Carlos. I need you. Don’t you feel even an ounce of pity for me?”

“Are you out of your mind, Hailey? Carlos will do no such thing! He is mine!” Kate was about ready to slap Hailey and pull all the strands in her hair, but Carlos held her waist.

“Enough, Kate. Don’t dirty your hands any further,” Carlos said. He turned to Hailey and demanded, “You are going to do this, Hailey, or more problems will come your way!”

That was right. Hailey internally acknowledged this. She did not expect the Wrights to support Carlos and retaliate by calling them out. She was sure she would have difficulty getting a modeling job from

now on. Her father would also have fewer clients due to her actions. However, she was already in it too deep, and all she had left was the video. Hailey knew she needed to play her cards right.

Hailey did not plan to go public with the video at first, but after she received a report from a friend, she learned about Carlos and Kate modeling together. Another friend of hers belonged to the elites in Braeton City, and that same friend received an invitation for RonaldoPlus membership. Her friend sent her the photos of the new brand, ultimately giving the answers to her suspicion. What were the chances that they were already together? Knowing how Carlos loved Kate, she knew it was likely the case.

Listening to Carlos’ threats, Hailey laughed. She countered, “How? I did nothing wrong in the video, Carlos. I never said it was you! Everyone assumed it all. Haha! You can’t sue me for taking a video in one of my one-night stands in Paris.”

“But you said he is tired from all the tennis playing!” Kate countered.

“So? Anybody can play tennis!” Hailey opposed while her hands landed on her waist. “You don’t have anything on me against the video, and it will remain to cultivate doubt in Carlos’ reputation!”

Carlos and Kate were taken aback. They realize that Hailey was right.

“Why don’t we do this?” Hailey suggested. “If you cancel the business ban against my family and if you stay with me for one week, Carlos, then. I’ll tell the truth about the video and that it was never you in the first place.”

The couple could not believe the audacity of one Hailey Mckenzie. Kate had the urge to rip off her flesh, her blood boiling just staring at the woman. On the other hand, Carlos said, “We will not retract anything, and I am not staying with you. The simple sight of you repulses me! Besides, I doubt if you will ever do as you suggested. It’s not like you at all.”

Turning to Carlos, Kate softly asked, “What are we going to do?”

“Gabin will have to tell the truth for me,” Carlos said. “In any case, I have denied being that same person in the video.”

Hailey laughed again. She said, “You can deny it all you want, but people will still talk about it. Haven’t you seen it? Your ratings have gone down because people think you are lying!”

“It’s just a rating!” Carlos said back. “It won’t ruin my chances of winning my tournaments.”

He held Kate’s hand and suggested, “And it certainly won’t stop us from being together.”

Carlos’ gaze landed on the juice on top of the corner table. He said, “And you even dared to attempt to drug me again?”

Hailey’s eyes widened. Her head snapped toward the maid with a scorned expression. She directed her anger at the maid. “What did you tell them? How dare you? I did not do such a thing! It was just a supplement!”

The poor maid felt chills down her spine, but she stayed silent. Of course, it was old news in the house how Hailey was arrested for drug possession. She heard Hailey and her father argue about having attempted to drug Carlos. Having known Carlos in the past, the maid felt obligated to tell Carlos of Hailey’s plan. She found the supplement very suspicious.

“Really?” Kate reacted. She walked over to the juice pitcher and served Hailey a glass. She ordered,” Then! Drink this!”

“Drink it! You said it was nothing, but it was meant to do harm! Why won’t you drink this?”

“I will not drink it! Not without Carlos!” Haily shot back, pushing the glass away from her face, and Kate dropped it on the floor. The glass shattered into pieces.

“We will have the so-called supplement tested and, if proven, that it is an illegal drug,” Carlos said. “This time around, the judge won’t be so forgiving, Hailey. Not when is your second offense.”

Just as Carlos spoke, the police officers walked in. Carlos had called detective Baker earlier, right after the maid reported Hailey’s plans. They came, ready with testing kits.

Hailey watched in horror as the police analyzed the juice and collected the capsule from the maid. When she realized she was bound to get locked up again, she claimed, “Go ahead! I will just get another possession charge. Especially since no one was technically drugged. Haha!”

While Hailey was being arrested, the police reported the drug’s side effects. “This is an old date drug. It’s used to heighten up emotions. In the case of attraction, one gets overly captivated. In case of sorrow, one gets overly sentimental.” The police looked sideways at Hailey before revealing, “It is especially effective in fueling sexual urges.”

“Phew,” the police officer sighed and remarked, “It would have been a really wild night. Haha.”

Kate’s mouth fell to the floor. It horrified her at the thought of Hailey trying to get inside Carlos’ pants. Had the maid not reported Hailey’s intention, would Carlos have drunk the juice? If she were not around, would Hailey be able to trick Carlos into drinking the spiked beverage?

Of course, Kate knew her man was better than that, but the image of Hailey touching Carlos clouded her mind, and she was enraged! Kate said, “She – she – has a nut in the head!”

“Kate, calm down. Your entire body is turning red – your face, ears, and arms. You are burning in anger,” Carlos described while pulling Kate into his hold. “Relax.”

“Carlos?” Kate called, looking up at his face.

“Yes?” Carlos replied.

“You are mine, and no one is supposed to touch you the way I do,” she claimed.

A smile formed on Carlos’ athletic face. He answered, “Of course, my kate. Only you.”

“If you are going to have a wild night, it should be with me,” kate firmly said.

Carlos could not help but chuckle. He responded, “I have never known my Kate is a wild one, but regardless of a romantic or wild night, I’ll surely spend the rest of my nights with you… unless, of course, when I’m trave – Kate? Kate?”

“Kate! What did you do?!”

Kate took the juice pitcher and poured herself a glass. She swallowed down the juice with passion.

The police officer froze in his stance.

At the sight of his woman’s actions, Carlos gulped. He sucked in a breath, knowing he would have a wild night… for sure. He took out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number. “Oliver, instead of staying at the penthouse, book me the most private and most significant room at the W Hotel now! Arrange the bodyguard’s accommodation accordingly.

When Carlos returned his regard to Kate, she asked, “Do you want one too?”

Carlos cleared his throat and replied, “You are… wild enough for me, my Kate. Let’s go… and take care of that.”

“Sir, um. You have fifteen minutes before the symptoms manifest,” the police reported. “Maybe you should… take her to the hospital.”

Kate snapped at the police officer, throwing daggers with her eyes.

Seeing Kate’s menacing stare, the police officer took back his words, saying, “Or not… Natural cure is always the best.”
