The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 137

Michael's mind was in turmoil as he drove down to the Stone Mansion for dinner. The towering trees lining the route to the house provided no comfort as he replayed everything that had happened at Evelyn's. That was the only thought that had been in his head all day- Evelyn's betrayal. His grip tightened on the steering wheel as Evelyn's face popped into his mind once more. The bitch had been cheating on him?

The thought that she had cheated on him six years ago stung his pride, bruising his ego all over again. He couldn't believe that she dared to betray him like that and then act like he was the devil.

Did what they had mean nothing to her? He could understand his relationship with Sandra, but how could Evelyn cheat like their time together had meant nothing? Hadn't she loved him? Had she been messing with him? Worse, she had a daughter for the man she had cheated with. A child that could have been his. That thought sent a fresh wave of rage through him, but he pushed it down as the Stone Mansion came into view.

He had been pleasantly surprised when his uncle called him the previous day and asked him to come over for dinner because it had been a while since they last saw him, and he missed him.

But after what had transpired with Evelyn, his whole day was ruined, and he doubted that he could enjoy his meal. He knew he was a bit late, but he was sure they would understand after he told them what happened.

Pulling up to the mansion he saw Derek's car parked in the driveway as he got out of the car. Still fuming, he straightened his jacket as he made his way to the front door.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was greeted by the familiar warmth of the home. He was about to make his way to the dining room when he spotted Sandra, sitting on one of the grand sofas, chatting with his aunt. His stomach dropped. She had not told him anything about coming here for dinner, so what was she doing here? He did not seen her car parked outside either.

Seeing her now, his thoughts drifted back to what Evelyn had said earlier.

Evelyn's explanation made more sense to him than what Sandra had told him, and it explained why Sandra had asked that they not make a big deal out of the pictures that Evelyn took of them.

He couldn't believe that the bitch had been trying to set him up with Evelyn. Just what was Sandra up to? Did she want Derek for herself, and so she tried to discard him now that she thought she was about to achieve her goal? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became that the two women he had trusted had betrayed him.

"Michael, I was beginning to wonder if you wouldn't make it," Derek's Mom said with a smile when she saw him, gesturing for him to join them.
