Heiress's Haunted Heart Chapter 19
"Hey," Adrienne called out to Daniel, who was now downstairs. She was dressed in a black t-shirt and baggy trousers."I don't really know how to say this, but I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier," Adrienne said softly."Apologize for what? You didn't force me to do anything," Daniel replied."But I feel like I manipulated you into it, and I'm truly sorry," Adrienne apologized sincerely."I am so embarrassed right now," Daniel said, a hint of nervous laughter escaping his lips."No, I should be the one embarrassed. I don't know why I let my emotions get the better of me when I saw you sleeping on my bed," Adrienne confessed, her face flushing with embarrassment."I was also caught up in the moment when you started taking off your clothes," Daniel admitted, and they both chuckled, breaking the tension."I really appreciate your...uh, size. I love how it felt in my hands. Can I touch it again?" Adrienne asked hesitantly, her voice laced with desire."You're still feeling that

Adrienne's eyes widened in realization. "I suspected as much. I knew she was lying," she replied.Silence settled between them, the weight of understanding slowly dissolving any lingering tension. Adrienne stifled a yawn and stretched her hands, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling in."Are you planning to stay a bit longer or will you be leaving soon? I really need to get some sleep," Adrienne asked, her voice laced with weariness.Daniel smiled and shrugged, "I don't have any plans for the rest of the day, so I'll stick around. Don't worry about me, go and get some rest."A wave of relief washed over Adrienne's face. "Phew! Thank you so much. I'll catch up with you later," she said as she made her way up the stairs, her steps heavy with fatigue.Suddenly remembering something, Adrienne paused. She turned back to face Daniel. "Oh, Daniel, I almost forgot! There's something I wanted to ask you."Curiosity piqued, Daniel raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"Adrienne's gaze shifted to

"Men! Disgusting creatures! Will resort to any means to access the sacred temple between a woman's legs!" Adrienne spat, allowing herself to recall the disturbing clip of John violating her in her most vulnerable state. It was early on a Sunday morning, and her attempts at meditation had been fruitless. It was clear as day that she would be firing him without a second thought.Lost in her thoughts, Adrienne's tranquility was abruptly shattered by a phone call from Lucy."Hello," Adrienne answered with a sigh."Ma'am, I have some news. Daniel was arrested last night," Lucy informed her."What? Why? Where is he now? I'll go there immediately," Adrienne responded urgently."No, ma'am. He was actually arrested last night but released this morning. Your mother had him released. I was instructed not to inform you, as Daniel claimed you were asleep during his arrest," Lucy explained."Oh, but you should have still called me. What led to his arrest?" Adrienne inquired."He assaulted John, your

The weight of it all became too much, and Adrienne couldn't contain her frustration any longer. "Life!!!" she yelled into the air, a mixture of anger and sorrow escaping her lips.After about thirty minutes, when she was sure that John must have left, she wiped away her tears and composed herself. With newfound determination, she made her way back into the house, seeking solace in the familiarity of her room. It was time to regroup, to gather her strength, and to continue fighting for the life she deserved. Adrienne played soft, melancholic music as she sat cross-legged on the floor. The heaviness of her sadness hung thick in the air, tangible and palpable to anyone who entered the room. The mournful melody flowed from the speakers, diffusing through the space and tugging at the strings of her heart.With each passing note, the music coursed through Adrienne's veins, igniting a fire within her. Gradually, the slow rhythm stirred dormant emotions, coaxing her to respond. A small, tenta

"What do you mean by that?" Daniel asked, his voice tinged with concern.Adrienne took a deep breath before speaking, her eyes fixed upon him. "It's been almost three years, Daniel," she began, her words measured. "I can't help but feel like I've been using you, keeping you from pursuing your own dreams and aspirations. Your goals. I've realized how selfish I've been, and it's weighing heavily on my conscience. You've always been there for me, unwavering in your support, never taking a single day off or even going on vacation when you were due for it. I could've insisted that you take a break, but I was selfish. And you, you always declined, never showing any desire for time off. This has started to make me uncomfortable, and that's why I'm pleading with you now, begging you to allow me to let you go."Confusion etched across Daniel's face as he listened intently. "Did you ever force me to stay by your side?" he questioned, his voice gentle yet firm. "It's something I chose willing

Adrienne shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Okay, yeah, you've caught me. I actually own this restaurant," she confessed, her voice tinged with a mix of vulnerability and excitement."Oh really? That's incredible. When did you open?" Ryan asked with genuine enthusiasm."We opened about a month ago," Adrienne replied, a proud smile illuminating her face."That's impressive. But why did you decide to open a restaurant?" Ryan inquired, his eyes locked on Adrienne, eager for her response.Adrienne took a moment, savoring the opportunity to share her passion. "I love food, Ryan. I'm unabashedly a foodie. Throughout my life, I've always carried a genuine passion for both food and hospitality. Opening a restaurant has been one of my lifelong dreams. I wanted to create a space where people could come together and truly enjoy a unique dining experience. It's about creating cherished memories and bringing people closer through the joy of good food," she explained, her voice radiating with her

"You were out with Ryan last night?" Daniel asked Adrienne, his eyebrows raised in surprise."Yeah, why?" Adrienne asked, her tone defensive."Some people took pictures of you guys and now it's all over these tabloids. There's an article here that says 'Business Mogul spotted with cosmetic magnate enjoying what seemed like a romantic dinner getaway,' and another that says 'Beauty tycoons caught on a date, sparks dating rumors.' This paparazzi!" Daniel exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice."Caught? Were we hiding? Tch! They can say whatever they want, it's not like I care," Adrienne dismissed with a wave of her hand, trying to remain composed."Put that away. Have you picked a place you'll go for your one week's leave?" Adrienne asked Daniel, changing the subject."Um...my house?" Daniel hesitated."Your house? Seriously? It's your first break in months, even years, and you're spending it at home. Ah! You're such a weirdo," Adrienne teased, a playful smile on her face."And you'r

Ryan sat at his desk in his office, the chaos of his father's phone call still ringing in his ears. As always, his dad had launched into an unending rant, fueled by his disapproval over the recently published article. Ryan's heart sank at the thought of disappointing his father yet again. He couldn't believe that his dad's main issue was him spending time with Adrienne, a girl who wasn't his supposed fiancée, Annabelle. But that wasn't the only thing that bothered Ryan. His dad had also warned him against proceeding with the collaboration he had been eagerly pursuing, a collaboration that Ryan had no intention of giving up on.Determined to sort out his thoughts, Ryan quickly texted Juliette, asking her to meet him at his house once she finished her work for the day. He let her know he was leaving the office and stepped into his car, embarking on the drive home. The weight of the day's conversation pressed on his shoulders, intensifying his need for a moment of solace.Upon arriving at

"Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
