Heiress's Haunted Heart Chapter 41
Adrienne's phone buzzed loudly, jolting her from her thoughts. Lisa, sitting next to her, reached over and picked up the phone, glancing at the caller ID. "It's Daniel," Lisa said, holding the phone out to Adrienne. Adrienne sighed, her heart sinking at the sound of his name. She took a deep breath and forced herself to answer the call. "Hey, Daniel," she said, her voice lacking its usual warmth. "What is it?" "Hey, baby, how are you?" Daniel's voice crackled through the line, filled with concern. "Have you seen the news? Do you know what's up with them? Where did they get the idea of you getting pregnant from?" Adrienne felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, the weight of the situation pressing down on her already weary shoulders. "Daniel, I'm not feeling so fine," she said, her voice trembling. "Please handle things for this week, and you can call me on Saturday." Before he could respond, Adrienne abruptly hung up the phone, needing a moment to collect herself. She looke

Adrienne strolled leisurely around her garden. The air in her room had become unbearable after hours of confinement. "I can't believe he hasn't called since Saturday, and he promised to stay in touch often," Adrienne murmured to herself, frustration evident in her voice. After her hour-long walk, Adrienne meandered back to the main house, feeling refreshed by the outdoor breeze. As she stepped into her home, she caught sight of Daniel in the hallway. "Oh, hey! What are you doing here? I wanted to be alone for the rest of this week," she asked, a tinge of surprise in her voice. "Shh," Daniel hushed her, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. Before she could react, Daniel covered her eyes with his hands and guided her towards the living room. "Surprise!" he exclaimed, unveiling her eyes with a flourish. Adrienne scanned the living room, her disappointment not hidden by her sarcastic response. "Oh, wow, what a fantastic surprise," she remarked drily, struggling to find anythin

"Hey babydoll, it's been a while," he said to Adrienne. Adrienne locked eyes with Lucy, silently pleading for help, and the understanding look in Lucy's eyes told her to stay calm and act normally. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Adrienne turned to face him. "Yeah, it has been a while. What's up?" Adrienne asked, trying to sound casual. "I'm good. I just arrived in Nigeria yesterday and I told Daniel I was in town. I guess that's why he invited me today, but I can't stay for long though. How have you been?" Richard asked Adrienne. "I've been good, really great, thanks," she replied. "What's up with the rumors?" He asked. Suddenly, the atmosphere grew quiet, and all eyes were on them. "You know how it is. Everyone has haters. I guess it was just the work of one of mine. But it's no big deal," Adrienne explained, trying to brush off the rumors casually. Richard nodded, understanding her perspective. "Oh, cool..." "Yeah. Come, have a seat. Let me get you some food," Adrienn

Adrienne rushed over to the bench where Renee sat, looking distressed. Her heart twinged at the sight of Renee in tears. "Hey," Adrienne called softly, placing a comforting hand on Renee's shoulder. Renee's crying only seemed to intensify at the sound of her voice, and it worried Adrienne even more. Adrienne's heart sank as Renee's tears flowed uncontrollably. She rushed over and gently placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Hey," she called, trying to soothe Renee's distress. Renee glanced up, her tear-streaked face revealing her anguish. "Hey, what's wrong? What happened?" Adrienne inquired, concern etched across her face. Renee took a shaky breath, attempting to collect herself. "I was on a date earlier," she began, her voice choked with emotion. "Okay, stop crying for a moment, take a deep breath," Adrienne advised. Renee followed her friend's instructions, gradually managing to calm down. "Now, tell me, what happened? Did you guys break up? What did he say or do to you

"Daisy," she muttered, her voice barely audible. She stared at their dog for a few more seconds, her mind lost in thought. "Actually, Renee," Adrienne interjected, stopping Renee in her tracks. Renee turned to face her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "Yes?" "I think I'll come in for a drink. I am so thirsty right now," Adrienne fibbed, attempting to change the subject. Renee smiled, not catching on to Adrienne's little white lie. "Oh, really? That's great. Guess you'll just use this as an opportunity to meet my mom and dad, your potential future father-in-law and mother-in-law," Renee teased, nudging Adrienne playfully. With a sigh, Adrienne shook her head. "I told you I and your brother aren't dating. We are just friends, for real," she clarified, trying to set the record straight. As they walked into the house, a wave of nervousness washed over Renee, causing her to plead with Adrienne. "Please don't say anything about what happened this evening or I'll be grounded or even

Arriving and stepping into her house, Adrienne spotted Lucy waiting for her in the living room. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be on vacation? I thought you guys were flying out this evening?" Adrienne inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Yes, and I was trying to reach you before leaving. I called several times, but you didn't pick up and I got a bit worried," Lucy explained, concern etched on her face. "Something came up. Plus, I left my phone in the car on silent mode, so I didn't even notice it ringing. Besides, I'm not a baby, Lucy. I can take care of myself," Adrienne replied defensively. "I know that, but I was still worried. What came up, though?" Lucy questioned, her curiosity evident. "Just a minor issue. I've already sorted it out. By the way, you should get going now, right? You might still be able to make your flight," Adrienne suggested, glancing at her wristwatch. "Nah, the plane already took off. I had to book another flight for myself tomorrow morning. The ot

Lisa tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her heart pounding within her chest as she scanned the unfamiliar car in front of them. The driver's side door swung open, revealing a man in a sleek black suit and dark sunglasses. A wave of relief washed over Adrienne when she recognized the driver. Despite his stern expression, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. Adrienne rolled down her window, allowing the crisp air to fill the car. "Seriously? Were you trying to kill us?" she joked, a hint of playfulness in her voice. The man glanced at her, his gaze unwavering behind his shades. "Please step out of your car, ma'am," he instructed, his tone firm and authoritative. "What are you doing here?" she questioned, her voice laced with curiosity and a tinge of concern. He noticed Adrienne's disoriented state and spoke up, his eyes narrowing as he observed her. "Hey, where is your shoe?" he asked. Ignoring the question, Adrienne impulsively wrapped her arms around

"What feels good?" He inquired, genuinely intrigued. Adrienne turned her face towards the breeze, closing her eyes to savor the moment. "This. Everything about this feels so good," she confessed, her voice carrying a sense of utter happiness. Raising his glass, Ryan toasted to the magic of the moment. "Cheers," he said, clinking their glasses together once again. "Congratulations on your recent project, by the way. It's a huge accomplishment," Ryan praised, genuinely admiring Adrienne's dedication and philanthropy. "Oh, that. Thank you," she replied humbly. "I truly admire your charitable nature. You've done so much for society," Ryan continued his words of admiration. Adrienne waved off his praise, downplaying her impact. "Come on. I haven't done that much, you know that," she modestly replied. "Oh, but you have. There must be a special reason why charity holds such a special place in your heart." Adrienne contemplated for a moment before responding. "There's not reall

"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
