Heiress's Haunted Heart Chapter 66
It was nearing midnight, and Ryan found himself captivated by the ethereal glow of the moon as it illuminated the night sky. Standing on the penthouse balcony of the hotel, he relished in the tranquility that surrounded him. Thoughts of Adrienne filled his mind, prompting him to reach for his phone and dial her number. "Hey there, beautiful. I didn't expect you to be awake at this hour," he greeted her. Adrienne chuckled. "You called me at such an odd time. I couldn't resist answering. Although, I must admit, I was fast asleep." Ryan's brow furrowed with concern. "Oh, I am sorry for waking you. Should we talk later, then?" She contemplated for a second, realizing they hadn't talked much throughout the week. "No, it's alright. We haven't had much time to talk recently. Let's chat. I can always catch up on my sleep tomorrow since it's Sunday." Relieved by her response, Ryan continued their conversation. "Okay, cool. By the way, I haven't saved this your new number yet." "Hmm,

***Three weeks later*** "Come on! Stop crying." "It's so emotional," she sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Daniel sighed, reaching out to pull her into a comforting hug. "And you are so dramatic," he said with a small smile, trying to lighten the mood. "I can't believe you are leaving me for your girlfriend," Adrienne continued to sob. "Hey, stop it," he said firmly, his tone showing hints of frustration. Adrienne's tears continued to fall. "But I understand. You have to live your own life," she managed to say through her sobs. "Adri, I am only quitting being your assistant, not quitting being your best friend and companion." "But you are still leaving me," Adrienne's voice wavered. Daniel let out an exasperated sigh, his patience wearing thin. "Ugh! Adrienne! Stop the sobbing," he said, his frustration evident. Just then, Adrienne's phone rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere. It was a call from Ryan. "Hi babe," Adrienne answered, her voice suddenly brightening

"Read it and sign it... you and Anabelle," Michael sternly said, pushing the file towards Ryan. Ryan reluctantly took it and began to flip through the pages. "Transfer of ownership? What?" Ryan exclaimed, his eyes widening with excitement. "Mom, is this for real?" Ryan turned to Evelyn with a hopeful expression. Evelyn smiled warmly, her eyes glistening with pride. "Yes dear, we are giving you and Anabelle full ownership of the hotel you've always wanted. It took me weeks to convince your dad, but here we are." "Oh my god. This is beyond perfect. Our wedding, our new baby, and now a new property. It's like a dream come true," Anabelle exclaimed, her voice saturated with happiness. "Thank you mom," Ryan expressed with gratitude, intentionally leaving out his dad. He was a bit irritated by Anabelle's overwhelming eagerness but he brushed it aside. "I'll review and sign it later," he said. Then, Anabelle's face twisted. "She said it took him weeks to agree to this, and you wa

"Have I ever told you about my dad?" Ryan asked Adrienne, gently patting her back as she lay against his chest. "No, you've never mentioned him before, and I've never asked," Adrienne replied, her tone filled with curiosity. "I'm sorry," Ryan chuckled, but the laughter quickly turned into pain as the memories of his recent beatings resurfaced, causing his face to ache. "Ow," he winced. "Sorry, dear. Would you like an ice pack? Maybe some ointment?" Adrienne offered, her worry evident in her voice. "Nah, I don't want you to move," Ryan replied, quickly dismissing her concerns. He cherished the way their bodies were entwined and the comforting rhythm of her heartbeat against his chest. He didn't want anything to disturb this moment. Contentedly, he sighed and planted a gentle kiss on her head. "Before all this luxury, my family and I were living as church rats. We were poor. The only time I truly felt alive was during my university years. Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to rec

"Good morning," Adrienne greeted as she found Ryan in his kitchen. "Hey," Ryan smiled, his eyes lighting up as he caught sight of her. "Someone's looking extra beautiful this morning." Adrienne blushed at the compliment. "Thanks. I could say the same about you. You look great in that apron." "Thank you," Ryan said, a hint of pride in his voice. "Nice summer dress you have there," he added. Grinning, Adrienne twirled around happily. "Of course it's nice. How did you even know my size?" Ryan chuckled, opening his arms up for a hug and Adrienne approached him for the embrace. "Hmm. Feels good," Ryan said as he inhaled her scent. "As for your size, I just guessed it. Honestly," Ryan confessed, still holding her tightly. Breaking away from the hug, Adrienne looked into his eyes. "Did you sleep well?" He asked her. "Of course. How about you? How's your body now? Has the pain reduced? And what are you making?" She asked him and Ryan nodded, a look of relief crossing his face.

"What? Why? Lisa just resumed work yesterday, and the next thing you are leaving the country already. What happened to 'I'll always be there for you'? Are you planning to be there for me while you're in another country?" Adrienne's voice was accusatory, her emotions getting the better of her. "Here she goes again. Dramatic. You're supposed to ask why I am leaving the country first. It's not like it's something I planned in advance," Daniel defended, a tinge of frustration edging into his voice. "Well, why are you leaving the country?" Adrienne crossed her arms defensively, her expression guarded. "It's Juliette. She went to Dubai last week. We were in contact with each other for two days after she arrived, but for five days now, I haven't been able to reach her," Daniel explained, genuine concern etched across his face. "Oh my god. I hope she's okay," Adrienne uttered, her accusation melting away in the face of genuine worry. "Now that's the Adrienne I like. The caring one, not th

"Uh... Adrienne, what are... what are you doing here?" he stammered, feeling a mix of surprise and panic. Adrienne hesitated when she noticed Anabelle standing beside Ryan. A sharp pain pierced her chest, though she couldn't understand why she felt that way. "I forgot my phone. I came to get it, it should be in the kitchen." "Nah, it's here with me. I was actually planning to swing by your office and drop it off," Ryan replied. Adrienne's smile faltered, an awkward expression taking its place. She tried to mask her disappointment. "Hi," Adrienne greeted Anabelle, her curiosity piqued, and she couldn't help but wonder who she was. Anabelle wanted to talk, but Ryan swiftly interrupted, his voice becoming stern. "Keep quiet. She didn't ask you anything." Adrienne felt a pang of frustration rise within her at Ryan's dismissive tone. She wanted to know who that woman was, but she couldn't risk appearing suspicious. "Let's go, dear," Ryan said cordially to Adrienne, trying to glos

"Dad, good morning," Ryan greeted, tentatively approaching his father. Michael sat regally behind the grandiose desk, engrossed in his phone and glanced up, his expression devoid of warmth. "Good morning? I can't remember the last time you greeted me. How's your face? Does it still hurt?" he asked, feigning concern. Ryan forced a smile, trying to hide his discomfort. "No, I'm okay," he lied, not wanting to give his father the satisfaction of seeing him in pain. "Dad, I need to talk to you about Rosa," Ryan began, his voice quivering slightly. He steeled himself, prepared to face whatever may come. Michael's eyebrow raised in curiosity. "And what about her?" Taking a deep breath, Ryan forged on. "Please, let her go. She has considered getting an abortion," he confessed. Michael burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout the room. "What's so funny?" Ryan asked, feeling hurt by his father's reaction. "You, son. You're quite the joker. Rosa getting an abortion? That'

"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
