Daniela walked back and forth in the house,her mind filled with confusion , frustration and fear. Life had been throwing stones at her, leaving her feeling she was trapped in a cage. Just when she thought he had changed a bit,He will do something that will make her angry. Deep down,she knew something was wrong somewhere. There was too much about their past, their present , and his intentions that didn't add up. For a while now,She had suspected that her involvement in his life wasn't accidental. What started as her just being just a fling had turned into something much bigger.

Her phone rang suddenly , cutting through the tension in the room. She looked at her screen and saw Alexander's name. She was amused to see his name. She frowned her face in anger. “ What is he calling her for?Didn't he just go to the office not quite long?” She swiped the screen, bringing the phone to her ear.

“ I wasn't expecting you to call”, She said, her voice in low tones

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter11: A mother's final wish

    Chapter 11.A mother's final wish.The ring of Daniela's phone shattered the quiet of her small apartment. She frowned, wiping her hands on a towel as she moved to pick it up. It was an unfamiliar number, and for a moment, She ignored it at first. But her instincts made her pick the call. “ Hello?”“ Miss Daniela?” a strained, unfamiliar voice on the other end said. “ This is nurse Williams from St. Mary's hospital. Your mother has been admitted . It's very serious. Rush here now and make your way here”. The towel dropped from Daniela's hands . “ What? What happened to her? Is she okay?” The nurse screamed her voice. “ She collapsed earlier this afternoon. The doctors were running tests, but her condition appears critical. You should come as early as possible”. Daniela became so frightened at what the nurse told her. Her heart raced and her heart kept on beating as fast as possible . Her mother,the one constant in her life, couldn't be facing something like this

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 12: Shadows of goodbye

    Chapter 12.Shadows of goodbye.The day of the funeral came to a close and it was a rainy day. It was as if the heavens themselves mourned the loss of Daniela's mother. The rain began to fall heavily as mourners gathered at the small church on the outskirts of town. Daniela sat in the front row, her hands holding tightly around a tissue. Her eyes were swollen and red from days of crying, but no tears fell now the day of the burial. She felt emotionally drained within her, as though her grief had hollowed her out and left her with nothing but the ache in her chest. Alexander sat beside her,his expression a mixture of fake sympathy . He hadn't said much since her mother's death, but his presence dominated, a shield that both steadied and suffocated her. She didn't see him as someone she could lean unto and tell her problems because he was extremely angry with her.The priest's voice was heard through the church, calm and steady, as he delivered the eulogy to mour

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 13: A new revelation

    The days after the funeral clouded together for Daniela, a mixture of grief and confusion . Her father's words kept ringing in her brain." You're no longer my daughter " She sat alone in the mansion, staring at the rain falling in the windows. The house felt colder, and emptier than ever. Alexander had been absent for most of the day, busy with meetings he refused to discuss . Daniela felt like a prisoner, not just of the house but of her own mind. Not long after, A maid appeared holding a small envelope. " This just arrived, ma. And it is stated urgent. Daniela collected the envelope from the maid and waited for the maid to go.The air in Alexander’s study was oppressive, thick with the scent of aged leather and polished wood. Daniela sat in the chair behind his desk, her gaze focused on the envelope that laid before her.Her mind screamed at her to leave it unopened, to put it into a drawer and pretend it didn’t exist. But curiosity couldn't make her do that

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 14. Lies in the dark.

    Daniela's world was beginning to crumble, and she could feel it every hour. At first it started with Mysterious emails, late payments from clients and investors in her company pulling out at the last minute. For someone who is very sensitive , it didn't take her long to observe that something was wrong in her office. Apart from all this happening, her business that she single handedly built when she left Alexander waa under attack.The first real sign that made her believe something was wrong came early one morning,when Daniela arrived at her office,as she always did before anyone else. As she walked down the hallway,her sharp eyes caught a shadow moving through the glass of her office door. Clara,her virtual assistant, was at her desk, but something about her posture seemed off- too tense and too rigid. Daniela’s instinct kept on telling her something was wrong somewhere.Pushing the door open quietly, She greeted Clara, her tone formal and observant.“ Good

    Chapter 15The enemy within. Daniela sat in her office,her mind thinking with thoughts of betrayals and vengeance. Clara's confession cut deep into her, she was not expecting that from her. She pressed the intercom on her desk . “Samuel,come to my office. Now”.Moments later,Samuel entered, his face tense with concern. He was one of the most trusted executives, and now more than ever , She needed his loyalty. “ Samuel we have a serious problem” Daniela began her voice steady but filled with determination. “I just found out that Clara is part of the people sabotaging us. And she's not working alone. Richard is behind this too”. Samuel's reaction changed. “ Richard? I should have known. That man has been circling like a vulture ever since your company started making it”. Daniela nodded. “It's worse than I thought. He's not just after the company,he's after me. I don't know how I offended him. He just doesn't like me at all and does not want

    Chapter 16The silent hunt.The office was so quiet as Daniela leaned against the edge of her desk, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. The warmth of the city felt cold compared to the storm raging within her. She hadn't slept all night . Instead, she spent hours searching over the files, piecing together the evidence Samuel had provided. Every detail, now showed the undeniable truth. Richard wasn't just trying to Sabotage her. He was planning a terrible plan to strip her of everything she had ever acquired or achieved. And what made it worse? He wasn't doing it alone.As she was in deep thoughts, her focus shifted to the woman sitting outside her office, Clara. The once trusted assistant now felt like a stranger. Daniela had spent years building an empire, brought by loyalty and hard work, and Clara's betrayal stung deeply. But Daniela had no time to dwell on emotions. Richard's plan was much bigger than one's assistant’s disloyalty and if Clara

    Daniela sat at the desk, staring at the computer screen as everything that was happening began to dawn on her. Her office felt colder than usual, the weight of the previous night pressing heavily on her shoulders. The glow of the lamp in her office accentuated the lines of Fatigue etched across her face. She had stayed there all night,working through the disturbing revelations Samuel had brought to her attention. Her mind was filled with couples of thought. It wasn't just about Richard's manipulation anymore. It is the fact that, once again, her family was at the centre of someone's cruel manipulation. As if Alexander's betrayal years ago hadn't been enough. The memories of how her husband had destroyed her family came to her notice. Why did she even accept Alexander back after the way he ruined her family to pieces? Now his younger brother is causing pain to her? She had forgiven Alexander deep down in her mind but some wounds never truly heal. Now,

    The atmosphere in Lawson Enterprises shifted the moment Daniela walked through the doors the next morning. It was very early, too early for most employees to be in the building, but her day had started long before dawn. Her mind was a storm of thoughts, each one swirling faster than the last. She tightened her hand on her leather briefcase, her mind flashing through a couple of things. The black envelope and it's warning. “ You're too late Daniela. Watch your back”. Kept playing in her mind. It wasn't just a threat. It was telling her that she needed to be alert. Daniela stepped into her office and immediately scanned the room. Everything looked normal, yet the air felt heavier.She moved to her desk and sat down, her fingers playing around the table as she was lost in thoughts. Her jaw tightened as she tossed it aside. There was no time to dwell on the threat, She needed answers. Whoever had sent this wasn't just taunting her, they were making it obvious that some

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 118: The power of betrayal

    Gabriel sat in the dimly lit living room, staring blankly at the wall. The silence of the house was suffocating, pressing against his chest like a heavy weight. The absence of Daniela felt like a gaping hole in his life, one that he never imagined would exist.Just days ago, this house was filled with warmth, laughter, and the familiar presence of the woman he loved. Now, it was just an empty space—lifeless, cold, and unbearably quiet.He let out a long, shaky breath as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. His eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, flickered toward the half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table. He had never been much of a drinker, but tonight, the burn of alcohol seemed like the only thing keeping him grounded."Why, Daniela?" he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. "Why did you do this to me?"The pain in his chest tightened as memories of her flooded his mind. The way she used to smile at him, the way she would rest her head on his shoulder after a long da

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 117:The coronation of the new king and queen

    The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the vast, fertile lands of the village as Alexander’s convoy approached. The air buzzed with excitement, and the entire community had gathered in anticipation of the arrival of their new king and queen.Alexander sat in the back of his luxurious black car,his fingers joined together as he stared out of the window. Beside him, Daniela sat quietly, her expression unreadable. She was dressed in a flowing royal blue gown, adorned with intricate golden embroidery that shimmered in the fading sunlight.She had not spoken much since they left the city. Alexander had noticed the distant look in her eyes, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was that she was here with him, and soon, she would be crowned as his queen.The journey had been long, winding through dusty roads and dense forests, but finally, they reached the grand palace at the heart of the village. The palace, though ancient, stood with an air of majesty—its walls adorned w

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 116:Gabriel's heartbreak

    Gabriel stood frozen, his entire world crashing down around him. The wrumpled note in his trembling hands felt heavier than it should, as if it carried the weight of all the emotions swirling inside him. His chest tightened, his breathing uneven as the words replayed in his mind. I’m sorry. I don’t expect you to understand, but I have to go. Please don’t look for me.His throat left him and before he knew it, hot tears welled up in his eyes. His hands trembled as he wiped his face, but the tears kept coming. He let out a sharp breath, gripping the edge of the dining table for support.Why?Why would Daniela suddenly leave him like this? After everything they had been through, after everything he had done for her?He staggered backward, dragging a hand through his hair in frustration. His mind reeled with unanswered questions. This wasn’t just a simple breakup—it didn’t make sense. Daniela had given no signs of being unhappy. She had never complained. If anything, she had seemed happy

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 115:Gabriel wakes up to an empty bed

    Gabriel stirred in his sleep, shifting slightly as he reached out for Daniela, expecting to feel the warmth of her body beside him. His fingers touched nothing but cold sheets. His brows furrowed as his eyes flickered open. The dim glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the empty space beside him.“Daniela?” he called groggily, his voice thick with sleep. No response.His heart pounded slightly as he sat up, running a hand through his messy hair. He reached for his phone on the nightstand and checked the time—2:37 AM. A strange sense of unease crept up his spine.Maybe she had gone to the bathroom? He swung his legs off the bed, planting his feet on the cold tiles before standing up. He walked toward the bathroom door and knocked lightly.“Dani?”Silence.His chest tightened as he pushed the door open, only to find the bathroom empty. He frowned, stepping out into the dimly lit bedroom. His eyes darted around, his mind struggling to stay rational.“She must be in the kitchen,” he murmur

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 114: The midnight escape

    The city was wrapped in silence, the streets nearly empty except for the occasional flicker of headlights cutting through the night. The digital clock on the bedside table blinked 2:13 AM in bold red numbers, casting a faint glow in the dimly lit bedroom.Gabriel lay beside her, deep in sleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. The rhythmic sound of his breathing should have been comforting—it always had been. But tonight, it suffocated her.Daniela sat up slowly, careful not to make a sound.Her mind was a tangled mess.She didn’t understand what was happening to her. A few hours ago, she had been living her normal life—working, loving Gabriel, planning for their future. But now, all she could think about was Alexander.His voice.His face.His presence.It was like an invisible thread was pulling her toward him, tightening around her chest, making it impossible to breathe unless she was closer to him.Her heart ached for him.And she had no idea why.Shaking off the confusion, s

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 113: The unseen changes

    The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting soft golden hues through the curtains of Daniela’s cozy apartment. The room was quiet, except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional chirping of birds outside. It was her day off from work, and she had planned to rest, maybe even do some cleaning, but she hadn’t expected a visitor.And certainly not him.Alexander stood at her doorstep, his usual confident smile in place, holding a neatly arranged gift bag. Daniela's brows furrowed in mild surprise. She hadn’t seen or spoken to him in weeks. She had moved on—at least, she thought she had.Still, curiosity got the better of her."What are you doing here?" she asked, crossing her arms.Alexander let out a small chuckle, his deep voice smooth. "Relax, Daniela. I just wanted to check on you. No pressure, no trouble. Just... an old friend bringing a gift."Her eyes flickered down to the bag in his hand.She hesitated.She knew Alexander too well. He was never one to do things wit

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 112: The plan in motion

    Alexander sat in his lavishly furnished bedroom, the golden chandelier above casting a dim glow over the space. The air was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and faint traces of burning incense—remnants of the chief priest’s visit from the previous day.On the polished mahogany table in front of him lay a small, dark vial.He picked it up, rolling it between his fingers. The chief priest had promised him that this would change everything. One drop of the sacred potion, and Daniela would no longer resist him. She would no longer see Gabriel. She would no longer refuse his love."Daniela, you will be mine again. You don’t have a choice."The thought sent a wicked thrill through him.He leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. He had spent the entire night thinking about how things had spiraled out of his control.When he and Daniela were together, he had never once thought she would leave him. He had been confident—too confident—tha

  • The Billionaire's unseen heir    Chapter 111: A gift

    The morning sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows of Alexander’s penthouse, casting long shadows across the floor. He had barely slept, his thoughts consumed by the memory of Daniela—her laughter, her sharp tongue, the way her eyes once softened when she looked at him. But that was in the past. Now, she was engaged to another man, willingly giving herself to someone who wasn’t him.That knowledge burned through his veins.No matter what, she would be his.A sharp knock on the door jolted him from his thoughts. He straightened, already knowing who it was. He strode toward the door, his heart pounding with anticipation, and pulled it open.Chief Priest Okanga stood before him, draped in a flowing red robe embroidered with ancient symbols. His presence was as commanding as ever, his dark eyes holding the wisdom of generations past. Around his neck, cowries and beads rattled softly as he stepped inside.“You summoned me, my prince,” Okanga said in his deep, measured voice.Alex

    The night was heavy with silence, broken only by the rhythmic ticking of the antique clock in Alexander’s dimly lit bedroom. He sat at the edge of his king-sized bed, gripping his phone tightly in his hand. The soft glow of the screen illuminated his face, revealing the storm brewing in his dark eyes. His mind was restless, tormented by the memories of Daniela—her smile, her laughter, the way she used to look at him with trust in her eyes.But now, all of that was gone.She had moved on. With another man.His jaw clenched as he thought about Gabriel. The name alone sent a wave of anger through him. How dare he? How dare Gabriel take what was his? Daniela belonged to him. It had always been him and Daniela—until she walked away.He let out a slow, ragged breath, scrolling through his messages. The last one he had sent her had gone unanswered. His previous calls had been ignored. And earlier that day, when he had gone to see her, she had shut the door in his face without a second though
