The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 17: Shadows of the past
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

Morning came and Daniela was sceptical about Clara setting trap for Richard. She thought to herself. “ Someone who could betray me like that will do worse . I have to sack her”. Also, when she told her best Friend Anita about what she did. She was also advised to sack her from work. “ She's dangerous Daniela, that kind of person can kill you if care is not taken”. “ You've already seen enough to know that Clara has cunning behaviour. Why would you waste time investigating further? That's exactly what Richard would want trying to find words from your mouth”. Daniela had listened to her quietly, the weight of her words settling over her like a heavy cloak. As she waited for Clara to arrive, Daniela couldn't allow her into her life anymore because of the betrayal. Clara had been more than an employee, She had been a friend to Daniela. But the evidence was undeniable:the missed deadline,the suspicious meetings,the leaks and so on. Clara had been

The effects of Clara's dismissal were fast and immediate. Daniela's office seemed to be the talk of the town as she heard everyone gossiping about how Clara was sacked and that. For Daniela,the day had gone in a twinkle of an eye, which always anticipated Richard's next move. Daniela sat at her desk, Scanning through the reports from her team when the sound of footsteps echoed outside her office. The person opened the door without a knock,and one of her workers Praise entered, her Sharp feet clicking the floor. In her hand was a tablet, gripped so tightly her knuckles were white. “ Have you seen this?” praise asked, her voice sensing a feeling of anger. She rolled the tablet onto Daniela's desk. Daniela was shocked at what she saw as she picked it up. The screen displayed an article from a prominent business news outlet, it's headline Written in bold lines . “ Leaked internal Memo suggests instability at enterprises”. Below the headline was a leaked memo

The house felt unusually quiet that morning. As Daniela paced in the living room, Restless in Alexander's absence. He had left for Abuja at dawn, leaving her with an unsettled loneliness she couldn't quite shake. She had busied herself with little tasks, holding the pillows, rearranging the vase of Fresh lilies Alexander had sent her last week. The stillness of the mansion only amplified her worries,though She couldn't say Why.A loud knock echoed through the hall, scaring her.Frowning, Daniela peeped at the clock.It was too early for Visitors, and the maid was upstairs attending to the clothes in the washing machine. She hesitated before walking to the door, her hand hanging over the handle. When she opened it,a tall striking woman stood outside. She was dark in complexion and had black hair and she had beautiful lips. The air around her seemed to buzz around with the smell of perfume over her. She held a designer bag in one hand, her other restin

The afternoon sun was shining very deep, spilling light through the large windows of the living room. Despite, the soft warm glow shining around the room, Daniela felt cold. She stood by the remnants of the shattered bowl on the floor. Each piece seemed like a sharp reminder of the doubts moving around her chests. Christiana’s word replayed in her mind like a music she couldn't escape. “Alexander belongs to a world you will never understand”, She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as though the sting could drown out the voice in her head. No matter how much She told herself that Christian's visit had been nothing more than an attempt to provoke her, the seeds of Doubt had been sown.“ Why did she even come here?” Daniela said to herself, her voice filled with Frustration. “ What does she want?”Her knees were shaking as she bent down,her hands trembling as she reached for the broken pieces of the bowl.She hated how easily the wo

The sun was shining very deep,leaving the house filled with a lot of dust. Daniela stood in the kitchen turning a cup of tea. The soft clinking of the spoon against the cup was the oñly sound in the silent house. Yet,there was a weight in the air , an unshakeable feeling that she wasn't alone. She set the spoon down and reached for the mug, but her hands were trembling. Taking a deep breath,She reminded herself that she was being ridiculous. Alexander had warned her about letting the empty house get to her when he wasn't around. He had offered to leave a few of the staff behind during his business trip, but she had declined. She wanted to prove that she could handle things on her own.But now,as shadows danced across the walls and the faint creak of the floorboards reached her ears, She wasn't so sure. A soft knock on the front door made her freeze. Her heart pounded in her chest, her grip on the mug tightening until her knuckles turned white. She glanced at

The early morning light brightened through the large windows of the mansion, casting long shadows on the wall. Daniela lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling . The silence of the house only made her mind race more. Something had been off with Alexander for weeks, but she couldn't actually figure out what it was.That morning, he had left the house early kissing her forehead briefly before walking out of the door.it wasn't unusual for him to have a packed schedule and also like the kiss felt like he didn't love her anymore. Apart from that, the way he had been giving attitude anytime he comes back from work showed that something was wrong somewhere. When it was close to afternoon, When it was close to afternoon, The grand halls,the marble floors and the Luxurious furniture that once felt comforting now seemed to close in on her. Daniela wandered aimlessly through the rooms, trying to distract herself. She arranged books,checked her emails and even tried to

The Billionaire's unseen heir : The final chapter
The palace was quiet—too quiet. Even the birds that usually fluttered outside the grand windows of the king’s chamber were absent, as if nature itself mourned the weariness of the man within.Alexander sat on the edge of his bed, the heavy robe of royalty pooling around him like a shroud. The golden crown, once proudly perched upon his head, now lay abandoned on the floor, its polished surface reflecting nothing but a broken legacy.He had sent the servants away hours ago, requesting solitude. But truth be told, he had been alone for far longer than that—ever since Daniela left, ever since the boy vanished. Ever since he traded his humanity for power.The voices from the past echoed relentlessly in his mind."You want her to be queen? There is a way…""Put this powder in her drink. It will cloud her mind and draw her to you.""Rub this oil on your palms before you touch her—she will not resist.""You must act fast. The elders are watching. You need an heir."At the time, it all seemed
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 143: The kings silent battle
The palace was quieter these days—too quiet for a man who once ruled with noise, power, and pride. Alexander sat by his window, fingers toying with a half-filled goblet of wine. Outside, the moonlight brushed the edges of the thatched palace roof, casting ghostly shadows on the walls. Chisom had long drifted to sleep, her breathing soft, steady. But Alexander was wide awake—again.It had been six moons since she was brought to him, her skin soft as silk, her smile gentle, her body yielding. Each night, she came to his bed, and each night, he held hope in his loins and in his heart. But morning always came with the same bitter emptiness. No signs. No whispers of cravings. No swelling belly. No child.He had tried everything—spiced roots, fertility herbs from the palace medicine woman, and even late-night rituals performed by the native priest. Still… nothing.Alexander rose from the bed, pacing the cold marble floor with heavy feet. A fire burned in the hearth, but it did little to tha
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 142: A home built with love
The morning sun filtered through the bright white curtains of their new apartment, casting golden rays across the hardwood floor. Lydia stirred beneath the duvet, her hand instinctively reaching out to the other side of the bed.Empty.She blinked, sat up, and glanced around. The soft scent of brewed coffee and toasted bread teased her nose. A smile curled on her lips.He’s in the kitchen again.Throwing on a light robe, she padded down the hallway and into the warm, open space where Gabriel stood shirtless, wearing joggers and flipping pancakes with an exaggerated chef’s flair.“You’re going to burn them,” Lydia teased, leaning against the doorframe.Gabriel turned, spatula in hand, and grinned. “And good morning to my beautiful wife.”She walked up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. “Good morning, chef husband.”He kissed the top of her head, then plated a stack of fluffy pancakes. “I thought we could eat on the balcony today. The sun’s not too harsh yet.”They

The early morning sun filtered through the intricate lattice windows of the palace, casting golden shapes across the polished floors. Drums beat faintly in the distance, signaling the dawn of a new day—and a new queen.Chisom sat quietly on the edge of a carved mahogany bed, her feet barely touching the polished ground. Around her, the royal maids fluttered like bees, tying her hair into delicate loops, rubbing her arms with perfumed oil, and whispering instructions she barely absorbed.“Your new robe, my queen,” one of the maids said, presenting a cloth woven with silver threads and royal blue patterns. “You must wear it before you greet the king.”Chisom nodded faintly, still unsure how to wear the title of "queen" in her heart. The palace air was thick—not just with incense, but with the weight of expectation. She could feel it in the walls, in the eyes of the elders who measured her with unspoken judgment, and in the stiff bow of the guards who had served another before her.As sh

The palace air brimmed with anticipation, thick like a brewing storm. Inside the grand hall, the scent of burning incense drifted from gold-plated bowls, curling in the air like whispers from the ancestors. Soft drums echoed in the background, played by two palace boys, steady and ceremonial. The marble floors had been scrubbed to glass-like shine, reflecting the rows of candles burning along the corridor.Alexander sat on the throne, robed in deep crimson, his royal crown resting heavy on his head. His face was unreadable—a mask of calm, yet behind his eyes, something stirred. Pain. Memory. Resignation. This was not how he envisioned choosing a queen.Beside him, a guard stood silently, holding a scroll with the names of the maidens. The chamberlain motioned, and the doors opened.One by one, the virgins began to enter.The first maiden, Awele, stepped forward with her head lowered, her feet bare, anklets chiming with each timid step. She was beautiful—smooth dark skin, full lips, an
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 139: The search for a new queen
The sky above the palace bled into a melancholic gray, the sun hiding behind thick clouds as though mourning with the king. The royal garden, once Daniela’s favorite place, stood untended. Wildflowers grew in stubborn defiance through cracks in the once manicured paths. The scent of blooming hibiscus clashed with the scent of time—that old, dusty silence that lingered in places where laughter had died.King Alexander stood still on the palace balcony, arms crossed behind his back, cloaked in heavy velvet. He wasn't the same man he was two years ago. The weight of loss had carved lines into his once-youthful face. His shoulders drooped beneath invisible burdens. Power still clothed him, yes, but it no longer fitted him like pride—it clung to him like grief.His eyes scanned the horizon—the same trail Daniela had once fled down with the child. The same trail the guards had failed to watch. His jaw clenched at the memory.Every now and then, he imagined seeing her figure walking back, ch
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 138: The engagement and the wedding
The evening of the engagement party felt like a dream to Lydia. The grand ballroom was bathed in warm, golden light. Crystal chandeliers hung high above, their glimmering reflections dancing across the polished marble floor. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, depicting stories of love, fortune, and legacy. Every corner of the room was carefully designed to evoke luxury, but it was the people who made it truly come alive.Guests murmured and laughed in soft clusters, champagne glasses clinking as they raised their toasts to Gabriel and Lydia. They had all come from different walks of life—wealthy socialites, business moguls, close friends of the family. But tonight, there was one thing that united them all: the promise of the future, the joining of two lives. Gabriel stood at the center of it all, a striking figure in a tailored suit, his posture confident but warm as he greeted guests. He was the picture of a man who had everything under control. But as his eyes scanned
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 137: Whispers of forever
The soft light of the morning sun was seen through the blinds, spilling its warmth over the living room of Gabriel’s apartment. Lydia sat on the sofa, her bare feet tucked under her as she scrolled through a wedding magazine, lost in thought. The room was filled with the rich scent of freshly brewed coffee, and the faint hum of the city outside only added to the quiet peace of the moment.Gabriel had just stepped out of the shower, a towel draped low on his hips, his hair still damp. He smiled as he saw her lost in the magazine, the occasional flutter of the page drawing her attention. It was one of those simple, perfect moments that made him feel like everything he’d ever wanted was right here.“You look like you’re plotting world domination,” Gabriel teased, stepping into the kitchen, his voice a warm caress.Lydia glanced up from the pages, offering him a playful scowl. “I’m plotting the perfect wedding, thank you very much. There’s a difference.”“Ah, my mistake,” he grinned, lean
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 136:The price of the spirit
Dark clouds thickened above the palace like a warning, casting long shadows that crept along the courtyard stones. A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the occasional rustle of dry wind against the banana trees that lined the palace fence.Alexander stood stiffly near the throne room window, eyes fixed on the sky. When the priest finally arrived, the guards ushered him in with reverence. The old man’s steps were slow, but his presence demanded respect. His hair, thick and snowy white, spilled down to his shoulders like ancestral feathers. His robe, dyed deep maroon with sacred herbs, carried the scent of ancient incense.He bowed slightly, then looked up. His eyes—milky but sharp—settled on Alexander’s face. “You sent for me, Your Highness?”Alexander gestured toward a mat. “Sit. There is trouble in the land.”The priest slowly lowered himself, folding his legs under him. “I know,” he said softly, voice like wind brushing through dried leaves. “The spirits whispered last ni
