The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter18: Different patterns .
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 bedroom was filled in silence, broken only by the faint sound of the air conditioning. Daniela sat on the edge of the bed, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as though she could hold her fractured emotions together. Her mind was filled with Alexander’s earlier confession, but despite his assurances, she couldn’t quiet the nagging voice in her head—the one whispering that she didn’t know him as well as she thought.Her gaze flashed to Alexander’s briefcase, carelessly left by the desk. It was unusual for him to be so disorganized; Alexander was meticulous, almost obsessive about his work. The slight bulge of the manila envelope peeking out from the side caught her attention.For a long moment, she debated with herself. Should I? she thought, her fingers filled with hesitation. She hated the idea of snooping—it felt like a betrayal of trust. But hadn’t he betrayed hers first by keeping secrets?The question was enough to push her over the edge. Slowly, she rose from the b

She had not been replying to his messages for a while due to the fact that she was scared that he might do something worst than that.And it was his fault.For years, he had tried to erase his past.

The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 80: Confession and confrontation
Daniela sat on her couch, holding her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.Desmond’s words refused to leave her mind."Ask Gabriel what happened five years ago."Her stomach turned her.Gabriel had been her safe space. The one man who had given her hope again. But now?Her heart was filled with doubt. A slow, suffocating poison.Her instincts screamed at her to walk away,to bury the past and never dig it up again.But she couldn’t.She needed answers.Without thinking twice, she grabbed her bag and stormed out of her apartment.Gabriel opened his apartment door, his usual warm smile in place.But the moment he saw her face, the smile erased.“Daniela?” His brows tiled. “What’s wrong?”She pushed past him, stepping into the apartment.“We need to talk,” she said, her voice like steel.Gabriel closed the door behind them, his eyes filled with concern. “Talk about what?”She turned sharply, meeting his gaze.“Desmond.”Gabriel’s entire body stiffened. “What about him?”
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 79: A shocking message
Daniela sat in silence, staring at Gabriel.The man she had trusted. The man she had started falling for.And yet, his brother,Desmond was the reason her sister had suffered.The arguments between them was thick with tension.Gabriel reached for her hand, but she pulled away."Daniela," he whispered, his voice pained. "I swear, I had no idea. Desmond… he’s always been reckless, but I never knew he—"She stood up as fast as possible. "I need to think, Gabriel."His expression darkened, but he nodded. "I understand."But deep down, she didn’t know if she could ever look at him the same way again.That night, Daniela couldn’t sleep.Her mind kept replaying everything—her sister’s tears, Desmond’s name, and Gabriel’s face when she told him the truth.Her phone rang suddenly, removing her away from her thoughts.Unknown Number.She hesitated before answering."Hello?"There was silence for a while.Then, a deep, unfamiliar voice."Stay away from Gabriel if you value your life."Her

Gabriel wasn’t just kind with his words—he took action.One evening, as they sat in a quiet restaurant, he took her hand and looked into her eyes."I know you love working at the company," he started, "but I think you deserve more, Daniela. You’re smart, hardworking, and capable of much bigger things."She blinked at him, slightly taken aback. "Gabriel, what are you talking about?"He slid a neatly folded envelope toward her."A job offer," he said simply.Her heart pounded as she hesitantly unfolded the paper.It was from a well-respected company—a high-paying position as an administrative officer.She was filled with joy deep inside her. "How did you—?"Gabriel smiled. "I have connections. But you earned this, Daniela. I just pointed them in the right direction."Tears was filled in her eyes.She had struggled for so long, fought so many battles alone. And now, here was a man who wasn’t just promising her the world—he was actually helping her build a future."Gabriel, I—" She did
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter77: A slow burn
Days turned into weeks, and before Daniela even realized it, Gabriel had become a constant presence in her life, reassuring her and making her feel loved.At first, she had been hesitant to let him in. She had been burned before—used, abandoned, discarded like she was nothing.But Gabriel was different.He didn’t push. He didn’t demand too much.He was just… there.Every morning, she woke up to a text from him:"Good morning, beautiful. Have a great day."At night, another message:"Hope you ate today. Don’t overwork yourself."It was strange. No man had ever cared about the little things.And then there was the money.She never asked, but he sent it anyway. A small alert on her phone would pop up, and when she checked, there it was—a transfer from Gabriel."Just something to make things easier for you."****"Get something nice for yourself, Dani."He was everything she had ever wanted in a man. But more than the money, it was the fact that someone actually cared.Kind. Generous. Thoug
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter 76: The morning after.
The first thing Daniela felt was something pounding in her head.The second was the unfamiliar warmth of soft sheets beneath her.Sunlight streamed through the curtains, a golden feeling settling over the modest guesthouse room. The air was quiet except for the tap water that was running speedily. Daniela stirred, groaning slightly as she pushed herself up on the bed.For a moment, she forgot where she was.Then, it all came back—the club, the music, the drinks, and… Gabriel.Her eyes filled across the room, landing on his dark suit jacket draped over the chair. That single sight made her heart skip. He was still here.As if on cue, the bathroom door opened, and Gabriel stepped out, steam curling around him. A towel hung loosely around his neck, his shirt unbuttoned at the collar, exposing just a hint of his toned chest. His hair was damp, slightly tousled, as if he had run his fingers through it.“Morning,” he greeted, his deep voice carrying an unmistakable smoothness.Daniela ru
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter75: A tempting night
Gabriel leaned back, his whiskey glass resting against his knee as he studied Daniela. The way she carried herself intrigued him, so he wanted to know more about her. He had met many women in clubs before—some looking for excitement, some chasing wealth, others simply bored. But Daniela? She wasn’t any of those.She was drowning.And she didn’t even realize it.“You don’t strike me as someone who usually drinks alone,” Gabriel finally said, breaking the comfortable silence between them.Daniela exhaled a humorless laugh,sipping the last remnants of her drink. “I don’t. Not usually.”“Bad day?” he tried to examine.She let out a breath, shaking her head slightly. “Try a bad life.”Something flickered in Gabriel’s eyes. “That bad, huh?”She turned to look at him, taking in the way he held her gaze without hesitation. Most men would have backed off by now, sensing the weight in her voice. But he didn’t. He held steady, waiting, offering no judgment—only curiosity.“I lost my father,
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter74: A night of escape
The club was filled with energy, a stark contrast to the suffocating silence that had filled Daniela's mind since she learned about her father's death. She sat in the dimly lit VIP lounge, a glass of whiskey in her hands, swirling the liquid absentmindedly. Loud music was filled in the air, the bass vibrating beneath her feet, but it barely drowned out the guilt eating deep in her blood. She had come to the club to escape, to calm her nerves down. But no amount of alcohol could raise the growing doubt in her chest. As she stared at the dance floor, her eyes was drawn to a man watching her across the room. He was tall, Confident, with black piercing eyes and he had a particular charisma that made him stand out in the crowded club. Their eyes met and for a moment, Daniela thought She imagined him kissing her lips deeply. Not long after, he moved straight towards her. He sat beside her, his scent rich perfume mixed with something dangerously intoxicating filling her se
The Billionaire's unseen heir Chapter73: Lost and forgotten
Daniela sat in the back of the taxi,her fingers tightly gripping her purse. The city outside the window blurred as the vehicle sped past familiar streets,each one carrying a memory She had left long buried. For years, She had been absent from this place,from the people who once mattered ,convincing herself that She was better off without them. But now,with everything crumbling around her, She found herself desperate for something to hold on to. Her sister was gone. Her marriage to Alexander had ended in humiliation. And now, She had finally decided to reconnect with her Dad. She had avoided him for so long, ashamed of how her life had turned out. But deep down,She wanted to believe that despite everything , he would still welcome her with open arms. She had replayed her words a thousand times in her head. She would tell him about her divorce,about how she had lost her sister, about how lost she felt.He had blamed her for marrying Alexander but now she needed him to c
