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

Gabriel stared at Daniela's name on his phone screen, his thumb hanging over the call button. His mind screamed at him to stop, to delete her number and erase her from his life. But his foolish bleeding heart refused to listen. He pressed the button. The phone rang once and then twice then also the third time. His ear began to shake as he imagined her reaction. Would She scoff at the sight of his name? Would she Ignore him completely? Or worse still was she Lying in Alexander's arms, Laughing at his desperation?. On the fourth ring, The call connected . A cold, detached voice filled his ears. “ Hello?”. Gabriel's breath almost left him. He hadn't really prepared for this . Now that She was on the line, the words tangled inside him, choking him. He had imagined her reaction when she saw his name on her screen. Was she smiling at his call?Would she groan in annoyance and cut the call while rolling her eyes at Alexander? But now that she had picked the call, all he could d
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 murmure
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
