He kissed her passionately. It was soft and gentle. It didn't last long but it didn't have to. The kiss held the words they had left unspoken. A knock on the door diverted their attention, pulling them back to the sad reality as her mother walked in carrying a tear-stained Bella and Ashton, who was holding his grandmother's hand."Mommy, are you sick?" Bella asked.Ashley looked at her children, not knowing what to tell them. How did she break the news to them? She knows she should tell them something so that when her time comes, they won't be devastated."Yes, Mommy is sick and has to stay in the hospital for a while longer," Adrian said, looking at his kids. He knew Ashley didn't want to burn them at such a young age, especially with death.They spent a few hours talking to their mother and when Adrian noticed how tired Ashley looked, he asked his mother-in-law to take the children home.A week later... It had been a week. Nothing had changed. Ashley still lay in the hospital bed. A
Tasmyn stood gaping at Ashley like a fish, completely shaken at her honesty and straightforward comments. Ashley could only guess that this woman has been insulted before but never to this extent. She would have felt a little bad if it weren't Tasmyn who was receiving the insult."Now, Ashley, we were once friends." Tasmyn tried to suck up, seeming to have finally found her voice again."No, Tasmyn. Let's be honest, we were never friends because friends don't go after their friends' husbands. If you dare to try to tell people that we were friends, I will deny it. And you can fucking bet when I die you will be the first one I will haunt and I will make sure that you wish you were dead, so yes, I am on my death bed and nothing would give me much pleasure to haunt you in my afterlife so get ready because this bitch isn't done with your skanky ass yet." If it were even possible, Tasmyn's jaw hung even more as Ashley said those words. She tried to compose herself by straightening her dress
The billionaires heirsThird-person POVThe phone call came late one night. The hospital number flashes on Adrian's screen. Adrian scrambled up as he looked at his phone. He picked it up immediately, worried about why they were calling him this late. Something must have happened. The nurse who called him was nervous and didn't talk as soon as Adrian picked up the phone. "Hello?" Adrian asked, getting irritated by the second. Why are they calling him if they don't talk? The nurse on the other side of the phone looked at another nurse, pleading with her eyes but none of them wanted to be the one to tell Adrian the news."Are you going to talk any time soon? If not, I'm hanging up," Adrian yelled, frustrated.The nurse swallowed hard and took a big breath. All of them are afraid of the famous Adrian Black. "Mr. Black, there has been a development in your wife's condition and Doctor Charlene asked if you could come in to see her." The nurse finally said."What development?" Adrian snapped.
The billionaires heirs Third-Person POV… Her eyes felt heavy as she stirred and tried to stretch and crack her back. The room was bright, making it even harder for her to open her eyes. She felt a little hand on her and heard a little scream in her ears as she recognized who it was. She forced herself to open her eyes to look at her little girl.“Mommy, mommy, Ashton, look, mommy." Bella’s sweet smile filled Ashley's vision. Her two front teeth were missing and her hair was braided neatly. Next to Bella, Ashton sat with his hair neatly backward, and just like Bella, he had two missing teeth and was dressed in his school uniform."Oh my God, thank you." Ashley's mother's hands flew to her mouth, seeing her daughter awake and she quickly pressed the nurse's bell at the side of the bed."We thought you would never wake up," her mother said through tears. "I will be right back; there is something I need to do." "Mommy, can you come home today?" Bella asked."Mommy, are you all better?"
"I am truly sorry but she went into a seizure and we did all we could," she said, looking heartbroken at Adrian.'Ashley passed away a few minutes ago," she said, saying those words he had been dreading to hear."No! No!" Adrian screamed, the pain ripping through his chest.Adrian opens his eyes, panting for breath, as he sits up.It was just a bad dream, he told himself. It all felt so real for him.He can't let it happen to her.He looked at the clock on his bedside and saw it was only five in the morning. After that dream, he knew he wouldn't go back to sleep.He jumped out of bed and got dressed as quickly as he could before brushing his teeth. He texted his mother-in-law since she was staying with them at the moment before he headed out to visit his wife. He needed to see her.The hospital was quiet by the time he got there but that was because it was still early. He wanted to see his wife and if anyone tries to stop him, he will make their lives hell.The entrance door slid open
The billionaires heirs Third-person POV… Adrian received a call from the company saying he must come in immediately. He asked Harry to take care of it but since it was a legal dispute, he was needed along with his lawyers. He couldn't read the document in front of him. His mind keeps drifting back to Ashley and what she asked this morning. He knew he had to try. He must give her some peace before her time runs out. He wanted to dial the hospital and ask for permission but he was afraid of what they would tell him if they answered the phone. He needs to talk to them face-to-face that is the only way. He tried to busy himself with his work but he couldn't. He was thinking about his children. They told them that their mother got cancer the day he went to the hospital in the morning hours. Ashley wanted them to know since they kept asking when she was going home. Both the kids took the news hard. He could tell they miss their mother even though they see her every day but he guesses it
They all had a picnic under the huge tree that Ashley once loved so much. They were laughing and watching the children play. Ashley could feel a lump in her throat as she watched over her loved ones. The only thing she ever wanted was for her children to be happy and looking at them playing with their father, she knew they would be alright.Later that night, Adrian told them that it was time for Ashley to take a rest and that they could all come back tomorrow. He watched her fight to stay strong and spend more time with her loved ones but he knew she needed to rest. He might sound selfish but he doesn't want to lose her now."Dance with me," Ashley asked as soon as they reached their room."Babe, you need to rest. Today was a long one for you," Adrian tries to pursue her."I know but I want to dance one last dance with you. The one we danced on the first night we made love." Adrian finally gave in and nodded, walking to the stereo and starting to play their song.Tonight, I celebrate
The Billionaires HeirsThe clock on the wall strikes twelve O'clock. The house was quiet, everything was at a standstill. Adrian gave them the day off. Some of the staff, those who knew Ashley, would attend the funeral. Ashton and Bella refused to leave the house. Cassady and Sandra were devastated
“You know I can do the other hand as well. I have all day long.” He proceeded to the next hand and when he was done with the second fingernail, she finally gave in, “Alright, stop. Please stop. I will tell you.” She begged. She was sobbing by now and I don’t blame her. That must hurt like a bitch bu
Bella…“Where is Ace?!" I asked when I went back upstairs. Ryder has left to god knows where and he wasn't answering his phone. I was fucking worried about him. “He isn't home yet.” Clarence replied. I grab my phone and immediately call Ace. He picked up after a few rings, “Ace, where are you?” I as
I looked at Clarence and nodded towards her, “Cut off her ring finger.” I ordered. I won't do much damage. I want her to tell me the fucking truth. I need a plan to lure Walton here and the only way I would do that was by getting her to talk. Clarence walked to her side took the knife and cut off he
Guards came running in and looked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. Bonnie, Gretqa, or whoever the fuck she was, was out cold. “Take her to the basement. Tie her to a chair. Make sure she can't escape.” I ordered. I was going to kill this bitch. Clarence and Tommaso came running in. “Fuc
Bella…"Bella, are you okay in there?" Bonnie asked through the door. SHit, did she hear me on the phone? I have to think of something. “I am alright. I just have a bit of pain. I think I should drink some painkillers and lay down for a bit.” I lied, well, not exactly. I did have pain but I wasnt go
Bonnie took the gun and smiled, “Alright.”She aimed the gun at the board we sat up on. “You have to concentrate. Hold the gun right. It won't bite you. Now look at your target, aim and shoot.” I instructed her.“What if I shoot the guard?” She asked, and I looked over at the guard and showed him to
Ryder chuckled, "Yes, I got him the Toyota GR Supra GT4 50.”I roll my eyes. “I'm starting to think you men never grow up,” I smirked. Ashton loves his limited-edition cars. He has a garage full of those cars.“Honey, I already got her something perfect.” Bonnie announced and all of us turned to her
Bella…I have truly missed Ryder. I haven't seen him in a while, not since he decided to play house with Bonnie. It's been so long. My other siblings and I talk over video calls often, but Ryder always seems too busy to pick up the phone when I call. I was so happy to see him again; I'm sure Ace cal
“Did you think about names yet?” Dean asked. I knew he was trying to distract Bella. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and handed Bella some orange juice. Deam was still sipping on his wine."I love the name Kent or Hugo. If it's a boy." I said as I turned to face Bella. “And if it's a girl, what a
