LEAH“His eldest brother to be precise,” he added.Drew Mountains. First of the many sons born to Andrew Mountains. The meanest, most ruthless, and strictest. Straight A student throughout highschool, and college. His parents never had to bribe their way throughout his academics, or so we were told. He was born with an iron fist. He never partied, was never found lacking, and was his father's right hand. He took interest in the family's business from such a young age. He was the definition of a perfect son. It explained why I couldn't recognize him instantly. I had never truly known him. We only met at important dinners, and rather than entertain girls like me, he had entertained men. Moreover, we had a very large age gap. Ten years, I think, if not more. We never had the same friend circle, or any circle for that matter.“I know you,” I finally let out.“I had to make an introduction though,” he replied, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't seem impressed with that.It was sur

LEAHI woke up to the sound of different movements around. Slowly, I wiped my eyes as I tried to look around. Here, it was impossible to tell what time of the day it was.“You're awake, that's good.” Drew's voice pulled my attention,I turned to find him walking in with two cups of coffee in hand. “I was scared you'd sleep into oblivion.” He said, handing one over to me.He was in a black pajamas, so was it still night time? But he had commented on me sleeping for too long…“What's the time?” I asked,“Check your phone.” I cleared my throat, “I-I-don’t have one.”He took a sip of his drink. I had expected him to react, but he didn't seem surprised. “When did you misplace it?”Oh no. He had misunderstood me. “I didn't misplace it. I don't have any. I've not had a phone for a while…”He took another long sip of his drink. “Take your cocoa before it cools down.”I picked up the drink.“Francis is coming over, probably by noon, to check on you. Are you alright with that?”I wasn't. Fr

LEAH“...and that's the end of my story.” I completed,Francis did not say a word but from the look on his face, I could tell he was contemplating murder.“Kate…is she the one who was your chief bridesmaid at the wedding?” He asked,I nodded.“The one with dark hair, and I think hazel eyes?”“Yeah…”“Okay. Wow. That was a plot twist.” He exhaled,Even I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't lived the story.“Well, that's just how life is. The unexpected always happens.”“Yeah. Look, I'm sorry about all these things that have happened to you. Lucas is one hell of a bastard, and for your ex best friend, I have no words. None.”“I guess I've gotten over it. For her. I mean, she did make a way for me to escape that place, especially after the many death threats by Lucas.” I continued,Francis leaned back on the chair. I watched him stare into space for a while.“I need to get you to a better place. Somewhere you can stay for a while.”I shook my head, “I don't want to be out just yet. I d

LEAHFrancis kept looking out the window. I followed his trail, and although I couldn't see the girl anywhere in sight, I knew he was looking somewhere at her. His eyes were on her food truck.I didn't want to interrupt the moment so I sat still.His hands moved to the key, but his eyes were still on her.“You can go talk to her, I'll wait.” I voiced out,He turned to me, “No, it's alright.” He replied, igniting the engine.“Are you sure?” I pressed forward, but he only nodded, and offered a partial smile. I let it be.“How did you find this food truck? It's basically in the middle of nowhere.”Francis chuckled, “what are you saying? This is the heart of town.”“I guess, but I can't understand why you'd step down from your car to buy food from a food truck. Tell me, how hungry were you?”“Can I tell you something?” He asked, stepping gently on the break.“Yes, sure.”“I wasn't hungry at all.”“Oh. Why then did you stop there?”“Her hair.”“Huh?”“She had dyed her hair a burgundy color

LEAHFrancis came down a few minutes later. His outfit had been switched from a pair of suit to a black pair of joggers, and a white shirt. His hair was rumpled, and wet.“You're done with your meal,” he said walking past me.I was about to reply when I felt a belch come up. “I am. Can I get some water?”“Sure,” he replied,He returned less than a minute later with the bottle.He sat on the chair adjacent to mine. I recalled my bare thighs, and pushed my gown down.“Drew wants to have a talk with you,” he started to say.“Oh, okay. When exactly?”“He said he wants it done today, but I don't think that's a great idea. You're just recovering from something tragic. I think you need time to actually recover before you start planning the next move or course of action.”“I don't mind. It's not too soon.”“Are you sure?”“ A hundred percent.”I saw the hesitation in his stiffness, but he didn't argue. “Sure, I'll tell him to set up a time and venue for you to meet.”“You won't be there?”“D

LEAHYou could always trust Francis to pick out the perfect dress, and shoes for any event. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, admiring my waistline.The dress Francis had picked flowed to the ground, but it had a bare back. Just a few stripes were tied to form a bow at the waistline.I applied the last touch of makeup, and sprayed my hair.“Should I leave it down, or take it up?” I asked myself in a low tone,After much consideration, I decided to leave it the way it had already been-down.As I walked down from the stairs, I was met with Francis who was already prepared, and ready to leave.“Are you done?” He asked,“Yeah,” I replied, hurrying towards him.“You know there's no rush, right? If you're not comfortable with this, you can just cancel.” I nodded. I knew quite well, but I'd be damned if I said I hadn't been waking up every morning for the past six months, waiting for when I could destroy that motherfucker. He held my hand, and led me through the doors.Soon enough,

LEAHI huffed and puffed, waiting for him to make the next move. He chuckled, triggering the anxiety within me.“Leah, come here now.”I didn't move a single inch forward.“This fucking bitch,” he grunted, moving towards me.I winced as he grabbed my hands.“Let me go, or I'll scream. The entire restaurant will hear me.” I threatened,“You think I give any fuck? With the show you just put out there, you'd best believe everyone already thinks you have mental issues. I just need to confirm it, and it's done.”His grip on my hands tightened. I winced even more, as he pulled me forward.The tears started to well up my eyes. I wanted to cry out, but I just couldn't. The sobs choked me into silence as he pulled me towards the back way.As he struggled moving forward, an idea popped up.I dug my teeth into his fingers. His cry came out loud, and he smacked me right across the cheek. “What the fuck do you think you're doing?!” His voice thundered,He had successfully pulled me towards the ki

LEAH “You have a lot of passion, I like it.” Drew commended me.I nodded. He had no idea how long I had been waiting for a moment like this. One where I could teach Lucas that he was just a beginner at being evil.I was my father's daughter after all…“Well, here's my card.” Drew tossed the card at me, “if you ever need to reach out to me privately. Please call my assistant, she'll tell you what to do.”Taking the card from Drew was awkward, but I received it nonetheless.“I'm waiting for you to reach out,” he said, then walked away.The table grew quiet as soon as he left. Francis angrily poked at his meal.I knew he wasn't mad at me…or so I thought, but I couldn't ask why he was so pissed.“Are you alright?” I tried to ask.“Um, yeah. I'm good.” He replied,A few seconds passed before he said another thing, “It's really crazy how much Lucas has hurt you. He didn't even treat you like a human.”I shrugged, “that's behind us now, isn't it? Your brother is getting me help so I can ma

The return of the billionaire heiress. Face of the table.
LEAH“Why are you even so interested in my character, and attributes? Do you fancy me?” I teased,“No,” he replied curtly , “The better I understand you, the easier it is for me to help you.” I nodded. It sounded fair enough.“I'm not a mean girl,” I corrected him,He raised a brow at me, “if you feel so.”I hissed. Soon enough, he was equally getting on my nerves.“Carla looks like-”“Why do you have to keep bringing her up into our conversations?” I asked,“Do you have a problem with that?” “Yes. I just need a break from always hearing about or seeing her.”“Why?” “I saw her, and Francis last night. On the couch.”“So?”“They were naked,”His lips twotched in a smile. I waited for him to ask the intended question, but he never did.“It doesn't explain why you hate her still.”“I don't hate her.”“Okay.”“I just don't like always hearing about her. Like, she doesn't even like me. She tried to mean girl me today.”“She tried to mean girl you?” Drew asked,He had hints of doubt in h
The return of the billionaire heiress. Perfect.
LEAHHaving those two at the house made me appreciate the current silence more. I stretched my feet on the table, embracing the serenity that came with the silence. The television played in the background, but I was lost in a train of thoughts. I couldn't wait for the day I would be able to lay my hands on that godforsaken bastard that claimed to be my husband. I occasionally thought about our plan, trying to find faults. I hadn't realized how hard it would be, trying to get the votes of the board. I had automatically assumed my uncles would give me their votes, alongside the Mountains, but what if they refused? I was only certain of two votes. It wasn't news that my uncles hated me to their bones, but would they really let a stranger take what one of us could?Surely, they had to just think that it would be easier to take the properties from me, than Lucas. Moreover, with me, the properties were still in the Irving's name, and they stood more chances at that.I sighed. And then C
The return of the billionaire heiress. Breakfast
LEAHMy grumbling stomach made me turn in bed. I groaned, gripping myself together. It felt like I was starving, but I couldn't bare to leave the room. I clenched my arms together trying to suppress the hunger.Nothing would make me go downstairs, especially not after all I had seen last night. My memory still had a clear image of a naked Carla, and Francis on the couch. They were naked!I shuddered, trying to shake off the feeling I got in my body. Immediately I had seen them, I turned around, and ran straight to the room. I even locked the door, because I was too scared to speak to any one of them. It was admittably awkward. It was even beyond awkward.Hm.How would I face them?I looked at my phone. It was an hour to noon. I waited to hear their voices when she was leaving, or at least an indication that both of them had left.I got up, and walked to the window. All of Francis's cars were still parked on the driveway. Even if she had left, he hadn't.I sighed, slumping on the empt
The return of the billionaire heiress. A disease.
LEAHShe kept on talking.It was never ending. I turned to look at Drew, but he had a mischievous smile on his face.I watched as she pulled her husband, with her free hand, “honey, don't you think they look good together?” She asked,The man eyed me then he silently nodded,“I think so too. Drew’s a much better option than the other guy. He was such a people pleaser.”I laughed, “thank you, ma'am, but we're not together.” I finally got the chance to correct her,I watched as she gasped loudly. Her hands covered her mouth. “Oh, my big mouth always get me in trouble. Darling, when I saw him holding your hand-”“It's alright, it was a mistake,” I tried to sooth her.“It was. You know, back in my day, whenever a man and woman held hands and walked in such proximity, it was a silent indication that he had claimed her,” she started to rattle, “when I saw you both, I forgot that we were no more in my prime, and we are now in yours, where this is normal. I'm sorry, darling.”“It's alright.”
The return of the billionaire heiress. Dinner
LEAHGold jewelries would always glow on a red dress. A smile curled up my lips as I watched my reflection in the mirror. A trimmed hair, long lashes, slender body, and a mood for revenge. I walked forwardy towards the mirror, taking in my appearance. This look could conquer the world.As I picked up my brown bag, I heard a knock on the door.“Are you ready yet?” Francis's voice pulled me from my thoughts,“Yes,” I replied, stashing my phone in my bag.I opened the door, and walked out.“You look... beautiful,” he complimented me,“Thank you. I can definitely say the same for you.”“Thanks,” he replied,We walked down the stairs, and headed straight for his car.“Why do you like to drive yourself?” I asked, as he pulled the door open for me.“I like to be in charge, and it's much safer that way.”I sat in.As soon as he got in, I continued, “I like to believe it's safer having professionally, and well trained drivers moving you around.” He chuckled, “You've always being a controversi

LEAHI received the papers tentatively from her. “You couldn't wait till tomorrow to serve me the papers?” I questioned,“It was an emergent situation, and I was ordered to deliver it before midnight.” She replied,I waved her off, and she walked away.As I scanned the papers, I realized that he had indeed filed a restraining order with proof of me stalking, and being abusive towards him.“This is bullshit,” I cursed, passing the paper to Francis.He scanned through it, took pictures of it, and handed it to Drew.Drew didn't spend so much as five seconds on it before he handed it over to Mr Phlux. “Is there any way we can combat this?” He asked,“I'll have to go over it. Give me a minute.”I watched as Mr Phlux read through the papers, “He's trying to make you seem like a lunatic,” he said folding the papers.“What the actual fuck? I am not the one who showed up at his house threatening to beat him to pulp.” I defended myself,“According to this, he said you stalked him to a restaura

LEAHI watched as his jaw twitched repeatedly. His eyes narrowedy and he stubbed his chin, but he didn't say a word.“I asked a question, didn't I? Weren't you working for my husband?” I pressed on,“I was.”“Get this man out of here.” I shoved him off,“Wait, you can't chase me away.”“Why?” I sneered at him,“I know everything you need to know about lucas. Well, not everything, but I know well enough to help you.”“Did Lucas send you here? Did he send you to spy on me and reveal my plans?”“No!” He exclaimed, “no, he didn't.”Francis touched my arm, “Leah, calm down.”After all that had happened today, I couldn't even bear to listen to anything partaining to Lucas.I turned to Drew, “did you know he worked for Lucas?”“Listen to your friend, and calm down.” he replied,I tried to zip my mouth shut. I didn't want to make the same mistake I had made previously.“I am well aware that Xander used to be one of Lucas's attorneys, but that is exactly why I hired him.”“He can't be trusted,
The return of the billionaire heiress. An introduction.
LEAHFrancis stayed with me for the rest of the day, and I was grateful for that. I sat in the kitchen while he dished the food he had ordered. I couldn't help but constantly look over my shoulder, just in case.“Did you lock the door after the police left?” I asked,He sighed, “yes, I did. There are also five men standing at different points of this house. At our gate, there are more security men. You have nothing to worry about.”“Yeah, you're right,” I tried to gaslight myself into believing it, “you're right. I'm safe.”He held my eyes, “you are.” He reinforced.I took a deep bite of my meal. The doorbell rang, and I almost jumped off my seat.“It's probably the dress I ordered,” Francis said out loud, trying to soothe me. He wiped his hands with a towel, and went for the door. I remained in the kitchen, listening as he spoke to the stranger there.“If you could sign, sir.” The stranger said,A few seconds later, I heard a “thank you,” and the door was shut. Footsteps later, Fra

LEAHI scramed up my phone form the bedsheet, and quickly clicked on Francis's line.“H-hello,” I called out, my voice breaking.I could hear Lucas's knocks on the door. This time he was slamming the door profusely.“Scan the area! Find a way, get in, and get that bitch out for me!” He screamed, I walked into the room’s closet, and hid in there.“Hello,” I spoke into the phone again, but there was no response, “Hello-hel- hello!” “I can hear you!” Francis's grunt came out loud, I looked to realize I had muted him a while ago.“What's going on, Leah?”“Lucas. He's in the house.”“What?!” He jumped, I heard chairs screech around him. “How did he get in?”“He hasn't gotten in, yet, but he's at the door. The people he came with are trying to find a way for him to come in, and get me. Francis please come home, I'm scared. Please. Please.”“It's okay. I'm on the line with estate security right now. I'll be home in the next ten minutes.”I heard as he spoke to someone else on the other si
