LEAHLadies and gentlemen, I promised to be back, didn't I?Your favorite blogger never lies.I am back, and I brought enough tea with me. Grab your horses, and read very carefully within the lines. This masterpiece was crafted from pure truth, and research.Newly influential billionaire, Mr Lucas Irving has slowly decided to bring himself to stardom. As you may or may not know, the late Mr Irving left all his properties in his son-in-law’s possession. Rumors have led us to believe that Mrs Leah Irving is incapable of birthing a child.Why her father decided his son in law would be a better fit supersedes me.However, Mr Lucas Irving has decided on how he wants to spend his money.In the last three months, he has been seen with three different women on numerous occasions, splashing gifts, and having fun.I promised to bring the full gist, didn't I? Trust me on this.Mr Lucas has been entwined with Martina McBride, Andrea Ramirez, and an unknown woman for now. Martina McBride receiv
LEAHI couldn't believe it. Kate had fallen for his dumb schemes.I watched as she jumped around in excitement as soon as he placed the ring on her finger.She hugged him tight, “thank you, baby.” I narrowed my eyes on her.Barely two hours ago, she had given me hope of a new future. One where I could actually deal with Lucas, and now a ring had gotten her swooped up her feet.“To show you how sorry I am, I have decided to fix my mistake by myself. I don't want to disturb my baby.”“Aww,” she fawned over him, covering her mouth with her fingers.I nearly hissed. “I have another surprise for you,” he said, then turned to me, “go to my room. There's a file there, bring it to me.”I quickly turned around, and walked to his room.As soon as I entered, I felt the sudden urge to snoop through, looking for anything that could help me regain my inheritance, but then I knew that I didn't want to risk Lucas coming up here to find out that I had been snooping through his stuff.I still hadn't
LEAH“Hello,” I said into the phone as my hands trembled.Francis's voice came out crispy, “hey, how are you?”“I'm quite good.”Kate signalled me to turn on the speaker.“How are you?” I asked, trying to still my breath,For some reason, I felt on edge.“Oh, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just read the blog. Someone from my team showed it to me…”“I've seen it too. Isabella showed it to me.”“Ah. I see. You're both warming up to each other, aren't you?”“I guess you can say so.” I replied,If he wanted to beat around the bush, I had no problems playing along. Moreover, I didn't want to talk about it. It was bad enough that I had to pretend like I cared about Lucas, now I was expected to actually feel hurt and betrayed by his dumb actions.“So…you're good?”“Yup, pretty much.”“You know you can talk to me, alright? After last night, and whatever has been going on in your life. If you need someone to talk to, just ring me up.”“I understand. Thank you so much for your care, Francis.”“It's no b
LEAHAs Kate walked out of the door, I heard Lucas's voice emerge from the shadows.“What were you doing in there?” He asked, with a suspicious tone.I moved closer to the wall.Kate did not stutter. “I went to inform Leah of the new tasks I have for her.”“Oh, and they are?” He probed further,“Are you really interested in house chores? What are you doing here?” She poked back.I heard him clear his throat. “I…um…I hadn't seen you in a while so I came to check on you. I was wondering if that girl had done something to you.”“She wouldn't dare.”“Good.”I expected their footsteps to trail off, but as I listened further, I only heard heavy breathing.“I plan on relocating to Atlanta very soon.” Kate said,“Yeah, I know. How soon though?” “In a day or two.”“That's quite fast…”“Things have escalated faster than expected. I didn't expect that stupid blogger to release anything this week. Now, there's a need for major damage control, and I have reasons to believe we might be expecting t
LEAHAs soon as they walked out of the door, I quickly walked off.Kate had kept a few items on her bed for me. I looked through them. A skimpy dress was the first thing my eyes caught.“Oh, I remember how sexy I was before I opened my legs for Lucas.” She had sighed, as she dropped the dress on the bed.I scanned it. It was a gold colored thin dress with strap hands. I flapped it. I could guess where the dress would stop on my thighs.I looked through the makeup items. I wasn't perfect with the makeup, but I could try.There was a note on the bed, “ I have ordered an Uber for you. He should arrive in less than an hour. Stay out and a guard will get you to him. Remember, be back on time.” The note read.I folded it, and placed it in my pocket. To be safe, it was best to believe I had thirty minutes to prepare.I looked at the door leading to her bathroom for a long minute. Did I want to risk taking a shower there?Hell yeah. This was the first step of taking the brave moves to freed
LEAHThe vibe of the music changed to a slow, consensual vibe.I wasn't that drunk. I could still tell what was going on, and how it was affecting me.The mysterious girl’s hand had moved further up my thighs, and I could feel my dress moving upwards. Not much longer, and my butt would be bare in the open.“What are we doing?” I asked, feeling myself getting a bit lightheaded,“Having some fun.” She replied. Her lips spread into a wide grin. She had perfect dentition.“What's your name?” I asked,“Loretta.”“Okay, Loretta.”“What's yours?” She asked,“Leah,” I replied, exhaling heavily. The heat of the moment was rising exponentially.“Leah, are you tired?” She asked,I shook my head. How could I be tired when I still had so much to do? I hadn't sighted even one wealthy person in the room, and even if I decided to steal every penny from everyone present, it still wouldn't be enough to save me.Oh, I was in such a deep mess.I sighed.“Are you stressed? I can make you relaxed.”“Go on
LEAHYuck! That was disgusting.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and I watched as the bouncer grinned. He tapped my head gently.“You're a good girl.” He cooed at me in a low tone, “but you'd have been a better girl if you'd taken it in.”Hell no. There was no way on earth that I'd swallow this man's semen. I rose to my feet immediately.Loretta better be worth all this stress.“Can you take me to Loretta already?”“What's the rush, baby? We can-”“We can do nothing! You asked for a blowjob, and I gave you one! It's time to play your part.”“Sheesh. Come, and I'll take you to her.”“Thank you,” I murmured back.I walked behind him as he led me through the crowd. The party had grown rowdier, and noisier than it had been. Bodies were slamming against each other, clothes were being ripped off, and the heat of the moment was at maximum point.The guard walked up to another, and they talked in hushed tones.“She's in the VIP section,” he said to me.Of course, why didn't I think
LEAH“Tell your boss I said he can go to hell,” I spat at him, but he didn't move.I stared at him with pain, and anger boiling within me.“I've been instructed not to leave if I don't return with you.” He said,“You better get comfortable, because I'm not going anywhere.”To my surprise, he moved towards, and stood a few feet behind me.God. If Lucas wanted to pick me up, why didn't he just do it himself?I hissed. He probably didn't want all the crowd, and attention.“Please leave.” He didn't move an inch.“Leave.” I grunted.The music was still blasting loudly.“Please come with me, else my boss will have to take drastic measures.”“Tell him I said he can do his worst.”I watched as he returned back to his standing position. He said a few words into his microphone.“She has refused to come with me…yes sir…I've tried sir…okay, noted.” A few seconds later, the music stopped.I turned to the DJ who began to address the crowd.“Hey everyone. The party's over. Go home.”“Fuck you. We
LEAH“You're joking, right?”I shook my head. “I'm not. I'm serious, I want to adopt a child.”“And you want me to be the co parent,” he completed,“Exactly.”“No.”“Why?” I cocked my head, “I thought we were a team?” He closed his eyes, then I heard a deep groan. “Why do you want a child?”“Because she's important to me.”“Whose child do you want to adopt?”“Yours.” He was silent for a second. He leaned back on his chair, then finally leaned towards me. I was still by the door, with it slightly adjusted.“That's Kate's child,” he corrected,I clenched my jaw, biting back the words.“What do you say? Are you with me on this or not?”“I'm not with you on anything. You want to adopt a child? Go on, I'm not stopping you, but I won't be a part of it.”“This is your child!”“It's Kate's child.”My lips parted, and I was about to preach on how insensitive he was, but I clamped my lips shut. It was Lucas. Why had I expected better?I turned around, and walked out of his office.As soon as
LEAH“I'll work on it,”He didn't respond, but with a huff, he was out of the office.Lucas walked in immediately, “what did your uncle want?” “Since when did we become a team?” I snarled,He walked in fully, and closed the door behind him.I looked through the glass, ensuring he knew that everyone could see him. He tucked at his suit, and straightened his shoulders.“We need to be a team. Your uncle is the enemy, not me.”I glared at him, but didn't say a word as I retreated back to my seat.“Do you like your position in this company?”“Why? Do you want to take that away too? Haven't you taken enough from me?”“I'm not taking anything. Just listen to me. I can give you a permanent spot at this table, but you and I know your uncle is the common enemy. One chance, and he'll displace us permanently.”I looked him dead in the eye, “There is no way in hell you're trying to negotiate my father's company with me.”“Look, I'm not negotiating, I'm just-”I saw the desperation in his eyes, a
LEAH“I'm staying for the meeting, but please help me reach out to Drew's home, and see if you can speak to him.”“Alright, do you have any message you want me to pass on?”“No,” I shook my head, slightly, “just let him know that I'm checking in.” She walked out abruptly.I took one look at my phone, and typed in Martina's name on the search bar. She was the first to come up.As I scrolled through, I searched for whatever I could use to debunk whatever he was trying to do.Martina had a master's degree in finance and accounting. A first class degree. She was good.I had submerged myself into reading her profile, until Mary's voice pulled me off guard.“I called, and Mr Drew is not home.” Where the hell could he have gone to?“Were you informed on where he could be?” I asked,“Yes, he's at work.”I released a deep sigh, as I pinched my forehead. “Don't worry about it, thank you.” She nodded, and walked out.The intercom buzzed, and I heard Scarlett's voice.“We are all expected to
LEAH“Why are you staring at me?” He asked with his eyes semi closed.I shook my head, “nothing.” I didn't bother lying.“You should get dressed and go to work.”“You're not fine, I'm not leaving you here.”“I have a hundred staff here,” he argued, “I'm sure I'll be fine.”“I'm not leaving.”He glared at me, “go to work. There are already whispers about you, missing a day will give them a topic.”I didn't want to move an inch, but he had bit the bullet at the right point.I walked into my closet. I heard the doctor's voice as he came in, and I blocked their voices out.Soon enough, I had picked what I wanted to wear, and I changed into it.As I walked out of the room, Drew's eyes met mine one more time. “Get well soon,” I wished,He nodded, and I left the house.I knew I was an hour late for work. Eyes had lingered on me as I walked into the office. Mary ran to my side as soon as she sighted me. She smiled at me politely, “Good morning, ma'am. Let me help with your bag.” She offered
LEAH“I can't make any decisions right now. I'm going to bed, and you should too.”“Okay. Fine.” He didn't argue,I ended the call abruptly.As I wrapped the bed sheet over myself, sleep cuddled me like a warm blanket.THE NEXT MORNING.The blaring sound of the alarm woke me the next morning. With a groan, I picked up my phone, and swiped it off. What was even the time? I looked at the clock. Five am. It was good enough, I could start preparing for work.I got off the bed, and was about heading into the shower when I recalled none of the maids had brought in my outfit for today last night.Drew's perfectly worming team had forgotten my clothes, but they were somehow perfect at gossiping.I sucked in my teeth, and opened the door.To my surprise, a body fell on the floor. My pupils widened as his head hit the carpet.“Drew!” I screamed out, surprised.His eyelids flickered twice, and then a silent groan escaped his lips.In a bid to help him up, I grabbed his arms. His temperature h
LAEL“I've solved your problems”I opened my eyes immediately. He walked past me, and towards the bench.I closed my lips, and wiped the shame from them.The lights were dim, but bright enough for me to see his full physique. He took off the black gloves on his hands.“What do you mean?” I asked, not moving.“Your problem, I solved it.”“What problem?” “The murder accusation.” He replied, as he threw the leather gloves into the trash can.“How?” That was all I could ask. Nothing seemed to make any sense.He started to unbutton his equally black shirt, “Do you really want to know how?” “Yes,” He grunted, as he took the shirt off, and tossed it into the trash can too. He then took off his socks, and shoes. They got the same fate as the rest of his clothings.“Call a guard for me,”“No.”His eyes flickered, “Don't be stubborn, call a guard.”I refused to move.He sighed, picked up his phone, and I heard the buzzing sounds.“Boss,” I could hear his right hand’s voice.“Come to the gard
LEAHHe didn't say a word to me as he walked off.I heard his footsteps disappear, and I walked to the living room.Less than a minute later, his car revved. The metals of the gate clanked on each other, and his car soon disappeared from the compound.I touched my lips gently, still able to feel Francis's lips. What had I done? No. What did he do?He kissed me in his brother's house!He was married, and he kissed me in his brother's home.I took a deep breath, trying to stabilize myself. This was all shades of wrong.I headed straight for my room. It was impossible to deal with everything at the moment.As soon as I laid on the bed, I picked up my phone, and scrolled through. Kristy had made a post from my account.With a picture attached, she wrote,“I have heard your concerns, and I have seen your posts. The slander, the defense- all of it. Here I am to clear the airIt is not a rare occasion for someone of my stature to be seen at a police station. Was I escorted by two cops? Yes
LEAHI squirmed uncomfortably in my seat as the conversation moved forward.Xander brought up the issues to expect, and then so did Vivian.Kristy immediately got to work, typing furiously on her phone. Not once did she look up,nor acknowledge the rest of the conversation. I liked her at that moment.“With all that has been said, and done, I believe this meeting has come to a considerable end.” Drew acknowledged.They all nodded.“Have a goodnight,”One after the other, the room was emptied. Drew, Francis, and I were the last three.Francis stared deeply at his brother who refused to acknowledge his presence.“Dad wants to see all of us”Francis winced, “why?” “Why?” He chuckled, “Take a good guess.” His reply was crisp.“Is he coming to us, or are we going to see him?” Francis enquired, yet again.“I came to you,” a deep voice replied.I turned to find their father standing at the doorway.We all rose to our feet immediately.“Dad,” Francis's voice shook slightly.His father walked
LEAH“Let's get a seat.” I said to all of them.We headed to the dinning. Drew, upon hearing our voices, came in.He occupied the head of the table, whilst bus brother sat at his right hand.The dining room could hold twelve, and we all occupied it.“Good evening, everyone.” Drew addressed, as his eyes roamed from me to the others. “I believe we all have an idea of what we are here to do.” There was no comment. He cleared his throat, and continued, “Mrs Irving is under a serious accusation. Murder, to be precise.” He turned to Vivian, “give us the legal details.”She raised her chin, “Today being the nineteenth of April, Mrs Leah Irving was served papers on the accusation of her former acquaintance, Kate.” She paused, “Although there has been no official arrest, she was invited to the station to make a statement. As at one pm, Mrs Leah was present at the station, and at two-thirty the interview began. An hour later, she was released. Under normal circumstances, she was to be in a cel
