The return of the billionaire heiress. Preparation.
LEAHAs I pondered on his words, I considered the possibility of what he had said. Truly, there could be a foul play.I snapped my fingers, nodding as the piece all came together in my head.“Ah! I get it now!” I exclaimed out,Phlux’s attention was pulled, “what do you get now?”“Your claim of foul play. It explains why, when I was held captive in that house with his soon to be baby mama, they would always hide her when we had guests. They would make me come out to pretend I was still his wife. I always wondered why he needed them to think we were still married and happy, even when he had all that money. It all makes sense now...”“You see? His attorney must be really good for him to be able to come up with such a brilliant idea. However, things like this have happened before and failed.”“We really need to take him down. The fact that he's a deceitful liar, and abuser is enough for him to be ruined.” I growled out,“You might want to keep your emotions aside for now. If you want to

LEAH“ I understand what you're saying,” I reply, “I've lived with the man myself and I can tell how nasty he can get to protect his greed.”“Exactly.”I sighed, taking the last sip of my drink. I looked around, searching for where I could dump the cup. As soon as he noticed, he retrieved it from my hands.“Mr Phlux, thank you for your time, but I need to look at other things. There are some things that I need to set in place before I set the plan to motion.”“That's alright,” he replied.I had expected him to press on, wanting to know all that was going on, but he didn't. I wouldn't have told him either way.“Is there a way to reach out to you when I need your help?”“Of course,” he replied, pulling out his card.I received it, stared at the golden edge lamination, and placed it in my pocket.“Should I drive you back to your place?” He offered,I shook my head, “I'm good, thanks.” With that, I stepped out of the car. I quickly crossed by the road, and headed for my street. Luckily,

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

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.

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,

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?

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

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.”

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
