LEAH

I laid still, unable to move as my head banged.

I heard Kate walk up to me, and as soon as she saw my eyes open, she hissed.

“She's alive,” she said to Lucas.

“I knew that already. You were panicking for nothing.” His nonchalance was all too obvious.

I felt the tears brimming up in my eyes.

“Get up!” Kate barked at me,

When I didn't move, she stomped my legs with her shoes.

I whimpered, as I crawled my way up.

Tears had formed on my eyes, and I could feel my bones jittering as I rose to my feet.

She sneered as she crossed her arms around me.

Lucas moved forward, and placed an arm on her shoulder. I watched as he kissed her forehead.

The same man that had claimed that I was the best thing that had happened to him was kissing another woman right before me.

I watched as he kissed her neck, and she moaned, grabbing his shirt.

He chuckled, then buried his nose in her neck. “Babe,” he called,

“Yes,” we both answered.

I covered, bowing my head as they both glared at me.

    LEAHI couldn't believe it! She was here! I smiled broadly, wrapping my arms around her. “Thank God you're here, I didn't think I'd ever see you again.” I sighed into her shoulders.Her presence felt like a breath of fresh air. At least she would return stability to the craziness that was going on.I had expected her to pat my back, and tell me all would be fine, but she simply pushed me off. “Get off me!” She thundered at me,I jumped back in surprise, “mom…”“I am not your mother.” She ground out, casting a glare on me, “where is my son?” She asked, walking into the house.My shoulders fell and my mood faltered as I followed her. She walked in, placing her bag on the couch. I couldn't understand what was going on. How did everyone turn their backs on me? What had I done wrong?I watched her sneer as she looked at the room, “why is this place such a mess?” She asked, turning around. I couldn't muster up the courage to answer. This wasn't what Lucas's mother acted like. What had got

    LEAHThis just had to be the worst day of my life. In the entire day, I had been subscepted into having only one meal, and four glasses of water. My throat was itching, and I was feeling faint, but there was so much work to do.Kate had ensured I was to clean, and scrub every inch of the house. The same house I had bought with my own money!I wiped my nose, trying to focus on the job at hand.I had cried, and whimpered, but there was no hope. I cried for the loss of my parents. I cried for my father, and his betrayal. I cried for my mother. My tears had expired, and my head was spinning, but I still had so much to do.Kate and Lucas had fired off all the workers-gardeners inclusive, and I had no choice but to take up everything.Lucas's mother's words rang in my head, “even if you run away, who will you run to? You have no one. Not a single person cares about you.”There had been no truer words. I had no one. The only family I had was gone, and the people who had been the closest thin

    LEAHAs soon as I turned around, every feeling in my stomach dilated. I watched as he had a frown on his face, and a beer in the other hand.Lucas was always one to be found with a beer, but never found drunk. Most times,he didn't even ooze it. I dropped the rags in my hands, “I don't have the energy to be beaten up one more time,” I said out loud.I watched as he raised a brow, but then his eyes fell in realization as he saw my face and the way I held my arm.I expected him to cackle or ignore me, but he didn't.“I’m sorry,” he said,I paused. I looked around, trying to see who could be watching us for him to use such a nice word on me.“Why?”“You're confused, and I get it.” He said, walking forward.I took three steps backwards. He noticed, and paused. “I won't take a step closer,” he saidy raising both his arms.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Why was he being nice to me?“Have you eaten today?” He asked, “you look famished,”I shook my head. He groaned, and then dropped

    LEAH. “Tell me Leah, in these few days that we’ve been apart, haven't you missed me?”My heart skipped, Once, twice. Thump, thump. I wanted to think rationally, I wanted to think like a normal person in the situation. Why on earth was Lucas suddenly interested in me? After all the maltreatment I had gone through? After all he had done to me?I didn't want to be anywhere near him, but I was betrayed by my heart. My body craved him. The one person it shouldn't.How disgusting could I be? The man that had shown me hell, just in the space of a few weeks, was now offering an olive branch, and here I was, wanting to grasp at it with everything in me. How pathetic was that? How pathetic was it that I still wanted him this much?“No, I haven't.” I said with the little shred of dignity left in me. “I haven't missed you,” I ground out. I couldn't let this man take everything from me. Literally all I had was already in his position.“What are you saying?” He asked, flinching back, with surp

    LEAH. “What is going on?” I heard an all too familiar voice ask.I looked past Lucas to see his wife, Kate. The woman who had meant the most to me.As I watched her approach us, I realized the memories between us would never fade. She would always be etched permanently on a side of my brain, and her presence would hurt every time.I had taken her as my sister, and family, but it seemed to me that she wasn't appreciative of that. She didn't take our friendship for what it was, she saw me as something else. I still couldn't understand what she meant when she said my parents had been the reason for the loss of hers. They had literally taken her in even when she had nothing!I sighed…If Kate so dearly believed that my parents were responsible for the death of her loved ones, I would ensure that I proved her wrong. No one loved her as much as my family and I did.“What's going on?” She repeated, as the silence lingered.“It's your best friend.” Lucas snorted, his eyes never leaving mine

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   Hard to get.

    LEAH. I woke up to the dogs barking and the birds singing. I felt so cold; I looked around and saw how bright the day was, only to remember what happened the previous night: I was thrown out. I looked at where I had slept; it was out in the cold, on the bare floor—something I had never done in my life. I touched my arm, trying to wipe off the dust. If only I had gotten the chance to wear an appropriate cloth for the night, maybe I would have felt better than I was currently feeling.Although I wanted to cry out, I didn't. It wasn't that I was strong, or extremely brave, but I just had to spite Kate and Lucas. I couldn't let them see me cry, or be weakened. They didn't deserve it. If I cried, it'd make her feel like she had successfully broken me, and I would rather die than watch the satisfaction on her face. I dusted my body and sighed. As I walked to the tree shed and waited for the door to be opened for me, I pondered on the things I could do to leave the horrendous situation t

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   The announcement.

    LEAH “I'm sorry to inform you, but…” the doctor's words trailed off as he spoke. I didn't need to listen to the rest of his words to know what he would say. I had heard this all too often. Five years of trying, and giving my best, just to get the same news repeatedly. I tried pulling myself out of my thoughts and tried focusing on him. “As I said earlier, your uterus is not fit for childbirth,” he explained, and I could swear I heard my heart crack. I wiped my eyes with the back of my palm. My lips quivered but I couldn't find the words to speak. My husband, Lucas, wrapped his arms around me. “I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Please don't cry, please stop crying.” He muttered the words into my ear. For some reason beyond explanation, his words only fueled the tears. The dam broke even further and my vision blurred as the tears poured fiercely. Last time, I had promised myself that I wouldn't cry if I lost another baby, but here I was bawling like a baby. “

    LEAH.My fears were indeed confirmed. My parents were the victims of the car crash.For twenty six hours, I had been sitting in the hallways of the hospital. The one place I wanted to leave so badly had found a way to trap me in.I watched as nurses sprang into and out of the intensive care unit. I wanted to stop one, and ask about the wellbeing of my parents, but I held myself back. My last three trials had been futile.Lucas' hands were clasped, and his jaw was locked. He hadn't moved an inch in over an hour, but I could tell he was deep in thought.“Hey,” I called out to him. He turned to face me, and his reddened eyes were all I could see. In all the twenty six hours we'd been here, he hadn't slept. I couldn't either.“How are you?” He asked, pulling himself closer to me. His hands brushed through my hair.“I'm fine,” I sniffed.He searched my eyes, and I hid nothing. “You do know they will be fine, right? Your parents are the strongest couple I have ever seen. They'll survive.”

    LEAH At the revelation of his affair, I expected a little bit of remorse, or even surprise. He huffed his shoulders, placing his hands on his hips. “Did you really not know about this?” He asked, I was too stunned to speak. Seeing the reaction on my face, he chuckled, “you actually believed I loved you.” His chuckle turned into a full laughter. He wiped his eyes, grinning, “let's be serious, Leah. You actually believed I loved you?” I opened my mouth to speak, but I was at a loss for words. Wasn't that the point of a marriage? “Give me my phone,” he demanded. With no resistance, I handed it over. I was too stupefied to even think of words. How was I just finding out? How did I miss the signs? “How long has this been going on?” I asked, He was putting on a fresh pair of clothes. “It's best you don't know,” “I need to know.” I ground out, “how long has this been going on?” He grunted. “Fine. If you want to know, Kate and I have been in love for three years.” “Three years?

I accepted my fate.Kate had followed through on her words in helping with the surrogacy. I tried talking her out of it, but she was hell bent on doing it.I sighed, pulling out the page from my book. “Fuck,” I muttered, moulding the page into a bowl. I tossed into the trash can, and as expected, missed.I hissed, walking off my bed. I had unofficially given Lucas the permission to take over as CEO. If my father thought he was good enough to take everything while I was just some ornamental part of his life, I wouldn't go against his wishes.I looked outside the window, awaiting their arrival.For two months, I had pushed off my father's brothers and today, I had finally decided to host them. It was time to clear the air.As I looked out the window, I saw two cars pull up. Soon enough, three more followed. They were arriving in their numbers. Good
