The return of the billionaire heiress. the blogger
LEAHThe loud cranking of equipment around the house pulled me up from my sleep. Kate had let me have her room, and although I wanted to stay on the floor, she had insisted I slept on the bed. I knew it was all a part of her plot.Why hadn't I thought of this earlier? As long as I needed to make a public appearance, they would always feel the need to treat me properly. It was perfect.I slowly opened my eyes to find about five people in the room. I scrambled up quickly, but soon calmed down as I noticed all they had brought with them. Two make up boxes, a closet of dresses, and shoes.“Oh, you're awake. That's good!” Kate exclaimed as she walked towards me. She placed her palms on my face, and kissed my forehead. “Oh, poor thing. I hope you slept well?”I was too dazed to speak. How was this any part of her plan?“I did.” I finally managed to answer.“And how's the headache? Is it gone now?” She asked, and I nodded.She handed me a glass of water. I stared at it continually trying to

LEAH “What does Michael have to do with what we're talking about?” Kate asked with a stern voice. I could tell her tone had changed-slightly decreased. “What doesn't he have to do with this? You think I don't know he fucks you?” I gasped silently, covering my mouth. “You really think I don't know about your little sneaky links here and there? The money you steal from me to give to him. I'm not as dumb as you think, Kate. I see everything.” “Oh please, you're just trying to use him as a cover up for your infidelity. You know there's nothing going on between Michael and I. I haven't even seen the man in months!” “Oh really? What were you doing at the hotel where you caught me?” For the first time in the argument, Kate stuttered. “It was private.” She finally answered, “Of course it was private, because you were hoeing around. With a baby in you for that matter.” “That's enough!” Kate's voice thundered through the house, “ I won't have you disrespect or accuse me any further. Y

LEAHThe party was set to begin by ten pm, but Lucas and I had decided to arrive fashionably late.As he wove his hands through mine, leading the way into the hall, I felt my stomach churning. I could not get the image of him threatening to r.ape me out of my mind.What would have happened if Kate hadn't caught him cheating?All feelings of nostalgia I had felt earlier soon washed away. The man who had just kissed my forehead in front of the camera was the same man who had locked me in a closet for three days without any form of food. A wolf in sheep's clothing.I forced a smile on my face as soon as I saw the Blackwoods approaching us.A memory flashed in my head. Kate's voice rang through, “as you're going to this dinner tonight, always smile. Don't you dare give the public a glimpse of what is going on in this house. Your scars have been hidden, and don't you dare think you can escape me. There's no escape plan for you. Remember you have no child. If we don't get to keep the prop

LEAHI still couldn't find the right words to speak. Francis was right before me. In flesh.I looked from his head, and all the way to his hands. It truly was him, and he had barely aged a day!He had the same blonde hair I used to weave my hand through, and a wise smile.The nineteen year old Francis that I had known had grown into something so much better. He really did glow up.“You look so good,” he whispered, leaning towards me.“I was going to say the same thing,” I admitted,He smiled, and then I felt his eyes ravish my entire body.I noticed as my husband watched us from afar. His attention had diverted from the waitress he had been talking to.I took advantage of the situation, and fully faced Francis, giving him a clear view of my entire body.I didn't launch myself at him, but I could tell he knew what I was trying to do, and he leaned in.“Are you having issues with your husband?” He whispered in my ear and I nodded.He chuckled, brushing his lip with his tongue.Framcos h

LEAHFrancis looked around, before his eyes fell on me. I could see he was no longer looking at me with lust. His eyes held pure confusion and fear.He walked closer to me, covering most of the distance between us.“Leah, are you alright?”I held his eyes with mine. “No.”He took a step back, “okay, what's going on? Can you fill me in?”I watched him for a moment, then shook my head. “No.”I didn't know who I could trust just yet. I mean, this man just materialized out of nowhere, and although Lucas never liked him, I wasn't sure they were still enemies.“Were you present at my wedding?” I asked him,His face squeezed in confusion, “of course. What's that question for?” He asked, then he turned around. I could tell he was scared of being caught in a lonely situation with me, especially after what he had been through.In a way, I understood his point. I didn't want to endanger him, so I sighed.“You know what? Forget everything I said. Just go back into the hall, I'll meet you there.”

LEAHWe walked towards the car silently. Well,I was silent. Francis often tried to start up a conversation to which I didn't want to be part of.I was finally getting a chance to escape, and I didn't want to ruin it. I didn't have a full plan for survival but I at least knew what to do.First, I had to get away from Francis. That would be easy. All I just had to do would be getting him to a liquor store. Once he went in, I'd slip out of the car and be gone.Now, I was holding onto hope for the next part. Maybe he'd leave one of his cards or some cash behind that I'd be able to use to survive. If he didn't, I'd have to steal from someone else. I had never done it before, but there was no harm in trying.The media would announce my absence, but it wouldn't be soon enough. Maybe a week or more would have gone by.No, who was I kidding? I'd be lucky enough to get a day or two before Lucas made a fuss of his wife missing on the internet.I watched as a black Bentley drove up to us.The dri

LEAHI stood still as he wrapped his arms around me. Francis walked past us.“What were you doing outside?” He asked, looking around. His voice held a lot of excitement.Most people were looking at us.“I was feeling sick, so I decided to get some fresh air.” I replied,He gently grabbed my arm, and led me towards the tables.I watched as he poured me a glass, not saying another word. Others had returned their attention to the hosts.“Take it,” he handed the cup to me.I shook my head, “I'm good, thank you.”“Take. It.” He shoved it at me,Reluctantly, I received it.“Good.” He said,We both sat in silence as I drank the water.He looked around for a minute before facing me. I expected him to ask questions about Francis, but he didn't.He stood up and walked out. I looked around to find Francis sitting by himself. His attention was on his phone.Lucas had left the hall, and I was finally able to breathe properly.Francis soon walked up to me. “Hey, how are you feeling now?” He asked,

LEAHThe first whip of the belt nearly drove me mad. I covered my arm, but before I could even think better, he started wiping all around. Different strokes, and hits. He used his boots to stomp on my stomach.“Stupid bitch! You won't embarrass me! You won't!” He screamed as he kept wiping harder,I tried to stop the beating. I tried to hide the pain, but I couldn't. With every wipe, the pain grew fiercer. Unbearable. His buckle hit my teeth, and I felt something salty on my tongue.“Lucas please! Lucas! Please!” I pleaded with tear stained eyes,I could hear Kate and Stella discussing.“She deserves it. She has always been a misbehaved person,” I heard Kate say with excitement.“Yes, I've always told Lucas that she was trouble. Good for nothing!” Their words fueled Lucas and his strength doubled.He lifted me by the arm, and yanked me up. I got to my feet with pains all over my body.I watched as he stared at me in disgust. I tried to stifle my sobs, not wanting to enrage him even

The return of the billionaire heiress. Two lines, one truth.
LEAHI shook my hand off her grip. “The next time you threaten me, I will show you the clear difference between a woman born in wealth, and a woman who stole her way there. Don't test me.”With that, I pushed her hand off, and walked off.Her eyes followed me as I strolled out of the building. As soon as I got to the driveway, I took a pause, taking in a deep breath.Francis was a pimp. Yes, he was. How dare he go ahead and tell her about the kiss making it look like it was my fault?We both kissed each other. I didn't force myself on him. I had initiated it, but that didn't mean-“Leah!” A sharp voice called my name,I turned to find Xander sprinting towards me. As soon as he approached me, he quickly corrected himself, “sorry, Mrs Irving. I only called you by your first name-”“What can I do for you?” I asked, crossing both arms over my chest.I could still feel my cheeks flushed in anger.“Here,” he handed me a brown file.“What is this?” “The divorce papers.”“I just authorize
The return of the billionaire heiress. A threat
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. A parent
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. My dead body
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. Pain
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. what's your decision?
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. Unhealthy
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
