LEAH

The 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

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   My escape plan.

    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.”

  • 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.Three weeks had gone by since the passing of my parents, and we had finally arrived at their funeral.Lucas kissed my forehead, as he wrapped his arms around me.I touched his palm, trying to give a sense of peace.“I still don't know how I was able to plan this entire thing,” I admitted out loud, “at first, I thought I wouldn't be able to move, or even talk.”“You did this because you're tough, and strong. Your parents would be so proud of you.” Lucas added,I smiled gently at him, and he placed his lips on mine. “Thank you for everything,” I thanked him.He simply nodded, and murmured a reply.Throughout the preparations, he had been running around trying to ensure everything was perfect while I had given most of my focus to the grounds where my parents would be laid. I wanted them buried in my home, where I would always feel close to them. Lucas hadn't objected. In fact, he had even helped me get the men to dig the grounds.The bell rang, gaining our attention.“I think it'

    LEAHTime had been moving fast. Two months had gone by since my parents died, and my father betrayed me. What else was I supposed to do? 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

    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?

    LEAHI 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.“My sunshine,” L

    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 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

    LEAHAt the mention of my name, I ran towards the door. Kate was glaring at Lucas who had his hands in his pockets. “Trending? What do you mean she's trending?” Kate asked,“Don't you have a phone? Check it out.”I watched still as Kate brought out her phone. Her brows creased as she scrolled through.“Who brought this up?” Kate asked, running down the stairs. Her fingers clenched and her slippers fell from her feet.“This is bad. This is really bad. Why are they talking about her all of a sudden?”Kate asked, pacing around.“I don't know. Someone just pointed out that she hasn't been seen since the death of her parents and they're worried that I am mistreating her.”Kate side eyed him. “Did anyone see you with Martina last night?”“How does that have anything to do with this?”“Don't be stupid Lucas. That has everything to do with this! If someone had seen you cheating on your wife then they would definitely ask about it! Didn't you think of that before going out? Or were you too ob

    KATEI would never have believed that Lucas would betray me in such a way! Me! After all we had been through!After years of waiting for him. After years of plotting and planning. I had given up every man that had come my way. I had made myself Leah's pet. Yes, I wanted revenge, but I wasn't ready to act on it until he brought up the idea. He made it seem like he was doing me a favour.He told me to wait for him. He told me he would stand by me! I was carrying his fucking child! And then he left me for another woman? Not just any other woman. Martina! Everyone knew who Martina was-the public hoe. She was tossed around different men. None of the women wanted her around their husbands.How did I let this pass me by? How had I been so stupid as to let him wander off? I should have known. I should have been wiser. I should have been more careful, but I was stupid enough to let him get full access to all the funds and properties! Now he felt inevitable.I threw my shoe under the bed as I

    LEAH“Are you fucking kidding me, Lucas?” Kate's voice jolted me from my sleep.I wiped my eyes, only to realize I had slept off on the kitchen floor.“Are you seriously fucking kidding me?!” Her screams erupted again, and I stood up.I looked at the wall clock, only to realize it was almost midnight. Kate had returned. Wasn't she supposed to be spending her weekend somewhere?“Who was that woman?” Kate's uptight voice pulled my attention once more.I looked at the door. I could hear their footsteps grow closer. I tiptoed towards the door, trying to get a clearer view of the ongoing drama.“Who is she?” Kate asked, her arms bent akimbo. Lucas was hovering over her, and I watched as she, with her protruding stomach, raised her chin at him.Her face was swollen, and although her jaw was locked, I could tell she was holding back tears.“I asked you a question, who is she?” She asked, again.Lucas dipped his hands into both of his pockets, and took a deep breath.“She is not important.”

    LEAHMy body had accustomed to getting up as early as four am, so I only had the benefit of a two hour sleep.I wiped my eyes, and I nuzzled words even I couldn't understand. As I stood up from the slim, scrunchy bed, I dusted my skirt.I picked up my shoes, and was about to walk out when I recalled what had happened last night.Lucas had a girlfriend?I passed by the door. Had I been dreaming or was that real? I couldn't even tell. I hissed as I walked towards the kitchen. It was probably a dream.I guess I had been wishing so much for negative things to happen to them that I had somehow created a version of them where Lucas was a cheat. As soon as I approached the kitchen, I turned the lights open. I paused in shock. The same red bull can I had seen last night was on the table, and so was the half eaten pizza. I wasn't hallucinating! Lucas was a two-faced, deceitful, conniving, cheat! I knew it!I threw my fist in the air, jumping with excitement. I was right! I was so fucking ri
