The return of the billionaire heiress. A state of confusion
LEAH. “Hm?” I asked, pretending I hadn't heard them.“The company,” my uncle replied, stuffing bacon in his mouth.I watched as he munched on it without mercy.“The company is good. We've been setting some things on track, and everything is up, and running.”“That's good,” he replied, dropping his fork. Our eyes met. “Are you alright, Leah?” He asked,The intensity of his eyes made me want to crawl into his arms, as I used to as a child.I felt the tears growing in my eyes, but I blinked them back.“If you've not recovered from the trauma of losing your parents, we can always help run things for a while. You will always have Lucas with you,” he turned to Lucas, “won't she?”Lucas sent a tight smile, giving off the silent husband he had been portraying. I wiped my nose gently.As I looked around the table, I realized one thing. No one cared about me in this place. Not my husband, nor my best friend, nor my uncles that I had even thought would come to my rescue. They were only after my

KATE. Leah definitely knew how to get me on my toes, she has been very good at it ever since high school. Her decisions always affected me but mine never did. I was so sure that she would tell on us to her uncles, I had already packed my bags. Even Lucas's mother was already shivering because we knew she would talk and that would be the end of us, but she didn't. Why?That was my problem now, I could have sworn that she would talk. I could have sworn that she would expose us to her uncles but she didn't and it got me worried. Knowing Leah, I knew she wanted us to think it was because of the kindness of her heart, but I knew better than to believe that. I mean, who would be that kind to us and after all the treatment we had given her?There had to be something. She had to have had a motive.I chewed on my nails, digging deeper.“She has to have a motive. There has to be something we are missing,” I whispered out into the air, trying to get my husband's attention.“Babe, can you stop

LEAH. The past few days have been less stressful for me. I had no idea why, but I liked it. Kate and Lucas had been more lenient on me, and as much as I felt like they were up to something, I decided to revel in it before they switched up to their old selves again. It would only be a while before they would rear their evil horns to disturb again. Well, in the meantime. At least, I didn't have to go to the kitchen. They now preferred their meals private. If they didn't order food, Lucas’s mother would cook and they would all eat. No one made demands of me making stupid foods. Although, I had to eat what I prepared. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't from the trash can either. I had been invisible and I would very much like to continue that way because that had been the easiest lifestyle I had had ever since my parents died. After a very stressful day, I was staying in the kitchen, waiting for Kate to dismiss me for the day. While I was waiting, I heard the click of heels. I raised

LEAH. “Did you see that?” Kate asked and I almost went insane. Oh lord. What was all these? I didn't want to be caught, I only wanted to see if there was something that could be done about my predicament. But here I was, plastering myself to the wall that was directly opposite them, so they won't see me. This was so fucked up. “I didn't see anything, you're just being delusional.” Lucas said in a stressed voice. “I'm very sure I just saw a shadow pass through.” She said and Lucas groaned. “Come on babe.” Lucas said, but I knew Kate. And was adamant and she wasn't going to let the issue go. "do you think it was a ghost?"“No, Leah.” She called my name and I didn't wait to hear the rest of what they had to say. I quickly ran to my room, avoiding the cameras at the same time. Oh lord, what if I appeared on any of the cameras while trying to be fast? I heard the click of heels coming behind me swiftly. I finally got to my door and I pulled it open so slowly and cautiously, so that i

LEAH. FLASHBACK. “I can tell that you like his guy.” Kate said to me as we walked to the next class we had and I frowned. “What do you mean? I never said anything about liking anybody.” I said, trying to hide the smile creeping up my face. I wasn't sure if I did like him or not. I mean, he had a good smile, and he seemed polite enough, but...“I'm not blind though, I see the way you look at him. The way he makes you blush.” Kate said and I smiled. “You can't be certain though. It could be anyone.” I said and she jumped at my arm. "ouch!" I screamed, playfully."oh, please," she rolled her eyes. "I would never hurt you intentionally.""yeah," I replied. that was the pact of our friendship. we never hurt each other. ever.“Is it somebody else?” She asked with so much joy in her voice and I wondered why she was so happy that it wasn't Lucas. “I'm not saying anything.” I told her and laughed. “I'm supposed to be your best friend but you won't even tell me anything, how is this fair

LEAH. FLASHBACK. I pushed the door into Bella’s open and I looked around to find my date. He was sitting at the far end of the cafe and I walked towards him with a smile on my face. I was almost an hour late, and I didn't know if he was going to be angry or not. I wanted to make a good first impression outside school, so I had to put my time into dressing properly because I didn't want him to feel like I didn't look good. It was Lucas, so it took a while for me to find the perfect dress to wear. I finally got the table he booked and I cleared my throat. He looked towards me and the moment he saw me, a smile appeared on his face immediately. He stood up and was about to hug me but he stopped and I raised my brow. Why did he stop? I asked myself. “Can I?” He asked and I rolled my eyes and nodded. “Of course you can.” I said and opened my arms to him. He smile and stepped into my embrace. Oh lord, he also smelled so freaking good. He was basically ticking all the boxes in my b
Last Updated : 2025-02-28The return of the billionaire heiress. I like him, a lot.
LEAH. After we finished eating, we were served with dessert. It was ice cream. I loved the mint flavour and Lucas tool the chocolate flavour. “So tell me, what do you like doing?” Lucas asked. “Oh well, I really do not do much. I just read, research and eat.” I told him and laughed. “Do you have hobbies?” He asked me and I nodded. “Everybody has an hobby. Mine is reading novels.” I told him and he nodded to himself. “Romantic novels, yes?” He asked and I nodded. “Yes.” I replied. “So you're a woman of high standards.” He said and I also nodded. “Yes.” I replied with a laugh. “Why do you feel like women that read novels are high standards?” I asked him. His eyes twinkled with amusement as he answered me. “Because, you can't be a woman that read mushy stuff and sweet things and then want below what you have imagined. Every woman as this imagination in their head, but women that read, their imagination is on another level. Some people count it as being delusional, but those wom
Last Updated : 2025-02-28The return of the billionaire heiress. an attitude
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

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

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
The return of the billionaire heiress. confrontation
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
The return of the billionaire heiress. A revelation
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
