All Chapters of His Ex-wife Is An Heiress: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

It was around 3 in the early morning, Amara stood in front of her window, looking out with her phone presses against her ear.Behind her were carton boxes, lined up in front of her bed.Minutes after she had placed the call, the line connected and Lorenzo’s voice filled her ear.“Amara? Jesus Christ, Amara, it’s 3 in the morning. Is everything okay?”She was silent. Blankly, she stared at the window, catching her devoid expression from across the glass.“I want to come home, Lorenzo.” Her voice was rough, showing signs that she had cried.“You what? Hold on,” There subtle clicking sound, then the sound of sheet rustling before Lorenzo spoke again. “Mara, talk to me, is everything okay?”“Yes, I just…I just want to come home.”“But you still have about three months left there. And what happened to protesting against coming home when the time run

An address was immediately sent after the text message. Amara’s grip on her phone tightened as she felt all the fear she had been warding off, concerning Duncan’s situation, come true.She couldn’t believe it. It was one thing when that bastard tried hurting her, but now, Duncan, someone who wasn’t in any part related or part of her mess, was now being dragged down her rabbit hole and being held hostage.She didn’t know why Tobias would go to such length, nor did she care. She had to save Duncan.“Amara, is something wrong?”She looked up from her phone as soon as she heard Elijah’s voice and fixed her expression when she noticed how tight it had become.“Yeah, Everything is fine,” She locked her screen and placed it face down on the table, flashing him a fake smile in the process. “Just these spam messages, they’ve been coming a lot as of late. Annoying things might I tell you

“I heard Ms. Miller bagged another deal of over a billion dollars.”Gathered in the cafeteria of Synergy, the employees gossiped amongst themselves during lunch break.Immediately after the first employee had said that, another employee joined in, saying, “Yes, that’s not all, the company just released an article announcing the opening of another office in Russia. It seems as though Ms. Miller isn’t holding back, she’s expanding.”“That’s right,” Someone else joined in, “Ms. Miller is really proving to be more capable than we had expected. I can’t believe I doubted her when that stupid rumor broke out.”“I agree with you and not only that, I think the CEO should have given her the reins earlier, she’d have turned Synergy into a multi-billion dollar company by now.”“Yes, I agree.”The table broke into a heated conversation, unaware of the executive that stood a distance away.Listening to all the praises that was being showered on Amara, his hand tightened around the coffee cup he hel

Amara was having dinner later that day when her phone screen lit up with a phone call.A tight smile formed on her lips as soon as she read the name. She swiped right to answer the call and placed the device against her ear.“Grandfather, good evening.”“Hello Amara, Lorenzo told me about your recent decision. Do you really want to come home, child?”“Yes Grandfather. Once I close the deal here, I’ll be home in a few days. I apologize for the trouble I’ve cost you in the past few years.”Elvis sighed. “It’s alright, I’m just glad you’ve come to your right senses. As for your engagement with-““Grandfather, please, I’m not ready for any sort of relationship right now. Six years of negligence can’t be fixed just because you think your friend’s son is the best man in the world. Please understand me.”There was silence on the other

Touch down took a few hours, but the moment Amara arrived in Italy, she was heavily welcomed by the people and staff of her home.Lined up in a straight line, several bodyguards and staffs, all dressed in black well tailored suits, bowed at the waist as soon as they saw her.“Welcome home, Ms. Crawford!”Amara smiled. Although it had been years since she last received treatment like this, she was no stranger to it.“Thank you, everyone.” She greeted and they straightened up, all looking a bit elated by her presence.“It’s great to have you back, Ms. Crawford. How was the trip?” Xavier, the head butler asked.“Of course it was good!” A voice interrupted before Amara could speak.She snapped her head in the direction it had came from and a smile painted her entire face the movement she saw her grandfather, Elvis, walking towards her.“Grandfather,”“We
