The Billionaire Heiress’s Return

When she was discharged from the hospital, she got welcomed back with a divorce paper from her husband. Unable to face the pains and humiliation, she went back home, but it was too late. Her family had already disowned her. She had no choice than to make a phone call which she never thought she would make after what she did years ago.

Chapter: Acceptance
*Popular billionaire’s daughter, Zara Wellington, was spotted back in California with Harry woods, after being away for more than two years.* A picture of them coming out of the restaurant was displayed at the bottom of the caption. The post was made few minutes ago but it had thousands of likes already and hundreds of comments. With shaky fingers, she clicked the comments and the first comment stabbed through her heart like a sharp blade.“Is this really Zara or an imposter? She looks round like a ball.” As she scrolled through the other comments, tears bricked at the corner of her eyes. She couldn’t find a positive comment. All the comments were either mocking her about her fat body, or how unkept she looked. She quickly wiped the tears away from her eyes when she heard Harry call her name.“Are you crying?” He was engrossed on his phone earlier but he heard her sobbing and it was confusing because everything seemed fine few minutes ago.“No, I’m not.” Her voice betrayed h

Chapter: A desperate lady
Immediately Zara heard those words, Relief washed over her. “Thank goodness.” She muttered under her breath. She almost smirked at the bodyguard who looked disappointed probably because his boss canceled the meeting, but she decided he wasn’t worth it. When he walked out of the restaurant, she exhaled. Harry also returned to his seat, which was directly opposite hers.“Thank you.” She flashed him a light smile. On a normal day, she wouldn’t be smiling at him, but she had something serious and she had to keep their little beef behind.“So what was the reason you left London?” Harry asked, as he picked a fork. Brown eyes followed the movement of the fork and when it landed on the sliced pineapple close to her, she almost yelled out, but she quickly controlled herself.“I caught my husband cheating.” She revealed. She didn’t expect Harry to show his surprise, but she also didn’t expect him to remain calm, slowly munching on the pineapple. His act was nonchalant and she wonder

Chapter: The busy CEO
At that moment, she felt the ground should open and swallow her. She had never been embarrassed all her whole life.She lifted her head up and when her eyes came in contact with his, her fists clenched. His gaze was mocking and intimidating and if she didn’t need his help, she would have mocked him with words.“What’s all this fuss for by the way?” She asked, pointing at the helicopters.“Don’t want to be caught in traffic.” As Harry replied, his gaze was fixed on his Patek Philippe grandmaster chime wrist. “How can I help you, Mrs Zara? I can’t waste another minute standing here with you.” Zara barely heard what he said. The sound coming from the helicopters didn’t make Harry’s words audible, but she was still able to pick some from it.“Can we go to somewhere cool to talk and maybe get food? I’m hungry.” After saying those words, Zara bit her lower lip, praying not to get ridiculed by Harry. They’ve always hated each other and Harry wouldn’t care if she was hungry or not, but

Chapter: A call for help
Felix was perplexed by her sudden boldness. His wife was never the type of woman to go against him or any of his words. Zara Wellington was known to be bold and outspoken, but while with Felix, she was another version of herself. She’d turned calm and tried to please him by doing anything he asked for. Unfortunately, all those didn’t make him fall in love with her.“I’ll get another one. Be ready to sign them, else…” He trailed off, his tone threatening. When Zara didn’t say a word, he stormed off the room. As soon as he left the room, Zara took a deep breath. It was hard holding back her tears, but she had to do it. Yes, she loved him so much, to the point of sacrificing everything for him, but now that she realized who he truly was, she would try to kill the feelings she had for him and make him pay for wasting her life.******* ‘No place like home’ Indeed, the saying wasn’t just an exaggeration. As Zara steeped out of the plane, she could feel the wave of fresh air.

Chapter: The papers
When Zara opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the white ceiling above her head. She tried to turn, but couldn’t, and that was when she noticed the drip connected to her left hand. She tried to recall what happened and the last thing she could remember was yelling her husband’s name before she passed out. And upon waking up, she found herself in the hospital dressed in a blue long gown. The pain in her abdomen had subdued, but it was still there. She was weak, but her body felt lighter than before, like something heavy had been taken off her. Her eyes were at the verge of closing, when someone walked into the ward. The white coat worn by the lady and the stethoscope around her neck gave an hint of who she was. Zara fought back the drowsiness and tried to sit upright but couldn’t, the doctor had to help her.“How are you feeling, ma?” The lady asked.“I don’t know.” She replied, her voice unusually low. “My stomach hurts.” She noticed how the doctor’s eyes

Chapter: Caught in the act
“Thank you.” Zara muttered to the taxi driver as soon as she stepped out of the car. The man flashed her a smile and drove away, leaving her standing with the grocery bag in her hand and her big baby bump. She sighed heavily and walked to the house. When she got to the entrance door, she tried to open it with her key, but surprisingly, the door wasn’t locked. Her brows furrowed. “Did someone break in?” She muttered, as she took out her phone, ready to dial the cops number if she found anything suspicious. She only lived with her husband and they both weren’t seen at home by this time of the day. She owned a small supermarket two streets away, and her husband worked for a small firm, from seven to nine pm. She wasn’t feeling too well, so she decided to close for the day and come back home to relax. Slowly, she walked into the house, at alert. When she got far inside the house, she heard some noises coming from the room three meters away. At first, she thought she was i

Beatrice came out of the bathroom and didn't see Brandon in the room.She had changed into one of Brandon's bathrobe and a towel was tied around her hair. She sat on the bed and started thinking."I don't know if I am making the right choice right now, like seriously did I do the right thing forgiving him?Well, it wasn't his fault tho, it absolutely wasn't. I am afraid the person who framed me might do something bad now that we are back together, and also I am curious to know what Brandon's dad is hiding. I should probably call him"She searched around and didn't see her phone, that was when it dawned on her that she had forgotten it in Brandon's car."And where on earth is Brandon" She muttered and stood up.She walked to the door and held the handle, she was about opening it when it opened and Brandon walked in."Speak of the devil, here you are".Brandon smiled, he walked in

I overheard him talking to someone on the phone, he said..." She paused, she didn't think it was right to say it because she had made a promise not to tell anyone."He said what?" Brandon asked curiously."Nothing, afterall a promise is a promise. But you should be careful out there, and please take care of yourself. I don't want my daughter to become fatherless"."That

CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL

"Do anyone have reasons why this couples shouldn't get married?" The priest had asked.

"We are against this union." One of them said grumpily. "Who-who are you... And why-why are you against this union?" The priest managed to ask.

Chapter: An imposter?
Axel moved his hand away from her hair. He had a confused look on his face. Ever since she returned from the mission, he could tell something was off about her, but he just didn’t know what it was. And suddenly asking for time alone proved his suspicions right.“You aren’t okay being here?” Rebecca shook her head. “Not that. I just need some time alone to reflect on myself.” “You don’t have time Rebecca, you need to get your father’s properties as fast as you can, hence you’ll lose it forever.” He warned, his eyes narrowing.“How?” She questioned curiously.“You don’t need to know about that. You just have to…”“That’s the problem, Axel.” She cuts in. “It’s frustrating how you keep leaving me in the dark and still want me to cooperate. If you’re really helping me, then I don’t think you should hide stuff like this from me. At this point, I think you are more concerned about yourself and whatever you are doing now is only going to benefit you and…” she stopped to catch her breat

Chapter: She’s acting strange
She wanted to have a private talk with Fernando, something Axel and Kira wouldn’t know about. Besides, she wasn’t in the mood to continue with the mission, she would do what she came here for initially. She picked the smashed buds from the floor and went to flush it in the toilet to avoid suspicions. When she was done, she washed her face with water and took a breath. As she returned to the study room, Fernando had his gaze on her.“You promised you weren’t going to cry.” He said, upon noticing the water on her face.“I didn’t.” She replied calmly. “About what you were saying, do you have any idea on who wanted him dead, and why?” Those were the questions bothering her. If it really wasn’t an accident then they had to be a reason for it. Fernando cleared his throat and the two men at the door left the room immediately, leaving only her with him. He shifted closer to the edge of the couch and placed his hands on his laps. “What I’m about to tell you will come as a shock

When she got to where the men were, they pointed guns at her. “Who are you?” They asked in unison.“I am Rebecca Lu…”“Don’t.” She heard Kira’s voice from the bus. “Don’t say your surname.”“I am Rebecca.”One of the men scoffed. “Who cares about your fucking name?”“But you asked who I was and…”“Your identity!” He said firmly. “Is the boss expecting you?” “No, I…” Their grips on their gun tightened. “Then what are you doing here?”“Can you please call him and let him know Rebecca is here? Please.” To her surprise, they didn’t bulge. She watched as the guy touched the bud in his ear and spoke to whoever was at the other end.“Rebecca who?” She kept quiet, waiting for Kira to tell her what to say, since she stopped her earlier from saying her surname.“The daughter of his late friend, Michael.” She repeated what Kira told her. She noticed how the men observed her as she said that, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. The men exchanged looks after one of them whi

Immediately Rebecca heard that, she pushed Kira’s hands off her shoulders and moved back. Her brows furrowed, forming wrinkles and from the look on her face, one could tell she was displeased by what she just heard.“You planned this with Axel, right?” She accused.“No. Axel doesn’t know about this, he doesn’t even care about the pregnancy…”“Then why do you care? Why do you want me to get rid of it?” She fired. Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “Here we go. This is why I never wanted to agree to help you.”“So getting rid of my baby is your definition of help?” She scoffed. “Make it make sense.”“Yes. The child belongs to Eric, and nothing can be hidden under the sun. He’s definitely going to find out one day, and that’s like an advantage to him cause with the child he has high possibilities of taking over your father’s properties.” Kira explained detailedly. Rebecca wasn’t still convinced, not for a bit. “Who is going to tell him? You? Axel? Aside both of you no one else

Chapter: An alliance
Rebecca stood there in silence, contemplating on what to do. From Axel’s recent behavior, she began doubting if he really wanted to help her, or he needed her to accomplish his goals, because everything was always about him. But then, she didn’t have anywhere else to go, or who to help her. A thought suddenly crossed her mind. Fernando! He was a very good friend of her dad, and she was sure he would help her if she came clean to him. But then, how would she locate him? She turned, scanning the environment with her eyes, and her gaze landed on Axel who was at the shooting range alone. Taking a deep breath, she approached him just when he was about to shoot.“Hey.” She cooed. He spared her a stare before focusing on what he was doing.“I’m sorry about earlier. I just…” she inhaled deeply. “I just didn’t know what to do. Fernando was so nice to me and dad and hearing about him after a long time might have sparked my reaction.” He didn’t reply her. He had his gaze focuse

Chapter: Not a tool
She was taken aback by his request. Steal? She had never stolen anything and Axel knew that. But what could the thing be and why didn’t Axel send someone else? Many thoughts filled her mind as she waited for him to explain further. She wrapped her hands around her breasts, not because she was shy, but because she suddenly felt cold. She clenched her thighs tightly, trying so hard to surpress the urge to grab Axel and make him do the dirtiest stuff she had in mind. Axel didn’t speak, there was a deafening silence between them and she knew he wouldn’t say anything if she refused to speak first.“Steal what?” He moved closer to her. “I’ll tell you full details later, but for now….” He grabbed her neck roughly and a light gasped escaped her lips. “Let’s make you cum.” With his hand still on her neck, he pushed her to the wall and her back hit the wall roughly.“Shouldn’t we go to a room.” She asked beneath her breath. She was already feeling the tension.“Why would
