RISE OF THE FORGOTTEN HEIRESS Chapter Thirty Eight
LEINA The whole ballroom freezes, like the devil himself had just walked in. My father instantly goes pale like he's seen a ghost. Damien stalks towards me, his aura dripping with so much anger that it causes the room temperature to go up. Everyone in the room is staring at him, but his gaze is solely on me. “Who hit you?" He murmurs, placing a hand on my cheek. His gaze is dark and filled with something I've never seen before. Barely restraint anger. I shake my head, not wanting the gala to get ruined. Mama always cherished this event, and she won't want violence here. Unfortunately, my husband does not share my sentiment. He pulls me in his arm and turns to the crowd. “I said, who dares lay a fucking hand on My Wife?" Ivy's eyes are practically the size of a small planet. She opens her mouth but no words come out. After a few tries, she finally speaks, her voice broken with shock. " Damien…we are…we are engaged! What do you mean she is your wife?" The disbelief in her voice m

LEINA It's not until Damien speaks that I realize just how hard I have been clenching my hands. I slowly release them and force a smile. " Let's go in and greet everyone,” I say and we both step into the ballroom. I hear the whispers as I walk past, whispers that never fade. I give less fucks about them now than I did then. I walk with my head high and approach my father basking in his little bubble of attention like a girl on her sweet sixteen. " Leina, honey,” he calls out with a smile as I make my way towards him with a forced smile. " So good you could make it!” I nod." Greetings Mr Ashford, it's good to see you still hold the memories of your dead wife dear. You know the charity galas were one of the highlights of her year.” His expression darkens for a while and something flashes through, so fast that I can't make out what it is. He smiles and nods. " Of course, dear. The charity gala is the biggest event of the company's year.” I nod, my eyes scanning the crowd absent mi

LEINA Lemi Clinton is one the most hardworking people I know. As the CFO of the company, she played a major role especially when it came to the finances of the company. But today, right now, I really hate her. But I don't tell her that. Rather I smile and straighten up my dress to hide the obscene happenings below my desk. " O…of…of course. Please have a seat.” She smiles and walks to my desk and sits down. I open my mouth to ask her what she wants, but a moan is what escapes instead. I cover it up with a cough. Damien inserts one finger in my pussy while he focuses on my clit, sucking and nibbling. “You don't look too well, Leina. Should I go and come another time?" Lemi suggests but I shake my head, not trusting myself to open my mouth and not moan. Lemi usually directs all issues via email. If she's in my office then it must be something of urgency. I close my eyes and try to regain some control. When I speak again, my voice is surprisingly steady." Thank you for your concer

LEINA “Where did you find this?” I ask. "I didn't want to tell you earlier, but when I went to the hospital to confirm my pregnancy, I saw Clara there. I was curious so I asked the doctor. She wouldn't say until I had to lie about being Clara's sister. Turns out Clara was there for an abortion, and that was the third this year.” Marcus! Clara has always adored children and that's probably the only thing I found likable about her back then. There's no reason she will go for an abortion willingly. I find myself wondering if I really misjudged her all these while? Has there been something going on right under my nose and I failed to see? " Thanks, Nat.” I tell her and she nods. She rises to her feet. " I should get going. I have an appointment and Louis is coming with me,” she says. She picks up her purse, blows me a kiss and walks out the door. I rub my temple and reach for my bottle of water. I take large gulps of the water till it's half finished. Other things aside, I have a l

Leina Growing up, I always saw Clara as a bad person. She always got the love and attention from father while I was pushed to the side. He paid my tuition, fed me and took care of me. But the fatherly love was never present. He always had an excuse when it came to something that concerned me. Not my school events, graduation or picnics. I wasn't jealous of her but somehow I hated her. But seeing her seated at the dinning table opposite me, feeding her child with the love only a mother can carry, I realize there's more to her than I know.“The charity gala is tonight," she says suddenly. " Marcus is going to be mad if he can't find me. He already called several times but I didn't pick any of his calls.”There's a slight tremble in her voice, the kind that I've never and could never associate with her. She's always been strong and sassy and rude. Who knew it was just a cover up. “You can't go back to Marcus," I tell her. “Look at what he's done to you." She shakes her head slowly,

DAMIEN The room is quiet except for the low hum of the heater and the occasional creak of the old house settling. Leina’s curled on the bed, her breathing deep and even, finally resting after days of strain. I sit in the armchair near the window, phone in hand, nursing my shoulder and trying not to wake her.I'm going through emails when my phone screen lights up. Carlos.I answer on the first ring, keeping my voice low. “This better be good.”There’s a pause, then Carlos exhales sharply. “ Damien, you are not going to like this.”My grip tightens. “Say it.”“It’s about Leina’s mother. She's alive.”Every muscle in my body stills. I glance at the bed, at the woman sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware. My pulse hammers. “Ate you drunk, Carlos. Her mother died when she was little.”“That’s what everyone was told,” he says grimly. “But I just got word from a contact in Valencia. She’s alive. Or at least…there’s someone fitting her exact description being kept under tight watch in a

LEINA When I finally pull into Natalie's driveway, she’s already at the door, hair in a messy bun, robe cinched tightly around her waist. She looks…rattled. I don't miss the hickey marks all over her neck.My lips lift in a smirk. “Well, you have a right to be pregnant.” A pink hue covers her che

Damien Everything happens in a blur. One moment I'm staring at Leina and Ivy in the living room, the next, Ivy's lips are on mine. I push her away before things can escalate further. My gaze trails to Leina and the pain in her eyes guts me. “I've missed you, Dami,” Ivy says, wrapping her arms ar
