~Esperanza's POV~

"After you, my lady..."

My lady...

God. My cheeks were still burning.

But I was glad, at least, that they weren't brick red like earlier.

Diego's admiring gaze was spiralling in my head.

Slightly open mouth, cloudy eyes, and the lump sitting in his throat...

I thought I had overdone it, but his expressions and words confirmed that I was just overthinking.

Carlos never complimented me.

His sweet words only reached my ears when we used to be in bed and when I

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    168. A normal family

    ~Esperanza’s POV~The house felt different when I stepped in.It felt warm and light the same way I felt in chest. I paused near the entrance for a second, letting that feeling settle in, letting my shoulders drop just a little before I moved further inside.Small giggles reached my ears before I fully stepped into the living room.And there they were… sitting behind the couch, not caring what happening in front of its Diego was sitting on the floor with his back lightly resting against the couch. While Liam tried to explain something with dramatic hand movements that made no sense, Asher played with his car and Diego’s fingers at the same time. Asher randomly clapped. His tiny laugh breaking through every now and then like he understood everything his brother was saying.Diego didn’t interrupt. He didn’t correct. He just sat there and listened every word that came out of Liam’s mouth with full attention. Like this was a meeting he never wanted to miss. The heaviness in my finall

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    167. It’s super personal

    ~Esperanza’s POV~“Now, you are the naive ex-husband,” I chuckled. “But I don’t pity you.” I leaned forward slightly, opening my drawer and pulling out my iPad without breaking eye contact. “You should’ve come to me before you lost your footing,” I said calmly. His expression tightened slightly. “What are you-” I opened the video and turned the screen toward him. As soon as I pressed play, his eyes widened in horror. His cocky words finally seemed to disappear as his breath caught in his throat. He blinked his eyes rapidly to confirm what he was seeing was true and once he realised how doomed he was, he took the iPad from me. Soon Nicole’s loud moan came through it and he rushed to lower the volume. But lowering the volume wouldn’t help. It wouldn't explain why he did that. For the first time since he walked in he didn’t look in control.He looked like someone who has lost a war. A war that he started and I ended. “This… This is fake!” He yelled. “But the pleasure you a

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    166. You are a joke

    ~Esperanza’s POV~ The hearing was tomorrow. I wanted to settle my business with Carlos before the day ended but Diego’s words and office work equipped me. Diego thinks I’ve made enough statements back to prove to the world I'm back in the game. That I'm not losing to anyone anymore. He wants me to stay still and safe for quite some time so I don’t get my enemies bite in my ass. It was true to some extent but the baby growing in my belly… He wanted to kick the asses of every single enemy right now. The quiet in my office wasn’t quite quiet. Every file spread across my desk, every note I had marked, every call I had taken since morning, none of it felt scattered. It all led somewhere. Carlos. Every move now had to be sharp and calculated. Because he wasn’t the kind of man who accepted defeat quietly. But I had been working so hard against him ever since I stepped into my office, that my head hurts. And for some reason, I want to kick asses. Though I know where it

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    165. Taste of his own medicine

    ~Carlos’s POV~Knowing Juliana, I knew she wasn’t scared of him. While he took a step forward, she came out of my shield and stood beside me. Just like always, her chin was up. Shoulders were tight and there was that fire in her eyes that made me fall in love with her. “All of us did something that we shouldn’t…” She said loud enough for her voice to echo in the living room. “Instead of blaming each other, we need to focus on fixing it before our lives fall apart.” Juliana gazed at me. “If she can make Evangelina speak up against her parents, then we have no fucking idea how far she can go to win this time.” I thought she lost when I left her in that hospital with stitches and blood. But she turned into a woman that I never imagined. My poor ass thought she had no one to rely on whereas she fell straight into the lap of Diego Rowland.If he hadn’t been by his side and he wasn’t my old enemy… I would've crushed her so hard this time that nobody would've found her broken bones.

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    164. This wasn’t new for me

    ~Carlos’s POV~ The sound of glass shattering against the wall echoed through the whole house. One after another the sounds followed and every time something hit the ground, he looked at me, trying to find someone who had died years ago. He wanted me to flinch. He wanted my legs to go weak the way they always did whenever he gazed at me with red eyes and shaky hands. But there was none. He would've seen what he wanted if it were years ago, but now… His every yell. Every rage bait blends into the noise. The one that I don’t want to hear. The one that I still couldn’t throw out of my head. My father stood in the middle of the room, his chest rising and falling heavily, his face flushed with rage that had nowhere to go but out. And right now, I was the easiest target. I always was. First my mother and then me. “You had one job!” he roared, his voice echoed through the entire living room as another vase hit the ground with force, shattering it into tiny, uncountable pieces

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    163. Son to daddy’s rescue

    ~Esperanza’s POV~When he finally signed the papers and opened his mouth to say something again, the door burst open. Cameras flooded in. Voices of reporters echoed in every corner of the office. “Mr. Mendoza, is it true you’re stepping down?” “Is it true that finally you are giving back the ownership to the rightful heir?” “It looks like Mendozas has realised their mistakes. And everything Esperenza Rowland claimed back then was true!” He froze.The flashes of the camera on his face shocked him so hard that he stumbled. He didn’t expect to be caught in crossfire live. Especially, not this soon.“Go ahead,” I said quietly. “And tell how sorry you are for your son’s actions.” The microphones were already in front of him.His throat moved and his expression tightened.He finally opened his mouth.“Today… I am making a correction,” he said, his voice controlled, but not steady enough to hide what had just happened.“My son made a mistake… And now, I'm correcting it as much as
