33. Something Was Changing

~Esperanza's POV~

My shoulder still ached, but it didn't feel heavy to lift.

The painkillers worked wonders, but the stiffness was still there.

At first, my whole life flashed in front of my eyes. Giving me the same panic as the first time when I accidentally got locked in my playroom.

But the moment I realized it wasn't accidental, my whole perspective changed from panic to numbness.

And I wouldn't have realised it if I weren't here today. If I weren't who I am today.

I thought just like last night, I was accidentally trapped in my playroom but yesterday told me not everything is an accident.

And that gave me the strength to fight the darkness. But not with power, with numbness.

Now, I wonder if I was trapped there out of a pure mistake or intentionally.

Whatever it was, I need to figure it out as soon as I can. Exactly the way I did it last night.

I still remember the day clearly, even though I was only six.

I was playing alone in the playroom that Mom built for me while sh

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    35. Turn the tables

    ~Third Person's POV~ Using Diego's closet in his absence felt like an invasion. Esperanza took her new brown tailored formal suit that fit her like a dream and walked to the room where she was staying in her newfound home. The changes were new and big. And for both, she wasn't prepared. But she knew she couldn't delay any of them. One would silence the world's questions about her character, and the other would bring her back to the world that belonged to her once. Pairing her attire with black stiletto heels, she applied a nude brown lipstick and kept her light brown hair straight in a side partition. The sleek look gives her the inner confidence and calm that the outer fails to provide. It wasn't loud. But enough to make her push the boundaries that people in her past created around her. "All the best, my child," Mr Rowland gave her his blessing. A soft smile on his face, "They'll ask you questions which will make you doubt yourself, but..." His e

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    34. Just Trust

    ~Esperanza's POV~ I felt betrayed... I was a fool to feel that way, but... Yeah... I was being a fool. Somewhere along the way, I had convinced myself that I knew him. Not personally, maybe. But professionally, at least. We worked together. We spoke. We planned. We trusted each other in silence. Or so I thought. But the way he left without meeting, without talking... It kind of gave me the cold realization that the 'everything' we had was actually nothing at all. He knew all about me. Whether I told him or he found out on his own, he knew it all. My past. My failures. My scars. Whereas I only knew about his family. Not the shadows he has been fighting. Not the pain he has buried deep inside him. There's something. Maybe a lot... But I'm not aware of any of it. My eyes fell on Mr Rowland. If anyone could tell me the truth about Diego, it would be him. But I didn’t want answers filtered through love or protection. I wanted Diego to tell me h

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    32. Comfortably Weird

    ~Diego's POV~ My heart should be at ease seeing her sitting beside me, but it wasn't. She looked way too calm. Composed in a way I didn't imagine her to be in. I feel like I was all over the place more than her. The car came to a halt, and her head turned to me, "Your place..." "Our place..." I heavily breathed out. As I opened the door for her, my hands trembled. The fear, guilt, pain, and numbness still haven't left my body. It's like it was still there watching and making me relive all of it over and over. I chuckled, her hand felt calmer than mine. It wrapped around mine way too gently. For the first time, I felt as if I was being treated like broken glass. "You don't have to treat me like I would break," I softly said. "But you did. Did you think I left?" Her question came out of nowhere. I don't know whether I should answer it or not. She was putting her faith in me while I was breaking one thing after another, thinking she left me the same way she did.

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    31. Let's Go Home

    ~Third Person's POV~ Rowland Corporation was only twenty minutes away from Diego’s place. Only twenty. Yet traffic had turned those twenty minutes into sixty unbearable ones. By the time Diego arrived, his chest felt tight, his jaw clenched so hard it ached. The building stood tall and indifferent, completely unaware that someone’s world was suspended somewhere between floors. Repairmen crowded around the restricted lift. Guards tried to maintain order, voices overlapping, tension thick in the air. The elevator was stuck in the middle—neither rising nor falling—making it impossible to pull Esperanza out without risking a violent drop. Diego’s eyes scanned the scene wildly. “Where is she?” His voice thundered through the lobby. “Answer me!” Before anyone could respond, he grabbed one of the repairmen by his collar and slammed him back against the wall. “Who told you to remove the board?” Diego snarled, his grip tightening. “She wasn’t supposed to use this lift!” The m

  • Return Of Billionaire Heiress    30. I Refuse

    ~Esperanza's POV~ (4 hours ago)My day wasn't going easily. Not only from the outside, but the inner conflict was also not letting me breathe. I was fighting something unknown the whole day. It's easy to fight the judging eyes, but the inner conflict and hollow ache felt impossible to shake. I was done with my work by 5, but I still didn't feel like leaving. Though I had business to handle outside the Rowland Corporation, for some reason, I couldn't gather the courage to walk out in front of the desks that were whispering things about me. And this was a shocker for me. Not someone judging me again, but discovering that my colleagues looked at Diego more than a boss, it was quite disturbing. Unsettling. And I'm not going to lie. This has been bothering me more than people giving me names. Why? I have no idea. But I didn't like it when someone tried to call him his. I waited twenty minutes after the women in the office had gone before moving toward
