DAMIEN

“There’s someone who wants to see you, Mr Locke.” my assistant told me and I looked up to face her.

“Who is this someone?” I asked her.

“Beth Carter. Should I let her in, Mr Locke?” she asked while I shut my laptop close and I nodded.

“Let her in,” I told her. With that, she walked out of the office and seconds later, there was a knock on the door. Then Beth walked in and she smiled at me when I looked at her.

“I bet you’re surprised to see me showing up unannounced in your office” she said as she made her way to one of the chairs and sat down. All while I watched her make herself comfortable before she finally looked at me.

“What brings you here, Beth? I’m sure this unannounced visit had to do with Sophia. Right?” I asked her and she shrugged, that smile still stuck on her face.

“What if it has to do with Sophia? Are you eager to hear what I have to say?” she asked me too and I leaned back in my chair to have a proper look at her.

I bet she had come to tell me something that

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    If we get invited

    SOPHIAI was up before my alarm rang and my eyes stung since I didn’t sleep. Aiden woke up just as I walked out of his bathroom wearing his robe and he sat up in bed.“You’re awake already,” He noted and I nodded while using a spare towel to dry my hair up.“Yeah. I’ll make breakfast since I’ve taken my bath. You should take your bath too.” I returned and he held his hand out.I walked up to him, my hand held out too and he took it. Then he pulled me down to sit with him and I did. He kissed me briefly on the lips before we pressed our foreheads against each other.“I know you didn’t sleep last night.” He told me and that made me pull away to look at him.“You know I couldn't sleep?” “Yes. There was no way I wouldn’t know when you kept tossing on the bed,” He smiled while giving me an endearing look and I palmed my face in embarrassment. I should have realized that turning around nonstop would have bothered him through the night.“I couldn’t sleep either so don’t feel bad,” I pulled

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    She has done many horrible things

    SOPHIAMy mind was a mess. Many questions and assumptions ran through like a train that had lost control and still, I had no idea what to think. What the hell was Elena thinking? Why would she choose to do something so dangerous when I was even trying to make her realize she was taking the path to self ruin?“It’s late and there’s literally nothing we can do by this time. All we can do is stay calm tonight and wait until morning” Aiden advised while he picked the fragments of glasses scattered across the floor in the living room.I was seated on the couch rocking back and forth while trying to get a grasp of the whole catastrophic situation because Aiden insisted I stay clear of the floor until he was done cleaning up.“I just… I can’t believe Elena will do something like that. I never thought she would stoop so low,” I shared my shock but Aiden shrugged as he picked up the last piece of glass.“She’s done many horrible things, Sophia. This is obviously nothing to her because all she

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    It's time to go

    SOPHIA“Alright, that's it for today, Janet. See you tomorrow” I chirped while I shut my laptop down.“Uh, I think it would be nice if you could tell everyone goodbye too before you leave, Miss Hale” she advised and it was a good idea. So I stood up and gestured at her to lead the way. Which she did. Together, we walked into the large cafeteria where they were all having their dinner and they instantly had smiles on their faces once they saw me.“Hello everyone, bet you all had a good day” I greeted them and they responded with an excited chorus.“So I'm closing up for today but you'll see me tomorrow. I just came over to say goodnight to my family” I announced and a little girl ran over to me.I'd taken her and her mother in after the father pushed them out in the middle of the night. She was still struggling to make ends meet by working as a barista in a small corner coffee shop. So giving her accommodation was the best support I could give.“This is for you, aunt Sophia,” her six

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    She did this!

    DAMIENI had my phone in my hand when Elena kept calling the previous night. I didn't want to speak to her because I had no time to entertain her or give her the attention she loved getting.So I ignored her… but after speaking to her at the moment, I realized I shouldn't have ignored her.“You what?” I sprang out of my couch once her words came from over the phone and I heard her breathing heavily while the sound of things smashing followed too.“Sophia! She fucking did this. She told my parents everything and now, they have disowned me. I'm no longer the CEO either. All because of her and that bastard called Aiden!” She screamed frantically while she kept breaking things and I could sense how angry she was. We both never saw this coming so her reaction was valid… especially knowing that Sophia was the cause.“Where are you now?” I asked her and the sound of things smashing stopped.“Why do you want to know?” she asked, breathing heavily over the phone.“Oh, you’d prefer we speak ov

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    You have no say in this

    ELENAIt was true. I'd grabbed the chance once I saw it and escaped from the family dinner. I'd assumed it would make things less tense. What I didn't know was my absence would only worsen things.I spent the rest of the night in a bar. After calling Damien multiple times to let him know about what was happening, he didn't pick up. Angry that he was ignoring me, I decided to drink myself into a stupor and by midnight, I took myself back to the house to find everyone was asleep.Morning came. Mum and dad were waiting for me in the living room already and judging by the looks on their faces, I knew better than walking away.So I took a seat and waited for them to speak. “We're taking you off the board, Elena. You can't keep being the Hale Dynasty's CEO after the many horrible things you have done” my mum started and I didn't even realize I was sitting on the edge of the couch.“What? You don't mean that, mum. You can't do that, dad” I told them, hoping to talk them out of it but they

  • The comeback of the billionaire heiress    Stay safe too mum

    SOPHIA Elena was stripped off the CEO position. Just as I'd hoped my parents would do and they didn't disappoint me. They didn't give me a second chance to doubt them.“Aiden–is this real? Or am I just seeing things?” I asked Aiden who stood beside the bed and he chuckled deeply while reaching for my hand to pull me out of bed.“Not at all, baby. You aren't seeing things because it's all real. We took Elena down and we wouldn't have to worry about her anymore” he kissed me on the lips while I couldn't stop smiling.I was elated. Over the moon even… but I couldn't help but wonder how Elena had taken the news. So I quickly reached for my phone to call my mum.She picked on the first ring and her voice still sounded down just like it was the previous night. I immediately figured the whole issue didn't go down well with Elena and maybe they finally saw through her act once she lost her temper in front of them.“Hey mum. I just saw the news” I began by going straight to the point since I
