LEAH

He laughed boisterously through the phone.

What the actual fuck?!

I clutched the receiver tightly. “Francis, where are you?” I asked,

“In Vegas, baby!” He screamed,

I heard a number of people cheering in the background.

“Francis, I need you to listen to me. You can't get married to Carla.”

“Uh, why?” He slurred,

I clutched the receiver, not knowing what to say.

“You just can't.” I ground out,

“But why?”

“Because it's unreasonable for you to-”

“I'm sorry, Francis is quite busy at the moment.” Carla's voice came in.

“Hey, give me my phone!” I heard Francis scream.

I heard grunts. It seemed like Francis was battling for his phone. “Will you give me a minute? I'll give you the phone as soon as I'm done.” Carla's voice came out.

I began to speak into the phone, “whatever you think you're doing, you'd better cut it out.”

“Or else what?” She barked, “you're not his family. You have no legal rights over him. Face your fucking marriage if you will.” She spat.

My lips parted, but before I

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   coming for you

    LEAHThe drive was fucked up. I was lucky to make it safely to the office.I picked up my bag, the file, and walked through the lot.The sound of my phone ringing, pulled my attention.Drew.“Hello,” I said, stomping forward.I had to kill him. There was no other option left.“Where are you?” “Heading to the office. What do you want?”“I want to know what you were doing at that girl's house. Why are you digging up old wounds?”I paused in my tracks, “I dug up old wounds because I had to prove I wasn't a murderer.”“You're not. She isn't dead.”“Yes, but she almost died. And I had to prove I wasn't the reason for that.”I heard him grunt, and then speak, “okay. What did you find out?”The rage in my body pulsated, as I gripped harder onto my bag.“Lucas, and Kate pushed her off the wall. Can you believe that? The woman whom I have been mourning nearly ruined my life.”“How did you find out?”“She remembers. The girl who got pushed off.”“That's good.”“I know,” I began to walk, “and I

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   The truth

    LEAHI knew Lucas was a terrible man, but finding this out was a real change to my perspective.I turned to find her staring at me. She raised an inquisitive brow, then turned to her sister who just shrugged.“I thought I pushed you off the balcony,” I revealed.“You-”“I know. You said I wasn't there, I know.” I cut in. I didn't need to hear it again. I touched my thighs, and then the chair, but I didn't know what to do. “You're sure I wasn't there?”“Yes,” she replied in a low tone. She wasn't harsh anymore, just confused.I rubbed my lips on each other, staring into nothing.Was every part of my life a lie? How deep had my husband cut in?“I was drunk that night,” I began to explain, “drunk, and intensively high, so my memory is jagged. I honestly don't remember all that had happened. Based on what I had been told, I saw you trying to kiss Lucas, and in jealousy, pushed you off the balcony.” I let a breath pass through my lips, “all my life, I have been feeling so guilty. Everyday

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   Two lines, one truth.

    LEAHI shook my hand off her grip. “The next time you threaten me, I will show you the clear difference between a woman born in wealth, and a woman who stole her way there. Don't test me.”With that, I pushed her hand off, and walked off.Her eyes followed me as I strolled out of the building. As soon as I got to the driveway, I took a pause, taking in a deep breath.Francis was a pimp. Yes, he was. How dare he go ahead and tell her about the kiss making it look like it was my fault?We both kissed each other. I didn't force myself on him. I had initiated it, but that didn't mean-“Leah!” A sharp voice called my name,I turned to find Xander sprinting towards me. As soon as he approached me, he quickly corrected himself, “sorry, Mrs Irving. I only called you by your first name-”“What can I do for you?” I asked, crossing both arms over my chest.I could still feel my cheeks flushed in anger.“Here,” he handed me a brown file.“What is this?” “The divorce papers.”“I just authorize

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   A threat

    LEAH“You're joking, right?”I shook my head. “I'm not. I'm serious, I want to adopt a child.”“And you want me to be the co parent,” he completed,“Exactly.”“No.”“Why?” I cocked my head, “I thought we were a team?” He closed his eyes, then I heard a deep groan. “Why do you want a child?”“Because she's important to me.”“Whose child do you want to adopt?”“Yours.” He was silent for a second. He leaned back on his chair, then finally leaned towards me. I was still by the door, with it slightly adjusted.“That's Kate's child,” he corrected,I clenched my jaw, biting back the words.“What do you say? Are you with me on this or not?”“I'm not with you on anything. You want to adopt a child? Go on, I'm not stopping you, but I won't be a part of it.”“This is your child!”“It's Kate's child.”My lips parted, and I was about to preach on how insensitive he was, but I clamped my lips shut. It was Lucas. Why had I expected better?I turned around, and walked out of his office.As soon as

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   A parent

    LEAH“I'll work on it,”He didn't respond, but with a huff, he was out of the office.Lucas walked in immediately, “what did your uncle want?” “Since when did we become a team?” I snarled,He walked in fully, and closed the door behind him.I looked through the glass, ensuring he knew that everyone could see him. He tucked at his suit, and straightened his shoulders.“We need to be a team. Your uncle is the enemy, not me.”I glared at him, but didn't say a word as I retreated back to my seat.“Do you like your position in this company?”“Why? Do you want to take that away too? Haven't you taken enough from me?”“I'm not taking anything. Just listen to me. I can give you a permanent spot at this table, but you and I know your uncle is the common enemy. One chance, and he'll displace us permanently.”I looked him dead in the eye, “There is no way in hell you're trying to negotiate my father's company with me.”“Look, I'm not negotiating, I'm just-”I saw the desperation in his eyes, a

    LEAH“I'm staying for the meeting, but please help me reach out to Drew's home, and see if you can speak to him.”“Alright, do you have any message you want me to pass on?”“No,” I shook my head, slightly, “just let him know that I'm checking in.” She walked out abruptly.I took one look at my phone, and typed in Martina's name on the search bar. She was the first to come up.As I scrolled through, I searched for whatever I could use to debunk whatever he was trying to do.Martina had a master's degree in finance and accounting. A first class degree. She was good.I had submerged myself into reading her profile, until Mary's voice pulled me off guard.“I called, and Mr Drew is not home.” Where the hell could he have gone to?“Were you informed on where he could be?” I asked,“Yes, he's at work.”I released a deep sigh, as I pinched my forehead. “Don't worry about it, thank you.” She nodded, and walked out.The intercom buzzed, and I heard Scarlett's voice.“We are all expected to
