LEAH

As Kate walked out of the door, I heard Lucas's voice emerge from the shadows.

“What were you doing in there?” He asked, with a suspicious tone.

I moved closer to the wall.

Kate did not stutter. “I went to inform Leah of the new tasks I have for her.”

“Oh, and they are?” He probed further,

“Are you really interested in house chores? What are you doing here?” She poked back.

I heard him clear his throat. “I…um…I hadn't seen you in a while so I came to check on you. I was wondering if that girl had done something to you.”

“She wouldn't dare.”

“Good.”

I expected their footsteps to trail off, but as I listened further, I only heard heavy breathing.

“I plan on relocating to Atlanta very soon.” Kate said,

“Yeah, I know. How soon though?”

“In a day or two.”

“That's quite fast…”

“Things have escalated faster than expected. I didn't expect that stupid blogger to release anything this week. Now, there's a need for major damage control, and I have reasons to believe we might be expecting t

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   A little bit of fun

    LEAHAs soon as they walked out of the door, I quickly walked off.Kate had kept a few items on her bed for me. I looked through them. A skimpy dress was the first thing my eyes caught.“Oh, I remember how sexy I was before I opened my legs for Lucas.” She had sighed, as she dropped the dress on the bed.I scanned it. It was a gold colored thin dress with strap hands. I flapped it. I could guess where the dress would stop on my thighs.I looked through the makeup items. I wasn't perfect with the makeup, but I could try.There was a note on the bed, “ I have ordered an Uber for you. He should arrive in less than an hour. Stay out and a guard will get you to him. Remember, be back on time.” The note read.I folded it, and placed it in my pocket. To be safe, it was best to believe I had thirty minutes to prepare.I looked at the door leading to her bathroom for a long minute. Did I want to risk taking a shower there?Hell yeah. This was the first step of taking the brave moves to freed

    LEAHThe vibe of the music changed to a slow, consensual vibe.I wasn't that drunk. I could still tell what was going on, and how it was affecting me.The mysterious girl’s hand had moved further up my thighs, and I could feel my dress moving upwards. Not much longer, and my butt would be bare in the open.“What are we doing?” I asked, feeling myself getting a bit lightheaded,“Having some fun.” She replied. Her lips spread into a wide grin. She had perfect dentition.“What's your name?” I asked,“Loretta.”“Okay, Loretta.”“What's yours?” She asked,“Leah,” I replied, exhaling heavily. The heat of the moment was rising exponentially.“Leah, are you tired?” She asked,I shook my head. How could I be tired when I still had so much to do? I hadn't sighted even one wealthy person in the room, and even if I decided to steal every penny from everyone present, it still wouldn't be enough to save me.Oh, I was in such a deep mess.I sighed.“Are you stressed? I can make you relaxed.”“Go on

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   Boss's orders.

    LEAHYuck! That was disgusting.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and I watched as the bouncer grinned. He tapped my head gently.“You're a good girl.” He cooed at me in a low tone, “but you'd have been a better girl if you'd taken it in.”Hell no. There was no way on earth that I'd swallow this man's semen. I rose to my feet immediately.Loretta better be worth all this stress.“Can you take me to Loretta already?”“What's the rush, baby? We can-”“We can do nothing! You asked for a blowjob, and I gave you one! It's time to play your part.”“Sheesh. Come, and I'll take you to her.”“Thank you,” I murmured back.I walked behind him as he led me through the crowd. The party had grown rowdier, and noisier than it had been. Bodies were slamming against each other, clothes were being ripped off, and the heat of the moment was at maximum point.The guard walked up to another, and they talked in hushed tones.“She's in the VIP section,” he said to me.Of course, why didn't I think

    LEAH“Tell your boss I said he can go to hell,” I spat at him, but he didn't move.I stared at him with pain, and anger boiling within me.“I've been instructed not to leave if I don't return with you.” He said,“You better get comfortable, because I'm not going anywhere.”To my surprise, he moved towards, and stood a few feet behind me.God. If Lucas wanted to pick me up, why didn't he just do it himself?I hissed. He probably didn't want all the crowd, and attention.“Please leave.” He didn't move an inch.“Leave.” I grunted.The music was still blasting loudly.“Please come with me, else my boss will have to take drastic measures.”“Tell him I said he can do his worst.”I watched as he returned back to his standing position. He said a few words into his microphone.“She has refused to come with me…yes sir…I've tried sir…okay, noted.” A few seconds later, the music stopped.I turned to the DJ who began to address the crowd.“Hey everyone. The party's over. Go home.”“Fuck you. We

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   An alliance.

    LEAH“His eldest brother to be precise,” he added.Drew Mountains. First of the many sons born to Andrew Mountains. The meanest, most ruthless, and strictest. Straight A student throughout highschool, and college. His parents never had to bribe their way throughout his academics, or so we were told. He was born with an iron fist. He never partied, was never found lacking, and was his father's right hand. He took interest in the family's business from such a young age. He was the definition of a perfect son. It explained why I couldn't recognize him instantly. I had never truly known him. We only met at important dinners, and rather than entertain girls like me, he had entertained men. Moreover, we had a very large age gap. Ten years, I think, if not more. We never had the same friend circle, or any circle for that matter.“I know you,” I finally let out.“I had to make an introduction though,” he replied, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't seem impressed with that.It was sur

  • The return of the billionaire heiress.   A talk

    LEAHI woke up to the sound of different movements around. Slowly, I wiped my eyes as I tried to look around. Here, it was impossible to tell what time of the day it was.“You're awake, that's good.” Drew's voice pulled my attention,I turned to find him walking in with two cups of coffee in hand. “I was scared you'd sleep into oblivion.” He said, handing one over to me.He was in a black pajamas, so was it still night time? But he had commented on me sleeping for too long…“What's the time?” I asked,“Check your phone.” I cleared my throat, “I-I-don’t have one.”He took a sip of his drink. I had expected him to react, but he didn't seem surprised. “When did you misplace it?”Oh no. He had misunderstood me. “I didn't misplace it. I don't have any. I've not had a phone for a while…”He took another long sip of his drink. “Take your cocoa before it cools down.”I picked up the drink.“Francis is coming over, probably by noon, to check on you. Are you alright with that?”I wasn't. Fr

    LEAH“...and that's the end of my story.” I completed,Francis did not say a word but from the look on his face, I could tell he was contemplating murder.“Kate…is she the one who was your chief bridesmaid at the wedding?” He asked,I nodded.“The one with dark hair, and I think hazel eyes?”“Yeah…”“Okay. Wow. That was a plot twist.” He exhaled,Even I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't lived the story.“Well, that's just how life is. The unexpected always happens.”“Yeah. Look, I'm sorry about all these things that have happened to you. Lucas is one hell of a bastard, and for your ex best friend, I have no words. None.”“I guess I've gotten over it. For her. I mean, she did make a way for me to escape that place, especially after the many death threats by Lucas.” I continued,Francis leaned back on the chair. I watched him stare into space for a while.“I need to get you to a better place. Somewhere you can stay for a while.”I shook my head, “I don't want to be out just yet. I d

    LEAHFrancis kept looking out the window. I followed his trail, and although I couldn't see the girl anywhere in sight, I knew he was looking somewhere at her. His eyes were on her food truck.I didn't want to interrupt the moment so I sat still.His hands moved to the key, but his eyes were still on her.“You can go talk to her, I'll wait.” I voiced out,He turned to me, “No, it's alright.” He replied, igniting the engine.“Are you sure?” I pressed forward, but he only nodded, and offered a partial smile. I let it be.“How did you find this food truck? It's basically in the middle of nowhere.”Francis chuckled, “what are you saying? This is the heart of town.”“I guess, but I can't understand why you'd step down from your car to buy food from a food truck. Tell me, how hungry were you?”“Can I tell you something?” He asked, stepping gently on the break.“Yes, sure.”“I wasn't hungry at all.”“Oh. Why then did you stop there?”“Her hair.”“Huh?”“She had dyed her hair a burgundy color

  • 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

    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

    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

    LEAH“Why are you staring at me?” He asked with his eyes semi closed.I shook my head, “nothing.” I didn't bother lying.“You should get dressed and go to work.”“You're not fine, I'm not leaving you here.”“I have a hundred staff here,” he argued, “I'm sure I'll be fine.”“I'm not leaving.”He glared at me, “go to work. There are already whispers about you, missing a day will give them a topic.”I didn't want to move an inch, but he had bit the bullet at the right point.I walked into my closet. I heard the doctor's voice as he came in, and I blocked their voices out.Soon enough, I had picked what I wanted to wear, and I changed into it.As I walked out of the room, Drew's eyes met mine one more time. “Get well soon,” I wished,He nodded, and I left the house.I knew I was an hour late for work. Eyes had lingered on me as I walked into the office. Mary ran to my side as soon as she sighted me. She smiled at me politely, “Good morning, ma'am. Let me help with your bag.” She offered

    LEAH“I can't make any decisions right now. I'm going to bed, and you should too.”“Okay. Fine.” He didn't argue,I ended the call abruptly.As I wrapped the bed sheet over myself, sleep cuddled me like a warm blanket.THE NEXT MORNING.The blaring sound of the alarm woke me the next morning. With a groan, I picked up my phone, and swiped it off. What was even the time? I looked at the clock. Five am. It was good enough, I could start preparing for work.I got off the bed, and was about heading into the shower when I recalled none of the maids had brought in my outfit for today last night.Drew's perfectly worming team had forgotten my clothes, but they were somehow perfect at gossiping.I sucked in my teeth, and opened the door.To my surprise, a body fell on the floor. My pupils widened as his head hit the carpet.“Drew!” I screamed out, surprised.His eyelids flickered twice, and then a silent groan escaped his lips.In a bid to help him up, I grabbed his arms. His temperature h

    LAEL“I've solved your problems”I opened my eyes immediately. He walked past me, and towards the bench.I closed my lips, and wiped the shame from them.The lights were dim, but bright enough for me to see his full physique. He took off the black gloves on his hands.“What do you mean?” I asked, not moving.“Your problem, I solved it.”“What problem?” “The murder accusation.” He replied, as he threw the leather gloves into the trash can.“How?” That was all I could ask. Nothing seemed to make any sense.He started to unbutton his equally black shirt, “Do you really want to know how?” “Yes,” He grunted, as he took the shirt off, and tossed it into the trash can too. He then took off his socks, and shoes. They got the same fate as the rest of his clothings.“Call a guard for me,”“No.”His eyes flickered, “Don't be stubborn, call a guard.”I refused to move.He sighed, picked up his phone, and I heard the buzzing sounds.“Boss,” I could hear his right hand’s voice.“Come to the gard
