All Chapters of His Poor Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“We are done,” he says with force, slamming the papers in his hand on the dinner table, his expression mad. “I can’t continue to be married to a liability like you,” Devon sneers, looking at his wife like she is some cheap commodity he purchased from the market and have just realised its inferior quality. Kathleen stares at the man she has been married to for five years in shock. This came out of nowhere. To the best of her knowledge they have been doing fine. Where is this coming from? “What are you saying, Devon?” She asks, her voice a soft whisper, hiding her pain and disbelief. Devon stares into his wife’s grey eyes filled with pain and confusion like it is nothing, his hard expression unaffected by the ache he could see in their depth. Face twisting with harshness, and disgust, he snarls. “I am divorcing you. I am tired of this charade we call marriage. All you do is take and take. Do you know what my mother refers to you as?” Devon’s eyes gleams with sly humor as he speak

Kathleen knocks and walks into her father's study. Her heart skips when she sees his lean figure behind his desk bent over the laptop screen before him. She hesitates by the door, weighed down by guilt and insecurities. Is her father mad at her? They haven’t spoken since she got married to Devon. She can’t believe she choose Devon over her family, but that is what love can do to you sometimes. Kathleen walks up to the big oak desk, and stands before her father’s bent frame, her expression nervous. “Dad!”She sees her father stiffen at the sound of her voice, and waits with her heart beating in her chest for him to respond. Nothing happened.Disppointed, Kathleen turns to leave. As her body turns away from her father, the older man raises his head and stares in the direction of his daughter. “Welcome home, Kathleen,” he says softly. Kathleen steps falters, and she almost crumbles to the ground in relief. Holding herself together, she turns around and says. “Thanks dad.” But her

The next day Devon arrives at his lawyer’s office with a determined look. Without knocking he badges in, and begins to speak without being aware of his surounding. “I need you to counter sue for twenty million dollars. This bitch thinks she can mess with me.” Devons stops abruptly when he looks and sees the room full of people, and they were gawking at him like he has an extra head. “I am sorry,” he says to them, with a guilty look and then direct his gaze to his lawyer. “Why didn’t you tell me you have visitors?” He says like it is his lawyer’s fault. The lawyer looks at him with a resigned expression. “I would have, Mr Cross, if you had told me you were coming.” Seeing reason in the older man’s words, but doesn’t want to apologise a second time, Devon keeps silence, and instead finds somewhere to sit and wait. His lawyer seeing that Devon isn’t going to give him the privacy he needed, concludes his meeting, and after his guests left, turns to Devon with a tight expression. “Ho

Kathleen and Joe paused in their stride and took out the ringing phone. They glanced at the screen and then at each other."Drew""Your father," They both said together. Joe cast Kathleen a questioning look, asking if he should pick the call.Kathleen ignored Drew and nodded her head at Joe. Not answering means her father will come down himself. She wasn't deluding herself into thinking that the old man doesn't know where she is. Her father knows everything.Joe braved himself and picked the call. Speaking to the elder Baldwin always takes it toll on him. The old man whom he has always seen as a father is an acquired taste, and one that requires a lot deal of patience."Hello," he said clearly into the phone. he had learned from his younger days that the elder Baldwin distaste weakness, or someone who is never sure of himself. When dealing with the senior Baldwin you must never show how intimidated you are or the old man will eat you alive."Ask her when she is coming home?" The mascul

She chose a flay flowery dress flowing down to her ankle, which she completed with a white flat snadals.Kathleen and Snatana went for shorts and shirts that they left open to reveal the t shirt underneath, and they rounded up the holiday casual dressing with a nike sneakers. Joe joined the Kathleen and Santana in shorts, Plaid short sleeve shirt and sneakers."Why don't you ladies go ahead and I will get the luggage," Joe said to the three women with him.Don't be silly Joe, we can all get our luggages. You are Kathleen's assistant, not ours. More over we are all here to relax, not make you work more. I am sure this one here already does that, Chloe shot Kathleen a teasing grin.Kathleen rolled her eyes and quickly defended herself."Well, I haven't made him work in years.""Makes no d
