All Chapters of The Billionaire's Stolen Heiress : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Veronica's words occupied my mind on our drive home. The more I thought about it,the more it painfully made sense. I was scared that she was telling the truth and the woman beside me was nothing but someone pretending to be Maria.Her head was against my shoulder and her fingers traced small patterns on my hand. “You are distracted, Julian. Are you worried about something?” She asked.I shook my head. “Just tired,” I lied.I squeezed her hand. I felt a bit guilty. Perhaps I was letting Veronica get to me when I shouldn't. “I'm sorry about Eleanor,” I said. “She's always extra. No one really likes her.”She smiled. “Ohh…it wasn't a problem at all. I actually like her.”I nodded. Maria and Eleanor never got along. Maria believed her brother should have married someone else - her childhood friend, Isabella. Isabella was the only child of a rich oil magnate family. Her family didn't want Carlos because he got another lady pregnant. So Isabella eventually married a much older man. She h

I woke up to news from Catrina.{CATRINA}I know you think I won't know but I know. Liliana left the Fonte's mansion tonight. I hope this is enough to buy my freedom.I stared at the text for one foggy second before I tossed the sheets away. Isabella was still asleep beside me. I searched impatiently for my phone, unsure where I'd kept it after I got home last night.“Hey!” I yelled at her. “Get up!”She woke up startled and confused. “What is it, Vincenzo?”“Where is my phone?” I asked, tuning the sheet upside down. “Look for it.”She scrambled out of bed and dropped to her knees, checking under the bed.“Better still, get me Hulk. Now!”She raised her head up. “What's going on?” her face pale and confused.“I said get me Hulk.” I hurled a pillow towards her.This was the moment I'd been waiting for a long time. I didn't know how Catrina knew about Lillian and I. But I wasn't going to bother myself about it for now.I met Liliana as an undocumented migrant when she was just eighteen.

The expression on her face was solid. She wasn't lying. She actually knew the truth. I moved uncomfortably.“What are you saying, Liliana?” I asked, trying not to blink.She touched my hand gently. “The only reason you've not been exposed is because Carlos wants it this way.”My heart raced. Carlos knew?“Was…was he the one who killed Maria?” I asked.She shook her head. “Maria was always putting her nose in people's businesses. A lot of people didn't like her. You shouldn't start asking questions if you don't want trouble.”She groaned gently.I got the message she was passing. I should lie low and act as Maria now that it favoured Carlos. If I started asking questions, I could disappear too.“Did Vincenzo do this to you?” I asked.She nodded stiffly.“I -” I started to say.“I know it was you who gave him my location.” She held my gaze. Her eyes were cold and she didn't blink.I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me.“You think he'd let you go if you do one, two or three favo

I sat in the VIP area, overwhelmed by the smell of cigarettes and the noise of men busy with their companions. I accepted the cigarette that was brought tonight. I needed something to chase the thoughts that this could have been my life if Julian had not stepped in to save me.I wouldn't have seen Bethany again.Vincenzo joined me later on, his shirt completely unbuttoned and his signature cigar hanging at the corner of his mouth. His bare chest was covered in tattoos and there were about five chains hanging on his neck of varying lengths. He had a new haircut done and he looking fucking hot.“Piccola,” he said, assessing my dress. I could tell he liked it. I'd chosen it specially and hid it underneath a large coat and boots. I told Jilian that I was going to hang out with some friends. “You came,” he said, sitting down.“You wanted me to be here, Vincenzo," I said, aware that my dress was doing exactly what I wanted it to do.“You were upset about Liliana the last time we spoke,” he

I left the office earlier than I planned. There was little to do there and most of the work processes confused me. Moreover, there was something more important to pursue. First, I needed to tell Julian about this man Maria had been contacting consistently. He was helping her trace the location of a couple - Luciana and Alessandro de Santis.I passed by the entrance at the back of the estate because I was too tired to drive all the way to the front. I stopped the car beside the stable and dropped out. The St Clair owned one of the largest farms in the whole state and grew a lot of high profit crops. The stable contained some of the finest and most expensive horses in the whole of Italy. There was a block of buildings beside the stable where some of the farm workers worked. I hadn't met most of the workers. I passed by the house and just then I heard noises. I moved closer, curiosity luring me. It wasn’t just any kind of noise. It was the sound of two people having some wild sex.The la
