All Chapters of Return Of Billionaire Heiress : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

~Diego's POV~ "I fucking want to punch you," I glared at Jonathan. "What did I do?" "You have the worst timing," I snapped. "Oh," He chuckled. "Looks like I disturbed something." Valentina walked to us with Asher in her arms, "But we had to be here. I have some insider news." I nodded to Marie to take Asher and Liam away and gave my full attention to Jonathan and Valentina. "Let's go into my office," I said. "Where's Esperanza?" Valentina asked. "I hadn't spoken to her for two days." Two days? But... "Weren't you talking to her a couple of hours back?" I asked. She shook her head. Then who was Esperanza talking to? And why did she have to lie to me? Even her phone was receiving messages more than usual. This doesn't make any sense. I called Esperanza, but her phone was busy. She was again talking to someone... "Let's wait till she comes," I said. "Is everything okay?" Valetina asked. I nodded. Though it wasn't. I thought we were doing okay. B

~Esperanza's POV~ Liam slept soundly on the bed while Diego took a shower. He was still mad at me. I would be too if I were in his shoes. But... I didn't like the tension between us. It was the first time Diego spoke to me that way. He has never raised his voice at me. Not even last night, but his harsh words were enough to cut me deeper. I know I'm not his mother. And maybe I'll never be, but that didn't mean I don't care for him. I do. And will always look after him. He stretched his tiny arms in his sleep. I smiled. All babies do the same when they wake up. I sat beside him as he slowly fluttered his eyes. "Good morning," I whispered and caressed his hair. "Morning..." He whispered and hugged my knees. He wasn't my child, but he still felt like mine. Maybe because he was Diego's. And Diego... He was already mine. "Do you want to eat something?" I softly asked Liam. "Marie told me you didn't eat dinner properly." He nodded, "I'm hungry."

~Diego's POV~ Esperanza had been running all over the place. I organised a party to celebrate Asher and Liam’s permanent spot in our lives, and she couldn't be more frenzied about this than the whole staff. The party wasn't at our home. It was at our banquet. She knew all of the decor, food, games, and rides would be managed by the staff, but still, she was running as if the world was about to fall apart. "Baby, let the staff handle it," I said, grabbing her arm and gently turning her around. "You just look after our young men." "They don't know how to do their job," She stomped her foot. "I told them Liam is allergic to peanuts, but they kept it." "He was about to eat one," She snapped at the manager. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Rowland," the event manager said, her eyes to the ground. "I removed everything related to peanuts. I even removed some dishes that had peanuts in them." "Good for you," She glared at her. I dismissed the manager and chuckled, "You do know you

~Esperanza's POV~ The house was dead silent. The silence in the house told me that the kids were asleep. But for some reason, I felt uncomfortable. The lights of the living room always stayed on, but today there was pitch black only. I switched on the flashlight on my phone. The power can't be cut like this. It wasn't any low-standard place, it was the Rowland mansion. How could it be so dark here? I walked to the switchboard and turned on the lights. Though I don't fear darkness anymore, it still triggers some memories that I want to forget. The lights turned on, and I took a deep breath. Someone intentionally switched off the lights. I first walked to the kitchen to drink some water and grab a water bottle. I've learned many things over the past few days. And all of them were life-changing. But what I learned today was either going to break us in the worst possible way or bring us together like never before. I have no idea how I am going to tell Die

~Esperanza's POV~ Liam had no idea what was heading towards him after this peaceful breakfast. And deep down, I wished the time had stopped. He was just a kid used as a pawn in this ugly world. He had no idea what his mother was doing to him. He just did what he was told, and now he was going to hear from the man he considered his father. The only good thing in all of this was that Grandpa didn't mess up with anything. He wasn't lying. He didn't forge anything. He was telling the truth. Now, there wasn't any doubt in Diego's head for him. The breakfast ended too quickly. Marie followed Diego's command and took Asher inside while Diego and I took Liam to our room. "Are we going to draw?" Liam asked me. "You promised." "We will," I smiled. "But first your father wants to talk to you." Diego's eyes flickered. A lump settled in his throat as he gazed at Liam. And for the first time, there was no smile on his face. He looked at him blankly. The same w
