All Chapters of Return Of Billionaire Heiress : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

~Esperanza’s POV~ We always had breakfast together. It was the rule in the family to at least have breakfast together because nobody knew, how the rest of the day would pass. But since we were behind the walls, and couldn't go out, we had dinner together after so many days. At first I thought Diego and Mr Raphael wouldn't be able to join us, but they completed their meeting with the media and police fastly. Asher’s laughter filled the dining room. He tapped his hands on the table and then tried to take the spoon from Liam. “Baby, that's bad manners,” I shook my head, but that little mischief… He looked at Diego who just winked at him. “I didn't have anyone to fight with, but Asher does…” He chuckled. “Yeah, and someone younger than him is already on his way,” I smiled. “Her.” “Huh?” “Her…” Diego said while pointing at my belly. “I have enough boys.” He desperately wants a girl whereas my low-life ex-husband always wanted a boy. His heir. Though if

~Esperanza’s POV~Diego shot up straight, “Who?” “Carlos..” I said, showing him the screen. “It’s a number…” He said with furrowed brows. “You remember his number.” “Yeah, I stayed with him two years,” I snapped at him. Not that I was cheating on him. “I didn't mean that…” He sighed. “I know…” I stared at the name for a second. He called twice and I didn't pick up. The third time he called, Diego cleared his throat after picking up his phone and started the recorder. “Pick it up.” Putting the phone on speaker, I yelled, “What do you want?” “Asher. You need to give Asher back to me.” His words cut through me like a knife staggering straight into my chest. “Don’t yell…” Diego whispered enough for me to hear. “In your dreams,” I calmly answered. “That you've already done but now, I want him back in my life…” He said with the voice that broke me months ago. The same harsh, unbothered tone that forced me to sign the divorce papers. “And why wo

~Esperenza’s POV~As fast and spicy our morning was, the rest of the day was as sweet and moved more slowly. We stayed inside. Played with Asher and Liam, and paid off for the time when they wanted us and we couldn't be there. Though there will be a lot of days ahead like that, still this chaotic time felt peaceful to my kids.They had their mom and dad by their side and the smiles on their faces every time they talked to us, said it all. Liam sat on the floor with Asher, building something with LEGO that didn’t make sense but meant everything to them. Pieces were scattered around them, and laughter filled the space in a way that should have calmed me.And it did for a moment. Just for a moment because whenever I turned to Diego or Mr Rafael, I noticed the irritation on their faces that the media and Mendoza were constantly creating. Carlos was so in rage after what I said to him in the morning, that he started making false accusations about Diego’s acquisition over the years.

~Esperenza’s POV~ I watched my kids as they both slept soundly beside each other. Liam held Asher close. His arm wrapped around Asher, instinctively pulling him closer in his warmth as Asher carelessly slept in his presence. Asher has grown fond of Liam in a way that I didn't think was possible for one year old. One year… Just six days more and Asher will finally turn one. One year of pain, betrayal, and fights I never signed up for. My lips curled in an awkward smile. One year ago I was planning a different life with different people around me and now… I was fighting the people that I thought were mine a year ago. Slowly standing up from the bed, I kissed their heads. I just hope this won’t turn into an ugly night and I’ll come back safe and sound to my family. The buzzing noise in the house finally died down and the silence once again surrounded us. But this night didn’t feel like a night. It felt like the lull of a lurking demon. It was already m

~Esperenza’s POV~ I slept the whole day. First in my bed and then I shifted to Liam and Asher’s bed. And I can finally say that after months, I had a day where I just slept and did nothing. Something that I hadn't done in a very long time. “Mommy, are you okay?” Liam asked as he slipped beside me one more time. “You’ve been sleeping all day.” “I’m fine, baby. Thank you for asking,” I pulled him to me and snuggled him tightly. Liam was more like Diego. Always hot on his heels and always in search of something to do. Whereas Asher was more like me. If left undisturbed, he can sleep all day. I wonder how this third baby is going to be. Will he be like Diego or me? Or a mix of both of us? Gosh… I can’t wait to see that. My hand went to my belly and I caressed it with a warmth spreading through my heart. I'm glad there wasn't any firing or fighting. Who knows what might have happened if that had been the case? At least my baby and I walked back home without getting hur
