All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Heiress: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

AriaI slowly opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. My body felt extremely weak, and I couldn’t move. I remembered what happened at the beach, and I sucked in a breath.“You’re awake,” Wayne said, and I didn’t dare look at him. “I will be right back.”He left the room, and I breathed out. I remembered what I did, and instead of feeling disgust for kissing my friend, I liked it. My stomach flipped, and my heart was warm. I definitely didn’t regret kissing him, and I would do it again and that’s the part that scared me. Shortly, he came back and sat beside me on the bed.“Sit up,” he said, softly helping me up. I leaned my back against the bed frame, avoiding his eyes as he handed a cup of warm tea to me.“Be careful, it’s a bit hot,” he mumbled. I nodded, blowing on it a bit before taking a sip, and I hissed from how hot it was.“I told you it was hot,” he mumbled, taking it from me. He breathed out, looking at me. I finally met his eyes as I remembered our little scene.“Are yo

Aria “How are you?” I asked Lily, looking down at her with a forced smile.It’s been almost an hour since Aria arrived, and I had to take a break to get my emotions together. I just got back to see Mom and Dad with Aunt Mila fawning over the arrival of the baby, and Lily laid on the bed, holding her daughter to her chest. I couldn’t believe my little sister was now a mother. How did we get here?“Tired, but happy,” she replied, looking down at Aria with an affectionate smile.My heart was very bitter. She dared to be happy after getting pregnant by my own husband. Audacity must be on sale at a low price for that.“Isn’t she the cutest? I can’t tell who she looks like, but she is the most beautiful baby ever,” Mom breathed.I finally got the courage to look down at her. She was a chubby baby and her eyes were closed. Her skin was red like a newborn, and she was tiny, wrapped in a pink blanket. I also couldn’t tell who she looked like, but she was indeed a beautiful girl. Lily brushed

AriaI walked down the hallway and rang the doorbell. I got no response, so I kept ringing until it was finally answered. The door opened and Richard’s face came into view. His eyes widened when they landed on me, and I pushed him inside angrily.“Where is she?” I raged. “Where the fuck is she!” I yelled, searching around the house like a crazy woman.“Aria, calm down,” he rushed, running after me.“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down! What is this I’m seeing on the internet? Who is in here with you!” I yelled. He breathed out, running his fingers through his hair. He looked guilty, with sweat covering his forehead.“I’m here,” I heard Lillian’s voice and I turned, my chest heaving.“You!” I growled, charging at her. I grabbed hold of her hair, pulling it with all my might.“Aria! Let go!” Richard yelled, trying to pull her away from me. Lillian screamed, her scalp probably burning, but I was latched on. It became a power struggle—the more Richard pulled, the harder I pulled her hair.

Aria“How did he know about your father? How did he get your schedule and know you would be at the school?” Javier asked with a puzzled look, and I was just as lost.“Your husband isn’t who we think he is—he might be more dangerous. I wanted to tell you this myself, that’s why I came,” he said, and I breathed in.“Who was your former secretary or PA?”“It has always been William,” I replied.“I will dig into his history to know if he’s clean. If he is, then you might have a spy around you,” he said, and I swallowed the lump in my throat.“You need to be careful around him. It’s not certain he killed his parents and siblings, but I’m certain he killed that teacher. Unfortunately, there’s no case I could link into to connect the traces. So, you need to be careful, Aria.”Javier’s voice echoed in my ears as I looked out the window. Like a robot, I got home and stepped down from the car, walking inside. I headed straight to my room, and surprisingly, Richard was in there, laughing at some

AriaThe club was in full swing, and I looked around, scanning the room as I took a sip of my drink. We were in the VVIP section, and I wasn’t surprised to see Lillian grinding on some men at her table. She and Richard were a match made in hell anyway. I sipped my drink again, ignoring every man who came over. Well, Ryan was doing a good job of chasing them off.Finally, Lillian stood up, laughing as she walked away. I stood up, following her. She walked into the restroom, and I stood in front of the huge mirror, waiting patiently for her to come out. When she finally did, she walked straight to the sink, not expecting me to be there.“Nice dress,” I mumbled, and she looked up.Her eyes landed on me, and she immediately frowned. “What are you doing here?” she snapped, turning to me.“What do you mean?” I asked, folding my arms. “This is a public place, can’t I be here?”Lillian narrowed her eyes at me, then let out a small chuckle. “Did you stalk me? Are you that bothered about me?” s
