ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Shockwaves and Surprises
Laurel’s mouth was still agape for almost twenty seconds since Tony revealed who he really was to her. She wasn’t just surprised but shocked and confused at the same time. All these still happened even with the hunch she had about who he might be, she didn’t need to ask him any more questions. He already confirmed clearly what she was still doubting. She knew that kind of coincidence couldn’t happen, Had Tony been lying all these while? She had so many questions to ask him, the night just got interesting. “A..Are….you sure about what you’re saying, Tony?” Laurel managed to get herself together, glancing around the restaurant for a moment making sure no one noticed her shock. Tony, who had already started eating, smiled with a piece of steak in his mouth. He had imagined this moment, but it was Lilian’s moment that he was really waiting for. “My name is Anthony Marcellus, Laurel, why’d you think that is?” Tony asked, cutting a piece of steak. This was the happiest night of his life
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Not all Dreams come true
(Back at the restaurant) Tony had just dropped off Laurel at her home, using the opportunity to know where she lived and show her his latest Mercedes, so she’d be aware he wasn’t joking about the fact that he was wealthy. He sat inside his car for some minutes, just thinking about everything that had happened in the last few weeks, many of what he couldn’t believe had happened. His life was getting back to the way it normally was, this time he was even richer and he had a more beautiful and loving woman. What more could he possibly ask for? Thinking about all of these made him suddenly realise that he had not gone to see his grandmother since he discovered that Sir Winconstin was his father. She had questions to answer. He quickly ignited the car and drove off, heading straight to the home of the elderly where she was. The fact that he never even thought about seeing her was weird. Maybe the money really got in his head after all. ***Laurel closed the curtain and strolled into
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Pandemonium
Gina was starstruck, she couldn’t even hold Lilian as she laid unconscious on her laps, she was speechless. Adonis quickly ran towards Lilian and knelt beside the sofa, tapping her cheeks while calling out her name softly. He couldn’t believe it, what just happened? She was fine and healthy all these while, there was no way she could just collapse all of a sudden. He hoped this didn't result in what he had in his mind, his heart was beating abnormally fast, everything was going smoothly, up until now. “Are you dumb, Adonis, call 911 for God’s sake, and Gina, have Walker come in here immediately,” Winconstin was really marvelled by how they were reacting to a situation where a person just collapsed, he was confused himself, but first things had to be done first. “Get her off me, Adonis,” Gina requested, somehow, she didn’t want to touch Lilian’s body, maybe she was scared that it’d be cold which would confirm that she was dead. Adonis carried Lilian’s unconscious body and laid it s
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR She’s going to have a Baby!
Gina was a little relieved but became confused when she heard Adonis’s words. “Pregnant? That’s not even possible,” Adonis retorted in shock and was utterly confused. How could that even be? Well, only one thing could have happened.Walker was also confused when he heard what Adonis uttered, isn’t he supposed to be happy that his fiancée was pregnant for him? It was a big relief that it wasn’t anything other than pregnancy. The doctor also expressed confusion on hearing Adonis’s words, shifting his gaze from Adonis to his mother then back to Adonis again. “Isn’t she your wife or something?” The doctor asked, it was obvious that Lilian was either his wife, fiancée or girlfriend, any doc would deduce that. “She is, but I’ve never had sex with her.” Adonis brushed his hands through his hair and walked away from the docs' presence, he went and sat down on one of the small chairs in the waiting room. “Thank you doc, I hope she’s going to be okay though?” Gina continued speaking to the
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Questions left Unanswered
Walker scoffed, shoved his hands into his pants pockets, he wasn’t so surprised that Adonis was this desperate. The rich always think everything is about money, although it’s fairly true, but not to him. “I’m more loyal than you think, Adonis. Loyalty comes first,” Walker smiled and continued walking to the exit of the waiting room. “You’re gonna lose your job, Walker, I promise you; I’ll see to that,” Adonis called out angrily, he dragged his tie down and folded his hands into a fist. If there was a table or something in front of him he’d have smashed it out of anger. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, he had to hold on till Lilian woke up, she was going to tell him how she got pregnant, whether she lied or not. He wanted to hear it, she was history already; but he had to know if she was really using him. ***Tony got to the home of the elderly faster than he had imagined, there was less traffic on the highway and it was just a few hours to midnight. He parked his
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Horrors of Cryptic Pregnancy
“A baby? You mean I’m pregnant?” Lilian tried to straighten herself on the sickbed but her body ached and she let out a soft sound of pain, her face still expressed shock and disbelief. Adonis didn’t respond, the doctor was already here; he’d explain to her, what he wanted to talk about was different from all this. “Yes you’re, Miss Lilian, you’re eight months gone, and you’d give birth any moment from now.” The doctor stood in front of her, he wasn’t smiling now. This was a very serious situation and realising you’re pregnant when you’re not expecting it can be very difficult to take. Lilian still couldn’t comprehend what was going on, it all seemed like an expensive joke to her. What was really happening? It had been almost a year since she had sex. If she was pregnant she definitely would have known. She wasn’t a teenager who wouldn’t understand the symptoms of pregnancy. “If this is a joke, it’s not actually funny anymore,” Lilian tried to laugh but the fact that the doctor o
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Anxiousness and Curiosity
Laurel was already in bed when she got the call, her phone ringing was what woke her up, and hearing Lilian cry on the phone made her heart tighten. She quickly got up from her bed staring at her phone as she headed to her wardrobe to change her nightwear into something else. The location of the hospital entered her phone and she picked up the pace. She wore a white tank top with a blue Jean and quickly grabbed a jacket because of the cold. It was midnight already, it’d be dead cold outside. She hurried downstairs and grabbed her house key from the dining table. She was almost at the door when she remembered she didn’t take her car keys. Even though she didn’t like taking the old car, it was the only option she had that night. It would be difficult to get a cab at a time like that. She shrugged and hurried back to her room. Few minutes later she was on the road, thinking about every possible event that must have occurred to make Lilian call her in the middle of the night. She could
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Perfect Person
Laurel was in shock, how can Lilian be pregnant, she knew Lilian had stopped having sex with Tony a long time ago, and she was also aware that she had never had sex with Adonis. “That can’t be? Or is there something you’re not telling me?” Laurel questioned, staring at Lilian with her eyes wide. She had rushed down here thinking her best friend had an accident but it was something she couldn’t even imagine. Lilian also mentioned that Adonis dumped her, she heard right, but she was picking the issues one after the other. She’d never expect her night to turn out like this. “You know it all, Laurel. You know there’s nothing I don’t tell you. The doctor said it’s a cryptic pregnancy, I didn’t even know I was pregnant up until today. I’m so done, Laurel.” Lilian continued sobbing as she spoke. Laurel had helped her sit on the bed, she was looking like a high schooler who had lost her mind. Laurel closed her eyes, taking in the news she just heard. Lilian didn’t have to explain any fur

Laurel is Back I
“I’m closer to my death than I could ever be, I have chosen who the heir to my bulk of my inheritance is, and it will be read to you from my Will once I’m gone. Rest assured, everybody gets something. I must tell you this, none of my predecessors have shared the inheritance with their sons. I’m the first to do this, because of the complexity of my family. I do not want fighting between you two. Am I clear?” Winconstin narrated, coughing weakly after he had finished speaking. “Yes sir,” they both chorused. Adonis was disappointed, his anxiousness had just been postponed, he ran his hand through his hair as he grinded his teeth. Tony on the other hand heaved a sigh, this wasn’t really important to him now, although he was heartbroken that his father was dying, the fact that Laurel would be coming home soon made him so happy. “You two can go now and start the preparations for your wedding immediately,” Winconstin concluded, he so much hoped he’d be able to attend that wedding, because

Deathbed II
“Laurel was abducted by my mother,” Adonis revealed, placing one hand on his forehead. He just had to do it because he couldn’t read minds, they might be in there and Tony would go on and spit out what he knew. Someone who had just accused him of Laurel’s abduction and was eager to see Winconstin, that was a subtle sign. He couldn’t take that sort of risk. Tony was genuinely shocked, he wasn’t faking it or anything. All his mind went to Adonis and no one else, to think that Gina would do such a thing for her son was so sick. Gina was the first person to yell about the inheritance issue when she heard of him. Tony just realised why violent she could be, he didn’t think she’d be able to go this far. “I had no idea she was going to do it, although to be honest with you, it was my idea but I just said it, I had no plans to implement it. Remember when I called you to ask if we could have our wedding on the same day?” Tony nodded positively, his shock showed clearly in his expression.

Deathbed I
“Know what? For God’s sake.” Gina yelled, she was extremely tired and frustrated with Adonis naive attitude, it was becoming too much that she was starting to regret she ever did anything to help him become the heir. “Tony knows I was the one who abducted Laurel, he knows, he’s on his way here, father wants to see us both. We’re doomed.” Adonis approached the bed, pulling his tie loose. Gina sat upright on the bed, she was wearing a nightgown even though it wasn’t night yet, she didn’t seem surprised or shocked with what Adonis just revealed. “Take a chill pill, Adonis. All he did was accuse you, hope you haven’t agreed to his accusations?” Gina said, wondering why her son got so scared when he was a man. “I didn’t agree with his accusations, but I also didn’t ask him for evidence, even if he doesn’t have it yet. It’s only a matter of time before he does. I do not want my life ruined, Gina.” Adonis was beaming with anger right beside his mother’s bed. “It’s a bluff, Adonis. He ha

Secrets In The Open
Adonis stared at Tony, his eyes popping out from their sockets, Tony had found out, but he wasn’t ready to give himself up just like that, as he stared at Adonis in the silence, he thought of the best response to give. Tony waited for a response, the look in Adonis’s eyes told him he had caught him by the tail, he wouldn’t deny it now. Just when they were both looking at each other, Adonis’s phone rang, giving him some sort of relief. He answered the phone while still staring at Tony, and Walker’s voice blared from the other end. “Your father needs to see you now, it’s urgent.” “Okay, I’m on my way.” Adonis responded and kept the cell phone back in his inner pocket. “I do not know what you’re talking about, Tony. How in the world can you accuse me of adopting Laurel.” Adonis scoffed and stood, buttoned up his blazers and walked towards the exit of the restaurant. Tony didn’t say a word, he knew it was him; Adonis wasn’t really good at lying, maybe he thought he was. He allowed A

Exposure
Adonis glanced around until his eyes fell on Tony sitting at the far end of the medium sized restaurant. He was dressed like Adonis with the suit and everything, even with the shades, anyone who saw him would know he was wealthy. Adonis also came in his lamborghini, even though Tony had one he hadn’t driven it for one day. He preferred the Mercedes, it was a classy car, not like Lilian’s own in any way. Adonis walked briskly to the table Tony was occupying, drawing attention to himself, everyone's eyes were on him until he sat down. “You sure attract a lot of attention,” Tony chuckled lightly, glancing around. The people who were staring had started to go back to their business. “I can’t help it, and please do not mention my name out loud.” Adonis smiled broadly. He was still wondering why Tony called this meeting, he knew it would be more than just asking questions about family. Something was up and he could feel it. But he didn’t allow the anxiousness show on his expression, “I

Realisation
Tony felt so much relief hearing that name, he fell on his knees right where he stood, his guards were confused, they wanted to help him up but he waved them off. “She didn’t speak for too long before a man collected the phone and told us that she was safe and that we have absolutely nothing to worry about.” Freedman added, he heaved a sigh and waited for Tony’s response. Winconstin and the detective were right, it was all an empty threat but it didn’t seem like it was though, especially for him. “I’m so glad she’s alive, the uncertainty was getting on my nerves. Was it a private number?” Tony asked, although they wouldn’t make such a mistake. He stood up and walked slowly, now he knew where he should go. “It was. Who do you think is doing this, Tony? Does she have any friend that is so jealous of her? For what reason is she being held?” Freedman’s tone was changing into a frustrated one. The questions just kept coming. Now that he knew his daughter was alive and well, but was he

A newborn
The phone didn’t ring for five seconds before Tony picked up the call, and Katerina was surprised. Was he expecting a call? She thought. “Hello Katerina, not now please, I’m in the middle of a big problem.” Tony sounded disappointed from the other end. “Lilian just put to bed, that’s why I’m calling, it’s a girl.” Katerina reported the news afraid that Tony might hang up, she wanted to ask him what was really going on. “Oh! I’m really happy, Katerina, I guess our deal still stands?” Tony’s voice went from disappointed to surprised.“Yes, it does, but I wanted to ask you, why Laurel?” Katerina questioned, that was the main reason he called him. She could have broken the news to him any time, not immediately after Lilian gave birth. “I can’t answer that now, Katerina. We would talk about this when this issue on ground is over. Take care.” Tony replied and hung up the phone. Katerina sighed, glanced around the open space of the hospital before walking back into the building. She w

A familiar face
Gina walked slowly into the room, she had come all the way from the city just to see Laurel. Since her abduction, she hadn’t seen her physically, just through videos and pictures. Gina Marcellus wasn’t a very popular woman despite being the wife of the most popular and wealthiest man in the city, this was because everybody seemed to centre their attention on Winconstin, even now that he was retired and hardly comes out, he was still very relevant. However, because she wasn’t very popular, it didn't mean Gina could take chances, she had disguised like a normal person. She wasn’t wearing any expensive dress or jewellry and she didn’t even wear makeup which was what the media would recognize. She wore a skinny black Jean and boots, with a black jacket also, inside the jacket was nothing more than a tank top. It was the perfect disguise for someone who wasn’t really popular, she was also putting on a face cap that was turned backwards like she was a gangster. Laurel moved to the edge o

Two different kinds of Pain
Katerina was sitting at the dining table knitting baby clothes when she heard Lilian loud screams, it frightened the hell out of her, immediately making her heart start beating faster than usual. Katerina dropped the wool and knitting tool on the dining table and hurried to Lilian’s room. When she got there, Lilian was trying to sit upright on the bed while giving out sounds of pain. When Katerina saw her, she knew exactly what had happened and that was why she was here. But there was a problem, one she never thought of until this moment. Lilian never thought of it either or maybe it skipped her mind, Katerina couldn’t drive! “Calm down, Lily, breathe.” Katerina said, helping her down from the bed. Katerina flung Lilian’s right arm around her neck and held her by the waist as they walked slowly towards the door.They’d have to find a taxi, but it’d be harder at night. Katerina wished she had thought of that earlier. “We’d have to find a taxi, Lily. I can’t drive.” Katerina reveale
