ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR And So it Begins
“You did what?” Laurel snapped, her mouth still agape. Her eyes popped out as if they’d fall off their sockets. The shock on her face was real and she couldn’t imagine Lilian would do such a thing. The last time they met, Lilian was cool and was even trying to be the breadwinner. What could have changed so suddenly? “You heard me, Laurel,” Lilian replied, rolling her eyes. She didn’t really want to bring this issue up, but she knew eventually Laurel would ask about Tony and she wasn’t going to lie to her best friend. Now she’d have to tell her about Adonis too. She hoped it wouldn't come to that though. “How could you do that, Laurel? And you didn’t even bother telling me anything, but why exactly did you divorce him?” Laurel was still surprised, she just couldn’t believe Lilian would be this heartless, because that’s what it was seeming like. Divorcing a man who wasn’t doing well, is a sign of wickedness, Laurel thought. “I was going to tell you, Laurel. You know I don’t keep th
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Meeting
Adonis confusion skyrocketed, he just couldn’t comprehend what his mother was trying to say. Where did a son come out from all of a sudden? After all these years? “I still can’t understand what you’re trying to insinuate here, mother. Are you saying I have a brother?” Adonis expressed his shock and confusion. There was a rollercoaster of thoughts going on and on in his head, if this is true, he was still the first child so there shouldn’t be a big deal, but the fact that his mother was making a fuss about it meant that there was more to it than meets the eye. “Not a brother that I gave birth to, your father had a secret child very long ago, and that child is a man now, just around your age.” Gina clarified, she could imagine how Adonis was feeling right now, he’d be so confused. “So you’re saying, I have a step brother, and this step brother is in competition with me over father’s inheritance?” “Exactly, Adonis!” Gina noted, relaxing on the one seater sofa she was occupying. The
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Accept or Reject
“I’ve a job for you in my company, Tony. It’s my way of giving back to you, on behalf of my friend.” Laurel revealed, her eyes locked on Tony’s. He seemed somewhat surprised but wasn’t expressing it as much as she would have expected. “Really?” Tony tried to play it cool, he wasn’t expecting that at all, not in the slightest. “Yes, Tony. I secured a job for you,” Laurel responded with a smile, she loved the glitter in Tony’s eyes. She was going to tell Lilian after Tony starts working. If she doesn’t, and Lilian finds out on her own; it was going to be a problem. She knew that. “I’m so grateful for this, Laurel. What’s the job though?” Tony wanted to know what position she got for him before he turned down her offer. He was rather confused at that point, he wasn’t sure if he should reveal to Laurel that he was now wealthy or not. But to think that Laurel could do this, it really got to his heart and almost made him start tearing up, but he shrugged off the thought and maintained
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Father and Son
“I’m talking to you, father!” Adonis raised his voice, breathing heavily; like someone who just came off a treadmill. He wasn’t so pissed when he left his mother’s area of the mansion, but as he thought about the possibility of this new son becoming the heir, the anger just continued to boil inside of him like a pool of larvae. “Calm down, Ado-,” “I wasn’t talking to you, Walker,” Adonis shut him up, pointing a finger at him while he was still facing his father. Winconstin wasn’t surprised anymore, he poured himself another glass of scotch and sipped it, he knew this was Gina’s work; she probably had brain washed Adonis to think he was going to make Tony the heir.“Sit down, Adonis,” his father sighed, placing his glass of scotch on the table in front of him. This was going to be one long conversation, even though he already knew in his mind who he wanted to make his heir, he still needed to address these issues. Adonis wanted to retaliate but thought it through, his father wasn’
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR A Little Show Off
“You can call me Riley, I’m the Managing Director of this company and my accountant here tells me you’d make a good driver.” The woman on the other side of the desk spoke so politely, even though she was in a high position. She just told Tony to call her Riley, it was rare to see people like this. Her voice was calm and she was a beautiful lady with dark shiny flowing hair, grey eyes and an oval shaped face. “Yes I am,” Tony managed a smile, stealing a glance at Laurel. “Alright then, since this is a recommendation, there’s no need for any rigorous interview. You can start the job tomorrow, the pay and other details would be sent to you. Please you’ve to be punctual.” Riley concluded, and shifted her gaze to the computer in front of her. “I will,” Tony replied, rising from the chair. “Have a nice day, see you tomorrow,” Riley said, without looking up from her computer. Tony walked briskly towards the door, as he was about to turn the knob, he heard Laurel’s voice. “I’d be leav
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Inception of Lilian’s Dream I
The astonishment on the car wash boss’s face was nothing to write home about, he shifted his gaze from the boss to the young boys who were standing with their eyes fixated on him and with dropping jaws. They couldn’t believe that the man who they humiliated just a few days ago came into the car wash with a car this expensive. Tony was about to speak again, when one of the boys spoke from within the boys who were gathered, it was no other person than Hakeem; the one who had led the humiliation that day. “The car isn’t his, he probably got a job as a chauffeur for a wealthy man,” None of the boys laughed at Hakeem’s joke, because they weren’t so sure if he was telling the truth. “I like you, Hakeem. You don’t give up and it’s a good thing, it’s just that you’re using it wrongly,” Tony smiled, walking slowly to the front of his car and sat down on the bonnet. As soon as Hakeem said those words, the boss had also started having second thoughts; it would best explain this sudden chan
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Inception of Lilian’s dream II
Lilian was speechless as she paused chewing the steak in her mouth, instead of chewing; she allowed it go down her throat. Her dream of getting married to Adonis was happening quicker than she had expected, and it made her smile shyly even with her surprised expression. “Do you think it’s too early?” Adonis spoke again, if not for the situation on ground; to him it was definitely happening too fast. But he wanted to hear Lilian side. “I’m not sure, if it means I get to see you all night, then anytime is fine by me,” Lilian smiled, the glow in her eyes would tell anyone just how joyful she was in that moment. Sooner or later, she’d be the wife of one of the richest men in the city. And not just one of the wealthy men, but the son of Sir Winconstin the second, she never thought she would meet a man like him. She didn’t even know who he was till he told her his name and just like that, she fell in love with him and the money he controlled. It was what she was looking for and God broug
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR In My Feelings
The fork fell off her hands and hit the ceramic plate making a tingling sound that made everyone in the restaurant turn around to look in her direction. Laurel was expecting something similar to this but it still felt awfully surprising when she heard it. Tony was falling in love with her? Maybe she shouldn’t have gone to his house. Maybe Lilian was right, she should have just stayed away. But it wasn’t as if it was one sided, she was also feeling something for him but was yet to admit it. “I….I…i mean, I don’t know what to say, honestly.” Laurel stuttered, she closed her eyes for a second and heaved a sigh. Maybe this was a dream, she’d definitely like to wake up now. She didn’t like the way she was feeling at the moment, the awkwardness and the confusion of whether she reciprocated or not was making her uncomfortable.“You don’t need to say anything, I’m very certain that you feel the same way,” Tony said, sitting relaxed; he was confident about that, but at the back of his mind

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
