Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 17
"Is it cash or transfer?" The manager inquired with a stale look on his face while he continued to stare at Joshua."I will be trying to get a new cell if my phone is working properly." Joshua replied to the manager but he didn't fail to recognize his sarcasm as his face squeezed with so much hate and anger.His hands were clenched out as he gestured to the end of the drawer without saying a word.David moved swiftly towards it and got the card terminal from the drawer placing it on the table for Joshua and shooting a stare at him."What next?" He inquired without shifting his hateful stares."I will get my card now." He replied back without missing his words.Joshua reached out to his pocket trying to feel his card but it was only filled with so much emptiness.A strange surge of current went through his body as he searched for it as much as he could but he was finding it difficult."Where could I have dropped that?" He thought, trying as hard as he could to remember the last place t
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 18
Jousha’s POVI sat on my office desk with the clock ticking loudly due to the silence that occupied my office. Though I knew what the company did and what it is I still had a feeling of not belonging and not fitting into my new status.I turned my office chair and sat with my eyes fixed on the glass walls of my office.The transparent glass laid from the ceiling down to the very floor I was stepping on, I pushed my hands against the handle of my chair as I rose up swiftly and smoothly.I took casual steps towards the glass walls when a knock banged on my head, intruding into my privacy and causing me an instant headache that made me hiss in irritation.I sigh and speak in a subconscious stern tone. “Who is it?.” I questioned.“I was sent to you directly after I applied on the website.” I heard the soft fragile tone of a woman from the other end of the door.I took a deep breath, the cold air in my office was drawn into my nostrils, refreshing my energy almost immediately.“Come in,” I

Rena’s POVI looked over the kitchen counter where I was kneeling down on the ground in search of a pan to cook with only to see my sister tossing the pills beneath the sofa.“Hey!!.” I got on my feet quickly and yelled at her.Her movements were slow due to her illness but she tried her best to act as casual as possible despite knowing I had just seen her actions. I facepalmed myself in anger and frustration, I had been spending all my salary trying to get her healed and I could understand if she was tired of taking her regular pills but did she even for a second consider me?Didn’t she think of the effect her illness was causing on me, I pressed my back against the wall hopelessly while I watched as she puked out the contents of her stomach.Tears ran down my eyes, as much as I tried to ignore her and her actions I couldn’t ignore the fact that she was my sister and my responsibility from now till she was perfectly well and even after that.“I thought you were cooking?.” She asked

Rena burst into Jousha’s office with tears streaming down her, her kneels gave way as she came falling.Jousha got off his office chair quickly, he rushed towards her and cradled her in his arms.“It’s gonna be okay.” Jousha caressed her back gently while she sobbed loudly.A knock was heard on the other end of the door which was slightly open, Joshuas personal assistant who saw the lady run into Jousha’s office stood behind the door worried about what could have happened. She paused and took a step to the right which was where the slight opening was located.This enabled her to see what was going on, her boss ‘Mr Jousha’ was found sitting on the ground with a girl lying in his arms. His personal assistant felt a slight stomach ache in the realisation that her advances to her boss were all in vain.She stumped her feet and hurried away to cry her eyes out.“It’s gonna be okay.” Jousha counselled Rena not knowing what was wrong.Rena hardly wiped the tears off her eyes, she glanced at

Joshua took his place beside Rena who was visibly shaking, the tears from her eyes didn’t stop gushing down her cheeks.Joshua glanced at her every now and then but yet he knew nothing to do or say to make her feel comfortable or at least stop the crying.“What’s the name of the hospital?.” Jousha asked Rena.Rena pulled herself together and sat up, she pressed her back against the chair, as she stretched her neck to see ahead.“I think we are on the wrong track.” Rena wiped the tears from her eyes using her sleeves to enable her to see clearly. “She…” Rena paused and looked around.She stared at the noticeable landmarks and signs on the express road before she turned to Joshua.“I think we are on the wrong track! my sister is at the city general hospital.” Rena stuttered while trying to convey her message clearly to Joshua and most especially the driver who suddenly looked up in the rearview mirror.“That’s the other side of town, sir.” The driver said.Joshua nodded approvingly at t

“Why can’t she undergo surgery now?.” Joshua questioned the receptionist in a haste.The receptionist looked around for a few seconds and then paused, with her eyes fixed on a man she said to Joshua. “That’s the doctor!!, you can ask him further questions.” Joshua smiled at the receptionist and quickly ran off towards the doctor who the receptionist had directed him to. His step was quick and switched which caught the attention of everyone in the waiting room including Rena who was puzzled as to why her boss was practically chasing after his shadows.“Excuse me, sir!.” Joshua finally said after not being able to catch up with the doctor.The doctor paused but didn’t turn around to see who may have called out to him.“Doctor?.” Joshua tapped on the man’s shoulder.The Doctor turned around to face the man who was in a hast.“How can I help you, young man?.” He questioned Joshua.Joshua inhaled deeply and then exhaled. “There is a lady in this hospital, her name is Grace Matway and I he
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 23
Rena’s POVMy sister was in ward two, room number twelve.“That’s room ten,” I informed Joshua.His smile deepened. “That means we are almost there.” He said to me,I turned to him and caught him gawking at me, he raised his hand and rubbed it against the nape of his neck, and we both nervously stared at each other. Joshua reached out for my hand.Our fingers intertwined, I didn’t want this moment to end, I stared deep into his eyes as he did the same to me, I swallowed hard trying to control myself around him.“Get a hold of yourself, Rena!!.” I scolded myself.I blinked and liked straight ahead, trying so hard to control the emotions I had begun to build up for my employer. I was a mere worker in his company and not an heir to a multi-billion fortune which my late parents had left in my care but rather I was a poor brat.I sighed.“Room twelve!!.” Joshua cheered.I had been crying and craving to see my sister for almost an hour but now that I stood in front of her hospital room I co

Joshua could feel the intensity between the sisters though he knew nothing about the family Joshua knew it wasn’t just the fear of losing Grace Matway that was tearing Rena apart.While on the other hand, Rena saw Grace Matway’s illness as a way to get to her boss ‘Mr Joshua’ who she claimed was hers to keep and have.Grace Matway lay on the bed lifeless, she could barely feel a few parts of her body as she lay there breathing and moving her eyes to see around.“How do you feel?.” Joshua asked her as he closed the door behind him.Rena who was at the other side of the door looked up at it as it closed, her heart sinking at that exact moment like her world had ended.“I am fine.” Grace Matway attempted to smile.Joshua sat at the edge of the bed. “You don’t have to stress your lips to smile, I can read your eyes,” Joshua told her.“My sister likes you.” Grace Matway let the cat out of the bag.Joshua was taken aback by the sudden statement by Grace Matway.“Why do you say so?.” Joshua

Before the clock struck midnight, troops of guests, well wishers and distant relatives flooded into the main hall in the palace-like-duplex. It was an extravagant setting and interior design befitting a king. The liveliness in the air was similar to a mall on Christmas Eve. The occasional alone was worthy of such liveliness, everyone came in high expectations to see with their own eyes who will be celebrated as the heir. The celebration of the heir was going to last all throughout the night meanwhile Joshua knowing it was only a matter of time before the main event started decided not to be absent and approached the main hall.Joshua's PovEntering the main hall only to see the decor of the duplex walls was enchanting. “All this for an heir" I thought as I slowly approached my area of position for when the night officially began.To be honest, I felt a bit nervous, “haven't seen so many people in one place at once, maximum of what I've seen is within fifty to seventy...this– this is

Joshua’s POVI straightened the edges of the suit while I stared at the mirror, I kept my eyes fixed on the man I saw standing before me.“Is this…” I paused at the sound of the door cracking open.I turned my gaze to the woman at the door which I found peeping in as though she was scared to walk in.I sigh escaped my lips in frustration, I straightened my back and spoke in a subtle manner in order not to frighten the young lady. “How may I help you?.” I asked her.I saw her shiver from her head to toe visibly. “I…” she stuttered to form a single sentence.My eyes brows rose in confusion as to what she may have to say. “I was sent by your Godmother to deliver you this note.” She bowed to me.I pinched the bridge of my nose in anger. “How many times would I correct and plead to be called by my legal name!.” I scolded in anger.It indeed felt strange to be addressed with so much respect and value, I remained the old Joshua whose wife had abandoned for a man of higher status or at least

"I have that feeling that she's up to something, since I couldn't let her exercise her power over you. Lilian doesn't love me, I can see it through my children… if she does, then my family will be one of her priorities." Xavier added.Vanessa was totally baffled on what to say, she doesn't know where you start in judging the matter.She had turned out to be a counsel in a family she collided to work for… not just a babysitter again."But then, what's the reason for her coming? Did you let her know that you caught her with another man yesterday?" She questioned him.He nodded relaxing on the chair. "I don't hide feelings, especially when one hurts me. I am always ready to let you know the offence you committed.""She came begging for my forgiveness.. She wanted me to accept her back, but then I wasn't the one who kicked her out. She did that herself… okay, it would have been so easy to do that, but the fact that she's cheating on me is really eating me up." He narrated in an angry mann

Lilian rang Xavier's doorbell, and he ordered her into thinking it's Vanessa. But to his greatest shock… Lilian walked in.He stood on his feet with a chiselled face. He wasn't planning to see her, and not in the morning either."Good morning Xavier." She greeted him.He only nodded. "What again are you here to do Lilian? Thought you've gotten a new lover out there that's taking care of you?"She pouted her lips. "Don't tell me you're trying to kick me out of your house. Or you've chosen someone else over me huh?""You shut your fucking mouth. I should be asking you that… you left without telling me all because I scolded you for the crime you committed. And here you're jabbering." He retorted.She gasped. "You still can't believe that I know nothing about Vanessa's disappearance huh? Look, I just had to leave because you're molesting me." "Please Vanessa… sorry I mean Lilian. This is early morning so I wouldn't love to argue with you okay." He said moving to his wardrobe.Lilian bit

Despite the fact he hasn't been on good terms with Lilian, that won't urge him to choose her between Lilian.They are already in love with each other even before she began working for him, and so she believes that nothing can cut that bond.She has nothing binding her with Xavier, and here is Lilian making different plots for her.

Vanessa burst into laughter. "And what's that he had always wanted from her?" She asked Chloe who was all ears to her question."A kiss… a warm hug and the three words everyone knows…""Which is?""I love you…" Chloe responded.She bursted into laughter again. "You're so smart to know what love is all about at this age huh? Well that's by the way, keep going with your interesting story.""From that point, they became lovers and the next thing was to get married which took place in a haste. They lived happily ever after with their kids." She concluded."I'm sure you aren't expecting me to learn a lesson from this too." Vanessa referred to her.She chuckled and fell on the bed. "This time, you won't just learn a lesson… but you'll count your teeth with your tongue.""You must be crazy Chloe." She uttered giggling. She has nothing to do with the story and isn't after to know the reason behind her comment."Actually I'm crazy because of you… and the other side of it." She replied.Nessa h

She glanced at her and sniffed. "I miss my mother. I want her back to me. It's really heartbreaking that she's no more."Vanessa bit her lips, she understood how the girl felt. Living a life without a mother is kind of hurting. Talk more of the kids losing her in an early stage."My classmate molested me because of that, she bullied me and cursed me for being a motherless child because I refused to give her my answer script. She accused me of being the reason for my mother's death." She started again.Vanessa was right in her shoes this time, facing the pain of being accused that you're behind what you know nothing about. That's so painful that it can damage someone's identity."You need to wipe everything off your mind and focus on your education. She's sad because you will never let her take your position all in the name of being a friend." She cuddled her into her arms running her fingers in her hair.Tracy rested her head on her chest feeling relaxed, she wished not to let her go

During break hour, Ben left with his friends to go have some fun together.His closest friend amongst them drew him closer."You've never said anything about Melissa since today or you've changed your mind from approaching her…" he referred to Ben.He rolled his eyes. "I'm still thinking of how to do that, already you know I'm a shy type of guy.""This time you need to be courageous. I'm saying this because the new guy that came in our class had already approached her." He stated.His eyes widened and face grimaced. "What do you mean? He's already crushing on her."He knitted his eyebrows. "That's it. Though I'm not sure if Melissa accepted the request, but then you need to approach her too. It's much better than hiding, who knows she might love you.""Look, I don't want to quarrel with anyone because of a girl. I don't just want that." Ben remarked."What's yours will always be yours. If Melissa loves you, that guy can't take her away from you." His friend advised.He twisted his lip

"I just wish to sleep off instantly, so I can read my books at midnight." He muttered, shutting his eyes. •~•~•~•They all ran around the building all in the name of getting ready for school. It's obvious they had slept ahead of time.But they aren't to blame, they woke up to read in the middle of the night and it really affected them waking up as early as always.Tracy tried as much as she could to get their breakfast prepared so they wouldn't starve before leaving. She had concluded on preparing their lunch as well if there's much time ahead, otherwise… The lunch will be prepared once they're back.Chloe was still brushing their teeth when Vanessa stepped into her room, herself was also a bit late because she didn't sleep on time."Good morning ma'am Vanessa…" She greeted her from the bathroom.She responded with a smile and dropped her handbag. "You all woke up late right?""How did you know that?" Chloe asked her.She got seated on the bed. "Tracy is still preparing your breakfa
