Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 24
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

Joshua’s POVI waved her goodbye as I walked towards Miss Rena as Grace Matway was being rushed towards the emergency room.“Is she going to be alright?.” Miss Rena asked me.I stared deep into her eyes and couldn’t help but see my ex-wife in her, she was calm and innocent but yet very mischievous.She asked me in a voice that seemed sad enough to make you sad but yet her eyes gave me the impression she wanted Grace Matway stock on that sick bed.I tapped her shoulder and smiled. “She will be fine.” I led her outside the hospital building trying to calm her down. “Lunch?.” I asked her.“How is she?.” The lady behind the counter asked us.“She is fine.” Miss Rena cheered.We both strolled out of the hospital building.“Where is your car?.As they both walked out of the hospital building, Rena felt a cold sensation sweep around her.Rena gazed at Joshua for a few seconds before her eyes returned to their exact spot.“What would you like to eat?.” Mr Joshua asked me.——I took a deep br

Grace Matway’s POVMy heart was aching as I watched the doctors flood the new room I was lying in.“Am I gonna be okay?.” I stuttered as I asked such a question.A nurse approached me with a tray in her hand, she placed the tray on a table beside me and leaned in close, her finger pulled a strand of my hair off my face and tucked it behind my ear.“You’re a beauty.” She smiled at me. “You’re gonna be okay Sweetie,” She reassured me.She looked somewhat younger than me but I didn’t know if it was my eyes or her voice that made me come to that conclusion.She was quick-witted while I lay there with no energy.An oxygen mask was put over my mouth.“...” my scream was subdued by the oxygen mask.The piercing feeling of the syringe caused me so much pain that I began to feel my body grow numb.———While undergoing surgery Grace Matway’s younger sibling was convincing herself that she was on a date with her boss and her sister was dead.“This tastes amazing.” Miss Rena said with her mouth f

Evelyn’s POVI had a terrible day at work and all I need is a foot massage! Or so I thought.I walked out of the elevator towards my apartment door as I fished in my handbag for my front door key.I paused for a second to think. “Did I leave my house open?.” I questioned myself when I saw the door slightly open.My lips fell open when I felt my house key inside my bag, I looked from one end of the hallway to the other and there was no one present to ask any questions.“You probably assumed you locked it Evelyn” With so much going on I was becoming clumsy and forgetful but never did I think I would leave my apartment open for an entire day and be comfortable at work without for once thinking about it.I took the first step closer to the door, I stretched my arm and grabbed the doorknob though my limbs were trembling.I drew my hand back in fear of what could await me inside my very own apartment.“I should call the security!.” I thought to myself.My feet were quick to rush into action
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 28
Grace Matway’s POVMy eyes began to flutter open slowly, the bright light that surrounded the room was blinding, I squicked for a moment before my eyes began to adjust to the lighting of my room.I hissed at the loud banging of the door, the blurry figure moved quickly towards me which agitated me.Who was it to make so much sound after what had just happened in the theatre?I kissed my teeth and tried to shade my eyes from the light and the quick movement of the woman in my room.I was harshly pulled from my bed. “You better leave my man or else I will wipe you off the face of this earth that you do not deserve to be in, in the first place!!.” The sound of my sister's voice and threat echoed in my head.I sighed, she let go of my neck letting me fall head flat on the bed.Tears welled up in my eyes as I began to feel overwhelmed, I never thought the hate she felt for me was up to this extent that she could threaten me with death.“Hi, girls.” Joshua’s cheerful voice caught me off gua

Evelyn’s POVI tried kicking and screaming but the energy in me was drained. “Help…” my voice was failing me.I successfully pried his hand off my neck.“Bastard!!.” I cursed breathlessly.I sat naked on the ground rubbing against my visibly red neck, how could he do such to me? How could he try to kill me in the middle of lovemaking?“What did you call me?.” He gripped hard on my jawline and squeezed it hard.Saliva began to drip out of my mouth, I clawed and scratched him as much as I could but who was I kidding? My little child’s show wasn’t getting me anywhere rather I was dying slowly.What could I do? How could I assume that my fiancé could attempt to kill me in my house?“Do you know what you are Evelyn Joshua?.” He asked me.I heard the snapping sound of my jaw breaking, tears didn’t seize running down my eyes.I kicked him hard in the groin and ran as fast as my failing body could carry me. I held onto the edge of the wall and pulled my stiff left leg.“Come out, come out wh

Joshua’s POVFor the first time in the past twenty-four hours, I saw a smile on both sister's lips as they conversed in some unknown conversation.I sat on the sidelines letting them have their moment when my phone began to buzz, I dug into my trouser pockets almost immediately and pulled out my cell phone. I looked up at the sisters to catch them gazing at me intensely, Grace Matway was first to look away while Miss Rena took a few more seconds stealing glances at me before she twisted her neck to her sister and once again they resumed their conversation like I had not just interrupted them for a second.“Evelyn?.” I paused in shock, I was astonished that she could call me after all that had been said and done between us both I assumed I would never have to cross paths with her though she was the exact reason I refused to change my call line.I stood up and excused myself. “Girls! I will be back soon.” I told them and walked out of the hospital room.I sat on the bench outside the h

Miss Rena sat alone as the car drove her back to her apartment as she had asked for. The driver looked up at the rearview mirror and adjusted it nervously. “Wouldn’t you make a stop at the hospital to see your sister one last time before you call it a day?.” She asked her.Miss Rena sighed and shook her head negatively without saying a word to him.She was devastated after all she had seen at white tree estate, she knew what love was when she saw it and she could tell Joshua loved the lady who laid on the stretcher unconditionally and she knew because she saw such love between her parents.“You’re a fool, Rena!.” Miss Rena cursed herself in her thoughts.Though her face was a hard shell of zero emotions, Miss Rena was breaking inside, she was dying of the pain that the man she had finally developed feelings for wanted someone else just as she wanted him.“They are married aren’t they?.” Miss Rena caught herself asking the driver personal questions about her boss.The driver signed he

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

CHAPTER 94
She wondered the sort of stupidity that came over Lilian that she would be misbehaving towards a caring man like Xavier.

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
