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
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 31
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

Dasha’s POVI had just styled my hair into a ponytail and hung my bag on my shoulders before i heard a clashing sound that made me panic, i looked around and all that seemed harmful and handy was a curling iron next to me, i grabbed it and rushed out of my room, with my heart beating speeding. I stared down the stairs to find my parents having another riot.‘What could the problem be this time?.’ I rolled my eyes in anger, I was getting sick and irritated by the constant fighting and yelling from my parents.I turned around and walked majestically toward my bedroom door. I walked and carried myself as though I could not hear the destructive sound my parents made downstairs. I looked back and rolled my eyes. My hand laid on my bedroom doorknob, I turned it, pushed the door open and walked in. I dumbed the curling iron on my dressing table.I wore my boots and swung my hair to make sure it was a perfect fit for me. I walked right past my parents and toward my car which was packed out on

At the dawn of the day, Rena looked above the body of a half-naked man beside her to enable her to get a glimpse of the clock on her bedside table.“6:30?!!.” Rena rolled off the bed, her body hit against the hard floorboards of the beach house she had spent a night in.Rena sat up with her legs spread open and both hands in between her legs, her messy hair and ruined makeup highlighted her morning look.Rena looked around confused, she ran her fingers through her hair and then sighed deeply.“Ouch!.” The word eased out of her mouth like an airflow.Rena held on to the bed frame as she staggered back on her feet. “Driver?.” She snapped her fingers repeatedly trying to recall the name he had told her the night during their drinking game.“It’s Jorge!!.” He kissed his teeth.Rena looked down at her naked body in shock, she yanked the duvet off Jorge’s body and kicked the bed frame as hard as she could.Rena to the deliberate action to wrap up her body with the duvet. “Did we …”Jorge i

Rena’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off Mr Joshua and the girl we picked up from the airport.I sat Gloomy at the shotgun seat while staring at the rearview mirror, she constantly kept laughing and jumping on the seat like a teenager.“I wish Jorge was here.” I caught myself imagining, I shook my head and turned my eyes to the road in an attempt to clear my mind.“Was it because of how handsome he was or was it money that made these women cluster around him like ants in search of sugar but on a second thought?Wasn’t I just like them? Didn’t I do anything in my power to make him notice me?. A sigh exited my lips as I swore to myself. “I will never chase after any man even if I am crazily in love with him.” “We will drop you off at the hospital so you can take your sister home.” I heard Mr Joshua say and with no doubt, I knew he was speaking to me.I nodded without turning to get a glimpse of his face like I always did. “What if she is his sister?.” My thoughts began to wander off.“I

Grace Matway’s POV I yanked Rena into my arms and hugged her tight. “Let’s not fight again!.” Rena nodded at me.———Grace Matway glanced at her sister who was fast asleep beside her in bed, she shook her head angrily at the human alarm sent to wake her up at such early hours of the day.Grace Matway clumsily slid out of bed and moved towards her bedroom, she could barely see as she kept moving.Grace rubbed her hand across her eyelids while the other hand tapped on her thigh repeatedly trying to wake her up from her deep sleep. Grace Matway drew the door close behind her which made Rena move from one end of the bed to another.Her eyelids began to flutter open at the gentle sound of her sister closing the door which was followed by the loud knocking on the door, Rena turned slightly and at that exact moment her eyes met the wall clock that just strokes at 8 AM, her eyes broke open in the realisation that she had gone late to work.She took another glance at the wall clock but it wa

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

She wondered the sort of stupidity that came over Lilian that she would be misbehaving towards a caring man like Xavier. A type of man every woman desires to have.While laid on her bed, she began recalling the past. The first day she set her eyes on him… and how nice she had been since then.Anyways, not that she's being jealous of Xavier having a fiance, but she can't tell what's wrong with her feelings.She was already convinced that Xavier will never leave his fiance to her no matter what. 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. Then when her thinking comes to reality… only God knows the hell she will do to her. She covered herself with the blanket and slept off.******When Xavier arrived ho

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
