Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 34
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

Jorge raised an eyebrow at Miss Rena’s statement.“Henry?.” He asked Miss Rena in a questioning tone.His eyes danced from Miss Rena to Grace Matway and back in confusion.How could two sisters bear different surnames?“Yes!!, my name is Rena Henry.” She spoke proudly, with her head held up high as though a crown sat on it.“How could you be Henry while she bares Matway?.”Jorge asked Miss Rena and her sister who was sitting next to her.Rena looked over at Grace Matway and said. “She was adopted!!.” Grace Matway shook her index finger in the air indicating her sister's claim was wrong. “You were adopted.”Rena was thrown off by her sister's statement that she caught herself almost sneering at her sisters for saying such words to her in the presence of her guest and possibly losing interest.“Why do you think the company name is ‘Matway’ and not Henry?, do you really think our parents will be dumb to name it that when they knew I was adopted?.” Grace Matway made an alluring point.———

Miss Rena found herself pacing around the ground floor of her sister's company, her eyes wandered from the wall clock to her wristwatch repeatedly without any breaks.She walked quickly towards the receptionist and slammed her hand on the desk. “Where is my sister?.” She inquired about the whereabouts of her sister.The receptionist Google-eyed her in confusion. She looked down at the block which she had been busy Scribbling on.“Who is your sister?.” The receptionist asked in confusion though her confusion was smiled as she knew multiple women were working at the company as herself.Miss Rena sighed in frustration of waiting for too long to be attended to. “Grace Matway.” A long gasp was heard from almost every corner of the building, a few heads popped out at the sides to stare at who was speaking.“You’re…” her voice trailed off.“Rena, what are you doing here?.” Grace Matway asked with a smile on her face.Miss Rena sighed in reality. “I came to see you, child!!.” She giggles.Gr

Joshua’s POVI paced around in confusion, my fingers didn’t leave my mouth as I bit them uncontrollably like they were the only thing I had eaten all day.On second thought I actually had not eaten, I took a deep breath and pressed my back against the wall with tears running down my eyes endlessly.I could hear the faint sound of footsteps but I was too far gone to move my head to where the sound came from.“Sir!.” A pair of arms wrapped around me and shook me vigorously.My eyes fluttered, trying hard to see who had shaken me in such a manner and there before my very eyes was Miss Rena with tears almost rolling down her eyes.“Are you okay?.” I threw away my sadness for the main time while I tried my best to find out what was wrong with her.I drew her into my arms and gently caressed her back till I felt her breathing begin to normalize.I sighed deeply only for my eyes to perch on a spot where a young lady.“Dasha…” I whispered to myself.I couldn’t just push Miss Rena to the side

Years after.After Joshua had been broken and gone cold.“You want to change your first name? Mr Joshua?.” The woman behind the glass asked as she stared at the document placed on the counter.Joshua nodded with a flushed look on his face.“Okay Sir, and what will you change it to?.”“Xavier.”——It was the morning already, at exactly 4:30 am the alarm on Vannessa's wall rang out as her whole life depended on that sound. Vanessa's constant turning, groaning, and covering of ears only confirmed her consciousness. "Arrrrgh, good Heavens. Who gets woken rudely by a clock they bought with their money and accommodates at their home?"

" You need a fruit bread huh ? ", Vanessa referred to him.He nodded, " Yeah ! Make it three and tell me the amount including the cupcake ".She giggled, " You don't need to pay for the cupcake, it's a waste."" And it's your loss. Get Chloe one of the cupcakes, and tell me the total amount of the two cupcakes and three breadfruits ", he stated vividly to her hearing.She nodded and left to get it all. Within seconds, she was back with the items well-packaged. She handed it over to Chloe who had already stretched her hand to have it." Thank you so much, ma'am Vanessa. I love your cupcakes ", little Chloe commented cheerfully.She smiled at her, " Thank you too sweetheart, I love you "."

Before the clock struck midnight, troops of guests, well wishers and distant relatives flooded into the main hall in the palace-like-duplex.

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
