Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 41
The intense wind blew Chloe's hair, she loved how it smoothed on her skin and how the decorated flowers danced to its movement.She has been sitting on the veranda for more than five minutes now, yet didn't feel lonely.At this time, she had a lot of thoughts roaming in her head. It's all about ma'am Vanessa. This lady is creating in her mind all day long.From the first day she set her eyes on her, she loved everything about the lady." Why's my little sister sitting here all alone? She must be hungry right ? ", Came a familiar voice from her side.It's her brother. It is Ben.She adjusted by letting him get seated, " I want to go see ma'am Vanessa ", she stated.His brows furrowed. That sounds funny though." And who's that you're talking about ? ", He questioned her.She turned to face him, " A beautiful lady that owns a bakery some miles away from here. She's gorgeous and you won't believe it. I loved her from the first day I set foot in her bakery shop to get a cupcake. She's so

Vanessa was still all ears to what Chloe was about to say, she kept wondering what was running in the mind of such a little girl."I'll get back to you, ma'am Vanessa. I need to speak to my dad about it first before making decisions, that's because he will help me sort it out."Chloe stated.Nessa watched the little girl climb down from her thigh, she headed out of her bakery without taking a glance backward."My little angel will always trigger me. I wonder who the mother is and how she will always feel when staring at her daughter," Vanessa muttered silently while moving towards the oven.Chloe took to her heels and left back home in a haste, she met her siblings sitting at the veranda discussing a particular issue she doesn't care to know.Their eyes met and they two moved towards her Instantly."Why would you always be disobedient? I ordered you not to leave and I'll get you the cupcake, but you turned deaf ears to my order," Tracy scolded her.She contorted her face while taking a

Xavier was deep asleep when a heavy and continuous knock began hitting his ears. He wondered who the soul waking him up was.His eyes darted at the wall clock instantly, it was 11 pm.He gasped and turned to the door as it was ripped open. Chloe dashed in and shut it again.To be precise, a single smile wasn't on her face, she frowned like never before. He couldn't invent the last time she was in such a mood.He watched her as she moved closer to the bed and sat on it. The promise she made in the daytime sounded in her ear again.She wouldn't let him rest until her request is granted."My angel, what's wrong with you? You aren't sleeping."He referred to her daughter who bent her head in sorrow.She glanced at him and bent her head again, "I can't sleep dad, the only person in my mind is ma'am Vanessa and I want her beside me.""Do you ever know that the lady is already asleep at her comfort home, while you're here thinking about her, "Xavier uttered?She hissed, throwing the pillow aw
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 44
The wall clock ticked to her hearing, it wasn't that loud in sound, but because she was deep in thought, it sounded noisy to her.She kept glaring at the clock but was unable to take action towards it. There is nothing she can do to it other than to stop it from ticking which she doesn't want to do.Her eyes found her well-arranged bed, and her lips pulled into a slight smile. She needs to go to bed now rather than sticking herself into a thought that seems like forever.She climbed onto the bed and enveloped herself with the blanket, trying so much to fall asleep but she couldn't.What the hell is truly wrong with her? Is she truly okay or just trying to comfort herself when she can't? Those questions continuously rang in her ear but she couldn't get an answer to them.It's vivid that she can't sleep, she can't shut her eyes down for some minutes again. The only image that keeps appearing on her face is little Chloe and her father.The only discussion running in her head is that whic

Chloe stared at the lady standing before her, she wasn't able to smile nor was she able to break out in tears.But the truth be told, she wasn't expecting the lady she met. She had thought of setting her eyes on Vanessa once she let the door open, only for her to come in contact with a stranger.She stepped towards her dad and gripped his palm, like it wasn't much for her, she wrapped her palm around his waist.Lilian stepped closer to Xavier, she embraced her while he placed a kiss on her lips."I forbid this to ever happen. Don't tell me you're so serious about getting a wife dad, we don't need any woman in this home, or you think we're joking about it?" Tracy yelled at him.Lilian was so shocked, she couldn't believe the children would screech at their father just because of her presence."She's my wife, you got it right?""You don't need anyone to replace mum in this house, not as a wife or a mother. Dad, we love being without any, just tell her to leave please." Ben shrieked.Xav

There was silence in the room. Xavier glanced at his children while Lilian couldn't stop glaring at the lady standing some miles away from her fiance."Dad, ma'am Vanessa is here and you're looking off. Let's discuss this so she can go." Chloe referred to her father.He stood on his feet and headed towards the direction Vanessa stood. At a time, he turned to face his children."This is Miss Vanessa, why not offer her a seat?" He commented.Tracy let out a loud hiss and got seated while Ben looked off them as he was already seated all this while.He pretended that nothing had happened. "Thank you for coming, Vanessa. You can have a seat first.""Do you have a seat? Who the hell is she by the way?" Lilian asked him.He smiled. "She's Vanessa, I'll be employing her soon to babysit Chloe for peace to reign in this home."Chloe smiled expressing how happy she was, she glanced at her siblings to get how irritated they felt."Does it mean that I can't babysit Chloe? Employing someone else wh

Vanessa began reading the faces of all the souls present in the room. Her eyes darted around the room.She glanced at Tracy and swallowed deeply, this girl will give her a tough time if she's ever-present with them. With her actions and mode of speech to Lilian, she might skin her alive due to her aggressiveness.Her eyes caught Ben who had been counting on the ceilings all this while, she smiled at him. The young boy will be that type who doesn't say many words but is ready to take action and go to all extent to get his deals doneAnd then to Lilian, deep anger enveloped her. She noticed the raw hatred age had developed towards the lady just at her first sight.Precisely, she has been loving Xavier but has never wanted to fall a victim to being his concubine since she's so sure of not being the type and class of lady he desires.But despite all, even though she's trying her best to stop loving the young man, he noticed jealousy growing in her immediately after she set her eyes on Lil

Xavier saw himself trembling in fear, he was scared the two must have passed out because he saw the vehicle approaching his daughter.He arrived at the point where he saw his daughter see her lying lifelessly on Vanessa's thighs. She wasn't making a move.Nessa glanced at him and shook her head, she felt deep pains around her waist. She had protected the little girl though she was smashed by the vehicle, and then fell on the floor landing her waist forcefully first.He noticed the way she groaned when trying to get on her feet. Tears gushed down her cheeks instantly.Goose pimples fell on his skin, he never knew what was going on. His daughter isn't saying a word, and the lady can't get on her feet."What exactly is wrong with you? Are you feeling hurt?" He asked her while staring into her eyeballs.She swallowed deeply, "I can't stand on my feet, it hurts me so bad when I try to. I'm feeling a dislocation in my waist bone."Xavier shook his head, he stared at her daughter again and w

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
