Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 52
Nessa couldn't stop staring at the lady, she thought of expressing how funny everything sounded to her but pushed it aside.She needs to know the exact person that brought her here. Is it about Xavier or Chloe? So she will need to know how her reply will be.But then, why is she worried about it when she is already getting married to the man soon. If only she knew that he'll Chloe has been passing through because of her absence, and the amount of money Xavier had spent because of the little girl's health… she won't have the guts to keep uttering such rubbish to her hearing.If possibly she is here because of her fiance, then that's fair to handle because she has nothing to do with Xavier when he's married.But talking about Chloe, she can't resist it or two things will take place. She can't watch that girl pass through hell again when she's living and capable to care for her.Anyways, she's so sure that neither Chloe nor her father will tolerate it though."Lilian, you ought to tell m

**********After Xavier and his family had dinner at night, he sat comfortably on the sofa in the sitting room busy with the television.Chloe ran to him climbing on his thighs and resting her head on his chest. She felt so happy assuring herself that Vanessa will start work the next day."How was the day with Vanessa, hope you visited her at the bakery?" Xavier tried drawing the attention of the little girl who was about to doze off.She nodded while her eyes were shut closed. "I'm very sure she will start work tomorrow, I can't wait to see her again," Chloe uttered, her voice feeling weak.Xavier noticed that she was about to doze off on his thighs, he made her feel comfortable in his arms rather.He cuddled her and noticed she wasn't with him some minutes later, it gladdened her.It's high time Chloe slept off so easier as she just did, all these days before the accident occurred, she hardly shut her eyes talking more of dozing off.He lifted her into his arms and left them upstair

But he thought bounced back on her, she failed it this time. Since she was so sure that Nessa is getting Chloe ready for school, she left to her room hoping to meet Vanessa when the kids are out.Vanessa did her possible best to make sure Chloe left with her siblings. She handed over to Vanessa everything about her room.Vanessa smiled at the brave little girl leaving for school with her siblings. She is aware that their driver is already waiting for them at the compound.She led Chloe outside and made her seat carefully on the car seat. She waved them goodbye and left back to the building again."After all my caution, you went ahead and accepted to work here huh?" Lilian questioned Nessa who was almost stepping into Chloe's room.She shut the door closed again and faced Lilian fully."I have no other option than to embrace it with all my heart, besides it has nothing to do with you." Nessa gave her a reply courageously.For a moment, they both stood glaring at each other. Lilian coul

This lady will never give her a listening ear, she won't let her explain herself for goodness sake. And she's so sure that Xavier will believe her.She got on her feet and walked towards the dining where Lilian sat busy with her cellphone and meal too. She got seated opposite her trying to draw her attention."Lilian, you wouldn't let me explain anything. To be honest, I know nothing about that money, that's just the way I saw the cloth with that of Chloe…" Nessa uttered politely.The lady sitting opposite her didn't make a move nor did she say a word. For over fifteen seconds, Lilian didn't take a glance at her.Vanessa tried touching her."Get your filthy hands off me. How can I help you by the way? Do I have any business with you?" Lilian yelled with her eyes widened.Nessa swallowed deeply, her voice was so high that anyone outside would hear her."We aren't quarreling Lilian. You have to believe me, I don't know anything about the money in Xavier's pocket. How do you expect me to

Dinner was served in the dining room and everyone was expected to move to the dining room. Chloe has been lying on his father's thigh since he came into the sitting room.After Tracy had announced the food, she left for the stairs to go get her cellphone.Her movement quenched when she overheard a sentence that seemed awkward to her hearing."You heard me well, Xavier. I caught her myself with the cloth on her palm while she was about to do some laundry for Chloe." Lilian stated.Tracy climbed down the stairs and moved towards them. He found the strategic expression on her father's face."Go upstairs and call Vanessa, I want her here immediately." He ordered Ben.Chloe got seated beside his father, she never believed all Lilian uttered to be true.She had observed that Lilian hated Vanessa, and didn't want her to be employed at first. So she believed the lady could frame up an accusation so Vanessa would be sacked."Vanessa, is that true?" Xavier questioned her.Her eyes narrowed as s

Xavier stepped back to the bed, he couldn't get it at all, and Lilian tells him when to leave. Meanwhile, she was still asleep when he got ready for work, Tracy prepared his breakfast even when his so-called fiancee was with him in the same building."What is it again Lilian, for goodness sake stop testing my patience." He yelled at her.She bit her lips and caressed her hair, it felt really good seeing Xavier irritated. Besides, he left the babysitter last night, and she got sad. This is his punishment for making her feel bad."Xavier, you are not leaving here if only if you accede to sack that lady, trust me to do that myself if you aren't showing concern towards my feelings." Lilian narrated.He stepped backward grabbing the sentence she just made. "No one told you?"She lifted her face staring at his fact, precisely, she was waiting so he would complete the statement."Uh-huh? I'm listening…"He snorted and shook his head. "No one told you that laws aren't to be taken by you? You

"I'm so sorry for that." Vanessa pleaded. She had known that the little girl must be upset with her, but then she was still so sad about the incident that occurred the past day."So, dad took you to school today huh?" She asked her. Chloe nodded slightly."After I explained everything to him, he persisted in taking me to school himself, and then I would come to stay with you once I'm back from school." She narrated carefully.Vanessa affixed her eyes on the phone screen, "I'm sure you've taken your lunch right?""Yes, but I want a cupcake. Dad gave me some money to get one for myself." She started and handed the money over to her.Vanessa stared at the money and smiled widely. "This exact money is the reason your stepmother wants me punished by your father. She accused me of what I know nothing about and I sank into despair last night." She folded it and got on her feet.Chloe couldn't keep her eyes off her, she had known that she would pass through much pain last night. But then, it'

***********Xavier arrived home to get Tracy and Ben seated at the veranda, they both had that rigid expression on their faces revealing that they aren't feeling okay.He walked towards them."Hi kids, why are you all seated here? Hope all is well, and where is Chloe?" He asked them.Tracy got on her feet and took the briefcase from him. "We aren't fine Dad, and Chloe left her babysitter since she came back from school."He glanced at Ben who wasn't saying a single word, he only stared at the floor."Ben, you aren't gonna welcome Dad today?" He referred to his son.He lifted his face to him, twisting it the more. "Not until you kick that lady out of this house.""Why? What happened? Did it offend you?" He threw multiple questions at them all at a time.Tracy got seated again. "Yes dad, she offended us. Your so-called fiance ate the whole food but couldn't prepare any for our return.""You mean, you all have been starving since you returned from school including Chloe?" His eyes widen

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
