Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 68
"Lilian, you did what?" He questioned her. Their eyes widened revealing how angry he felt.She couldn't say a word. Her eyes only studied the humans in the sitting room. That's just shit.She was unaware that Xavier would be back so early. Uhmmm! He never let them know of being back so early, and it's high time he returned by the time."I've done my best just to make sure you treat this child like yours, but all to no avail." He bit his lips, shutting his eyes closed. "Tell me, Lilian, what is it that I haven't done for you?"Lilian twisted her lips, she glared at Vanessa and then at the children. She rubbed her hair with her left palm and then released a loud hiss within them.Xavier watched her climb upstairs without giving a single answer to any of his questions. He turned to see his children all moody."Did she hurt?" He asked no one in particular.Ben nodded. "She did."Xavier clutched his palms, he swallowed deeply just to let go of every annoying feeling within him. Biting his

"This request is so polite… I should prepare his meal and get it to his office." She thought, circling her lips. She felt baffled at the moment, not knowing what to give as an answer.Xavier stood patiently waiting for her response, he had known the hunger won't spare him once he leaves the conference meeting back to his company.He doesn't feel like getting a meal from the eatery, he prefers to get a different taste for the day."What if Lilian finds out that the meal is for her fiance and then I'm taking it to his office once I'm done." She bit her upper lip. "But I can't keep the young man starving throughout the day, since his fiance doesn't care at all."She heaved a big sigh. "Isn't it better to get a meal from the eatery or resort? At least to save you the time I'll waste."Xavier shook his head expressing how difficult it is to accede to her idea."I want to taste a different meal today, not from the eatery again." He responded vividly.She had no other choice than to give in
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 70
After Xavier was done with his meal, he watched Vanessa pack the plates up and got them wrapped back again.He relaxed on his chair staring at the calm lady as she was in a hurry to leave. It's been a long time since he ate such a delicious meal like the one he took.Anyways, Tracy is trying her best to make the meals delicious and they are too, but it can never be compared with that of Vanessa.He can't say anything about Lilian, because since they met he hasn't had a meal prepared by her. She keeps giving one excuse or the other each time he demands to eat her meal.Not even her presence in his house pushed Lilian to the kitchen, she had insisted on not preparing a meal since Tracy can do that.This is one of the reasons he rejected her meal, he wants a meal prepared by Vanessa not her. If she minds seeing him taste her meal, then she has to do that for his children too, not because of Vanessa's presence."I'm about to leave, Mr. Xavier." Vanessa's voice drew him out of his thoughts
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 71
She was done with all she had to do and then was about to leave for her bakery.Just as she stepped into the sitting room, her eyes met with that of Lilian who sat on the sofa while the television was on but her interest wasn't in it.She glanced at her taking long steps to leave the room."Vanessa…" Lilian called her back.She paused her movement sparing her a glance, at this point she doesn't need anything that would spoil her mood for any reason."What's the problem?" She asked her back.Lilian got on her feet expressing a hostile smile on her face, her two palms transfixed on her waist as she moved towards her."You're leaving for your bakery right?" She asked her.Vanessa nodded. "Sure, that's where I'm heading to now.""Make sure you have a rethink over what I said, I'm hoping to get feedback from you soon."Nessa glanced at her and looked off instantly, there's nothing to think about this but she will have to try to."And you know what? I'm also pleading with you to leave Xavie
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 72
Lilian was seated on the bed when Xavier came in, the look on his face revealed how annoyed he felt.He pulled off his shirt and moved towards the bed, he was biting his lips while glaring at Lilian."So it has reached this extent, Lilian? You now work with hoodlums huh?" He yelled at her.She hissed and looked off at him. "What's the meaning of that question?""You just asked me that? Tell me the offense Vanessa committed that you're treating her this way? What exactly is your problem?"Lilian got down from the bed taking her cell phone with her. "I don't ever want to speak about that lady, you rejected my meal because of her and you still expect me to be happy, Xavier."She was so upset at that moment, if only he wasn't her fiance, then she might raise her hands on her. "Vanessa is just a babysitter in this home. I can't watch her take over my position or either my place in your heart." She remarked.He sat on the bed but couldn't say a word. Vanessa glared at him with much anger r

The next morning, Xavier was still lying on the bed when Lilian got up…had her shower, dressed and left the room.She didn't bother telling him of her whereabouts and he didn't bother to ask either.He has just decided to keep his eyes and ears away from her, all he needs this time is to monitor her activities in order to conclude if this marriage will work out for the two of them.After so many minutes Lilian had left the house, he stood from his bed… left for the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth.He left downstairs to find Ben cleaning the sitting room and Tracy busy in the kitchen. Chloe was assisting Tracy in the kitchen too, though she wasn't doing much but keeping her company.He was so happy to see his children doing the house chores without anyone giving a helping hand, meanwhile he was so sure that they would make a good family without a woman.When he stepped out of the kitchen to the sitting room, he met Vanessa standing behind the door… she looked more beaut

Vanessa couldn't find the day interesting any longer, she was so sad towards the ring she saw in Xavier's room.She doesn't need to be told that the ring is for their upcoming wedding ceremony, her heart was filled with sorrow and anger, yet she wasn't able to give a reason behind her strange feelings.This is the first time she's acting this way towards Xavier, although she has been feeling jealous all this while but not to this extent.While busy in her oven, her mind was so deserted…she felt all the blood running through her veins had dried up.Despite the fact she had lots of customers to attend to… she wasn't happy.The day I came with a big sale but she felt sad.In the evening time, Chleo visited her in the bakery… She offered her some cupcakes and the little girl felt excited being with her babysitter.She noticed the sudden feeling in Vanessa, because throughout the little moment had spent with her… Vanessa had not smiled for once.She had known her babysitter to be a cheerfu
Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 75
While they interacted, Vanessa fed Chloe herself. Just to make the little girl happy again, she decided to tell her lots of stories until she fell asleep.She led her on the bed and made sure she was covered with a blanket before she left the sofa, getting herself busy with her cell phone. The ring flashed in her mind again making her heart flip twice… this isn't what she's ready for, she is fighting within her to make sure everything about the ring is wiped out of her mind so she can be herself again, yet it keeps getting deeper and deeper.When she felt staying awake was enough, she left the bathroom and took a shower before laying beside Chloe on the bed. ********Xavier had been in deep thought since Chloe told him about Vanessa sleeping over with her for the night.He thought of what the little girl is up to for making such a request.This isn't the right time to demand such a request …all these days he had noticed something different in Vanessa. He knew the pains she had been

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. 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
