Dreaded Heir's Returned CHAPTER 73
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

The door pushed open and Lilian dashed in. The expression on her face was so chiselled that he had suspected that she had been at the doorpost all this while."What did you just say now, Xavier? You love who?... You love her right?"She let out a wicked smile. "No wonder you've been acting strange towards me since I came here. So you love yet you're hiding it from me? Why not just go ahead and tell me that you are not interested in me any longer so I can make my way out of your life?"He moved towards Lillian staring into her eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt you, and the love that I'm talking about isn't that type going on in your mind, stop misquoting me…"Yes, I love her because of how assiduously she's working for me… not because I am taking her in replace of you. You just need to understand me for once."Lillian hit his cheek with her left palm. "I think it's high time I began tolerating all your deeds, now just tell me the truth. You've been having affairs with her right? Haven't you

She heaved a big sigh trying to comfort herself. "I want you to direct me to the hoodlum who has been working for you all this while.""And what the heck are you doing with a hoodlum? Are you out of your senses?"She glanced at the lady and bent her head again. "I know you are very shocked but I just need a hoodlum as it stands. I can't just sit and watch another lady take away my fiance."She nodded…"Ohh yes! When are you getting married? It's high time Xavier engaged you.""Anyways, I came over to his home… but there is this one lady working for her and she is trying as much as possible to take my place in his heart and you know what, I can't let that happen. I just need to deal with that lady so much… I need to take her away from his side no matter what it will cost.""That's not a problem."The lady stood and left into her bedroom, she came back with a piece of paper and then handed it over to Lilian."This is his contact, make sure you reach him as soon as possible and you know w

He got seated again thinking of what to do. "The conference meeting might take lots of hours, I will need to take my lunch first before leaving… because I don't know how long this meeting will last." he thought to himself and got on his feet leaving his office.He stepped into the eatery and ordered a light meal which was served immediately. While gobbling on his food, he got a message on his cell phone about the conference meeting."Soon I'll be there, I'm on my way and will be with you all immediately." He soliloquized putting back the phone into his pocket.When he was through with the meal, he dropped the glass of water placed beside the plate just to see it slip off his palm."Oh my God! What the heck is happening to me…" he screamed, getting on his feet.The waitress rushed towards him with a little towel to dry the water that spilled on his shirt. "It's ok dear, you don't need to worry… I should be the one to apologise for the broken glass.""That's ok sir, it's just an acciden

look up to it… rather I will work my plans on you and make sure you will regret everything." he licked his lips in agony.*******Due to the anger in him, he arrived home and left to his bedroom without saying a word to his children.The only thing he managed is to respond to their greeting not minding if their facial expression was bright., especially that of Chloe.He twitched into his bedroom to see Lillian lying on the bed, with the way he felt he didn't bother mentioning her name nor did Lillian bother to say a word to him.He had lost his appetite already and so there's no need for dinner, so he dropped his briefcase on the table and began undressing himself.To hell with the dude he met at the conference today, if he had known he would meet Jasper he would have taken an excuse so he wouldn't attend the meeting."What brought him back to New York anyways? I thought he had left the city for goodness sake." He pouted his lips in dismay. "He's trying to see the other side of me… h

They shook their heads in unison. "Not at all, but we should be asking you that because you didn't bother to know how we're feeling and you haven't taken your dinner."He heaved a big sigh. "You won't get what's going on, anyway let the dinner be for tonight."He glanced at the dining and no-one was seated there. "Did you ever see Vanessa today?"The two shook their heads. "Nope! We didn't. It's just in the morning and we haven't seen her since we came back from school, she hasn't been present for work.""And did you bother checking on her?"Tracy glanced at Ben who was already staring at her, they shook their heads."We didn't…"He pouted his lips in an angry manner. "You two are very silly, I mean so crazy. The babysitter isn't here and you didn't even bother to know what's going on… even if it's a call you couldn't give me.""Because we know you cooperate with her so well, and maybe you spoke with her through the phone. That's why we didn't bother giving you a call about her." Tra

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
