THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST HEIR Chapter 127
Daisy Callaghan was mowing her lawn the next morning when she heard her phone vibrate in her pocket, she switched off the machine and reached deep into her pocket thinking that it was someone that she knew. Probably from church, because she missed service the previous day. "Hello?" She replied, squinting and trying to see the number but was finding it difficult to due to her failing eyesight."Good morning, ma'am. Am I onto Miss Daisy Callaghan?" Silas spoke and she removed the phone from her ear in shock mixed with fear. Her eyes widened considerably hoping that it wasn't her nemesis that was calling. "Who am I speaking with?" She replied instead and Silas rolled his eyes at her panicked tone. She was a wicked lady hence the reason for her fear. He cleared his throat, I believe that you have an agreement with a certain Mr. Leonard whom you promised that you would be around so why haven't we seen you?" Daisy was feeling very weird about going to the prison yard again because she d

Emma was basically bringing out some food from the microwave when she heard the doorbell ring. Leonard had refused to tell her the reason he was insistent that she didn't do anything because according to her, she didn't see any reason why he should be worried about Rufus but she still did the right thing by making sure that she didn't entertain him one bit. According to her, if she didn't ask him for any more information, maybe he would get the memo and stop calling her. It worked because Rufus didn't call for the past few days making her very happy.She peeped through the window and saw a man backing her and that got her wondering where exactly he had come from. There was no need for her to venture into opening the door when she couldn't recognize the fellow that was there.Antonio stuffed his hands into his pockets as he took a glance around the surroundings, he had come to realize that there was a problem somewhere. He didn't feel like there was something wrong but he found out th

"Thank you all for coming. I didn't know that you would make it here, so early. It's such a great honor to see you all here. What a lovely attendance." Antonio told his board of trustees. After that scandal, it had taken lots of insane conviction to finally say yes to him."Well, we are here now, hoping that you don't drag us through the mud again as usual. I really can't stomach all the stress of going to check who is ready and who isn't, what the news says and what it doesn't. It's a lot and I don't think I can do that at all. Now, if you would permit me. How far have you gone with the search for a wife?"Antonio was taken aback because he didn't know that they were actually serious about this stuff. He had no plans of getting married, at least not in the near future. "I have been on it but you know that marriage is not something that you just dive into. Like every business venture, you have to plan it accordingly and get the feasibility studies so that you can at least have somethi

Estelle jolted awake when she realized where she was. Her eyes roamed through the unfamiliar surroundings, trying to make sure that she hadn't been kidnapped. She sighed when she saw a familiar picture resting on the wall. 'Oh my goodness! I am in a man's house! I hope we didn't do anything!' she peeped under the duvet that had covered her skin and placed a hand over her mouth. She was only in her briefs. Had Silas taken advantage of her? She wondered. That would be unfair, it was because she trusted him that made her follow him because she knew that she was drunk but couldn't go home alone lest she drove into a ditch.A chuckle made her turn and she finally spotted Silas drinking a steaming cup of coffee with a wide smile on his face. "I know what you're thinking but that's not the case at all. I don't know what you take me for though." He muttered.She felt the hurt radiating from his voice and decided that she had to find a way to make it up to this guy with the various hurtful

"Sir, I think you will like this candidate, she fits the perfect picture of your wife. I know that you will like her sir." Rufus said while staring into his phone. It was just normal for him to be able to get her to do what he wanted.Antonio snorted, that was the song Rufus had been singing for the greater part of the day but at the end of the day, he later figured out that they were all trash. This was the last person he was willing to take a chance to look at because everyone was screaming nonsense. He was tired of having to take a look at anyone, if they didn't come correctly they should get the hell away from him.He was searching for a wife but not desperate. "So, let me see this person you're beating your chest that I'd like again this time. I'm tired of you always telling me the same thing. You're beginning to sound like a broken record and I don't know what to do with you at all." "Oh, really? Sir, I think you will really like this person, she's your spec and she will help y

Antonio donned his best pair of Italian shoes as he checked out his outfit in the mirror, it was lovely. He brushed his hair, he had made sure that he was looking very sharp before going out to meet Anita. She was a total package. He wanted to smell and look rich, so he opted for that suave look and loved the way the cologne was hitting him in the nostrils. She would be stunned by this ensemble, he had made sure of it. "Rufus, how do I look?" He inquired as he stepped out of his office. Rufus nodded. He was a male but he knew stuff when he saw one. This man had made a lot of efforts so that should also account for something though. "I think she will be impressed. Anyway, we are getting late. She's known to be a stickler for time. I really don't want you to give off a wrong first impression. That can be damning. I would want you to take her by surprise by being early so that it can score you brownie points." "Thank you very much, Rufus. You're becoming very industrious. If you kee

Leonard was getting restless in the prison cell. His release was taking too long. Estelle had managed to launch a foundation that helped in tackling issues of people who were wrongly accused but guess who was still locked up without the hope of release? You guessed right. Him. It was enough to make any sane person begin to think about various things. He was beginning to wonder if Silas was actually working for his release or if he was busy sleeping with his sister all in the name of a relationship and that affected his code of conduct in the prison.He was found brooding most of the time and sometimes too, he was also found snapping at his fellow prisoners making them wonder what caused the sudden change. It was a very slow but evident change that he was no longer the happy fellow that they knew. The prison boss walked up to him that day and saw the way he was acting. "If you have any problems why don't you just go ahead and tell the controller, after all, he's your in-law?" Leona

Estelle walked in right at the same time to see her brother and sister-in-law staring at each other. "Hey, Ava, do you want to see someone? Uncle Silas?" She called and the little girl bounced down from her mother's leg before leaving with Estelle.Emma didn't really know how to react to the way he was staring at her. "You don't think that is enough for me to get angry?" Leonard fumed. Emma sighed tiredly. "you don't get to pass your aggression on me. You told me to stay away from Rufus but I can't just send him away. He supplies me with a bit of information which I tell Silas and which helps with the investigations. You can't tell me not to talk to someone just because...." She trailed off leaving him to figure out whatever.Leonard was pissed that she wasn't just seeing the point. "this isn't about seeing another guy or not. I know Rufus from way back. That man is bad news I don't know you just don't see that." Emma rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted to do was to fight wit

“Hahaha, very funny" Antonio laughed hysterically, glaring over at his brother from the corner of his eyes.“And when exactly did you become a police officer that you think you have the right to tell me to freeze?” Antonio scoffed with malice in his voice.“I always knew you were dumb-witted but this is a whole new low,” he laughed again uncontrollably. “Do you think being a cop is transferable or something? Just because you’re an in-law to one?” Antonio asked sarcastically, but Leonard left Antonio's words hung in the air unanswered while giving time for the police to surround the house. "Leonard, Leonard, Leonard, " Antonio called out his name, his teeth making ‘tsk-tsk’ sounds as he shook his head in disapproval.“You amaze me sometimes, you know brother?” he continued. "Always thinking you were better than everyone else and had it all together but we both know you never did.” He said while he laughed moving towards Estelle but she pushed back from him. “Even taking our sister'

Leonard frantically looked through the CCTV cameras at the venue of the wedding, his face was beaded with sweat but he somehow managed to remain calm compared to the rest of them he was the one who was calm the most. The day before which was the last day before the wedding he had spoken with Estelle so how was it that she had just gone missing on the day of her wedding? How could she have just vanished into thin air without a word of warning? It had been a couple of hours already but the family wasn’t in a hurry to let the media or the public in general know anything about all that had happened, at least not until they got the bearing back together and had figured out at least something about what was going on, could she have run away on her wedding? That didn’t seem feasible, particularly because of how happy she was during the preparation, she was truly excited to be with Silas, but at the same time, she was afraid that something would happen and perhaps as a cruel joke played on

Leonard began to go through the accounts book and began to see a large number of errors regarding the money going in and out of the firm, at this time Antonio had been arrested so it was up to him to take over the company and oversee all that was going on within it. But what he was seeing in the books did not put him at ease at the very least, on the contrary,, it made him feel rather disturbed, what exactly had Antonio been doing for so long in the company, what had he been spending so much money on that he didn’t care about the losses it incurred so frequently?He asked himself inwardly and then with a sigh he stood up and decided to question the people who worked for Antonio starting with Alice.She was the only one he actually trusted to tell the truth about what was really going on in the company and every office, as for the others he could not exactly be certain which ones among them were still in contact with or still willing to work for Antonio. He couldn't be more angry at

Sophie paced back and forth in the place she had decided to take shelter which wasn't anywhere comfortable but was some place in the slums, her past self would never once have even imagined that she would ever have a day of such humiliation, a day when she would be trying so hard to fight a losing battle against the monster that was the law. And as it was in that moment this monster was mere minutes away from finding her and choking her to death, as she pondered she recalled what Antonio had said before, both what he said about having more affluence and what he told her to do then with Emma, but it was as she thought about it that she shook her head and decided not to, she was already in hot enough soup, she didn't need to add any more fire. She really didn't know everything about Antonio or what his endgame really was, but one thing she knew that she could count on if she decided to work with him was the fact that somebody was going to have to die, it was just a matter of who, and

The next dayAs Leonard looked up at the exterior of the company's building, memories started flooding in, he began feeling a sense of nostalgia.The company was a sleek and modern marvel! It appeared as a gleaming giant, its facade a vast expanse of silver-gray glass and steel that seemed to stretch up to the very sky. The entrance was marked by a bold, oversized logo in a bright, electric blue color that seemed to pulse with energy. The walls of the building appeared to be made of a shimmering glass material that reflected the surrounding light, giving it a sense of depth and dimensionality.Overall, it was one damn of a cutting-edge technological company and Leonard couldn't imagine how Antonio might have managed to ruin it.As he climbed the wide stairs leading to the entrance, he cleared his throat trying his best to ignore the nervousness he was feeling.Questions like–would he even be able to fit in? What if no one wanted him there? What if he couldn't catch up and missed ever

A week laterIn the courtroom, filled with a shimmering sense of hope, Leonard stood in his small wooden cubicle before the judge.Everyone present, expecting nothing but good judgment. Through the thick lenses of the judge looking down on everyone from her high seat, with a hand she picked up her gavel with one hand and struck it twice on the gavel stone.“Leonard, you are hereby acquitted and released from all your charges,” she declared with a sounding voice as light applause began to fill the room.As Leonard made his way out of the court, a whole flock of people including the press, news reporters, broadcasters, the media were outside waiting for Leonard to emerge and once they got sight of him, they all came running to him at once.Lenoard tried his best to stay composed as multiple cameras and mics were getting shoved in his face. “Leonard, look here!” One reporter said, “No, Leonard look here,” another blurted out. “So you were really accused?”The questions kept rolling and

Estelle adjusted herself on the seat provided before Leonard, sitting upright so she could get a clear view of her brother's face through the security glass partition.“What do you mean by that Leonard? You don't want to work for the company anymore when you come out?” Estelle asks, trying to clarify.Leonard noded, “Just as I said Estelle, I don't think going back to that company is what I want to do.”“Don't think like that Leo,” she started in a convincing voice. “I mean, the company's faith depends on you. Speaking of which, it has already run down significantly, although we haven't run into any debt. What I'm saying is if you leave now, it will be in total shambles.”Leonard looked away for a moment sighing and if he thought Estelle would give up so easily then he was mistaken.“I honestly don't understand how Antonio is running that company, people literally loved you Leonard! In fact it was those same people who advocated for you to be released after all the evidence came out a

In the boardroomThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with anticipation. Silas, a commanding presence with an air of authority, stood at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the faces of the gathered board members.“Thank you all for coming,” Silas began, his voice steady and firm. “Today, we address the matter of the DNA test results.”He looked over at the corner where the police officers he was here with today stood. And with a flicker of his wrist, one police officer came forward, handing him over a brown envelope.Silas took the brown envelope, bringing out the documents within, lifting it up in the air so everyone present in the boardroom could see so there'd be no chances of anyone accusing him that he'd slip anything in.“May a neutral person come forward?” Silas announced and a junior officer appeared before him from the crowd. He hands the documents over to him. “Distribute them.” With that the junior officer nodded, beginning from the first person, he went one aft
