THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST HEIR Chapter 142
“How are you?” Emma asked Leonard as she scanned through his body to be sure he was fine.Staying here was going to be so tough but she just hoped that he was coping well to everything that was happening around him over here.“I’m done, how are you?” He inquired in a very calm tone that just made her at peace immediately. Leonard had such a very good personality to begin with, she knew he was going through a lot here but he was never going to show it. She just hoped that he was actually okay and not just acting like he was when he wasn’t.“How’s everything? Do you need anything? I should have brought you something but I was in a hurry to meet the visiting time, I’m sorry.”“There’s no need to be sorry for anything, it’s fine and I’m doing very okay here so you don’t have to feel pitiful for me, I can manage very well here on my own, so don’t bother too much.” He said with a soft smile plastered on his countenance.“Why do you have to be so tough? You don’t have to act like this all th

Antonio strode into the office the next day with annoyance on his face. Everyone that he had given simple tasks to failed woefully and that caused him to begin to have a rethink. Was there something wrong with him that he wasn't aware of?"Good morning, sir. There's a new message for you." He merely stared at Rufus who usually looked bubbly feeling a bit down. He knew who this man was but he was only playing along. Maybe he could offer him money to do his bidding. He just didn't want it to backfire on him. "Are you okay?" Rufus blinked at the concerned tone. " Yeah, I'm fine. Is there any problem?" "Not yet but I know that you're not operating at your maximum today, can you tell me the reason for that?" "It's nothing serious. I'm just trying to get myself in order. I experience a very bad breakup so I'm channelling my energy into something more productive."That made Antonio smile. That was the best state to offer him a mouthwatering contract that he would never be able to resist

The drive from Emma's house to the suspected building where Ava was, was a long drive. At one point, she had begun to feel like this was going to be a great burden because what would be their fates if they finally arrived there and they found out that it was all a lie and that they were just being deceived.She called Silas who joined in the chase instead of getting Sophie home first. He could drop her by one hospital on the way side so that she'd be taken care of and her bruises could be cleaned. "I'm on my way, eighteen minutes away from Fort mouth, are you sure of the address?" "Yes, I am. My friend told me where it is." Emma lied. She knew that they'd be surprised when they finally arrived and saw that the friend was none but Rufus. She was desperate and had no choice so she had to make sure that there was a solution wherever she could find one.Rufus stared at her, she was lying to them again. " When are you going to open up to them and let them know what's actually happening?

Emma struggled violently against the car handle trying to free herself by all means there was no way she was going to be staying in here till he drove her to God knows when.Rufus cast a glance backward and relished the sight of her making a fuss. "I told you not to injure yourself. You don't want to be caught doing this. You're too fine to be doing all of that." She felt like slapping him hard across the face because he was speeding at an insane level that made her blood pressure also rise. Her blood pressure was almost hitting the roof and all that she could think of was the fact that there was probably someone trying to kill her too. "Antonio got you to work against me because I didn't agree to leave my husband alone huh? You're just a pathetic soul who is using that as an avenue for his madness and yes, I would make sure that you lose your life when I get free. I would tell the whole world your atrocities!" Emma spat still, yanking the cuffs. Her hand began to bleed yet she di

Estelle paced in Silas' room when she heard that Emma was kidnapped by the one and only Rufus. "I knew that man was bad news. Emma and seeing the good in people. Of all people to mix with, she went ahead to choose him?" "That is insane. I can't even stomach what that would mean right now. I can't imagine what she would be going through right now." She muttered aggressively as she wandered through the room.There was no need for Silas to join the conversation if he knew that he was not going to contribute anything tangible. All he should have been after was to make sure that he got her out of that calamity..Emma was too precious to go through that. "I knew something was wrong when she hesitated. I hope you have not told Leonard?" "No, I've not. I don't know what he would do if he heard the news but I guess he still has the right to know." Estelle shrugged and ran her hands down her hair to stop the worry that she felt. "Are you sure that you're not going to restrain from telling hi

Emma struggled against Rufus' hold when he kept dragging her toward the place he was taking her to. Although she had lived in this city for the greater part of her life she had never been here before. She was pissed by the way that she was being pulled like a cart."Do you know that you can just let me walk and we'll still get there?" She complained as she tried to observe the landmarks so that it would help her when she was about to leave. There was nothing stopping her from doing what she should have done all these while. "I see you and I hate that you think that you can outsmart me Emma, just accept your fate." Emma sighed and allowed him to drag her along whilst still taking notes. It was until they entered a bushy arena that she knew that there was a problem. It was an expanse filled with land and there was no one to turn to and ask for help. It was so crazy that all she had to do was to turn her head and behold the mess that she was about to fall into. "Are you kidding me ri

Leonard groaned when he heard the news. It was Estelle who broke it to him. She couldn't keep on lying to him whenever she visited. He deserved to know what was happening and that was why she told him "I warned her not to dally with this guy. It was something that I could see coming. Didn't you know the man that was terrorizing the neighborhood when we were younger. That was his father. There was every high chance that he would turn out that way because children are perfect emulators." He turned around in search of Ava. "Where is Ava at? I hope she's not with Sophie?" "No, she's not. I'm just trying to let her lay low. She's at Silas' place. Although, I don't think we are still together anymore." Leonard stroked his few days old beard. His sister was the epitome of a self sabotaging queen. She lived for it. "You are the one at fault this time. That man worships the ground you walk on and doesn't ask me how. I see the way he looks at you but you're always thinking that it's the opp

Sophie landed softly at the airport, she was determined to make something out of her life with or without Emma's input. Emma was not yet found so she used this opportunity to run away. By the time she would be found, she would not have to confess anymore. After reading that her confession could earn her some time in jail she ran away. As soon as she got to the checkpoint, she tendered her passport and watched the officer open her back gently. It was termed safe so it went to the other tarmac. She tendered all the other documents and it became a long wait. As they placed the scanner on her forehead, she heard a beep. That made her jump in fright, for all she knew, she wasn't carrying anything that could have warranted it but right now, she was feeling weird.A lot of people on the line also shot her wicked stares which made her feel very ashamed. "Ma'am, please wait over there." She stood her ground, she wasn't going to move an inch, especially not after she had wasted too much time

“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
