THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST HEIR Chapter 153
Ava, who had eaten as many snacks as she could with the amount given to her, continued playing at the reception for a little while longer, but quickly got bored and went back to where she had left Silas and Estelle. At this point she saw the man having a phone call and moved in closer, by the time she reached him he had ended the call."What is it? " Estelle asked Silas when she saw the worried look on his face, "What happened? " a part of her didn't believe it was anything that concerned hers but another part of her was more concerned that whatever it was it somehow had something to do with Leonard. "It's nothing, there is just something of importance that I need to take care of back at the office, I'll be back soon, I promise I won't stay long at all, the two of you can just wait for me together right here, do not go anywhere until I return, " Silas said hurriedly and then rushed out of the hospital when Estelle had answered him positively. As he rushed out of the hospital, diffe

Antonio exhaled lightly and sank back into his seat when Sophie had left. He couldn't stand her presence anymore and felt suffocated whenever he even stayed in the same room as her. He began to play with a pen on his desk as he continued to wait for the goods that he had bought. As he did so he also thought deeply and hard about what he would tell his people who were beginning to question him, he had put on a bold face in front of Sophie but all that he had said was not necessarily true, his mind was in a mess and all or most of his workers were now expecting money that he knew they would never receive, he didn't plan on giving any of them a single cent. So he had to fix things somehow, the only reason why he had agreed to their terms at that time was that he was in different need of help and was focusing on one thing at a time, but as of this moment, his only real plan was to sever whatever it was that tied him to anything incriminating and at the same time keel all of the possessi

Antonio opened his eyes and yawned. He slowly sat up in his bed and turned to the clock on his bed stand. ‘It isn’t even eight A.M yet. Where is all the noise coming from?’ his sleepy mind thought as he looked around his room, trying to find the source of the sound that had woken him up since it wasn’t his alarm.He was getting frustrated when he noticed his phone on the foot of his bed, buzzing with notifications.“What the hell is going on?” he yawned and stretched out on his bed. “Did I post something last night?” he scratched his head, trying to recall if he had posted a picture before sleeping. From the notification sounds, he knew it could only mean social media. A lot of people were reacting to his posts and probably tagging him, and that was why his phone was blowing up.He let out a sigh and got off his bed. “I’ll just let everyone calm down first. I don’t have the energy to sort this out. My social media manager should figure it out and let me know what’s going on,” he mut

He gets In his car and makes his way to one of his villas at the edge of the city. No one knew he owned it, not even his lawyer. It was his hideout for whenever he wanted to be alone. He got to the villa and went straight up to his room. The entire villa was maintained by one woman, and she did a great job of keeping the house clean. Arriving at his room, Antonio tried to call his lawyer, trying to assess the damage, but his line had been barred.“What the hell? Barred? But it was functioning just a while ago,” he muttered angrily and tried another line but the same result. Out of anger, he flung the phone across the room, and it fell, breaking upon impact.“Fuck!” he frowned and paced about his room for a while, and his maid quickly rushed into the room, hearing the sound of something breaking.“Sir Antonio, are you alright?” the matured lady, Rosa, asked as she rushed in.“Yeah, yeah,” Antonio sighed and looked at his damaged phone.“You know what? Can you do me a favor and get

In the city’s penitentiary, Ava and Estelle sat on a bench, with a thick glass in front of them, waiting for Leonard, and soon enough, he came, dressed in his orange coverall.“Daddy!” Ava exclaimed immediately she saw him.“Hey Pumpkin, how are you?” Leonard smiled as he sat down and turned on the mic on his side. “I’m not fine Daddy,” the little girl said and tears began rolling down her face.“I hate it out here without you. I want you to come back home daddy, I miss you,” she cried.Leonard felt a pain in his heart at the sight of his crying five year old daughter, and tears found their way down his cheeks.“Don’t worry Pumpkin, I’ll be home with you soon, sooner than you expect,” he said, trying to cheer her up, but it was not working.“You say that every time Daddy,” Ava sobbed. “Are you going to be here forever?” “No Pumpkin, don’t think that way,” Leonard quickly said. “I promise, I promise I’ll be home soon, and I mean it this time,” he said with a smile. “Cross your heart

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

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

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

“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
