THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST HEIR Chapter 18
Leonard peeped through the window of the ward and watched Emma stroking his daughter's hair while reading her a bedtime story. It warmed his heart greatly and he couldn't help but wonder if things would have been different if he had met this sister. He saw her lips move when she was staring at him and he realized that she was staring at him.Emma giggled softly when she saw Leonard standing at the door watching them. A little blush crept up her face which she prayed simmered down before she could talk to her. "I don't think you know how amazing you are when you do these things." He muttered and she shook her head at his words. He cast a glance at his daughter who lay on the bed smiling weakly at him."Daddy, I've missed you." She whispered and Leonard felt his hard heart break at the sight of his daughter still in pain. It was evident in her eyes but his relief was that she was conscious. "I missed you too, darling. I'm happy you're back."Emma rose and excused the duo to have thei

Leonard jerked when he heard the door open. It was none other than his ex-wife glaring at him as though he had done the unthinkable to her. He returned his attention to his laptop and continued working, ignoring her presence. "How is my daughter doing?" She spoke, causing his head to tilt upwards at the voice. "I'm not the doctor, am I?"Emma watched the exchange and averted her eyes. Her sister was never going to change. She was always sporting a fight which was something that she'd never understand. "Good morning, Sophie." Sophie's head turned to her sister's direction and stared at her with contempt in her eyes. Why was she sitting here with her husband acting all nice, was she trying to make her look bad in front of him? " What are you doing here?" She inquired. Leonard's head snapped up at the question. "What do you mean by what she is doing here?" Sophie walked closer to Emma, ignoring Leonard's voice. "I don't understand why you are still here. Is it that you don't like

A wave of embarrassment washed over Emma who was thinking of how to face Leonard and the little girl. In her opinion, she hadn't gotten to the age of stomach differences between her parents but her sister was refusing to see that. She was always seeking a way to make sure that she fought her and Leonard tooth and nail which she felt embarrassed about. "I'm sorry about my sister's attitude. Ava, don't think about your mom in that light, no matter what happens, she still remains your mom, do you understand that?" She inquired from the little girl who just stared at her mother's retreating figure. Leonard didn't want to speak ill of Sophie but she was going to push the little girl away with her hands. " Darling, you don't need to worry about your mom, she didn't mean those words she said. Once we finalize the divorce, she will be alright." "Will she really? Mom is very angry and rude." Ava responded and the adults went quiet. It was obvious that the little girl wasn't so little anymor

Sophie paced the room angrily, and Kevin shot her a glance. "Can't you ask what's wrong with me?" She inquired in an angry manner. Kevin looked up from his laptop and finally gave her his undivided attention. "What's the problem this time? I can bet that it's nothing serious." He replied.Sophie's mouth fell open in naked shock, and she shot him a glare that would make other people shiver in their boots but not Kelvin. "Tell me you don't see the stunt that that man is playing." Kelvin's eyes followed the direction of her hand and stopped at the door. Anger clouding his mind too. He had a lot on his mind; her temper tantrums were not to be added to it. "I don't see the games he's playing. What is your business with him? I thought the marriage had been dissolved." Sophie sighed and shook her head at the disappointment of a man she called her lover. He was too blind to notice what was in front of him. "He's trying to tune my daughter against me, doting on her and making her feel as i

Upon arrival at work the next morning, Leonard breezed into his sister's office. Estelle was busy clearing her desk when the door swung open and she turned to see her brother walking in. " Hey, how are you doing? I was about to call you. I know that you might be angry that I didn't stop by the hospital last night. I was really tired. I'd do that today." "Oh, it's fine. I know you'd have tried to come if it was within your control." Estelle stared at her brother suspiciously. He was happy about something and it made her curious."Did anything interesting happen last night?" She wiggled her brows and Leonard didn't respond a word. "I hate suspense and you know it. May I know what happened?" She requested.Leonard stared at her for a second and thought about his next words. She might not be able to stomach what she heard. "I have a new rule in this company."Estelle rested a palm on the table and leaned on her weight. " Oh? Is that why you're acting this way?" She inquired."Yes, it

Leonard sat alone in his office room, his heart and his soul invested in the work that he was busy doing as always. He organized a couple of files on his laptop and was going through some of the emails he had only recently received from some of their clients. While he was very pleased by the number of good reviews and satisfied clients they had, he still had mixed feelings because not all the reviews and feedback were satisfactory.Being the kind of person he was, he made notes of all the negative feedback and decided to give Malena a few more changes in the company. As he made this decision in his mind, his thought process went back to what had happened before, after he had made a previous change in the company along with the resulting or subsequent discussion that he had with both of his siblings who went by the names Antonio and Estelle with regards to it. This single simple thought in turn served as an eye-opener to a whole Pandora's box of rather complicated feelings, most of

Antonio grows annoyed by the special treatment that Leonard has been receiving since he was found. Since he had been in this company, nobody found it worthy to request an interview.His gaze narrowed at the journalist who was busy having the time of her life interviewing one of the most successful men she had ever been fortunate to meet and he was very displeased. "Sorry to barge in. I thought I heard voices when I walked in." He said.Leonard knowing that all he said was a complete lie, decided that he would not allow him to go without showing on the screen. "I have a meeting right now, but my brother is here to answer all your questions." He said.Antonio was angry at the way he was acting as if he was doing him a favor by allowing him to be here. "I don't..." he said but his sister placed a hand on her chest signaling him to be calm which annoyed him greatly.It was as if since Leonard arrived his sister had lost her sense of reasoning. Ha wasn't still over the stupid stunt he tri

Sophie stormed out of the office angrily, slamming the door shut behind her as she cursed underneath her breath and utters words unintelligible to anyone listening to her, the thoughts going through her mind caused her blood to begin to boil and her eyebrows furrowed. Antonio opens up the door and runs after her, telling her to wait and to be calm. "Why the freaking hell are you following me? " Sophie shouted out to him angrily when she realized it and walked even faster after taking a glance at him, but he didn't stop and also rushed after her then stretched out his hand to hold hers. But she angrily snatched her hand out of his grip and turned around with an expression filled with righteous fury. "Come on Sophie please remain calm, " Antonio pleaded with her as he looked up at the people passing by and watching them, "I know that you are angry but this isn't something to discuss in this manner...""Crap, " Sophie replied in the same angry tone of voice and her fists clenched tig

“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
