THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S LOST HEIR Chapter 27
Leonard got to the hospital late at night, but even the night shift seemed a lot busier than he had anticipated. I found his way through the crowd of people and got to the hallway that led to his daughter’s private ward.‘God, I hate hospitals,’ he thought to himself and creased his nose before heading into her ward. It was already past eleven at night, and he wasn’t expecting a child to be up, but Ava was not your average child, he knew that there was every possibility that she had tried to stay awake, waiting for him, but when he opened the door as gently as possible, he was surprised to see her cuddling her teddy bear, deep in sleep. Leonard smiled and walked into the hospital ward and dropped his bag, loosened his tie and sat down in the chair close to the door. There was another chair in the ward, next to the bed, but Emma was seated in it, with one of Ava’s story books in her hands as she slept.‘Even Emma is more of a mother to our own daughter than you Sophie,’ he thought to

Leonard and Emma stepped out of the vehicle at almost exactly the same time, both of them feeling equally exhausted from the journey and from the trip in general, the business trip was no small matter and it lasted three work days with the two of them being extremely busy for a larger portion of the days. The ride back had been a very strange and awkward one, not to mention as the two of them had different thoughts weighing down on their minds which highly prevented them from speaking and caused a great wave of awkwardness. Leonard was busy with thoughts about the company and about the deal he had made on the business trip, as well as thoughts about what to do concerning the sisters Emma and Sophie. He knew very well without the help of a fortune teller or a soothsayer that Sophie, his potential ex wife was not very pleased with the fact that he had taken her sister Emma on the trip instead of her, which was something that he considered highly illogical putting into consideration t

Estelle walks into Leonard's office with a rather gloomy expression on her face, written clearly as the result of the meeting they had before along with the follow up email. Leonard who was not entirely sure about what had happened and had not yet received the message was rather lost though and looked at her before he inquired, "what is it? ""You remember that contract that we hoped to secure the other day? " Estelle asked him and Leonard at once took a pause from what he was doing on his laptop and turned his attention to her unrivalled. "Which contract do you mean Estelle, what are you referring to? " Leonard asked solemnly, his expression saying everything that one needed to know about his state of mind at that moment, while he had made himself to stop thinking about Sophie and the little run in that he and Emma had with her not too long before, it did not stop him from feeling hurt and it did not rid him of the exhaustion that he already had most of the time in his back and in

Antonio entered the building and was on his way to his brother's office.He had news for Leonard and thought it might be good enough if he would agree on it.But, he didn't want to get his hopes up.He was the Antagonist of this story afterall.Antonio heard loud laughter and giggles just beyond his brother's office door and didn't know why his stomach twisted in a knot.He let himself in without knocking and a skeptical expression loomed over his face as he saw a Leonard and Estelle chatting away not aware of his presence in the room.“How lovely…” he muttered ironically to himself as he waltzed over to where they sat.But even at that, they still took no notice of his existence and it annoyed him to the very bone.He wasn't aware he was that unnecessary in their lives. He adjusted the suit he wore while clearing up his throat to grab their attention.“Well, it is quite a shame you lot have decided not to include me in your…friendly little chat. Always leaving me out of the fun, it a

Leonard had a really long day at work. He was sorting out a few documents in his office when Antonio barged in without a slightest announcement.Leonard's face grew into a frown the moment he saw Antonio in his office.He was really upset with him for repeating the same act over and over even after being warned severally.Antonio knew he was wrong by barging in. Apart from him realizing his mistake, he knew that barging in on people didn't speak well of him.Before Leonard could raise a voice of protest at him, he took it upon himself to apologize.“I'm really sorry for barging in. Trust me, I never meant to do that.”Leonard was taken aback for a moment. He was surprised by Antonio's words of apology, considering the fact that he had never admitted his wrong and apologized in the manner which he just did.Leonard heaved a deep sigh. He glared at Antonio with an icy demeanor.“So why are you here in my office?”“Let’s say I came to check up on you, my brother.” Antonio teased. He sat

At the time that leonard finally arrived at home, he met with Emma who seemed to have been waiting for him in a fidgety manner, as though something had gone wrong somewhere which caused him to be a bit concerned and his mind began to race as he thought through everything to try and figure it exactly what the problem could be, but he decided not to say anything regarding that or ask her any questions and instead just met with her at the door."Are you doing alright?" He asked her sincerely and pulled her into reality causing her to be stupefied and stunned for a brief moment.Her eyes shook lightly before she replied hurriedly, "yes yes I'm doing just fine," but despite this reply, her eyes seemed to dart about and avoid his eyes as she continued to think about something."Alright then what about Ava, is she alright, did anything happen while I was at work?" Leonard asked her again as he continued to wonder why she was still shaking, if nothing really happened then why was she so afrai

Leonard returns to work the next day. He realizes something unusual in his workplace.His employees were all staring at him in an oblivious manner. Their stares were strange and disturbing. He passed by expecting to get a greeting from them at least. But he was proven otherwise when they said no word of greeting to him.Leonard was moved to shock. He began to wonder what must have gone wrong with them all of a sudden. This is the first time they would see him and act like he never existed.Something was amiss. He knew it. But he ignores them nonetheless and marches on into his office. He was welcomed by Emma's presence as soon as he stepped into the office. He was startled a bit.“Hey! How did you get in here?” He searched his pockets and brought out the office keys.Emma probably had the spare keys with her. She smiled.“How about I say I wanted to give you a great surprise today? I took the spare key from your wallet.”Leonard was amused by what Emma had done. She certainly didn't

“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

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
