The Comeback Of The Sole Heir Dashed hope
Diana He gradually brought his face closer to mine until we were few metres away. I could feel his hot breath on my skin. "It's actually Rutherford DeVille " He whispered into my ears causing cold to go down my spine. "How about I abduct you right now and ask your dad to pay a huge ransom for your freedom?."My pupils dilated in awe. He is a gangster who purposely got married to me just to kidnap me and make money from my gullible father?. I knew it. I just knew that there was something dark about him. I wonder how he managed to get my father to trust him to the extent of making him a son in law.He suddenly let out a loud, scary laughter. "Just kidding. Hope you didn't take my joke to heart?" He laughed harder and let go of me as I took some steps away from him, breathing heavily."I know you probably think that I'm a bad person but you are wrong" He said. "And for the other day at the shopping mall?. I am sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, I was just in a bad mood"He apologized?. I
The Comeback Of The Sole Heir A glimpse of his wrath
RutherfordI walked into his office at the upper part of the building. He was seated on his chair with his eyes fixed on the laptop before him. As soon as he saw me, a smile crept up his face."You called for me" I said and sat on the couch opposite where he sat, with my legs crossed. I bit the apple which I have taken from the dining table as I wondered what the crafty fox is up to now."Yes. I wanted to officially congratulate you for being the son in law of this prestigious family" He giggled and trodded towards me with an outstretched arm. I took his hand in mine as I forced a smile."You have finally married my daughter, can I now get the appointment letter?" He added with a mischievous smile as we disengage from the handshake.I scoffed as I took another bite of the green apple. I am not surprised. I was actually expecting this from him. "Do you really think that I would give it to you just like that?"He raised his eyebrows. "What? What do you mean?""What I mean?. I mean this.
The Comeback Of The Sole Heir Discovery and plans
Rutherford The car finally pulled in front of the Silverado's company. I let out a sigh as I and Diana stepped out of the car simultaneously to behold the familiar building which contains a lot of memories and dreams. For a while, I regretted my decision to come here. This is bound to resurrect buried wounds. "I know you are struck by the magnificence of my boyfriend's company but can you at least not make it obvious?" Diana snarled at me as she walked towards the wide opaque glass door. "So embarrassing."Boyfriend?. She should keep on bragging about her boyfriend to my face and I won't hesitate to increase her chances of joining him under six feet. I let out a sigh and hurried after her.With Diana leading the way, we strutted Into the huge building. The workers were so busy to recognize our presence. Some were occupied with the laptop before them while others walked to and fro with files on their hands. Most of the workers seemed strange and unfamiliar. Ethan had removed all my f

Rutherford"Oh. Now I am Ethan. We both agreed that you will get married to Rutherford because of his wealth and kill him after getting it but now that you have discovered that he's a lowlife, what's stopping you from getting rid of him?." Ethan growled."What the heck are you saying to me?. You don't know how much I'm dying to get rid of that pest. I can't even go to get together's with my friends because I'm embarrassed of being seen together with someone like him but what do you want me to do?. He doesn't look like someone who would divorce me so easily"I wasn't supposed to feel bad because I'm used to this feeling of betrayal but to my chagrin, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. But thankfully, it was gone as soon as it came. Diana had planned with her boyfriend to kill me?. More reasons why I have to quicken my plans before these two strike first."Leave that to me, I have a plan " Ethan's voice echoed with assurance. "But first of all, bring him to me again, I want to teach him
The Comeback Of The Sole Heir Humiliated by my husband
DianaI took a last look at my pink, short designer gown which was perfectly decorated with flower embroideries. I wore a simple but classy make up and packed up my hair in ponytail. Another look at the mirror and I was satisfied with the expensive look I had. My friends had suddenly paid me a visit today and I can't afford to look below par.I have been avoiding our meetings after my marriage to Rutherford. I have always bragged about how I will get married to a prince and become a princess of two kingdoms. My friends will definitely make fun of me if they find out that I got married to a beggar.Thank goodness Rutherford didn't come back home yesterday. When I came out of Ethan's company, he was gone. I was so angry that he left without my permission but right now, I'm grateful he disappeared. I hope he doesn't return ever again.Just then, I heard a knock on the door. "Excuse me miss. Your friends are downstairs and they are getting impatient already " Hana, my personal maid inform
The Comeback Of The Sole Heir Revenge and pain
DianaI shot Rutherford a hard stare, warning him to play along and just walk away. But to my chagrin, he hurried towards me and dragged me into his arms causing me to froze. I felt my world crash into thousand pieces as a tear dropped from my eyes."I have really missed you darling." He muttered.The girls burst into a mocking laugh. "Disgusting"My weakened hands suddenly received strength. I muttered all the strength I could gather and push him away. "Have you gone mad?" "Oh my gosh princess . I understand you got married to a beggar but you shouldn't treat him that way" Stephanie interrupted and they all burst into another round of laughter.It felt as if the earth should open up and swallow me. I clenched my fist in anger as their laughter echoed in my head. "Stop laughing. Stop it" I screamed when I couldn't take it anymore and the room went quiet immediately."You all should leave, I want to be left alone." I said."Are you chasing us away? How.." "I said, leave now." I yelle
The Comeback Of The Sole Heir A suspicious help
DianaI heaved a deep sigh of relief when Rutherford finally opened his eyes. He has been unconscious for the past four hours. I wonder what Ethan did to him. Not like I care but if he is to die, it shouldn't be in my house. I can't afford to give the hungry public any opportunity to slander my reputation.He slowly sat up on the bed wearing an expressionless face. I waited for him to say something but he didn't, rather he kept staring at me. It felt as if he was trying to pierce through me and take a peek at what was going through my mind."What?" I fired when I couldn't stand his stare anymore. Does he know that I purposely sent him to Ethan to get beaten up?."I'm ready to divorce you." He dropped the bombshell, causing my eyes to widen in disbelief."What?" I just wanted to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me."You've always wanted to divorce me right?. I'm ready to grant you your wish"My heart leaped for joy as a wide smile appeared on my face. But at a second thought, I paus

DianaI slowly opened the door to behold Dad pacing to and fro the large office. I swallowed hard and walked in."You called for me dad" I said.He turned sharply to me with a hard glare. Mt heart missed a beat as I wondered what was going through his mind. Is he angry at me?. Or is he thinking of questions to ask me concerning the conferral letter?. Gosh. But I know nothing about it.Dad suddenly started clapping as his once puckered face cowered into a broad smile. "Well done princess. Well done."I blinked my eyes in confusion. Why was he thanking me?. I forced a smile at him."I knew you were as smart as your father. For a while, I have been wondering why you were so obsessed with being with Ethan not knowing that you saw something. You should have told me earlier and I wouldn't have let you marry that loser." He giggled excitedly.Dad really believes that Ethan has the conferral letter. What if he finds out that it was a lie?. Phew. I should think about that later. I must do anyt

Fate
Selena (Ria)Donned in my uniform and cleaning supplies, I embarked on my daily mission to restore order to the vast expanse of opulence. The grand entrance hall greeted me with its towering marble columns, intricate chandeliers, and a majestic staircase that seemed to ascend into the heavens.As i stood at the threshold, my eyes widened at the sheer magnitude of the task ahead. The mansion, with its countless rooms, hidden nooks, and forgotten corners, held secrets and stories within its walls. I have been served by others all my life but here I am serving others. It's been four days of relentless cleaning classes by Mrs Gloria and here I am, struggling to put everything I have learnt into practice.My first destination was the ornate library, a treasure trove of knowledge, its shelves lined with leather-bound books. I delicately ran a feather duster along the shelves, removing the thin layer of dust that clung to the forgotten pages. I carefully rearranged the books, ensuring each f

Good but sad news
EthanI swallowed hard as Grandma stared at the television with clenched fist. "The dead bodies of a business tycoon Mr Roger and his daughter was found in their mansion few hours ago. Rumors has it that the son in law Rutherford had mudered the father and daughter after they had forced him into signing a divorce letter. The young man and the document papers are nowhere to be found. The police confirms him as a prime suspect and is in search of him...." The female journalist blabbed.Grandma picked up the remote and turned off the television. She wore a puckered face and I knew what would follow next."Do you realize what your carelessness would have cost us if I hadn't intervened?" She growled at me.When I returned that day, I had told her everything because I knew that she would find out about it sooner or later from another source and that would make things more difficult. And just as usual, she lashed at me and called me many names. I almost strangled her wrinkled neck when she b

RiaI twitched my lip. Does it mean that this is the first time the cold governor is taking a maid in?. But why the sudden decision?. Could it be because I challenged him?. Now I see the reason why those men from before looked worried. I'm doomed."Whatever. My name is Gloria and she's Zoey " She said pointing to the young lady behind her. Zoey was dressed in a black gown and white fluffy slippers. She had a fair complexion and her brown shadowed hair tumbled down her shoulder. "I am the one in charge of the kitchen and smooth running of this mansion. Zoey is in charge of the laundry room. The young master didn't give a specific job to you but he asked that you get trained to be a perfect maid. "I raised my head in disbelief. A perfect maid?. She stretched out her hand towards Zoey and she placed a badge and some documents on her hanging hands.Mrs Gloria pushed them into my hand. "This is your job batch. It will be your identity card in the house to avoid been tagged a trespasser

His personal maid
Ria"Failed." The young man who seems to be the boss roared for the fourth time. "I have lost interest. Get rid of all of them. They look useless" He ordered and made to leave.My heart missed a beat. Is this going to be my end?. I swallowed hard as I thought of a way to get out of this. I felt my life span reduce with each steps that the cold hearted man took. I know that the moment he leaves this building, I will be as good as dead.Few meters to the door, I forced myself to say. "This is wrong sir. It's not fair of you to completely fail someone with just a slight flaw"He turned back sharply to see who the bold lady was. What was I thinking?. Isn't this the shortest route to death?. But then it is better I die trying than not doing anything."With all due respect sir. You shouldn't judge us by our little flaws rather you should give us an opportunity to prove that we're capable, this would only mean that you are fair." I said with all the boldness I could gather.

The challenge
RutherfordIt was a sunny afternoon and all of a sudden, the beautiful weather changed and was replaced with a stormy one. Everywhere became dull, like it was going to rain heavily. I hurriedly suspended my work, picked up my briefcase and hurried out of my office, into the elevator. I will be named the heir today and I can't afford to be there late. I had a lot of contract to handle at the office that I almost forgot it was the D-Day. The elevator finally dinged and I scurried out of the main building, totally ignoring the wondering faces of my employees. They wouldn't understand how important this day is to me. Few metres away from my car, I almost collided into a woman who seems to be running away from someone. "Help me sir" She whispered, breathing heavily.She was shabbily dressed and had some cuts on her worn out clothes. Looks like someone was trying to kill her with a sharp weapon."Please protect my daughter" She pleaded, bringing me out of my thoughts. "What?. Look I'm in

Revealing his dark side
EthanI sat down on the couch with my legs crossed opposite Mr Roger and her pretty daughter, my soon wife to be. I had invited them to my personal suite at the quiet part of the city. For security reasons, i come here whenever I want to discuss shady businesses.I grinned as Diana handed over the two documents to me with a broad smile. I returned the smile. Such a naive lady. I turned to take a look at Mr Roger. What could be in that conferral letter that he's ready to give his precious daughter to me?. Why does he look so desperate. I need to find out what it's about.I handed over the document to my lawyer who was seated beside me. I had to come with him. Greedy people like Roger can't be trusted. "Now that I have given my daughter to you and also shown you a proof that I have named her my heiress, can you now hand over the conferral letter to me?" Roger said.I signaled one of my goons who was standing behind me. He quickly handed over the fake conferral document to me. "What cou

Creepy plan
RutherfordI sat down sadly on the table as I watched my ex wife dress up with a big smile on her face. She must be so happy to get engaged to the heir of Silverado's empire. Such a gold digging bitch.After what took forever, she turned to me with a smirk on her face. "How do I look?"I took a closer look at her. She was dressed in a pink short gown, revealing her fair, slender legs. Her heavy make up gave her a bossy look and made her look a bit different."I asked you to commend me and not drool" She sneered and slipped her legs into her white glassy heel.She picked up the divorce letter from the center table and walked away without even turning to see the sadness on my face. She must be so heartless. Few metres to the door, she paused and turned back to me. Did she read my mind?."Make sure you are gone before we return. My husband wouldn't be happy to hear that my wretched ex husband is still living under the same roof with his queen." She let out a loud laugh before catwalking
