The One True Billionaire's Heir Chapter 125
Chapter 125The sound of the gunshot from over the phone resounded in Maria's ear and her hands felt like jelly. They shook vigorously and so did every other part of her body. Her face was white with fear and Maria just stood there, fixated to the spot, her phone in her ear.“It didn't have to be like this, Maria. He was your best bodyguard”, Wyatt said, an underlying sarcasm to it.“But now he's dead because your selfishness shortened his days.” Wyatt sat up to pick up the cigarette on the table. He put it between his lips and one of his men lit it up with his lighter. Wisps of smoke danced out of his mouth almost immediately and his face was clouded with it. “Clean up the mess boys”, he said before returning back to his conversation with Maria.“Maria, oh Maria. So I guess I'll be seeing you soon?”Maria was still panting, breathing heavily like she'd just run a thousand miles. With shaky hands, she brought the phone in front of her and terminated the call. She tried to calm down b

Chapter 126Maria breathed slowly, quite unnerved by the gun placed on her neck. Wyatt moved towards her slowly, his sturdy build and muscles popping out of the shirt he was wearing. He came to stand in front of her and at the snap of his fingers, a white small stool was brought for him so he could sit before her. He took his seat, the V- neck of his shirt exposing some nicely curled chest hair. His hair was slid perfectly to the right and some of it fell in front of his forehead. At probably forty-five, Wyatt still looked as young and as handsome as he was in his 20’s.“Maria, Maria, Maria”He slurred his words, saying her name slowly. He steadied both elbows on his knees.“So what's it going to be Maria? Huh?”Maria may have been afraid but she was damn well manipulative. Why should she be afraid? The bastard couldn't kill her even if he wanted to. And she was damn well sure why.She didn't speak but just stared in his face. He gestured to the guy behind him to hand him the gun.“Yo

Chapter 127Wyatt had his driver ready a car for Maria.“You looked resplendent by the way.”, Wyatt said as he put an arm around her waist. “Who took you out? That old man?”“I was at a lunch date before your men gunned me down here”“Forgive me, Maria. Didn't I already apologize?”He ran the back of his fingers across her cheek and leaned in. Just then, one of his men came in and whispered to the other at the door. “Mr. Oril?”“Yes?”“The car is ready”“It's time for me to leave, Wyatt”, she said, attempting to withdraw their proximity.“Not even a goodbye kiss?”, he asked, maintaining his hold at her waist. He leaned in and kissed her passionately - their tongues intertwining and superimposing each other. The kiss deepened and Maria's hormones were on rampage, every inch of her body wanted to take him to bed. It had been so long since she did this. Moreover, she didn't have time on her hands for that today.And Eventually, she was going to have to kill the guy. He was a stumbling b

Chapter 128 The investigator walked into the building in casual clothes. He didn't want to attract too much attention wearing his police uniform. He walked up to the receptionist. “Welcome to Skyrock Incorp sir. How may I help you?”, Kally, who was busy punching in some things in her computer said, looking up immediately from the computer screen.“Hey, I'm the investigator and I have an appointment with Mr. Emilio Rodriguez”.“Oh, an appointment..”, she said slowly. She turned to her computer screen, clicking on the soft copy of the schedule.“Uhm, I'm sorry sir. But I don't see your appointment here. I can squeeze you in. What time was the appointment supposed to be scheduled for?”“Right about now”, the investigator said, glancing at his watch.“Okayy..”, Kally said, leaning into her desktop.“Oh okay. Appointment with the investigator by 2.00”, Kally said, reading out the schedule. She gave him a quick glance and returned her eyes to the image on her screen. “Okay. I've verifie

Chapter 129“Come on, Maria. Take a chill pill. Stop trying to be so tough. You know you still got that soft spot for me”, Wyatt said in a groggy, deep voice. Maria said nothing, not wanting to admit to the fact that new feelings had been welling up in her since he reappeared in her life.“So how do you plan on killing the old man and succeeding?”“Leave that to me. I'll have it done and then we can go on with the rest of the plan”“Okay. At least you got the contract through so I think I can believe you when you say, you'll get it done”“I've always been a woman of my words”“Of course. Especially when you attempt to kill them so you don't have to go back on your words”“Exactly. I'll do anything to keep my word”“Well, good luck on that, Maria”“Goodbye”She hung up, consciously taking in air before turning away from the window. Surprisingly, she turned to meet Andrea in the room.“Andrea. Mio figlio. I didn't hear when you entered”, she said, trying not to stutter and reveal her s

Chapter 130“Why should I listen to you now? Huh? Tell me Mother. Why should I trust you now? I know you Mother and I don't think I can believe a word you say”“Please Andrea, I would never lie to you”“But you did! You didn't tell me the truth”“I would have. Eventually. I just wanted to wait for the perfect time. Please Andrea, listen to your mother.”“No! You are supposed to be my mother! You're supposed to inspire me ”“I am your mother! How selfish of you! I've always been your mother. I have gone through hell in this life. Fell in love with an abuser and then I got married to one who's clearly not gotten over his late wife! The moment his son rises from the dead, he throws you into the sidewalk. Is that fair?! Here I am, trying to ensure you get what's rightfully yours and now you are acting all up? I did this for us Andrea! For both of us! Not your father or Vincenzo but me! You think he loves you? He only wants you for the inheritance that Vincenzo doesn't even picture you in

Chapter 131Sofia woke up suddenly, her heart pounding loudly and beads of sweat all over her forehead. Despite the fact that her room was fully air-conditioned, she felt hot and suffocated. She got out of bed and opened the glass door window in her pajamas, going out into her verandah.She tried to calm herself down, stressing desperately to get the thoughts out of her head. She'd had one of those nightmares again. The images of herself pleading for mercy, trying to get away from her molesters and trying to fight back played over and over in her head like a slideshow. An overwhelming shudder came on her and she shook vehemently for a short time. She really needed to see her therapist.She stayed in the verandah for sometime before going back into her room. She slid her fingers over the keypad of her MacBook.3.38 a.mShe still had at least an hour to go before she could even think of preparing for the office. To wile away her time, she decided to run another review of the data analys

Chapter 132Maria held her blue maxi dress up a little so she could walk properly in the unrugged room on the ground floor. She was on the phone, talking in very low whispers. “Yes. I need a box of them.”“Today”“When will I receive the package?”“Oh ok.”“Done”She got off the phone and almost immediately, Andrea walked in. “Mio figlio”, she called to him as he walked towards her. They hugged and she caressed his cheeks as usual.“How are you? Hai dormito bene?( Did you sleep well?)”“Yes mother, I did. How about you?”, Andrea said. His eyes looked a little sore and Maria knew he must have slept very late.“I slept okay mio figlio”, she said, with a short-lived smile.“Quickly, you should go downstairs for breakfast.”“Breakfast?”, He said , glancing at his watch. “Why so early?”“Well you… have a flight.”“A flight? How? I don't remember booking any flight”“Well, I had a flight booked for you. A private one though”“Off to where and why?”“To America.”, Maria said casually, like

Chapter 179:The Happy Ending
Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u

Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Chapter 174The security cameras picked Finn's car as it sped past Asher's residential building. Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended. Paolo moved towards where Raphael was. “They say there's an intruder, Raphael”“Oh really”, Raphael replied, his eyes fixed on the screen.“Put the security camera'

Chapter 173Sofia let out some air, obviously exhausted. Her boss, Asher, paced the room as he gave instructions over the phone. “I want ceramic used in those spaces, Travis, not wood. Did you…”Asher paused, listening to what the voice over the phone had to say.“Travis, Travis….”Another pause.“Listen.. listen to me. I don't want to know if it is or if it is not possible to get the ceramic tiles today. Whatever it is you need to do to get them today - this night - do it. Do it now. When I come by tomorrow, and just note I'll be coming in very early, I want the exact type and quality that I asked for. Can you get that done, Travis?”Asher paused for longer this time. “Okay. Let me rephrase that. Get it done Travis. Thank you”He ended the call. “What's up? Are you done?”“Yes sir”, Sofia said, letting out a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence. Asher did too.“Finally”, Asher said to Sofie, a slight smile on his face.Meanwhile, after minutes of wasted efforts going in the w

Chapter 172It was dark out. Asher glanced at his watch as he went up the stairs. It was past seven already. He walked into the office room where Sofie was still working.“Are you done?”“Almost sir. Let me just tidy up this document”“Alright”He left the room and came back with two small glass bowls of fruit salad.“Here”, he said, handing it over to Sofia.“Oh.. thank you Boss”“You deserve it”, he said, taking his over to the mediun sized sofa. Pink flushed on her cheeks and she had to bend her face so he wouldn't noticed. Asher smiled, noticing before she could even hide it. In all his life, he didn't know a person more shy than Sofia.He settled on the sofa, balancing the fruit salad bowl in his hand.“I've been willing to ask something, Sofia”Sofia raised her head immediately, unnecessarily in alarm.“How has your mum been?”“My mum? She's fine. She's.. perfectly okay”“Is she still at the hospital?”“Oh no sir. She got discharged about ..two months ago? Yes. It should be two

Chapter 171“It’s done Boss”, the delivery guy said, adjusting the air pod in his ear as he rode. The bike bent as he maintained being on the bend, the wind flapping in his ear. When he got onto the straight road, he had to reduce his speed for the traffic ahead.“Good”, the voice responded. “Well done Ryder”“Yes sir”The call terminated and Paolo set his phone down on the table. In front of him were three monitors and a slim guy sat in front of them, moving from one screen to another.“What’s the update, Raphael?”, Andrew asked“I'm in. I have successfully gained access into the facility now”, he replied, zooming in on one of the screens. On it was a live recording of Asher's gate, which was still open even when Asher had closed it. So he thought.Raphael switched to another monitor. On the monitor display, the different controls that were sectioned to the different parts of the house were shown. Raphael zoomed into each room, and the door controls, studying the signals. From there,
