The One True Billionaire's Heir Chapter Seventeen
Sofia sat in the waiting room, waiting for the nurse to signal her when she could go in. She was overly anxious, her hands fidgeted and her feet tapped the floor uncontrollably. She'd been denied for two days now, the doctors saying that she wasn't strong enough for visitors. Dr. Grayford had taken time to explain her mother's state and the image kept reappearing in her head. There was no way she was going to be stable after this and work had made her far behind her therapy sessions.“Oh Sofie!” Varietta rushed to her cousin to give her a hug.“Varietta. What are you…?!”.“ I had to come as soon as I heard Zia (aunty) was sick. How is she?”.“You didn't have to fly all the way from… Texas?”“Brazil, darling", her cousin said, beaming with pride."Brazil? You guys have moved again"."Well, it's only been a few months".Sofia scratched the rash near the end of her upper arm."Well, I had no idea those few months!" Sofia hit her cousin playfully. Varietta laughed."Well, you are always b

Elena lay in the hospital bed, her body bruised and battered. Her eyes opened slightly, the blinding light of her room bulb piercing wickedly. The sterile, white walls seemed to close in around her, echoing the pain she felt inside. She felt entirely weak.Her head banged painfully. The sharp memories of the assault, she could still vividly see Finn kicking the shit out of her. She groaned as loud as her strength could carry. She reached for the emergency button, and pressed it.A nurse soon came to her ward.“Are you ok ma'am?”“I'm in so much. My head hurts so much.”“I'm so sorry. Give a minute to get your medication”The nurse administered some painkillers and a sedative so that Elena could rest. She'd been unsettled even after the medication.“My baby nurse. What happened to my baby?”Of course, her nurse couldn't tell her. The doctor had specifically instructed that she had no knowledge of her baby's death.“My baby.”Elena cried. “I lost it, didn't i?”“I can't tell you for sure

"Please, sit".Varietta and Sofia sat down on the office chairs and the doctor, across them."Anything new doctor?"."Not yet. Your mother is... very strong. We need a little more time to confirm our tests".Varietta squeezed Sofia's shoulder a little. The doctor continued."For the meantime, we would require one or each of you, take turns if you may, to come visit everyday. As you already noticed, she's alive but ... just asleep in a way. She can sense presence and does pretty well to acknowledge it by little hand gestures and facial gestures. "Sofia held the chair tightly. Her anxiety was getting to her and she needed to calm down.She let out a sigh, trying to practise her breathing lessons underneath. How was she going to manage work and visiting her mum. She knew for sure, she had a lot of files piled on her desk."No problem, we'll visit.", She looked at Sofia. "I've cancelled my flight so I can stay for a while, perhaps till next weekend ""Oh Vari..."."Anything for Zia".

Sasha walked in, files and a supermarket polyvinyl bag in her hand."I thought I should bring some snacks", she said to Riccardo as she walked in."Of course. Let me help you with that Signorina". Sasha handed the supermarket bag to Riccardo. "Mr Emilio is in his office, just take the right when you go up the stairs"."Ok Riccardo. Thanks".She walked up the stairs with her files.A soft knock on the door followed."Come in"."Good afternoon sir""Evening to you Sasha. You should have been here two hours earlier "."Traffic sir.

Mine's downstairs""I'm s

"Sofiee...", Varietta's groggy voice came from the room. She rubbed her eyes, dragging her feet to the living room. Sofie was on her desk, sorting out some office documents."Are you still working?""Yeah. Told you I had a lot work piled up from last week""Oh. I thought they'd have had someone fill in for you ""Yeah but ... she was kind of occupied too""Well, that's bad enough. They should have at least found a replacement "Sofia shrugged. Her boss had trust issues.Just then, her phone rang. It was Asher."Oh my God"."What?"."My boss is calling. "."So? Pick up". Sofia looked at it nervously. Her boss never called her except she was on a job for him. She was supposed to resume today but it was just 5.00 a.m."Pick up already"."Okay, okay". She picked, biting her finger."Good ... good morning sir""Sofie, how are you?"Varietta raised her eyebrows and gave Sofia a funny look."Ooooo, Sofie ""Shhhh", Sofie said, blushing. She knew that look. Her cousin was one silly person."S

Three days. It had been three days since Marco called her. No texts, no replies. Nothing. Luna lay in bed, hands spread to the other end , low-spirited and exhausted from tears. One of their maids knocked on the door.She ignored it the first time, thinking it was her mother disturbing again."Who is it?", She groaned finally."I'm sorry, Signorina. I wanted to ask if you were ready"She got up and yanked the door open."For what?!"The maid, Aribella, shrieked backwards, taken aback by the suddenness of it all."I'm sorry, Ari. What's up?""The family lunch you have scheduled for this afternoon. You guys are meeting with the Rodriguez family this afternoon "Luna rolled her eyes."I'm not ready""Oh.. okay Signorina. I'll let your father know", she bowed and started to walk away."What?! No!

The top floor of Skyrock resonated with the sound of Asher's angry voice.“How could you let this happen?! I asked you multiple times if you had cross-checked correctly!Sasha shrieked back “Sir, I did. I just, I don't know how I missed that. It's been really hard for me lately”, Sasha said, pretending to be distressed about something.“What has been so hard?!”, he shouted back, hitting the table.“Sir…”, Sofia said. His temper was beginning to frighten her. Sasha began to sniff, pretending to cry.“Sasha…”, Sofia said with empathy, walking over to comfort.“Just leave, Sasha”.Sasha ran out, crying loudly. She continued to wipe her eyes with the handkerchief until she got to the ladies. She flung the handkerchief in the waste.“Morons! Arrrghhh!”She looked around, making sure she was alone. “That wretched Sofia! She keeps spoiling plans. I'm pretty sure she was the one who ate those buns.”She spat into the sink and washed off her spoiled makeup. “I need to call Andrea. We'll need

Luna woke up, her body aching from the harsh metal of the waiting room chair, the antiseptic smell of the hospital stinging her nostrils. The harsh fluorescent lights streamed into her eyes painfully. She blocked the light with her hands, rubbing her eyes vigorously. The busyness of the whole place made her dizzy and for the next few seconds, everything seemed blurry to her. She was bewildered, wondering where she was. But as soon as her eyes cleared, she remembered. She remembered everything.Fear had enveloped every inch of her body that day. She could still see her mother's blood on the ground, and the blood in her hand when she'd touched it to make sure it was real, like water, flowing freely from where she laid to the other end of the room. Benny lifted her, her hands flying around lifelessly, her father shouting at their gateman to open the gates. Her heart raced, her body shaking visibly all through the drive.Her father hadn't stayed the night of course so she knew Benny would

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 175
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,
