The One True Billionaire's Heir Chapter Twenty-four
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

"Happy Birthday to you", Varietta whispered to her sleepy cousin in bed, cake in her hand.Sofia rubbed her eyes and turned over."Whose birthday did I miss?""Yours silly !""It's my birthday?"Varietta laughed. She placed the cake on the side table. "Wake up sleepy head". She pulled Sofia to sit up."Varii...". Sofie said, her voice hoarse. She opened her eyes."Happy birthday, Cugina ""Awwn, Vari. You remembered." Sofia gave her cousin a hug."Of course I remembered. I never forget birthdays""Oh please", Sofia said, rolling her eyes."Here is your cake"Sofia placed her hands over her chest.'I love you. You are the best". She blew her a kiss."I know. I know. Now blow out your candles. You are freaking 23!! Woohoo!".Sofie laughed and blew out her candles. She cut a slice of the cake on a plate."Hmmm ... This is nice. where did you order this?"" Your favorite""Ahhh. It's been so long since I had a taste of their cake. I haven't had the time to order". Sofia groaned in deligh

Benny walked in, Luna's clothes in his hand, packaged in one of the many designer bags they had at home. She'd been staying in an empty room since her mother's hospitalisation, refusing to go home.“Thank you Benny”She took the clothes from him, not wanting to make eye contact. But Benny held her shoulders and turned her to face him.“What is it? Look at your eyes, they're swollen”“I'm fine. I'm just a little bit worried about mum”Benny pulled her into a hug and she let her tears flow freely onto his shirt.“It's going to be okay”, he said, his hands on her head, soothing it smoothly. Just then Marcos walked in on them. He knocked on the open door.Luna lifted her head. “Marco”, she walked over to hug him as Benny let go.Marco looked at Benny, not hugging Luna back. Call him insecure or whatever, he didn't like what he saw.Benny, seeing it in his eyes and demeanour, decided to give them space.“I'll be at the car, Miss Luna”“Thank you, Benny”“Hey. How was…”“What was that abou

Sofia typed away on the keyboard of her work desktop. It was 5.00 already and she wasn't even half way through the report. And she still had to sort out some files from Sasha's desk since Sasha was on leave for the now.“Your smoothie, ma”“Oh thank you, Dermian”She took a sip of the tropical fruit smoothie she had ordered. Fruits and Smooths had become her favourite smoothie shop since she discovered them a few days ago. She'd had a taste of their citrus fruit smoothie the other day at boss's house but she'd forgotten … or more like she had been too shy to ask where he had bought it from.By 6.30, she was finally done with the reports. She walked over to Asher's office to submit them. There, Asher was having a conversation with his father.“Emilio, i should have the private jet pick you and your brother up ei?”So Andrea was in town. Interesting…Asher rubbed the nape of his neck.“I didn't know, father. I wasn't even aware he was in town”Vincenzo laughed. “He must have been busy.

“Buongiorno! (Good morning) This is real estate 5, how can I help you today ma'am”“Am I speaking with Lorez?”“Luna?”“Hey Loressa. I need a favour from you”“What's up?”“I need you to find me a house, any house, in the outskirts of town”“A house? I don't know Luna, I don't think you guys could afford any of the houses here”Of course she wasn't supposed to be able to pay. She'd played the middle class girl at school.“Please … just find me something small. Maybe a little cottage”“Ok. I'll get back to you”Luna hung up and looked outside from her mum's hospital room. No sign of Benny anywhere. Her mother was to be discharged today and Benny had informed her that her father wanted them home first thing in the morning. “Over my dead body”, she had sweared inwardly. She'd made up her mind. She'd rather die than go back home.She paced up and down the ward, biting her fingers anxiously, waiting for Lorez to get back to her. Finally, she texted her the location of the place she'd foun

Varietta let out a tired yawn, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains casting a warm glow on the room. With sluggish steps, she made her way to the open kitchen, craving some banana pancakes. And maybe some parfait. Chocolate flavoured cake parfait. Contrastingly, Sofie, as always, was engrossed at her study desk, surrounded by a sea of textbooks and notes, typing away in her metallic silver-coloured MacBook.“Why are you up so early?”, Varietta said, dragging her words. “It’s 8.30, Varietta”, Sofia said, coldly.“What time did you get up cause when I got up to pee at 5.00, you weren't even in bed”Sofie didn't answer.She went over to her cousin's desk and closed her MacBook.She gave her cousin a death stare.“Vari!”“You, my dear cugina, need a break”“No, I don't. What I need is to finish sorting out these files”Sofia picked up a pile of papers and positioned them on one edge of the desk. Varietta picked one paper up, uninterested in its content, for sale of someth

Sofia trembled all over as she sat on the dining table at her boss's mansion. Asher had taken them in to live in his secret mansion when he heard what happened. He still had to drug them to get there though because he just couldn't risk it.Sofia clutched her head, her fingers entwined in disarrayed strands of hair as she struggled to regain composure, trying to calm down but too knocked back by what had just happened. The fact that someone could actually want her life weakened her. Even worse, she had almost lost Varietta today. The tremors of fear continued to ripple through her and soon she couldn't help it. Asher stood in the dining room also making some rounds of phone calls. He paced up and down, his hands in his joggers.“Yes.”. “Yeah”. “Send anything they were able to salvage”He hung up the last one and turned to Sofia.“Hey, are you good?”How could she be good? Sofia continued to hug herself, rocking back and forth. She let herself slide off the chair, breathing in and o

An oppressive hush enveloped the room like a shroud, a frightening kind of silence. Wisps of smoke diffused languidly, weaving through the dimly lit living room, their tendrils ascending towards the oppressive silence that clung to the air. Paolo, his gaze obscured by the haze, exhaled, sending out more wisps of smoke, the cigarette dangling from his fingers like an extension of his brooding demeanor. A palpable tension lingered. Paolo, seated on his couch, stared lethally at his kneeling staff lined up before him.He stood up suddenly, putting out his cigarette on the ashtray by his side. He rubbed his moustache slowly and the room was caught up in tension.“I have looked all over”.. he said, pausing momentarily. He looked at his staff.“I have looked all over for my wife and my Godforsaken daughter! I have searched every inch of this town. No one has claimed to even as much as to have sighted any of them.”He walked back and forth, taking each step slowly. He held up a small disk ta

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,
