The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 64: Past Mistakes
Juliet quickly got to her desk and sat down. Her breathing, heavy and distressed as she put her head on the desk calmly. A number of things were running through her mind as she tried to calm down. Liam's face kept flashing in her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about him."What is Liam doing here?" She asked herself loudly, still in surprise. "I thought he relocated out of the country already. Ahhh!" She sighed softly, frustration oozing from her voice. "Things have going pretty well for me since I started working in this company. And today started out great, a sudden and unexpected promotion. So why did Liam have to come out of nowhere today?" She continued, sounding absolutely worried.Just then, Robert walked in, a smile on his face as usual. Juliet looked up from her desk immediately, surprised that he was back so early."Hey there, Juliet." He said enthusiastically. "Why did you leave us all of a sudden?""Oh nothing sir. I was just feeling a bit weak." She replied, trying to fo
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 65: Hard Feelings
Her eyes flashed with a unique spark, one of rage and at the same time, beauty. Liam stared at her enchantingly pretty face, lost in the view of her beautiful, ocean blue eyes. Her hair was against the side of her face. Silky, long and beautiful as he remembered it. He could only wish that what he was trying to do would end well, even when it did not seem too good. His eyes were still on her, focused and pleading for her total forgiveness but that, seemed nearly impossible.### "Come on, Juls. Why can't you just let it go? I've apologize severally." He sighed, obviously frustrated by her incompliance. He thought about everything for a moment, a wave of nostalgia hitting him hard as the memories rushed in like it had all happened few days ago. "Okay, look. I know you have every right to be angry at me but believe me, I would take it back if I could." He paused, watching her expression. The eye roll and mocking sigh was enough for him to understand that we found all he said unbelievable
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 66: The Nice Stranger
From the side of her eyes, he could see the fierceness in her eyes. He knew if he tried to stop her from leaving once more, it would end up in a very bad situation. And that wasn't something he looked forward to. With that, she walked away, getting to a nearby bus stop in few minutes, where she waited. Liam stood by his car, looking at her longingly. His eyes still pleading. But every time she looked his way, her eyes beamed with anger, an unforgiving gaze he could not forget. He swallowed hard and got back in to his car, cussing himself for being so stupid when he has the chance to be with her in the university. He put his head down on the steering wheel for a second and when he raised his head up, she was no longer there. She was gone, disappeared in to thin air, he thought. He sighed in remorse as he revved his car engine, reversed and drove away.Juliet was not yet on her way home, in fact, she was still at the bus stop. She had noticed his head down, his intriguing eyes off her f
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 67: Stranger Turned Friend
She forced a smile, trying to mask everything she was feeling. But it did not seem to work, for this nice stranger's eyes reflected her demeanor. She was beginning to feel very awkward so she spoke up."Thank you." She said quickly with a dry giggle, moving her face away from his. "But I do not think there is any need for that. My house isn't a long way from here. And it's barely raining anymore." Her small voice was strikingly cute, making him wonder if it was indeed her voice or if she was just tired."Oh! That's fine. But I wouldn't like you to get drenched by the rain anyways." He smiled widely. The umbrella still above both their heads, in his hands. She stepped back a bit, with a tensed smile on her face. Erick noticed her body language and began thinking up ways to make her more relaxed. "I'm sorry for my manners." He suddenly said, hitting his free palm against his forehead in a disappointing manner. "My name is Erick. Erick Gales. It's nice to meet you." He stretched his han
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 68: Reminiscing
His eyes lit up with an interesting spark, a galvanic one that she seemed to like. Apart from the fact that he was extremely nice to her on their first meeting, she found him to be a very interesting person. One that she thought could become a very good friend."Ahhhh!" He exclaimed with a glad smile. His heart literally leaping with joy as she took the umbrella from his hand. "I'll see you tomorrow then. Take care of yourself, umm... You didn't tell me your name, ma'am." "Ma'am? Not ma'am, please. My name is Juliet." She smiled, stretching out her hand casually for a parting handshake." "Have a great night, Juliet." He smiled as he shook her hand for the last time.Erick waited, watching her leave as she walked away. She turned, surprised that he was still there but waved at him. He waved back with a smile, before flagging down a cab.She got to her apartment not long after. She sighed as she got to the entrance, bowing her head in tiredness as she unlocked the door. She stepped in
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 69: Mother Miranda
Erick stood in the middle of the majestic looking sitting room with both his hands in this pockets. He looked around, turning from side to side as he examined the whole place. A dainty smile of familiarity carved itself on his nude lips. He closed his eyes for a moment as he inhaled soothing atmosphere. Memories of little him running around this mansion played with his mind, intensifying the smile he had on his face. "Ahhhh.... Home sweet home." He said under his breath as he exhaled."What is that, my boy?" His grandmother asked from behind with a homely smile on her face."It's nothing, grandma." He replied as he turned to face her. Her smile was so enchanting and pure, it awakened the baby inside of him. "Oh grandma! I missed you so much." He smiled back at her, rushing in to her arms. She held him close and delicately, snuggling him like a baby. Her baby. "My baby is now so tall." She said, chuckling gently as she held his arms and looked up at him. "I remember when you were lit
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 70: Turmoils
Miranda paced around gently, completely disappointed in her son once again. He had proven to her once more that he was no better than a child who didn't understand responsibility. She sighed as thought of her late husband came mind. She could see the spark in his eyes when he first set his eyes on his son, Erick when he had just been born. Somehow, she blamed herself for everything. If only she could conceive for a second time, she wouldn't be forcing her unbelievably stubborn son to do anything. Her eyes met her mother's, who was standing harmlessly by the stairs."Don't give me that look, mom." She said as she noticed the square look in her mother's eyes and turned away from her. "I know what you're thinking. I know you're going to say...""I'm not saying anything, Miranda. You are the one who seems to be overthinking all this." She said immediately before her daughter could go further."Then why the eyes,mom? Why are you looking at me like that? Every time this happens, you give
The Return of the Trillionaire Heir Chapter 71: Double Romeo
Juliet walked into the office that morning with the widest smile she had ever worn and of course, the umbrella in her hand. Her long hair was tied in a big, neat and beautiful bun. She wore a simple, red blouse and trouser, with low heeled shoes. She looked absolutely stunning. As she got in to the elevator, she took a very deep breath."New day, new position." She said to herself, a hearty smile still on her face. "You can do this, Juliet. I trust you." For a moment the thought of Liam came to her mind, almost kicking the smile off her face but she maintained it."No,no, no. You aren't going to let that two timed backstabber change your mood now, are you?" She shook her head in disagreement, taking yet, another deep breath. Just then, the elevator door opened. She stepped out of it, her eyes on her work desk not far from her. A sudden wave of hope and fulfilment washed over her, making her cheeks blush in happiness. She walked gently to her desk in a sassy manner and placed both her

Chapter 199: The Final Verdict
"Now listen to me, you creep. You are just bluffing and..." The call ended before he could say anything else. He grunted in anger and walked back to where he was before. Raymond had alerted the police officers inside, and a chase had began to get Olivia. Robert walked back to them, breathing heavily."The police are after her." He tried to catch his breath."I know, sir. Let's meet with the detectives at once. I got everything she said on tape.""Yes!" Roberts eyes lit up. "Let's go, then." The two men rushed in back in to the building. Fransisco followed slowly behind them, but when he saw that they were really ahead of him, and wouldn't notice if he wasn't with them, he moved back. He looked from side to side as he rushed out of the premises. Meanwhile, many policemen ran out of the building like a colony of ants, each person dispersing themselves into different cars. Soon, the cars were out of sight. Robert walked out of the building with Raymond beside him. "It's a good thing you
Chapter 198: Tough Break
The detective squinted as he looked at his colleague. He turned back to Robert with a stern face before speaking."That is a serious accusation, sir. Are you sure about what you are saying?""Sure? Not exactly. But I really suspect that they might have had something to do with this. About Michael, I do not know how involved he might be. But Sophia? She even went to Juliet's house once to talk bad about me.""And how do you know that?""I saw her leave the house. I tried to ask her why she had come but she ignored me, and left hurriedly. Also, Juliet told me about it when I went in.""Hmm..." He sighed softly as he wrote something in his notebook. "And why would this Sophia want to talk bad about you to your girlfriend?""Sophia and I used to be married. But we got a divorce right before I met my grandfather. After that, she tried had to get back in to my life, but I refused. I think that made her very angry because she said questionable things after, things I didn't take serious.""Sh
Chapter 197: One Step Close
"He will be down here in a bit. We should wait in the car, so we can leave immediately he gets here." Raymond announced as he walked down the stairs. Robert immediately opened the door and walked out on hearing that. "Umm... Ryan." He called as he walked towards the car. "Some people will be here later today to do some fixing in here, let them in. They will show you their ID cards first.""Yes, sir." Ryan nodded. He left as soon as Robert waved him off."Sir..." Raymond called hesitantly. "Please, I need to speak with you.""What is this about, Raymond? You know this isn't the time for conversations that are not...""It is very important, sir.""Alright." He sighed and got in to the car. Raymond walked to the other side and got in as well. "What is it?""It's about Fransisco." He paused and swallowed hard. "I... I heard him in his room." Robert squinted with concentration. He didn't trust Fransisco one bit and with the way Raymond was speaking, he was ready to hear the worst."What
Chapter 196: Re-emerged Case
Robert didn't sleep the whole night. His eyes were open, fixed to the ceiling and filled with tears in his grandfather's room. It felt like the night would never end, like the torture and pain he was feeling would never end as well. Raymond knocked on the door several times to find out if he was alright, but he asked him to leave every single time. Just as his eyes were beginning to flutter with drowsiness, a bright light pierced through the window. He got off the couch immediately and headed to his room. There, he had a quick change of clothes before heading down to meet Raymond, and of course, Fransisco."Good morning, sir." Raymond said as soon as he saw him walking down the stairs. There was a smile on his face. One that Robert could not fathom at first. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." He said sharply with very steady eyes. He didn't seem like someone who had sobbed all night, maybe because he was very good at hiding his feelings. "We need to go to the station now.""But you've not h
Chapter 195: Blood And Water
"Gone? Gone?" She asked, totally calm. She was dazed for a moment. She stood still with tears running down her cheeks. "What is gone? What does that even mean?" She managed to murmer."I don't even know what happened. I met the policemen on my way to the house, and I saw her. I saw her right there being placed on the stretcher. And she wasn't moving."She shot an angry eye at him as he tried to explain what he had seen. He stopped immediately and looked down. It was clear that all he was saying didn't matter to her at this point. She didn't want to hear anything."What did you do to my sister, Robert? What did you do to her?" She yelled."No, no. What are saying? I do not know what exactly happened to her. But I will make sure they pay dearly for it.""You, liar. What did she ever do to you? She didn't deserve this. She didn't!" Mary yelled, crying bitterly. She didn't mind the staring eyes that looked in her direction. She just wanted to know why this had to happen to her sister. "
Chapter 194: Disbelief And Pain
"Police station? What for?" She asked with wide eyes. He couldn't see her but he could already tell the expression on her face. And that was because she sounded just as confused as she looked. "What does that have to do with my sister, Robert? Where is my sister?""I'm really sorry, Mary." He said with a shaky voice. He could no longer contain the hurt he felt. "They don't really know what happened to her, but....""But what?" She interrupted sharply with tears dancing freely in her eyes, waiting gor the perfect opportunity to pour out. She heard what he was saying, but she did not understand. She did not want to understand if it was really what she was thinking. "What are you talking about, Robert? Where the hell is my sister?""Just meet me at the station now." He ended the call immediately. He couldn't mutter the courage to tell her that Juliet was found dead just minutes ago. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded at the police officer. "I'll be at the station."Immediately after
Chapter 193: Bloody Dusk
As he drove closer, he could see bright lights in a distance. He squinted hard to see exactly where the lights were coming from, but he couldn't see clearly. He sped up and was surprised to see police vehicles littered all over the place. He parked his car close by and looked on. He could see some officers placing barricade tapes around that particular area. Thoughts started to fly once more in his mind, and for a moment, his throat tightened. "No, no. Don't overthink anything, Robert." He said to himself and took a deep breath. He got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the area. As he got closer, he thought he recognised the car that was parked on the side of the road. He shook his head in disbelief and got even nearer to the scene. But before he could go past the barricade tapes, he was stopped by one of the officers."You can't come here, sir." The officer said roughly, his hand against Robert's chest in a light manner."What is going on here?" He asked in confusion, stari
Chapter 192: Quick Search
About two hours after Juliet left the office, Robert decided to do same. Juliet suddenly came to his mind. "Isn't she home yet?" He said under his breath. "Why hasn't she called yet?" He picked up his phone from the table and called her immediately. The first time, there was no response. He called again, and still, there was no response. "Well, I guess she's busy. I'll just call when I get home." He stood up and arranged all the documents, piling each on top of the other. He tucked everything under his arm and headed to the car."Good evening sir." The security guard hailed from his duty post."Yes, good evening." He answered before placing the documents in the back seat of the car. He closed the car door and walked closer to the young man. "Umm... Tomorrow, some men will be here to do a few checks and fixings in the building. Do let them in, alright?""Yes sir.""Alright then. Have a good night." He nodded and walked to the car. In no time, he sped off. As he drove down the street t
Chapter 191: Dead And Gone
It was 5pm now. The once blue sky was slowly getting darker. Little golden strips beatified the now grey like clouds. Juliet had a pile of documents in front of her and was working on them with utmost focus. Robert sat right opposite her, doing the same. His eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the glass wall, and then, at Juliet. He stared at her for a moment. He agreed with himself one more time that she was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on. It felt like time stopped during those few moments, and he was lost in the beauty he was beholding."What are you looking at, Mister?" She asked in a serious tone. Her eyes, pinned on the papers in front of her. Robert shook his head with a soft smile, and peered down at his watch."You should get going, honey. It's past five.""Oh!" She exclaimed calmly and placed the pen in her hand on the table. She looked up and met his eyes. "You really want me to go?""If there was an alternative at this point, then I would
