The True Heir Katherine's Predicament 1

He had heard of this man's reputation and knew he was the right person for the job.The man stepped forward and saw another figure standing in the darkness. He couldn't make out his face, but he could tell he was tall and muscular. The unknown man took a deep breath and spoke."I need you to do something for me," he said in a low voice. "I need you to put an end to Roland's life."The other man didn't respond at first, but then he slowly nodded his head. "It will cost you," he said gruffly. "A lot of money."The unknown man reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick envelope filled with cash. He handed it over to the other man without saying a word. The other man accepted it without hesitation and tucked it away in his pocket. "It will be done," he said before turning away and disappearing into the da
The True Heir Katherine's Predicament 2
The doctor was sitting in his office, a concerned look on his face as he spoke to Anthony."I'm sorry to tell you this, but patient has taken some odd drugs with an empty stomach. I've prescribed some medication for her to make sure she takes the drugs properly."Anthony nodded, a worried expression on his face. "Thank you, Doctor," he said. "I'll make sure she takes it."The doctor nodded and watched as Anthony left the office. Just as he was about to close the door, a call came in from Katherine's mother. He answered it quickly."Hello?" he said."Anthony," came the voice of Katherine's mother on the other end of the line. "Why haven't you both come to visit me yet? Is something wrong?" Anthony sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Katherine was rushed to the hospital," he said softly. "The doctor said she had taken some odd drugs with an empty stomach and prescribed her some medication." There was a pause on the other end of the line before Katherine's mother spoke again, her
The True Heir A Mother's Worry
The both of them didn't realize that Katherine was already awake and was crying.Her voice came out barely in a whisper. Anthony wanted to push Roland out of the ward when he heard Katherine's loud voice."Don't!" Katherine yelled. Little did she know that her yelling would cause more harm than good.Both Roland and Anthony stared at her in unison.When did she wake up? Why is she panting?Katherine's heart was pounding against her chest. She was panting heavily and her actions scared the hell out of the men.Anthony rushed out of the ward, calling the doctor by his name. The nurses rushed towards him and he directed them to Katherine's ward.The doctor came out of his office with a stethoscope and some medications.Roland held Katherine's trembling palm as tears threatened to fall from his cheeks."Kath, please be alright!" Anthony and the nurses rushed inside the ward alongside the doctor. Anthony glared at Roland but Roland was too busy to care about his glaring.The doctor fixed
The True Heir Restlessness
"Do you think Anthony is hiding something from us?" "From the way he acts and talks, I think he doesn't want us to get worried.""Worried! Katherine is our only child and he doesn't want us to get worried!" Katherine's mother yelled as she placed back and forth in the sitting room.Katherine's parents weren't at ease as Anthony wasn't telling them everything, making them worry even more."He even had the guts to hang up on us. Who does he think he is?" Katherine's mother yelled angrily.She has been throwing a lot of tantrums which her husband couldn't possibly blame her for."Take it easy. I'm even beginning to doubt his capabilities." Mr. Charles; Katherine's father shook his head in disappointment."How did she get an ulcer? The ulcer is meant for those who don't eat well or starve themselves but my Katherine is a foodie and can't stay without eating!" Katherine's mother couldn't stop being worried."I don't think Anthony is treating her well. Aren't they staying together?" She a
The True Heir The Chairman's Return
"Don't worry, the chairman doesn't bite and you'll do just well!" The Butler smiled and tapped his shoulder before leaving to welcome the chairman in.Roland exhaled twice before going downstairs to welcome the chairman as well.A red carpet was spread out on the German floor for the chairman. The chauffeur opened the door of a back limousine car.The door opened bringing a pair of black shining shoes to settle on the ground. The shoe was well polished and you can see your reflection on it.A man in his mid-fifty came down from the car. He was dressed in a black tailored suit that matched his shoe and the black sunglass he had on his eyes. The sun reflected on his bald head.The chauffeur closed the door behind him as the man walked gracefully like an emperor on the red carpet that was made for his grand entrance."Welcome home, sir!" The maids and manservants said in unison as they had their heads bowed and didn't dare to look up to the chairman.The only thing they saw was how shini
The True Heir Where Is His Corpse!?
"How's my wife and the baby? Can I go and see them now?" Chairman Lafayette asked with a hint of worry in his voice.The midwives were dumbfounded, they repeatedly kept whispering to themselves. "Yes...yes!" One of the midwives said shuttering."No sir, the mistress lost her baby!" The other said. Beads of sweat gathered on her forehead and the chairman didn't notice. The three midwives hastily left the chairman's presence. They probably have a skeleton in their cupboard.The chairman didn't hesitate as he went into the room where his wife was to see how she was fairing.When he got to the room, he was surprised to see the mistress sitting on the bed resting on the headrest while sipping the coffee.Wasn't she supposed to be feeling remorseful about the child that she lost? He felt that there was something about the midwife's attitude. The chairman didn't want to think much about it.The Mistress saw him and she quickly placed the cup on the table beside her and pretended as if she
The True Heir The Man That Never Left Her Side
Cyril Hospital..."You can be discharged now and besides you need to take proper good care of yourself and make you don't skip a meal." The doctor advised.Katherine with a well-relaxed face was sitting on the hospital bed comfortably as the doctor checked her body temperature."Thank you, doctor. I'm healthy now." Katherine smiled weakly with her pale lips."I'm glad you are feeling better now and besides you should acknowledge the man who never left your side while you were unconscious." A smile escaped the doctor's lips.The doctor bowed and left her alone in the ward.Katherine exhaled as she remembered that she saw Roland before she passed out again.Roland?Roland was here!Where is he now?Roland tried to recall who the other man was but she couldn't. She remembered wanting to go out with Anthony when she suddenly became dizzy.Anthony?What were Anthony and Roland both doing in her ward?They must have been worried about her.She could recall the worried look on Roland's face
The True Heir A Threat To Their Relationship
"You both should quit looking at me like that. I am fine." Katherine grumped.Before they left the hospital for Katherine's parents house, the doctor gave them Katherine's medications and told her parents to keep an eye on her even though she was an adult.Anthony also followed them to Katherine's parent's house.They were currently sitting on the sofa but Katherine was absent as she was in her room sleeping."So, tell us, Anthony, why did you hang up the phone on us, besides you weren't there with Katherine when we came?" Alvira directed the question to Anthony.She was offended by his act of disrespect."Mom, I didn't mean to hang up on you. I wanted to explain things to the both of you when I meet you both in person and also I never left Katherine's side back in the hospital.""Okay, so why didn't we see you with her when we arrived at the hospital?""Mom, I went to freshen up because I've been there with her for two days." Anthony felt his hands trembling because of too much press

Her eyes were puffy, hinting at tears she had shed in his absence.

Family's Fortune

Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration. "How can you say that, Seraphina?" he snapped, pulling away from her touch. "After everything we've been through, all the evidence of his true nature, you expect me to believe he's the rightful heir? It's preposterous!"Seraphina's eyes filled with concern as she watched Roland struggle with his emotions.

The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, as everyone in the study held their breath, their eyes fixed on the lawyer, waiting for the revelations that would shape their futures."Can you read out the will, now!?"
