The Billionaire's Heiress

25 - Something Stolen

Madison

We gave our respects one last time to Alfred at his funeral.

"He was a good man." Charles spoke.

"He died a good man." I told him.

Alfred was buried next to my sister as he hoped. I don't know what my sister was thinking, but I believe she loved Alfred.

------------
When we got home, we rested and just did nothing.

"What did he say?" I finally had the courage to ask Charles what Alfred had told him.

"He ordered to burn the prison to kill Xavier before. That's all he remembers." Charles replied.

"That's all?" I asked him.

"Yes, it's the only thing he can remember. It's up to me ro remember what happened next." Charles replied.

"But you can't remember." I told him.

"Yes, even how hard I try." He replied.

"It may take awhile. It may take months or years, but what matters is we're together." I told him.

"That is true." Charles replied then he kissed my forehead.

"Sometimes I dream about water. Like  I was drowning." Charles said.

"Don't make it hard on yourself. We don't need to rush." I told him.

----------------------

Few days passed, and the lawyers legally handed over the papers with my name owning all the rightd to Alfred's properties and businesses with Artie's name on it too.

I don't know how Camilla knows everything we do, but she heard the news.

One morning, Camilla arrived at our home.

"What a wonderful woman you are!" Camilla said as she claps her hands.

"What did I do this time?" I asked her.

"I heard you now own what's left of Alfred's money." She said.

"That's right." I told her.

"You have your own fucking money now, so leave my brother. Go somewhere else and spend your money." She said.

"I'm not leaving your brother. I am not abandoning our family." I told her.

"You will never be family to me!" She said.

I slapped her. I slapped her hard.

"I can no longer tolerate your behavior. I am done being nice to you Camilla." I told her.

"Being nice to me?! You were never nice, you whore!" She said.

"Don't call me a whore. I am not a whore" I told her.

"You are just like your mother, and your sister." She said.

Camilla started walking away then she stopped.

"You killed my mother. You stole my brother  and my money from me." Camilla said then she walked away.

----------------------

My Mom promised to pick up the kids from school. I started preparing snacks for them.

I erased Camilla in my mind for now. I will not tell Charles what happened today. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable at all.

--------------------

The bell rang, Alec started putting his things inside his bag. He wanted to come home really bad, because he wants to read a new book that his Dad, Charles had bought him.
