Hello valued readers, welcome to THE JUSTICE SERIES. This series started with HEIRESS, I had once written this story before I started Wattpad but stopped halfway.
Now I have completed it on Wattpad, this is an edited version. I had planned to do so earlier but I was really busy.
HEIRESS is the first book in The Justice Series and is followed by THRILL, WildHEART and MOREMI. you don't have to read them in any order, but certain characters appear in a certain order.
Now, a fair warning before you start this book. There will be descriptions of gore and heart wrenching scenes and some scenes might change and new additions made. All the same, I hope you will love it.
PROLOGUE
====
"You are such a bastard Raphael! A cheating conniving bastard. I can't believe all the years I spent with you, you had affairs! You have a useless slut as a daughter! A crippled and this...this goody two shoes! How dare you?!".
"Calm down Marlene-" the lawyer tried to calm.
"Don't tell me calm down! Call my lawyer! I want a divorce!" Marlene yelled, "call my lawyer since you are so useless!".
.......
"I really mean it, I am so sorry about that sis. I swear I didn't mean to sleep with him. It was an accident".
"Shut up." Stella said, anger in her voice making her tremble.
"It was mostly his fault Stella, he seduced me-" Megan said clearly taunting her.
"Shut up Megan!" Stella yelled, turning around to face her.
"Fine! Glad you realize he wasn't in your class" Megan sassed, flipping her hair back.
.........
"I have an arrest warrant for Sky Esoro. He was involved in a armed robbery attempt."
"No..." Everyone looked at Brandon in shock.
"Armed robbery...what nonsense is this?! Why would Sky steal?! He is rich, he has money so what bullsh*t are you telling me?!" Raphael yelled in anger.
...........
"All I know is that, That boy! He can't be my son! He is nothing like me!" Raphael said angrily in a low voice, but to their hearing.
"whose son can he be except for yours? You know I am not an adulterer like you."
........"Ha-have you heard from Sky?" Becca asked tentatively.
"No, I haven't. My life is such a mess Becca! Why is my life like this!... everything is all my fault." Stella said, clawing at her hair.
"It isn't Stella, it isn't."
.......
"Thank you...Roxanne" she said, saying Roxy's full name.
"It's nothing, and you can call me Roxy. Everyone calls me that" Roxy said hesitantly.
........
"Megan seduced me. I am sorry, please forgive me. I love you."
Stella burst into laughter upon hearing his last sentence. "Love? What good will your love do me?" she laughed, "I am never going to marry you. Over my dead body, will that happen."
.....
"Father? Father?!.... Father! Father! What happened to you? FATHEERRR!!!"
Stella ran to see her father's body, Raphael on the floor close to his wheel chair. His eyes were closed, his body was bordering on cold and blood oozed out of his chest. The blood was even on his beard.
"Father no! No no no!" Stella cried, clutching her father. "Wake up! Wake up!"
........
"Your father was killed and Roxy and Megan were attacked. Someone is targeting your family. I suggest you hire guards. The police will do their best to apprehend the murderer."
"Okay. Thank you...Brandon."
........
"Please help!" Stella began to sob,
"I'm coming Stella, just stay with me" Brandon said, the sound of an engine in the background.
Stella whimpered and tried to do as Brandon said but she found herself losing control. She sobbed, "I think I'm going to die Brandon."
......
"...we are gathered here in memory of Stella Ainose Esoro who lived to be 24 years old. Daughter of late Raphael Esoro and Marlene Adichie Esoro. Twin sister to Sky Esoro and Late heiress to the Esoro fortune. Bless her soul."
"She isn't dead. I know it".
"She has been missing for months. She is dead Brandon".
"Her body isn't in the coffin and as I long as I don't see proof that she is dead, I refuse to believe she is."
"Brandon..."
"I won't stop until I solve this case. I promise myself this."
