The Stolen Heiress: Claimed by her Father's Ruthless Enemy. novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Trap him with pregnancy?

I was halfway towards Alexander’s bedroom, when I suddenly heard some noise coming from within the house. I paused for a moment and strained my ears. The commotion seemed to be an argument. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Maybe it was the staff, I thought and continued my way.

But as I moved forward, the noise grew louder and louder, and I couldn’t just ignore it.

So I passed by Alexander’s room and made my way to the first floor.

I climbed down the stairs, then stopped when they were just three steps remaining.

Leaning against the banister, I looked around with a slight frown on my face.

There were about three security guards, surrounding and dragging someone I couldn’t see clearly. But it seemed to be a lady.

"Miss, I told you. You can’t enter without permission." The tallest guard held up a hand to block her attempts to push past him.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you touch me?" The lady snapped.

That voice, I knew it so well, but it couldn’t be who I was thinking right now, because there was no way she could have been here.

"What is going on here?" I asked after a brief moment.

The guards stopped and quickly adjusted themselves the moment they heard my voice.

"We are sorry, ma’am... we were trying to stop this lady from trespassing further..." one of the guards spoke, sounding genuinely apologetic.

I tore my gaze away from them to look at the lady. And I wasn’t wrong. It was her. Claudia. But what the hell was she doing here?

"Shock to see me, aren’t you?" Her lips curled into that cruel smirk I was familiar with. She stood a few feet away from the door, her hands crossed over her chest as her eyes darted around the guards and me as though we were pieces of trash.

"What are you doing here?" My tone was stern which made the smirk on Claudia’s face turn into that of a mockery concern.

"Oh Anna... I came to see how you are doing... I heard your mother died." She took her hand to her face and wiped out some invisible tears with her fingers. "Aren’t I a good big sister that way?" She added. Even a deaf person could hear the malice and fakeness in her voice.

Not that it bothered me. I knew exactly what she was doing. She came here to pick a fight with me, and I wasn’t in any mood for that.

So, I turned around and tried to walk away, but her voice stopped me.

"The doctor said Aunty Seraphina was poisoned... and I wondered who could have done that," she said, pretending to be thinking. I turned around again to face her.

"Listen, Claudia, I don’t have time for theatrics. If you have nothing good to say, please leave," I stated.

"Leave?" She snorted a laugh, as though she found that particular word to be ridiculous. "It seems like you don’t understand that you or anyone here can’t tell me to leave. This is also my property."
