The Forgotten Heiress
Sixteen years ago, Athena Mallway lost everything in one devastating night. Her mother died in a planned arson, her father was murdered, and the empire they built was stolen by the people they trusted most.
After sacrificing her life to raise her younger sisters, Athena is ready to reclaim what belongs to her. Under the disguise of Mia Roberts, she becomes the personal assistant to Dexter El Camino—the billionaire who now controls her father’s company.
Dexter was once her childhood crush.
Now, he is her enemy.
Athena has one goal: uncover the truth, destroy the families who ruined her life, and take back her inheritance. Her most important rule is simple—stay focused and never let her old feelings for Dexter El Camino surface .
But as secrets unravel and old feelings resurface, Athena begins to question everything she thought she knew.
In a world of love, lies, and revenge, reclaiming her empire may cost her heart.

Chapter: Chapter 30I could barely sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, Dexter’s angry face appeared in my head.Honestly, I didn’t know what was going on.Was it the fear of the unknown?Or the fact that I had heard from Dexter again?I just kept rolling around on the bed, restless, wondering if morning was ever going to come.Time was moving slower than usual.At some point around three in the morning, I gave up trying to sleep and just stared at the ceiling.A few minutes later, I stood up and began pacing around my room.This was torture.He shouldn’t have sent me that email.I had been sleeping well these past two days before it came.“Athena, why are you this anxious?” I muttered to myself.Maybe Blake was right.Maybe Dexter wanted to give me my job back.“You must be kidding.”I said it out loud and immediately shook my head.“Don’t give yourself hope.”If Blake hadn’t convinced me that it was better to go and know what was happening than sit at home drowning in curiosity, I would have stayed back

Chapter: Chapter 29“Athena.”June waved her hand in front of my face.I lowered the phone and looked at them. They had walked back to where I was.“Yes?” I managed to say.“What happened?” June frowned. “One minute we were laughing and the next you’re looking like you’ve seen a ghost.”“It’s nothing. Let’s go.” I tried to move, but July blocked my path.“It can’t be nothing.” July’s eyes narrowed as she glanced at the phone in my hand. “What did you see?”I quickly slipped the phone back into my pocket.“You’re acting funny, Athena,” July said, studying me carefully.I stared at them. They both looked confused and worried.I didn’t want to upset them.“It’s nothing, girls. My boss wants me to run some errands for him despite being on leave,” I lied.June immediately frowned.“Oh, he must really be a jerk. You’re not the only staff in the company. Why bother you on your break?” she hissed.I forced out a small laugh.“He is really a jerk. Let’s go.”We continued walking, but I felt restless. Dexter had b

Chapter: Chapter 28The park was a bit more crowded than usual. Children were running around, playing on swings, and participating in different games. Some couples sat under trees while others walked their dogs.I sat on the bench, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. Coming here wasn’t a bad idea after all.“Athena!” June yelled my name from the ice cream truck. “Strawberry or vanilla?”“She likes both,” July replied before I could answer.“Didn’t ask you though.” June shot July a look.“You girls are still going to fight over ice cream?” I asked, shaking my head.A few minutes later, they were both done ordering and walking back to me.“Here you go. Vanilla and strawberry, just as you wanted.” June stretched out her hand and gave it to me.“Thank you.”I noticed she had three flavors in hers.“How do you always get the workers to give you three flavors when the highest you can get is two?”“Well, who would say no to this face?” June placed both hands under her chin and gave me a wink.“Oh please.” J

Chapter: Chapter 27Two days had passed since I lost my job and the life of Mia Roberts ended.I kept the wig and everything I used for my disguise locked up in my wardrobe seeing them made me more angry.The twins had asked why I hadn’t been going to work, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell them I was fired.They were genuinely happy about the new job.Even though I knew it wasn’t really a real job for me, it was just a means to get what I wanted from the El Caminos.They didn’t know that.For them, their big sister could finally take a break from jumping from one part-time job to another.As for Dexter, I hadn’t heard any news from his company.The only information I got was from HR.An email was sent to me that very day while I was having lunch with Blake.A termination of my contract as Dexter’s assistant.Not a day had gone by in these past two days that I didn’t think about how I could have done that job better.Maybe I should have searched the office one more time.Did I even check the car proper

Chapter: Chapter 26“Babyyyyyyyyy!”“Jesus Christ, Cassie.” I removed the phone from my ear because of how loud she screamed.Cassie’s voice could wake the dead.I placed the phone back to my ear.“You almost damaged my eardrums, Cassie.”“Sorry, baby, but are you okay? Your voice is low?” Cassie asked, her voice immediately softening.“I have a headache,” I muttered, rubbing my temple.“Oh sugar, then you should be resting,” she said.That was my plan before your call came in.I thought the conversation had ended.“Dexter, I’m not happy at all.”I exhaled, already knowing where this was heading.I walked over to my balcony and rested my hands on the rails.“What’s wrong?” I asked.“I want us to change the venue for the wedding.”I closed my eyes briefly. I knew her anger had something to do with the wedding preparations.“What is it this time?”“I no longer want the venue we are using for the wedding. I just found out the president’s daughter used it last year for her birthday.”“Really, Cassie?” I pinc

Chapter: Chapter 25 Dexter POV The audacity that girl has. You misplace a document and if I hadn't handled the damages she caused me in that meeting. I could have lost my contract and she has the guts to run her mouth? I scoffed. “Can you imagine that, Fox?” I said to the driver. “I understand you, sir,” he replied. Was she expecting me to give her a treat after the carelessness she pulled? Now she's acting like the victim and I'm the villain. Her audacity should be studied. “I mean, Fox, you've worked with me for a year now. How many times have I shouted and yelled at you?” “Just a few times sir” “Exactly. It's because you do your job well. If she did her job diligently, we wouldn't have an issue.” I scrolled through my phone but my anger kept rising. I treat people like trash, I scoffed again. That's what she said. “Can you imagine that, Fox?” “Miss Mia was just speaking out of emotion. I don't think she meant that.” “Oh trust me, she did.” I shook my head. “Such an ungrateful person.

Chapter: Not my heroChapter 130Why is Drew here? I thought immediately.“Drew baby!” Kirah’s face lit up instantly the moment she saw him.She practically jumped in excitement.He'd better be here for her and not me.I quickly looked away and faced the officer instead.Kirah hurried toward Drew immediately as he walked into the station.“Babe, they hurt me badly…” she complained dramatically, showing him her arm before stretching her hands forward for a hug.Drew brushed past her completely.Kirah ended up hugging the air.Priscy burst out laughing loudly beside me.I could hear a few officers nearby trying to hide their laughter too.“I have never seen anyone as delusional as Kirah,” Priscy whispered beside me, chuckling.I turned slightly.Kirah stood frozen on the spot.Her face had turned completely red while her chest rose and fell heavily.I honestly couldn’t tell if it was anger or humiliation at this point.Even a blind man could see Drew was truly done with her.But Kirah was obviously too delu

Chapter: Locked up togetherChapter 129Kirah and Priscy were still at each other’s throats even after the police arrived.The officers literally had to drag both of them apart while they kept throwing insults at each other.Kirah was placed in one police car while Priscy and I were pushed into another.The entire ride to the station was chaotic.Priscy kept muttering curses under her breath while Kirah, from the other car, was still screaming like a madwoman outside.By the time we arrived at the station, my head was already pounding badly.The police station smelled heavily of old files, coffee, and sweat. Officers moved around busily while a few people sat on benches waiting to be attended to.And somehow… our chaos continued there.“Officer, I’m telling you, this woman—” Kirah pointed at me across the table. “She came to my house with her little minion to beat me up!”“Liar!” Priscy snapped immediately. “Tell them how you threw the first punch first!” She pointed angrily at Kirah. “My friend and I were defen

I looked directly at Kirah, my chest rising heavily. “How can you even do this to your fellow woman because of a man?” I asked angrily. “Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?” “I don’t care about looking ridiculous,” Kirah snapped immediately. “As long as I make your life hell for taking what was rightfully mine in the first place.” “You can’t make my life hell, Kirah.” My jaw tightened. “I’ve come too far to let a lowlife like you destroy me.” Beside me, Priscy was practically vibrating with anger. I knew she wanted nothing more than to tear Kirah apart. “Please take your sermon somewhere else.” Kirah yawned while resting her body against the doorframe. “You did all this because you think I have something going on with Drew?” My voice cracked slightly in frustration. “How many times do I have to tell you I w

People will always talk.” She squeezed my hand lightly. “You did nothing wrong, okay?”“I just wish this didn’t happen. I honestly don’t know what Kirah wants from me.”“Where does that Kirah bitch live? Because I need to talk to her right now.” Alice’s hands clenched into fists.“I’m heading to her house now,” I said immediately. “But you can’t come with me. I need you here with the kids.” I sighed deeply. “You know mum traveled… I wonder if she has seen the news yet.”“No, she hasn’t. If she did, she would have booked the next flight to Seattle immediately.” She shook her head. “But I still don’t like the idea of you going there alone.”“I’ll

Chapter: Seattle New headlineChapter 126How did this happen?My fingers froze around the phone as I kept staring at the screen.There were more pictures.One of Drew holding my wrist tightly while pulling me back toward the hotel entrance.Another one of us having dinner together even one with Drew opening the hotel room with me behind him.My chest tightened painfully with every swipe.What the hell?They were twisting everything. Changing the whole narrative completely.Alice sighed heavily behind me.“It’s everywhere, Alia…”I quickly scrolled down to the comments section and instantly regretted it.Alia Hart must be a whore. Why divorce him only to go back fucking him again?My hands trembled as I read it. The room suddenly felt hot.Another comment popped up.I heard she’s also dating Harry Williams. Is she playing both men?“What?” I whispered in shock.No.No, no, no.I didn’t want Harry dragged into this.How did they even know about Harry?My fingers trembled slightly as I kept scrolling despite knowing

Chapter: Scandal at sunriseChapter 125Alia's pov Kirah is never beating the villain allegations. Sometimes I feel she needs to be checked into a psychiatric home because the words that come out of her mouth tells me there’s no way a normal person would think or talk like that.Drew walked back into the house breathing heavily. Carrying Kirah out must have been one hell of a hassle for him.“I’m truly sorry you had to experience that, Alia.” He rubbed the back of his neck tiredly. “Kirah had no right saying that about the kids.”“I know.” I adjusted the file in my hands. “And I’m sure those two slaps should help reset her brain.”A small smile almost appeared on his face before disappearing again.“I didn’t even know she was coming tonight. I don’t want you to—”I raised my hand immediately, stopping him.“I really don’t care right now, Drew.” My voice came out flat. “I don’t care what’s going on between you both.”“Nothing,” he cut in quickly. “I’ve warned her several times to stay away from me.”“Still not m

Chapter: A man like Sebastian's knightChapter 6 Sebastian’s car drove into my father’s compound. We had spent the last few hours plotting Ethan and Lila’s wedding, and I almost didn’t realize how far time had gone. The moment the headlights flashed across the compound, I saw Nora pacing in front of the house. Oh Ariana, silly you… You should have known Nora would be worried. The car stopped and Nora approached immediately, curiosity all over her face. The moment I stepped out of the car, she breathed out in relief. My chest tightened seeing that. I should have thought about how she would feel. “Oh my God, Ariana!” she rushed towards me. “Where have you been? You left your phone at home and I couldn’t reach you. I’ve been searching everywhere for you. Are you fine?” Her eyes ran over my body worriedly. “I’m fine,” I replied quietly. “Fine?” Her eyes widened. “Do you know how scared I was? I thought something happened to you.” Her voice cracked slightly. Guilt hit me instantly. “I’m sorry.” She pulle

Chapter: Chapter 5An hour ago I was standing on the bridge about to end it all and now here I was in my supposed fiancé’s house.Yes… I’m getting married to Sebastian. If I have to marry a total stranger to bring Ethan and Lila down, I will. After all, I married for love… and look what it did to me.Now I’m marrying for revenge.That alone sounded crazy in my head, but at this point, nothing about my life made sense anymore.I sat on the couch quietly, rubbing my hands on my lap, trying to calm the fury inside me.Sebastian walked in holding a glass of water.“Here.”He handed it to me.“Thank you.”I took it from him and drank slowly till the cup was empty my throat had been so dry from all the screaming and crying.As he turned and took his seat, I noticed him properly for the first time.My eyes moved over him without meaning to.He was tall,His shoulders were broad, the kind that made him look firm, like nothing could shake him. The way he sat carried authority without even trying.Then my eyes moved

Chapter: Chapter 4Two months later .They say grief fades and time heals. Maybe that’s true for them but for me, I still haven’t healed from my father’s and unborn child's death. Two months have passed since my world came crashing down but never a day goes by that I don’t drown in sorrow.I looked around the room, my father’s room was the only place I stayed since I got back it made me feel closer to him.This house was the only property Ethan couldn’t take because he had no access to the papers and my dad had placed it in my mother's name. If he didn’t I’m sure I would also be homeless.I rubbed my hands on the floor. Some parts were soaked with my tears.The bed was right there but I couldn’t bring myself to use it. It felt wrong… like leaving the floor meant accepting he was really gone.Ding dongThe doorbell rangI didn’t bother checking. I knew it was Nora. She was the only one who came to this house to check up on me. Every other person abandoned me. I was no longer the rich heiress; they didn’t

How dare he call me weak?“It’s easy for you to throw words at me!” I yelled. “You’re not in my shoes, so you can’t know how I feel!”He didn’t flinch.He just looked at me… then slowly leaned back, folding his arms and crossing his legs, like I was some kind of show. That made it worse.But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop.“Everything you think you know about me is what the media or the public must have told you,” my voice trembled, and I hated that it did. I was trying so hard not to cry again.“The rich heiress who lost everything… the foolish wife who got cheated on and thrown away…”I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head.“That’s how you see me, right?

Did I hear him correctly?“Is this supposed to be a joke?” I blurted at him, my voice shaking.He shrugged his shoulders slightly, as if it meant nothing.“I’ve never been good at telling jokes. I meant what I just said.”That was it.I stood up from the floor immediately and faced him.“Have you gone crazy? What am I even saying—you are crazy!”My chest was rising fast. I was mad as hell.“What kind of person are you?” I screamed at him. “You know what, I think I know why you are here.”“Ethan and Lila sent you to humiliate me, right? I’m sure they told you to make me miserable.”I pushed his chest hard.“Go and tell them how miserable I have become. Go on.”I kept pushing him. But he didn’t move.Not even a step.His expression stayed the same… unreadable.“You’re mistaken. No one sent me.”His voice was cold, with no emotion in it.“Just stop!” I held my head tightly.The rain was still pouring heavily, soaking into my skin.“Why is everyone doing this to m

Chapter: Chapter 1 Life is funny, one minute everything looks perfect, the next minute it falls apart so badly you start questioning if any of it was ever real. I stood in front of my father’s grave, looking at his casket. The only person I had in this world was gone. My heart felt like it was in a mincer and was being torn into pieces but no tears fell from my eyes. It was as if I was still in denial, like all of this was a dream… or maybe because the past few days I had been crying nonstop and now I had no more tears or strength in me. People were talking around me, low whispers passing from one person to another. “Such a pity.” “She lost everything.” “I heard the husband took over the company.” “They are now divorced, so he’s now her ex-husband,” another person added. I heard all their words loudly. Were they here to mourn with me or make a mockery of me? Right now, I didn’t care. The only thing I could see was my father’s casket being lowered into the ground. My father… the only man who ne
