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 88The next morning, I walked into El Camino Group holding Dexter’s usual breakfast in one hand and my bag in the other.Walking in today felt different. I didn’t know if the reason was that I got to know who Fox really was, my long-lost friend, or because of the new clue. Knowing that once we got the document, all our problems would finally be over.Oh God. I felt so alive and optimistic for what was to come.Last night kept replaying in my head. The Three Musketeers were finally back together again.Just thinking about it made my heart feel a little less heavy.Before leaving the cottage this morning, we had all agreed on one thing.Nothing changes. Inside this company, Lucian was still Fox.Dexter El Camino’s driver.And I was still Mia Roberts.His assistant.We were not to have any suspicious conversations, unnecessary eye contact, or make any mistakes that would jeopardize our mission. No one could ever know the truth about us until all of this was over.As I stepped into the compa

Chapter: Chapter 87I could see the relief on Lucian’s face after finally telling us about his mum, and I knew why.For sixteen years, he had been carrying this burden alone.Everyone around him had failed him.Unlike me and my sisters, who had Blake and Aunty Margaret to stand by us before she passed away, Lucian had no one. He had been fighting this battle all by himself.But now he had Blake and me, and I knew we would get through this together.I reached for his hand and held it gently.“I really wish I knew about your mum missing back then. I wouldn’t have allowed you to suffer alone,” I said softly.“Yeah, why didn’t you come to us years back?” Blake added. “We always had each other’s backs back then, even as teenagers.”Lucian smiled at both of us.“I know. We were once called the Three Musketeers.” He chuckled sadly. “I actually came back to the guest house after leaving the police station that day, but the place was empty. There was no sign of you and your sisters. When I asked the security guard

Chapter: Chapter 86 I honestly didn’t know how to comfort Lucian right now. I just stared at him quietly,The cheerful boy who always made everyone laugh was sitting right in front of me looking completely devastated. “Lucian…” I held his hands gently. “Don’t blame yourself.” “You don’t understand, Athena.” He turned to me, his eyes already teary. “I keep asking myself the same question over and over again.” His voice broke.“What if I had just followed that car?” He slowly removed his gaze from mine and faced Blake this time. “What if I had run after it instead of going back inside to continue playing my stupid video game?” His shoulders shook.“I blame myself every fucking day.” The words came out almost like a whisper before he finally broke down. “No… no, Lucian. Don’t say that.” I tightened my grip on his hands. Blake immediately left his couch and sat beside him.“Lucian,” he called softly. “You don’t need to blame yourself. It’ll only keep eating you up.” He paused.“But why did you wish yo

Chapter: Chapter 85 “What did they do to Aunty Sandra, Lucian?” He didn’t answer my question immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and rubbed both hands over his face. The room went silent. The only thing I could hear was the ticking of the old wall clock hanging above my television. I turned to Blake. He was behind me, staring at Fox with worry in his eyes. I returned my gaze to Fox. He was still mute. I didn’t want to push him with more questions because I could tell he was carrying a heavy burden. Right now, Fox didn’t look like the calm and charismatic driver I had met, or the confident Lucian I remembered from sixteen years ago. I didn’t really know what was going on with him, but all I could see was that he was broken. I stretched out my hand and gently tapped his shoulder, trying to comfort him. He took a deep breath Then another. When he finally looked at me, his eyes were already red. “My mum didn’t betray you, Athena,” he said in a shaky voice. Hearing him say that made me feel

Chapter: Chapter 84“Working for Dexter El Camino…” He paused. " It was never a coincidence.”I wasn't too shocked to hear that, it was obvious seeing how he faked his identity but I still wanted to understand why.I leaned forward, wanting to hear more.“What exactly do you mean by that?” I asked.Fox rested his elbows on his knees.“It means I didn’t apply for that job because I needed money.”“I’m not really surprised to hear that you working there wasn’t a coincidence,” Blake said. “I mean, you were too full of potential to end up as a driver.”“Not just that.” I turned to Blake. “Why would Lucian work for Dexter? You used to hate his guts.”“I still do,” Fox replied immediately. “But none of that matters now.”He looked at both of us before continuing.“I applied because I wanted to get close to the El Caminos.”The hairs at the back of my neck stood.“But why would you want to get close to the El Caminos?”He let out a long breath.“For the same reason you became his assistant.”“Wait…” I leaned back

Chapter: Chapter 84My mouth dropped wide open in shock.Sandra Orlando is fox mother.My mind refused to process the words.I just sat there staring at Fox.No. That couldn’t be right.Out of every answer I had expected tonight, that wasn’t even close.I blinked several times, hoping I had heard him wrong.“You… you’re joking, right?” I finally managed to say.Fox didn’t smile.“I wish I was.”I stared at him for another few seconds before slowly shaking my head. Then I turned to Blake.He was still in shock.This was the first time I had actually seen him look speechless.“That’s impossible,” I said, pacing around the house.Fox didn’t interrupt me. He just watched.“I knew Aunty Sandra had a son.” I pointed at him. “He was my friend. We were around the same age.”Images from sixteen years ago flashed through my head.Aunty Sandra’s son and I, with Blake, going to parties together.He was a better driver than I was, so he always drove us around.When he wasn’t doing that, he and Blake were busy playing vid

Chapter: An evening with herChapter 148 Drew’s POV I sat inside the car for almost two minutes after turning off the engine. My fingers tapped absentmindedly against the steering wheel before I glanced at the clock on the dashboard for what had to be the tenth time. Seven o’clock. Right on time. I let out a slow breath. What if she’d changed her mind? Knowing Alia, it wouldn’t even surprise me. She could easily open the door, look me straight in the eyes, and tell me she’d suddenly remembered another meeting. I rubbed the back of my neck and laughed quietly to myself. “You’ve negotiated billion-dollar contracts,” I muttered. “Why are you acting like a nervous teenager?” Because this wasn’t business. Not to me. I knew exactly what tonight was. I had called it a business dinner because if I’d been honest and asked her out on a date. She would’ve said no before I’d even finished the sentence. This was probably the closest thing I’d get to a date with her, and I wasn’t about to ruin it by pushing too har

My hands flew to my mouth in shock. “That’s good news, Alice!” I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her happily.“Best news I’ve heard in my life,” Alice laughed. “Everything is almost finalized now. We just have to meet with the lawyers one last time and conclude everything.”I threw my arms around her.“Oh my God. I’m so happy for you.”She hugged me back tightly.“I still can’t believe it. It finally happened.” Her voice cracked slightly.“I know.” I gently patted her back.She pulled away and blinked .“Can’t spoil this moment by crying,” she sniffed, wiping away her tears before letting out another laugh.“Oh, Alice… those are tears of joy.”“Yeah.” She smiled. “I’m just glad he finally came to his senses.”I smiled.“he didn't, he finally realized he had no choice.”She giggled.“Either way… I’ll take it.”I reached over and squeezed her hand.“You deserve this. You deserve to be happy and have peace.”She looked down at our joined hands before smiling

I hugged them tightly, kissing the top of Luna’s head before ruffling Liam’s hair.“What are my babies doing in my room this early?”Luna folded her arms and pouted.“You’ve been really busy.”“I have?”“Yes.” She nodded quickly. “You always have work now, and you don’t play with us anymore.”Before I could respond, Liam immediately defended me.“That isn’t true,” he said Luna turned to him.“Yes, it is!”“No, it isn’t.”“Yes!”“No!”They went back and forth.“Okay…” I raised both hands. “One at a time.”Luna looked back at me.“You no longer take us to the park or spend time with us

Chapter: Finally freeChapter 145“What has gotten into you?” Kyle asked Alice, his eyes widening in disbelief.“You have gotten into me, Kyle.” Alice pointed at him angrily. “I’m tired of your sick, manipulative lies. Opening that dirty mouth of yours and saying you love me and the kids.”I sat on one of the couches, watching Alice curse the living daylights out of Kyle.The expression on his face cracked me up so badly.“How dare you call me a fool and a weakling?” Kyle spat angrily.The charm in his voice and on his face was completely gone.“Because that’s exactly who you are, darling.” Alice folded her arms. “I know why you’re here. You’ve lost control over me, and it’s killing you.”She continued.“You only want me and the kids back because of your stupid election. You want to paint the perfect happy family so badly.”She stood face-to-face with him.Then she pointed toward the door.“Sign those divorce papers and get out of my life… and my children’s lives.”Kyle’s nostrils flared.“You belong to me, A

Chapter: An unwanted guestChapter 144Lunch break had barely started when I shut down my laptop.My neck ached from staring at spreadsheets all morning. I stretched my arms above my head and let out a long sigh.“I’m starving,” I muttered to myself. “I should go get something to eat.”My eyes fell on the peonies I had kept at the side of my desk. I smiled, picked them up, and sniffed them again.Do I even have anything to wear for my business dinner with Drew tomorrow? I thought.Well, it’s just a business meeting. I’ll figure something out.My phone vibrated on my desk, interrupting my thoughts.I picked it up and saw Alice’s name flashing on the screen.“Hey, Alice.”“Alia…”The moment I heard her voice, my smile disappeared. Something was wrong.“Please… can you come home?”Her tone was filled with panic.“Are you okay? “Before she could respond I continued “Did something happen to the kids “My voice shook with panic , I stood up so fast my chair rolled backward.“Kyle is here,” Alice whispered her voice tre

Chapter: Not a dateChapter 143I slowly unfolded the note and read.I’m sorry for everything you had to go through because of me. You deserved none of it. I know flowers can’t erase the pain, but I hope they can at least make you smile. Have a beautiful day, Alia.There wasn’t any name written at the bottom.Could it be who I’m thinking?Nah… it can’t be him.Drew couldn’t possibly know peonies were my favorite flowers.I ran my fingers gently through the petals.This is so beautiful. I read the note again.Only one person would write something like this.“I see you got my flowers.”I looked up to see Drew walking into my office.His eyes immediately landed on the bouquet in my hands before a smile slowly spread across his face.My instincts were right.Drew brought the flowers.“So it was you.”He slipped both hands into his pockets.“Do you love them?”I frowned, even though I was trying so hard not to smile.“Why didn’t you knock before entering?”I was afraid he must have seen me blushing while readi

Chapter: Chapter 6Sebastian’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 pulled me into a t

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
