The Heiress Who Stole My Heart
She was promised the family empire. She never expected to lose her heart to the woman hired to protect it.
Lina Kornnaphat has spent her entire life preparing to inherit her family’s billion dollar empire. Brilliant, elegant, and emotionally guarded, she believes nothing matters more than protecting her legacy. But on the night she is announced as the next CEO, an assassination attempt changes everything.
To keep her safe, the family hires Aria Sutham, a former military intelligence officer with an unshakable reputation. Calm, fearless, and impossible to manipulate, Aria moves into the Kornnaphat mansion as Lina’s personal bodyguard. Their relationship begins with constant arguments, clashing personalities, and growing resentment as Lina refuses to surrender her freedom.
As hidden enemies emerge and dangerous family secrets come to light, Lina realizes the greatest threat isn’t outside the mansion but within her own bloodline. Forced to trust the one woman she cannot control, she slowly finds herself falling for Aria.
Bound by duty yet torn by forbidden love, the two women must fight betrayal, power struggles, and impossible choices. When the truth finally surfaces, Lina must decide whether to protect the empire she was born to rule or risk everything for the woman who has become the only place she truly feels safe.

Chapter: 10: The House RemembersChapter 10The House RemembersThe smartphone remained dark.Aria pressed the power button again.Nothing.She removed the back cover.The battery was gone.Lina frowned.“That’s impossible.”“It was never meant to stay on,” Aria replied. “Someone wanted us to see exactly one message.”The black evidence box sat open on the metal shelf, now looking strangely ordinary.A few minutes ago it had felt like the center of a conspiracy.Now it was just an empty container.One of the guards stepped closer.“I checked every entrance before you arrived. No one came through the mansion.”Aria looked around the hidden chamber.“Then they never entered through the mansion.”Silence followed.Lina folded her arms.“You think there’s another way in.”“I think this room wasn’t built to hide secrets.”Aria ran her fingers across the concrete wall.“It was built to move them.”…An hour later, dawn began to break over the estate.The mansion looked peaceful from the outside.Birds sang in the gardens.

Chapter: 9: The Girl in the Photograph Chapter 9 The Girl in the Photograph The scream still echoed through the mansion as Lina and Aria ran down the corridor. “Lina!” It was Eleanor. Her voice cracked with panic. By the time they reached her bedroom, guards had already forced the door open. The room was empty. The windows were locked from the inside. Nothing appeared disturbed. Except Eleanor. She stood in the center of the room, staring at the wall as though she had seen a ghost. “Grandmother?” Lina rushed to her. “What happened?” Eleanor didn’t answer. Instead, she pointed toward the mirror. Written across the glass in fresh condensation were four words. She was never yours. The message slowly faded until only water droplets remained. Lina frowned. “There isn’t even enough humidity for that.” Aria touched the mirror. It was ice cold. Far colder than the rest of the room. She looked upward. The air vent. Someone had chilled the glass moments earlier. Professional. Calculated. Not supernatur

Chapter: 8: The Journal That Wanted to Stay HiddenChapter 8The Journal That Wanted to Stay HiddenThe wire was almost invisible.Had Aria been a second slower, Lina would have already opened the journal.Instead, she stood frozen, her wrist still in Aria’s grasp.“What is it connected to?” Lina whispered.Aria crouched beside the desk, her flashlight sweeping across the polished wood.The wire disappeared beneath the drawer before vanishing into the floorboards.“It isn’t protecting the journal,” Aria said quietly.“It’s warning someone.”Lina’s pulse quickened.“Someone knows we’re here?”“I don’t know.”Aria looked at the tiny mechanism hidden beneath the drawer.“But whoever designed this wanted to know the moment the journal was touched.”One of the guards stepped forward.“I can cut it.”“No.”Aria stopped him immediately.“If you cut the wrong wire, we’ll never know what it activates.”The room fell silent again.The old grandfather clock continued ticking.Tick.Tick.Tick.Its rhythm felt unnaturally loud.Lina slowly looked

Chapter: 7: Room SeventeenChapter 7Room SeventeenThe mansion’s entrance hall was silent.Every member of the security team stood frozen as Aria folded the note and slipped it into her pocket.Lina couldn’t take her eyes off the antique silver key.The number 17 was engraved so deeply it looked as though someone wanted it to survive for centuries.“Search the entire mansion.”Aria’s voice cut through the silence.“No one leaves. No one enters.”The guards scattered immediately.Lina looked toward the grand staircase.“My grandmother.”…Lady Eleanor Kornnaphat was already waiting in her private study.She sat beside the fireplace with a cup of untouched tea.She wasn’t surprised to see them.“You found it.”Lina stopped walking.“You knew.”Eleanor sighed.“I hoped you never would.”Lina placed the velvet box on the desk.“What is Room Seventeen?”Eleanor’s fingers tightened around her teacup.“There is no Room Seventeen.”Aria calmly placed the folded note beside the key.“Then why would someone risk breakin

Chapter: 6: The Woman Behind the MaskChapter 6The Woman Behind the MaskThe photograph lay forgotten on the library floor.Neither Lina nor Aria noticed it.The only sound was the rain tapping softly against the tall windows as Lina hurried out of the room.She didn’t stop until she reached the second floor balcony overlooking the mansion gardens.Her heart refused to slow down.“What is wrong with me?”She gripped the marble railing tightly.It had been an accident.She had slipped.Aria had caught her.That should have been the end of it.Then why had she stayed?Why hadn’t she moved the moment she realized she was sitting across Aria’s lap?Lina closed her eyes in frustration.This was exactly why emotions were dangerous.They clouded judgment.Behind her, footsteps echoed through the hallway.She didn’t need to turn around.“You followed me.”Aria stopped several feet away.“I wanted to make sure you weren’t hurt.”“I’m fine.”“You hit your shoulder.”“It’s nothing.”“You’ve said that three times since yesterday.”L

Chapter: 5: The Door to the PastChapter 5The Door to the PastThe third thud echoed through the abandoned west wing.No one moved.The servants stood frozen at the end of the corridor while the security guards instinctively reached for their weapons.Aria’s eyes never left the old wooden door.“Everyone stays back.”The guards immediately obeyed.Lina noticed it.Aria never raised her voice.She never needed to.The authority in her tone was enough.Another thud.This one louder.As if something heavy had fallen inside the room.Lina swallowed.“Someone’s in there.”“Maybe.”“Maybe?”Aria slowly crouched, examining the floor beneath the door.A thin layer of dust covered the marble.Untouched.Except…A single line ran across it.Like something had recently been dragged.“Interesting.”Lina looked down.“What is?”“The dust.”“I don’t understand.”“If someone entered through this door, there would be footprints.”“There aren’t.”“Exactly.”Lina frowned.“Then how…”Aria didn’t answer.Instead, she stood and looked
