The Heiress Would Be Better Off Dead
Everyone believed Alara Morrell was the family disappointment.
Branded unstable, stripped of her education, betrayed by the people she loved most, and locked away in a psychiatric facility, she returns home to a family that wishes she had never come back.
But the broken woman they remember no longer exists.
While they mock her, Alara quietly takes a position in the family company, where every forgotten file, hidden payment, and buried secret becomes another weapon in her carefully planned revenge.
Then she catches the attention of Edward Ford, the country's youngest billionaire. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to impress, Edward expects obedience from everyone... until one woman looks him in the eye and asks,
"Should I know who you are?"
As buried scandals begin to surface, stolen talents are exposed, and dangerous alliances form, revenge becomes more than justice, it becomes survival.
Power isn't given. It's taken.

Chapter: Should I Know Who You Are?This is their first meeting. He is handsome, yes but that’s enough to make her kiss his ass. In truth she wants this weird rude man to leave her alone and go away, she glances at him bored, he is still there making no attempt to move, wonderful just wonderful right when she had found her flow in navigating these mountains of senseless papers, this man decides to be the difficult obstacle of her day. His expression is stern, standing there waiting, waiting for her to realise her mistake and do as he had instructed but that never came, He isn't impressed.

Chapter: Keep Stealing, SisterOn her first day, she wakes early, earlier than Cedric, who comes down the grand stairs to meet her while she is packing her bag for work. No pleasantries are exchanged, cedric watches glances at her coldly and she returns that cold glance right back to him, it unsettles him but he still silently makes his way out of the house. Without any expectation that anyone would give her a ride to work she begins making her way out of the manor gates when a black Rolls Royce stops in front of her, the windows roll down revealing cedric’s stern face. “Get in, don’t make me late”. Alara enters, slipping into the front seat. The drive was silent.“Do not embarrass the family” cderic breaks the silence glancing at alara briefly before continuing “just do what you are told and stay away from places you are not welcome. I know this whole thing might be new and hard for you.. But please…. Just don’t cause any trouble like you always do, Diana isn’t here for you to blame so do your job” the message wa

Chapter: The ArchivesThe silence lasted about ten seconds although it felt much longer. Then everyone laughs, a grating mocking sound. Cedric, her older brother and the family’s responsible heir laughs first. "Work? What do you mean work? You couldn't even finish university. What exactly are you qualified for?". Alara’s gaze shifts to Cedric, her eyes darken at his words, her mind trails back to a memory of why she hadn’t finished university, back then she was in her final year about to graduate when she was pulled out of school because funding Diana’s music career was far more important. It seems they had forgotten but back then, it was Cedric who dismissed her from being upset claiming getting a degree was useless and a waste of time for her especially if she was just going to end up at the family company. She remembered how wronged she felt back then crying and arguing about how she was so close to graduating how they had enough money to fund both her schooling and Diana’s career and they had almost w

Chapter: Welcome Home, DisappointmentUnsure how much time had passed as she awkwardly laid in bed staring at the ceiling, a maid came to call her down for dinner, “ma’am your family has invited you down for dinner” the maid spoke seemingly eager to leave, Alara’s eyes move to look at who is speaking, her gaze made the maid jump and feel discomfort all at once. Alara returns her gaze back to the ceiling "I'll be down in a moment”, the maid hurried out. Alara sat up, putting on her black long-sleeved turtle neck fitted sweater dress, she walked down the magnificent steps the sound of laughter fills the home, she appears at the doorway of the dining table, FAther is bragging about the company’s achievements and mum is egging him on, diana is pouting clinging to cedric who is also speaking animatedly they look like a happy perfect family, it doesn’t sadden her, it sickens her. They finally notice her presence and the laughter dies instantly, the atmosphere shifts to one of heavy awkwardness. Alara takes her seat, the servan

Chapter: The Daughter They BuriedStanding in the front of the grand manor looking up from the bottom of the ivory marble steps, staring at the monsters that called themselves my family, she no longer felt pain, no anger, just a calm resigned decision to destroy them all. One after the other. None of these bastards were going scot free.Wearing my worn out clothes and a duffle bag of my own belongings over her shoulder Alara looked up at the Morrell family, her biological family. “Welcome back Alara, i know these 2 years were hard but we are glad to have you back fully rehabilitated” Mom spoke walking down attempting to hug me, i took a big step back avoiding her touch, making her clutch her chest dramatically. “What the hell Alara, have you still seriously not learnt how to behave after all these months in that rehabilitation centre” Cedric my older brother chimed in looking irritated. she did not answer, there was no point wasting her breath on a dog who only knew how to bark. “Do you really have nothing to say, i
