Heiress's Haunted Heart
"What is it? Who sent it?"
"It's the usual," Lucy replied with a shrug.
"Ah," Adrienne took the package from Lucy and opened it.
Inside, there was a red, sexy dress and matching heels, along with a note. The note read,
"Wear this tonight ~ BOSS."
*****

Adrienne's past has left her crippled emotionally, and the only constants in her life are her successful business and personal assistant, Daniel. But when Ryan, the heir to a conglomerate, enters her life, she feels a spark of curiosity, not love or infatuation.
As their relationship develops, Adrienne is confronted with the painful reality of her past and the people responsible for it. She's faced with a choice: to follow her heart or seek revenge. Will she find peace or further heartbreak?

Chapter: Chapter 165"Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

Chapter: Chapter 164"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

Chapter: Chapter 163"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

Chapter: Chapter 162"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

Chapter: Chapter 161Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

Chapter: Chapter 160Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

I signed the last page. "I want a mandatory building meeting scheduled for the next hour the purchase gets finalized. Every tenant attends.""Lucien, this is insane.""This is necessary."She blocked my number. She wouldn’t answer her door. She was trying to cut me out based on one moment she didn’t understand.And maybe I deserved her anger.But she didn’t deserve the lie her mind had created about what she saw.I hadn’t slept since the proposal. I hadn’t done anything except stand outside her door like an idiot, hoping she’d open the door and scream at me. Anything was better than silence.And right now? I'm done being reasonable.

Her heartbeat was calm beneath my ear, and for a moment I let myself lean into her.Then it crashed into me.This was the woman he’d chosen. The woman who’d taken whatever chance my mother had at happiness."I'm so sorry." She whispered, thick. “I’ve waited for this day for years. I’m the one who convinced Silas to find you.

As for where he’s been, he represents something quite formidable. Ashford Legal Group is one of the most established firms in the country.”“Ashford,” I muttered. “So he changed his last name too.”“

Well fuck you, Lucien.In an almost aggressive toss, I threw off the blanket, but the surge of adrenaline vanished the moment I stood. My legs went liquid beneath me.

I stood there, naked, as his gaze dragged over every inch of me."Come here."As I reached him, he flipped off the duvet I'd so carefully tucked around him moments ago. He lay there completely bare, taking my hand and guiding me so I straddled his pelvis. His thighs came up behind me, supporting my back. One of his hands went to rest behind his head while the other settled on his chest, rising and falling with each breath.We just looked at each other.The silence stretched between us, heavy with something I couldn't name.

"You think I'm going to be your exclusive little plaything for sixty days?"Alex sat up, confused. "That's not it.""That's exactly what you're saying!" She grabbed her clothes from the floor. "Sixty days of me being only yours, and then what? You disappear to another country and I'm supposed to just accept that? It's always about control with you!" She pulled on her skirt angrily, not caring that his release was still drying on her skin.His jaw tightened. "I fired you for a good reason—""And I'm supposed to thank you for making choices for me without even telling me?"Cold silence settled between them."You know, sometimes you need other people's help in seeing what you truly need, what's good and what's bad for you. Just like Zentharis.""Alex." Her voice went deadly quiet. "What did you do to Zentharis?"He looked away. "I bought it.""You what?""I bought it to prot

"Yes I do, and I didn't break any." "Stop lying, Lena. An exclusive member said you secretly contacted him and offered your body in exchange for money. First you used private records of members, making Zen look like we don't respect privacy, then you broke the no monetary exchange rule. I don't want to see you there again." She hung up before Lena could argue. Lena knew she hadn't broken any rules. She'd never met with any VIP outside Zen premises. Was Theo behind this? She ran her hand through her hair, feeling burned out already. She took a deep breath, preparing for the confrontation she was about to have today. Then she marched into headquarters. At the top floor, Megan tried to stop her from entering Alex's office. Even though Megan was older, Lena was stronger, and she pushed her aside without apology. Alex's office was empty. No j

She wanted to reach out, yank that tie loose, and drag his mouth to hers until he forgot whatever had him looking like he wanted to burn the world down. But she couldn't, not with Sam still here, his presence a goddamn cockblock. "Not at all. You came just in time. Sam and I just finished." "Finished what?" Lena let her fingers toy with the corner of her towel, tugging it down just enough to reveal fresh skin. "What does it look like, Alexi?" Sam appeared beside her then, fully dressed now. He cleared his throat. "Uh, thanks for tonight, Lena. I'll get going." "Not yet, handsome. You have to help me with my wounds." She smiled, licking her lips. "It's in a tricky spot." "Leave." Alex interrupted, stepping inside and shouldering past Sam with a death glare that could have melted steel. "Right. See you at work, Lena." Sam hurried out. The sound of the door shutting echoed through her apartment. Alex stoo

The memory burned through him, making his hand jerk and splatter batter across the counter. "Careful, babe," Nancy called from the kitchen island where she was reading something. "You're making a mess." Alex grunted in response, barely registering her words. All he could see was Lena's perfect ass arched toward him. Her voice echoed in his head: "Fuck you, Alex. I'm gonna make you regret this." Would he regret it? He already did. But which part, touching her or stopping himself? Warm arms slipped around his waist, startling him back to reality. Nancy pressed her cheek against his back, her sweet voice wrapping around him. "You seem a million miles away this morning. Everything okay?" Alex turned with the spatula in hand, facing her concerned green eyes. Beautiful, sweet Nancy with her soft blonde waves an

Chapter: 5. Break HimThe door slammed shut behind them, swallowing the noise of the club, the music, the world. Lena had dragged Alex into a small private room, the air thick with jasmine and sweat and his intoxicating cologne, making her head spin as she pressed her back against the door, pulse roaring in her ears. Alex's chest heaved, his eyes blazed with shock, fury, and hunger in equal measure. The same hunger that had burned in his gaze when he'd lied to her, when he'd told her his arousal was for Nancy. Lena should have turned away, should have bolted the second she'd seen him standing there frozen in the crowd. But she didn't. Because this was the moment she'd fantasized about for years. The moment he would finally see her, the real her she'd buried under friendship and laughter and late-night gaming sessions. The her she only ever let loose in the dark, with strangers who didn't matter. And now he knew. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the mask still dangling from her hand, letting it

Chapter: 4. His LenaThe corridor opened into a vast space that made Alex's pulse kick up. Dimly lit, the air thick with sandalwood, leather, and the unmistakable musk of arousal. His guide's fingers curled around his wrist, pulling him forward as his eyes adjusted. The scene unfolded before him like something from a fever dream. A woman was sprawled across a velvet chaise, her wrists bound above her head with silk ropes, her back arched as another woman—masked in black lace—traced a feather along the inside of her thigh. The bound woman gasped, her hips jerking upward, begging for more. Nearby, a man knelt between a woman’s legs, his tongue working in slow strokes while onlookers murmured approval. Another couple was pressed against a mirrored wall, the man’s hand fisted in the woman’s hair as she moaned, her fingers digging into his shoulders. He swallowed hard. His cock twitched from the sheer rawness of it all. "My God," Alex breathed. The woman beside him chuckled, her thumb brushing his knuckl

Chapter: Michael and Marissa; A New Beginning **Four Years Later** The jet touched down softly on the private airstrip, its engines humming as it rolled to a stop. Inside, Avery stared out the window, her thoughts swirling like the clouds they had just descended through. Her twins, Michael and Marissa, were too excited to sit still, their small faces pressed against the glass, eyes wide with anticipation. It had been four long years since she had left, and now, the thought of stepping back into her past, of reclaiming her role at Stellar and the life she had once known, filled her with a strange mix of emotions—nervousness, hope, and maybe even a touch of fear. As the plane's door opened, the cool breeze rushed in, sweeping across the cabin. Avery took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. The twins, unbuckled and bursting with energy, leapt out of their seats, their laughter echoing through the cabin as they bounded toward the open door. "Mom! It's Uncle Simon!" Marissa squealed, her small hand pointing towar

The cold legal language mirrored the hollow feeling in her chest. A soft knock interrupted her thoughts, followed by the familiar sound of Simon stepping into the room. “Hey,” she greeted him, sitting up slowly, trying to muster a smile. "Here’s the lemonade you asked for," Simon said, chuckling as he handed her the glass. "Though it’s store-bought, not homemade." “I wasn’t expecting you to squeeze lemons in the kitchen,” she smiled, accepting the drink. As she took a sip, her eyes fell on the fresh cut on his lip. “What happened to you? Your lip…” “Oh, that,” Simon shrugged casually. “Got into a fight with some guy at the store. He wanted the last bottle of lemonade. You should’ve seen him—it was ridiculous,” he added with a playful wink. Avery shook her head lightly, amused by his antics, but her smile faded as her thoughts returned to the papers in her ha

He flung open her bedroom door, but it hit him like a punch to the gut—her things were gone. "No... no... no... don’t do this to me, Avery," he muttered, breathlessly, racing outside to the driveway. Her car was missing too. Panic seized him, his heart hammering in his chest. He hurried back inside, grabbing his phone with trembling hands, dialing her number. "The number you are trying to call doesn’t exist..." was the cold, automated response. The phone slipped from his grip, landing on the bed with a soft thud. David stared at it in disbelief, his mind whirling. She’d disconnected her phone. It was as if she’d wiped herself clean from his life, leaving him in a void of emptiness. "No, no, no... this can’t be happening," he whispered to himself, a mixture of fear and frustration bubbling up inside him. He snatched his car key

Avery stood still, her eyes reflecting a mix of resolve and vulnerability, while Emma, regarded her with an air of superiority, completely unbothered by the emotional storm brewing between them. "What exactly are you doing, Avery?" Emma asked, her tone still icy. "Trying to win some sort of 'wife of the year' award? You certainly won't be getting any accolades here." Avery’s throat tightened. She knew Emma's better nature still existed, and she was just hurt by her kids' actions and it was heartbreaking, standing in front of her and seeing nothing but disdain.
