Rhea's POV

“And I gave you silence. I endured your indifference, your scorn, your favoritism. I kept my mouth shut through every slap, every cold shoulder, every ‘why can’t you be more like Ginny?’ And for what? So I could be accused of humiliating her for asking for my own things back?”

My brother Jason stepped forward again, his hand twitching at his side, but this time I didn’t flinch.

“Try it.” I said softly, daring him, “Put your hands on me again and I swear, this time I won’t just stand there and take it. I’m not the same girl who let you all treat her like dirt.”

“You’re delusional.” Jason spat, “You’ve gone completely mad.”

I chuckled, taking a step back, brushing my fingers across the cheek he’d slapped earlier, “Mad? Maybe. But I’d rather be mad and free than sane and chained to this pathetic excuse of a family.”

My mother looked like she might faint from the sheer audacity of my words. Ginny had gone pale, her act failing to hold up under the weight of truth. Fo

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 61

    Chapter 61 Rhea's Pov “What? Complete your words, Kevin. Are you scared of what people would think if they knew what you were up to?” I crossed my arms, letting my voice slice through the his mind fog and letting him see who held the power here. The classroom had gone dead silent, no one dared to breathe too loudly as all eyes swung between Kevin and me. Kevin’s face twitched, panic flickering behind the mask of anger he wore like cheap cologne. Everyone knew something was off about the supposed “man of the house,” but now that I was cracking his little illusion wide open? He looked ready to bolt. I tilted my head, keeping my voice calm and casual, “Go ahead, Kevin. Ask me why the electricity and water got cut off. Oh wait, you already did, remember?” I smiled sweetly, “Well, let me give you your answer.” I leaned forward just a little, “It’s because, as of this month, you and your family owe me rent. You’ve been living in that house for how long now? Six months? Seven? And y

    Chapter 60 Rhea's Pov “I asked you if we could go on a date, if you didn't want to, you could have told me! You didn't need to try to kill me!” I flared at Alaric who by the way didn't look like he was listening to me. His eyes were wide, filled with shock and his palms were clammy and sweaty. I frowned, did he not want to go out with me so badly? What did I do to this guy? He acted like he liked me previously, even risking his life to save mine so what the hell was happening?! I wanted to pull out my hair so much because he was confusing me! “Ah… I'm sorry. I was just… Shocked.” He took a deep breath and leaned on his seat, “I'm sorry. I… Where do you want to go? I'll take you there after school.” I crossed my arms, “You don't have to force yourself to like me. It's okay, I'll just visit your mother first and I'll…” “No!” Alaric suddenly yelled, making me jump up, startled. “What?” “I said no. We're going on the date, I was just surprised that you would ask me out, that's all,

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 59

    Rhea's POV “Let's just say… I want to drive them to their edge and what better way is it than to start taking the things they thought they had one by one?” “I have no idea on what you're trying to accomplish but whatever you want, I'll do it. Now that you've come to your senses, I'm more happy than ever.” Lilian sounded genuinely excited and happy for me. I had thrown away a gem because of trash like Kevin and the rest. “I'll treat you to a meal the next time we meet each other. Chinese, Italian, Indian, Nigerian, anything you want. You'll get it all.” “I’ll hold you to that.” Lilian replied, laughing softly, “I don’t get spoiled enough these days, so prepare to pay up.” “I’m serious. Once things calm down, let’s go out, just the two of us.” “I’d love that.” She said warmly, and for a brief second, it felt like the world was just a little less cruel. We stayed silent for a few heartbeats, the kind of silence that wasn’t heavy or awkward but peaceful. It was strange how Lilia

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 58

    Rhea's POV “Let go of her!” Damien shouted, prying at her wrists, “What the hell are you doing, Ginny?! You’re going to kill her!” “She deserves it!” Ginny sobbed, her voice hoarse and cracked, “She took everything away from me!!” With a final jerk, the boys managed to tear her off me. Ginny collapsed to the ground, shaking violently, tears streaming down her cheeks in thick rivers. She wailed like a child, kicking at the floor as Jason held her arms tightly and Damien knelt beside her, trying to calm her down. I gasped in a breath and let it out with a trembling laugh, rubbing at the sore bruises forming on my neck. Rachel stood frozen, a hand over her mouth, horror written all over her face. Howard hadn’t moved. “Wow.” I whispered, letting the silence hang thick in the air, “That was dramatic.” “Rhea!” Jason snapped, “How dare you provoke her?!” I glanced at him, eyes glinting with quiet triumph, “It was fun.” Ginny whimpered on the floor, curling into herself, shaking he

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 57

    Rhea's POV “But they haven’t yet.” I interrupted sweetly, “And you know why? Because I didn’t need to lie, Ginny. You did everything yourself. You gave me everything I needed and I will use that to its full advantage. So be a good girl and behave yourself for now, okay? But if you want to go on a rampage, go ahead, I won't stop you. But just understand that whatever you do, I'll return back tenfold.” I paused, letting the words sink in. Ginny slumped on her chair, no expression on her face but I could see the gears in her head turning. The warning didn't need to be said, Ginny wasn't going to listen to me anyways and even if she didn't do a thing, I wasn't going to stop my revenge on her but anyways, she shouldn't say I didn't warn her. “Ah… We are back home.” I said softly when the car was parked into the garage. Then I turned to Ginny, smiling, “Be a good girl and help me out of the car will you? I still can't walk.” Ginny gritted her teeth and did as I asked without saying a

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 56

    Rhea's POV “You absolute bitch.” She spat through gritted teeth, her entire body trembling with rage, “How dare you frame me?!” I didn’t move. I didn’t flinch. I just stared into her wild eyes with eerie calm. “Oh?” I said, voice still composed despite the grip on my throat, “So now you’re going to show your real face? I was wondering how long it took for you to snap, I'm impressed though. You even managed to help push me out, I thought you would somehow let me fall to the ground and say it was an accident, though I doubt you can do that, eyes were on you. You wouldn't dare do more after you pushed me down the stairs.” “Don’t twist this!” She hissed, her face inches from mine, “You told them I pushed you. You sent me to rot in that hellhole for three weeks! And now you act like a caring sister? What kind of sick performance was that?” Her grip tightened. “You didn’t just ruin my name, you humiliated me! I had to sleep on floors, eat scraps, deal with people who actually belonge

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 55

    Rhea's POV “So you're saying that it was all a misunderstanding? She wasn't actually the one who pushed you?” A police officer questioned. “No, she wasn't.” I shook my head, “The person who pushed me was a maid that was targeting the both of us. I think she was jealous of your relationship, she fled so we haven't been able to catch her yet but we're working on it. I should have come here since last week, but things happened, I was hospitalized for a few more days.” I explained, smiling politely at them. The officer stared at me, pity in his eyes. What happened at the hospital wasn't hidden so a lot of people heard about it, he was also one of the police officers who had re-arrested Jones. “I understand, and I hope you didn't have too much of a scare. Things like that tend to give people trauma.” He stood from his chair and directed someone else to bring Ginny out of the cell. “Well…” I trailed off. I hadn't been able to sleep peacefully these days without having some sort of n

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 54

    Alaric's POV “Are you still with me?" I whispered in his ear. He couldn’t respond. Not with the gag in his mouth. Not with the agony and pain rattling his bones, hearing his screams would have been more amazing but I could not let them wake Rhea. But he twitched, so I knew he was still conscious. "Good. Because we’re not done." Fourteen. Fifteen. Sixteen. Each strike served as a balm to my fury, a physical outlet for the storm brewing in my chest. Rhea’s pale face, her trembling voice, the way she had frozen when Jones held that knife to her throat, all of it played over and over again in my mind like a sickening loop. This man enabled that. I hit him harder. By the twenty-third, he passed out cold. "Shit.” Nathan muttered, lifting the man’s head, “He’s gone. Passed out again." I stood there, breath heaving, knuckles coated in blood, his, not mine. Rhea shifted in her sleep behind me, her brow twitching in discomfort. My heart clenched. I didn’t want her to see this side of m

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 53

    Alaric's POV I stared at Rhea, silently watching her beautiful and calm face but the scenes of Jones threatening her with a knife flashed in my head multiple times. I clenched my fists, anger surging throughout my body. If I had come later, who knew what kind of story we would have been saying now?! She almost got stabbed by a knife again! “Alaric!” Nathan walked into the room, “I was able to transfer the footage and you were right, someone had let him into the hospital.” Nathan murmured. I raised my head and took the phone he handed to me, clicking on the video. Jones had bypassed the security by acting like he was going to visit a family member, however, when he got inside the hospital, he met with another guy who took him to the VIP ward and then left. My eyes darkened, “Where is he?” “He realised his cover had been blown so he made a run for it. But our men have surrounded him, it's only a matter of time before they get here.” I didn't respond. I glanced at Rhea a
