Rhea's POV

”Providing me shelter and food — isn’t that what every parent is supposed to do?” I scoffed.

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. For once, the golden girl didn’t have a prepared script to play victim.

“Where are you going?” My mother demanded as I turned away and walked toward the stairs.

“My room… Or no, the st

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 185

    Rhea's Pov Laziel rushed out of the room while Alaric transferred me to the bed. He didn't even look embarrassed and neither did I. Why should we? It was perfectly normal to kiss your spouse. “Rhea, I'll give you both some space. Do you want anything to eat? I'll go get it for you.” Alaric called out my name. “I would kill for some fried turkey right now.” I salivated at the mere thought of eating turkey. That sweet goodness of a bird. Alaric chuckled once more and ruffled my hair, “I'll ask the doctor if you can eat some. I'll be back later.” I nodded as Alaric walked outside and closed the door behind him. After he left, it was silent. I stared at the woman in front of me, observing her. She looked smart, dressed smart too. She looked very familiar and the more I looked at her, the more I felt like I could trust her. “Laziel told me that you were my secretary.” I said, my voice quiet, my gaze still fixed on the woman standing near the door. “Is that true?” The woman nod

    Rhea's Pov “If she wants to have it so badly, why should I continue to fight with her for it? Ginny and Howard will do anything to give the company back to Ginny, and will leave me out of the mix. Rather than for me to continue fighting against them, I'd rather watch them destroy the company with their own hands.” I explained. Alaric didn't look like he fully understood, but he nodded either way. I must have fought so hard for the company for him and Laziel to ask me something like this. I didn't have any recollection of how I was able to get the company but I must have schemed a lot. Adult me, you know that the Thorne's will never let you have anything from them so why do you have to fight with them? Isn't it better to let them destroy everything with their own hands and watch them cry over it? Just like before, when Ginny had made Howard file for bankruptcy, this time, it'll be no different. “But… Aren't I accepting this a bit too fast?” I muttered under my breath. “Accept

    Rhea's Pov I blinked once. I blinked again. And again, and again. “What did you just say?” I questioned. Maybe I heard wrongly, so I wanted Howard to repeat himself. “I said that you should step down so Ginny can become the manager of the company. You are in no position to go back to the company right now so…” “Okay.” “If you don't agree for Ginny to… What?” Howard paused, staring at me with wide eyes, “What did you say?” “I said she can go ahead. If she wants the company, then no issues. She can have it.” I smiled at Ginny who was blinking rapidly. She stepped forward, her hands clasped together. “Rhea, you're not trying to prank me, are you?” Ginny started. “Of course not. If you want the company, you can have it.” I repeated. “But Rhea…!” Laziel started but I raised my hands to stop him. In the memories of what I have in my head, Ginny had ended up inheriting the company as well as other things. It had almost gone bankrupt a few weeks after she took over, I was the one who

    Rhea's Pov “Dissociative Identity Disorder?” I repeated, my heart pounding frantically against my chest, “Two versions of me are trying to coexist within my body? The two versions… Are they the older me that I see in my memories and the me now?” “Yes, those are the two versions. We believe that the other memory of an older you is like a male belief of some sort. It could be some kind of memory that you had created in your subconscious as a way to commit to life. It's best known to you why you are seeing an older you in your memories but with time, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what those memories mean to you. Though, it could take quite a lot of time but slowly, you should come to understand it.” “I see.” I took a deep breath, then glanced at Alaric. From what he said before, it seems like he had a way to explain to me what those memories were so I'd just wait for him to tell me. Deep down, I know that they are memories I want to recover so badly since they should mean a

    Alaric's Pov My heart stopped. I stared at her, barely able to believe the words that had just come out of her mouth. Rhea, my Rhea, was glaring at me like I had just offended her for forgetting something as monumental as a childhood promise. But that wasn’t the issue. The issue was that she wasn’t supposed to remember. It's not like I didn't want her to remember, if she had remembered under different circumstances, I would have been over the moon. But she remembered those childhood memories that she previously didn't remember when I asked her about it, and then forgot the ones she had made in the future. “You weren’t supposed to remember that.” I finally said in a breathless whisper, my voice barely audible. “What the fuck do you mean by that?” Rhea’s tone turned defensive, suspicious. She leaned forward slightly, wincing from the movement, and Laziel immediately reached out to steady her. “Don’t move too fast.” Laziel said gently. Rhea narrowed her eyes at me, “You

    Rhea’s Pov The Doctor gaped at me after I finished speaking, but then he smiled, “There might be an explanation for that once we run a few more tests.” “Oh, okay.” I murmured under my breath, “Where is Alaric? I want to see him.” I asked. “Alright. I'll call him in for you. He's been waiting outside since when you first woke up.” The doctor said on his way out. After he left, it was silent for a while. I could only hear the beeping of the machines that were connected to my body and then, the doors opened. I whipped my head towards the door and my lips widened into a smile the moment I saw Alaric. “Alaric!” I brightened up and scrambled to get off the bed but before I could even make a move, I was pulled into a very warm embrace as Alaric buried his face in the crook of my neck. The movement made me freeze at first, more from pain than anything else. His arms wrapped around me so tightly it was like he thought I would disappear if he let go of me. I could feel the tremble in his sh
