Rhea's Pov

“Let go of me.” I said, half-heartedly.

“Nope.” He replied, “Not until you calm down and realize that I’m not the villain in your head.”

I stiffened, “You didn’t deny it. You didn’t say you wouldn’t use him.”

He pulled back enough to look me in the eyes, still holding my arms, “You didn’t give me a chance to say anything, Rhea. You just threw your dagger-sharp words at me and made up a whole action movie scenario in your head.”

I scowled, “That’s because you didn’t answer the first question.”

His smile faded slightly. He took a deep breath, “I didn’t answer because the truth is complicated. And I didn’t want to lie to you. My father... It's just complicated but I promise I'm not intending to use Laziel for anything bad. I want to protect him. That’s why I brought him here.”

I studied him carefully, “So your father wants him?”

“Yes.” He said bluntly, “Because if Laziel regains his memories, if he reclaims his name, it will shift the power structure in ways

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 487

    Rhea's Pov “Don't believe her, okay. She's lying. You're such a lovely and awesome child, if anyone doesn't want you, then that's their loss. A lot of people love you.” I said softly, caressing her very soft hair. Neveah let out a giggle that immediately went through my heart, making me gasp softly. “I know that, mommy. You, daddy, Laziel, a lot of people love me! So I don't think about what that woman says any longer. But seeing Grandma and Grandpa, they must have come to warn you about her, right?” I smirked, ruffling Neveah's hair. “My baby is smart. But you don't need to worry about Sally, she can't hurt you and I won't let her.” “Okay, mommy.” Neveah said. I nodded firmly, kissing the top of Neveah’s head as I gathered her into my arms. After a long, warm soak, I rinsed the last of the soap from her small shoulders. Neveah was resilient, more than she should have to be at her age, but I could still see the faint traces of weariness in the droop of her eyelids."Bedtime, princ

    Rhea's Pov “Yes baby, we're leaving now.” I started the engine but before I drove off, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Alaric, telling him about all that I had just been told. I also told you to round up with whatever he was doing fast enough, so that we could be able to join heads together and think about what we were going to do. I threw the phone into the passenger seat after sending the message and focused on the road. By the time we pulled into the driveway of the villa, the sun was dipping below the horizon, painting the sky in bruises of purple and gold.As soon as we stepped inside, my phone began to buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Leon’s name flashing on the screen. My jaw tightened. After everything I had just learned, the last thing I wanted to hear was his oily, manipulative voice.I didn't decline the call. I simply swiped the screen to airplane mode, and tossed the phone onto the middle of the bed. "Come on, little bird," I said, beckoning her to

    Rhea's Pov“Huh?!” I almost fell in response to Maria's words. I didn't say anything for at least ten seconds, my mind racing, waiting for her to tell me it was a joke. The air felt thin, and the silence of the road became deafening. I was shocked, not because I didn't think Sally was capable of such a thing, after all, from all what Maria said, it's clear how much of a bitch Sally is but rather, it was because of the sheer audacity of her hatred. She was the one who had engineered the situation, and yet she spent decades punishing the innocent result of her own crimes.“Sally was angry at Hillary all this while because her plan of tying Hillary's father to herself didn't work,” Maria said, her voice dripping with a mix of disgust and pity. “Sally had drugged him, thinking she could trap him in a scandal he could never escape. She forcefully slept with him and got pregnant immediately after. She thought she had won. She went to him, gloating about the child, but he was more stubborn a

    Rhea's Pov I felt a cold shiver run down my spine as I listened to the depth of Sally’s depravity. "She threatened him? With what?" Maria’s voice shook, her fingers plucking nervously at the silk of her scarf. "Beatrice was more like her mother than we ever realized. She lacked Hillary’s light, but she possessed all of Sally’s cunning. Before we even knew Hillary and Neveah were truly gone, Beatrice had already moved. She drugged Marcello.” She looked at James, who was staring off into the distance, his eyes unfocused. "She staged a scene, got herself pregnant, and then threatened to make my son a scapegoat. She told him that if he didn't marry her and give her child the Morrieti name, she would kill Hillary and blame him for it, just as he ‘killed’ his ex wives. And Sally... Sally played her part perfectly. She sat Marcello down and looked him in the eye with a mother's feigned grief. She told him that she had hidden Hillary away to 'protect' her from his 'curse.' She told him th

    Rhea's Pov Maria nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears that seemed to hold decades of grief. "That is exactly what she did. Hillary grew up under so much maltreatment from her parents, especially from Sally. She was treated even worse than a servant in her own home. In the eyes of the world, the Taylors were a respectable family, but behind those closed doors, Hillary was not a human to them. She was forced to work, to hide when guests arrived, to be invisible. But despite all that, Hillary never became a dark person." A small, sad smile touched Maria's lips. It was a look of pure love. "She was the light itself. Anywhere she went, people loved her. She had this way of making everyone feel seen, even though she had been ignored her entire life. It was only her mother who refused to see the lovely child she had given birth to. Sally looked at her and saw a crime, but everyone else saw love from that child." I thought of Neveah, sitting in the car behind me. She was so much l

    Rhea's Pov I stepped closer to the car door, shielding Neveah from their view, even if they couldn't see her. "How do you know my daughter's name? Who the hell are you people?"The older man shifted his weight on his walking stick. He looked at me with a mix of sadness and another emotion that looked like pride."We have missed a great deal of her life," he said quietly. I gripped the handle of the car door behind me. "I will ask you one more time," I said, my voice cold and sharp. "Who are you? And why did you chase me down?” The woman took a slow step forward. She didn't look offended by my tone. She looked like she expected it."My name is Maria Morrieti," she said. She stood tall, her eyes fixed on mine. "I am Neveah’s grandmother. And this man beside me is her grandfather, James Morrieti.” The world seemed to go quiet for a second. Morrieti. I knew that name from the deep files Alaric had shown me. They weren't just nobility; they were a power that rivaled even the Millers in
