CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 166
Rhea's Pov My eyes fluttered open, a groan escaping my lips as a dull ache throbbed beneath my forehead. My head felt heavy, and the world was swaying. I shook my head and blinked, trying to clear my blurry vision. Where was I? I looked around; it was dark. The only light that came in was through the small holes in the cracks and thankfully, they shone bright enough to make me see things a bit. I was in a moving vehicle, probably the truck that hit Marcus and I. Was it the stalker who hit us? Panic began to coil in my stomach. I tried to move, but a sharp pain shot through my side. "Marcus?" I whispered, my voice hoarse. No answer. I fumbled around, feeling for him. My hands touched his warm body. I felt for his pulse, my heart hammering. It was there, he was still breathing, though it was faint. Marcus was unconscious. “Oh God.” I muttered, trying to calm my breath so he wouldn't know that I was already awake. My hands, though still shaky, instinctively went to my pock

Rhea's Pov A Few Hours Ago “We've been on the lookout and here's what we found.” Marcus placed a picture on the table. It was face down and for some reason, I didn't want to open it. “This guy has been stalking you since the third day that those dead rats started appearing in front of the company. We think we might be the one placing them there.” Marcus explained.Someone was stalking me? My heart clenched at the thought. It was to be expected; someone stalking me, I mean. But it still brought back bad memories. “I think you should check out who he is.” Marcus drummed on the table, his eyes on me. I was trying to stall, it seems he noticed that. I sighed, gulped down some saliva to wet my dry throat and slowly turned the picture face up. The moment I saw the man in the picture, my breath froze, and I stilled. It was him! The man who killed me in my past life! My eyes were wide. I couldn't breathe. It felt like a huge stone was placed upon my chest, stopping the airflow. My hands

Alaric's Pov I practically jumped into the car, Laziel hot on my trail. I started the engine, pulling out sharply out of the garage. As I drove, I dialed a number on my phone. It rang twice before Nathan picked up. “Boss?” “That guy we were tracking down, the one I asked you to find for me, what's his status?!” I asked, avoiding an incoming car. The way I was driving, I was sure I would get a speeding ticket and probably land in jail for some time, but I didn't care. Rhea was in danger. “He's still under our watch? Why?” “Are you sure he’s under control? Check where he is right now!” I barked into the phone, my voice tight with an urgency that clearly startled Nathan. I gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white. The moment I had gone back home, after meeting Rhea at the hotel, I had tasked Nathan with one singular, relentless mission: find the man who had stabbed Rhea. We had found him, eventually, a ghost in the shadows, and had kept him under wraps, contained, away from the w

Alaric's Pov The office was meticulously organized, as always. Rhea’s taste for minimalism was evident in the modern furniture and the lack of clutter on her expansive desk. Yet, despite its orderliness, an unsettling quiet hung in the air, a stark contrast to the vibrant energy Rhea usually brought to the space.I walked further into the room, my eyes scanning every surface. A bitter wave of self-reproach washed over me. Fool. I had been so caught up in my own affairs, so confident in Rhea’s capabilities, that I hadn’t pressed her enough. When she said she could handle it, I believed her. When she claimed to be busy, I gave her space. I should have been more attentive. I should have insisted on helping her. My trust, usually a strength, felt like a gaping vulnerability now. This wasn't her usual "busy." This was something she was trying to keep hidden, something that had clearly overwhelmed her.“Anything?” Laziel’s voice cut through my thoughts. He was already checking the large, f

Alaric's Pov “I don't understand what you mean by ‘dead rats’! Explain clearly!” I slammed my hands on the table, glaring wide eyed at the receptionist who gulped. “A few days ago, we were all in the company when Miss Rhea came in with her bodyguard and saw a carton in front of the entrance. We had no idea who put it there, no one noticed. The entire scenario was strange but Miss Rhea asked a security guard to open the box. The box was filled to the brim with dead rats, as well as some illustrations that clearly implied that Miss Rhea was the rat, a prey while the predator was the person sending the rats. She had checked the cameras but found out that someone had deleted the footage of who kept the box and replaced it with a copied footage from some hours ago.” “So? After that day, more rats showed up at the company's doorstep?” The receptionist nodded, “Yes. It's been going on for a few days.” “Rhea came to the company yesterday, right? How was her behaviour like when she w

Alaric's Pov I clenched my fists against my phone, my heart was trembling. “Alaric! What happened?! What was that?!” Laziel’s voice cut through the fog of my panic, sharp and insistent. He was suddenly right in front of me, grabbing my shoulders, his face pale with alarm, “Where is she?! What did you hear?!”I looked at him, my breath catching in my throat. My mouth opened, but no words came out. The scream still echoed in my ears, a chilling testament to Rhea’s sudden, horrifying peril. I could only shake my head, a profound, gut-wrenching dread washing over me.“She… she was… they… they found her…” I stammered, the words barely coherent, “There was a crash… a killer… and then… she screamed, Laziel. She screamed.” The last word was a whisper, laced with an agony I hadn’t known myself capable of.Laziel’s grip on my shoulders tightened, his knuckles white. His face, usually so composed, was contorted with a mixture of shock and fury, “Who found her? Who are ‘they’?! What did she say
