Rhea's POV

Ginny was glowing.

Like, she was literally glowing. It was like there was a halo behind her head, shining over my eyes. She must have had a good time yesterday.

The moment our eyes met, she beamed at me, “Rhea! You're back!”

She hugged my arms tightly, her fake sweetness bursting like syrup, she was about to say something when my mother suddenly stomped towards me like a hurricane.

“Where have you been?!” She screamed, her voice high and shrill. All heads in the living room turned toward us.

The maids stiffened. The butler lowered his head awkwardly.

Even Ginny recoiled a little, stepping back with an innocent blink.

“I asked you a question, Rhea!” My mother’s voice cracked.

Before I could even part my lips, she slapped me.

Hard. The sound echoed through the room, leaving a painful sting across my cheek. I staggered back a step but didn’t fall.

“Mom…” Ginny said timidly, trying to intervene.

But my mother wasn’t done.

“You slut!” She spat, pointing a shakin

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 364

    Rhea's Pov I stared at the mirror, at my reflection. I had smoky eyes, faint shimmer, lips tinted a deep, wine red. The woman staring back at me looked nothing like the one who was walking barefooted a few hours ago. “Alright, darling.” The stylist said, dusting off her hands, “Now that we've found THE make-up look, go take a bath. Let your skin breathe for a moment. Then we begin the real magic, the wardrobe.”I stood, smiling at Neveah, “Be good while I’m gone, okay?”“Yes, Mommy!” She said cheerfully, still admiring her sparkly reflection.I went to the bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water cascaded down, washing away the faint traces of powder and foundation. The scent of sandalwood lingered faintly on my skin, subtle, but powerful. When I stepped out, I felt lighter, more awake, more me.I wrapped a soft bathrobe around myself and returned to the main room, steam still curling around my hair. The stylist was waiting, and so were the dresses.They were laid out like

    Rhea's Pov The red-haired woman, the stylist, apparently, was smiling brightly, completely unbothered by how much she’d just scared me.“Sorry, darling.” She said, though her grin said otherwise, “I just had to see for myself. Such a lovely frame! Slender build, graceful neck, perfect posture, oh, we can work with this!”“Uh… thank you?” I managed, still a bit startled.She clapped her hands, eyes sparkling, “Oh, I can already tell! You’re going to be my favorite client this week. Now, let’s get started before the light changes. Sit, sit!”She practically pushed me into the vanity chair.The mirror in front of me was so large I could see the whole room reflected in it, the flurry of motion, the steaming cups of tea Isla had left behind, the bed now empty without the children.The stylist leaned over my shoulder, examining my reflection like a scientist studying something rare, “Your skin is beautiful.” She said, tilting her head, “A bit tan, yes, but smooth. Natural glow. We’ll keep

    Rhea's Pov The first thing I heard was knocking, it was soft at first. Then louder, and louder again.I buried my face deeper into the pillow and groaned. For a few seconds, I tried to ignore it. The bed was warm, soft, and it actually smelled clean, faintly of lavender and something expensive. The kind of smell that made me want to stay wrapped up in it forever.Knock. Knock. Knock.“Ugh…” I muttered into the pillow.I turned over and sat up, rubbing at my eyes. My whole body felt heavy, but not the bad kind of heavy, just the kind that comes from finally resting after too many nights of sleeplessness.“Who is it?” I called out, voice still half-asleep.There was no answer. I swung my legs off the bed and walked slowly towards the door where the knocking continued. Sighing, I opened the door and the next thing I knew, the door swung open and at least five people burst in at once.I blinked hard because for a second, I honestly thought I was dreaming.There were hangers everywhere. D

    Rhea's Pov My fingers twitched, and I almost threw the entire contract folder back across the desk in shock."Is this... a joke?" I choked out.Carmen didn't even flinch. She leaned back in her chair, looking completely unfazed by my reaction.“Hardly.” She replied, her voice smooth and even, “I don’t joke about money, Rhea. Not when it comes to business. That amount is your starting bonus. A signal of my good faith and a down payment for the work I know you are capable of.”I stared at the number, my mind doing dizzying flips. Ten million dollars. It was a lot, especially because of my situation right now. To have this kind of money as merely a ‘down payment’ was something that I didn't really expect. Not at all. “But… Why so much?” I whispered, trying to wrap my head around the sheer scale of the offer, “It’s… it’s huge.”“Because you are valuable.” Carmen stated simply, like it was the most obvious thing in the world, “I did my homework on you, Rhea. You are the best at what you

    Rhea's Pov“When you say, ‘rival the Montaigne’, what exactly do you mean by that?” I questioned.“Oh.” Carmen let out a small laugh, “I mean it literally. You might not know this, but my background is not little at all. I come from a long line of people who are related to the president of Imperial City.”“Huh?!” I gasped, then promptly covered my mouth with my hands. I didn't mean to interrupt but I was too shocked not to, “I… I'm sorry I…”“No, it's fine. Not a lot of people know this since I haven't appeared in public for a long time. I'm sure people think that the Heiress of the Valerius Family has disappeared entirely.” Carmen finished with a knowing smirk.My heart hammered against my ribs. “V… Valarius? Wait,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper, “The… the heiress you’re talking about. Is it… is it you?” I had to clutch the edge of the sleek, expensive desk to keep from pitching forward. My legs felt like rubber, and the blood had rushed from my face.Carmen’s smirk widened

    Rhea's Pov Should I tell her? Should I not? Currently, I need all the help I can get. “If you don't want to say…” “No. It's fine. It's not going to be hidden for long anyways. Actually, we had an accident and we were all taken to the hospital. Neveah, Laziel and I are fine, same with my husband, Alaric. However, he lost his memories, he can't remember anything about me, or the children. I don't know the extent of his memory loss but I know that it's pretty bad.” I explained, pinching myself to keep the tears from spilling again. “If it was only the memory loss, I would have found a way but… Isabelle Montaigne, a woman who is in love with him and also his secretary has claimed that she is his fiancée and I am a stalker who wants to claim a relationship with him. No matter what I say, Alaric doesn't believe me. I want to believe so badly that Alaric wouldn't do anything to hurt me but at this point, I'm not even sure.” Carmen’s eyes widened, and she gasped softly, pressing a hand t
