CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 211
Rhea's Pov My breath caught in my throat. I stared at him, trying to read his face, searching for even the tiniest sign that this was some elaborate joke.“You’re… Saying the truth?” My voice was barely a whisper, but the weight behind it could have knocked me over.Alaric leaned forward, his eyes never leaving mine. His hand rose slowly until his fingers caught a loose strand of my hair. He twirled it lazily around his finger, the motion oddly intimate despite the storm raging in my head.“Why would I lie about something like this?” He murmured, his tone low and steady, “You’re not the only one haunted by the past, Rhea. Every scar you carry, inside and out, I remember them all. I remember the way you fought, the way you refused to give up even when everything was falling apart. And I remember the day I lost you.”A memory flashed in my head. Alaric was crying in that memory, he was holding my bloody body, yelling at the skies with tears falling down his cheeks. I could hear the raw

Rhea's Pov "If you want to know," Alaric sighed, "Then you better sit tight because this is going to be a very long story." I nodded, listening attentively. Finally, I would bet an explanation for all those odd memories I was seeing. “Actually… This is the second life that you're living.” “Well, no shit. I just woke up from a coma,.of course it's like my second life.” I rolled my eyes. Was he going to start with that? I thought it was going to be something a bit more serious with how focused his expression was. I had actually expected him to chuckle or maybe ruffle my hair like he usually does. Not this time though. His facial expressions didn't change, instead, he became even more serious. He wasn't talking about my coma. “I… I don't understand what you mean by that. What exactly do you mean by ‘second life’?” I raised an eyebrow, speaking slowly, “Weren't you just speaking figuratively? Like talking about how I almost died and was given a second chance to live? It's

Rhea's Pov “This isn't good.” I mumbled, my heart racing slightly, “What about her parents? Do you think they know where she is?” “I don't know, but it's possible they also have no idea of Miss Ava's whereabouts. The last time I saw them, Miss Ava's mother was trying to act normally but I could see that she was unsettled. I decided to take matters into my own hands so I met up with Miss Ava's mother and her condition has deteriorated.” “Deteriorated? What do you mean by that?” “Paranoid. She was being paranoid, yelling about how she was being watched and how she's unsafe. Begging me to help her escape or she'll die, she was saying different kinds of things. I didn't understand but the more I thought about it, I realised that maybe they were being targeted by someone. It could be that Victor Grant was using them against Ava. I'm not really sure where to put all of my theories but I know that Victor Grant is in the middle of everything that's happening now.” Her words san

Rhea's Pov “Really?!” I echoed, flabbergasted. My heart was thumping now for a different reason, one I couldn’t quite name. Was it excitement? Suspicion? Dread for what I knew was to come?Fiona let out a tired sigh, “Yes. But it’s… complicated.”“What sort of revenge are we talking about here?” I asked, narrowing my eyes even though she couldn’t see me, “Are we talking legal action, corporate sabotage, or some blood feud where I’m supposed to show up in a red dress with a dagger?”There was a beat of silence, and then Fiona chuckled, but there was no humor in it, “Honestly, I wish it were that straightforward. But it’s better if you hear it from them directly. It's a family issue, and from what I gathered... it runs deep. Like, years of betrayal and buried secrets deep.”I exhaled slowly, leaning back into the pillows. My headache throbbed in time with my rising anxiety, “Family issues always are.” I muttered, mostly to myself.“Exactly ” Fiona confirmed, “They don’t trust easily. T

Rhea's Pov “Are you serious?!” I spluttered, my eyes wide. “Why not?” He shrugged, casually slipping his hand back around my waist and continuing to lead me down the hall as if he hadn’t just dropped a bomb in my lap, “We’re already living together. You sleep in my bed most nights. I know all your habits, except the ones you’re hiding from me, and you clearly like me.”“I am not…!”“Rhea.” He cut in, tilting his head to look at me with a lazy, satisfied smirk, “You literally just asked me to kiss you. What else do you need me to do? Put a ring on your finger before you admit it?”I opened my mouth, then promptly shut it, too flustered to argue. It was true that my heart had leapt into my throat at the mention of a wedding, but whether it was from fear or excitement, I couldn’t quite tell.Alaric leaned closer again, his breath brushing against my cheek, “No rush.” He murmured, “But I’m serious. I’ve wasted enough time watching from the sidelines while you struggled. I won’t do it an

Rhea's Pov “Rhea… Rhea no! Come back here! I'm finally back to you, you can't leave me alone here!” I heard his cries as Alaric led me out of the hospital room. “Let's take care of her discharge now, everything else will be done at home. I can't allow her to stay at this hospital any longer.” Alaric said to the doctor who nodded frantically. “This was our mistake, we’ll make sure that it won't happen again.” Alaric’s grip on my waist was gentle, but firm. I let him guide me through the hallway, the doctor rushing ahead to prepare the discharge papers. Kevin’s pitiful cries still echoed behind us, even as the door shut and his voice became a faint murmur in the distance. But I wasn't relieved yet, there was some unease that tugged at the back of my mind. I turned to Alaric, eyeing the man who had followed us from the room, the same one who’d stood quietly at the door while Kevin sobbed and begged. Alaric had said something to him right before the man nodded and walked back.I slowe
