CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 263
Rhea's Pov The glass doors slid open with a faint hiss, and immediately, a group of uniformed officers stepped out as if they had been waiting. Their gazes flicked between me and Alaric, their expressions a mixture of respect and curiosity. “Mr. Vale, Miss Thorne.” One of them greeted formally, bowing his head slightly, “We’ve been expecting you.” “You can just call me Rhea, not Miss Thorne.” I instructed, my voice hard. “Okay, Miss Rhea.” The police men in front of us chorused. Alaric’s hand slid against the small of my back, guiding me forward with that subtle but commanding air he always carried, “Rhea wants to see Ava and Truce.” His voice left no room for argument. The officer hesitated only for a fraction of a second before nodding quickly, “Of course. Right this way.” The hallways smelled faintly of disinfectant and paper. My heart thudded louder with every step, not out of fear, but out of the sharp, simmering anticipation twisting in my chest. The officer led us to

Rhea's Pov Fiona froze, her lips parting, eyes widening just slightly as if she hadn’t expected that answer.I smirked faintly, shrugging. “I’m not interested in playing the role of your master, Fiona. Just… make sure you don’t waste the second chance you’ve been given. That’s all I ask.”For a moment, silence lingered. Then, slowly, Fiona’s shoulders loosened, her stiff posture softening. She bowed her head, not in defeat, but in something close to respect.“Understood.” She said quietly.Alaric’s hand pressed against my back, his thumb drawing lazy circles as he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, “That’s my Rhea. Always sharper, always braver than the rest of them.”I rolled my eyes lightly, but I couldn’t stop the tiny smile tugging at the corner of my lips. Alaric’s hand was still resting on my back, steady and grounding, when the sharp noise of his phone cut through the quiet. His brows lifted, and with one last squeeze against my shoulder, he reached into his pocket and

Rhea's Pov Alaric chuckled at my words, his eyes glinting with amusement, “Babying you?” He repeated, lowering himself so that we were face-to-face. Before I could retort, his lips brushed against mine, soft but deliberate, a tease that sent a shiver through me. My eyes widened, but his gaze was calm, steady, like he’d just decided this was the most natural thing in the world.“Just indulge me okay?” He whispered against my lips, the corner of his mouth curving upward.I huffed, slapping his chest playfully but then I shrugged and climbed straight into his embrace. His arms tightened around me instantly, his warmth sinking into me.“Fine.” I murmured, resting my cheek against his chest, “I’ll indulge you.”For a moment, silence stretched between us, his heartbeat steady beneath my ear. But the words I had been holding back pressed against my tongue, clawing their way out.“I found out something today.” I said quietly, almost too calmly for what I was about to confess.Alaric hummed,

Rhea's Pov Jason’s eyes widened, his whole body jerking at my words, “What?” His voice cracked, disbelief flickering across his face, “Human trafficking? Rhea, what are you talking about? I need you to explain this to me now!”I leaned back in my wheelchair, calm and unbothered. My smile didn’t falter, “Why should I?”Jason stepped forward, fists clenching harder, “Because you can’t just throw something like that and not explain! If you know something, then say it clearly. Don’t play games with me, Rhea.”I shook my head slowly, my smirk sharp, “No, Jason. If you want to know the truth so badly, then ask Howard yourself. The answers you want, they’re with him. Not me.”His brows pulled together, anger flashing in his eyes, “You expect me to just accept that?”“Yes.” My voice was steady, cold, “Because no matter how much you pressure me, the truth will reveal itself soon. I don’t even need to say a word. Before long, the whole world will know what Howard Thorne really is.”Jason’s nos

Rhea's Pov I didn't stay a second longer in Ginny's ward. Since I already heard everything that needed to be heard, and coupled with the fact that I didn't want to be here for Howard's outburst, I just had to leave. I motioned to Fiona, asking her to push me out. We left unnoticeably, or so I thought because the moment we almost got to my own ward, Jason's voice stopped us. “Rhea!” Jason yelled, his voice echoing in the corridors, “Where are you going? We aren't done speaking.” I inwardly sighed, the throbbing in my head coming back. I raised my head and met Fiona's eyes, “You can push me around so I'll talk to him.” I murmured to her. Seconds later, I was facing Jason, and I stared at him without saying a word. But he couldn't take the silence. “I'm talking to you.” “And I am not obliged to give you an answer. I stopped, doesn't mean I have to entertain your words.” He stepped forward, about to say something but before he could I interrupted him, “By the way, why are you here w

Rhea's Pov “Overheard it? Of course I did. If I didn't, how would I have been able to know that Rhea wasn't Howard's biological daughter?” Ginny snickered, her eyes turning to me, “Oh Rhea, I've kept this secret all these years, hoping to use it against you in the future but you just had to make me use it against you now. What a good plan you concocted there! Now do you see who the real daughter is?! You had revealed the fact that my mother was a servant but what about you? Your father came from the dirtiest place!” Ginny howled in laughter, pure bliss in her tone. I glanced at Howard, my lips pressed into a tight frown. He hadn't said anything yet. “Miss, what should we do now? Since Ginny is really telling the truth, then there will be lots of issues.” Fiona whispered. I let out a soft laugh, cold and sharp, cutting through Fiona’s whisper, “Issues?” I repeated, my lips curving faintly though my chest felt like it was being clawed apart, “If this causes issues big enough for How
