Alaric's POV

It was dark. Really dark. I could barely see a thing. I walked and walked and walked until I finally saw a light. But running towards the light proved to be futile because no matter what I did, the harder I tried to run towards it, the further it moved away from me. At the end of it, it had disappeared and I was completely engulfed in darkness. I stood still, my body trembling as I tried to figure out what was happening and where I was when someone suddenly passed me, their scent filling up my nose and taking control of all my senses. Without thinking, I reached out and held whatever bypassed me even though I couldn't see it and the scene instantly changed.

I was now on a road rather than the absolute darkness I was in, I recognised the road. It was where Rhea had always passed whenever she was rushing to work. My company was right on that road, I glanced up and sure enough, where I had stood, watching her was there.

I smiled, “Well, liking her did bring me out of th

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 190

    Ginny's Pov “You’ll regret this, Ginny.” She spat, slowly rising to her feet, she was humiliated and her entire body was shaking violently, “One day, you’ll fall, and no one will be there to help you.”I smirked.“Coming from you, a person who shouldn't even be present on the face of this earth.” I said coldly, “You and your failure of a son should’ve stayed in the gutter where you belong. What a joke!” I spat on the ground and scowled, then I turned around to walk away. But the second I turned my back to head inside, I heard a growl of rage come from her and suddenly…“You ungrateful, rotten whore!” Mrs. Henderson’s voice exploded behind me, venom lacing every syllable, “You think you're better than us now, don’t you? Just because you open your legs to anyone who has power?! Everyone knows how you slept your way up! You filthy, two-faced, heartless slut!”I froze. My fingers curled slowly into fists as the air went silent, the kind of silence that comes before a storm. I turned on m

    Ginny's Pov “What?” Mrs Henderson gaped at me like she had seen a meteor suddenly fall down from space and create a black hole in front of her. “Are you hard of hearing?” I questioned again, this time, leaning forward a bit, “I told you times without number not to bother me again, why don't you listen, Mrs Henderson? Why do you think that I would be willing to help your stupid little family? Do you think I'm as nice as Rhea? You were able to deceive Rhea into giving you that house and now that she has taken the house back, you're trying to latch onto someone whom you can never dream of reaching? Just how shameless can you get?” I said slowly, staring at Mrs Henderson in disgust. Now that I can see her clearly, she has changed. The Mrs Henderson of the past was plump and fair, she was soft and white too. Due to all the good food she had been eating as well as the money that Rhea had been spending on them, they had been living a good life. However, after they were evicted and Kevin l

    Ginny's Pov “Dad, do you think Rhea is planning something?” I asked, looking up at Howard who was also deep in thought. I was happy that Rhea was finally giving me the company without further ado but I thought that when we pressured her to give over the company, she would blow up and yell at us. After all, the first thing we did when we got to the hospital was to ask her for ownership of the company, and not how she was feeling. Not that I cared anyways, she would have been better off dead. If only Briovic had finished the job back then. Up until now, I hadn't heard from Briovic nor do I know who saved her. It was three days after she was brought to the hospital that we knew Rhea was in a coma. But thankfully, I don't think any of them knows that I was the one who asked Briovic to get rid of Rhea. If they did… Rhea would never give me the company for sure. And Alaric also would not let her. So I was safe for now. But for some reason, my mind wasn't settled at all, it felt like a

    Rhea's Pov I laughed at her slight teasing but I was still a bit serious, “Of course I have.” I replied, standing and moving to the window. I looked out at the city, its noise, its chaos and its brutal honesty, “I’ve had too much time on my hands to just sit and do nothing. And I’ve learned the hard way, when something’s crumbling, you don’t hold on. You build something stronger, something you can control from the beginning.”Fiona folded her arms, eyes flicking to the company name on her screen again, “You said the family is in debt. Do you think they’ll agree to sell?”“They won’t just agree.” I said, my voice calm but sure, “They’ll want to sell. What they need now is a clean exit and dignity. I can give them both. They don't have any choice as they can't hold on to the company anymore. Before their legacy completely disappears, it's better to transfer it over. We can also negotiate to give them a position in the company in which they would be able to watch over how it rises if th

    Rhea's Pov “It's an upcoming company Miss Ginny has a connection with. When I investigated the company, they had some illegal dealings and also had some sort of clash with the government over a few things. I don't know how they were able to manoeuvre their way around going to jail but they are still standing. However, it's only a matter of time before the law catches up to them. I tried to advise Miss Ginny and tell her not to sign the contract with them but no matter what I said, she took it as a jab to her authority and even wanted to fire me. Fortunately, a lot of the people in the company are still on your side so they helped me stay.” Fiona explained. Laughter bubbled up my throat and I let it out, “Ah… Ginny is such a fool.” I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, “Even without me pushing her, she's going to ruin the company all by herself. But… It'll be a problem if I don't take advantage of this issue, right?” Fiona furrowed her brows, then she tilted her head to t

    Rhea's Pov Laziel rushed out of the room while Alaric transferred me to the bed. He didn't even look embarrassed and neither did I. Why should we? It was perfectly normal to kiss your spouse. “Rhea, I'll give you both some space. Do you want anything to eat? I'll go get it for you.” Alaric called out my name. “I would kill for some fried turkey right now.” I salivated at the mere thought of eating turkey. That sweet goodness of a bird. Alaric chuckled once more and ruffled my hair, “I'll ask the doctor if you can eat some. I'll be back later.” I nodded as Alaric walked outside and closed the door behind him. After he left, it was silent. I stared at the woman in front of me, observing her. She looked smart, dressed smart too. She looked very familiar and the more I looked at her, the more I felt like I could trust her. “Laziel told me that you were my secretary.” I said, my voice quiet, my gaze still fixed on the woman standing near the door. “Is that true?” The woman nod
