Chapter 75

Alaric's Pov

Marcus frowned but didn’t speak.

“I need you to do this for me.” I continued, “Not because she’s my fiancée. But because she’s mine. And I’ll be damned before I let any of my enemies lay a finger on her while I’m too busy fighting ghosts and power games.”

His jaw clenched, “You don’t trust anyone else for this?”

“No one else is good enough.” I said, “You’re the best I’ve got, Marcus. And if anyone can keep her safe, it’s you.”

He looked down, hands balled into fists at his sides, “I’ve bled with you, Master Alaric. Buried bodies with you. Lied, fought, and survived beside you. Leaving you feels very wrong.”

“I know.” I said quietly, “But this is how you protect me now. Not with bullets or fists. With vigilance. With silence.”

Another long pause. Then finally, he exhaled, sharp and resigned.

“When do I start?”

A tight smile curled my lips, “Immediately.”

“I’ll need her schedule.”

“You’ll have it within the hour. I’ve arranged a rotation of decoys, but you’re to

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 77

    Chapter 77 Rhea's Pov “Who are you? What do you want with me? Who sent you here?” I fired the questions out like bullets, my voice low but sharp. I kept my posture still, but my fingers curled against the cold metal of the wheelchair, needing something to anchor myself to.The man behind me chuckled, dark and lazy, like this was all just some amusing little game to him, “Tch. I thought you'd fall to the ground crying. Maybe crawl into the corner and beg me not to hurt you. But instead…” He paused, and I felt the shift in his presence, like he tilted his head to inspect me, “You’re standing. Asking questions. No trembling. Brave little Rhea.”I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice from cracking, “Bravery has nothing to do with it. You have a gun to my back. That makes you a coward.”Another laugh. This one deeper, “Oh, I like you. I see why he does too.” He let out a soft sigh, one that pricked my skin, “As for who sent me… you’ll know soon enough. Very soon.”Before I could speak

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 76

    Chapter 76 Rhea's Pov “Why does he want to see me?” I questioned myself as I took out a dress from my closet, walking slowly to the hoge dressing mirror I had bought a few hours ago. Holding the dress to my body, I smiled, liking how it looked like it was going to hug my curves. “Would he like this? Or is it too revealing?” I murmured, my heart doing a slight flip but then I caught myself and gasped, “What the hell am I thinking? Why do I care if he likes the dress or not?” I shook my head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts flashing about in my head. “But… He's my fiancé, why can't I dress up to meet him? Also, I'm dressing up for myself, because I want to look pretty and it's not for other people.” I settled on that reason despite knowing that deep down, that wasn't it at all. Why was I trying to deny that I was attracted to him anyway? I thought. It's only normal to be physically attracted to someone who is as handsome as Alaric Vale. That man oozed masculinity and aura,

    Chapter 74 Alaric's Pov “Release him?” Nathan repeated, “Alaric, I don't know what you're trying to do but releasing that guy would be…” “Exactly. You don't know my plan and right now, since we haven't been able to find out who the mole is, it's better for only one person to know what the plan is, which is me. I'll keep whatever I'm thinking to myself for now so you just have to listen to what I say. Release that guy, he'll reel in the mastermind on his own without us moving a finger.” I explained to Nathan who although he still looked very confused, he didn't argue with me and just nodded his head. “Then after we release him, what do we do? Keep an eye on him?” “No. Leave him be. I'll deal with that guy myself. Though I have a job that only you can help me with.” I handed Nathan a small white padded letter which he opened. Once he did, his eyes widened with shock and he raised his head up to stare at me, silently asking if what he read was true. “Yes. The last place

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 73

    Chapter 73 Alaric's Pov Marcus had come from a long line of gamblers. His great grandfather was a gambler, his grandfather was a gambler, his father was a gambler, his mother and grandmother were also gamblers so it's no wonder that Marcus fell into gambling as well. Due to his addiction, he had gambled away his family house,.his furniture and even himself. I had found him years ago while he was in a cage, treated like livestock and meant to fight like a wolf under people's scrutiny and entertainment. The owner of the arena was someone I was chasing after without my father's knowledge so I needed someone who knew insider information and had nothing left to lose. Marcus was perfect.I still remember the first time I saw him, caged, shirtless, bloody knuckles and bruises blooming across his chest like badges of survival. There was no fight left in his eyes then, just a hollow stare. But I saw something in him. Something no one else cared to notice.Potential.I bought his freedom wit

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 72

    Chapter 72 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
