CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 79
Chapter 79 Rhea's Pov I am hyperventilating now. I knew that I recognised the ring but the way I had no idea where I had seen it was making me panic. If someone who killed people and did dirty work was targeting me, then it was for what reason?! I don't understand! “Rhea… Rhea, calm down, okay? First, let's get you out of here. Can you walk? Should I carry you upstairs?” “N… No. I can walk. Why?” I glanced up at him. “I'm taking you out of here, you'll be living with me from now on. I already bought an apartment earlier, when you said you didn't want to stay here any longer but I didn't have the chance to take you there. Now that the person targeting you already knows this place, you'll continue to be in danger if you stay here. So what you're going to do now is to take your clothes, anything that you can pack and let's put them in the car so we can leave. Okay?”I looked up at Alaric, still trying to make sense of everything. My breath was shallow, my chest rising and falling wi

Chapter 78 Rhea's Pov Hours passed, but it felt like days. My body still buzzed with tension, like a thousand invisible threads stretched taut under my skin, ready to snap at the smallest tug. I kept pacing the room, checking the windows again and again, locking them twice, sometimes three times, even though I knew they were already secured. I had pulled down every curtain, turned on every light. The entire house was very warm but I could not stop shivering. I kept glancing at the drawing on the desk, the ring, the strange serpent eating its own tail, the eerie runes around it. It was haunting me and no matter how much I tried to remember, nothing came.I must’ve checked the front of the house a dozen times. Still no one. Still no sign of him.My phone was gone. My only way to contact the outside world. My laptop was working, but the Wi-Fi suddenly refused to connect. It was like someone had deliberately cut me off.I hugged myself, my nails digging into my arms, muttering silent p

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

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 75Alaric'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

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
