CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 81
Chapter 81 Rhea's Pov “Oh my god… What smells so good.” I groaned, sniffing the air as I walked downstairs. It smelled heavenly. Something savory and warm, with hints of garlic and herbs and butter. My stomach growled instantly, the hunger I’d forgotten I had roaring back with full force. I turned the corner and peeked into the open kitchen.Alaric stood at the stove, wearing a simple black t-shirt and joggers, his sleeves pushed up as he stirred something in a pan. The lights overhead cast a soft golden hue on his hair, making him look almost too good to be real.He must’ve sensed me, because he glanced over his shoulder and smiled, “Hey, you're just in time.”“What is that smell?” I asked, stepping closer like I was under a spell.“Creamy garlic chicken.” He said, “With mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans.”My eyes widened, “You made all that? By yourself?”He chuckled, “I’m not completely useless, Rhea. I'm actually a registered chef so Madam, rest assured that you will enjo
CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Rhea's Pov My eyes narrowed slightly, “My bodyguard?” “Yes. You don't want one?” Alaric stared at me, his eyes were daring me to refuse and I smiled shakily. “After what just happened, I don't think I should resist getting one.” My hands were still trembling, I hadn't been able to get it to stop. I turned to the silent man and stretched my hands out for a handshake, “Hello Marcus, my name is Rhea. It's nice to meet you.” For a second, it was quiet. Marcus didn't move, he was only staring at me. Then just as I was about to pull my hands back, he gripped them tightly and then let go. “Pleased to meet your acquaintance.” He murmured, when glanced at Alaric, “I'll be outside.” Then he walked out. “He doesn't like me much, does he?” I muttered to Alaric who shook his head. “He acts like that to every new person that is introduced to him but don't worry, he'll warm up to you soon enough. Though his only job here is to protect you.” “Despite that, I would still like to be
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
CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again! Chapter 78
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
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,
