Darla's POV

Xavier raised an eyebrow and looked at me, his lips twisting into a small, mocking smile. "I'm surprised that you'd even consider that this is a date, of the romantic variety."

I gazed at him. "I'm not thinking about it," I told him. "I am merely asking a question."

He glanced down the road in front of him. "Well, don't you worry. I am not going to do anything that you don't want."

I cocked an eyebrow. "And how do you know what I do and do not want?"

A tiny smile seemed to appear on his lips. "You're not hard to read."

I kept quiet. I knew that he was flirting with me, indirectly, sort of helplessly, but tightly enough that I could feel the tug in his words.

And I knew that if I continued to question him, he'd just turn them back on me.

So I sat silently, observing the whizzing lights through the window.

The vehicle slowed and eventually came to a halt on an empty street.

A golden warm light emanated from a restaurant in the distance, its letters intact in gold. It was ex

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   Epilogue

    Darla's POVI watched everything unfold from a distance, quietly observing the chaos and the resolutions that followed. Richard had shocked everyone by marrying Mandy. Melanin had begged, cried, and tried everything to sway him, but he had pushed her away without a second glance, choosing Mandy and making it clear that there was no turning back. It stunned everyone,friends, family, even those who thought they knew him well. His calm, decisive choice left no room for second-guessing, and in a way, it felt like the closing of a painful chapter for everyone involved.Melanin, on the other hand, was a broken figure amidst the wreckage of her own making. She had gone back to Sam, thinking that perhaps he could be a refuge, someone to cling to for comfort or validation, but Sam’s response was colder than she had expected. He rejected her bluntly, stating that there was nothing left in her that he could respect, love, or even tolerate. That rejection hit her harder than any scandal or

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   My Decision

    Richard's POVThe hotel was quiet, discreet, exactly the kind of place no one would look twice at. I checked in, got the key, and went up to the room. Once inside, I loosened my tie and sat on the edge of the bed, my elbows resting on my knees.Everything felt like it was closing in.Too many names. Too many lies.I hadn’t even finished processing my conversation with Xavier when Mandy’s name lit up my screen again.I’m here.Less than a minute later, there was a soft knock on the door.I opened it to find Mandy standing there, dressed simply, her expression serious. No seductive smile. No playful glint in her eyes. Whatever she had come to say wasn’t about pleasure.I stepped aside to let her in.As soon as the door closed, I asked, “What’s happening?”She didn’t sit immediately. She paced once, then stopped and looked at me. “Darla knows.”I stiffened slightly. “Knows what?”“That Melanie is sleeping with Sam.”I let out a slow breath. “I figured.”She blinked. “You did?”“Xavier

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   New Plan

    Richard’s POVThe glass was cold against my palm, the amber liquid inside barely moving as Vincent talked. We were seated at his private lounge, the lights dim, the kind of place where secrets felt lighter once alcohol got involved.“So,” Vincent said casually, swirling his drink. “How’s Mandy?”I didn’t answer immediately. I took a slow sip instead, letting the burn trail down my throat. My mind flashed, skin, heat, the quiet danger of her presence under my roof while Melanie slept upstairs.“To be honest?” I finally said.Vincent smirked. “I wouldn’t ask otherwise.”“She’s… great,” I admitted. “On the bed.”He raised an eyebrow. “Better than Melanie?”I laughed under my breath, shaking my head slightly. “Much better.”Vincent let out a low whistle. “Damn.”“She’s uncomplicated,” I continued, staring into my glass. “No pretending. No emotional chess. Just… release.”“And Melanie?” he asked.I clenched my jaw. “Melanie is… history I haven’t finished closing yet.”Vincent leaned back

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   My Worse Fears

    Melanie’s POVI stood there long after Darla walked out, staring at the door like it might open again and tell me this was all some twisted joke.Sleeping with Sam.The words echoed in my head, sharp and poisonous.My heart was racing so hard it felt like it was trying to escape my chest. I lifted a hand to my throat, swallowing, forcing myself to breathe. I had laughed it off in front of her. I had acted calm, amused, superior.But inside?Inside, panic was clawing its way up my spine.“How did she know?” I whispered to myself.I turned sharply. “Everyone out.”The room went quiet.One of the guys frowned. “What?”“The party is over,” I snapped. “Now.”They didn’t argue. One by one, they grabbed their things, murmured awkward goodbyes, and filtered out of the house. In less than five minutes, the space felt too big, too empty.Too loud with my thoughts.I slammed the door shut and leaned against it, chest heaving.Mandy was still there, standing awkwardly by the couch, her brows dra

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   Clap-Back

    Darla’s POVThe house Mandy sent me the address to was nothing like what I expected.It wasn’t loud. No blasting music. No drunken chaos spilling into the street. Just a quiet, well-furnished duplex tucked away in a gated area, the kind of place people used when they didn’t want to be noticed.Interesting.I parked, took a steadying breath, and stepped out of the car.By the time I knocked, the door opened almost immediately. Mandy stood there, glass in hand, surprise flickering briefly across her face before she masked it with a smile.“You’re early,” she said.“I said within an hour,” I replied lightly. “This counts.”She stepped aside to let me in.Inside, there were a few people scattered around, two men on the couch talking quietly, a woman leaning against the counter scrolling through her phone. Laughter drifted from somewhere deeper in the house. The atmosphere felt… contained. Controlled. Like everyone here knew discretion was part of the deal.And then I saw her. Melanie.

  • DARLA FIN:THE HEIRESS'S WICKED REBIRTH   Unbelievable

    Darla's POV“So all this time,” I said, more to myself than to him, “she was hiding behind Richard… judging everyone else.”“I didn’t want to tell you like this,” Xavier said. “But you deserved to know. Especially since Sam’s name keeps coming up around you.”I closed my eyes briefly. The irony was bitter. I had been fighting to prove I was innocent of something that had never existed, while the real affair was happening right under everyone’s nose.“I didn’t expect this,” I admitted. “Not at all.”“I know,” he said softly.There was a moment of silence between us, different from the tense silence in the car earlier. This one felt heavy, thoughtful.“So now you know,” he continued. “That’s the full story.”I let out a slow breath. “Thank you for telling me.”“I’m not saying this to win an argument,” he said quickly. “Or to justify what I did. I know I went about it the wrong way.”I didn’t answer immediately. My emotions were too tangled for quick responses.“I need time,” I said fin
