JUST ENOUGH TO BLEED

ผู้เขียน: Grace Pearl
last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-08-05 14:42:33

POV: KAIA (ALINA)

It starts with the second leak.

No headlines. No hashtags. Just a quiet drip—strategic, venomous, and perfectly timed. A two-minute clip shot from across a marina in Monaco. Elena, on a yacht, surrounded by three twenty-something men who look like they model for fragrances they can’t pronounce. Champagne in her hand. Laughing. Tossing her heels into the sea. One of the boys grabs her waist. She lets him. The other slips something into her mouth. She swallows it without asking what it is.

There's no voiceover, no context. Just footage.

I watch it alone from my laptop, sitting in the far corner of Ashen’s private floor. Vivian’s out doing her song and dance for a Cross-adjacent firm that’s getting slaughtered in a merger we orchestrated. She doesn’t need to see this part. This one's mine.

It uploads through a shell media outlet I own through five levels of misdirection. Just like the last leak.

The comments start flooding in within minutes.

“How old is she again?”

  • HEIRESS REBORN   SHADOW MATH

    SASHA POVI swear it is purely research.Just to understand what I am facing now I am not looking into Kaia. Not really.Those are the words I tell myself that again and again, like a mantra as I sit in the dark, lit only by the glow of my monitor, legs tucked under me, Nathaniel’s empty whiskey glass still sitting on the corner of the desk. He passed out hours ago, too many drinks, too many mood swings.I guess finding out that his savior company has abandoned him and not telling him for that matter would make anyone go crazy In a rage he had called and yelled at Elena, calling her an embarrassment and a whore, the very bane to his existence. Of course, Elena had given it back to him, calling him weak with a victim mentality and a disappointment.Pissed, he had slammed the phone across the wall, muttered something about betrayal, then crashed on the sofa like he wasn’t the one unraveling.I told him I would handle it. The board, the optics, the Ashen leaks. And I did. I am his assi

  • HEIRESS REBORN   SMOKE SIGNALS

    POV: SASHAThis boardroom smells like desperation dressed in expensive cologne. No one is saying it, but I can feel it in the way they shift in their seats, click pens, scroll phones like the stock price might rise if they blink hard enough.I am sitting at the end of the long glass table, palms sweating under the surface, pretending I am calm when I am anything but that. Representing Nathaniel and his mother. His goddamn mother. Because neither of them is fit to be here. Nathaniel’s spiraling again, paranoid and distracted, and Elena’s holed up in her townhouse pretending she is still queen of something.That damn woman.I mean… I knew she had a freaky side, everyone does. And I am not even against her dating someone younger than her, hell I would too if they knew how to handle me.But from the videos that has been leaking about her, numerous boys at one, popping pills, unknown ones, ecstasy pills, going on yacht parties when she has said she was on businss… I mean it is insane and c

  • HEIRESS REBORN   THE GHOST I BURIED

    POV: ALINA/KAIAIt’s past midnight when I send the tip.Anonymous. Encrypted. Routed through three dummy servers and a throwaway server Theo spun up from a safehouse two years ago. I attach a grainy CCTV shot of a woman who looks just enough like me—same height, same long hair, same walk—and feed the lie straight into Kade’s inbox.Subject: URGENT — Alina Rivers ID used in Panama scamMessage: Woman using this alias. Operating offshore. Identity fraud. Multiple accounts flagged.That’s it. No explanation. No signature. Just a breadcrumb.I watch the cursor hover over SEND for a second too long, then click it.Gone.A full minute passes before I breathe.It’s not just the lie. It’s the version of me I built to make it real. Panama. New name. Fake social. Burned records. It’s the most dangerous thing I’ve done in months. But if Kade gets close enough to sniff the ashes of my old life, he needs to find something that smells wrong. Something toxic. Something he won’t want to touch.Let hi

  • HEIRESS REBORN   STAGECRAFT

    POV: NINA RHODESThe second I see the fourth post go dark, I know I’ve kicked the wrong hornet’s nest. Again.I’m sitting in my kitchen, sweatpants, hoodie, half-eaten grilled cheese in front of me. My laptop screen flashes red, site offline. My backup mirror’s gone. The one I built after the first takedown, buried under layers of VPNs, encrypted relays, a bullshit URL that doesn’t even have my name on it. And they still found it.That’s not an algorithm glitch. That’s someone hunting me.I stare at the error code for a full minute before slamming the laptop shut. My hands are shaking, which pisses me off more than it scares me.I wasn’t scared until ten minutes ago.I thought I was being clever. Digging into Officer Griggs was risky, yeah, but I’ve done worse. I didn’t expect the fallout to hit this fast. Or this personal.Then my phone rings.It’s my sister.I don’t even get a hello. Just, “Nina… what the hell did you post?”“What do you mean?”“I got called into a meeting. They sai

  • HEIRESS REBORN    NULL PROOF

    POV: NATHANIELThey think they can corner me.They think if they leak enough, stir the water long enough, I’ll slip. Panic. Run. Confess. Break.They don’t know me.I sit behind my desk, the lights low, blinds drawn, the weight of silence pressing in around me. I like the quiet when it’s like this — thick with threat, humming with tension.Across from me, Jasper drops the dossier with too much noise. I don’t even look at him.“Go,” I say.He nods and walks out without another word. Smart. Knows not to linger when my jaw is set like this.I flip the file open.Nina Rhodes’s article is the first thing I see. Printed in red ink. Underlined: "The Ghost CEO: Who’s Really Running Ashen?"Then Kaia’s face. A surveillance shot from a gala two weeks ago. Close-up. Angled. The kind of photo meant to unsettle.Underneath that—Kade’s reopened case notes. A body that was never recovered. A death certificate without a signature. A grave dug up and empty, declared “tampered with.”Then there’s the w
