Heiress's Desires And Deception (Flavors Of Riches Book 1) CHAPTER 9
“It’s… a constellation necklace?” I asked, confused as I stared at the delicate piece of a necklace resting in the box. Tiny stars connected by thin lines. It's shimmering. “Yeah,” he said softly. “It means… the stars aligned for us. Not just coincidence, but something destined. Like how shooting stars seem random but maybe they’re not.”He looked at me with that same sincerity again. His hand reached out to gently brush some of my hair aside, then tapped the top of my head like I was a kid.“You know a lot, huh?” I chuckled, trying to shake off the sudden warmth in my chest.“Actually… no,” he admitted while laughing lightly. “My mom gave me that necklace. But I want you to have it.”I blinked one after another in disbelief. Wait… what?“Your mom gave this to you?” My heart skipped. “Saelas, I… I can’t take this.” I stood up quickly and held the box out to him, trying to push it back into his hands. “That must be really precious. Maybe it was something she shared with your dad. A c

“Not everything is about you,” I snapped, rolling my eyes and turning my back on him.But then his voice stopped me. “Then tell me,” he said quietly, but firmly. “Why does it feel like what you heard affected you? When you found out I already had a fiancée? If it’s not about me… then why?”His words hit me like ice. I froze where I stood, unable to move, unable to answer, my chest tightening in ways I didn’t understand.Slowly, I turned back to face him, forcing myself to stay composed even though I could feel how deeply his words had affected me. “No woman would resist the man she wants,” I said evenly, “but no woman wants to be the second option either. I am the heiress and future head of the Sollivierre Corporation. The heir of the Luxmoore Corporation wants me—not as a second choice. So why would I ever settle for being somebody’s second option?”He didn’t answer. He simply stood there, staring at me, as if weighing my words or maybe waiting to see if I would break first.I turned

I was about to walk away when he held on to my arms to stop me from walking away.“Hello? Are you still there?” the woman from the other line asked.I look at him and forced to smil widely. I tried to assure him that I’m okay even though it’s not. Even though I am breaking inside.“I just want to rest.”“Hello?”“Go on. Talk to your mom first.”I took his hand off me and then turn away. As I shut the door close, my knees trembled and my body weaken, enugh for me to lose my balance and fell into the floor.“What have I done? It’s a total mess. I just had sex with a guy that already has a fiance. I just fucked another woman’s fiance.”"Can you please open the door?" he whispered from the other side. "Reina," he called again, but I still refused to answer.It feels wrong. I let my walls down for him, even when there was no real reason and no clear string tying us together. No certain direction of what we're doing. "Reina, please." His voice trembled. I could hear him leaning against the

I locked the door behind me. When I turned and our eyes met, a playful smile curved on my lips at his shocked expression."Reina, stop being childish," he said."Childish?" I echoed, tilting my head.I let go of his shirt and crossed my arms. I shoot him a sharp look.“What do you want?” I asked.“You just walked out and did not open the door. I think I’m the one who should ask you.”“You told me to do as I please. And I am pleased to sleep very well.”“Can you stop being sarcastic or be serious at least?”I rolled my eyes. "Then stop disturbing my sleep and go to your own room.”“How can I sleep if I know there is something that you’re not telling me?’“How can you say so?”“I just feel it.”“Look, if you did nothing wrong or you know that there is nothing, why would you be bothered by my reactions? maybe you did something, right?”“Ugh! he exclaimed, exhausted. “If there’s something I joked about that affects you, you shouldn’t have taken that seriously, okay? It’s not something a g

“Hey, wait for me!” I ran after him.He stood before the door and looked at his phone once more. That drives me crazy and even more curious. Irritated and confused, I went to him and asked, “What are you up to, now? Can you just tell me what exactly is going on?”He raised his index finger to cover my mouth. "There's someone at the front door earlier.”My brows stitched together. "What do you mean there is someone out there? That’s impossible, okay?" I demanded, my chest pounding so fast I didn’t even know why."What do you mean it’s impossible? There is someone out there earlier and I don’t know who, okay? Maybe it’s just your friend… or your family’s colleagues," Saelas said."Friends? I don’t have friends. And I don't want one." I crossed my arms."A colleague, then?"I shot him a sharp look. "It’s not like this is your first day on earth, professor. Can’t you see the house is surrounded by guards? No one can just walk in here.""Then who’s that?""I’m asking the same question," I

"Good morning." Saelas's voice was the first thing I heard when my eyes snapped open. I blinked up at him, his soft blur of a body coming into focus. He was leaning against the bed. There is a plate of food in his hand while wearing his teasing smile curled around his lips. "Wait… good morning? Did I oversleep?" I questioned, sitting up in bed. He smiled, putting the plate on the bedside table. "Can't blame you. You were too tired." His voice was tainted with mock teasing. That's when I remembered about my parents. I sprang up from bed. "Did they come already?" Instead of answering, he just chuckles. "What? They saw you? Did you tell them?" I asked one question after another. Saelas shook his head. "Not yet. They said they'll be out for a week. Have you forgotten?" His brows furrow in confusion. "A week?!" I exclaimed, raising my voice. He looked truly puzzled. "They didn't tell you?" "Tell me? Tell me what exactly?" I growled, scratching my head in annoyance. "They said t
