It Lies In The Heart Chapter 18 ( The Gunshot that changed everything )
Shayla lifted her chin, a look of defiance crossing her eyes as she held Cassie's gaze, Tega firmly in her arms. The maid had just called the lady Cassie. She wondered who Cassie was and how important she was to the family. She looked at the trembling maid, then back at Cassie. The woman had a terrifying aura that made people around her squirm. But Shayla wasn't going to let herself become a victim or bow down. Cassie had started it by stomping her foot on poor Tega. The quiet, mocking smile never left Cassie's lips. She had seemed shocked for a second when the maid introduced Shayla as Warren Hart's wife earlier, and now she wore this smile.Cassie's mouth curved into something that wasn't quite a smile, her arms folded across her chest."Ooh! Miss Morgan, nice to meet you." A trace of sarcasm laced her voice. "I wasn't aware you were the contract wife."Shayla kept Tega pressed against her chest. His small body was still shaking, and every shallow breath he took made her own throat

"Tega!!!"Shayla's voice tore through the living room as she rushed forward. The lady standing there was dressed in a designer tailored shirt and matching palazzo trousers. A stylish cap rested on her head, eyeglasses sat neatly on her face, and her lips bloomed with a deep shade of red lipstick. She looked expensive. Beautiful, even. The kind of woman who walked into a room and expected the world to make space for her.Cassie froze for a second, her heeled foot still pressed against Tega's side. The three maids standing nearby looked terrified, none of them daring to move or speak.Shayla didn't think. She shoved past the nearest maid and dropped to her knees, both hands closing around Cassie's ankle. With a strength she never knew she had, she yanked the woman's foot back.Cassie stumbled, a sharp gasp escaping her as she caught herself against a side table."How dare you touch me!" Cassie snapped, whirling around, her eyes blazing.Shayla barely registered the words. Her entire foc

The door clicked shut behind him before she could draw a breath. She didn't move. She simply stared at the door, a cold reminder of the life she had signed a contract on. She released the blanket covering her, brought her knee to her face, then rested her chin on it. She had been deceived. She came expecting to marry a man everyone described as crippled, but the man who stood before her was nothing like the rumors. He was arrogant, cold, and full of himself. If he wasn't disabled, why impose a marriage on him? And why hadn't he discarded the false rumors about himself? He was a billionaire and it would only take a matter of seconds to put the false news to rest. A wave of nostalgia washed over her. Morgan had denied the contract marriage for this exact reason. She imagined the surprised look on Morgan's face when she found out the truth. Maybe her family could try to convince her to swap places again, but this time, she wasn't going to agree. Even though she had no idea how the Harts

Shayla's eyes flew open, but it was darkness. A heavy weight crushing her, breath fanning her neck. The smell of expensive cologne hit her nose, strong. Her eyebrow furrowed; wasn't this room meant to be hers? Who was in the room, and who was this person on top of her? She couldn't breathe or move, the smell of cologne pressing in around her. She guessed it was a male. Then Tega's pained cry shot through her ears, snapping her out of her thoughts. Adrenaline rushed as panic surged through her."What—" Shayla's voice broke off into a startled cry, her hand shoving uselessly against whoever had just collapsed on top of her.The weight. Warren froze. Beneath him, soft and warm, her rapid breathing unsteady. Then he slowly came off her, his hand found the switch on the wall, and light flooded the room.Shayla froze. The person standing before her was the man from the photograph. The man she'd admired a couple of hours ago. Only now he was a hundred times more handsome. Sharp jaw, cold gre

Shayla blinked, her eyebrow lifting as she stared at Mrs. Hart.Bought? The insult stung.Yes, she had been sold to the Hart family. But she was not a commodity. She didn't come here on her own — she was forced, threatened. She had survived every insult under Alice and her father's roof, but not anymore. Even if being thrown out meant freedom. Her parents would think she was still in the Hart mansion while she was somewhere else starting her life over.Her fingers tightened around Tega. "I wasn't aware your family was selling anyone," she replied quietly.Mrs. Hart's teacup stopped halfway to her lips. She clearly hadn't expected a comeback. Her expression faltered for a second before she quickly composed herself, returning to her cold face. Her gaze swept from Shayla's simple gown to her worn sneakers shoes even a maid in this house wouldn't wear then to the mask on her face."Morgan Wilson, owner of a famous fashion brand, came to her in-laws' home for the first time dressed in tha
It Lies In The Heart Chapter 13 ( The Hart's Mansion )
The atmosphere inside the boardroom was thick enough to choke on.Twenty high-level executives sat around the massive mahogany table, none of them daring to move. Warren Hart stood at the head of the table, his hands in his pockets, his stare sweeping over the room like a blade.His leather shoes clicked slowly against the polished floor as he walked behind their chairs. That sound alone was agony."I spent the morning reviewing our Q1 financial leaks," Warren began, his voice dangerously low. He stopped right behind a senior director whose face had gone completely pale. "It's fascinating how our bidding strategy for the Northside project found its way into the hands of our competitors. Wouldn't you agree, Director Richard?""M-Mr. Hart!" Richard stuttered, sweat rolling down his temple. "I assure you, my department has been working day and night—"Warren slammed a thick file down right in front of him. The loud thud made half the room flinch."Day and night transferring company funds
