Tricia’s POV

The ‘school over’ bell rang, sharp and everyone spilled out of class like they’d been held hostage all day. Bags slapped against backs, lockers banged open, and everyone rushed to disappear into their own lives.

And then there was Adrian, walking off like he had somewhere urgent to be even though he never went anywhere after school. At least, not lately.

For three days straight, he’d been acting off. Let's say cold and distant, like someone had unplugged the real him and replaced him with this blank, glitching version.

I’d asked him a hundred times if something was wrong but every single time, he dodged.

Today was already stressful with this so-called “French heiress” stealing the spotlight I worked months to build, so watching Adrian walk off like I was invisible only annoyed me more.

“Adrian?” I called but there was no response at first.

I tried again, louder this time. “Adrian!”

He finally turned like he just remembered I existed. “Oh—hey. Tricia.”

“‘Hey’? That’s it?”

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 60 — I hope my brothers didn’t hurt you.

    Gentle’s POVAfter everything that happened this evening at the event—Tricia’s meltdown, Yvonne’s words slicing through me like she knew exactly where I was weakest, and that final moment when her driver pulled away—I couldn’t breathe right. My chest felt full and empty at the same time.People say some things “weigh on your mind.”But hell no! as this one sat on my chest like a boulder.When I told my personal guard I’d “figure it out,” even I knew it was a lie. I didn’t know where to start and I didn’t know what I was looking for exactly. I just knew I needed somewhere… someone… who still made sense.And for some reason, the person my mind kept circling back to was Liam.Before I could overthink it, I grabbed my keys and drove straight to his family’s apartment as I felt he must be at home as he noticed his absence at the event while the event was still on.The moment he opened the door, he froze like he hadn’t expected me to actually show up. His eyebrows did that worried little pu

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 59 – The fight had only just begun.

    Yvonne’s POVMadame Celeste Duval must’ve already been asleep. You know her steps were too slow and too heavy while she approached us, like someone who had just been dragged out of bed by noise that wasn’t supposed to exist at that hour. But even half-awake, she still carried that quiet authority that made rooms fold back into place.Jack was the first to turn. He spun around so quickly that his grip on my arm tightened for a second before his fingers froze. Bobby followed after him, but the moment his eyes landed on her, his whole posture changed — stiffened, like someone who just realized the ground under him wasn’t as solid as he thought.“Madame Celeste Duval?” Bobby asked, voice cracking at the end.She gave a calm nod, her silk robe shifting as she stepped farther into the living room. “Yes. Perhaps you gentlemen have already heard the news. I have legally adopted Yvonne. She is now the newest heir of the Duval fortune.”The silence hit the room in a strange, cold way, more like

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 58 – That trick doesn’t work twice.

    Yvonne’s POVI held my phone between my shoulder and ear while wiping the little water ring the glass cup left on the table.“Mum, you’re sounding stronger,” I said, smiling without even realizing it.Her small laugh came through the phone in a warm manner. “My dear, I told you. This old body has refused to give up. The physical therapist in the south of France said that I’ve been responding to treatment faster than they expected. I even stood on my feet today. Can you imagine?”I felt my chest tighten in a good way though. “Wait, you actually stood? Like… without help?”“With help oh,” she chuckled. “Don’t give me too much credit. But soon, I will walk very well. I am coming to dance at your future wedding, so I cannot be using a wheelchair.”I laughed quietly. “Mum, please. Who is marrying me? Let’s not rush that part, besides I have a long way to go. I am yet to finish high school. Even after that, I have my college and even my career ahead of me.”“Hmm,” she hummed knowingly. “You

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 57 — Nobody messes with you!

    Tricia’s POV“That bitch, Yvonne, has clearly come back to ruin me.”My voice cracked the moment we got inside the house. I didn’t even wait for the door to close before collapsing onto the couch, letting the fake tears spill as if my whole world had just been snatched from me. Jack and Bobby rushed in after me, both talking at once, confused, and shaken by the disaster of an event Yvonne had turned upside down. Good! Let them be rattled as that gave me room to display more, into making them believe that I was manipulated by Yvonne.“I swear, she wants to destroy me,” I cried harder, pressing my palm to my forehead like I was close to fainting. “Why would she even do that? Why me? What did I ever do to her?”Jack knelt in front of me immediately, worried about darkening his eyes. “Hey, hey… Trish, breathe. Baby sis, look at me.” He reached for my hands, squeezing them with that overprotective big-brother energy he never wasted when it came to me. “You’re shaking and you just need to

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 56 — Yvonne, is that really you?

    Yvonne’s POVJust then, I noticed a hot tear drop from Tricia's eyes with her glare sent fully to me, like she had some words to say but ended up saying “You!” and had her fingers pointing to me.People started murmuring again — those confused side-whispers that spread like heat. The kind that made the whole hall feel smaller and let's say, tighter. Some of them looked at Tricia like she’d lost her mind, some looked at me like I’d just kicked the table over during dinner. But honestly, the only thing I felt was that tiny vibration in my chest — not nerves, not guilt… that thing you feel when justice finally stretches its legs. You understand better now, right? That was exactly the way I actually felt.One thing they failed to understand was that I came prepared and that I wasn't that same old Yvonne that they used to know.My face didn’t shift. No guilt and no panic either. No “caught in the act” expression they were probably expecting. If anything, I felt my lips twitch in that small

  • Lost Heiress of the Belfort Brothers   Chapter 55 — The beginning of the storm.

    Yvonne’s POVSomehow, my gaze went straight to Adrian moments after that clip flashed across the big screen. The air changed as people’s gasps filled the hall like a wave crashing in slow motion. Some froze with their mouths open while others pressed their hands against their lips as if they could physically hold back the shock.Adrian didn’t even try to hide how lost he looked. His jaw locked, but the tremor in his fingers gave him away. His eyes darted across the faces around him, searching for something—maybe understanding or maybe mercy. But he didn’t find either.Beside me, someone let out a low whistle. “No way…” another person muttered.The whispers were quick, sharp, slicing through the room like little blades of gossip.Tricia’s face twisted before anyone could say her name. Her mouth parted in disbelief, and then she turned toward Adrian, her voice slicing through the noise.“So you never actually loved me like you claimed?” she snapped, her tone almost trembling but still l
