BELLA'S POV

“What do you mean by — so?” I asked sharply, sitting up straight on the edge of the couch. My body stiffened as I stared at her. “I just told you that, and you’re acting like it’s not shocking at all?”

Mom barely reacted. She adjusted her robe, sat on the chair opposite me, then leaned back, her expression calm—almost annoyingly so.

“Because I’m not surprised,” she said. “Years ago, when she found out I wasn’t her real mother, she came here with a woman who claimed to be her biol

    ANNA'S POV He didn’t tell me that Tracey was coming to his place. That single fact had refused to leave my mind since yesterday, looping endlessly like a broken record. No matter how much I tried to focus on work, no matter how many documents I opened or emails I skimmed through, it always crept back in. I heard it clearly. His maid’s voice. The way she announced it so casually, like it was nothing out of the ordinary. Did he not know that I heard the maid when she told him? And even if he didn’t know then, he still didn’t mention it later. That was the part that bothered me the most. I leaned back in my office chair, the leather creaking softly beneath my weight as I tilted my head and stared at the ceiling. The white surface above me felt too close, almost suffocating, as my thoughts raced uncontrollably. My mind was racing like hell right now. I hadn’t called Ryan since yesterday. Not because I didn’t want to talk to him, if anything, I wanted to hear his voice but beca

    RYAN'S POV I got downstairs and saw Tracey sitting on the couch, her legs crossed neatly at the knees, her posture relaxed like she belonged there. “Hey,” I said as I walked toward her, my tone neutral. “What’s going on? I didn’t ask you to come over.” She looked up at me, lips curving into a small smile that lingered a second too long. “Oh hey. Yeah, I know,” she said lightly. “I was just passing through the street, saw your mansion, and decided to come say hi.” I stopped a few steps away from her. “Not for anything important?” She tilted her head slightly. “Well, I consider saying hi just as important as any other thing.” I frowned. “Why? I mean… you’ve never done this before.” She waved a dismissive hand. “Relax, Ryan. It’s just a harmless hello. Not like I’m going to do anything you wouldn’t approve of.” “That’s exactly the point,” I replied. “I don’t approve of you coming here without my consent. What if Anna was here with me? Did you even consider that?” She chuckled so

    RYAN'S POV “I was really shocked that they both came to beg for forgiveness. They literally went on their knees, something I never imagined I’d see from both of them in my lifetime,” Anna said over the speaker of the phone. Her voice sounded calm, but I could hear the disbelief beneath it. It wasn’t every day people who once felt untouchable humbled themselves like that. I hung up the last of my jackets and adjusted the spacing between my shirts inside the walk-in closet. Everything had to sit perfectly. I liked order, it helped me think clearly. “There’s a first time for everything, babe,” I replied evenly. “Nobody remains the same forever.” Anna scoffed softly on the other end. “Or they could just be doing that so they can avoid what’s coming for them. They know I’m going to make Bella’s life working here a living hell.” I paused for a moment, then reached for another hanger. “You could be right,” I said calmly. “But you could also be wrong.” She didn’t respond immediately, s

    ANNA'S POV As I walked through the glass doors of the building, already preparing myself for another long day at the lab, I barely had time to take two steps inside before something unusual caught my attention. Voices. Not the normal low chatter from staff greeting one another or patients checking in, this sounded tense. Sharp. Almost confrontational. Two women stood at the reception desk, and from the way one of them leaned forward while the other gestured wildly, it was clear they weren’t having a pleasant conversation with Abby. My receptionist looked uncomfortable, her polite smile stretched thin as she tried to maintain professionalism. I slowed my steps and placed my coat neatly on the couch beside the entrance. Whatever was going on, it clearly needed intervention. For a brief second, I wondered if they were patients, maybe someone had experienced a reaction or wanted to complain about a prescription. That thought alone was enough to make me step in. I walked closer, my

    ISABEL'S POV “No, don’t tell me that,” I said, shaking my head slightly as I looked at Melissa. “I of all people know that life hasn’t been kind to you since Anna got back at you and James and everything went downhill. So don’t sit there and pretend everything is fine. Besides, you said you were going to give me the gist when you came back, and I have a feeling that gist has something to do with your new glow.” I picked up a piece of bread, tearing it apart before dipping it into the eggs on my plate. I chewed slowly, watching her closely. Melissa had always been good at dodging questions, but today she looked different — lighter, brighter, like someone who had finally found something she didn’t know she was missing. She opened her mouth to respond, but before she could say anything, James’ voice cut through the room. “You’re finally back,” he said from behind us. “Why did your mom want to see you so early in the morning?” He walked into the living room with stiff steps, his pres

  • Pregnant And Abandoned, I Returned As A Hidden Heiress   CHAPTER 139

    MELISSA'S POV “I don’t understand, so the rule applies for you but not for me?” I said, folding my arms across my chest as I stared at him. Eric leaned back against the headboard, completely relaxed, like we weren’t even having a serious conversation. The sheet was loosely wrapped around his waist, his chest exposed, his expression calm in a way that annoyed me even more. “No, don’t think of it that way,” he said calmly. “The thing is, I’m a responsible man with a family. I can’t just leave everything I’ve worked for years behind just like that. People would start talking, and it would ruin my businesses.” I let out a short laugh, sharp and bitter, shaking my head slowly. “Right. But people wouldn’t say a word when it involves me, right?” I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm and venom. Eric frowned slightly, clearly not liking my tone, but he didn’t make any effort to explain himself better. Instead, he stretched his arm toward me, as if trying to pull me closer. “Come on,
