MIA

The air was thick with tension the moment Louisa walked into the safehouse. Her hood was up, face shadowed by the dim flickering bulb overhead. I didn’t flinch. I’d been expecting her.

"Took you long enough," I said, lounging on the worn sofa, a glass of whiskey in hand.

She didn’t respond at first. She just stood there, assessing me with those sharp eyes of hers. Drug addict or not, there was something sharp and unyielding about Louisa when she was angry. And today, she was molten fury packed into a deceptively frail frame.

"I know what Robert’s been hiding," she said.

I raised an eyebrow. "Do tell."

"He loves her. Rebel. He’s not doing this job anymore. He’s in too deep."

I sipped my drink, savoring the confirmation. "And that bothers you because...?"

She stepped forward, slowly pulling down her hood. Her eyes burned with resentment. "Because he saved me. Nursed me. Told me I mattered. But he’s always been looking past me... for her."

Now this was interesting.

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 72: FALLING BACK TOGETHER

    KLAUSThe rain was loud tonight—louder than usual. It tapped against my window like a restless reminder that peace was a damn myth. I sat on the edge of my couch in the dimness of my apartment, fingers rubbing at the tension between my brows. Storms like this always brought her back.Catya.It had been years since the divorce. Since she detonated our life with one choice. One betrayal. The kind that didn’t just hurt; it destroyed me. She hadn’t just ruined us; she ruined my best friend, my brother in all but blood.And still... I couldn’t forget her. Couldn’t erase the way her laugh used to make the world feel lighter. Or how her touch had once been home. I hated that part of me still craved her, still reached for her ghost in the dark.I let out a heavy breath, running a hand through my hair, gripping it tighter than necessary. I’d tried everything to forget: nights out, silence, and work, yet nothing helped. Every time it rained, it all came flooding back: her smile, her lies, her

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 71: COLLABORATION

    KILLIANI was sipping lukewarm espresso from a porcelain mug when the door creaked open; no knock, no announcement, just the kind of arrogance I usually admired if I wasn’t already sick of it.“You’re not easy to find,” said the woman in red stilettos and cigarette perfume. Louisa..... I had my men investigate everyone around Rebel so I know who she is.I leaned back. “You break into every apartment you find or just the ones with better lighting?”“You call this better lighting?” came another voice, smoother, cooler.... Mia, another foe of Rebel's She closed the door behind her and stepped inside like she’d been here before; she hadn’t.... I would’ve remembered her. Blonde hair too perfect, eyes like frozen water, pretty, empty, big tities....I placed my mug down slowly. “If you’re selling candies, I’m full. If it’s threats, get in line.”Louisa dropped her handbag on my table like it was her office. “Neither. We’re here to talk about Rebel.”I didn’t blink. “That’s a mistake.”“Is

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 70: CONCERN

    DANIELThat evening, when the children were tucked in bed and silence had fallen over our home, I found Rebel in our bedroom, getting dressed in something more comfortable; a silky satin gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. After childbirth, her body has become so curvy and sophisticated. The soft light fell on her in a warm sheen on skin as she turned with the elegance that made my heart thud. She caught me looking in the mirror over her shoulder. "Think I look okay?" she asked, turning slightly to reveal more. "Stunning," I told her, my voice deep and gritty with need. As she came up, the fabric glimmered on her body, accentuating her addictive figure. She came close and playfully tugged on my shirt an invitation that was laced with teasing. "Wanna come with me?" she breathed, her body heat on my ear as she leaned against me. In an instant, that tension between us flared like fire and fuel. My hands circled her waist, pulling her forward until not a single space rema

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 69: BACKGROUND CHECK

    DANIEL It wasn't the wine we'd had at the restaurant. It wasn't even Carly's continued suspicion of my motives after all — although that in itself could've soured the heavenly crème brûlée. It was something else that bothered the back of my mind the moment we left the restaurant. Something slashing. Cold. Killian. I grasped Rebel's hand in my own as we walked toward the car, but my focus wasn't on her warmth tonight. Not entirely. It was on the way he had gazed at her for just a fraction of a second too long. The way he said her name was like he had a right to remember it intimately. "Daniel," Rebel murmurs, sliding into the backseat with a contented sigh. "That wasn't half bad; I had no idea Mother was capable of apologising." I laugh. "Which part?" She grins, "All of it. The food. The apology. The emotional bonding – I have a brother, an adopted brother." I chuckled, but my hand never left her back. That was the thing about Rebel—she burnt so bright that I wonder sometimes i

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 68: FIRST MEETING

    CARLY RHODES I don’t beg.I host galas, control over two hundred sixty-six subsidiaries, a whole kingdom, and can command silence with a glance—but beg? Never.Which is how I knew tonight would be...different and awkward, to say the least, because just like Jacque says, "I messed up big time this time around." But could you blame me? For years I thought my daughter was dead, yet suddenly she's alive with a whole life of her own, a lover to a man who is insanely rich, powerful and formidable in every field that matters, and she has two kids for him, but she is a princess by birth, an heiress to her father's numerous wealth and status, and she needs to come to terms with it, and he is no good to her, but little miss independent doesn't agree. She is the best and worst manifestation of her father and me, incredibly and utterly stubborn.The restaurant was tucked into a quiet rooftop in midtown. No paparazzi. No fanfare. Just a private room, three chairs, and the sound of my pride slowly

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 67: MEANT FOR ME

    KILLIAN RHODES My name is Killian Rhodes; there are things you don’t admit out loud. Like when you get hard watching your own blood—well, adopted blood—fire your parents ever know it all public relations nightmare on national television while chastising and putting all journalists in their place? But Ray isn’t the kind of friend you lie to. He has been my ride or die and knows more secrets about me than any other person in this world; hence, I never put up airs around him, so I bare my demons to him as I exhale harshly. “She’s perfect, man. Like a goddamn ghost with lipstick.” He scoffs, "You’re talking about your sister, Mason.” “Step-sister”, I add, like that’s supposed to make it better. I shake my head negatively. "She’s not really my sister. I mean, we’ve never met. I was informed of her existence merely months ago, man. ”So that makes it okay for you to jack off to her news coverage?" Come on, man, I didn't jack off to it. Not this time. Ray groans and facepalms. Jesus Christ,
