That 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.

    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

    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

    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,

    JACQUE RHODES I was three espresso shots deep into my morning meeting when the chaos started. The giant screen in my office blinked to life with the live feed. All twelve board members fell into hush as the press conference came into view—Rebel, or as the world had just been reintroduced to her, Catie Rhodes, stood on that podium like she was born on it and ready to burn it down. And oh, did she burn it down. “Turn it up,” I said, chuckling into my espresso. The intern nearly tripped trying to obey. The moment the volume hit an audible range, Rebel's voice sliced through the room. “Yes, legally, I’m Catie Rhodes. But let’s stop pretending I’ve lived her life. I’m Rebel. And if that makes you uncomfortable, sit with it.” I let out a full-blown ha!—and I don’t ha! often. The board members glanced at each other nervously. One man—the one who always orders chicken salad without the chicken—leaned toward me. “Sir… Shouldn’t we be worried?” I wiped my eyes. “Worried? Hell no.

  • REBEL : THE DEADLY HIERESS   CHAPTER 65: CATIE RHODES

    REBEL Punching bags I understand; climbing through tall buildings, disguises, everything and anything I had been trained for for years, yet having to attend press conferences, fake smiles, and being kind to annoying individuals just rubs me the wrong way. Mother had been insisting on me doing this, yet here I am, missing my kids and lover, who didn’t like the fact that I stepped out without him or the kids, and by the heavens, I don't understand why my mother doesn't just accept him even after I've had his kids, and to make things worse, she hired one of his exes as her PR person, and I don't like the way things are slowly beginning to spin out of control. Flashes exploded like fireworks. “Smile, Catie!” “Princess, over here!” “Catie Rhodes, is it true you ran away for over fifteen years because your mother didn’t buy you the right tiara?” I bit the inside of my cheek so hard I tasted blood. My heels clicked against the marble as I walked into the opulent press hall flanked by secur
