Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Who is shawn
Carlos came over at midnight.Not the usual midnight visit, with the grocery bags and the pretend errand. This one, he came through the connecting hallway in his coat, still buttoned, and when Anika said the name — Shawn — the change that came over his face was something she'd only seen once before.The last time, he'd been standing in a burned-down garden."Say it again," Carlos said quietly."Shawn. He said to ask you about Shawn."Carlos sat down on the terrace chair, slowly, like a man whose knees had been consulted. For a moment he looked every one of his seventy years, and then some, and then a few more on top of that."Shawn Delacroix," he said. "Of course. Of course it would be Shawn." He pressed his hands together in front of his mouth. "Young mistress, how much do you know of your family's... wider branches?""Almost nothing. My memory's a burned photo album, Carlos. You know that. I know my parents. I know the house. I know the nickname — he knew the nickname.""He would,"
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress You've Grown, Little Girl
For three days after the night of the noodles, the penthouse was — there was no other word for it — soft.Anika kept catching herself doing things that would have embarrassed the old her. Humming while she made coffee. Wearing one of Christopher's sweaters on the terrace like a person with nothing to prove. Letting him kiss her cheek before they took separate elevators to the same car, and not checking who saw."He's insufferable now, by the way," Casey reported over the phone, delighted. "He did a full cardio session yesterday whistling. Whistling. The trainers think he's having a breakdown.""He kind of is," Anika said, and hung up smiling.The softness even carried into work. The Mercer file was moving. Kessler had a new packet due Friday — she'd found something on the black car at the service gate, she wouldn't say what over the phone, only come in person, bring no one. Everything, for exactly three days, felt like a city at peace.Anika would think about that later — how the univ
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress The Fight & The Make-Up
Christopher found out on a Tuesday, from a dry cleaner.Not literally. But nearly. Carlos, who knew about the PI because Carlos knew about everything, had let it slip to Ravi as a security matter — "keep an eye near the dry cleaner's, the young mistress has a private arrangement there" — and Ravi, who took his job with monastic seriousness, had flagged it in his daily log. And Christopher, who was a lot of things but not stupid, had read the log line and put it together with three weeks of "work files" and a wife-shaped hole in the no more secrets deal, and by the time Anika got home that evening, he was sitting on the couch in the connecting hallway with the log on his phone and his face wiped of all its humor."Margaret Kessler," he said. No hello. "Private investigator. Retainer paid from your personal account, not the company's. Meetings at a dry cleaner's on Ninth, nine days ago and again this afternoon." He looked up. "The fire. You're investigating the fire. Behind my back. Aga
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Working Late with Tobey
The next toxic boss, as it turned out, had a name like a nature documentary: Grant Mercer, Head of Commercial Partnerships."Mercer," Tobey said, spreading his laptop across Anika's desk at 8:40 p.m., the tower empty around them and the cleaning crew vacuuming two floors down. "Presenting: two protected juniors who've each had 'performance conversations' with five women in two years. Every woman he 'coached' out the door got the same words in their file. 'Not a culture fit.' Meanwhile his two favorite account guys got promoted with the same numbers the women got fired over. That's a pattern with a paycheck."Anika scrolled the spreadsheet, and it was ugly and tidy, like most of the things they'd been finding lately. "Complaints?""Three filed. All three 'resolved informally.' Guess who resolves them informally. His golf partner in HR.""So it's not just Mercer. It's a pair." She pulled a legal pad over. "Same play as Santiago, then. We don't touch him while the wounds are fresh. We bu
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress The Investigator
The PI's office was above a dry cleaner's, which Anika suspected was the point. Nobody looks up at a dry cleaner's.Margaret Kessler was fifty-something, ex-police, built like a reading chair — comfortable-looking until you noticed she hadn't blinked in two minutes. She'd come recommended by Carlos, which meant recommended by fifteen years of careful watching, and she didn't waste a word of the meeting on reassurance."Delacroix," she said, reading Anika's check. "The old case. You're the girl." It wasn't a question. "You were never accounted for. Huh." She looked up. "You want the fire looked at. By who, officially?""By nobody, officially." Anika set a retainer on the desk, thick as a phone book. "This is private. One copy of every finding, to me. No staff, no letters, no emails — dead drops if you have to. Nobody knows this exists.""Because?""Because the last person who looked too closely at that fire was probably a police officer, and I'd like to know how he died."Kessler pause
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Handcuffs at the Elevator
The farewell party was Santiago's own idea, which told you everything about the man.He'd rented nothing — his department had "organized" it, meaning two terrified juniors had spent their own money on a sheet cake that read GOOD LUCK MR. SANTIAGO in supermarket frosting. It sat in the break room at 4:30 p.m. Friday, next to a jug of grocery-store punch, while Santiago held court one last time, telling a small crowd of the curious and the trapped about his "next chapter" and "consulting opportunities" and "people don't realize how in-demand my profile is."Anika watched from her office through the glass, absently signing the last of the board packets. The vote had passed at 3:00 — exit terms ratified, shares renegotiated, everything clean. Santiago had even smiled at her across the boardroom when it was done. The professional nod of one player to another.He had no idea.She checked her phone. The message from the district attorney's office had come at 2:47: Confirmed for 5:00 p.m. Ple

Anika's chest was rising and falling from fear. Why did Tori have to see her? This was so humiliating!"Uh...Tori, I-" She tried to speak but the right words just wouldn't form. "How dare you! Thief!" Before Anika could say another word, Tori jumped up on her, pulling her hair so tight that strand
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Call the police!
Immediately, everyone began to laugh out loud. Anika was too stunned to even understand the situation. How could she be this humiliated like this?Anna grabbed her purse, "I'm gonna head out. Bye, friend." Then ran away. They laughed and kept chatting as if Desiree had not just bullied her. Anika
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress She needs help
No one might had known Anika had cried all night. She always raised her head up high and smiled through it all. "You're basically Cinderella at this point," Anika's friend Anna said to her. Anika had just finished the laundry. "Exactly. Because I'm married to my prince charming," she smiled, thro
Revenge Of The Secret Heiress Inheritance
Anika just stared at him as he explained, then, to back up all of his points, he paused, opened the black bag he'd been carrying, and brought out a neat brown envelope. She frowned but collected it from him to open it. This was his proof after all. NOTICE OF INHERITANCE. To Ms. Anika Delacroix
