Rise Of The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 38
Eunia A chill runs down my spine at the very thought. I sigh and lean into Mother's waiting gaze. “Marriage is a big deal, Mom, and marrying the wrong person could ruin my life, so I don't want to rush into such a huge commitment,” I enunciate calmly, hoping she’ll at least understand this part.But of course, I stand to be corrected.“Logan is the right man for you, Eunia.” Her voice drips with certainty.I fold my arms across my chest and shoot her a wry glare, my tone heavy with skepticism. “And how exactly do you know that?”“It's because he was your choice, have you already forgotten? You wouldn't stop talking about how much you missed him and wanted to be with him everyday, how could that have suddenly changed?”“What I had for Logan was nothing but childish infatuation that died a long time ago.” I mutter, picking my words carefully. “And seeing him after so many years made me realize that the sparks I once felt were completely gone.”“I'm not convinced.” Mother utters, clear

EuniaWith Kruska gone, Mother lowers herself into the seat beside me and reaches into the fruit basket. She picks out two large apples and a small knife, then begins peeling the skin off in slow, circular motions before evenly dicing them onto a plate.I watch, almost spellbound.It's rare to see someone as distinguished as Aubrey Rosette doing something as mundane as peeling an apple but it's a lovely sight, no doubt.She lifts the plate up to me with a small smile on her face, and something about that expression makes my heart warm in a weird way I can't quite name.I reach out, collecting a slice and biting into it, the sweet freshness escalating through my taste buds. “Thank you, Mother,” I mutter, taking another bite till there's nothing left.“To be honest, Eunia,” she says, her features softening as she puts the plate aside and folds her hands on her lap. “I was rather worried when I saw all that blood. No—I… I was more scared than I'd ever been in my entire life.”I feel my

Logan"Sir?" The employee's voice sounds distant. "Should I—what should I tell the board?"I don't answer, I'm too busy watching Cole MayRidge bask in his victory with my jaws clenching so hard, I think they might snap. There's no way in hell Cole didn't do this deliberately. The bastard probably found out we were courting Manson and swooped in specifically to play the anti-hero."Mr. Graham?" Alex's voice calls out, careful and concerned but I don't budge.A camera zooms in on Cole's face. He's answering the press's questions, and even though I can't hear what he's saying over the rushing in my ears, I can see the satisfaction written all over that stupid face of his. He knows this’ll hurt our company. He knows this’ll hurt—Me. I don't realize when I get up and slam my hands against the desk. Chest heaving back and forth as I struggle to control my anger.Why must this have to happen now of all times? I haven't even sent out the apology emails, yet another thing just has to happen
Rise Of The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 35
Logan The headline scrolls across the bottom of the screen in bold letters—MAYRIDGE GROUP SIGNS EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH CONNOR MANSON.My breath catches in my throat.Connor Manson. The prominent investor we've been pursuing relentlessly to scout for three years. The one who could have opened doors to international markets we've been trying to break into. The one who's been playing hard to get with every major corporation on the East Coast.And he just signs with MayRidge?The disappointment leaves a bitter taste in my mouth as I lock eyes on the news, feeling every bit of disbelief sink into my body.The camera shows a press conference. Flashing lights, microphones, the usual media chaos. And there, in the center of it all, shaking hands with Manson himself, is a face I know all too well.Cole MayRidge.Fiery red hair that catches the light like a burnished penny, thick wavy hair styled perfectly. Freckles that scatter across his pale skin like constellations. And those eyes… They're a

Logan"Then just keep doing it, sometimes it takes time.""I don't want it to take time.” The words come out more bitter than I intended. “I already waited eleven years and all I want is to be with her now. Is that too much to ask for?” “I can understand your frustration but sometimes, things just don't go the way we want. Perhaps you could do some kind of grand gesture to show her that your feelings are genuine?”“I've tried that already. I bought her flowers and made the bouquet myself. I spent twenty minutes in that shop choosing every single stem.""That sounds thoughtful and lovely, sir." Alex utters softly with a smile. “All women love flowers.”"I didn't just grab random flowers, Alex." I lean forward again, needing him to understand. "I chose specific ones. Roses, tulips, and marigolds. Do you even know what those mean?"Alex blinks. "Uh... no?"Of course he doesn't. Why would he? I'm probably one of the few people under forty who bothers to learn about Victorian flower symbo

Logan"She suffered a concussion but she'll be okay, she was conscious and speaking before I left." The words come out flat. “Well, thank God. That's great news.” Alex breathes a sigh of relief as he edges closer, taking one of the chairs across from my desk.“Yeah, but…”“But?” Alex prompts, curiosity evident in his face. I lean forward, elbows on the desk, and prop my cheek against my fist. "But she still doesn't want anything to do with me.""Did she say why?""No. She just..." I drop my hands, exhaling a sigh heavy with exasperation. "She looks at me like I'm a stranger—no, worse than a stranger. Like I'm someone she needs to be afraid of. I don't understand it, Alex. I don't know what I did wrong."The confession hangs in the air, an awkward silence stretching between us. Or maybe I'm the only one who finds it awkward. I'm not exactly used to talking about my feelings. Eleven years of keeping everything locked down tight doesn't exactly make you fluent in emotion.And when you
