For a moment, the world stopped moving.

Isabella’s heart didn’t beat.

Alexander didn’t breathe.

The ballroom, full of light, laughter, and elegance, felt like it had been sucked into a vacuum. Every sound blurred into static as the man with silver hair and serpent eyes walked past the threshold as though he were royalty.

As though he belonged.

And maybe he did.

Because evil had a habit of slipping into places meant for beauty—and corrupting it from the inside out.

The Serpent had arrived.

And he was smiling.

“Do we move?” Jake’s voice came urgently through the earpiece. “Say the word, I’ll have snipers on him in two seconds.”

“No,” Alexander said, voice like ice cracking. “Not yet. We don’t want a massacre at a charity gala.”

“But—”

“Hold your position.”

Isabella’s nails dug into her palm. “He walked in like a guest. Let’s treat him like one… for now.”

Alexander’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Let’s see what the devil wants.”

    The sun had just begun to set, casting a soft, golden hue over the gathered crowd. The air was thick with the scent of fresh flowers, and the atmosphere was one of pure magic. Isabella’s heart pounded as she walked down the aisle, her steps slow and steady, each one taking her closer to the man she loved, the man she was about to marry. Alexander stood at the altar, his eyes fixed on her, his expression unreadable, but the warmth in his gaze made her heart swell. The garden, which had been transformed into a stunning venue for their wedding, was filled with their closest friends and family, all of them watching this momentous occasion unfold. The guests were silent, their eyes glued to Isabella as she made her way to Alexander. The world felt like it had come to a standstill, and it was as though time itself was holding its breath in anticipation. Isabella felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. Her hand gripped the bouquet tightly, but it wasn’t out of fear; it was a reminder of

    The day had finally arrived.Isabella stood in front of the large windows of her bridal suite, gazing out at the beautiful garden below. The sun was shining brightly, casting a soft golden glow over the manicured lawns and blooming flowers. Everything looked like a dream, but it didn’t quite feel real. The gentle breeze played with the strands of her hair, sending a shiver of excitement down her spine. It felt like just yesterday when she had been unsure of her future, and now, here she was—on the cusp of marrying the man she loved, of starting a family together, and embarking on a new chapter of her life.The room was filled with soft chatter and the gentle sounds of wedding preparations. Her friends, Lily and Elena, were helping her get ready, adjusting the delicate lace of her gown and making sure her makeup was flawless.

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 153 – Wedding Preparations

    The excitement in the air was palpable as Isabella stood in front of the large mirror in the bridal boutique, the soft rustle of fabric around her as she admired the elegant gown that clung to her body. The dress was everything she had imagined—a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern flair. Lace, satin, and delicate embroidery made it an extraordinary piece, one that made her feel both delicate and strong at the same time. She ran her fingers along the intricate beadwork at the waist, the shimmer of it catching the light and reflecting the love and care that had gone into making it.“This is perfect,” she whispered to herself, a soft smile playing on her lips.Behind her, Isabella could hear the excited chatter of her best friend, Lily, who had come along to help with the wedding preparations. Lily had been a constant source of support for Isabella ever since the day they had met. Through every high and low, she had remained by her side, offering her unwavering loyalty and lov

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 152 – Embracing the Unknown

    The following days were a blur for Isabella. What had once seemed like a simple and almost idyllic life with Alexander had now become a whirlwind of emotions, decisions, and a future she had never imagined. The discovery that she was five months pregnant hit her like a storm, changing everything in an instant.Each morning, she woke up with the same overwhelming thought: I’m going to be a mother. Her stomach would churn with both excitement and fear. There were so many things she had never considered—how her life would change, how Alexander would feel, how they would raise a child together. But through it all, one thing remained clear: she couldn’t face this alone.Alexander had been by her side through every step of the way, offering support, comfort, and even a surprising amount of tenderness. He’d taken charge of making all the necessary appointments, from checking in with doctors to arranging her maternity care. And yet, there were moments when Isabella couldn’t help but feel lost

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 151 – The Unexpected News

    Isabella had always believed that life had a strange way of throwing curveballs when you least expected them. The past few months had been full of twists and turns, each one more unpredictable than the last. But nothing could have prepared her for the news that was about to change everything.It was a quiet Sunday morning, and Alexander had just finished preparing breakfast for the two of them. Isabella was sitting at the kitchen counter, sipping her coffee, her thoughts wandering as they often did. She felt a sense of peace she hadn’t felt in a long time. Life with Alexander had been a whirlwind of emotion, but it was also a comfort she hadn’t realized she needed.As she took another sip of her coffee, she felt the faintest flutter in her stomach. It wasn’t the usual butterflies she’d come to associate with the excitement of being around Alexander. No, this was something else—something a little deeper, a little more profound.She placed her coffee mug down on the counter, a frown tug

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 150: A New Beginning

    The soft golden glow of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting long shadows across the room. Isabella stretched lazily in bed, her body sinking into the soft sheets. It was a moment of quiet bliss, one that she didn’t want to disturb. For the first time in ages, she felt like she could breathe. She wasn’t carrying the weight of her past, of the secrets she had been hiding for so long. With Alexander by her side, she felt lighter, as if the world could throw anything at her and she’d be able to face it head-on. But as the minutes passed, the soft hum of the city outside began to seep into the quiet room, reminding her that the world was still turning, that there was still so much left to do. She let out a small sigh, rolling over onto her side to check the time. The clock read ten minutes past seven. She wasn’t sure when it had happened, but her life had shifted. In the past, she would have immediately risen and gone into overdrive—checking emails, preparing for meetin

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 149: Between Us

    The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm, golden hue over the city below. Isabella leaned against the balcony, her fingers loosely wrapped around a glass of wine. The cool breeze ruffled her hair as she stared out at the skyline, lost in thought. It was moments like this when she felt the weight of everything. The life she had lived before, the choices she had made, and the person she had become. But it was also moments like this when she felt alive. In the silence of the evening, with the world slowing down, it was just her and her thoughts. And Alexander. The thought of him sent a shiver down her spine. He had always been there, watching from the sidelines, a steady presence in the chaos that was her life. But now, things were different. Now, he was no longer just the man who stood at the edges of her story. He was the one she turned to, the one who understood her in ways no one else could. “I was wondering where you went.” His voice cut through the silence, low and warm,

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 148: Fragments Of Us

    The dim glow of the evening sky filtered through the windows, casting soft shadows across the room. Isabella sat in front of the large glass window, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the edges of the cup in front of her. She had never expected to feel this way. She had always been the type to keep her emotions guarded, tucked away behind layers of armor. But now, as she stared out at the city stretching beneath her, she couldn’t help but feel the weight of everything that had happened. The battle was over. Lazarus had been stopped. Blackwood’s grip was loosening. Yet, the world outside still felt distant, as if she were standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out at the unknown below. The sound of footsteps behind her made her pulse quicken. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The way he moved—the quiet confidence, the smooth cadence of his steps—it was all too familiar. Too intimate. “Isabella.” His voice, low and soft, seemed to melt the tension in the air, pulli

  • Rise Of The Heiress    Chapter 147: Unfinished Business

    The room was still, save for the hum of the servers that continued to whirr quietly in the background. Isabella’s breath, heavy and ragged from the firefight, echoed in the silence. She wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead, her eyes never leaving the glowing monitor that now displayed a simple, yet powerful message: Mission complete. Lazarus is offline. Blackwood’s control has been severed. Tamsin leaned back in her chair, her fingers twitching slightly as the tension in her body began to fade. The task that had consumed their lives for the last several months was over. They had stopped Lazarus. They had stopped Blackwood. Or so they thought. Isabella lowered her gun, her chest still heaving with exertion. There was a lingering sense of unease that she couldn’t shake. Blackwood was a man who had always planned for every contingency. This wasn’t over. It couldn’t be. “You did it,” Alexander said, his voice calm but tinged with a faint exhaustion. His eyes lingered on the screen f
