~Agnes~

The day started slowly for me at the office.

I’ve been working nonstop on designs for Tania’s new apartment, so I’m feeling exhausted as I haven’t slept well in days.

My head is throbbing, and my body is dragging, yet I still go through my usual routine with a practiced cheerfulness.

That is, until Julian resumed for the day.

The banging of his door started and soon escalated into louder door slams like thunderclaps, and his voice followed, sharp and impatient, barking at everyone in si

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   324. Take us to Jess

    With a very swift movement, faster than anything I’ve ever witnessed, Allister Blackwaters is beside Dominic Hearst.In a flash, his hands go on Dominic’s throat, and he drags him up, lifting him from the floor.“Put the gun down.” He orders in a very stern voice.Dominic Hearst, who is now struggling to breathe, throws the gun to the floor.One of Allister’s men immediately steps forward, picks up the gun, and pockets it. Only then does Allister release Dominic."Now, let's talk," Allister says, dusting his palms and turning to me, as I slowly step away from Cicero.Allister turns toward Cicero. “You were saying something that caught my interest.”Cicero nods and leads us forward, where he points to the impenetrable door that has been battered by bullets that didn’t make their way past the door."Your mother is in there," he tells Dominic Hearst. “We were unable to get through.”Without another word, Dominic Hearst staggers towards the door, his fingers rubbing his neck after he had

    Slowly, Cicero lowers his gun. Then he rubs his forehead aggressively, cursing under his breath."I can’t back down.” He tells me, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just need to get through to that door," he points to a silver, sleek, and obvious bulletproof door“If I don’t get through and eliminate the person behind those doors,” he frowns, “I’m as good as dead, Phil.”He starts to explain about an agreement with Thryssa and the fact that he was instructed to get rid of Dominic Hearst and his mother."If I can do as they asked me to, we’ll get back everything we lost. Every single thing, Phil."I shake my head, “That’s not true. They are simply using you.” I go ahead to tell him the conversations that transpired between Allister, me, and Dominic Hearst, and what Thryssa plans to do to the Westwood Pack and us once we give them Jess.His mouth falls open in disbelief. "I thought they meant what they said. They promised they could fix everything." The words break from him.“I assur

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   322. Brother

    ~Philip~As we approach closer to the scene of gunfire, I spot a couple of Cicero’s men. And since they are under strict orders to shoot at anyone, they open fire at us.There was no time to inform them that I’m among the people they are firing at.Even if there is time, how sure am I that they would cease fire at the sight of me?When the endless shooting between the two groups continued for a long time, I decided I had to do something.So, I muster the courage and decide to come out to the open with my hands raised high above my head.I tell Allister Blackwaters and his men to stand down, while I try to salvage the situation so they don’t keep shooting and maybe end up killing more of my brother’s men.Every instinct I possess in me is screaming that this is a terrible idea. But I keep walking, screaming at Cicero’s men not to shoot, that I’m the one as I emerge from cover."I'm unarmed!" I yell.Luckily, they stop shooting, but don’t lower their guns. Those remain pointed at me."W

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   321. Chills

    I find myself staring at the Varkai prince, registering the meaning of everything he said.Knowing that my mother has been singled out as a person of interest alarms me.And the fact that the two people right here with me are two dreaded individuals I would usually not want to double-cross makes me worry.Both of them scare the hell out of me.“What do you think, Dominic?” Allister Blackwaters asks me, taking me by surprise."I…uh…If-If this brother of his has Jess..." I begin, my voice sounding strange in my own ears.I quickly clear my throat. "If he has her, then he should be the priority."And that is exactly what I think. No matter what happened between Jess and me, she has a big place in my heart, and she means a lot to me, despite all of that.The two other Alphas are quiet as if they are thinking about what I just said. All I see is three men very worried about the same woman.“So, your brother, he’s working for Thryssa?” I muster the courage to ask the Varkai prince.“I belie

    I go ahead and tell them about the fact that I was expected to get rid of a certain she-wolf who lives in my Pack.And after that, I was also expected to open up my border to Varkai wolves from all over the world, and in return for that, when the throne has been seized from Allister, I will be handsomely rewarded with lands, position and title, contracts, deals, and several more.“I wanted to do it at some point. But I thought of the possibility of them not being able to take you out of the throne. Where will that leave my Pack? The entire werewolf clan will be against Westwood because at that point, my Pack has been infiltrated by Varkai wolves.”The Varkai prince mutters something about someone working with Thryssa way before now, and Allister nods in agreement.“You're smart to some extent,” Allister tells me. “At least you know that killing me isn’t going to be easy. And even if they succeed, they will face resistance from the council, and several Pack Alphas spread across our reg

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   319. Truth as it is

    ~Dominic~I must be dead.That’s the only explanation as to why I’m sitting in the same room, right beside the Varkai prince.I stare at the man, overwhelmed with fear.When I got the call about a meeting with Allister Blackwaters, I’d initially thought of so many reasons he would want to see me.Maybe he wants to officially inform me that he’s broken up with Jess, or he wants to mock me for the few health crises I’ve battled over the past couple of weeks.It could also be that he wants to tell me to stay away from Jess, even though the news of their breakup is now everywhere.Those were my thoughts about today's conversation with him.But no, he brought a Varkai wolf to my Pack. Not just any Varkai wolf, but a prince.I'm dead.My heart pounds so violently.My mother is going to kill me. This is all my fault. She told me… she said that if I didn’t do what was asked of me, I would be killed by Thryssa.But I paid her no heed.Now, it's here… My death is here.The only thing I don’t un

    ~Rhea~A cane strikes the floor from across the room, my grandmother’s way of announcing her presence. Relief washes over me. I quickly push my seat aside and rush up to her. Hugging her, I point towards the table, and I slip my hand into hers, directing her to the only empty seat at our table.
