Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 290. Good bye Ashmere City
The faint light of dawn creeps through my bedroom window as I sit by it, staring into nothing.I managed only brief moments of dozing all through last night. Each time I closed my eyes, haunting dreams of Allister deserting me always pulled me back into consciousness.In one of the dreams, I cried. The tears felt real, burning my cheeks as they fell.And I woke with actual tears on my face with my wolf, Arina, whimpering in my head, her distress echoing through our bond.She hasn’t exactly weaned completely of the wolfsbane gas from when I was kidnapped.But she’s way better than before. As I sit at the window, staring into nothingness, tears slip down my cheeks.I quickly wipe them away with my trembling fingers.A gentle knock on the door interrupts my misery. “Miss White? Are you awake? It’s time for breakfast.”Emelda’s kind voice carries through my bedroom door. I quickly pat my face dry and open the door. Emelda’s worried eyes take in my appearance. “Did you sleep well, Miss

~Jess~“Are you really sure you want to do this, Jess?” Agnes asks, staring at the open, empty boxes on my bed.“Yes, Jess, are you sure about this?” Ursula’s voice is heard via Agnes’s cellphone, lying on the bed, the call set to speaker.“You both sound like I’m trying to disappear,” I reply, coming out of my walk-in closet with some of my shoes. “I’m only going home for a while. Before that, I'll pack my stuff back to my former apartment.”“Didn’t you leave there because your ex was disturbing you?” Ursula asks through the phone.“Well, yeah. But I don’t think he’s there anymore. I called the property manager, and she said he hasn’t been seen at the property in almost two weeks. So, he obviously left once he realized I truly do not want him.”“And you don’t think he would come back if he finds out that you're back?” Agnes asks.“Aggy, I’m not exactly heading back there,” I tell her. “At least not yet. I’m going home to Pasos for now. I’ve not decided if and when I’ll come back to A
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 288. Don't get involved
I stare at the half-finished leave application on my desk and rub my temples.Stepping away from Ashmere city is the right thing to do. It's either that or I wallow in hurt and maybe eventually fall into depression.I haven't slept properly in days because every time I close my eyes, I see my Allister.I sigh and glance out the window overlooking the hospital grounds and slowly release a breath.I haven't made up my mind yet. I know I'm leaving. That part is certain.What I don't know is whether I'll stay in Pasos with my family permanently or eventually return to Ashmere city.I slowly lower my eyes back to the document and start to move my pen again, filling up the blanks.A soft knock sounds on the door before it opens. Stephanie walks in carrying two takeaway cups."Coffee delivery," she announces.A faint smile tugs at my lips. "You're becoming too sweet, Steph.""Good sweet or bad sweet?""Good sweet."She grins and places one cup in front of me. "Extra cream.""You're officiall

~Dominic~I’ve managed to survive the worst days of my life.I’m still struggling to keep going after Jess’s rejection and the knowledge that my family and I are probably at risk of being hunted down by not just Varkai wolves but the she-devil my mother deceived me into getting myself entangled with.I’m running out of time, the clock is ticking, and I seriously have no plan in place.The only plan I want to be involved with is any plan that will mean Jess and me ending up together.In a dimly lit private room at the Lysian Club, I sit on a sofa, thinking about my situation and how I can wiggle out of it.There seems to be no possible escape for me.Since Jess disappeared from my life, everything has slowed drastically.I have sunk into a state of disrepair. Alcohol has become my constant companion, numbing the ache that gnaws at my chest.My Pack responsibilities lie abandoned, and my wolf does nothing but pace restlessly within me, as lost as I am. A couple of days ago, I was in a

Later in the evening, my phone began to ring incessantly.Jolting me from my numb state, I glance at the screen. It's a call from my father.He’s been calling for a couple of days now, but I’ve just not had the heart to pick up his calls until now.But after my call with Allister earlier, I’ve figured it's high time I move on and maybe finally let my dear father know that his son-in-law-to-be has broken our engagement and his dreams of being the Luna’s father have been put to waste.Mustering strength and courage, I answer. “Papa?” “Sweetheart,” my father’s voice is gentle but strained. “How are you, baby?”I let out a fake chuckle, “I’m-I’m good. How are you? And Sarah and my baby brother?”“Ah, so, you’ve concluded that it's going to be a brother, have you?”“Oh yes,” I smile, the closest to the real thing I’ve had on my face in a very long time. “He’s going to be a baby boy, Papa.”“I believe you, sweetheart.” He replies. “Sarah keeps asking when you’ll come home. She misses you.
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 285. Allister Blackwaters, you will perish!
~Jess~As days go by, I realize that I can’t continue this way. So, I decided to call Allister and have an actual conversation with him.If he truly wants to end things with me, then I want to hear him say it one final time, after which I’ll maybe take a break from everyone and take my time to heal.I can’t continue wallowing in pain, sadness, and tears.At some point, I have to try to move on with my life, even if it's such a tough thing to do.My wolf and I have mourned Allister’s absence for days, and even though Aggy and Ursula tried to be there for us, it still hasn’t been easy.The thought of ever doing life without Allister has done nothing but make Arina howl silently in grief, her pain echoing through my very soul every single time.A few rings, and Allister picks up the call. “Bloom?” he calls.Hoping that he will somehow tell me that the past few days were a joke and he was only pulling my legs, I eagerly answer.“Is everything alright, Bloom?” he asks, his voice so calm t

The corridor leads us out to a small opening with crystal chandeliers and soft lighting.Scanning the room, my gaze focus catches Allister Blackwaters. He’s leaning against a railing, talking to a stylishly dressed lady who has her back to us.“I thought Gideon said he won't be coming to the afterp

~Rosie~I’ve barely made it to the hotel before breaking down in tears. I may not be the best person in the whole world, but I'm definitely not the worst.I’ve had my ups and downs. And my need to remain at the top of the chain may have shaped my life in a certain way, but that’s all because I want

I break into a run. My shoes slam against the pavement as I close the distance.The suited bastard is about to shut the door when I grab it and shove it open.“Move,” I growl at him, wincing at the sharp pain shooting through my body.The man turns to me, seemingly pissed. He steps forward like he’

~Jess~It’s been a very long and stressful day.After carrying out several surgeries at the hospital, I was so exhausted and was getting ready to head home when Allister’s call appeared on my phone screen.“Bloom,” he calls. “Had a great day?”“More like a stress day,” I groan. “I am so exhausted.
