I force myself off the couch and hurry over to the door as the doorbell rings for the second time.

Earlier, Tania had called, saying she was at The Vespa and wanted to stop by and talk to me urgently.

I suggested coming to her, but she wanted to come to me. So, I texted her my address.

Since my apartment is fairly close to The Vespa, she arrived in no time.

    I force myself off the couch and hurry over to the door as the doorbell rings for the second time.Earlier, Tania had called, saying she was at The Vespa and wanted to stop by and talk to me urgently.I suggested coming to her, but she wanted to come to me. So, I texted her my address.Since my apartment is fairly close to The Vespa, she arrived in no time.Having allowed her through the security property gate. She’s now at my door.Crossing the living room, I pull open the door and find the ever-gorgeous Tania standing there with a charming smile."Hello there." Her face lights up. "Now, you look amazing."A laugh slips from me. "Thank you so much. You look good, too. I love your hair and outfit. Your jewelry is so lovely." I compliment her and step aside to let her in."Please, come in.""Thank you."She walks inside carrying a small shopping bag. Once she's seated, she immediately hands it over to me."I got this for you at a store downtown. I was shopping for some new jewelry, and

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   302. Aldine

    "Yes, I wasn't in support. Because neither of you knew what you wanted. Talking to you that night only proved me right. But now, with your absence, Julian seems lost. I guess the absence was all the brain resetting he needed. He’s now realized that he wants you. Please, talk to him. He still maintains you're the only woman he loves and has promised to talk with Tania Beecroft."I let out a bitter laugh."He wants me. Did he tell you that, or did you just decide to assume that he feels that way? Aldine, what does he really want? Getting another assistant is some piece of cake. It can be sorted out in minutes. So, what does he want? He told you what we had was a mistake, he looked you in the eye the night at your family dinner and said that to you, and now he wants me back, as his what exactly?"The frustration I've been suppressing finally slips out."Aggs, calm down, that’s why I’m suggesting that you speak to him. At least that will give you a clearer picture of what’s going on.""No

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   301. Meeting with the Maclewins

    ~Agnes~Being away from Smith and Agary for days has proven to be excellent for my skin because my skincare products have worked so well in just over a week as they have in three months.Over the past week, I’ve tried to keep myself busy designing every pending project I have.For the first time in what feels like forever, I wake up a few minutes past eleven.Stretching lazily, I yawn, my thoughts drifting back to my visit to Thomas.Shaking my head, I instinctively begin comparing him to Julian. Then I stop myself immediately.The two men are several yards apart. There is really no need for comparison.Throwing the blanket aside, I climb out of bed and head straight for the bathroom to prepare for my official meeting with Aldine Agary and Luna Gladys Maclewin at Lilycity Packhouse.A quick shower and a midday meal, later, I’m in a taxi heading to Lilycity.Normally, I would drive myself, but I don't feel like sitting upright and focusing on traffic today.I stride out of my apartment

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   300. Nightmares

    ~Julian~It’s yet another week, and Aggy is still not taking my calls.I’ve tried visiting her home, and haven’t been able to make it past the front gate each time.I’ve reached out to Pius and Aldine, who tell me they haven’t seen her. Aldine said they have a meeting coming up soon, and until then, I have to take a chill pill.When it feels like I’ve exhausted all my options, I finally give up and continue calling and sending endless text messages to her, all of which she keeps ignoring.My day starts with an early morning meeting with a client. The more I try to focus on the meeting, the more Agnes's absence distracts me. I spent far too much time and energy thinking about her that I hardly remembered a thing from the morning's meeting.It's a good thing Mr. Myles was present at the meeting.Even then, I, of all people, know that the lack of concentration I'm exhibiting isn't a very good way to do business.The sheer magnitude of the distraction is so far out of character for me tha

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   299. Dinner with Thomas

    ~Agnes~The entire drive to Thomas Maclewin’s apartment in Lilycity, I debated turning around and heading back home.A huge part of me wonders if agreeing to this dinner is a mistake. I could have turned it down.But a lot has been going on around me. Leaving Smith and Agary, Jess moving to Pasos and Ursula moving to Greymark.I’ve been lonely and unmotivated to even finish the work I’m doing for Tania Beecroft.Now, seated beside Thomas at the dining table, I watch as he beams at me."I thought you would ghost me at the last minute,” he confesses, and truly, the thought crossed my mind countless times.He passes me a plate containing chicken rolls and a bowl of sauce."Have a taste, Aggy, and tell me what you think about the food.”I nod and dip one of the rolls into the sauce and slowly take a bite."Oh my gosh!" I exclaim. "This is very tasty. You should increase your chef’s salary.”I shove another roll into my mouth and practically moan in satisfaction."This is so good, Thomas."

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   298. Sarah is gone!

    “Watched?” Sarah asks, looking around, nervous.After a moment, she turns back to me and leans in to my ear and whispers, “There is nobody here, Jess. It's just us and Bartholomew the guard.”I know that, I’ve checked around, and that’s all I see as well. I scan the place again. There’s nothing out of place. Nobody seems to be looking our way, but I have this strange feeling of being watched nonetheless.Determined not to scare Sarah, I put out a false smile and nod, “Yeah, must be my mind messing with me.”She stares at me sympathetically, obviously thinking that I’m battling with trauma from when I was kidnapped or something within those lines.“Don’t worry, we’re safe.” She assures me. “Magu is a safe island, and the resort is even safer. It took Sebastian and me hours to settle for this one.”“Sure,” I reply.We continue to the Bonfire.Getting to an open sandy street, we see the sign that points to the left as the direction to take to the bonfire. So, we follow it.That’s one of t

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   83. Sebastian resets him

    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.

    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.
