Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 306. Jess is awake
~Jess~A dull, relentless ache pounds behind my eyes as my consciousness slowly returns.I groan softly and try to move my body. Pain immediately shoots through my wrists.My eyes snap open, greeted by stark darkness at first, which my eyes eventually adjust to.For the first moment, I can't seem to understand what I'm looking at.The air around me is damp, and the smell of rust, mold, and stagnant water hangs heavily.I try to sit up. That's when I realize my hands are bound behind my back.A sharp wave of panic crashes into me.What-Where am I?My breathing quickens as I force myself upright, my vision slowly adjusting to the dull-lit room.The walls surrounding me are made of rough stone, darkened by maybe moisture. The continuous, rhythmic sound of dripping water is heard somewhere in the room.At the far end of the room, I make out a heavy metal barrier made of thick iron bars. Beyond it stands a masked, armed guard.My stomach drops as I begin to struggle against my restraints.
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 305. The difference between you and me
~Tania~"Do you mind putting me up to speed? I'd love to know what I'm missing out on." Thomas Maclewin says to my surprise."You knew Agnes Shema was seeing someone else, didn’t you?”He shrugs, “Not exactly. Why?”“Our deal is off,” I tell him. “I’m not doing it anymore.”Thomas sits up, looking unbothered. “We had an agreement, Miss Beecroft.”“That I should get Julian to settle down with me as fast as possible, yes. But I’m telling you now that I can’t do it anymore." I speak clearly.Thomas clears his throat and gives me a cold stare that has me regretting ever accepting his absurd deal in the first place.When I had that private meeting with him, I was so excited to go ahead with his proposal because he promised that the tower contract would go to Smith and Agary, and he did make me a personal offer, too. One that I was very pumped to get.However, he gave me his reason for wanting this as “Caesar Constructions” being a family-oriented firm, and since Julian would be at the fore
Rise Of The Hidden Heiress 304. We need to talk
~Tania~I was in shock for a while after leaving Agnes's house.My visit proves only one thing: she has the same type of pendant I saw at Julian's house.I assume that since she has the same pendant and her middle name is Tracy, the necklace was crafted for her, and Julian was the one who gifted it to her.That would mean both of them are either dating or they once dated.It could also mean they’re just friends. But I find myself unable to think in that direction.First thing the next day, I get ready as fast as I can and decide to make a quick stop at the Smith and Agary branch handled by Julian before heading to my company.I meet him at the entrance of Smith and Agary, and the shock on his face is evident."We need to talk," I say as I walk past him into the open elevator.Julian stands at the spot for a moment before rushing in to join me.We arrive at his office floor and step out hurriedly.Out of people's earshot, he turns to me, "What's wrong. Why are you here this early? Is t

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
