~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.”

“Came with your car?”

“Nope.”

“How do you plan to get home then?”

“I'll hail a taxi.”

“No, Leo will take you home. He’s already at the parking lot, waiting.” He tells me. “You’re exhausted. I can't

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   94. I hope she forgives me

    Jess sits up slightly. “Alli. Why aren’t you saying anything?”I try so hard to think of a way to tell her why I’m not assuring her that I’ll thoroughly investigate the crime, but most of the reasons coming right up in my head require me to lie to her, which I seriously do not wish to.I turn briefly to see that she’s staring expectantly at me. So, I begin to explain, carefully choosing my words. “Ashmere City is the capital of Silver Valley,” I begin calmly. “And it’s one of the richest cities in the southern region. The city attracts lots of businesses, Investors, tourists, and immigrants. And with all that comes crime.”Jess continues to stare, wearing a big frown.“Angel, I’m not saying the man who died tonight deserved what happened to him,” I continue carefully. “But targeted shootings like this are rarely random. It was a clean execution. I think it was a calculated-”“You’re assuming he’s involved in crime,” she counters, cutting me off.“I’m saying it’s possible.”“Right befo

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   93. Truth

    ~Allister~When Julian, Simon, and I arrived at the scene, a small crowd had already formed around the crime scene, and the victim's body was already covered.I step out of the car and head straight to the small gathered group. Julian and Simon move beside me, scanning the perimeter as we go. And Leo stays back to watch our vehicles.Yellow tape stretches across the front of the victim’s house with officers moving in controlled patterns.A forensic team kneels near shell casings, gloved hands placing markers beside them. A photographer adjusts angles, the camera flashing in bursts.Then I spot Jess. calm washes over me. Her voice on the phone when she called me was panicked, and I was terrified out of my mind. Seeing her now, realizing she's fine, does a lot to make me super calm.The moment her eyes land on me, she hurries over. I open my arms, waiting, and she walks straight into them.Her body is cold, probably from staying out here in the open for too long.“Alli,” she whispers, a

    “Wait,” Ursula says, lifting her glass dramatically. “Let’s tackle this one after the other. So, let’s talk about you and Alpha Allister. You said you think you love him.”Agnes immediately leans forward. “She said she loves him. Not think.”Ursula sighs as if Agnes has personally offended her ancestors. “Well, it’s the same thing.”“It is not,” Agnes insists.I just sit there between them, smiling into my drink, watching them argue about my love life like it’s a national crisis.It’s always fun having them like this. There’s something comforting about it.Ursula turns to me again, serious now. “Are you sure you don’t feel this way about Allister because he’s your mate?”“Duh,” Agnes cuts in. “Why do you ask the dumbest questions, Ursy? What do you expect her to feel for her mate? Hate? You don’t expect her to fall in love with a total stranger?”“Aggy, can you just shut up. I’m going somewhere with this.”“Well, it’s taking forever.”Ursula inhales slowly, visibly resisting the urge

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   91. Banished

    Sebastian’s face turns ashen as the implication of Allister’s words sinks in. “What in the moon goddess name is the meaning of this?” he demands, unable to believe what he just heard.Rhea’s complexion drains of all color. She trembles violently, “Brother Alli, you… you…” she stammers, unable to form a coherent sentence.Allister looks completely emotionless. Even I am surprised that he’s so cold and apologetic to confront a truth they had all ignored for too long.“Rhea,” he calls her in a very merciless tone. “Put away those filthy thoughts, and stay far away from me. I will never be interested in you.”I am stunned by his ruthless exposure. I never expected things to escalate this way. Just because I once hinted Rhea might be infatuated with him, Allister has now torn apart all illusions so publicly and cruelly, even banishing her without mercy.Luna Cecilia clutches her chest as her voice resonates with anger. “Rhea, if this is true, then I am disappointed in you. Is this true? D

  • Rise Of The Hidden Heiress   90. Revelations

    Both of us know that she’s silently asking me to forgive her for trying to frame me at Luna Cecilias gala the other day. And at this point, she can do anything to have me not mention the events of that here.I frown but remain silent as I watch Rhea’s pitiful act that fails to mask the deception that anyone can see.Her eyes brim with tears that are anything but genuine. Plus, it’s obvious she so conveniently twists the truth just to appear less evil, and that makes her confession disgusting to me.Surprisingly, Grandma Regi is the one to break the silence, and it's shocking to see the look of disappointment on her face. “Rhea, did it at any point cross your mind that Jess is the Hamit-Beta heiress? How could you think such a thing of her? Why would you think she is capable of harming you?” Luna Cecilia couldn’t hide her displeasure at Rhea’s confession as well. “Why didn’t you just enroll properly with professional tutors if you really wanted to learn Archery?” she asks sternly. “No

    We literally had to hurry out of the house so as not to miss the scheduled family dinner at the Blackwaters villa. I chose an elegant black dress, pairing it with gold-colored accessories that made my skin pop, giving me an overall graceful appearance.When we arrived at the villa, the White’s couple and Sebastian were already seated with Luna Blackwaters. Sarah is wearing a red dress that matches my father's tie, while my father and my cousin, Sebastian, are dressed in well-tailored customized suits.Allister leads me inside. He takes me to a seat and helps me settle before walking over to greet my family.Rhea offers me some polite greetings, her expression carefully controlled.I glance at her with an indifferent face, remembering her last attempt to frame me up. Despite my relationship with Allister, I still can’t help the wariness I feel in Rhea Luther’s presence.The dining table is lavishly set with an array of dishes. I recognize some of my favorite meals.The careful sele
