Just then, the door creaked open and Trisha stepped in.

“Ma’am, Mrs. Sinclair requests your presence in her office,” she announced.

I swallowed, turning briefly to Derek as I rose to my feet.

“I suppose she has some work for me,” I said, forcing a light smile, hoping he would take the hint and leave.

Instead, a pleased smile curved his lips.

“Good timing, I have something to discuss with her as well. We can go together.”

Before I could protest, he reached for my hand, helping me up.

“Thank you…

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    A Celebration Of Lies

    Liora's POVI met Derek’s gaze just as he forced a smile. Without responding, I turned back to Aurora, pulling her closer.“I won’t leave you,” I said, the words heavy on my tongue, yet steady enough to bring her comfort.Aurora’s face lit up instantly.“I love you, Mummy,” she said, her tiny voice ringing with innocent certainty.My brows arched slightly at the word, but I quickly masked it, softening my expression.“I love you too, Rora,” I replied gently.She blinked up at me. “Rora?”I rolled my eyes playfully. “Do you not like it?”Her laughter bubbled out, light and contagious. “I love it!”“Are you sure? ” I teased, tickling her sides.Her laughter filled the room, echoing with pure joy.Derek sat, watching us quietly… just then, footsteps began approaching.The soft, measured sound echoed through as my body went still.I swallowed hard, bracing myself.“Liora… is that you?”I turned to see his mother approaching.“Yes, ma’am,” I replied respectfully, giving a slight bow.Derek

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    The Promise I Can't Keep

    Liora’s POV“Oh… we left them in the car,” Derek said smoothly, his tone effortlessly convincing.“Yes, we must have forgotten them there,” I added, forcing a polite smile.My mother sighed as she returned to her seat, clearly unimpressed.“Newly married couples are supposed to flaunt their rings, not take them off. This generation…” she muttered, shaking her head.Derek stepped closer and gently took my hand.For a fleeting second, I wanted to pull away, to reject the contact entirely, but my mother’s watchful gaze held me in place. I brightened my smile instead, playing along.“We’ll be hosting the celebration tonight,” my mother announced.My eyes widened slightly.“You two don’t need to worry about anything,” she continued. “Just take your time to prepare. It will be… delightful.”“Thank you,” Derek replied with a charming smile. “But we should inform my mother first.”We?“Of course,” my mother agreed.Derek guided me outside, his hand still lightly holding mine. The moment we st

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    The Ringless Bride

    Liora’s POVI walked out without another word as Derek followed close behind.We stepped outside, but instead of heading toward his car, I veered toward mine.“I thought we were going together?” Derek called, confusion threading his voice.“I’ll be right behind you,” I replied coolly, already sliding into the back seat.Mr. Gab was waiting, hands steady on the wheel.I glanced out just in time to see Derek exhale, run a hand through his hair, then turn and get into his car. Moments later, his engine roared to life.“Follow that car,” I instructed.“Yes, ma’am.”The engine purred as we pulled out. The drive stretched longer than I expected. My fingers tapped absently against my lap as unease settled deep in my chest.Finally, Derek’s car slowed. Ahead stood a tall, concrete building: The City Marriage Registry.His car came to a stop as he stepped out, an envelope in hand, and waited.Mr. Gab pulled in behind him as I stepped out, then walked toward Derek without a word and together, w

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    No Room For Feeling

    Liora’s POV“If you really want to find out… then ask…”“Derek yourself,” I finished flatly, cutting her off.I forced another bite of food down, though my appetite was long gone. Then I stood, pressing a quick kiss to Mum’s cheek.“Goodnight, Mum.”Without waiting for a response, I walked out.I entered my room as I dropped onto the bed like my bones had given up holding me together.“Come on, Liora… this is just a contract marriage. Not a real one,” I muttered to myself, staring at the ceiling. “For the sake of the empire.”I pulled my pillow over my face, as if I could smother the thoughts, and at some point… sleep took me.*The next day*I got ready for work, had breakfast with Mum, and we left the house together. Our cars moved in convoy; hers ahead, mine trailing behind.Soon, Starlight Empire rose into view.Trisha met me at the entrance, taking my bag without a word as we walked in, while um’s assistant did the same for her.Inside my office, I sank into my chair, exhaustion w

    “Game of hide and seek?” I gasped, my voice edged with disbelief as Derek stared at Trisha with open disdain and roughly yanked his hand free from hers.“Please, just listen to me,” Derek said, stepping toward me, but Trisha quickly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him back; the movement was abrupt and desperate.Derek’s expression darkened as his hand lifted sharply, poised midair as if he might strike her.“Oh!” Trisha flinched, her eyes squeezing shut in terror.But his hand froze, hovering inches from her cheek.“This is insane,” I muttered under my breath before slamming the door shut and collapsing against it, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.“Liora, please open the door!” Derek’s voice came from the other side, urgent. “I can explain. Lio, darling…”“Don’t you dare call me that!” I snapped, my voice echoing through the room. “Just… stop.”There was silence.“Please, Liora…” he tried again, softer this time.I exhaled deeply, forcing myself to steady my emotions. Th

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    Right In Front Of Me

    “She’s nothing to me, nobody important,” Derek said flatly before turning and striding toward the door.“Really?” I called after him, louder than I intended.He paused, glanced back briefly. “See you later.” And then the door shut behind him.I turned to my mother, my chest tightening. “Please… you need to talk to me. What is going on between them?”“Ask Derek yourself,” she replied, her tone clipped, dismissive.I exhaled sharply and started toward the door.“Lio darling, we’ll be heading home soon,” she added.“Sure,” I forced out, a strained smile on my lips as I stepped out.There was only one person who could give me the truth: Trisha.I made my way to my office, my thoughts spiraling. The moment I pushed the door open, my steps faltered.My eyes widened as I saw Trisha seated comfortably in my chair… my seat, like she owned it.I walked in slowly and she didn’t even acknowledge me.I stopped in front of the desk and cleared my throat, announcing my presence since I apparently wa
