STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Control The Narrative
Liora’s POVI sat behind my desk, fingers interlocked and my gaze fixed on nothing in particular.How do I face them tomorrow… if everything unravels?“This marriage can still serve a purpose,” I murmured, nodding as though convincing myself. I had been trained for situations like this, I just needed to stay ahead.Just then, my phone rang as I glanced at the screen: Ava.My brows drew together slightly. What now?I answered. “Hello, Ava…”“Ma’am, Lucien and his friend just left,” she said, her voice low but steady.My posture stiffened instantly. “What did they do? They didn’t hurt you, did they?” I asked, concern sharpening my tone.“No, ma’am. It’s about you… and the heiress.”My stomach twitched. “What about us?”“They asked about your name… and the heiress,” Ava said quietly.My eyes widened.Damn it… I didn’t even think of that, and Derek must not find out… he absolutely cannot.“And?” I asked, my voice controlled, though my pulse had quickened.“I told them the heiress chose y

Author’s POV“I’ve been digging through some information and found details about…”“Cut it, Anderson. Where is Liora?” Lucien snapped, his impatience slicing through the call.There was a pause.“…Lucien, based on what I found… I don’t think she’s Liora,” Anderson said finally, his voice cautious.Lucien’s expression hardened. “You don’t think? Are you blind? Can’t you see it’s her?”“I get it, you’re desperate to find her,” Anderson replied, exhaling slowly. “But this woman… she’s not someone we can mess with.” He paused, then added, “You know what? Come over. See it for yourself.”“How do you…” Anderson hung up.Lucien stared at his phone, irritation flaring. “How do I manage even a second with that crazy idiot…” he muttered under his breath, tightening his grip on the device. Then his gaze darkened. “I have to do this.”He stood and headed downstairs, his stomach growling in protest. As he reached the kitchen, his eyes fell on a pile of unwashed dishes cluttering the sink.His gaze
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Tell Me Where She Is
Author’s POVLucien sat motionless on the worn-out sofa in the center of the living room, his eyes fixed blankly on the wall, lost in thought.Footsteps echoed sharply as Stephanie walked in, wearing a wine-colored dress, a handbag loosely swinging from her shoulder. Her gaze landed on Lucien immediately, laced with contempt.“Stupid fool,” she muttered as she passed. “You should be grateful to Bianca. Without her, you wouldn’t be here, you’d be rotting on the streets where you belong.”Lucien didn’t respond, not even a blink.Stephanie paused briefly, glancing at him again with thinly veiled disgust. “Worthless,” she added under her breath before continuing.At that moment, Elara emerged from the hallway.She was dressed in a fitted red gown, black heels clicking against the floor. A sleek black purse rested in her hand, and her hair was styled.Her eyes moved between them.“Are you going out?” Elara asked, surprise threading her voice.“Yes,” Stephanie replied flatly. “I have someon
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge The Unseen Test
Liora’s POV“You need to make sure Lucien knows that isn’t me,” I said, steadying my voice.Ava hesitated. “I don’t think he has seen it yet… and honestly, it might be better if he does. He’ll assume you’re an heiress and that you’re doing well.”I exhaled softly. “Still… do everything you can to make sure he knows the truth… that it’s someone else.”“Yes, ma’am,” Ava replied.There was silence.“Goodnight,” I said, ending the call as I let my phone fall onto the bed. “What am I supposed to do…?” I whispered, staring at the ceiling. “Keep pretending… or risk everything by telling the truth?”I shut my eyes, forcing sleep to claim me.*The next morning*I woke early, freshened up, and dressed quickly. Grabbing my phone and bag, I headed downstairs.Outside, Mr. Gab was already waiting beside the car.“So she kept her promise…” I murmured under my breath.He opened the passenger door, and I slid in. Moments later, we were on the road.When we arrived at the empire, I took the elevator
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Not Again
Liora’s POVI swallowed hard as I turned back toward Aurora.Soon, we arrived home. Derek stepped out first, moving around the car to open the door.My legs trembled, though I forced them to stay steady as I stepped down and walked inside with Aurora in my arms.My eyes swept across the living room, searching instinctively.So… what exactly is this surprise?Derek entered behind me.“I need to lay her down,” he said, already walking toward me and extending his arms for Aurora.I hesitated for a second before handing her over. He cradled her effortlessly and carried her in without another word.I lowered myself onto the sofa, my thoughts unsettled.Minutes later, Derek returned and took a seat opposite me, his gaze lingered.“So what’s the surprise?” I asked again, my voice softer this time.“I’m certain you won’t believe it,” he replied.He slid his hand into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and tapped the screen before extending it toward me.“Take a look.”A strange unease coiled i

Liora’s POV“Planning what?” Trisha asked as she stepped closer.I exhaled slowly, my gaze drifting down to Aurora.If not for her… I already knew what I would have done to Trisha to set her mind straight.“Who exactly is Jace to you?” I asked, lifting my eyes to meet hers, my tone quiet but edged with steel.“Jace is my brother… I’ve told you that before,” she replied smoothly.“Your brother?” I repeated, a faint lift of my brow. “Then how do you explain him saying your mother died two years ago?”For the briefest moment, her confidence wavered.She turned sharply to Jace. “Our mother isn’t dead… you must have forgotten,” she said tightly, before facing me again with a composed smile. “Ma’am, I apologize. He suffers from memory loss.”“Oh, really,” I murmured, nodding faintly as I adjusted Aurora against my shoulder. “Interesting… because I seem to recall you forgetting to inform me that you brought an old acquaintance here and passed him off as your sick brother.”A quiet scoff slip
