STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge I'll Wait For You
Liora's POVThe ICU doors slid open, and Derek's mother and I stepped inside.Derek lay motionless on the hospital bed, his eyes peacefully shut.A clear oxygen cannula rested beneath his nose, while an IV line disappeared into the back of his hand.His left arm was wrapped in thick white bandages and secured in a sling to prevent movement. One of his legs was heavily bandaged as well, slightly elevated on a pillow.Machines surrounded him, their monitors flashing numbers and steady rhythms.Seeing him like this shattered me.A sob escaped before I could stop it."Derek..."His name broke apart on my lips.Beside me, his mother covered her mouth as silent tears streamed down her face."My baby..."Her trembling whisper barely reached my ears.She slowly walked to his bedside and gently brushed a few strands of hair away from his forehead."When you were little," she whispered softly, "you always hated hospitals. The moment you smelled medicine, you'd start crying."A fragile smile app
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Until You Wake
Liora's POVTears rolled down my cheeks as I sat in the hospital lobby.Derek... please come back to me.I clasped my hands tightly together. "Liora."At the sound of my mum's voice, I turned and saw her walking toward me with Jade.I rushed into her arms and hugged her tightly."It's okay... it's okay," Mum whispered repeatedly as she rubbed my back.She gently guided me back to the waiting area, and we sat down, my head resting against her shoulder.A moment later, a nurse stepped out, and I quickly shot to my feet."How's he?" I asked.But she didn't answer. Instead, she hurried away."Calm down, Liora," Mum said, holding my hand."How can I be calm..." My voice softened painfully. "When Derek is in there?"She gently stroked my hair."His mother will be here soon," she said.I looked up at her, my eyes widening.Just then, Aurora's tiny voice rang out."Mummy!"I turned and saw her struggling to keep up with Derek's mother. The moment she was let down, Aurora ran straight toward
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Save Him
Liora's POVMy heart pounded against my ribs as I rose to my feet.The moment the call ended, I immediately forwarded the recording I'd secretly captured to Jade.Please... let us not be too late.With trembling fingers, I opened the location-tracking app Derek and I had installed on each other's phones months ago.The loading icon spun, then a blinking blue dot appeared.Relief and terror collided inside me."I found him."My voice shook as I turned toward the bodyguards."We're leaving. Now."Neither of them wasted a second. They fell into step behind me as we rushed out of the house.The car sped through the streets, weaving between traffic while I kept my eyes glued to the moving location on my phone.The blue dot continued shifting; he was still moving.Please... stay alive.I quickly dialed Jade as she answered almost instantly. "Ma'am.""Send the recording to the police immediately. I want officers surrounding us, track our location. Use the recording as evidence. No delays.""
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Captured
Derek's POVJust then, a waiter walked toward me."Can I get your order, sir?" he asked, forcing a smile.Before I could answer, my eyes landed on a man sitting alone with several expensive liquor bottles scattered across his table. He smoked a cigar leisurely, his gaze never leaving me.Why was he staring at me like that?"Sir?" the waiter called, pulling my attention back.I looked at him."I know I've seen you before, though I can't remember where." His smile remained, but his voice dropped so low I almost missed it. "You need to run. They're after you."They're here already?My eyes widened as I looked back at the stranger.He was still watching me as a slow smirk spread across his lips.He's definitely one of them.The waiter straightened up, raising his voice again as if nothing had happened."Alright, sir. I'll get your order right away."Then he walked off.My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone and quickly typed:[Liora, Lorenzo and his gang are after us. I don't even kno
STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge Tear It Apart
Author's POVInside the convenience store, Elian stormed toward the cashier, fury radiating from every stride."Where is he?" he demanded, pressing the muzzle of his pistol against her forehead.The young cashier trembled so violently that her knees threatened to buckle."I-I don't know.""Don't lie to me.""I swear!" she cried, tears spilling down her cheeks. "He never came in here!"Elian's finger tightened around the trigger as his breathing turned slow and dangerous.Before he could pull it, one of the Blackwing members stepped beside him."Boss."Without taking his eyes off the terrified woman, Elian growled, "What?""Lorenzo's orders. Our targets are Derek, Mr. Gab, and Liora. No unnecessary casualties."Elian's jaw clenched.For several tense seconds, the pistol remained trained on the cashier before he finally lowered it with a frustrated snarl.Instead, he swung the back of his gun across a nearby display, glass exploded across the floor as shelves toppled over.Customers scr

Derek's POVI stepped out of the hospital and headed toward my car, pulling the door open."Sir."Rafe's voice came from behind me, making me turn."Elian has just been spotted leaving the hospital," he reported.I slid into the back seat, and he climbed in beside me.Cole started the engine as my gaze drifted back to the hospital entrance.At least the guard would keep her safe until I returned.As we pulled onto the road, I turned to Rafe. "So, where is he now?"Rafe pulled out his phone, the tracking map already displayed on the screen."He just left the hospital."A faint smile tugged at my lips."Splendid." I leaned back before saying, "Follow him.""Yes, sir."Cole pressed harder on the accelerator, and the engine roared as the car surged through.Minutes passed with the speedometer climbing steadily, then Rafe's expression suddenly changed."Wait..." He frowned at the tracker before turning the screen toward me. "He's heading straight toward us.”My eyes narrowed at the blinkin
