"You came."

The voice came from the shadows of the old church, soft and trembling. Vivian stepped through the creaking wooden door, her heart pounding against her ribs. The building was dark, lit only by the pale moonlight streaming through stained glass windows. Dust motes danced in the thin beams of light, and the air smelled of old wood and forgotten prayers.

She'd come alone, just as the note instructed. Elena had wanted to follow, but Vivian had refused. She didn't know who was waiting for

  • THE FAKE HEIRESS and Her OBSESSIVE BROTHER   Chapter 13: The Decision

    The forest swallowed them whole.Vivian ran until the mansion disappeared behind the trees, cold air burning her throat while branches scratched her bare arms. Elena stayed beside her, stumbling over roots but refusing to stop.Behind them, something cracked, and they both froze. For one terrifying second, Vivian heard nothing except her heartbeat before another branch snapped somewhere in the darkness.Someone was following them. "Move," Vivian whispered, and they ran again.The moon barely showed through the thick canopy, and every tree looked identical while every shadow seemed to shift. Vivian kept one hand around the small flashlight she had taken from the safe house, but its weak beam did little against the darkness.She didn't dare look back if Damian's men were close, she feared her legs would stop working. Elena suddenly caught her arm and pointed ahead."There!" A narrow path appeared between two rows of trees, and Vivian followed without asking questions.They pushed throug

    "We need to leave. Now."Elena's voice cut through the silence of the cabin, sharp and urgent. Vivian looked up from the photograph, her heart lurching. The four words on the back still burned in her mind. Find me. I'm waiting."What's wrong?" Vivian asked, already reaching for her bag."I saw something. A car. Parked down the road." Elena's face was pale. "It wasn't there before."Vivian's blood ran cold. She crossed to the window, peering through the dusty glass. A black sedan sat at the edge of the tree line, its engine off, its windows dark. No one got out. No one moved. But someone was in there. She could feel it."Get your things," she said, her voice steady despite the fear clawing at her chest. "We're leaving."They moved quickly, gathering their few belongings. Vivian stuffed the photograph, the letter, and the paper with the name Riverside into her bag. They slipped out the back door, disappearing into the thick woods behind the cabin.They didn't stop until the cabin was no

    "You came."The voice came from the shadows of the old church, soft and trembling. Vivian stepped through the creaking wooden door, her heart pounding against her ribs. The building was dark, lit only by the pale moonlight streaming through stained glass windows. Dust motes danced in the thin beams of light, and the air smelled of old wood and forgotten prayers.She'd come alone, just as the note instructed. Elena had wanted to follow, but Vivian had refused. She didn't know who was waiting for her. She didn't know if it was a trap. But she had to take the risk."Who's there?" she called out, her voice echoing through the empty pews.A figure emerged from the shadows near the altar. Small. Hunched. An old woman with silver hair and eyes that held a lifetime of secrets. She wore a faded coat and clutched a worn leather bag to her chest. She moved slowly, her joints stiff with age, but her gaze was sharp, missing nothing."You look just like her," the woman said, her voice crackling lik

    "Run."Elena's voice was barely a whisper, but it cut through the night like a blade. Vivian didn't hesitate. She grabbed Elena's hand and pulled her away from the edge of the pier, her heart pounding so loud she could barely hear anything else. The wooden planks groaned beneath their feet as they sprinted toward the shore.Damian's silhouette stood motionless at the end of the pier. He didn't move. He didn't speak. He just watched them, like a predator waiting for its prey to make a mistake. The moonlight caught his face, illuminating the cold smile that spread across his lips. He knew they were running. He knew they had nowhere to go.They reached the end of the pier and veered left, disappearing into the thick brush that lined the shoreline. Branches scratched at Vivian's arms, drawing thin lines of blood across her skin, but she pushed through, pulling Elena with her. The pain was nothing compared to the fear clawing at her chest."Where are we going?" Elena gasped, her voice ragg

  • THE FAKE HEIRESS and Her OBSESSIVE BROTHER   Chapter 9: The Call

    "You came."The voice drifted out of the darkness, soft and trembling. Vivian spun around, her heart slamming against her ribs. The old pier stretched out before her, wooden planks weathered by years of wind and salt. Moonlight spilled across the water, casting silver ripples on the surface. She'd come alone, just as the note instructed.She didn't know who she was meeting. She didn't know if she could trust them. But she had to know the truth. The note had been too specific, too personal, to ignore. Whoever sent it knew about the orphanage. Knew about Damian. Knew about the life she'd been running from."Who's there?" she called out, her voice echoing across the empty water.A figure emerged from the shadows beneath the pier. Small. Wrapped in a worn coat that hung loose on her thin frame. Dark hair falling across a pale face that looked like it hadn't seen sunlight in years. She looked young, maybe eighteen or nineteen, with wide eyes that held a lifetime of fear. Her hands were cla

  • THE FAKE HEIRESS and Her OBSESSIVE BROTHER   Chapter 8: The Healing

    "You look like you've been through a war."Chloe's voice was gentle as she dabbed antiseptic on the scrapes covering Vivian's arms. The motel bathroom was small, the light flickering overhead, but the warmth of her friend's presence made it bearable. Vivian winced as the cotton touched her skin, but she didn't pull away."I feel like I have," she admitted, her voice hoarse from exhaustion. "Every part of me hurts."Chloe finished cleaning the wounds and wrapped a bandage around Vivian's wrist. "You need rest. Real rest. You've been running on empty for days.""I can't rest. Not while—""Not while what?" Chloe cut her off, her voice firm but kind. "Not while you're bleeding and exhausted and barely able to stand? You're no good to anyone like this, Vivian. You need to heal."Vivian wanted to argue, but the words died in her throat. Chloe was right. She was running on fumes, her body screaming for rest. She'd been so focused on finding the truth that she'd forgotten to take care of hers
