THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN Double Trouble
Mikhail’s POV“Sir…”The moment my assistant called out to me backstage, I knew something was wrong.Not just wrong…catastrophic.“What is it?” I asked, my voice low.She hesitated, and that pause was all the confirmation I needed.“Say it.”Her throat bobbed before she spoke. “Another video has been released.”For a second, the world went silent.Then the noise returned all at once, like a tidal wave.“What kind of video?” I demanded.Her face now was filled pity. “A… manipulated one. It’s already everywhere. They’re saying Miss Adeline forced herself on someone. That she—” She stopped herself, unable to finish.My jaw tightened. I didn’t need to hear more to know it was a lie and to know the person behind it…Conrad.Of course, it was him.Before I could even begin to process a response, a wave of noise hit me from outside.From the crowd…their voices grew louder, even some screams followed.Most of them already had their phones pulled out.“Doctor Leonidovich!” someone called from
THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN Holding the Line
Mikhail’s POVWhen I stepped through the doors leading to the coference room, a massive wave of light hit me like a tidal wave.It almost knocked me back physically, but I managed to hold myself.I took in a deep breath, the slowly, I walked l behind the podium, my fingers resting lightly against the wood.Then, I let my gaze sweep across the sea of cameras and eyes.The room was packed. Every major outlet was here and present.And yet…The only thing I could see was the empty chair beside me.Adeline’s chair.She has to be here. I couldn’t do this myself.They wanted her, not the best friend of her father…I could feel the tension bubbling in the room. It felt like it could explode any second now.I slipped one hand into my pocket, pulling out my phone just enough to glance at the screen.‘Where are you??’ I typed and sent it quickly…Not deliveredWhat?! Where the hell eas she?My jaw tightened almost imperceptibly.That wasn’t like her.Adeline was reckless at times, emotional even
THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN Locked In
Adeline’s POVThe knife began to shake violently in Isaac’s hand.I didn’t know much when it comes to murder, but, I knew that.. it wasn’t the grip of someone who truly wanted to kill himself.It was fear.“Don’t come any closer!” he barked again, pressing the blade harder against his neck.But the thing with fear, it had a funny way of making people do what they don't want to…Jovial froze beside me.“Isaac… please…” her voice broke, fragile and desperate. “It’s me. Just—just look at me, okay? You don’t have to do this.”But he wasn’t looking at her.His eyes were darting everywhere around the room, from the walls, door, corners—as if expecting something… or someone… to jump out at any second.He was unraveling.And time was slipping through my fingers.I stepped forward.“Adeline—” Jovial whispered sharply, trying to stop me.“I’ve got this,” I said quietly, not taking my eyes off him.Isaac noticed the movement instantly, then he pressed the knife deeper.“I said don’t move!” he s
THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN Running Out of Time
Chapter 34: Running Out of TimeAdeline POVThe address had already been punched into the driver’s GPS before we even got into the car.Now the black SUV tore through the streets, it’s engine roaring as it sped between lanes, security vehicles following close behind us.I stared out the window, but I barely saw the city passing by.All I could see was the clock in my mind.Tick.Tick.Tick.Every second that passed was another second Conrad had to twist the narrative, and another second reporters waited without answers.One thing I’ve learned over the years is that when reporters don’t get answers they tend to make their own.My leg bounced restlessly.I checked my watch again.And a minute later, I did again.Beside me, Jovial sat rigidly in her seat, both hands gripping her seat tightly.Her eyes were red.She hadn’t stopped trying Isaac’s number since we left, but each ime the call went unanswered.I turned toward her.“Just in case we have to,” I said calmly, “I don’t mind ambushi
THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN One Option Left
Adeline POV“He left this morning… but he never came back.”For a second, the words didn’t make sense in my head.They stayed in the air like something my mind refused to process.Then the meaning hit me.“What?”The word came out sharper than I intended.Jovial looked shaken, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to steady herself.“He..he said he was coming here,” she continued. “But he never—”“Call him.”My voice cut across hers.She blinked in surprise.“What?”“Call him,” I repeated, stepping closer. “Right now.”Her hands trembled as she reached for her phone.“I already tried—”“Try again.” I snapped.My heart was pounding so loudly I could barely hear anything else.“He can’t just disappear,” I said, my voice rising. “He knows how important today is.”Jovial stared down at her phone as she dialed the number.The room went silent except for the ringing sound coming from her phone speaker.It rang once…Twice…Thrice…Then the call dropped.“He’s not answering.”“Ca
THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN Before the Storm
Adeline POVThe room was so quiet it almost felt unreal.I sat at the edge of the couch, staring down at my hands as they twisted together in my lap. My fingers wouldn’t stop moving, like they were trying to shake off something invisible.Shame.Humiliation.Fear.Outside the window, the world carried on as if nothing had happened.People, cars, life itself moved on…But inside this room, time felt like it had frozen.The thought alone made me sick.The thought that somewhere out there, my body was being watched by strangers.I swallowed and forced myself to speak.“Is it everywhere?”My voice sounded thin, fragile.Across the room, Mikhail stood near the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. He had barely moved since we came in here.His expression was hard, unreadable, but his eyes hadn’t left me.He didn’t answer right away.And that silence told me everything.“Yes,” he said finally.The word landed heavily in the air.“It’s circulating on every platform.”I let out a small,
