Adeline's POV

We sat opposite each other in his home office. Both of us were trying to think up what to do next. Isaac had stayed at the back of my mind but my lawyer hadn't gotten back to me yet. Which meant I had to find everything else alone.

“Has Jackson gotten back to you?" I asked him, suddenly remembering the beautiful man and his plans.

Mikhail looked up from the clean table. He shook his head, “Not yet but I can see he's been working. A few payments have left the authorized account. I'

  • 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,

A chilly breeze blew in, the room temperature reduced to an extent I

  • THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN   The vicious plan

    MIKHAIL'S POVI sat in my office that afternoon, Well, not my usual office, the new one I moved into. Back at the board of doctors meeting. I was given a choice to either leave my work temporarily till everything settled or I distance myself from the Cause.I've known the Royce family for years now, and Adeline is someone I watched, grow and will fight for, her smile that brightens worlds, her laughter so light and soothing like the sea winds.Now that she's in danger, has been hurt and needs someone she truly trusts to stand behind her, I can't afford to break her any further than she already is.Left with my resolve of which I love my work and can't give up also, the board of Doctors decided that I take a temporary leave, but only-in-name.Giving the public this information would disassociate the Hospital's affair from any of my personal issues.That being said my office has to be changed to the last office in the building in case of any investigation that might happen.The size of

  • THE HEIRESS GAME;REBIRTH AND RUIN   The spa date

    Natasha's POVI glanced at Adeline in the passenger seat as I navigated through the city traffic. Her phone was faced down on her lap finally.She looked exhausted, the kind of tired that social media drama carves into your face after weeks of endless notifications, trolls, and pressure.I still remember the relief in her voice when she finally agreed.Now, as we pulled into the serene parking lot of the upscale spa tucked away from the main roads, she let out a long breath. "Thanks, Tash. I really needed this."Inside, the air smelled like eucalyptus and lavender. We changed into plush robes, sank into heated loungers with cucumber water in hand, and let the therapists work their magic, facials, massages, hot stone treatments.For the first hour, we barely spoke, just soaking in the quiet. It felt like the world finally stopped screaming at her.During the foot soaks, with our legs dangling in warm, bubbling water, the conversation drifted back to easier times."Remember when your mu

    Adeline’s pOVMy eyes found his as I shook my head in disbelief, “I can’t believe you’re telling me that. He’s important and you know we can’t risk to lose him, especially not if Conrad finds out. He’ll be in too much danger then”He looked at me, giving me a look I couldn’t exactly pin. His lips were pursed and eyes stormy with rage that his clenched fists told me about. “All I’m saying is, we can’t waste too much else we’re going to lose”I swallowed hard but continued to walk towards the car. Maybe he was right. He was probably right but I would never admit to that. Instead I kept quiet the entire ride, keeping to myself instead.He didn’t bother to break the ice either. My phone ringing was the only thing that broke the silence. When I looked it was to see a call from Natasha.I picked the call up immediately, “Hi darling” she cried out from the other end.I smiled, glad to hear her voice. “Natasha, my god. It is a surprise to hear from you. I wonder wh you’re not all over your h
