The office had been peaceful.

Suspiciously so.

For weeks now, everything had flowed with an almost unnatural smoothness. No tension in meetings, no unnecessary confrontations.

Just work.

And at the center of that carefully maintained balance was distance.

Gracelyn had made sure of it.

She kept her head down, her tone neutral, and her presence controlled.

She spoke when necessary, disappeared like she never existed, and avoided every situation that could create complications.

  • THE HEIRESS’ STOLEN IDENTITY    Don’t Touch Him.

    For a split second after the door burst open, everything froze.Ellen stood there, her hand raised mid-air, her chest heaving from anger and shock.Rex stood at the doorway, his presence filling the room like a storm about to break.And Nathan shifted in an instant.His shoulders dropped, his expression softened, and his eyes widened just enough to make it look real.Fear, helplessness, a perfect imitation of how Nicole would have reacted.He looked from Rex to Ellen, his lips trembling faintly as if he didn’t understand what was happening, but was scared anyway.It was so convincing it was almost freaking Ellen out.How did he go from talking back at her to looking like all hope was lost?Rex’s gaze snapped fully onto Ellen.His eyes blazed with anger.He could overlook whatever she did, but raising a hand on his son? No!“Ellen…” he said again, his voice lower now, sending chills down her spine. “What exactly is going on here?”Ellen froze for a second.Then instinct kicked in, and

    The house was quiet.Sunlight filtered through the curtains of Nicole’s room, casting soft patterns across the floor where he sat.His legs were folded, surrounded by scattered toys he barely played with anymore.But today..?Today was different.Because he wasn’t alone.Nathan crouched beside him, a small car in his hand, rolling it slowly across the floor before making an exaggerated engine sound.“Vrrrmmm… crash!” he whispered dramatically, bumping it lightly into another toy.Nicole blinked.His gaze followed the movement.There was a small reaction, and athan caught it instantly.“That’s right,” Nathan said softly, his tone shifting, softer now. “That one lost.”Nicole’s fingers twitched slightly, and Nathan smiled.“You like this one?” Nathan asked, picking up another toy and holding it up.Nicole didn’t answer, he just stared at it for long, and gave a nod.“Yeah,” he murmured. “I figured.”It was a robotic device that could be controlled by a remote.He leaned back slightly, s

    The office had been peaceful.Suspiciously so.For weeks now, everything had flowed with an almost unnatural smoothness. No tension in meetings, no unnecessary confrontations.Just work.And at the center of that carefully maintained balance was distance.Gracelyn had made sure of it.She kept her head down, her tone neutral, and her presence controlled.She spoke when necessary, disappeared like she never existed, and avoided every situation that could create complications.Especially where Rex was concerned.She had to. If she needed to fulfill her promise, she needed to be cautious.It wasn’t difficult.Or at least, she told herself it wasn’t.But the truth was far less convincing.Because avoiding someone didn’t erase awareness.And no matter how much she tried, she was always aware of him.When he walked into his office.When his voice sounded faintly through the glass walls of his office.When their paths almost crossed, and she had to change direction at the last second.It was

    Ellen stood frozen in the hallway long after the elevator doors had slid shut behind her.Her chest rose and fell unevenly, like she had just outrun something…but the truth was, she hadn’t moved fast enough.Gracelyn.The name alone felt like a ghost clawing its way out of a grave Ellen had personally buried.“No…” she whispered under her breath, her fingers curling tightly around her handbag. “That’s not possible.”But it was.She had seen her. Not just a resemblance. Not someone who looked like her. It was Gracelyn. She was alive, composed, and walking these halls like she belonged here.Like nothing had ever happened.Like Ellen had never existed.Like she was not the woman who had begged to be seen, back then.She was different.Her stomach twisted violently.Without thinking, she turned on her heel and headed straight for Rex’s office, her heels clicking sharply against the floor, echoing her rising anger.She didn’t bother knocking.The door swung open with force.Rex barely loo

  • THE HEIRESS’ STOLEN IDENTITY    Meeting Ellen.

    Gracelyn didn’t realize how fast she was walking until the huge doors of the office building closed up behind her and the cool air hit her face.Only then did she slow down.Her heels clicked against the floor as she made her way toward her office.The moment she shut the door behind her, the silence wrapped around her like a second skin.Her hand rose instinctively.Her fingers brushed her cheek.It felt warm. Still burning.From embarrassment, maybe.Her jaw tightened.She could still feel it; the weight of his gaze, the way his voice had wrapped around her name like it belonged to him. The way he held her firmly like he was afraid to lose her.Rex.A sharp breath escaped her like a gasp.“No,” she muttered under her breath, shaking her head as if she could physically rid herself of the memory.Not anymore.She forced her hand down, gripping the edge of her desk.You will be out of here soon.The thought grounded her. She straightened slowly, exhaling.The Rebirth Collection.Just a

    Nathan lay on his bed, the glow from his phone lighting up his face in the dim room.The house was quiet now, as if everyone had gone to sleep, except him.He opened his messages, and immediately texted Nicole.“How did it go?”The typing bubble appeared almost immediately.Then, it disappeared.Then, it appeared again.Nathan smiled faintly.A reply came in.He said, “Fine.”Nathan rolled his eyes playfully, and typed. “That’s it? ‘Fine’?”A few seconds passed.Then, Nicole wrote back. “He didn’t ask much. Not like I can answer him, anyway.”Nathan exhaled, staring at the screen.Of course he didn’t.His fingers hovered over the keyboard before he typed again.“Lucky you. I wish I couldn’t talk sometimes.”He hit send.For a moment, he smirked to himself, but as the seconds turned into a full minute… then two… then three..The smirk faded.His brows furrowed.“Oh…” he muttered under his breath.He sat up quickly.Then, he typed, “Hey… I didn’t mean it like that.”No reply.His chest

    Before Rex could make it back to the company, his phone rang.The sudden vibration cut through the silence of his car and even his mind, dragging his attention away from the road and the thoughts that had been circling his mind since the café.He glanced at the screen.Emergency.His jaw tightened

    Rex didn’t realize when curiosity turned into something deeper…something that seemed urgent, and made him restless… almost as though he was obsessed.One minute, he had been at his desk, flipping through quarterly reports with his usual cold expression. The next, he was standing, already halfway ou

  • THE HEIRESS’ STOLEN IDENTITY    The Cafeteria.

    The sound coming from the company cafeteria was loud. The clinking sound of cutleries, low chatter floating, trays sliding across metal rails…but none of it masked the tension brewing in the far corner.Gracelyn noticed it the moment she stepped in.It was as though she had come to the cafeteria sp

  • THE HEIRESS’ STOLEN IDENTITY    Who Is She?

    Gracelyn stood at the doorway for a moment, her hand resting lightly against the doorknob as her eyes lingered on Nathan.He was sprawled on the rug, completely absorbed in his toy cars, making soft engine noises as he played.The innocence and slight loneliness in the scene tugged at something dee
